In the Vause family car:

Alex was nervous not out of fear of asking Piper to prom, but out of the fear that her mom's car could give out on the highway at any minute. Although this had been the first Alex had pursued anyone in her life before she was confident, and looking at the 5'10 Glamazon you could see why. However, when it came to Piper Chapman it was almost as if her calm, cool, and collected act melted away. After knowing the blonde for a couple of months she had managed to almost let her guard down completely and staring at her favorite cheerleader in the passenger seat she couldn't help but laugh as "Somebody to Love" By Queen played on the radio.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Situational irony."

"What?"

"Nothing, forget it." She said turning up the song and singing along.

Piper sat with her arms crossed half listening to the song, half stuck in thought. What did she mean situational irony? Piper knew what it meant, but what did Alex mean by it? Was she searching for someone to love? Was Piper not as worthy as she had thought? Was Alex into someone else and she had read all the signals wrong? Suddenly she was snapped out of her thoughts by the radio cutting out and the older girl slamming her hands against the steering wheel as the car pulled to the shoulder making it in time before the car came to a complete halt.

"Fuck." Alex's elbows were on the steering wheel with her head buried in her hands.

"What happened?"

"I think the battery died, I knew I should have brought my bike, but I thought it was going to-" Suddenly a crack of thunder and pouring of rain cut her off.

"Well at least we're safe?" The cheerleader said offering a faint sense of optimism, the only way Piper Chapman knew how.

"Yeah, but now that ruins everything." The leather clad cutie said with a frustrated sigh.

"What do you mean?"

Alex bit her lip out of nervousness before saying, "Maybe you should just open the pizza box."

Piper looked puzzled before opening the pizza box sitting comfortably in her legs, "Oh spinach and chicken?"

"Wait what? I'm gonna kill Nichols when I see her."

"Why?" the blonde once again staring at the taller girl completely puzzled.

"Because that was supposed to be a Hawaiian pizza with the word prom and a question mark on it."

Piper couldn't help but laugh, "Wow that's cheesy, like literally, but one of the sweetest things anyone's ever done for me."

"Really?"

"Yeah and I'd love to go to prom with you." She said tossing the pizza on the dash and kissing Alex who was still in shock.

Their kiss was gentle but electric, like nothing Piper had ever experienced before and she could feel the heat rising causing her to crave more. Uncomfortably leaning over the center console she began kissing the brunette deeper as their tongues fought for dominance until they fell into sync. Alex was the first to part the kiss as she began tracing her lips against Piper's pulse point and gently taking a bite of the blonde's supple skin causing her to let out a gasp met by a tap on the window and a muffled male voice yelling, "What the Fuck Piper?"

Rolling down the window Piper could see it was Larry, a guy she had been forced to hang out with due to her father's business. Although she genuinely did enjoy his company from time to time she had never seen any romantic potential in him at all. If anything she saw him the same way she saw her younger brother Cal.

"What Larry?" she asked out of frustration at the loss of Alex's mouth on hers.

"What do you mean what? If anyone should be mad it's me you ditched me so you could make out with some rocker lesbian in her broke down car?" he said almost crying throwing his hands up in the air.

Alex just winked sticking her tongue out and making a rock sign with her left hand. Which just made Piper chuckle.

"Seriously you're just gonna sit there and laugh at me?" he said tears welling up in his eyes

"Dude chill."

"Oh shut the fuck up Vause." As tears streamed and he hurried to wipe them away.

Alex hoped out her seat slamming her door, making her way round the car till she was standing face to face with Larry, well more like face to top of his head as he looked up at her, "Seriously Piefucker? You wanna go?"

"Alex, don't!"

Larry gulped down trying to find courage instead looking off to find his mother running towards him, out of the SUV she had been waiting for him in.

"Don't you lay your filthy hands on my son!" a familiar voice from her mother's famous dinner parties shouted causing Piper to hop into the back seat and hide.

"Dude you brought your mom as back up?" Alex almost lost it at how funny the situation was.

