3 Years After Guy Troubles: Epilogue

Dana walked the halls of the school building. It was the week before school was over and Dana didn't want to think about it. Her blonde hair swayed as she walked. She had gotten it trimmed to almost chin length and there was a little clip holding a few strands back. Today was just not her day. All her friends were getting ready for college or too busy worrying about their futures.
As she walked up the last few steps of stairs she looked up to a familiar face. The hair that was spiked up and down with a smiling face. Dana ran into Josh's out stretched arms almost knocking him down. She smiled at her boyfriend weakly and he gave her a concerned expression.
"What's wrong Dana?" Josh asked, completely concerned.
"Huh? Oh, nothing. Just busy and tired that's all." she said, trying to convince him.
He didn't buy it but he decided not to ask what was really wrong. They had been dating for about three years and he knew when something was wrong. Josh had other things planned. Prom night was coming soon and he couldn't wait to ask.
Up the hallway they joined two other couples. Zoe and Takuya and the other group, Koji and Amber. They were talking about something Dana didn't want to hear. But she decided to stay so not to worry Josh any more than she already had.
"Hey Josh. What's up?" Takuya greeted, while doing his and Josh's handshake.
"Hi Taki. Got your prom tickets?" Josh asked.
"Yea and I've noticed that you got yours too." Takuya said.
"We've got ours so don't ask." Koji said, stepping into the conversation.
"Dana, do you want to go prom dress shopping later?" Zoe inquired.
"Sure Z." was all she answered with a smile.
"Ok. So we meet up after school?" Zoe asked.
"Yea. We can take my car." Amber said.
Dana looked around and overheard Amber and Zoe talking about the future. She didn't want to listen. She had to make some lame excuse up. She was looking around searching for an answer.
"Josh, I got to go… uh I got to go do something." Dana said running off.
"Where's she going?" Amber asked, as everybody thought the same thing.
"Wait here." Josh said running off in the same direction.
Dana ran through the crowd of students with Josh close behind. When he finally reached her he grabbed her hand and turned her around to face him. Tears had formed in her eyes. Josh let go of her hand and held her.
"What's really wrong?" Josh whispered.
"I don't know." Dana said.
"You can tell me." Josh reassured her.
"It's just this is our last year together with everyone leaving for college or other countries. It's the last year for us ,too. With that record deal and me doing nothing you'll be traveling and won't have time for me, your girlfriend." Dana said in between sobs.
"Yea we will. I'll have a lot of time for you." Josh said.
"You sure?" Dana inquired.
"Absolutely." Josh said kissing her head.
They heard claps all around them even what was left of the gang. They must've forgotten that they were in a hallway full of kids. Josh and Dana blushed with embarrassment at the thought of them saying all of that with everyone watching. Zoe and Amber made their way through the crowd of students to Dana.
"C'mon. Let's go shopping." Zoe said, pulling Dana along.
"Bye Josh." Amber said.
The boy smiled. After all this excitement today she would surely answer.

--Dress Shop--

A black mustang pulled into the lot closest to the door. Amber, Zoe and Dana all got out of it and entered the shop. The three girls were amazed at all the dresses and accessories there. They began looking at them a trying them on. Although they had a few arguments on what color to wear. Zoe decided on a wine colored spaghetti strapped corset gown. Amber picked out a midnight blue dress with silver glitter running down one side. Dana finally had her choice. It was a hot pink strapless dress that was slim. They went up to the counter. The lady at the desk counted up the bill which the girls paid and then the assistant hung them on racks and pulled some bags over them. The girls took their dresses and put them in the car. They only had a few days to wait till the prom.

--Prom Night: Dana's House--

Dana was ready all she needed to do now was wait. Josh said he had a surprise for her and that he would pick her up. She began to twirl a few strands of hair that was in her face. That got her bored real quick. She got up from the spot on the sofa and went to the door. Outside the stars were shining brightly and the moon was only a crescent. Tonight was a great choice to have the prom on. She stared back down after hearing a honk in her driveway. She opened the door revealing a limo and Josh standing beside it with the door open. She walked out of the doorway and walked towards Josh.
"Oh my, you did this for me?" Dana asked him.
"Yea. I did." Josh answered, gesturing her in the limo.

