"Yo, I was at the lobby and-" Rhodey drifted on but saw as his two best friends looked pale.
"Hey you guys okay?"
Pepper nodded getting up and heading to her room to dress for bed.
"Is something wrong did I miss something?" Rhodey asked seeing Pepper looked sad.
"Yeah, we're fine Pepper and I were just talking." Tony headed to the kitchen.
"Okay, but guess what who I saw in the lobby it was the general for my dads base-" Tony drifted in thought as to what just happened recently, to his disappointment Rhodey interrupted there bound to kiss moment. Curse Rhodey.
"Tony? Hey man are you okay?" Rhodey asked
"Yeah I'm just tired bro, lets go to bed?" Tony said fist bumping him.
"See you in the morning" he waved with two fingers.
"That was weird" Rhodey shrugged and headed to his room.
In the morning they went to the to the lobby to get breakfast, they ate eggs and bacon. It was the day they head off to meet to president, they were all excited they couldn't sustain the excitement. It was noon when they finished and they headed to walk around and explore the city. Light the White House, the United States capital, and the Washington monument. They took pictures where ever they went, it was memorable.
The moment came and it was time to get ready, the First Lady room Pepper to a professional hair stylist and makeup artist.
She went out the limo and got in the salon.
"Hello, your appointment is ready, head this way" Pepper followed and sat on the chair as the black cape went over her.
Tony and Rhodey headed off to their rooms, Tony took a shower and draped the towel onto his waist as he sprayed cologne. He put on his white shirt and golden vest on top, he pulled his pants up and buttoned them on. He put on his suit jacket and fixed his bow tie. After that he fixed his hanker chuff and his hair. He sides were shaved off and the top was curved heading upward; he winked and headed out.
He saw Rhodey already waiting for him at the door with a black undershirt and a red vest and red suit tie. He was smirking with his hands on his pockets.
"Damn Rhodes, you clean up well" Tony said walking up and giving him a bro hug.
Rhodey smirked once again "What can I say? I'm gonna get laid tonight" Tony felt disgusted he playfully pushed him out the door.
They headed in the limo "Where's Pepper?" Tony asked
"She's probably still getting ready at the salon" Rhodey added.
Tony never stopped thinking about her ever since the day they almost kissed. She meant everything to him now and he knew today would be the day the secret would end.
They arrived at the entrance and the chauffeur opened the door for them
"Mr. Stark, Mr. Rhodes. Welcome to the Presidents ball" they greeted.
The boys nodded there head as in royalty, they headed in and saw that their were hundreds of elegant people. Their was the Vice President, the secretary, the general, and the president of Europe.
"Damn, lot of fancy people" Rhodey commented.
"Pepper should be here" Tony questioned.
"I'm going to find a girl around he-" but Tony grabbed his back collar and pulls him back.
"Tony what was-" Tony elbowed him as the First Lady walked up to them in a red puffy dress.
"Anthony, I'm so glad you made it" she smiled
"It's an honor to be here Ms. Stewart" Tony out his hands in his pockets
"Come, someone wants to see you" she said as the boys followed.
"Honey, your guest of honor I'd here" Vanessa said to her husband
Robert Stewart turned and faces Tony he instantly smiled.

"It's and honor to be here, um you bet my brother James Rhodes" Tony introduced.
"Happy birthday Mr. President" Rhodey shoot kid hand.
"James Rhodes it's a pleasure, but where is your girlfriend uh Patricia Potts" he asked
"Uh that's his girlfriend, his" Rhodey backed away and pushed Tony.
"Uh I could ask the same thing" he looked at Vanessa.
"I'm sure she'll be here soon, she-" Vanessa looked up and immediately everyone else did too. Tony eyes almost popped out if his sockets.
There, Pepper walked down the stairs in and elegant golden gown that dragged behind her, it was strapless which showed her amazing collar bone and her beautiful neckless Tony had given her in her birthday. Her hair was curled and her make up mad her skin and eyes bright even more.
She walked to to Tony and smiled wide and him.
"Miss Patricia Potts, you look ravishing" Robert bowed at her. She laughed
"Thank you Mr. President, and happy birthday" Pepper bowed.
Tony couldn't stop looking at her. She was mesmerizing.
"Tony?" Pepper said as the president left with his wife.
He blinked heading back to focus.
"Sorry Pep . . . You look amazing" Tony looked in her eyes.
She blushed, they went to go find their table at that point they walked to it and sat with an amazing centerpiece informing the Stark Table. They watched as the informer presents the band. They played jazz rock and roll, Tony looked at Pepper as she tapped her foot at the fluent tone.
Pep you want to dance" he asked smiling at her. She laughed and grabbed him pulling him to the dance floor. They grabbed hands and danced with the smile in their face.
It was moving and everyone's around them danced talking and laughing at each others ridiculous moves.
She twirled and shook her body to the best making Tony stare up and down. Curse my teenage hormones.
The song changed and it became soft.
"You want to get fresh air?" Pepper asked
He nodded and followed her grabbing her hand.
"The night is so beautiful here, look at the stars" Pepper said amazed.
Tony leaned on the garnet staring at the night sky. "Yup there very beautiful"
She looked at him, smiled and looked back laughing
His eyes frowned "What?" He smiled.
"Nothing" she finished trying not to laugh.
"What Pepper?" He said
"Nothing . . . Tony I never did thank you" she said looking down at the fountain.
"Thank me for what?" He looked at her.
"Without you I would have never met these wonderful people, or Iron Man or even Roberta" she signed "It's and extraordinary life" she smiled looking at him.
"Without you I would have never been the guy I am today" he smiled and grabbed her hand "I wouldn't have an interesting life without you in it. Your personality, your humanity. That is way I am the man I am today . . . I Learned to love" he said with a soft smile.
She blinked "What do you mean?"
"Even though I didn't know how to feel affectionate, you made me feel that way. Pepper ever since we got to know each other. You have made my life a while new story. Your kindness, curiosity, beauty. Your the whole package for me" Tony looked deep into her eyes. She was speechless, she opened her mouth but nothing came out.
"So I finally made to speechless huh?" Tony laughed, she still didn't say anything she just stared at his lips and electric blue eyes. She through herself around his shoulders burring her face in the crook of his neck. He was surprised but soon hugged her wait bringing her up and swinging her to the other side where he was.
"I knew you feel the same" Tony added.
She looked at him and her eyebrows furrowed.
"I heard you say it when you moved me to the bed at the lab" Tony smiled
"Tony" she slapped his shoulder.
"What? I planned the whole thing. I heard you come in and pretended to sleep so you wouldn't get mad. So you decided to move me while I was still not moving; pretending to sleep. And when you laid me in the bed you whispered I love you Tony, if only you knew" he said in a girly voice. He planned the while thing, 'Note to self: never move Tony again. Next time smash a hammer onto the desk to check' Pepper thought.
She crossed her arms and pouted walking away from him.
He quickly stopped her and grabbed her waist pulling her back to him.
"You have no idea how I wanted to tell you how I feel" Pepper said smirking.
"Now you don't have to wait" Tony smirked and kissed her sending both an electrical wave down there body. They lasted a while, both enjoying the taste and smell they both had. Gross, Rhodey opened the sliding door to interrupt his best friends.
"I knew it, I knew it, you guys . . . Are so etching perfect" Rhodey couldn't find the words.
Tony and Pepper laughed, Rhodey had told them to head in to dance the President's Ball. But both just stared deep into their love life.
"So is this a new beginning?" Tony asked
"Defiantly" Pepper kissed him once again.
