Chapter 9: Prom Night

Date: Friday 22nd June 2013

Time: 6:30 pm

Location: Snell's residence, Chamberlain, Maine

Carrie & Sue were getting washed and dressed, as well as putting on a little makeup, & their prom dresses. Carrie's prom dress was Pearl Pink with thin straps on the shoulders & with a train that was an inch from touching the floor, thanks to a few handmade modifications by Carrie, she also had a white pearl bracelet & matching high heel shoes, in Sue's eyes, Carrie looked like a beautiful young Princess... Sue's Prom Dress was Burgundy Red, with only one thick strap on her right shoulder, her train was also one inch from the floor, and she also had Rose Red high heel shoes, in Carrie's eyes, Sue was her true queen…

Sue's Parents were with Margaret as the local Hospital, after Carrie/Venom's fight with Margaret/Scream, Eleanor and Mason found Margaret unconscious, & got her to hospital, and stayed with her, to make sure she and Scream didn't do any more harm & Damage, unaware what Eleanor and Mason had gained from the L.I.F.E Foundation Massacre… They also told Carrie & Sue to enjoy their prom night, and not to worry about them…

As the two girls admired each other's beauty, Venom admired them also, but was strangely being quiet for most of the time…

"You look absolutely beautiful Carrie, my pretty Princess…" Sue said with a blushing face.

"& you look absolutely Gorgeous Sue, my true Prom Queen…" Carrie replied, also blushing red in the face… "What do you think, Venom?"

"I think you both look really fabulous, girls…" Venom replied, while her face formed out of Carrie's back again, which looked a little glum…

"What's wrong with you, Venom, you look down…" Carrie said in concern.

"You're not still upset about all that's happened since you bonded with Carrie, are you?" Sue asked in concern also.

"No, it's about when I first came to earth, you know that me and another Symbiote escaped captivity? Well that Symbiote was the one who has been a hateful bully to me back on Klyntar, it goes by the name: RIOT…" Venom replied with fear.

"Riot… What does he, or she look like?" Carrie asked with worry about her other…

"Riot is an ugly silver grey Klyntar, who is way stronger, and has a shit-ton of bladed weapons, mainly because Riot is an invasion team leader… I never wanted to say now, because I didn't want to ruin your Prom Night, or make you feel worried or nervous…" Venom replied again with fear & worry.

"We understand Venom, Tell you what, let's enjoy tonight, then we'll focus on Riot tomorrow…I hardly think Riot will be interested in a human prom night…" Sue replied, as she and Carrie cheerfully calm down and relax…

"That's what I'm afraid of…" Venom said nervously, before retracting into Carrie's body again, just as they heard a car toot, as their limousine pulled up to the house…

(30 minutes later, at the school…)

Carrie & Sue's limo pulled up outside the school gym entrance, as the couple got out of the limo. Carrie was nervous, but with a little confidence talk with Sue & Venom, Carrie was much better, as the two girls walked into the School gym. Inside, the gym was beautifully decorated with shining and glittering stars, all across the gym, right up to the stage where there was also a lit up Half moon, along with 2 throne themed chairs for the kings & queens of the prom, it also had beautifully dressed table and chairs, all the way up to the dance floor, where all the student and some of the teachers, including Miss Desjardin, were dancing to pop and dance music, being DJ'ed by Tina, as Tina noticed Carrie & Sue walk in, causing Tina's eyes turned white for a second, as Riot within could see their targets arrive, as well as all the other bullies, including Chris, who was secretly hiding above the stage lights, ready with the prank…

"Hey, you're looking pretty you two sweethearts." Tommy joked as he, Heather, George Dawson & Erika Gogan greeted Carrie & Sue.

"Hi Guys." Sue replied, as she introduced them & Carrie to each other.

Tommy and his friends then showed Carrie and Sue to their table, while heather took this opportunity to apologize to Carrie for bullying her along with Chris and the others, after seeing some sense from Tommy, Erika was so impressed with Carrie's prom Dress, she asked where she got it. Carrie simply explained she got it from where Sue got her's but made some modifications.

