Woah! It's my birthday! LOL. Since it's my birthday, would you mind dropping a review? That would be the greatest gift. Thanks. By the way, I disclaim.

XOXOXOXOXO

Amy sat alone in a table. John was somewhere with his friends and Lilian was busy talking to Torrie, Trish, Shane and Marissa. She gazed at the people around her, watching as couples danced with the music. She never wished that someone would ask her to dance but somehow, she would love to dance. She heard someone fake a cough.

"May I have this dance, my lady?" she looked up and saw Shawn. She quickly turned away, not wanting anything to do with the guy who previously spilled milk all over her.

"I'm not really into a dancing mood right now," Amy replied.

"You know you'd love to dance," Shawn said teasingly. Deep inside, a part of Amy wants to dance, but not with Shawn.

"Let me tell you something, mister," Amy stood up. "You don't just spill milk and ask someone to dance with you. Got it?"

Shawn smiled. "No."

Amy bit her lip, feeling irritable with the situation.

"Okay maybe we started off with the wrong foot," Shawn extended a hand. "I'm Shawn."

Amy just gazed at his hand. John arrived at the table and saw the two. "It's a good thing you now have some friends aside from Lilian, Trish, Torrie and Steph." He stared at Shawn, "I don't trust him."

As soon as John left, Amy took a deep breath. "I'm Amy." She shook his hand.

"I don't get it," Shawn said. "Your cousin just told you that he doesn't trust me and now you're being nice to me."

Amy smiled. "My cousin is not the biggest genius. I know you vandalized his car but that doesn't have anything to do with me. His problem is not my problem."

"Shall we dance then?" Shawn asked as she took Amy's hand. They danced into the music just as other couples were. Starting a new found friendship.

XOXOXOXOXO

"How about that vampire?" Torrie pointed at the guy wearing a vampire costume.

"Ugh, Torrie," Lilian protested. "We wouldn't want our princess to dance with a vampire, would we?"

"That would be unusual," Trish commented.

"How about that sailor?" Marissa pointed at a certain guy.

"He's too short for Steph," Shane commented.

"Well who do you want?" Torrie was starting to panic, the night was about to conclude.

"We need someone that would shock the guests," said Lilian. "And most especially, leave Kurt dumfounded."

"Yeah," Marissa said. "That's kind of the whole point in this plan."

Trish kept on looking around. "But who would it be?"

"Does my mom know about this?" Shane asked feeling worried about what his mother's reaction would be.

"No," Torrie said. "But she would like it. It's a one-of-a-kind idea."

"Not really," Trish said. "This idea is for Steph to get out if Kurt's wrath."

They all laughed, still looking around for the right guy wearing the right costume. Then they spotted a certain guy. He's not really an ideal guy but enough to drive Kurt out of his mind.

XOXOXOXOXO

"Mrs. McMahon, we really need to pull off this surprise for Steph," Torrie pleaded. "She will surely love this. Please let us pull this off."

Linda looked at Shane. "Mom, don't worry. We're not going to do something stupid. At least not on Stephanie's birthday."

Linda thought for a while. "Are you sure you will not hurt anyone?" No fireworks or firecrackers of any kind?"

We're just gonna hurt Kurt, they all thought. "Positive Mrs. McMahon," they all replied.

XOXOXOXOXO

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is now time for the most exciting part of this evening," said Lilian on the microphone. She can really handle a microphone, not just on parties, but everywhere. "In just a few minutes, Stephanie's spotlight dance will start and she'll dance with the chosen best in costume for tonight."

"What the fuck is she saying?" Kurt blurted out to Shane who held him back and together with John and Randy, dragged him away. "I'm supposed to be with Steph! She's supposed to dance with me! I'm her fucking escort!"

Trish smiled as she held out a duct tape. "She doesn't need an escort, in case you don't know."

Lilian continued. "So, among many guys present here tonight, the lucky guy is the one wearing a… Pirate costume!"

Shawn slapped Hunter's arm real hard. "You just scored a rich bitch man!"

Everyone was clapping. Stephanie was at last smiling. What others didn't know was that he's the biggest rebel in school and that he can never be with a princess.

Stephanie smiled to her friends. "Whose idea was that?"

They just replied a smile. "We just want you to be happy on your birthday."

Stephanie hugged them each so tight. "I love you guys. I don't know what I'd do without you."

The music started to play and the spotlight was on them. "I never knew that the spotlight could be so hot," Hunter said as droplets of sweat were forming in his forehead.

Some day, when I'm awfully low,
When the world is cold,

"You have no idea how horrible my night was with Kurt," Stephanie said as they swayed to the music. "It was the most horrible thing. It's a good thing my friends love me."

I will feel a glow just thinking of you...
And the way you look tonight.

"Well I was looking at you the whole evening," Hunter said.

"Oh, stalker!" Stephanie joked.

"I'm not," Hunter defended himself. "You're the birthday celebrant and your'e the most beautiful girl here."

Stephanie giggled as she melted in his stare.

Oh but you're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheek so soft,
There is nothing for me but to love you,
And the way you look tonight.
With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fear apart...
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
Touches my foolish heart.
Lovely ... Never, ever change.
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it?
'Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight.

When the song ended, their time together also ended. But instead of letting go of Stephanie, Hunter pulled him closer slowly. "I need to say something to you."

Stephanie looked into his eyes. "What?"

"Happy birthday," Hunter saw Stephanie's smile and gathered up his strenghth. "And I'm in love with you Steph."

Stephanie just heard the biggest words in her entire life which left her dumbfounded.

XOXOXOXOXO
