A First impression . Chapter 2( I don't own Gi Joe or anything but these stories I wrote, so please don't sue)

The time had come for the dance, Scarlett was asked for her to wear the same dress and sing her song at the dance. So Scarlett packed her suitcase and got into her dads truck and headed out to the airport. Her father and she were going to go together; there was no way he would let his only daughter go without him. They arrived in Virginia and were escorted to the Sheraton Hotel. They arrived in their room and scarlet was so exhausted that she just flopped onto the bed and fell asleep. "Ah me darling girl. You look like an angel just like ye mom. I miss her so much" Patrick O'Hara tucked her into her bed and went into the other room where he could watch T.V. He thought more about his wife and how much he loved and missed her that he fell asleep from the exhaustion of crying.

Shana got up and noticed her dad wasn't on the other bed so she got a blanket from her bed and covered him with it. As she kissed his forehead, he stirred a little bit and called out her mother's name. Poor daddy she thought. She said a prayer over him and went back to bed.

The next morning came early; Shana was up bright and early. She looked for her dad but couldn't find him so she went downstairs and hoped that she would be able to find him at the breakfast bar, still no father. Then she heard his famous Irish voice coming from the Hotels kitchen. She had opened the door to find her dad making pancakes. "Oh my gosh dad what are you doing?"

"Their pancakes was horrible so I am showing them the right way to make them lass" As scarlet was about to protest , the hotels chef came up and said, " its ok miss I don't mind if he shows me, I like getting new methods and recipes to cooking" Scarlett sighed but grabbed her a plate of her dads delicious pancakes.

After breakfast they took in the sights until it was time to get ready. Scarlett got ready and took her fathers arm as she was led into the beautiful conference room. The room was set up in the theme of once upon a time. "How fitting Shana, they know you are me princess" "oh Dad…" she blushed as she whispered. They announced her to sing, as she sang, a young man looked up and just about to fall over. She was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen and that voice so angelic, he knew he had to meet her, no doubt about that.

As she finished singing, the dance music started. Shana was standing with her father when a very handsome young man came up to her and asked her to dance, she accepted with a blush, and he whisked her away to the dance floor. Scarlett looked at her dancing partner and took in his looks. He was tall and had blond hair, silver eyes, muscular frame, and was wearing his ROTC uniform. She could tell he was a few years older then she but she didn't mind that at all. He looked into her eyes and said I'm Carson and I am very honored my lady that you accepted my dance invitation. You are very beautiful and I am the luckiest man on this dance floor

Scarlett blushed, in her southern drawl she said thank you, their eyes met and they got lost in each others eyes. After the dance they just talked and talked all night, they couldn't get enough of each other. The night was coming to an end; Patrick O'Hara already left and went to the hotel. Carson looked at Scarlett and asked if he could walk her to her room. When they reached her door, He said "Thank you my lady for such an enchanted evening, I know that one day we will meet each other again. You truly are a beautiful and classy lady. I will dream of that moment that I looked into your eyes" at this He bent down and gently placed his lips onto hers. Scarlett had never been kissed before, she blushed and she was about to further that kiss when he pulled away and took her hand in his and said "Until next time my lady…." And with that he had left for the evening.

Scarlett went into her room and saw her dad had fallen asleep on the sofa. She smiled and covered him with a blanket and kissed him on the cheek, at this she heard him say " Shana you must tell me all about your night but right now go sleep lass for we head back home tomorrow,"

"Night daddy, I love you", she hurries to the room she was occupying and sighed and landed on the bed. She rubbed her lips softly with her fingers remembering that kiss. She told herself she would have to write about him in her diary. She got dressed for bed and danced herself to the bed. She fell asleep dreaming of him.
