Chapter Twenty-Five: The Prom! (For real this time!)
All four of the Mews stood in Lio's bedroom, with the door locked so that one sticky-handed little sister couldn't ruin their dresses. Summer was so excited she was jumping around in her heels, clapping her hands happily as she laughed.
summer was wearing a dark yellow dress that had frilly yellow straps and the skirt reached to her knee's and flowed out. Her hair was in crimps with a white ribbon in her hair to hold a tiny plait. Summer wore black high heels that were strappy, just like Von's were. Summer's make-up was light yellow eye-shadow and black eye-liner.
Von wore a knee high black dress that had been long, but was cut short. It had thin, grey shoulder straps and her hair had been put in curls, then she put her hair up with a silver clips, the ends of her curls hanging down, and her fringe had been straightened and put to the right side of her face. Von was wearing, high, black, strappy heels and she wore smoky grey make-up and no lipstick.
Kirona looked a picture in her prom dress. It was a long, elegant scarlet gown that also flowed out unlike Von's. Her shoes were simple sandals and Kirona had a lily placed in her hair. There were two plaits on either side of her head and her smile completed her complexion. Her make-up was some scarlet lip gloss and silver eyeliner.
Lio looked very pretty in her dress. The long, midnight blue gown with the ribbons on each strap and the white, silk sash. Now Lio also had two silky, white ribbons on either side of her head, the ends of the ribbons hanging down. On her wrist was a silver charm bracelet and around her neck was a white, silk chocker with midnight blue lace around the middle and Lily had dangled Lio's crescent moon pendent from it. Her make-up wasn't simpler. She wore see-through lip-gloss and white eye-shadow and black mascara.
Then they heard growling from behind Lio's bedroom door. Summer stared, horror struck.
"It's only Ronnie! She's found a new hobby by growling at my bedroom door... Morning and night. It gets annoying" Lio said, frowning as she unlocked her bedroom door then yanked it open to show a clean, mini version of Lio... But with really messy hair and green eyes. Summer awwed.
"Awww... She's sooo sweet! Can I keep her?" Summer cooed, picking up the freshely bathed Ronnie who squealed happily then tried to knaw at Summer's finger. But Lio quickly snatched her little monster sister away.
"You should see her at dinner time. No you can't keep her! She may be annoying but she is inseprable from me! I'm like her second mommy" Lio said bluntly as Ronnie gave a big nod at everything Lio said like it was so fascinating all of a sudden. Kirona giggled.
"Mommy Lonna! Mommy Lonna!" she clapped her hands and Lio rolled her eyes. Then put Lio on the carpet and she got her friends out of her room, then Ronnie, and locked it. Lio went downstairs with her friends following in a line.
"Come on... Georgia will be taking us in a minute. And Liam will be waiting..." Lio looked at all her friends who were smirking with their arms folded. She turned a deep crimson and turned around as they snorted the giggled behind their hands. Everyone but Von who patted her best friends shoulder gently.
They then left the house, to see no car but a few drunk idiot boys sitting across the pavement and they looked up... Then wolf whistled. Von glared at them while the other girls ignored it... But Summer blushed at the whisteling and a boy stood up and grinned.
"Hey pretty kitty's... Wanna go on a date?" he asked drunkingly and Lio frowned, hand on her hip. Von raised her black handbag. The boy laughed at her move and started to splutter as Von arched an arrow then opened it up and started to search through the (invisible) contents... Then she produced a gun and her friends eyes widened as she pointed it a the boy's forhead.
"You don't really want to make me mad. Or my friends. We have dates... I think. But go. Or die painfully with a hole in your head." Von put it so bluntly and kindly in her natural, evil monetone voice that seemed to freak the boy, his friends and her friends. (Von... Have you gone mental?) I know we are ALL thinking that!
Von watched, smirking, as they guys all ran off, bumbling and stumbling drunkingly as Von brought the gun to her face and smiled at her friends innocently as they stared at the gun in her hands. The Von pulled the trigger and a stick flew out... With a BANG flag included and Summer fell to the floor.
Lio burst into splutters and laughter while Kirona giggled madly and helped Summer up. Von smirked and shoved the toy gun into her handbag and closed it again as she swung the bag strap over her shoulder, still smirking. Hand on hip while Summer found the courage to breathe!
"VON! Don't do that you crazy woman!" Summer spluttered, patting her head then her dress skirt and sighing, wiping imaginary sweat off her forehead when a car suddenly pulled up. Then Lio and Kirona grinned, standing each side of Von behind her and Von suddenly crouched on the ground and took out her gun.
They all did the Charlie's angels position (I know... I'm totally crazy with my ides!) and they burst into fits of giggles when Georgia saw them and frowned at what theywere doing. But at least Summer was giggling away madly at their actions. Von stood up and brushed herself off.
