So days went by and Carrie was still in her training with Eda, despite how Lilith was keeping a lookout or the times Amity is bullying her, but it didn't stop her to continue, but she felt bad about not telling her mother about it, but then again, she might not say anything until she was ready to.
Carrie thought everything it's going to be alright, until one Wednesday day in the school's library.
Carrie was calming looking for more books about magic and psychic powers until someone came to her, it was Tommy, there has to be a reason why he was interested in the shy blonde girl.
"Hey, Carrie" Tommy said, "Hi" said Carrie in a very soft voice, "What are you reading" Tommy asked, "Books" said Carrie, "About what?" he asked again "Sewing" Carrie lied, "Sewing?, that's cool" Tommy believed, Carrie was wondering why the boy she has a crush on is talking to her.
"Hey, i gotta asked you something if you mind" said Tommy as he continued, "You know prom is coming soon, you know prom, it's next friday" but Carrie didn't say anything, "So i was wondering if you wanna come with me" said Tommy, then Carrie got a little shocked about that, she was too nervous about his question, without no other options, she said, "Sorry, i can't", then she ran away from Tommy as she could
"Carrie, wait!, don't leave", but Carrie was already gone.
Meanwhile. Miss Collins was on her way to the gym until she heard someone crying in the locker room.
When she went inside and she saw Carrie crying, Miss Collins was wondering what's going on?.
"Hey, Carrie" said Collins, but Carrie was really quiet. "Are you alright?" she asked, but Carrie didn't answer.
"Did one of the girls do something to you again?" Collins asked, "No" said Carrie with a soft and quiet voice.
"Then what's wrong, baby?" she asked once again, "I was asked to prom" said Carrie, "Oh woah, that's amazing!" Said Collins feeling proud of her, "Who are you going with?".
"Tommy Ross" said Carrie, "Tommy Ross?He's a nice guy and handsome," said Collins, "But I know who he's hanging out with" said Carrie, "Oh come on, I'm sure you have another chance," said Collins.
"No I won't" said Carrie, "Why not, Carrie" Collins asked, "I'm not pretty" said Carrie doubting of herself for her looks, "Sure you are" said Collins try to cheers her up and guiding her to a mirror in the wall, "Look, I see a pretty girl. With a little makeup and fixing that hair, see?, you are beautiful Carrie" then Carrie smiled at how much she would look if she actually would go to her first prom night.
Later after class, Carrie was back home, but she wasn't in a rush to go to the boiling isles, so she just relaxed in the living room and read some of her school books.
Meanwhile, a car was parked in front of the White Household, it was Tommy and Sue, but Tommy wasn't really ready for asking Carrie to prom without being rejected again.
"I don't know if I can't do it" said Tommy, "Of course you can Tommy" said Sue trying to encourage him.
"I know, but it's just. I gotta look stupid if she rejects me again" said Tommy having second thoughts, "No she won't" said Sue, "How do you know?" Tommy asked, "Because I already the way she looks at you" said Sue, "I just stay in the car, i know she'll say yes", So Tommy got out of the car and went to the front door while Sue stayed in the car and watched from a distance.
Carrie was still in the living room, she was quite reading until… she heard the front door knocking, so she went in there and opened it and Tommy was in the front, Carrie was surprised to see him again.
"Hey, Carrie", said Tommy, "Are you gotta invite me in?", "My- My mama is resting. What are you doing here?" Said Carrie as she asked.
"Making up your point, huh?" Said Tommy "Would you go to the prom with me?" Carrie was shocked as he asked her to go to senior prom "I already told you" said Carrie, "I know, but girls change their minds, they always do" said Tommy, "I can't" said Carrie whispering "What?" said Tommy, right before hearing a familiar voice from a distance.
"Carrie?, is everything okay?" Said Margaret, "It's okay mama!" Said Carrie and begged Tommy to leave "Please, you have to leave right now" "No until you say yes" said Tommy, "I can't" said Carrie getting on her nerves, "Tell me why?" Tommy asked, "I have other plans that night" said Carrie "Can you just do them some other time?" Said Tommy.
"Why are you doing this?" Carrie asked, "Because i thought your poem in class last week was cool" said Tommy "and i think you're cool too" Carrie thought he was tricking her, "Please stop tricking me" she said, "I'm not trying to trick you" said Tommy.
Carrie wasn't sure what to say but her mother would find out if she was talking to a boy "Carrie, whatever you're doing in there- " said Margaret until Carrie said "It's nothing mama" "Please, if she finds here with me-" "Just say yes and I'll leave" said Tommy and Carrie didn't have no choice, guess going to prom won't be so bad.
"Yes, I'll go with you" "Fine, I'll pick you up at 8:00" said Tommy as he was leaving, "Thank you" Carrie said with a soft voice, suddenly she put a smile on her face, she never been so happy to see she finally found the love of her life.
10 minutes later, Carrie teleports back to the owl house to tell the girls and king the great news.
"Luz, Eda, King!, I have something to tell you!" Carrie shouted as she came in the house, "Woah, Woah!, easy kid, what's up!" Eda asked as she stopped her, "I- I've been asked from prom!" said Carrie, "Oh my gosh!, that's amazing!" Said Luz, "And who's the lucky guy?" "I'm going with Tommy Ross" said Carrie, "But, I never been to a prom night before, I don't even know what to do" It was Carrie's first school dance and she really needed her 3 closer friends to give her a hand.
"Don't you worry about anything Care-Bear, we will help you out" said Luz, "But you need to learn 3 things before your human school dance" said Eda, "Really Eda?, you didn't even finished school" said King, "Come on, it'll be easy" said Eda ignoring King's sass.
"I know how prom goes, I need a dress, get along with the other teens and dance", said Carrie, "Yeah, but how about we can teach you any of them, so you can also have time for your training" said Luz.
Carrie thought about it for a while, and suddenly she accepted and she was sure with the help of her friends she would be ready for her big night.
