"Mmm." Morgan coos as she eats the left over take away from their favorite restaurant.
"This is the best." Gwen says smiling at her white container. They both focus back on the big screen. They are watching, What A Girl Wants. They see the part when the two love birds kiss on the lake.
"Awww." They sing in chorus.
"That's too adorable." Morgana says. Gwen sighs.
"It really is." Morgana just giggles.
"What do you think is going to happen tonight?"
Gwen twists her mouth to the side. "I don't know something good hopefully." They both laugh.
"It's going to be amazing. But not as amazing as our senior prom, that will truly be amazing." Morgana says, somehow seeing the future.
"I wonder if Gwaine is nervous…" Gwen looks over to her friends slyly.
She blushes. "Mmmaybe." She says avoiding Gwen's gaze.
Gwen laughs. "He is, I can guarantee. Is Arthur?." She says slowly.
"Like you wouldn't believe." Morgana says, rolling her eyes.
"Really?" Gwen asks, intently looking at Morgana, who laughs.
"Seriously. All the boys were over last night and they were all asking each other about the girls. Merlin to Leon about Freya; Leon to Gwaine about Ella; Gwaine quietly asking Arthur about me; and of course Arthur practically begging Merlin for information."
Gwen just sighs. "He is just so cute." Morgana laughs.
"We are such girls, imagine when we get married." Both of them just look at each other. They slowly start to smile and giggle. Obviously getting excited about their special days down the road.
"I wonder what the guys are doing…" Gwen says smiling at Morgana.
"Eating." The both laugh, knowing that the boys love to eat!
Leon leaned back in his chair and rubbed his stomach a little bit. "Yes."
Arthur smiled and nodded. Toaster cooked frozen waffles and bacon. "Breakfast of champions." He says high fiving Leon. Merlin and Gwaine smiled and nod.
"This is the best. Maybe someday we can learn how to make the waffles too." Gwaine looks to the other three.
Arthur, Leon, and Merlin just stare.
"Ok, well maybe one day someone could make waffles for us."
"Shh, Gwaine. Shh." Arthur says patting his shoulder. Gwaine nods.
Leon laughs. Merlin just shakes his head at the two of them.
"Making waffles…that's definitely not in 'guy's book of rules'." Merlin says. Gwaine just looks down.
"It's almost noon… we need to leave here by…." Arthur closes his eyes thinking. "6, so that we can get the girls the corsages and… Be to their houses on time." He says with a cheeky smile.
"Sounds like a plan." Leon says nodding his head, as a compliant officer would do to the chief.
"Agreed." Merlin says nodding, downing the rest of his chocolate milk.
"So…" Gwaine says looking up to Arthur.
"Movie?" Leon says hopeful.
"Merlin, your turn to pick." Arthur says as he takes his plate and cup to the kitchen.
Merlin smiles his cheeky smile and rubs his hands together. "Yes!"
1:45 pm
Sense and Sensibility, Both girls are about in tears over this movie. This was one of those movies that just got you, if you were a girl.
"I just love this movie." Morgana says, trying to keep her tears back.
"I know." Gwen says. They are now back on the couch after making coffer and ironing their dresses. 40 minutes into the movie and they were almost undone.
"I hope that we are smarter that Marianne. It would kill to have that happen…." Morgana says very thoughtfully.
"We will be, trust me. "
They watch on, so thoughtful in their young love lives.
2pm
"Ohhhhh!" Leon says excitedly as they watch Jurassic Park in the scene when the T-rex's pull the man apart. Detaching his legs from his torso.
"Gruesome!" Arthur says happily watching.
"That's gonna leave a mark." Gwaine says laughing.
"There was a crack!" Merlin says watching intently.
"Ohhhhh!" They all sing in chorus as the people in the jeep scarcely make it to safety.
Uther peeks his head in, He chuckles. They are characters. He thinks to himself.
3:45pm
"These curlers are a pain to put in sometimes." Morgana complains as she rolls Gwen's hair into curlers.
"I offered to do yours last because I told you mine was a pain." Gwen says momentarily not singing with NSYNC.
"Pish posh." Morgana rolls her eyes. "OK all done!" She backs away slowly.
"Very nice!" Gwen appraises her 'hair in curlers just got out of bed' look. Morgana laughs. She sits back down on the floor of Gwen's room and once again picks up the book she has been reading.
