CHAPTER FOUR
The big day had arrived. After school, all the students rushed back home to prepare for Prom. The girls curled or straightened their hair with tongs, guys slicked their hair back with gel.
Lucy had chosen a royal blue ensemble, violet velvet frills and all. Her curly bob had been smoothened by a straightening iron into shiny straight locks that glistened with glitter. She had applied just a little pink lipgloss, that was it. Lipstick, eyeliner, mascara were not words in Lucy's dictionary. Makeup is disgusting, Lucy rolled her eyes. But this time, she bit her lip (not really) and applied strawberry glitterati to her lips.
She tried to convince herself that she was dressing up so much for Charlie Brown, but her heart proved otherwise.
I think this dress complements Charlie Brown's hair... She tried to convince herself.
Wait, what hair? Lucy snorted.
Schroeder then.
Do not think about Schroeder, do not think about Schroeder... Lucy chanted in her mind.
She looked at herself in the fulllength mirror. She did look quite... presentable, if she did said so herself. She couldn't help smiling a little and thinking of he would be impressed by her look. CHARLIE BROWN. I MEAN CHARLIE BROWN, She quickly told herself, upset.
...
Peppermint Patty threw on a pink frock, disgusted by the frills but biting her lip. She did not have a date, so she was hoping to impress Charlie Brown.
Marcie came into her room. Peppermint Patty gaped at her. She looked, AMAZING, with a black sheen dress, velvet frills and all. "Wow, Marce. Lookin' good!" Peppermint Patty whistled.
"Thanks sir! Franklin asked me!" Marcie flushed, her face red with excitement. Peppermint Patty sighed. Well, this meant that she was the only one. Without. A. Date.
Disappointed, she picked up the phone to make a call.
...
Ding Dong! The doorbell to Lucy's house chimed.
Lucy applied a final layer of gloss, and just a touch of rouge for good measure, picked up her clutchbag, put on her LV heels - it cost her three month's savings - and teetered to the door.
"Urgh, stupid heels!"She mumbled to herself. She had never understood why women wore heels. But oh well. This time it couldnt be helped. She had Schroeder to impress. CHARLIE BROWN. She corrected herself furiously.
Before opening the door, she tried to muster an excited smile. But failed miserably.
"Hey, blockhead," she muttered as she pulled open the door.
...
Peppermint Patty's doorbell rang.
Followed by a series of taps. Tap taptaptaptap taptap.
Her eyes widened.
Could it be? Chuck's knock! she exclaimed inwardly.
Rushing to the door, she tore it open.
...
"Hey."
Lucy could only stare. He was dressed in a lovely suit, with a corsage in his pocket. He was wearing the suit. Her suit.
His hair shone in the twilight.
Such beautiful tousled blonde hair.
...
"H-Hey Peppermint Patty!" Charlie Brown could only stare at her in awe. Why hadnt he noticed how pretty, no, beautiful she looked? Peppermint Patty looked positively radiant, her face flushed with happiness. Charlie Brown did not know what had come over jim at that moment. He almost couldnt control himself from placing a kiss on her cheek.
"CHUCK!" she shrieked and without even thinking, threw her arms around him.
Charlie Brown, shocked, did not know how to respond. He just stood the and hugged her back, which made Peppermint Patty cry. This was the first time she cried.
"I thought you were with Lucy!" she queried, in between joyful sobs.
"Uh, yup, but I kind of did a switch..." he stammered, feeling overwhelmed by the amount of love he was getting from Peppermint Patty, but, secretly happy.
...
"Schroeder! Why arent you with Violet? Is this all a trick just to make me cry, again?" Lucy demanded, refusing to let herself be taken in by Schroeder's sudden appearance.
"No," he said calmly, smiling. This smile, Lucy had rarely seen. The last time she saw it, it was five years ago, when he had been eating his first scoop of ice cream, ever.
"What about Vi?" Lucy demanded in disbelief.
"What about Vi?" Schroeder said dreamily. "I never intended to go to Prom with her."
Lucy was taken aback. Where was the old Schroeder? Where was the Schroeder who ignored her, insulted her, pushed her away?
"Go away! This is all a trick, a prank!" Lucy screamed, turning to close door.
"No," Schroeder said, and instantly, Lucy felt herself being swept. Into his arms.
"Look, Luce, I'm sorry i slammed the door in your face the other day. I was just feeling stressed."
"Bu-"
"Will you go to Prom with me?"
Lucy could not believe this was real. Pinching herself and still remaining in his arms was a miracle.
"YE-, I mean, sure, fine."
"Great."
"Wait what about Charlie Brown?" Lucy suddenly remembered.
"Lets just say, Peppermint Patty got her dream come true."
Just then, the mailman stopped by Lucy's house.
"Mail for Miss Van Pelt!" he called out.
"From who?" Lucy looked a little nervous. The university applications!
"Hm wait... New... New York University."
Lucy's eyes blurred.
She ran and snatched the letter from him, tears of joy streaming down her face.
"I... I got in! I got in, Schroeder!" she squealed, holding up her acceptance letter in glee.
Schroeder's face lit up. "Lucy, I almost forgot to mention, I got into Juilliard too!"
"Hey, arent they both in NY?" Lucy said slowly.
"We can be together!" Schroeder blurted out, forgetting to process his thoughts before letting them escape, in a moment of joy.
Lucy blushed.
"I guess we can," she smiled.
...
Linus watched Schroeder embrace Lucy from his window. He felt a smile creep onto his face.
His sister had finally had her dream come true.
...
That night, the stars shone more brightly than it had ever done before.
