Hi loves! I'm back! I have a new one-shot for you all! I really hope that you enjoy this! This came about because I have Prom tonight! I'm so freaking excited! I'm going with my best friend, he's super sweet and we have so much fun together! So, yeah, I'm really excited!
Now, enough about me, time for the story!
"Did you guys see the posters they just hung up around school?" Kacey Simon, lead singer of Gravity 5, says excitedly as she enters the band room. The other four members look up at her from what they had been doing and just stare at her. Kevin and Nelson put down the catalog of Furious Pigeons merchandise they had been looking through, and Stevie and Zander stop their very intense game of thumb wrestling.
"What are you talking about Kacey?" Nelson asks with a confused look on his face.
Kacey sighs in frustration and then looks at all of them, "The posters. The ones that were just hung up right before lunch during third period."
"Still don't know what you're talking about," Kevin says, shaking his head. Kacey rolls her eyes and then sits down on one of the arm chairs, "Prom posters. Senior Prom is coming up. In one month."
"And?" Stevie says, not quite getting the point.
"And, we are all going. We might even get to play the dance too!"
"Yeah, um, no." Stevie says bluntly.
"What do you mean no?"
"I mean no. As in I'm not going to the dance."
"Why would you not go to the dance?" Kacey shrieks, "This is going to be the biggest night of our high school lives!"
"I don't want to go to the dance. And I don't really care," Stevie stands up from the couch and grabs her backpack, swinging it onto her shoulder, "Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go and do something that doesn't involve prom." She gives everyone a final look and then exits the room, shutting the door closed behind her.
"Well," Kacey says in shock, "she's going to the dance. I'm gonna make sure of it." She then stands up from her chair, walking towards the door and out the room as well, a plan already forming in her mind. As for Zander, he grows a smile on his face, thinking of a special plan, better than anything Kacey could come up with, in order to get Stevie to go to the dance. He stands up from the couch, grabs his bag and ukulele case, and rushes out the band room door, ready to put his plan into action.
A week later, all of the student body of Brewster High gathers in the courtyard, as any normal day during lunch. Except for this time, the stage is set up, instruments sitting on it as well.
"What is this?" Kacey asks Stevie as the two walk into the courtyard, and set their bags down on Gravity 5's table.
"I have no idea," Stevie says, "I haven't heard anything about a concert. And I don't think that Gravity 5 was scheduled to perform any time soon."
"I guess we'll find out soon then," Kacey shrugs, going to stand in the lunch line, Stevie right on her heels.
"I guess so."
As Stevie and Kacey sit down at their table, they hear cheering and screaming all around them. They both look up to see Zander, Kevin and Nelson walk out onto the stage. "Hey everyone," Zander says, as he steps up to the mic, "how you all doing today?" Everyone cheers again. "That's great. Now, as you all know, there is a very special event coming up in a couple weeks, and I want to ask a very special girl, a very special question." There is murmuring in the crowd as the many fan girls in the audience whisper about who the mystery girl must be. "So, I wrote a song for this girl, and after I finish, this girl will be revealed. So here it is, This Smiles For You." He picks up his guitar off of its stand and then signals to Kevin and Nelson to begin playing.
Oh you're on me, like a remedy
You're my melody, when you walk with me
You're my best friend
You're my best friend in this world.
When I call your name and I see your face
Yeah you save the day, all the clouds erase
You come and sit next to me, to me
Yes you are my number one girl
And when I look in your eyes
I know what's on your mind
You don't have to say a thing
You don't have to say a thing
Girl it's here in my heart I can feel we got something
When I'm feeling low you come running to
This smiles for you
Every second of the day I'm just thinking of you baby
You're more than a friend you're my lady too
This smiles for you
This smiles for you
Always listening to my every word
Feels so comforting,
to know that you heard
I'm so happy we can always be ourselves
around each other
And when I look in your eyes
I know what's on your mind
You don't have to say a thing
You don't have to say a thing
Girl it's here in my heart I can feel we got something
When I'm feeling low you come running to
This smiles for you
Every second of the day I'm just thinking of you baby
You're more than a friend
You're my lady too
And this smiles for you
And this smiles for you
Girl it's here in my heart i can feel we got something
When i'm feeling low you come running to
This smiles for you
Every second of the day I'm just thinking of you baby
You're more than a friend
You're my lady too
And this smiles for you
And this smiles for you
And this smiles for you
As Zander finishes the song, the crowd applauses and cheers for him. "Thank you, I'm glad you all enjoyed this song." He removes the guitar from his body and puts it back onto its stand. Removing the mic from its stand, he jumps down off f the stage and then makes his way through the courtyard, the crowd parting like the red sea. Once they are parted enough, he walks directly towards Gravity 5's table, to see Kacey and Stevie sitting there, just looking at him.
