After arriving at the Sheraton hotel, the two couples headed straight for the photographers. First, each took their couple pictures then they took their group pictures. And after the pictures were done and over with, the four friends headed for the ballroom.

"Whoa, Hillridge really went all out for us." Gordo said as they entered the reserved hall

"Tell me about it." Miranda replied "So this is what they spend OUR money on." She let out a giggle

"Well- uh- while you and Gordo talk, you can find me and Ethan on the dance floor." Lizzie said, as she ans Ethan disappeared in the sea of Hillridge seniors and juniors.

"I really hope Ethan brushed up on his dance moves since 8th grade." Miranda said as she seated herself at a random table and looked aimlessly at the dancing couples, which Gordo noticed

"Miranda, do you wanna dance?" Gordo asked

"Gordo- you hate dancing." Miranda replied

"But you didn't come to your Senior Prom to just sit around. You came here to have fun, so lets dance." Miranda looked at him skeptically "Look- I'm willing to embaress myself for my best friends benefit... lets go dance." He said taking hold of her hand and leading her to the dance floor

It took a while for Miranda to ease up, but after a few old school songs, she was dancing the night away with Gordo. The two spent most of their time on the dance floor with the exception on getting drinks and talking with random people, but that was it. As hard as it may seem, Miranda almost forgot ever having feelings for Gordo... almost.

**WHEN THE ViSiONS AROUND YOU, BRiNG TEARS TO YOUR EYES...**

"Uh, y-you wanna s-sit down?" Miranda asked uncomfortably

"No, this is the first slow song they played- lets make the best of it." Gordo replied placing his arms around Miranda's waist, while Miranda -hesitantly- placed her arms around his neck

Both danced silently taking it all in. Both didn't know it- but they were in heaven. Being in each others arms was just- perfect.

Towards the end of the song, Gordo slightly pulled Miranda closer to him and whispered, "You know, you really DO look beautiful tonight."

Those words, his sincerity, his whole being made Miranda melt inside.

After the song ended, they decided to sit the next song out. They both sat down at the table they originally sat at before.

Throughout the whole song, random girls were coming up to Miranda, commenting her on everything. Her dress, her hair, her make-up, her shoes... you name it, they said it.

But with all the body heat everyone was creating with all the dancing and chatting, it was getting a little hot in the room.

"It's getting hot!" Gordo yelled over the blaring music "You wanna go out onto the balcony?"

"Sure!" Miranda replied

Gordo took her hand and led her through the crowd, to the balcony. There weren't many people out- but their were some. The two made their way to the railing and just looked at the view. The city lights made the town of Hillridge illuminate to its' beauty.

But Miranda had something else on her mind besides the view...

"Gordo" Miranda finally said with uncertainty present in her voice "Uhm- there's something I kinda need to tell you. And I think this is the perfect time to do it."

"Go ahead- you can tell me anything Miranda." Gordo replied, as he turned to face her

"Ok" Miranda began "well, I've been keeping this locked inside for a long time and there's no better way then to just tell you. But I can't find myself doing that."

"It's ok, Miranda- I'm right here." Gordo said with care as he took hold of her hand

Miranda let out a deep sigh. 'It's now or never, Sanchez' She thought

"Gordo, I..."
