A/N: Thanks to everyone! You'll love this chapter! I wasn't going to post because I had a super busy day, I had to get up at 6 and just got home at 7 for the Science Olympiad Regional Competition, which if you're not from America is a national science competition where there are I think 15-20 events ranging from anatomy, to astronomy, to engineering, to glacial movements. This was my first year doing it and I'm in an awesome mood because I metaled in both of my events, 4th and 6th out of everyone in the county (not country, I'm not that good). So because of my awesome mood, you get an awesome chapter!

Chapter 21

"So prom is next week." Justine said. June groaned.

"Don't remind me." June complained.

"Don't you want to go?" Justine asked.

"I don't know. No one I like has asked me." June said.

"So James didn't ask." Justine said. June glared at her.

"Shut up." June growled.

"Come on, just go. Aren't Camille or Jo going? Or the rest of the boys?" Justine asked.

"Camille is going with Steve or something, Jo is grounded because her and Kendall stayed out 2 hours past her curfew the other day, I heard that Carlos is going to ask one of the Jennifers and the I don't know about Logan and James." June said and pushed her head back into her pillow.

"Okay, if you're going to be in a bad mood, then can you leave? Go get the mail or smoothies or something." Justine said. June sighed.

"What kind of smoothie do you want?" June asked.

"Peach Mango." Justine said. June grabbed her bag and went downstairs to the smoothie stand.

"What can I get for you?" The hot smoothie guy asked, not that June noticed. A date to prom. She responded mentally.

"A peach mango smoothie and a strawberry orange smoothie." June said. She paid for the smoothies and waited for the man to make them.

"Hey June." June turned around to see James.

"Hi." June said.

"So I was wondering if you-" James started.

"James I get it, I know that when your mom came, you were just pretending and we're not going out and you don't want to and all that. I get it." June said.

"No I-"

"It's fine James." June said. She grabbed the smoothies and went back up to the room.

"I swear Justine, stop telling me to leave. Every time I do, something bad happens." June said as she handed her sister the smoothie. She explained what happened to her sister and Justine sighed.

"You know he may have been trying to ask you to prom." Justine said. June scoffed.

"Yeah right."

"So what did she say?" Kendall asked James when he came back up to the apartment.

"Well I tried to ask her, but she thought I was going to say that I didn't want to go out with her, and then she said that she was fine with it and bolted out of there." James sighed as he sat down on the couch.

"Well I guess you'll have to try something else to get June to go to prom with you." Kendall said as he sat next to him.

"What are you going to do about Jo?" James asked.

"I'm working on it. I'll help you if you help me." Kendall said.

"Deal." James said and shook his hand.

June walked over to her table by the pool. Justine took her key today and wouldn't let her in to the apartment, but she wouldn't say why. June looked at the table and saw a little pink sticky note on it. She set down her bag and looked at it.

"Open the umbrella." June read. She opened the umbrella and another note fell out. She picked it up.

"Look up and to your right. Love James." June read. She did as the note said and gasped and covered her mouth. Above the doors to the pool was a big sign. It was a big piece of white paper that had cut out letters in yellow, green, and blue, June's favorite colors, and was outlined in white roses, June's favorite flower.

"June, Will you go to the prom with me?" June read. James came up behind her.

"Will you?" James asked. June looked at him and back at the sign.

"How- what- uh-" June stuttered. She took a deep breath, pushing away all the questions she had to answer his, and turned fully to James, who looked like he was about to die of nervousness.

"Of course." June said and hugged him. "How and why did you do all this?"

"Well I tried to ask you yesterday, but you kept interrupting me and practically ran out of there, so Kendall helped me with this." James said. June smiled sheepishly.

"Well I love it." June said. She just kept her head against his chest, feeling happy with his arms around her.

"I'm happy you do. It took forever to make." James said. June laughed.

"I'm surprised you remembered my favorite colors and flower." June said.

