Both of them dreamed sweet dreams of total bliss and happiness. Dreams of the future the pair had planned with one another both entirely different; both unique in every way possible. In the morning, neither one of them had wanted to get up.
Opening his eyes slowly as to allow his eyes to adjust to the light shinning through his window; last night felt like a dream to him. He just didn't want it all to end and this new day to begin. He rolled over onto his back and stretched while he stared at the ceiling smiling at the precious memories of the night before. Just remembering the shine in her eyes as she saw him standing there before her in the park asking her to be his valentine and date to the school dance. He still couldn't believe she had said yes. He still could smell the sweet scent of her perfume lingering in the air as he hugged her tight and swung her around slightly.
He was completely over the moon for this girl and he couldn't believe he was lucky enough that she was his best friend at that. More than anything he couldn't wait for the dance that night. He just wanted the magic to be there again and to feel the closeness he had felt with her last night again. Not to mention he wondered if that feeling would remain or if it was just a phase due to the development of fresh new feelings. But no matter what he figured that this feeling would last forever because for as long as he could remember as far back as that may be; that feeling has always been there only now it has intensified.
Miley sighed slightly in her blissful slumber state and her dreams were wearing thin. She slowly begins to open her eyes only to be blinded by the shining sunlight that just so happened to be beaming through her drawn window shades. Her eyelids begin to flicker rapidly as she tries to adjust to the light but at the same time she attempts to shield herself from it. Sitting up in her bed; she wonders if everything was a dream. She runs her hand through her long messy tendrils as she glances around the room and notices all the little trinkets and gift from nick the day before. She realizes then that it was not a dream that it was reality. She smiled to herself as her mind slowly drifted back through her memories of yesterday. The warmth of the sun as it beat down on her back as she went on the cute scavenger hunt to find her prince charming. The great realization upon stumbling upon all those cute little clues that this person knew her very well which only helped her to guess and really hope that it was nick. And finally feeling like the luckiest person in the world to find that her best friend and secret crush was the one leaving her all the clues and gifts.
What more could a girl ask for she wondered open mindedly about it all. She was all to excited that tonight was the dance and that she was going with nick. But she was the most excited about actually getting to spend some time with him as not only her best friend but more than that. But first they needed to make it through the school day before the nights festivities could begin.
She got up from bed and went about her usual routine for the morning before heading downstairs to get something to eat. Nick had done the same thing as well. Although, Nick was a little more nervous than he had expected about the whole thing but he figured that was normal and it would all subside as the day progressed. After breakfast, Nick had gathered all his things needed for school and then made his way next door to wait for Miley and walk to school as they always had.
There was no awkward tension as both had expected but then again they weren't quite sure as to why they would think that anything would change. They had been best friends since they were in diapers therefore basically knowing everything there is to know about one another. Nothing could surprise them or ever really change no matter what.
They walked to school together like normal although occasionally they would hold each other's hand along the way. Nothing to drastic or crazy at least that was what they thought.
"Thanks for last night" a slight smile forming across her delicate skin
"No problem," he said feeling only slightly bashful. "You are special Smiley. Therefore only the best could be done for you."
The conversation between the two was small and quant but somehow meant quite a lot to the both of them. No one really would be able to tell but the two felt it.
The remaining way to school was relatively quiet but yet the two were quite comfortable. It was a complete and total understanding between the two with no misunderstandings and no conversation needed they both knew what the other had felt and thought and that was all the mattered.
The first couple periods of school had seemed to drag on for what appeared to be hours when really it was only minutes. But somehow the day just couldn't seem to end quickly enough for them so they could get ready for the dance. That seemed to be the buzz going around the school. Who was going with whom; what dress or outfit the girls were wearing and who was copying who etc. but it all didn't seem to matter to miley or nick whom were just completely in a whole world of their own. Just thinking about what the night was going to hold for them together. What special moments that could develop over the course of the dance and how much fun they were going to have with their friends.