"Are you sure that why is this book called Ishmael if it's not even about anyone with that name?" she asks annoyed.
"I can't figure it out! Why is she doing this to us?" Gwen says in mock sadness.
"Because were horribly good students." Morgana smiles.
"True, true." Gwen agrees.
"Ug!"
"What Gana?" Gwen asks.
"Is it time to go yet?"
"Geez Gana time out." Gwen laughs.
"I know…But is it time yet?" She begs.
"You are pathetic."
"Yeah, yeah, just because you're not saying it out loud doesn't mean you aren't doing in the inside."
"Hush!" Gwen blushed and focuses on her book.
Morgana laughs.
6pm
Time goes all too quickly all four guys come out of their "dressing rooms" and parade into the living room where Uther is. Uther stands and appraises each one as they stand in a line before him.
"Very nice, gentlemen." He looks at each of then looking at them up and down. "Very nice indeed." He winks at merlin and again at Arthur.
"All of the corsages are here, you all need to thank Leon's mother for picking them up for you." He says the last part a little sternly. "One last piece of advice, always be gentlemen and have fun."
With that all the boys bid him goodbye and go to get their damsels for the fare ball.
Arthur gulps as he approaches the door. He clears his throat and raises his hand to knock. He raps on the door and backs away, waiting patiently.
A minute later Tom opens the door.
"Hello, Arthur." He smiles warmly shaking the boy's hand.
"Tom. Are Guinevere and Morgana ready to go?" He asks smoothly. Not appearing very nervous, although he is. Impressive, Tom thinks to himself.
"They are indeed I will retrieve them." He says withdrawing into the house to get the girls. "Ladies, your escorts are here!" He yells. Then goes back to the door. "Are you nervous?"
"A little." Arthur smiles.
"She likes you." Tom says with a proud smile.
"I sure hope so." Arthur says cheekily. Just then he hears Morgana laugh as she comes down the stairs. Arthur catches a glimpse of her in a beautiful deep blue dress, with a square neck and thick straps on her shoulders. It has sparkles in the skirt, it looks like a star filled sky.
"Have a good time, Gana." Tom says. "Did your Uther get to see you?"
"Thanks Tom," She smiles. "He loved the dress."
"You look nice, Morgana." Arthur says smiling at his sister.
"You don't look too bad either, Arthur." She smiles. Gwaine marches up with a corsage in his hand.
"Hi, Morgana." He flashes a charming smile.
"Gwaine." She smiles back. They exchange a hug and he helps her put the corsage on.
Arthur turns back to the house and sees Gwen coming toward him. She is wearing a deep purple dress. A scoop neck and long sleeves.
"By dad." She says giving Tom a quick kiss on the cheek.
"Have fun, love." He smiles.
"By El!" She yells into the house.
"See ya!" He little brother responds.
"Hi Gwen." Arthur says smiling. She looks so pretty.
She turns to Arthur. "Hi Arthur." She says approaching him.
"You look lovely." He says holding his hand out for her.
She smiles as she takes his hand and he shows her the corsage he has for her.
"It's beautiful Arthur. Thank you." She says looking into his eyes.
"My pleasure."
The dance was a hit! Arthur and Gwen had a great time with the other couples. They danced and laughed and enjoyed the presence of each other's company. Arthur and Gwen walked back to her house, hand in hand.
"Thank you for taking me Arthur." She said leaning her head on his.
"My pleasure, trust me." He said back to her.
"I never got to ask, how is your dad?"
"Busy. But good. A night with you dad will probably make him better." She giggled. "How's your dad?"
"You know." She shrugged, "Things in Washington are heated still. Since 9/11 he is on conference call pretty much every day. I still can't believe that happened to us." She says with sadness.
"It's crazy." He said, but she could tell something was in his voice.
"What are you thinking about?" She asks lifting her head and looking at him.
"Just…. Thinking."
"Arthur," She said a bit reproachful. "I know you better than that. What's on your mind?"
"What's going to happen to us?" He said, a little sad.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean," He stops walking and turns to look at her. "Can you promise me something?"
"What is it Arthur?" She says taking his hand.
"Whatever happens in the next few years, promise me that there will always be a place for me in your heart. No matter what." He says his eyes full of desperation. "I know we are 16, but I need to know."
Gwen smiles warmly at him. "There will always be a place in my heart for you. No matter what happens. I'll go wherever you will go."
"Really?"
"Really."