Carrie sat by Sue, with Tommy and everyone at a Table not too far from the dance floor as Speakers, especially after learning from her experience of one of Venom's weaknesses…

"Hmmm… It is peaceful in here… I'm actually liking all this…" Venom said with a calm sigh.

"Glad to hear…" Carrie whispered, causing Sue to notice.

"What?" Sue asked calmly in concern, before realising Carrie was talking to Venom. "Don't talk to loud Carrie, you gotta keep Venom a secret…"

"Carrie, Sue, is everything ok?" Tommy asked.

"Sure, everything's fine Tommy." Sue replied reassuringly.

"Hey Carrie, I know we shouldn't ask now, but… what was that chocolate ravaging at lunch about the other day?" George asked.

Carrie and Sue looked at each other, before agreeing & deciding to open up about it all, secretly…

"You guys have to promise not to tell or talk about this to anyone other than Miss Desjardin, she knows why as well… The reasons for Sue finding me unconscious, and my funny behaviours from a week ago up to today, is because… I've become a host…" Carrie said nervously but quietly to everyone…

"A Host? To what exactly?" Heather asked in concern.

"I have a symbiotic alien living within my whole body, I know it sounds absolute bat crazy, but it's true…" Carrie continued.

"An actual alien?!" Heather gasped, nearly out loud.

"Shhhhhh!" Sue shushed heather.

"Sorry." Heather apologized.

Everyone was in slight shock, as Carrie and Sue continued to explain about Venom, living within Carrie, reassuring them everything was ok. Too their surprise when all was explained, Tommy, Heather, George and Erika weren't too shocked, and believed Carrie and Sue about Venom, and the Symbiotes that were brought to earth on the crashed L.I.F.E Foundation Rocket, and thought that as Carrie was carrying one of them, it was unbelievably awesome to them, even when Miss Desjardin came over and they all shared this info about Carrie secretly, unaware that Tina & Riot were secretly listening from the speakers…

(10 minutes later…)

"Hey Carrie, there's a slow song playing, shall we dance?" Sue asked in a flirty attitude.

"Go on Carrie, this would be good for all of us…" Venom said with influence to her host.

"Sure Sue." Carrie replied, as she took her date's hand, and the two made it to the dance floor, and began slowly moving round and round to the music.

"Is this ok Carrie?" Sue asked.

"Yeah, this is great Sue." Carrie replied, leaning her head into Sue's chest.

"Aww, this is all so nice for us." Venom said with awe.

As everyone on the dance floor, Tina had an idea of sabotage… knowing that Carrie wouldn't dance to any other music, so when the music finished… she played some heavily fast Spanish Salsa Tango Flamenco music.

As Carrie and Sue were about to leave the floor along with the others on the dance floor, knowing that neither of them thought they could dance to this music, Carrie didn't move, she felt she lost control of her body…

"Carrie? What's wrong?" Sue asked as she tried to pull Carrie, only for Carrie to pull Sue back and catch her in left arm, almost laying her down, Sue was shocked at what Carrie was doing…

"I'm not doing this…" Carrie whispered to Sue…

"You two want to dance? Let's dance ladies." Venom chuckled, as she caused Carrie to pull Sue back up, and two started to dance like a professional flamenco dance couple, as they gave into the dancing, and went along with the music, enjoying it, causing everyone to see this, and began standing up and gathering round to see what was going on the dance floor.

Everyone couldn't believe their eyes, to see how well Carrie & Sue were dancing together, even Tommy, Heather, George, Erika, even Miss Desjardin couldn't believe what they were seeing. Some students started taking photos and recording videos on their phones and cameras, while the cheered them on.

Chris from above, & Tina & Riot from down below, were totally disapproving of this, but they all knew that this would work much better, for part of their prank plan…

(2 minutes of dancing later…)

When the music finished, everyone cheered and clapped as Carrie and Sue finished their dance, and bowed to the cheering audience.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I know it's early, & we haven't taken a Vote, But I think we have just found our official Queens of the Prom, Once again, I give you all our winners: Carrie White & Susan Snell." Principal Morton announced on stage, as everyone cheered and clapped again, even Carrie and Sue gasped and hugged each other in happiness and surprise…

"Thanks Venom." Carrie whispered, as Sue heard and was grateful too.

"You are both welcome." Venom replied.
