Chapter 48:
It was prom night. All the boys were waiting outside of the house, nervous, especially Koga and Eric. Eric honestly couldn't wait to see Lia all dressed up and to walk her into the counrty club and to get the pictures taken and everything. Koga just couldn't wait to see Sam. That's all he wanted.
"UGH! What's taking them so long?" Eric exclaimed.
"They're girls. You have to be patient." Mrs. Sherlock told him, who was standing outside with a camera, ready for when the girls came out. "Besides, Sam is doing everyone's ake-up and hair. She didn't want them to waste money on a hair stylist so she offered to do everyones."
"Yeah. Hey! What ever happened to those new girls that she had over?" Billy asked. He as also in a tux since Sam had invited them and bought them all tickets. Sam had even been nice enough to let Jacob come, but only because it would have been a waste of fifty-five dollars if he hadn't.
Andy smiled. "Yeah. So who are we gonna dance with then?" He asked.
Billy shrugged as he stuffed his hands in his pockets and continued to wait for his sister and her friends to be ready. He looked over t see the other twins running around all over the place.
"Walter! Evan!" Mrs. Sherlock yelled, and the twins an over to her, wondering what mom had in store for them. "I need you two to take GOOD pictures of me with your sister and brothers. Got-it?"
"Will we get paid like real photographers?" They both asked at once.
"When you go to college and earn a degree in photography and make a living of it, then you can get paid. But for now, just do as I tell you like good little boys." Mrs. Sherlock told her youngest sons before she handed them her digital camera.
"Fine..." They groaned at once as they took the camer in their hands just in time to see the girl emerge from the door.
First Lia came out, her long hair pulled up into an updo that was like a ponytail in tight curls with little flowers in her hair as she walked over to Eric, who stood stunned with his mouth open as he gaped at the beauty before him. She was wearing a fushia dress that had sparkles all over it and was halter that made her looked like a ballerina.
"Well? What do you think?" Lia asked.
"You-you l-look amazing!" Eric stutterd, hoping he hadn't sounded like a complete idiot.
"Thanks." Lia replied as she gave him a kiss on the cheek and wached as Eric cheeks went from normal colors to crimson and she laughed at it.
Next came Sarah, with her long hair in curls in a half up, half down style with it in tight curls as she walked over to Hiten. She had a little black forget me nots in her hair that went well with her dark purple dress, which was sleevless and went to the floor, dragging behind her as she held it up to keeo it from getting dirty, revealing her combat boots.
"Didn't feel right without them." Sarah told Hiten with a smile when he gave them a questioning look.
"They look great on you. And you look beautiful." Hiten said with a smile before he kissed her lovingly, unlike he had ever kissed any other girl he had been with, and Sarah returned the kiss.
Next was Sango, with her hair haning down with a few curls in it. Nothing special, but it went well with her baby blue dress, which she insisted on being long sleeves and showing no cleavage at all. It had sparkles on it, which made her glitter in the sunset as the dress flowed behind her as she walked. It was just long enough to show her heeled sandles, which Sam had to talk Sango into wearing because they matched the dress with their baby blue coloring. She walked over to Miroku, smiling sheepishly at him.
"You look fine Sango." Miroku assured her, knowing how she really fel embarrassed o be wearing a dress.
"Just fine?" Sango asked, sounding a bit dissappointed.
"No, you don't look fine. You looked fantastic, amazing, and I love you no matter how you look." Miroku told her, and recieved a light peck kiss for it, seeing Sango smile as she pulled away from him.
Next came Kagome. Her black hair pulled into a bun of tight curls with a few stray strand framing her face that were curled a little bit. She was wearing a silver dress with silver shoes that had flowers on them made of rine stones. The dress was a strappless dress as it went all the way to her ankles and had a igh slit in it that went to her thigh. Inuyasha's mouth dropped as she walked to him. She had a huge smile on her face. "Well?" Kagome asked as she did a quick spin in from of Inuyasha.
"Umm... You looked great." Inuyasha said as she gaped at Kagome.
"That's all?" Kagome teased.
Inuyasha sighed. "What do you want me to say? You look well, more beautiful than anyone I've ever seen."
