Just a few last minute touch ups were done before Manny and Emma headed out the door to where Chris and JT were sitting in a black limacine. On the way to the homecoming dance they took a bunch of pictures. Most of them were of Emma and Manny but some of the pictures taken had Chris and Emma, JT and Manny, or all of them together. Tonight was going to be a blast. It had to be. Little did one of them know that it wasn't going to go as well as they had hoped.

At Alex's, she and Ellie were getting ready. Alex and Ellie were surprised at themselves, mostly because neither of them had ever worn a dress before. And to their surprise they looked decent in the dresses they picked out. Alex's white dress made her look slimmer and she felt like a princess although no one would ever know about that. As for Ellie, she felt a bit awkward at first but then got used to the whole dress thing. She surprised herself when she looked into the mirror to find that she wasn't wearing anything black and that she wasn't wearing any black makeup. Instead, she was wearing a pretty pink dress that complimented her hair and she to felt like a princess. A few minutes after they were done getting ready the door bell rang and Jay and Sean came in. They each gave their dates a corsage and then escorted them out the door and to the dance.

Emma was having a great time at the dance. She and Chris were doing really well and so were JT and Manny. JT wasn't acted immature at all and it surprised both Emma and Manny. It was still the beginning of the dance so not everyone was there yet but when the doors Emma was facing opened her jaw dropped. Now it was a good thing Chris and JT left to get the girls drinks because if he was there then he probably would have gotten mad at her. Luckily though Manny was the only one with her and she didn't seem to notice anything. But in came Ellie, Alex, Jay and Sean. Sean? Why was Sean here? She asked herself. He was supposed to be in Wasaga Beach to deal. When did he come back? Why did he come back? And why was he still with Ellie? She quickly got over it though. Emma figured Sean didn't really mean it when he told her he was sorry back in Wasaga. The more people arrived the more fun the dance became. Then it was finally time for the announcement of homecoming king and queen. Everyone was so excited.

"Now settle down everyone." Mr. Simpson said as the students quieted down. "Before I announce anything I would like to say that we are starting a new tradition. The king and queen of the Degrassi homecoming dance must dance together for the first four slow songs. Now you all might think it's a lot but tough." He said and then stopped. "Now who wants to know who the king and queen are?" He said with enthusiasm. The students all clapped and yelled. "Your Degrassi king is-" He said looking at the white piece of paper. "Sean Cameron." Then everyone started to clap and cheer for him. Once he was on stage Mr. Simpson smiled at him. "And for your Degrassi queen she is Miss Emma Nelson." Sean's eyes widened because he knew this was going to be bad. Ellie heard this and just got pissed and so did Chris. As Emma made her way on the stage everyone was cheering and clapping loud for her. Then once she was on stage Liberty put the tiara on her head and the crown on Sean's. Then the first slow song came on and they were both hesitant to dance with each other at first but then got over it. When the song was over they pulled apart and quickly got off the stage.

"Em." Chris said. "Chris. I need some fresh air. Want to come join me?" "Sure but I will be there in a second okay? I need to go talk to JT about something first but I will come out when I am done okay babe?" Emma smiled and kissed him on the cheek then went outside. Little did she know that Ellie was on her way outside too.

Emma saw Ellie and ignored her hoping she would do the same but that was just too hard. "Emma." "Ellie." "Nice crown." She said in a bitchy voice. "It's a tiara. The one your boyfriend has on is a crown. Thought you would know the difference. Don't your little vampire people have them or something?" Emma said not caring if it made sense. She didn't want to talk to Ellie. It wasn't that she was jealous of her and Sean it was just that she and Sean seemed to be on good terms when he left but he didn't even call her. "Sure whatever. Emma listen I know you still have feelings for Sean but stop them okay? I need him and he obviously loves me or he wouldn't have come back to me." "Excuse me? I don't have feelings for Sean. Mutual like friends sure why not? But I don't love Sean." "Whatever. It's getting cold out here. I think I will go have Sean warm me up. By Em." Ellie said in a bitchy voice. Emma just ignored her. She didn't want to deal with that type of thing right now. But it was getting cold so she went inside. Chris had been inside for more than five minutes and he wasn't even talking to JT anymore. But with her luck just as she walked back into the dance a slow song came on and Sean came up to her.

"Ah. Sean what do you want?" She said in a bitchy tone. "Uh it's a slow song and we are the king and queen and there happens to be a tradition here. Don't want to break that now do we?" "Oh right. Yeah okay I guess." And then she wrapped her arms around his neck and he put his hands on her hips. They were pretty close to each other too. Sean didn't like how it was quiet. It's supposed to be quiet when you dance with someone but this was an awkward silence that was killing them both. They had to say things to each other but were afraid too. Sean finally decided to say something.

"Em." "Emma to you Sean. You wouldn't like it if I started to call you Cameron would you?" She said in a snobby tone. "Whatever just forget it." "Forget what Sean? You said my name that's it. Or is there something you wanted to talk about?" This time she sounded kind of sincere and concerned. "Well actually yes. We should talk Emma." "Sure whatever you want. You always get what you want don't you? I mean you wanted to break my heart and you got that? You wanted Ellie and you got that too. But the shocking thing is you didn't want me dead. You risked your life for me after breaking my heart more than once into a million pieces. Who does that Sean? Just tell me who?" Emma said almost crying but she sucked it up. "Emma. Come on that was ages ago." "Really Sean? I think it was more like less than a year ago. And don't think you can talk your way out of me hating you this time. It won't work." Then she stormed off as the song was ending. Sean just stood there. This was defiantly going to be a long night. And to think they still had three more dances together.

"Sean what's wrong?" A concerned Ellie asked. "What? Oh nothing. Just something E- never mind." He didn't want to mention Emma so he didn't but Ellie figured out that something was wrong with Emma. She didn't pay attention to it though. "Well Alex, Jay and I are going to The Dot. Do you want to come with us? With me?" She said. "Uh sure maybe I guess." He just wanted to get out of there. Dances weren't really his scene anyway. So they left and when the next slow song came around Emma looked all over for him but didn't find him so she ended up dancing with Chris like it should have been in the first place.
