Sam and Danny returned just as the prom committee took the stage. The head began to speak, "Ladies and gentlemen, I hope you're all having a ball at this year's prom!" This followed by loud cheers. "The time has come to announce tonight's prom king and queen! First up, our king this year is…" The student opened a small envelope and he smiled as he shouted, "Our prom king is Danny Fenton!"
Danny's jaw dropped as Sam pushed him towards the stage, amidst several whooping cheers from the audience. Sam ended up standing next to Paulina, who seemed especially smug. Sam sneered, "What are you smiling about?" Paulina scowled and said, "I'm about to steal your date, that's why! It is sooo obvious that I will be prom queen, so just start accepting now that you don't stand a chance with Danny!" Sam said, "That's a nice black eye Paulina, mind if I give you another one to match?"
The head of prom committee then spoke again, "And now it is time to announce this year's queen." He opened the envelope and smiled even more, "This year's prom queen of the class of 2006 is…Samantha Manson!" Paulina's jaw dropped and Sam seemed pleasantly surprised. She joined Danny up on stage and was given the ceremonial roses and crown. "And now, ladies and gentlemen, the time has come for our king and queen to lead us in a dance. Danny, Sam, take it away you two lovebirds!"
Danny and Sam returned to the dance floor and once again wrapped their arms around each other, swaying to the beat of the music. They gazed into each other's eyes and without thinking, despite the fact that hundreds of kids were watching, they kissed again. This solicited several wolf-whistles from the crowd and a couple of cheers from Tucker and Valerie off to the side, and as the other couples joined in, Danny and Sam danced for the rest of the night, now safe in each others arms.
It was two in the morning when Danny finally returned Sam to her front porch. He kissed her goodbye and just as he walked away, Sam grabbed his arms and locked him in another kiss. When they parted, Danny was dazed, confused, and loving it. "I'll see you tomorrow, Sam. I'll get you for that too…" Sam smiled and said, "I look forward to it. I'll see you tomorrow, my hero." She opened her door and winked at Danny once more before closing in behind her. Danny transformed and shot into the air.
He floated back into his room and flopped on his bed, sighing happily as he scooted out of his tux and into in pj's. "You know, maybe dances don't suck so much after all." He fell into a peaceful sleep, with different, happier dreams flying through his head for the rest of the night. At least, until his mother jerked him awake the next morning for school…
