As if it was a standard, each ball seemed to include a champagne toast to the new President and First Lady. However, Josh stopped partaking of the champagne after the second or third ball, since Donna kept reminding him of his sensitive system. Josh, for once, did not argue with this, since he wanted to remain composed for what would be one of the most important moments in his and Donna's lives.

At the ninth and final ball, Donna had decided that Josh had been through enough balls without a drink, and let him have one just as President Santos was giving the final toast of the evening.

"Helen and I would just like to thank everyone for all of your support during the campaign. Here's to the next four years!" said Matt, with a huge smile on his face.

However, the toast did not end the evening. At that moment, Eric Clapton came on the stage and started singing "Wonderful Tonight." With the song starting to play, Josh asked Donna, "May I have this dance, Donnatella?"

Donna simply replied, with a smile on her face, "I thought you would never ask, Joshua."

Wrapped up in each other's arms, and with Eric Clapton's beautiful song playing, it seemed as if Josh and Donna could not have been happier. Their man was just sworn in as President, they were among the most powerful people in the nation, and they were sharing it all with each other.

It's late in the evening; she's wondering what clothes to wear.
She puts on her make-up and brushes her long blonde hair.
And then she asks me, "Do I look all right?"
And I say, "Yes, you look wonderful tonight."

"This night has been so wonderful, Josh," said Donna, with her head on his shoulder, "I just don't want it to end yet."

Josh thought to himself, "It's not over yet, Donna. In fact, the best is yet to come."

We go to a party and everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady that's walking around with me.
And then she asks me, "Do you feel all right?"
And I say, "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight."

"It still doesn't feel real," said Josh," I mean, with everything that's happened over the last two months, all of this hasn't totally sunk in yet."

"I know," said Donna, snapping him back to reality for the moment, "It will tomorrow as we begin our first full day as Chiefs of Staff."

I feel wonderful because I see
The love light in your eyes.
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don't realize how much I love you.

"Yeah, but who says the night has to end here?" asked Josh.

"Huh?" was all Donna had to say.

It's time to go home now and I've got an aching head,
So I give her the car keys and she helps me to bed.
And then I tell her, as I turn out the light,
I say, "My darling, you were wonderful tonight.
Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight."

As the song ended, Josh told Donna that there was someplace special that he wanted to take her before they headed back to the apartment. Donna was a bit surprised at this statement, but was otherwise okay with it.

After the performance ended, Josh and Donna thanked all the guests who attended the ball. They then went over to say good night to Matt and Helen.

"It was a lovely evening," said Donna.

"Yes, it was," replied Helen.

"Thank you both for everything throughout the campaign and transition," said Matt, "This night was for both of you almost as much as it was for us. See you both tomorrow."

"Have a good night and see you in the morning," said Josh. With Donna talking with Helen, Josh asked Matt, "Everything is good to go, right?"

Matt replied, "Yup, you just make sure this night is one neither of you will forget."

"Believe me, we will remember this forever," Josh told him. Going to Donna, he asked her, "So, are you ready for the night to continue on?"

"Of course," said Donna.

"Then, when we step outside, close your eyes," said Josh.
