Homecoming night had finally come as they all took pictures at Logan's all the parents gathered around blinding their children with the excessive clicks of the cameras. Rachel felt sad but with a smile from Jake and the other parents she suddenly felt giddy again. They piled into the limo after promising their would be no drinking and they would go straight to the prom. It was the four of them and they couldn't be happier. They decided to actually tell the truth and pulled out some coke instead of the usual champagne which didn't seem to phase her much she was already feeling drunk from happiness.

They got to the dance and made their way inside, before they could enter they dropped in their votes for homecoming king and queen, they were all in the running. For king the nominees were Logan, Duncan, Dick, and Casey. And for queens there was Veronica (Rachel nominated her as a surprise and she actually was in the running) Madison (Duh!), Meg(dido) and Rachel, who was set up by the 09ers just as another slap in the face to show her how much she was hated.

They ate, drank, and danced, Rachel melted in Duncan's arms as the song "I do" played on the speakers. Rachel was keeping something from him again but by the way she was acting it was either something funny, or little that didn't matter so he dropped it. They kissed while dancing and swaying to the music. Just then the spotlight that had been roaming the crowd focused on them, and the song ended. Someone got up to the mike, it was Kyle Lawrence the secretary of activities and he was making an announcement.

"It seems that we have a treat for ourselves tonight, Rachel Rembok will be singing and dancing a song" Rachel's face paled and she looked faint.

Just then Madison and Dick pushed her toward the stage and pulled her up before Dick yelled "paybacks a bitch." She stood there not making a move and Duncan started moving forward to grab her from the stage but was pulled back by some 09er goons.

Madison and Dick had looks of peer evil wretched on their face as she looked scared and helpless. Just then the music started and their face dropped realizing it wasn't the song they had chosen. They had wanted her to sing "Dip it low" by ciara and have everyone see she was a slut but this was an upbeat song and oddly familiar.

It was "stand out" from the goofy movie and her expression changed to a smile. She looked over the crowd and took the microphone saying "this goes out to those of you who thought you could beat me. But remember I was born to stand out"

Just then the jumbo tron behind her lit up and there was video footage of the 09er boys in the front of class, talking about their small…..packages. As she began to sing and dance across the stage.

Open up your eyes,

Take a look at me,

Get the picture fixed in your memory,

I am driven by the rythem,

Like the beat of a heart,

And I wont stop until I start,

To Stand out,

To Stand out,

She began to move across the stage moving her arms in perfectly coordinated routine, singing to each and every person. Behind her the footage had turned to photos of her and Duncan then of all of them, the whole group. Everyone watched it and realized what she had been doing. It was like her own little love letter to each and every one of them.

Some people settle for the typical thing,

Living all their lives in the wings,

It isn't a question of if,

Just a matter of time,

Before I move to the front of the line,

And once your watching every move that I make,

You gotta believe that I got what it takes,

To stand out above the crowd,

Even If I gotta shout out loud,

Tonight is the only face you'll see,

Gonna stand out till you notice me,

She moved around and the pictures had changed to those of the night of Dick's party, then of pictures of Dick and the strippers. The whole auditorium laughed, and Dicks face got redder. She had fooled him again; she was going to pay, Marjory.

She then bent down in the front of the stage looking him in the face singing directly to him and Madison.

If I can make you stop and take a look at me instead of just,

There's nothing that I wouldn't do if It was getting you to notice,

All I need is half a chance,

A second thought,

A second glance,

To prove Ive got whatever takes,

It's a piece of cake

She sang giving him a wink before getting back to the middle of the stage, and finishing,

Stand out,

Until you notice me.

She sang with a long note, her voice was angelic and he couldn't help but fall even more in love with her. She bowed and the entire crowd yelled and screamed. She got off stage and smiled at Dick before going over to Duncan throwing her arms around his neck and kissing him deeply.

"now explain yourself" he said teasingly.

"well the AV guy was paid by Dick to make me sing, I helped him get a girlfriend so he gave me a heads up, I had him change the song and decided to play the video I have been working on for a special occasion tonight." She said with a sigh after finishing her story. She was really tired from dancing and was feeling faint. They took a seat and he pulled her onto his lap.

After some time Kyle got back on stage with the crowns and flowers ready to pronounce homecoming court. "Okay boys and girls now is the time you all have been waiting for." He said proudly into the mike.

They stood in the crowd his arms around her waist, watching Kyle, "our homecoming king is" Kyle started Dick had already walked toward the stage but was stopped "Logan Echolls" he said.

Logan gave Veronica a kiss and took the stage the whole crowd was in applause, so what if his father was a psychotic killer, people couldn't help it he was just so loveable. Duncan cheered with all his heart, he didn't want to win, he knew that it was just one more thing they were going to throw around every time he was mentioned. He was already captain of the soccer team, and Editor of the school paper, put that on top of class president. Nope he was just fine where he was in the crowd cheering his best friend on.

"And this years Senior class homecoming queen is….. Rachel Rembok" everyone cheered and she turned a bright pink. It was the first time anyone had ever seen her blush, she really never expected to win. Veronica gave her a hug and she walked onto stage Duncan on her tail.

"Sorry but queens only" Kyle said to Duncan while putting the crown on her head. Cameras started going off as she took pictures with Logan. Just then Duncan took the mike and stood infront of Rachel.

"As all you know I love this girl" he said looking at her, "That's why I wanted all of you to see me do this" he said getting on one knee, "Rachel will you marry me?" he said slipping the ring back on her finger. He already knew the answer but he wanted everyone else to know.

"Yes" she said taking him into her arms and kissing his fiercely. She looked over the crowd covered in both looks of surprise and looks of awe. She smiled and took Logan's hand, it was custom for them to dance.

"I am so happy for you" he said with a genuine smile.

"Thank you" she said hugging him tighter. "I need to tell you something, you are my oldest friend and I want you to be one of the first to know." She said looking him in the eyes. "I'm pregnant."

He looked at her in shock that broke into a wide grin "I knew you would make Duncan a man!" she giggled and rested her head on his shoulder. She looked over and watched Veronica and Duncan, she got his attention and mouthed 'I love you' he did the same and the music stopped being replaced by a fast motion one. They danced for a while then she was in shock. They were playing 'Everything' by life house and she melted into his arms.

"they are playing our song" she cooed.

"I know I made friends with the DJ" he said giving her a kiss.

She couldn't believe how much she wanted him then as she moved her mouth to his ear. "I need you inside of me" she whispered nibbling his ear sending shivers up his spine.

She took his hand and they departed the dance giving a look around and not seeing Logan and Veronica. They went into the hallway and she walked up to the girls bathroom, she tried the door but it was locked. She could hear people inside and heard veronica giggling. She then heard a moan and giggled herself turning to Duncan.

"What?" he asked puzzled.

"I guess we aren't the only ones" she said with a smile.

Duncan got the hint and put two and two together. "I didn't need to know that"

"Oh poor baby, I will give you a good image to take that one away" she said leading him into the empty journalism room and locking the door.