"That's better." Kagome replied as she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him gently and quickly before pulling away and waiting for the last of the girls, which there was only one left.
Koga was shaking with anticipation. He wanted to see Sam, NOW! He couldn't wait until she walked out of the house and he saw her. He kept looking a the door, hoping she would hurry. Then he saw someone emerge from the door. It was Sam, with a huge smile on her face she walked out, wearing a black dress. It was a V neck and showed a little bit of cleavage and had long sleeves that were huge at the ends, like a wizards sleeves. It went down to the floor, with layers of fabric overlapping each other. It looked like a dress taken straight from a Princess Ai manga, which Koga wouldn't doubt if that's what she did. You couldn't even see her feet with it dragging about two feet behind her on the floor. Her hair was dyed black and her makeup was all black; black eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, and black lipstick. She didn't even look like Sam anymore.
"Who are you and what have you done with Sam?" Koga asked with a smile that told Sam he was joking.
"Don't you like it?" Sam asked with a smile.
"Well, I have never kissed a girl with black lips." Koga replied.
"Maybe you will tonight." Sam replied before her mom came over with the camera.
"Smile you two." She said, and Koga and Sam smiled before they were blinded by the flash of the camera. Then she went on to get pictures of everyone else.
"You look great." Koga said, his forehead leaning against Sam's.
"Thanks." Sam said with a smile, not believing she was actually going to prom with Koga, and wondering if this was just some amazing dream that had just gone on too long. She even pinched herself, and it hurt, making her believe that it was all true.
"OK everyone! Get together for a group shot!" Mrs. Sherlock exclaimed, and everyone got together for a picture, everyone smiling, ready to leave more than anything. Mrs. Sherlock took the picture then pulled her daughter away from Koga after giving the camer to Walter and Evan to take a picture of her and Sam together. Then she went back to the boys. "OK. Al the girls get together and pose for a picture." Mrs. Sherlock ordered.
"Mom!" Sam laughed. "We're not getting married."
"No one is getting near the limo until I have all the pictures I need." Mrs. Sherlock threatened with a look on her face that said she wasn't joking.
"Okay! Everyone pose! NOW!" Sam yelled, and all the girl lined up and posed for the pictures.
"Okay! Now all the boys line up!" Mrs. Sherlock told them, and all the boys lined up and smiled for the camera, Koga trying not to laugh with all the funny face Sam was making. Especially after she kapt acting like Betty Boop saying 'Smile pretty like a model!'.
"Boo Doop Di Doop Boop!" Sam exclaimed, running around like Betty Boop with Koga chasing her and everyone laughed. Then Sam went and hid behind her behind her mom, which made Koga stop.
"You shouldn't go around chasing women young man..." Mrs. Sherlock scolded.
"Umm..." Koga had no clue what to say. But Sam was laughing behind her mom before she popped back out and landed in Koga's arms.
"Now all of you have your corsages, right?" Mrs. Sherlock asked, and all the girls held up their wrists and Mrs.Serlock looked at all the boys to make sure they had the roses pinned to the chest of their tuxedoes. "Okay. You're all ready to go!"
"Thank you so much Mom!" Sam exclaimed as she hugged her mother and revieved a kiss.
"I really wish you would have chosen a different type of make-up though..." Mrs. Sherlock said.
"Sorry MOM!" Sam exclaimed the end of her sentence when Koga lifted her up bridle style. "Wait! Wait! I need my jacket!" Sam exclaimed as she scrambled out of Koga's arms and went into the house before comoing back quickly wearing a leather jacket. Her mom looked at her in more dissapproval, but smiled.
She looked at Koga. "Don't let anything happen to that jacket." Mrs. Sherlock said, instead of telling Koga to keep her daughter safe.
"Nothing will happen to you jacket OR your daughter." Koga replied before following Sam to the limo.
"Have fun!" Mrs. Sherlock exclaimed beore turning around to look for Walter and Even again.
Everyone was in the limo, with Sam and Koga sitting in the back, closest to the driver and everyone else crammed inside.
"So, to prom?" Billy asked.
"Not yet. We have to pick up Erin and Witt still." Sam replied, feeling Koga wrap his arm around her waist.