"That's not something I would forget." James said. June pulled back and looked at him. It was like, although there were nearly 3 years since they had been in this kind of position, nothing had changed. It was like when they broke up, their relationship was put on pause. It was the beginning of a book that had never been finished. June pulled his head down and kissed him. A simple, sweet, electrifying, comfortable, happy kiss. She lingered only a few moments before pulling away.

"Does this have anything to do with why Justine took my key and why she was so happy this morning?" June asked. James smiled sheepishly.

"Uh yeah, you're always in there and I need to make sure that you saw." James said.

"Sorry, I've kinda been avoiding everyone." June said.

"Why?" James asked.

"I kinda thought that you hated me." June said. James lifted her chin up to face you.

"I never have, nor will I ever hate you." James said and he leaned forward and kissed her again, his lips perfectly fitting hers as they both remembered. James pulled away first this time. He took June's left hand in his and weaved their fingers together.

"You know how we started our relationship at the homecoming dance in freshman year?" James asked as he looked at their hands. June smiled and nodded. "I'm starting to think dances make everything work with us." He looked back at her eyes. "So if we fix our relationship at prom, everything is going to work, okay?"

"That sounds perfect." June said and leaned up and kissed him again. It was like everything was falling into place. They were picking book back up and re-writing the ending.

June and Camille got ready for the prom together. Jo would have joined them, but she was grounded and she had to sneak out to go to the prom, so she wasn't able to come. But the girls did pick out her dress for her. It was gold and shimmery and fit Jo's bright personality perfectly.

June and Camille got their dresses together and got their hair and nails done together the day of the dance. They both went to June's apartment to get ready.

June was wearing a red lace dress that flowed out at the waist. It covered her whole chest, but the back was open. She was wearing red peep toe pumps. She had simple smokey eye make-up with red lipstick. She had got her nails done red to match her dress and shoes. She was originally going to put her hair up, but James told her to keep it down because he likes to play with it. Such a boy. So instead she had it curled and the hair stylist put in a waterfall like braid. (www . polyvore dot com / cgi/set?id=57546546)

"You look so good June!" Justine said and gave her sister a big hug.

"Thanks." June said.

"I remember my prom. We were still in Minnesota and it was freezing, and I went with Seth Warner." Justine said.

"Really? Wasn't he like the captain of the football team?" June asked.

"Yeah. It was actually really fun. I wanted to go with my friend Jack, but he asked Cindy, so I went with Seth to make him jealous and then Seth and I ended up dating until we moved away." Justine sighed happily. June laughed.

"Well I hope mine turns out as good as yours." June said. She turned to Camille who just walked out of her room.

"Oh my gosh you look so good Cami!" June said and hugged her friend.

"Thanks! You look hot, James is going to go crazy." Camille said. June blushed.

"Ha. Ha. What about Logan and you?" June said.

"I'm going with Steve, so we'll see what Logan does." Camille said. June sighed.

"I wish you were coming with us in the limo. And I wish Jo was here." June said.

"Well Jo will be in the limo with you and you have the guys." Camille said. "And I'll see you at the dance."

"Okay fine. Well I guess it's time we go our separate ways. I'll see you there." June said. The girls hugged and Camille went back to her apartment, where Steve was going to pick her up. June walked down the hall to meet the boys in their room, Mama Knight wanted to take pictures. June knocked on the door. Mama Knight opened the door.

"Oh my gosh June! You look so good!" Mama Knight said. "I can't wait for when Katie gets to go to prom and I can dress her up."

"Thank you! You should have came with us today! Oh well, we'll do a spy day sometime." June said.

"Oh that sound great." Mama Knight said. "I could use a break from the boys." June laughed.

"I think we all could." June said.

"Let me go get James." Mama Knight said and she disappeared, a couple seconds later, James popped out. His jaw dropped.

"Oh my gosh, June you look amazing. You, you look so good." James said as he walked up to her.

"Thank you. You look pretty good yourself." June said. "It was between this dress and a strapless gray lace dress, but I figured you'd like the red dress with the open back better." June said as she turned around to show him the whole thing. When she turned back around James put his hands on her waist and pulled her closer.

