Disclaimer: Honestly, see my last chapter!
This is my last chapter, and it is sadly; short. Oh and to clear something up I forgot to write what Alice and her date were going as, it is: As the swan princess...
Lily and James danced and talked the whole hour of the dance, laughing and smiling at each other. They each revelled in the other's company, finding that despite their reservations there was no doubt a spark.
Then, all to quickly, the band played its final note, and the countdown to the unmasking began. Turning to Lily, James spoke quietly.
"You know, when this started, I thought that bad things happened to good people. I thought that having to write to a pen pal would be stupid. I didn't want that. But now… I think that this happened for a reason."
"Things happen." Lily said, after hesitating a moment.
"I'm glad they do. I'm glad the letters started. They brought me you." And with that, James leaned forward and slowly caught Lily's lips. Unsure at first, Lily hesitated, but slowly felt herself soften into James' embrace. After a few very long moments, James released her and Lily smiled, clasping James' hand and intertwining his fingers with her own.
59… 58… 57…
Lily could hear the screams of her fellow students as they excitedly counted down the minute.
40… 39… 38…
Everything seemed so bright and vibrant to Lily. She looked at James, and he smiled at her.
21… 20… 19… 18…
The second dragged on for an age. Lily fidgeted nervously with the base of her mask.
4… 3… 2… 1…
With a small smile, James reached down and gently grasped Lily's mask as everyone around the couple did the same to their respective partners. There was a unanimous gasp in the hall as each student looked at their dates that stood in front of them, shocked. Lily and James stared at each other with blank faces, and they said the first thing that came to their minds.
"Oh my gosh."
The End!