"Where are hey going to sit?" Eric asked.
Sam only shrugged. "We can make room for them." Sam replied.
"Hope so." Sarah said from on Hiten's lap.
"I'm sure we can." Sam said. "Now, Newark HO!" Sam exclaimed with a big smile.
In Newark...
The limo drove up the driveway blowing it's horn loudly to signal that it had arrived. Everyone jumped out and went to the door of the house and Sam knocked on the door. "Erin! Come on! We gotta go to prom!" She screamed before the door opened to reveal Erin standing in a beautiful gown that was a bright green dress that looked a lot like Lia's, but had sequens all over it and spagetti strapps with white gloves on her arms and green hgh heels to match the dress. She stepped out of the door and was soon followed by a very good looking, brunet boy that was just a little shorter than her, but not much in a black tuxedo.
"Erin! You look great! And Witt! You really should wear a tux more often!" Sam complimented. "Now lets get pictures done and go! Come on!"
"Okay! Okay! Let me get one with just you, me, and Lia real quick and then one with Sarah added in and then one with us and all our dates." Erin said.
"And I want one of the entire group together." Sam told her.
"Yeah. Okay. Come in! We have the livingi room all set up for pictures." Erin told her, and everyone came in a tried to fit into the small living room, which would soon become her grandma's bedroom later on.
"Okay." Mrs. Crow, Erin's mother said as she pointed the camera at Erin, Lia, and Sam all posing together with Erin in the middle. "Smile." And the girls smiled before Mrs. Crow clicked the camera. "Okay, Sarah, you get in with them now." Then Sarah joined the group and the picture was taken again. "Okay, now the dates get in." Mrs. Crow ordered before Koga, Hiten, Eric, and Witt all joined, aking the place next to whoever their date was. Then Mrs. Crow took the picture before turning to the last of the group. "Now the rest of you can get in there." Mrs Crow told Billy, Andy, Jacob,Kagome, Sango, Inuyasha, and Miroku before they walked over and everyone smiled before the last of the pictures was taken. Then everyone talked for a few minutes before Sam introduced everyone.
"Erin, Witt, I want you to meet my newest friends, Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku, Sango, Hiten, and my date Koga." Sam said.
"They aren't-" Erin started.
"Yes." Sam replied before she could finish the sentence.
"You didn't."
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes!" Sam exclaimed, getting tired of this. "Now lets go! We're not gonna have enough time for pictures!" Sam exclaimed as she hurried everyone out the door and everyone squeezed into the limo and headed off to prom.
At prom...
Everyone arrived at the DuPont Country Club, where they all got out of the limo, ost of the senior just staring at them and they all came out of the limo. Sam got out and immediately saw Kathy, Lindsey, Britney, Erin Marrow, and Eddie waiting for them.
"You guys still came?" Sam asked. "I thought you were sick!" Sam said to Eddie.
"Who are you?" They all asked at once, not recognizing Sam at all.
"It's ME!" Sam exclaimed, but only got blank looks. "Sammie! The girl you guys invites and who br ought the whole gang with her!"
"Oh!" They said.
"Whatever. Let's just get inside. I didn't pay fifty bucks to stand out here all night." Eddie said.
"What did you do to your hair?" Kathy asked Sam.
"Like it?" Sam asked. "It's temporary, but I think I'll bye it next chance I get."
"Don't!" Linday told her. "Not a good idea."
"Whatever." Sam said before she waved for the rest of the group hurry up and everyone rushed inside, ready to party.
Koga went over to Sam and they walked in, ready to take the breatherlizer (can't spell) test, which Sam had to explain to Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku, Sango, Hiten, and Koga. Everyone took the test, and everyone passed, and everyone went in, finding their table where everyone could sit at. And there were name tags marking where everyone sat, which Lindsey ended up moving everyone around to keep Sam and their friend Jess and her dateaway from Erin Marrow so there would be no fighting, and so everyone could sit next to their date.
"I'm so excited! This really is so cool." Lia blabbed as she sat down in her assigned seat. "But would it kill them to do a little decorating more than this. And maybe some music we could actually listen to, and-"
"Stop, or I'm putting you in my trunk Lia." Eddie said.