"That's right and I'm the only backup he'll ever need?" Mrs. Bloom stated as if she was proud of that.

The brunette couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and give the older woman a smug smile.

"Come on Larry, let's go before you catch a cold, Oh and Piper don't think I won't mention this to your father."

Only a light "Fuck" Could be heard from the back seat as the Blooms made their way back to their SUV.

Making her way back into her car Alex couldn't help but apologize, "Fuck Pipes I'm so sorry."

"It's ok, I should get home and try to talk to my dad before she does."

"Yeah, I'll call Nichols." The brunette wanted to scream moments ago she had her dream girl and a prom date and it all to shit because her car couldn't get them to her. Pulling out her phone dialing Nicky.

Back at Red's Nicky sat holding the pedals of the Fast and the Furious game mindlessly with Lorna on her lap intensely maneuvering their imaginary vehicle through the track as they waited for the rain to die down. Something they had to do since the day Alex had gotten a little more furious than fast while trying to distract herself from Larry interrupting her and Piper's study date.

"Hey kid, why do you always wanna play this game, when you can reach the pedals to the car you have outside? Not that I'm complaining"

"Because then I couldn't use you as a chair, so where's the fun in that?"

"True and then I couldn't do this." The curly haired girl stated as she began to tickle the smaller girl's sides to causing her squirm and grind her ass against her. Nicky bit her lip trying to hold back a gasp instead exchanging it with her warm lips meeting the back of Lorna's neck causing the smaller girl to slightly arch her back to her touch. As she moved to place a kiss and lightly bite on the brunette's pulse point her phone began to vibrate against the lower half of the shorter girl earning a gasp and a giggle.

"Nichols I think you should get that?"

"Get what?"

"Your phone that's vibrating on my ass?" she said with a giggle she couldn't suppress.

"You sure kid? Cuz I think you liked it?" earning an eye roll she couldn't help but smirk as she reached for her phone slightly cupping Lorna's ass with her hand in the process. After pulling out her phone and seeing it was Alex she answered immediately.

"Yo Vause what's up?"

"Hey Nichols are you still working?"

"Nah, why what's up?"

"My mom's car broke down and Piper needs a ride home."

"Shit, ok hold on let me ask Lorna if she can give her a ride cuz I only have my bike."

Lorna just nodded, "Alright we're coming to get you guys, where are you?"

"Tell her thank you, umm off the highway 2 exits before my house."

"Okay we'll be there in a few." She said as she hung up the phone.

The two girls got up from the game, but before walking out were met by Red.

"Nicky I don't want you on your bike in the rain it's not safe, so you can put your bike in the back room and I'll give you a ride."

"Thanks ma will do, and it's ok Lorna's gonna give me a ride."

"Ok be safe then." She said hugging them as they walked out.

"I'll start the car while you put your bike away?"

"Okay.

Once in the car after putting her bike away in the backroom and making sure she had her keys they made their way to find Alex and Piper.

In the Morello's family El Dorado:

Nicky sat fumbling with the radio changing it till she reached a rock station.

"Hey I was listening to that."

"Sorry kid a girl can only take so much pop music, before she needs a kick drum and some guitar riffs."

"I guess so, but remind me to change it back because I get enough shit from Franny about hanging out with you."

"Your sister's just mad cuz I think you're the hot one." The lion haired girl said throwing a wink in the other girl's direction.

Lorna just rolled her eyes and shook her before asking "So how do you think the pizza thing went?"

"Well since Vause called like almost an hour after we got off of work and she's only 10 minutes away, I think it must have been pretty good considering the car thing."

Lorna giggled, "So umm, Nick I," she paused "Have something to ask you?"

"Shoot kid."

"So about ummm… prom and all that are we," Lorna was cut off by her prom date turning up the radio and almost as if with perfect timing started singing to Baby I'm Yours by the Arctic Monkeys.

"You're such a dork and I hope you know that, Nichols." She practically shouted over the music.