As he walks towards her, he speaks, "Stevie Baskara, you said last week, that you didn't want to go to the Prom. But you see, the thing is, no girl, not even Brewster High's resident bad girl, would ever say that they didn't want to go to their Senior Prom."
"I guess I'm just different." Stevie says to him, still sitting down.
"But that's just the thing," he says back, "You ARE different. Which is why, you are probably, the single most awesome girl here at this school. And you deserve to have the best Senior Prom ever."
Stevie blushes slightly at his remark and looks down, letting her hair fall down in front of her face. She looks back up at him, "You really think so?"
"I know so," he smiles. He reaches forward with one of his hands and grabs one of her hands in his, and pulls her up so that she is standing in front of him. "Now, Stevie Baskara, will you do me the honor, and be my date to the Senior Prom?"
After a beat, Stevie smiles at him, "I'd love to." Zander smiles back as the crowd cheers. Stevie reaches forward and engulfs Zander in a hug, wrapping her arms around his neck, while his go around her waist, returning the hug.
Music can be heard coming through the closed doors of the elegant ballroom where Prom was being held. Zander and Stevie approach the doors, having opted out of going in a group with Kacey, Kevin, Nelson, and Grace. "You ready?" Zander asks her.
"I guess so," Stevie replies, "Now let's do this."
Zander smiles and then grabs Stevie's hand in his, leading her towards the double doors. The open and the two can see the party in full swing. There is a DJ up on the stage at the front of the room, a snack table set up along one of the side walls, and a fairly large group of teenagers dancing in the middle of the floor.
Zander pulls Stevie through the doors and they make their way through the crowd, everyone stopping and staring at the two of them. Stevie is wearing a floor length, sky blue, spaghetti strap dress, with a pair of black heels. Her hair is curled up into a bun on top of her head, a few small pieces of her hair hanging down in front of her face. Zander is wearing a black tux, with a white dress shirt, and a blue tie to match Stevie's dress.
Kacey sees the two of them and rushes up to them, dragging Kevin along with her. Nelson and Grace follow behind them. "Oh my gosh Stevie!" Kacey exclaims, "You look absolutely amazing!"
"I told her the same thing earlier," Zander says, looking at Stevie, "but someone didn't want to believe me."
"Whatever," Stevie says back, "let's just go dance. Please?"
"Okay, okay," Zander turns back to Kacey, "I guess we're gonna go and dance now. So bye." Stevie drags Zander by the hand, pulling him towards the dance floor.
A moment later, the music stops and the DJ's voice comes on over the speakers, "Alright everyone, time to slow things down a bit. So grab that special someone and hold them close. A slow song starts and before Stevie can move off of the dance floor, Zander gently grabs her arm so that she faces him, "Stevie Baskara, may I have this dance?" he bows his down in front of her, holding his hand out to her.
Stevie giggles slightly and accepts his hand, "I'd love to dance with you Zander."
He looks up at her and smiles, then stands up straight. He wraps his arms around her waist as hers go up around his neck. He pulls her close and she lays her head on his shoulder, enjoying the moment.
"Hey Steves," Zander says after a quiet moment between the two. Stevie makes a noise in acknowledgement, her eyes closed. "Can I ask you something?"
"Sure," she replies.
"How come you said you didn't want to come to Prom?"
Stevie pulls back and looks at him, "Cause I thought that the right guy wasn't going to ask me. So I figured that if this certain guy wasn't going to ask me then why should I even go and try to have a good time."
"And what made you change your mind?"
"The right guy asked me," she says quietly. He smiles at her response and she returns the smile.
"Great. Now that that is all straightened out, I have a question for you. Stevie Baskara, will you be my girlfriend?"
"Yes," she whispers. He smiles even wider than before and leans down, pressing his own lips to hers, closing the distance between them. "Thank you Z," she says against his lips.
He pulls back to look at her, "For what?"
She smiles, "For making this the best prom night ever."
So? Did you all enjoy it? I hope you did. Let me know your thoughts in a review below! Thanks! K bye!
