A/N: The story picks up when Josh and Donna are getting ready for prom.
"It is now noon and all seniors that have signed the permission slips may now leave." The Principle says over the loudspeaker. I grab my things and get the hell out of Dodge. Josh said to meet by his locker since he's closer to the car. After a quick stop by my locker I head over to his, to find him leaning against it talking to girl I never met before.
"Hey babe." I greet him with a kiss on the cheek.
"Hey!" He puts his arm around my waist giving me a kiss on my cheek.
I hear the girl give a fake cough to get Josh's attention.
"Oh yeah Donna I want you to meet Amy Gardner she's new. Amy this is my Girlfriend Donna Moss." Amy eyes me sizing me up as I do the same to her.
"Nice to meet you Amy." I smile politely at her.
"Yeah you to. I guess I'll see you Monday Josh." She puts her hand on his arm giving a squeeze before leaving.
"See ya Amy."
Josh and I walk to his car with me thinking about Amy and want she wants with Josh.
"I'll see in a few hours beautiful."
"See ya Handsome." I give him a long kiss before exiting the car and walking into my house.
I go up to my room to find that my dress is hanging on the door and my mom getting my things ready.
"Mom what are you doing?" I startled her out of her world and made her head snap up.
"I'm just getting your things set up so we don't have to rush later on." She says as she finishes putting my shoes out.
"Do you realize that we have like four hours." I walk out my room and into the kitchen with my mom following me.
"I know but you have to go to the hair dressers at one thirty, then we have to go to get your nails done. By the time you get home it's around three, three thirty. You have to get dressed and put your make up on in and hour. We have to get your pictures done, that we put you around five. The prom itself is at six and by the time the limo picks you and Josh and your friends it will be six just in time for the party. So as you see we have to hurry. I will make you lunch and we will be on our way." She walks away with me stuck in place of awe. I really didn't realize just how much goes into things like this.
"Um yeah." I walk into the kitchen in a daze.
(Two hours later)
"Are we done yet?" I hate people touching my feet and with a pedicure, well you can see why I am not having the best time.
"Honey just bare it's almost done. Just think how Josh will look when he sees you."
"Josh doesn't care if I'm having a bad hair day, with no make-up, and with pajamas on. He thinks I am beautiful. I don't need this stuff." I pout at mom trying to get this done faster.
The helper finishes with my feet and dries them, after he is finished I quickly put on my flip flops and jump out of the chair.
"Can we go now?" I whine to mom knowing that by now she must be getting annoyed. When the lady did my hair she kept pulling to make it tight and I was getting bored just sitting there for forty minutes. So I whined to mom then to and she told me to grow up.
"Yes. Here take my keys so you can sit in the car while I pay for your things." She walks over to the counter and waits in line.
This day is never going to end, I hate getting my nails done because I am not used to my nails being long. I keep them short and put nail polish on them. While I'm not a girly girl I do like to look nice.
Mom gets into the car and sighs. I feel bad I have been a brat today, I know mom is just making sure that today is special.
"I'm sorry Mom."
"It's okay I know I am pushing you to do things that you don't like." She pulls out the parking lot.
"No mom you are making today special and I am just being a brat. So thank you mom really, thank you." I hug her at a stop light.
"I love you baby girl."
"Love you too mom."
We spend the rest of the ride home in a comfortable silence me wanting to see Josh already, he has it so easy.
(5:00 P.M.)
"Donna, Josh is here are you ready yet?" My dad yells up the stairs.
"I'll keep your father away from Josh and you finish up. Okay?" Mom says backing up out of the bathroom and into the stairway.
I look into the mirror, put on my lip gloss and pick up my purse. I take a deep breath and head down the stairs.
I hear mom telling dad to leave Josh alone as I catch sight of Josh in is tuxedo. It's black suit with a white shirt and his tie and vest matching the color of my navy blue dress. God does he look hot and he got a haircut seems like he's dressing to impress.
"There she is, my little girl." Dad says snapping me out of my daze.
"Dad I am not a little girl. I am a woman remember that." I say reaching the end of the stair I look at Josh and his mouth his dropped and eyes wide. I walk over to him and put my finger to his chin to close his mouth.
"Are you alright Josh?" I say trying to hold back on the laughter.
"Wow, you look amazing." He says in an awe whisper.
"You don't look back yourself there handsome." I give a peck on the cheek before my parents break up our conversation to take pictures.
"Come on outside guys." Josh takes my hand following my parents out the front door. As we get outside I see Ruth and Noah standing on the grass.
"Well, well don't you look beautiful?" Noah says giving me a hello kiss on the cheek.
"I have a question for you." Noah asks me as we walk to where Ruth and mom want to take pictures at.
"What?"
"Why in God's name did you pick Josh?" He asks in a joking manner.
"I have no clue Noah." We both laugh at the joke as Josh says.
"DAD! God you are like a five year old." This only makes us laugh harder.
"Come on Handsome lets get the pictures over with." I grab his hand and pull next to me under the tree.
"Okay guys I want Josh behind you with arms around you." Ruth tells us as she gets ready to take the pictures.
"I think I can handle that." Josh jokes around as he does what his mom asks of him. When he puts arms around me I lean back and look into his eyes while putting my hands over his. That's when I see the flash. This is going to be a long night and I cannot wait.