"You were defiantly right." James said before he closed the space between their lips. He pulled away.

"You know exactly what you do to me, and how to do it, don't you?" James asked. June smiled and nodded.

"I know you pretty well James." June said before she kissed him again. She pulled away.

"You know, it took me a long time to find these shoes. I had to find shoes that were just tall enough, not to short, but not so I was as tall as you, I know you like to be the tallest." June said. James held her hands and looked down at her feet.

"Again, nice choice." James said as he kissed her.

"And my hair is down, just like you asked." June said. James kissed her again on the lips and then kissed her neck, his head buried in her hair.

"I defiantly like that. Your hair smells good." James said into her neck.

"Thanks, mandarin mango. Your hair smells good too. I see your still using the Cuda products." June said. James pulled away.

"Well of course I am, it's my thing." James said.

"Well keep doing it, it works." June said. James smiled and kissed her again.

"Oh, sorry about the red lipstick that is getting all over your lips." June said with a smile. James groaned and wiped it off. June picked up her purse that she set on the table when she came in. She reached in and got her lipstick and walked over to the mirror and reapplied. Logan walked out, followed by Carlos and Kendall.

"Is it safe to come out? Are you two done making out?" Logan asked.

"We were not making out, and don't be bitter just because you didn't ask anyone." James said. June turned to Logan.

"Why didn't you ask anyone?" June asked as she put her lipstick away.

"Because I was going to ask Camille, but Steve asked her. I'm going to make sure that Camille and Steve don't win Prom King and Queen." Logan said. June scoffed.

"You don't have to worry about that. James and I have that in the bag." June said as her and James high fived without turning from Logan.

"Uh no, Jo and I are going to win. We are the long time couple. Everyone knows us as the cutest couple at the Palmwoods." Kendall said.

"No. Jennifer and I are going to win. We're the underdogs." Carlos said.

"No. June and I are going to win because everyone has been saying that we need to get together since we moved here. Everyone talks about us and has heard us either yelling at each other, or confessing our love. We are a show." James said. Him and June high fived again. "Everyone loves the drama couple."

Mama Knight then came out with a camera. "Kendall, go get Jo, and Carlos go get Jennifer, and come back so I can take pictures." The boys nodded and left. Mama Knight turned to James and June.

"Okay Brooke wants pictures and lots of them." Mama Knight said. James groaned. June laughed. She turned to James and put her hands on his chest.

"It will be fine. It's a couple pictures." June said. June leaned up and kissed him and James placed his hands on June's waist. Mama Knight took a picture, but James and June didn't notice. They pulled away with their signature smiles that made all the boys and girls go crazy. Mama Knight took another picture.

"Okay pose." She said. James wrapped his arm around her waist. June put her hand on her hip and they smiled big. Mama Knight took the picture. She had them do a couple other poses and was almost in tears. She let them go when Kendall got back with Jo.

"I'm actually really excited for this." June said. James nodded.

"I know. Dances are a good starting point." James said. He reached his hand up to her cheek. "I really love you June."

"I love you too James." June said. She leaned up and kissed him passionately. She pulled away before it got too heated. She wiped the lipstick off his face and reapplied hers.

"So where is the dance?" June asked.

"Rocque Records. Gustavo is actually like running it with Kelly." James said.

"Wow." June said.

"I know." James said.

"Okay. Let's go the limo is waiting." Kendall said. June looked over and saw that Carlos and Jennifer had arrived. Jennifer had quite an interesting outfit.

"Oh hey Jennifer, you look… different." June settled with.

"Thank you June! You look good too." Jennifer said and turned back to Carlos. June looked up at James, who just shrugged. They all headed out of the building and down to the limo. June hugged Jo.

"You look awesome." June said.

"So do you!" Jo said. "I wish I could have came with you and Camille today."

"I know me too. I'm just happy that you could come." June said. Jo glanced over at Kendall with a big smile.

"So am I." Jo said. The got to the dance quickly. June and James got out together and walked into the building. She glanced around at the couples and at the décor.