"Awe. You shouldn't have." Dana said, as he placed the corsage on her wrist.
"I'd do anything for you." Josh said smiling.
They both got into the limo and drove towards the school. The limo pulled into the parking lot. The chauffer opened the door letting the two out. Josh held Dana's hand and lead her towards the beautifully decorated auditorium. Dana stared in awe at all the lights and looked at the stage. The band was there setting up. The school decided on two groups. The one and only BBMak and then they had Hilary Duff. Dana linked arms with Josh and they walked towards Takuya and Zoe.
"Hey Josh and Dana." Takuya called.
"Hey Taki." Josh said shaking his friend's hand.
"Dana your so beautiful." Zoe said, overlooking Dana.
"Oh, Zoe. You know your gorgeous." Dana said giggling with the blond.
"Girls can't live with them." Taki started shaking his head.
"Can't live without 'em." Josh finished.
"Hope we're not interrupting your moment." a voice said from behind them.
It was none other than Koji and Amber. Amber smiled at the other two girls and hugged them. Koji just shook each guy's hand. They said their hello's and then the band started. Hilary Duff started with 'Come Clean.'

[Let's go back
Back to the beginning
Back to when the earth, the sun and the stars all aligned
'Cause perfect didn't feel so perfect
Trying to fit a square into a circle
Was no life
I defy

Let the rain fall down
And wake my dreams
Let it wash away
My sanity
'Cause I wanna feel the thunder
I wanna scream
Let the rain fall down
I'm coming clean, I'm coming clean]

Dana laid her head on Josh's chest. She loved this song and she wanted this moment to last. She looked up into his chocolate colored eyes with her icy blue ones. She smiled at him which he returned. She then began to let the music take over her.

[I'm coming clean
Let the rain fall
Let the rain fall
I'm coming…
Let the rain fall down
And wake my dreams
Let it wash away
My sanity
'Cause I wanna feel the thunder
I wanna scream
Let the rain fall down
I'm coming clean]

Takuya looked at the beautiful princess in his arms. He really loved her. He knew that they would spend the rest of their lives together happy. He had never felt this way about anyone but her. He continued to hold her and dance.

Koji and Amber were swaying to the music gently looking into each other's eyes. Amber had her arms wrapped around his neck and staring at his ocean depths. He looked back at her. His best friend and his companion. They had finally become an item that year. She was his soul mate and his love. Same thing goes for Amber.

[Let's go back
Back to the beginning]

The crowd applauded Hilary's performance. Hilary played 'So Yesterday' next along with BBMak's 'Back Here.' It was now time for the crowning of King and Queen. One of the members of BBMak crowned the King and Hilary crowned the Queen.
"Ok. This year's King is." the man said reading the paper," Takuya Kanbara!"
Takuya left Zoe there to clap for him as he went onto the stage. The man crowned him and gave him his scepter. Then Hilary Duff got ready.
"And your Queen is." she said with the same anticipation," Zoe Orimoto."
Zoe went up to where Takuya was and got crowned and was handed a bouquet of roses.
"Would you like to give your speech?" the principal asked handing the microphone to Takuya.
"It's not what I have to say. It's what my best friend Josh has to say." Takuya answered.
Zoe looked at Takuya confused. He winked at her and she understood. Now all eyes were on Josh and Dana. He took her hand and got on one knee. Dana looked shocked at the velvet box in his hand.
"Dana Mathews, I love you and I want to be with you. Even when I go on tours with the guys. As long as I know you're here waiting for me to return. Will you do me the honor of marrying me?" Josh asked.
"Yes. I will marry you." Dana said.
Josh stood up and brought her into a kiss. They could here applauds and cheers all around. This time not embarrassed. The lead singer of BBMak went up to the microphone.
"Let's give it up to Josh and Dana."
Everyone cheered once more. The crowd soon drifted apart to give Z and Taki room. They danced to BBMac's 'Out of My Heart (Into Your Head)'. Even if they were slowly losing one another they would always be friends. Everyone kept their promises even if they're older and gone a lot they would always show up for reunions or in this case weddings. That's the way friendship is. And for Dana. Well, her guy troubles are finally over.