"Oh ha ha ha. Well come on girlies... Let's go!" Georgia ordered as all the giggling girls ran into the car and piled in. Ending up with Lio sitting on Von's knee's and Summer in the middle, Kirona near the left window. Georgia shut the door and ran to the drivers seat, then they were off to the Prom!
"Okay don't start on Liam LIO! We know you think he's drop-dead-gorgeus and all that. But if Kisham knows about you liking him... He WILL practically be like 'Drop-Dead NOW! You are soooo not gorgeus!' Kirona said in a state of giggles as Lio snorted. They were only 3 minutes away from the school where the prom was gonna be held.
Lio looked out of the car window while Von tried not to tickle Lio who was sitting on her. Georgia didn't understand while Lio wasn't sitting next to her in the front. Maybe they had been drinking before they were getting ready. Or they got drunk by laughing too much. (I get like that!)
Then the car stopped and all girls got out, Von pushing Lio off her lap so she was free and she ran out of the car practically! Lio was last out and she saw that Summer was star-struck by all the pretty tinkering lights and fake flowers and ivy wound around two or three near-by tree's. Lio and Von glanced at each other. It was pretty... for a school.
Lio smiled as she watched couples going into the school, arms linked and girls going all gooeys eyed. Lio wished that she would be like that with Liam! But she was too mature to go all gooey and girly. But then she was wearing a dress! The second dress she had worn in her WHOLE entire tomboyish life.
Aall the girls walked into the building and into the candle-lit, glowing, warm hall where round tables stood at the sides and the dance floor was bathed in the light of a disco ball. Lio and her firends stood in the door way. Then they all heard a gasp from a nearby table which belonged to... Laura the cheerleader and her pink-palled friends, hair in bee-hives or buns. Lio stuck out her tongue like Von did... and Summer!
"Oh. My. God. Lionna Winston is wearing a dress!" a shell-shocked Laura exclaimed to the gang at her table and they all stared at Lio. It was perfectly natural to see Summer, Kirona and even Von in dresses. But not Lio as she never wore as much as a skirt. Boys turned their heads and mouths dropped open as they stared at Lio. In a dress.
Lio shrugged and looked around, spying for a table. There was one at the back so Von quickly jogged over to it and plonked her butt in a seat, friends in tow, sitting around the small, white clothed table where there was a small lantern, candly thing in the middle of it. Von grimaced as the candley thing was pink.
It set all of them off grimicing. Then Summer giggled. But she then stared over at the double hall doors and her eyes went wide, her mouth dropped open and her hair covered the left side of her face.
"Summer... What's wrong? Summer?" Lio askeed in concern, patting her friends shoulder. But it was like a virus. Suddenly Kirona went the same, and Von did but without the wide eyes 'I think I'm gonna go to heaven' doey eyed look upon her face. Tthen Von shrugged it off quickly.
Lio heard other girls suddenly wolf whistle and sigh then faint. One girl was yelling stuff at the guys standing in the door way.
"Oh yoo hoo! Come over here cutie! I'll dance with ya!" the girl had called out. Only the populars would go crazy over two guys. 1) David in our school and 2) The hottest guy in the world according to Lio and others... Liam.
Lio turned her head that very second to see that David, Liam and a gang of other boys were standing in the door way. Girls melting at their handsomeness. (If that is even a word) and Lio stared straight over at Liam. Who had his usual, scruffy hair, but he was in a tux. Which made him look handome-er than usual and smart.
Lio's lips flickered. Trying to smile. But then Liam looked around then saw Lio. And he smiled as Lio stood up and they walked over to each other. Summer sighed happily like Kirona. Von smirked and folded her arms.
Lio met Liam in the middle of the dance floor and girls stared at her, wide eyed and open muthed as Lio and Liam smiled, staring into each others eyes. Then suddenly, some slow music started up and Lio stared at the DJ who was smirking and giving her a thunbs up. Lio saw that it was... Georgia! Lio would get her back for this!
"Eerm... Wanna dance Lio?" Liam asked, holding out his hand and Lio gave him a small nod, blushing even though he couldn't see it in the dark hall. Llio gingerly took his hand and put her other on his shoulder. While his other arm wrapped around her waist. Lio turned a deep crmsony colour.
They danced slowly, and soon enough, other's joined the dance and were all slowly dancing to the beat of the music. But Lio and Liam stayed in the middle. Girls were staring/glaring (It RHYMES!) at Lio who was smiling as the two danced.
"You look beautiful tonight Lio. I'm glad I asked to take you now!" Liam grinned and Lio smirked as she stared into his kind, beautiful eyes. She chuckled.
"So you were having second thoughts about taking me? Did you wanna take Kirona? No too old. Or maybe Summer..." Lio started, making him smirk then chuckle as he pulled her closer. Lio turned a deeper shade of crimson, but she put her head on his chest and closed her eyes, breathing in his scent. Boy-ish grass scent. Figures.