Nicky just continued singing leaving the smaller girl with the cheesiest grin on her face. If they wouldn't have been going to rescue their friends she would have pulled over then and there and ask her to prove it. After the song ended Nicky reached for the brunette's hand and intertwined it with hers and kissed it.

"I hope that answers your question?"

"It does but, I think I need a clearer answer later." Lorna said with a wink, "Hey Nick is that them?"

"Yeah I think it is." She said as Lorna pulled up behind them. Both getting off the car Lorna pulled out an umbrella and they both walked up to the car reaching the driver's side looking in to see a certain cheerleader wrapped up in a familiar leather jacket.

"Your knights in shining armor are here?"

Alex couldn't help but laugh in response.

"Hey sweetie, I'm here to give you a ride."

Piper got out of the car slipping off Alex's jacket trying to hand it to her.

"Nah, pipes its ok you keep it you didn't bring a sweater."

"Thanks Ale." She said closing the door slipping back on the jacket as her and Lorna made their way towards the other car.

"Vause did you call a tow truck driver yet?"

"Nah, dude there's no way I could afford it."

"Call Boo then."

"No way."

"She owes you one and her dad has a tow truck and if he charges you I'll just cover it."

"Nah Nichols I couldn't ask you to do that."

"It's Paulo and my mom's money fuck it dude."

"You sure?"

"Yeah, Vause just make the call."

"Ok." She said before picking up her phone and calling Boo. Nicky walked back towards Lorna's car tapping on the driver's side window.

Lorna rolled down the window as Nicky began talking, "Hey I'm gonna stay with Vause and wait for the tow truck, think you could pick us up after?"

"Sure thing, Nick." She said before cupping Nicky's cheek and pulling her in for a kiss.

Reluctantly pulling away "I'll make it up to you later kid."

"I know you will." Were Lorna's last words before Nicky walked back towards Alex's car. Once she saw Nicky get in the car she drove off towards Piper's House

"Lorna, what was THAT?"

"What?"

"Did I or didn't I just see you kiss Nicky Nichols with my own eyes?"

Lorna just laughed before saying, "Yes."

"That's great so are you guys going to prom together?"

"Yeah and I think now we're dating?

"Wait seriously, how did she ask you?"

After a couple of minutes recalling the story about the pinball machine and how Nicky had sang to her on their way to rescue their friend, not mentioning how it was actually the second most romantic thing Nicky has ever done for her. The bike ride through the city being number one in the history of great and romantic things anyone had ever done for her.

"Wow that's like so cute."

"Yeah so how did Alex's pizza thing work on you?"

"Wait you knew?"

"Yeah, I have to say that was the cheesiest thing ever."

"Not as cheesy as Nicky singing."

"Anyways how did it go?"

"There was no Pizza."

"What? I swear I saw Nicky make that thing herself and even hand it, oh chapman I'm sorry that was all my fault I must have mixed up with the other Alex who came for his order."

"It's ok it didn't really matter I said yes and like we made out, but then somehow Larry found us."

"What, are you serious?"

"Yeah it was so funny and terrifying he was with his mother and god you know how she hates me, So now I have to rush home and talk to my dad before she does."

"Oh shit Chapman I'm so sorry."

"It's ok Lorn, I mean like it's probably gonna be sorta bad, but now I know Alex feels the same way I do about her so I don't think it could get worst."

They rounded the corner and Lorna pulled into a parking in front of the Champman's house.

"Well all I can say is good luck."

"Thanks, see you at practice tomorrow morning?"

"I don't think so, I think I might wanna spend the night at Nicky's tonight so I could be late if I even go."

"Ok well have fun, bye."

"Bye, good luck."

As Lorna waited for Piper to go inside she got a text from Nicky:

"We got picked by Boo's dad, you think you could meet us at his place?"

She replied with a simple "OK," before driving off to tow yard.

While driving to pick up her new girlfriend and their friend she couldn't help, but think this way all a dream.
