Disclaimer: I don't own anything in Milo Murphy's Law. Just waiting for season 3 to come.
As soon as Amanda had gone down the hall Lydia heard Principal Milder come to the microphone. She walked back into the Ballroom in time to hear her.
"Is this thing on? OK, is everyone having a good time tonight?" She waited for the applause to die down. "Good, good. Well, before we go any further...I think we should take the time to really thank the person who helped put together this wonderful evening. Let's hear it for Amanda Lopez!" As the audience applauded, Milder smiled. "Come on up here, Amanda!" Lydia knew she would have to take over quick before anyone noticed Amanda was gone. So she rushed up to the mike.
"Thanks for coming tonight, everyone. Amanda had to rush out, it was a last minute thing, so I'm filling in for her for the rest of the night. But I know she's glad that every one of you managed to make it..."
Amanda ran out the door of the Great Hall and for a moment stopped and looked around, unsure of where to go at that point. She looked down at her clasped hands, realising for the first time just what she did! She looked back at the dance, she actually left. She, the one who put the whole thing together, who was always obsessed with everything going smoothly, who put perfection before everything else, just ran out on the dance she had worked so hard to put together!
All for Milo!
She looked up at the sky. It was supposed to be impossible! You weren't supposed to be in love...really deep down in love..with someone who was so very different from you! Not personality-wise, but physically. He was a carrier of Murphy's Law! And she was always such a perfectionist who had a touch of OCD! She wasn't supposed to fall in love with someone like him!
But she did!
Suddenly she heard a familiar car honk and turned around to see her family's white sedan pull up in front of her with Teresa at the wheel.
"What took you so long, Hermana?" She asked. "Hurry up and get in! You don't want to miss your own band's concert, fine manager you would be if you did!"
Amanda quickly threw open the door and climbed inside. "Concert?" she asked.
"Big outdoor band concert happening right now, Ms. Manager! A fine one you'd be if you didn't show up to it! Here!" She threw the white dress that she had worked on to her. "Gotta wear something nice to it, don;t you think?" As Amanda changed Teresa took her to Milo's house.
"But, Teresa, how did you know?" Amanda asked her sister.
"I had a hunch you would be doing something like this. Been hiding in the parking lot for about an hour waiting for you to come to your senses," she stopped at a red light and turned to her sister. "Now will you admit it? You want to be with that boy, regardless of anything and everything?"
Amanda looked up. "Yes, I do," she confessed.
"Despite his condition? It might not be always perfect, might be a bit chaotic. You've literally grown up with it. You've seen what can happen. You want that anyway, Hermana?"
Amanda looked at her own folded hands on her lap. "Despite his condition...yes! I know now there's much more to him than that! There's no one warmer, sweeter, and kinder. Teresa...take me to his home, por favor?"
Teresa smiled and sat back in her seat. "I knew it! Just listen to big sister!" she laughed a bit and gunned the engine.
Meanwhile at Milo's house, like Teresa said, the last-minute concert she had mentioned was underway. Milo, Mort, Zack, and Melissa were gathered on the porch of the house, making sure they were far away from the trees or the gutters, playing their instruments. Brigette, Sara, Martin, and Neil were sitting at the picnic table. Cavandish, Dakota, and Doofenshmirtz were sitting in various chairs tapping their feet to the tunes. "Forget any school dance, this is where the REAL party is!" Doof said to Dakota, tapping his feet to the music. By the time Teresa had driven up to the house, they were already on their third song.
Amanda looked at the house, then over at Teresa. She smiled. "Go, little sister! Someone's waiting!" Amanda opened the door, then to Teresa's surprise turned and gave her sister a huge hug before climbing out and following the music around the house into the backyard.
As she stepped slowly into the backyard she took in the makeshift stage in the backyard and the band playing their impromptu concert. Milo turned around at the sound of the gate opening and his eyes lit up with surprise and happiness at the sight of Amanda. Amanda happily smiled back at him. Brigette turned and gave Amanda a warm smile of her own as she gestured for Amanda to come in. Milo beamed and nearly dropped his accordian at the sight of Amanda in the beautiful white dress. Fortunately he managed to catch himself in time and smiled sheeplishly at her as he continued with the song the band was just finishing up. Amanda smiled and made her way shyly to the front of the stage as everyone clapped.
Brigette stood up. "We have some refreshments all ready for the entertainment if someone will volenteer to help set up!" Zack and Melissa were quick to volenteer as they came down from the stage. Milo made his way to Amanda.
Milo looked at her with surprise and happiness. "Amanda!" he cried out.
"Hi, Milo," she said quietly. "That was terrific!"
"Thanks!" he checked his watch. "Is the dance over already?"
"No, Milo, I left early."
Milo looked at her with surprise. "Left early? You?!"
"Yes, Milo."
"But why? You're the Head of the Commitees, you're obligated to be there."
"I was, and I did. But...there's someplace else I needed to be right now," she quietly took his hand. "And someone else I needed to be with."
"But, won't you get in trouble if they find out you're gone?"
"Lydia is filling in for me. Besides, everything is going great down there. They don't need me anymore...and I don't need to be there anymore. I don't even WANT to be there anymore. It was getting...boring," she looked into Milo's eyes. "And honestly...all I did all evening was think of you. I realized I didn't even want to be there...if you can't be there with me."
Milo started to blush. "Aw, Amanda..."
"I mean it, Milo," she touched his cheek. "I...really care about you. I realize that you're so important to me. I'd rather be right here next to you then anywhere with anyone else."
"Really?"
"Really."
