Carrie What if

(A/N: I own nothing and read last chapter!)

Carrie relaxed as she danced with Rita to a slow song, Rita taking the lead easily with her wings furled up behind her. Carrie ignored the blood as she laid her head on Rita's shoulder, face turned in towards the gym teachers neck while Rita stared down at her in surprise for a second before smiling tenderly.

Erika growled from where she was dancing with Sue nearby, causing Sue to look at her in amusement.

"So does George know you're more into girls than boys?" Sue asked with a small smile, causing Erika to jump slightly and look at her in surprise before she smiled.

"Yeah he knows but he doesn't mind. He claims that it'll be nice to have a girl he can talk about other girls with who won't slap him for it." Erika said causing Sue to chuckle slightly, leave that to one of Tommy's friends alright.

"And does anyone else know about you being attracted to Carrie?" Sue asked causing Erika to grin sheepishly at how easily Sue had figured it out.

"Um…Tommy and George know, well so do you now, but no one else as far as I know." Erika said sheepishly causing Sue to grin at her slightly.

"It was kind of obvious with how you were glaring death at Miss Desjardin when she offered to dance with Carrie, and it was even more obvious with how much worse your glare got when Carrie laid her head on Miss Desjardins shoulder just now." Sue said, knowing that if she whispered it would only draw more attention to the conversation. By using a normal voice and tone that was mostly masked by the loud slow music, she drew less attention to the conversation.

"What I want to know" Sue began after watching how red Erika turned in amusement, "is if this is one of those instantly formed crushes or if you know Carrie from somewhere else?"

"Well. I actually met her once a few months ago. I was coming here to meet up with you, Tommy, and George for one of those double dates we had and I got lost cause George ran off ahead of me and I don't know the town so well." Erika began glancing over at Carrie who hadn't taken her head off of Rita's shoulder yet but was laughing at something the gym teacher whispered to her.

"The time where you were late for the double date and you seemed to be in a daze before taking Tommy to the side at the end of it and grilling him about something?" Sue asked causing Erika to nod ever so slightly.

"Yeah. Like I said I got lost and literally bumped into Carrie, although I didn't know her name then. I helped her up and explained that I was from Dover and had gotten lost when meeting up with some friends of mine for a get together. She had looked so confused and even wary of me that it wasn't fun, but I thought her confused look was adorable." Erika said as her eyes went slightly glassy as she thought back to how she met Carrie for the first time.

"I told her the name of the restaurant and asked if she could give me directions if not lead me there. She agreed to lead me there, and we got to talking on the way to the restaurant although she was so shy. I was startled to hear that she didn't know any songs aside from Hymnals because her mother didn't allow her to listen to music for some reason or another something about it being the Devils voice." Erika said causing Sue to look surprised.

"I knew Carrie's mom was a bible raving lunatic but I didn't know she was that obsessed with it." Sue said shaking her head in disbelief.

"I'll ask about that later. While on the way there I got out my older IPod, the one that only had a few songs that were mostly Christian pop or rock songs, and let her listen to a few. She got into them and since it was an old IPod and I got a newer one the week before, I let her keep it. She was so surprised at that…" Erika trailed off slightly while Sue looked sad, she could tell why Carrie was so surprised at the kind action. No one but Miss Desjardin treated her kindly before the Shower Scene as it was now called.

"When we got to the restaurant I thanked her and offered to let her join us, since it wasn't really a date for anyone but you and Tommy, but she declined cause she had to get home soon. She thanked me for the IPod again…repeatedly before she left, and it wasn't until I was grilling Tommy about all the girls with her general appearance at his school that I heard her name was Carrie, we had forgotten to introduce ourselves you see. And even though I tried to meet up with her again several other times it never really worked out, the only time I was able to see her was either while she was out doing something with her mom or walking somewhere looking worried but I never forgot her." Erika said causing Sue to smile slightly, it seemed that Erika was well and truly infatuated with Carrie…too bad that Carrie didn't seem to notice.

"Well since we still have a while before the cops get here I think we need to go on with the special surprise we had planned for tonight." Mr. Morton said nervously into the microphone after the song ended, causing everyone to fall silent as they stared at him.

"You see, the planners for Prom this year decided to have a surprise event after the coronation of the Prom King and Queen but with all of the drama…I forgot to announce it earlier." Morton said sheepishly, causing a good many of the partygoers to laugh at the nervous man. Everyone grinned or their eyebrows went up at what the surprise event was.

"This year we decided that the Prom Queen should sing a song of her choice for all of us! Carrie please come up here!"