"Lio... It's so amazing seeing you... In a dress. I mean. It transforms you. Hey Lio... can we talk outside in the grounds?" Liam asked quietly and Lio gave him a small nod and they walked out of the hall. Then the middle of the dance floor was taken by Kirona and Summer all of a sudden.
"Move along couples! Bestest buddies coming through for a dance!" Kirona yelled as Summer giggled, hand over her mouth as the slow music changed to some heavy metal/rock stuff. Kirona started to dance away madly as boys grinned and admired the tall girl in the middle of the dance floor.
Lio and Liam walked through the grounds, then stopped at a tree under some flickering, twinkly lights around the tree trung with fake flowers stuck around the vines/wires. Liam smiled as he turned to look at Lio who was blushing terribly. He laughed at her red face and Lio suddenly gasped. Then giggled a little.
!Ah! So I have that effect on you eh? Well don't worry Lio! I won't make you cry!" he laughed and Lio smiled, then breathed in, closing her eyes. Next thing Lio knew, Liam's lips were against hers and her eyes fluttered open. But she calmed down at his sudden movement and she fell into her own world, surrounded by roses in her head and fireworks going off. Then she thought she heard church bells ringing. It was a wonderful moment for her.
She finally knew what Liam felt towards her!
'This gentle breeze.
Goes through my hair
The leaves are falling.
Autumns calling.
I'm feeling...
Happy. To be with you...
Summers ending.
And autumn calling.
But winters gonna find it's way
too you... oh you.
But my love, will thaw the ice;
Oh yes it will. And spring draws... near.
I watch you now.
You are here in my arms.
And in my heart.
But the, winter comes to you.
Trying to uce your heart.
But my love makes it thaw...
And the summer wind blows you away,
the autumn flowers ask to play.
But you... wait for the spring.
You wait for me.
You keep your love, in your heart
The words you whisper are so soft.
I take your hand. And you take mine
The seasons are calling us too
Never lose hope of what we have
Never try to find the ice.
Just love the... spring...

Von stared around the gardens as she walked through them. Then she sighed and walked over to a nearby hedge which was tall and cut into a doorway. Through the doorway, gardeny thing was a small porch where small candles were flickering. They were white thank goodness and rose bushes scattered around the sides of the porch and lilies grew up and down the small walls. Von sat on the bench near a rose bush.
"Huh. How boring is it. To be at a prom with no one to dance with." she sighed, closing her eyes. Then she heard a laugh and her eyes opened. Only she saw someone who she thought would never go to her prom. Because he wasn't even human.
"So you think I wouldn't come then eh?" Dareto smirked, staring at her and Von gasped. Dareto was in a tux and looked very handsome indeed. Von stared at him then pounced (not literally) and embraced him and he embraced back, smiling at his little Mew Mew
"Dareto! I thought you wouldn't come to an earth activity! Especially a Prom!" Von cried out, staring up at him as he smiled at her warmly then kissed her gently on the lips and took one of her hands in his. Von put a hand on his shoulder as she gently turned pink. It was nearly invisible! Dareto smiled again and put an arm around her waist
"I would never miss this event. It means I'm allowed to dance with a very beautiful lady. Alone where no one can see us" he said as Von smiled gently and they both started dancing to the music from the hall that was silent and distant. But still they heard it and swayed gently to the beat. Von couldn't help but put her head on his chest and close her eyes. Dareto smiled and pulled her closer to him.
Then Von looked up at him, she was still smiling gently, then she closed her eyes and lifted her head, Dareto brought his face closer to hers and then closed her eyes when their nose'es were almost touching and they kissed, embracing each other aswell as Von felt warm in the embrace. And she felt loved. Like she had never felt it before.
Two girls stood in front of a tree, smirking. Lio had her arms folded as she watched the two lovers, her back against a tree and eyes twinkling. Summer also stared, smiling as she watched the kiss that Ddareto and Von shared together amongst the roses.
Then Kirona's head popped out from behind the tree and she stared at Lio, eyebrow arched.
"You do know that they aren't meant to be together Lio. I mean, he is the enemy and wants to kill us all" Kirona pointed out matter-of-factly and Lio didn't look at her, but gave a small nod, still smirking, arms still folded.
"Oh I know. But Dareto would never hurt Von and Von would never turn her back on us. They'll look after each other. They may still battle when it's an attack. But I think I'll let it slip Kirona. Von needs someone special in her life. I think Dareto is that special someone." Lio said, tilting her head as she watched Dareto and Von dance again. She couldn't help but smile warmly.
"I knew that they were a couple all along." came a voice as someone stepped out of the bushes. Summer, Lio and Kirona all turned their heads to see the person in a knee-length dark-green dress with the skirt flowing out and a diamond, ice pendant necklace around her neck. Her hair was still in it's usual form though!