"Wow, Gustavo did a good job." June said.

"I think you mean Kelly." James said. June laughed.

"Oh I love this song!" June said as Titanium by David Guetta and Sia. "Let's dance."

"Okay." James said as he took her hand and they walked to the dance floor. They started to dance.

"I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose. Fire away, fire away. Ricochet, you take your aim. Fire away, fire away. You shoot me down but I won't fall. I am titanium. You shoot me down but I won't fall. I am titanium." June sang along. James stopped and stared at her in shock. June stopped.

"What?" June asked.

"You are an amazing singer." James said. "That's a hard song to sing." June shrugged.

"I guess I am then. Stone-hard, machine gun. Firing at the ones who run. Stone-hard as bulletproof glass." June belted out, it was loud in the dance, so it wasn't like anyone could really hear. "I just like to sing."

"You're so good. Why don't you sing on your own?" James asked. June shrugged.

"I don't really want all the fame and stuff. I just like writing for Justine and singing whenever I want." June said.

"Well you should sing for me more often, I love your voice." James said. June smiled.

"I'll sing for you, if you sing for me." June said. James smiled.

"Deal." He said and leaned in and gave her a kiss.

"We should get our picture taken." June said.

"But we got all those ones that Mama Knight took." James said.

"But I want one with a real background." June said. She put out on the puppy dog pout. "Please James."

"Oh god, you're still really good at that. Fine lets go." James said. June slipped her hand through his and leaned up and gave him a kiss.

"Thanks." June and James walked over and James wrapped his arms around June's waist. They both smiled at the camera, which was oddly being operated by Gustavo. Kelly awed.

"You too are so cute. Don't tell anyone, but I hope that you get Prom Queen and King." Kelly said.

"So do we." June and James said in unison. June leaned up and gave him a quick kiss on the lips. They walked over to the booth where people were voting for Prom Queen and King. Jo was looking around nervously and Kendall was next to her.

"Hey guys." June said. "What's the matter?"

"Jo is nervous and thinks that her dad is going to show up and take her away." Kendall said. June bent over and wrote down Kendall and Jo's name on the slip and put it in the box.

"Thought I would give you at least one vote." June said and high fived James. June and James then walked back on to the dance floor. They started to dance to all the up beat songs, all the slow songs, taking breaks for drinks every once in a while. They walked around and mingled, saw Carlos running away from the Jennifers.

"Alright it is time to announce your prom king and queen!" Gustavo said into the mic. They saw Kelly whisper something to Gustavo and then they saw Kendall being carried away by big scary men and Jo following behind with her dad. June looked up at James who just shrugged.

"Um anyway, the couple that has won Prom King and Queen are… James Diamond and June Cooper!" Gustavo said. Everyone cheered and June turned to James and hugged him. James spun her around.

"And now for the spotlight dance." Gustavo said. "I Won't Give Up" by Jason Mraz started to play. June put her hands on James' neck and James wrapped his arms around her waist. June rested her head on his chest and they gently swayed to the beat.

"I guess you were right, you're not my princess." James said. June pulled back a little to look at him.

"What do you mean?" June asked, confused.

"In your song, White Horse, you said that you weren't my princess, and this wasn't a fairy tale. Well you're more of my queen then a princess." James said. June laughed and leaned her head against his chest again.

"And we're not in a small town anymore, we're in Hollywood." James said. June looked back at him.

"Well then I guess it's never too late for you and your white horse." June said and looked at him with a big cheesy grin, which James was wearing too, unable to wipe it off his face. She leaned up and kissed him.

"So will you be my girlfriend, for real?" James asked when she pulled away. June smiled.

"Yes." June said and kissed him again. She pulled away and rested her head in his shoulder. James buried his head in her hair.

"I love you James." June said into his neck.

"I love you too June." James said into her hair. They stood their swaying to the music until the song changed, and even then they continued to sway at the same tempo. It was perfect. So perfect, that June forgot about the letter she got last week, still sitting in her purse.