As the final bell of the day rang; it seemed like everyone had bolted from their designated classrooms all at one and were all rushing around like crazy people to get out and get ready for the night ahead of them.
Miley and Nick met up outside in their usual meet up spot and were joined by a few other friends for their walk home together. Everyone was laughing and joking around just talking about everything that had gone on though out the day. Nick and the guys had ditched the girls slightly because they had grown tired of listening to the girls' gossip about their choices of makeup styles and hairstyles and who was getting ready with whom. They just decided to walk a head of them and talk guy things like baseball and football and what not instead of focusing in on the dance. Although they were all excited but they just didn't feel like showing it.
Slowly the group became smaller and smaller as everyone dispersed along the way once close to their homes. Before long it was just miley and nick once again. They joined hands and carried on the last couple blocks to home. Neither one knew what to expect or what was going to become of this whole thing. But they did know that they were beyond excited for the party tonight.
*** Hours later***
Miley and Emily were finishing the final touches to their outfits. They each helped each other in turn to get ready. When they were finally finished they each took a few steps back in order to glance at each other entirely from head to toe. They were stunned at how well they looked and couldn't believe that in only a few minutes the guys would be over to get them and then they were off to the dance. The first dance in a very long time they were actually quite thrilled about attending.
They guys, on the other hand, sat back on the couch and watched some television while they waited for the girls to get ready. They knew it was going to take them awhile but they just didn't understand why. They were able to get ready quite quickly. All they did was put on a nice dress shirt and nice pair of slacks and they were done and ready in less than 10 minutes. But girls take so long to get ready for the most simplest of things.
The guys have discussed this topic over and over again while they waited. They had come to the conclusion that they were going to have to get used to this if they wanted to date girls; surprisingly enough neither seemed to mind the wait even if they really didn't understand why.
About an hour later, the girls finally graced the waiting boys with their presence. As they descended down the stairs them boy's jaws dropped to the floor. Neither one of them could get over how beautiful Miley and Emily looked. Nick couldn't take his eyes off Miley as she made her way over to his place on the couch. She looks absolutely stunning; he thought as miley was now standing before him dressed so beautiful. She had worn a gorgeous pink and white laced dress that had come to her mid thigh. Her long flowing hair beautifully done half up and half down all curled all natural beautiful showing with a touch of color to her lips that's all.
He was truly stunned and just could come to grips on it all. Neither could Mitchell for that matter. He was stunned by how cute and pretty and incredible beautiful his girlfriend was. She was done up the same as Miley but she was a blue dress that really brought out her eyes and only made him feel even more attracted to her.
They took all the pictures that the parents had wanted to take and done everything that way they had wanted them too. Including the classic prom poses even they were no where near prom stage as of yet. But it was still fun none the less to pose for pictures. After the final pictures were taken the kids were finally off to their school dance and out of the grasp of their parents even for just a few hours.
The walk to the school was fun and exciting for them. Each couple were holding hands and giggling amongst each other about everything. Upon reaching the school; they couldn't wait to go inside and see how everything was done up.
It was really nice though. The front of the gymnasium doors were nicely decorated with pink, white and red streamers. Once inside the building there was a giant decoration heart for picture portrait could be taken, which most of them had done anyways. The gym all decked out in streamers and balloons and heart shaped confetti. It was a true sight to see. They D.J. played all the best most hip music of the generation.
Some more romantic than others; plenty of slow dances. The buffet table was set up on one side of the room with all sorts of foods and drinks. Chaperones lined the exits to be sure there was no real hanky panky going on.
Half way through the dance came on a song that both miley and nick had absolutely loved. It was a song from their childhood and they always remembered their parents playing it at all the functions they had attended. They slowly danced together to this song, allowing the song to take them away. That's when it happened. They managed to make eye contact with one another at one point and everything just sort of happened so quickly. Before they had realized anything they had leaned in and kissed. A kiss of fireworks and passion that only they could imagine.