"With Happy." Sam added.
"Yes, with Sam's dog." Eddie said.
"No! I'm not going to stop! I don't have to listen to anyone!" Lia went on.
"Lia! You're a freshman a PROM! Be happy and don't be critical for once." Sam said. "Now let's all relax and have fun." Sam smiled as she looked at Koga.
"You do know that there's more than dancing tonight." Sarah said. "There's a pageant to help vote for prom king and queen, and it includes everyone."
"Are you serious?" Erin asked.
"So even us, the freshmen, could be prom king or queen?" Lia asked.
"Who cares?" Sam said. "Not like any of us are going to be voted. I mean, we're the only freshmen here other than Sam Swanson and Britney Jones."
"True. Besides, who would vote for you period?" Erin Marrow asked.
"Shut-up Erin. At least I have a date!" Sam shot back.
"Right, but it's only because you're a slut." Erin Marrowshot back.
"Oh no you didn't you-" Sam stopped when Kathy slapped a hand over her mouth.
"Erin, you stop now. Sam, you don't yell back at Erin or threaten her." Kathy said, and she was the only one who Erin Marrow would ever listen to.
"I don't see why you have to go at her like that Erin." Jess started.
"Well, I can't help it if I don't like her and think she's a slut." Erin Marrow said to Jess.
"She's not a slut! She's a freshman with a boyfriend. Something you probably have never had!" Jess shot back, looking like she was ready to kill Erin Marrow, like usual.
"Stop! Everyone! We're here, we're going to have a good night, and we're not going to fight all night. Got it?" Eddie stated, trying to keep the peace at the table.
"Whatever." Sam said. "Oh! Pictures! Before dinner starts. Let's go!" Sam exclaimed as she grabbed Koga's hand.
"Haven't we gotten enough pictures. You'd think you were getting married." Koga said.
"Well, we're not. And it's a big thing and I promised my mom we would all get pictures." Sam said as she pulled out the blank check her mom handed her. She went to the table and started filling out forms. One for a group shot, and one for eavh couple to get seperate photos with wallets and large pictures. She wrote the amount into the check and handed it to the woman before everyone went into the room to take more pictures.
Once the pictures were done, everyone went back to the table just in time for Mr. Glenn, a man who worked at the school, to say grace. Once grace was over, dinner was served and everyone ate.
Everyone at the table was eating, but Sam didn't have her food.
"Where's your food?" Jess asked.
"I don't know. Where's a waiter or someone?" Sam asked. Then she saw the waitress. "'Scuze me! I umm...don't have my food."
"What did you order?" The woman asked.
"The beef dinner." Sam replied.
"Okay, I'll be right back and see what happened." The waitress replied before walking off to go check where Sam's food had gone.
"Everything okay?" Koga asked.
"Yeah. They just didn't bring my food. I'm really not hungry anyway." Sam said. Then the watress returned.
"Umm... you're meal, was eaten by one of the cops. I'm so sorry." The waitress apologized.
"It's okay. Not your fault." Sam replied.
"We could make you another meal, but it might take a while. Or you could have the chicken meal or the pasta meal." The waitress said.
"I'll just take the pasta meal then." Sam replied.
"Okay. I'll be right back." The waitress said.
"What happened?" Kagome asked.
"Oh, one of the cops ate my meal." Sam replied.
"Well, just think about it, you could just ind him and go up to himnow and say 'I got a beef with you!'" Kathy joked and everyone at the table laughed except Koga, Miroku, Inuyasha, and Sango, who didn't get the joke.
"Or you bell dim, bleh! I can't talk straight today." Eddie said.
That's when Lindsey, Kathy, and Sam all looked at each for a minute before they looked at Eddie and Lindsey spoke.
"Youcould never speak 'straight'!" Lindsey exclaimed and everyne laughed while Eddie only smiled thinking 'How could I have just walked right into that one?'.
"Here's your pasta meal." The waitress said as she placed a plate with pasta on it in front of Sam.
"Thank you." Sam replied before she started eating. And everyone continued to eat their dinner, wondering when all the dancing was going to start.