"Rilo!" Summer cried out, suddenly running up to the small 10 year old and hugging her fiercly. Rilo smiled and hugged Summer back, then gave Lio a high-five. Kirona and Rilo stared at each other for a moment then smiled and slapped each other a high five each.
"Hey you must be Rilo. Tthe one who wanted to stay true her county!" Kirona exclaimed and Rilo beamed then gave Kirona a nod, theb she stared at Summer and Lio again. Then Dareto and Von, kissing again in the moon lit grounds.
"Yep! The one and only! HEY! You got my name right! You said Rilo! You spelt it R-I-L-O. RILO! You didn't say Rolo, you didn't say Rover. You said RILO! Let's spell it together! Or better! Sing it together. Let's go! I'll sing first!" Rilo burst out happily, circling her giggling friends then standing in front of them and twirling
"R is for Rrilo, the cutsy little girl!
I is for Ignorent aliens!
L is for Lousy bums...!
O is for Oranges who like to come alive!
W is for Water that comes to eat you!
A is for Angels who have lost their wings!
C is for Carpets that just sing!
E is for Eating chocolate and cake!
R-I-L-O... RILO! W-A-C-E... WACE! Rilo Wace!" Rilo smiled at her song while the others burst into fits of giggles. But while they were all giggling and Rilo stomping, they didn't notice a certain Summer slouching off sadly as she went to find a bench.
Summer found a bench. Right near the entrance of the school and she sat on it, sighing and picking a nearby lily. She picked another then put the two flowers in her lap and she held up one of then amd twirled it in her fingers. One hand on her cheek as she stared at it with sad eyes. Summer thought about what Lio had said about Von and Dareto.
"Von needs someone special in her life. I think Dareto is that special someone" The words chimed through Summer's head and she sighed sadly, putting the lily back in her lap and closing her eyes then opening them again and looking up at the dark, starry sky. Summer felt like she could see Jupiter, her planet.
"But whose my special someone Jupiter? Who wants to love me?" Ssummer whispered, holding a lily then suddenly throwing it on the ground and she put her hands on wither side of her face and she sighed again. Then let her eyes lift to a small, but pretty lanturn by the school gates. The candle in the lanturn glowed dimly but steadily. Summer sighed again. She didn't smile as she looked at the flickering flame from the lanturn.
"The wind blows now,
in the night.
As I sit here.
Watching away from the light.
There's people around me.
Together, dancing happily.
But I'm all alone now.
Who wants to dance with me?
I wish for it.
Someone to love.
I want a boy who likes me for me.
For someone to talk to, to dance with.
To embrace and laugh, merrily.
But life is too cruel
I will never find him.
He will never be beside me
I can't look away now.
I have to face the facts.
No one cares about me.
I wish for someone,
To hold me when it's cold.
To keep me warm, to keep me safe.
But will that ever happen?
Will that ever come true?
To find the right person.
To find... you..."
Summer sighed as she wrapped her arms around herself as the wind blew and she shivered. Then she felt someone draped a coat around her shoulders and she gasped. Looking up to see kind eyes. Handsome eyes. To see Jacob.
Standing there, smiling and staring at her. Summer suddenly blushed. She had sung in front of him! But Jacob sat next to her and drapped an arm around her shoulders, bringing her closer to his side. Summer closed her eyes. Praying that it was all real. It was.
"Why do you think no one loves you Summer Davies? I mean... Who wouldn't love you" he asked and Summer cringed, she couldn't find the words in her mouth. Her throat was totally dry! Summer just sighed and closed her eyes again, shrugging and shaking her head.
"Is it because... Your mother died and you were left alone. Pretending... To be another person? Is it because Von has someone and so does Lio now. You do know that Kirona, Georgia and I don't have any Boyfriends or girlfriends. But we have something better. Sso do Lio and Von. We all have each other!" Jacob said, all smiley faced as Summer stared up at him.
Summer saw something different. He wasn't the old, dummy, scaredy cat Jacob she knew who she was always hiding behind. No. He was now a stupid idiot, big lummox, soft scentered sweet-heart. Who cared about her. And Summer realised something...
She cared about him too. And she wanted to be with him for the rest of her life. Holding onto his arm. Even though he was two years older than her! Summer still felt... Loved. When he was there. He was going to become... The centre of her world.
And he knew that she was going to become the centre of his world. They stared into each others eyes. Then Summer closed hers, he closed his. And they leaned in...

Kisham glared at Lio, kissing Liam under the starry sky and his glare hardened as the two walked off. He wanted to spit on the ground that Liam walked on. And he wanted to kill Liam aswell! But he wanted Lio all to himself. He had deep feelings for her.
"I'll get you Lio! One way or another... I'll take you with me! I don't know what you see in the human. But he won't be around for long! I can promise that!" he hissed. Then he disappeared as the night went on...
