I don't own Reba or any of the character in this story right now. They belong to the writers of the REBA TV show.
I know that I've been gone for awhile, but I've been busy. I love to write and this story is important to me. It's finally back!
The next scene came on. It was the night of Reba's senior prom. The only date that she could find was Terry. Reba wore a green, sleeveless full length satin dress with a v-neck and straps that wrapped around the neck. There was a round pin with many small pearls and a small blue cubic zirconium center attached at the bodice. It revealed some minor cleavage. Reba felt so excited and scared to be wearing something so unlike her. It resembled something that Lori Ann would be comfortable wearing. Mike was there, singing in the band. She felt his eyes on him from the moment that she arrived. He cut in on Reba's slow dance with Terry. Reba smiled and moved into his arms. "You look beautiful. I was wondering if you would like to get up on stage and sing with me and the band," Mike said. Reba nodded. When the dance ended, Mike took Reba's hand in his and led her up to the stage. She sang "Talking in Your Sleep" and then Mike accompanied her in a duet of "You and I". The crowd cheered and Reba took her bow. "I could do this for the rest of my life!" she exclaimed. "I was thinking the same thing." Mike countered. Mike pulled Reba off the stage to talk with her alone. Lori Ann's voice came on to narrate.
Lori Ann's Narration-
Up to this point, Mike and Reba had gone back to being just friends. This was the night when Mike seemed ready to move past being just friends. Reba's parents were out of town. They trusted Reba with Terry. Terry insisted on taking Reba home and told Mike to take Kim home. Mike showed up at Reba's house later and Terry wouldn't let him in. He told Mike to pick just one girl to be with. He didn't deserve Reba unless he was ready to stop seeing other girls. Terry told Mike that he was in love with Reba himself and begged Mike to leave Reba alone. Mike left in defeat. Reba couldn't figure out why Mike didn't come over that night like he said that he would. Terry never told her that he showed up. Mike went to a party, got drunk, and woke up the next morning with Kim. Reba didn't let her emotions show. She just went right back to being friends with Mike. She also let Mike know that she would never be interested in Terry. Mike finally was ready to date Reba. He waited until the night of her 18th birthday.
Reba's parents rented out a hall for their only daughter's 18th birthday. Everyone was there-Reba, Mike, Terry, Brock, Lori Ann, Reba's parents, Parker Reynolds, Reba's other friends, Reba's parents and their friends; even Kim was there. Kim arrived with Brock on her arm. Mike was singing with his band on stage. He called Reba up on stage to sing with him. They sang the song, Dream Lover as a duet. Reba also sang Right Back Where We Started From with Mike and the band. As the song was ending, Mike moved from where he was behind Reba with the band providing her with instrumentals. He moved right beside her. "Can I have the next dance?" he asked as she moved to leave the stage. Another singer from the band took over vocals into the next song. Mike took Reba in his arms. "You better be careful. Kim's going to be really mad," Reba commented.
"We broke up. She's over there with Brock. I'm right where I want to be," Mike responded. He moved in to kiss Reba. Reba met his lips gently with her eyes closed. Her eyes flew open and she pulled away. "Nice move, Holloway! I won't let you use me to make Kim jealous," Reba exclaimed. She pulled away from Mike's embrace and ran out of the party. Mike ran after her. The party was still in full swing. No one noticed Mike chasing after Reba, except for Terry, Brock, and Kim. Reba ran to her car. She struggled to get the car door open.
"You left the keys locked inside your car again, honey." Reba looked back to see Mike standing in front of the car. "I'm not letting you leave like this," Mike stated firmly. Reba's eyes were filled with tears. "Give me the spare key so I can leave now or you can keep standing there so I can run you over once I get in this car!" Reba hissed at him. "Not until you listen to me!" he shouted back. "What do you want?" she asked. "I wanted to tell you that I love you," he said. "What?" Reba responded in disbelief. "I love you. You're the one that I want to be with. Reba Nell McKinney, will you marry me?" he spoke in a softer tone. He closed the space between them and got down on one knee. Reba nodded. "Yes! I love you, too. Get in the car." Reba replied.
