A/N: I'm glad to see you guys are eager to find out what happens next. :) I had a lot of fun writing these next couple of scenes, so I hope you enjoy!

Also, to those of you wondering about a Natalina kiss... I guess you'll just have to wait and see what happens. :P

Rosalina's POV

Just seconds after Nat leaves, the last person I want to see right now comes over and sits down.

"Oh hey Rosalina," Patrice greets, sitting down at the table. "Doesn't this room look amazing? I did most of the decorations."

I am about to correct her, but then I decide to ask her something else. "Yeah, it's nice," I mumble. "So Patrice, who's your date?"

"Wade Killgallen, duh," Patrice answers, as if she wasn't there when Wade asked me to prom. Patrice looks over at Wade and waves at him, but he's talking to his friends and he doesn't even notice her.

"Does he know he's your date?" I ask, laughing to myself.

"Of course he does, silly," she replies, "Everybody wanted to go to prom with me. And why wouldn't they? I'm the most popular freshman in the class."

"Nat didn't want to go with you," I mutter under my breath, but Patrice hears.

"Oh please, Nat's just going with you because it's good publicity for your band," she says harshly, "You didn't hear him when he begged me to go with him to the prom. Luckily for you, I told him that I was already going with Wade."

Normally, I don't let Patrice get to me, especially when it's obvious that she's telling an outright lie. She's making me really mad though, so I can't help it. "That's not true and you know it! Nat doesn't even like you."

"Of course he does," Patrice says, "You are the one he feels sorry for."

Even though I'm pretty sure it's not true, Patrice's words still bother me. Sure, Nat did ask me to go to prom with him, but that was only after I mentioned that I didn't have a date. Did he really ask me because he felt sorry for me? I was starting to think he might like me, but now I'm not so sure.

I take a deep breath and start, "Patrice… I have tried to be nice to you, but that's obviously not working. So I'm just going to say what everyone's thinking. You think you're so great and that you can just go around demeaning everyone. But if you want anyone to like you, you should stop acting so egotistical all the time."

After I'm done with my rant, Patrice just stares at me blankly. For a second, I feel like she's actually considering my words. But then her facial expression turns lethal and she throws the rest of her punch right at my dress. That's going to leave a stain. I shriek because the punch on my dress is cold and unexpected. "Listen Rosalina," Patrice leans in closely and whispers fiercely, "You better watch it or I will-"

She gets interrupted by Nat who just walked over. "What is going on here?" he asks with a horrified look on his face.

"Oh hi Nat," Patrice says, her voice suddenly sounding like sugar. She stands up from the table and turns to face him. "I never knew Rosalina was so clumsy. She just spilled this punch all over her dress. You should probably stay away from her."

"Patrice," Nat says tensely, "Leave my girlfriend alone." I am shocked to hear him say this. We agreed to go to prom together, but we never said we were going as boyfriend and girlfriend. I thought he just meant we would be going as friends. Whatever the case, I bet Patrice feels pretty dumb now.

"Girlfriend?" Patrice asks with disgust. "Why would you want to date her?"

"That's easy. She's smart, funny, considerate, talented, beautiful, and a whole lot more," Nat responds back. I'm not sure if this is part of some act or if he's being genuine, but I really hope it's the latter.

Patrice seems to realize she's fighting a losing battle so she rolls her eyes and says, "Whatever. I have a hot prom date to get back to." Then she struts away to try and get Wade's attention.

After she leaves, Nat sits down with the two cups of punch. I look at him with a smirk. "I'm your girlfriend, huh?"

"I thought if I said that, Patrice would leave us alone," he explains, handing me my punch.

"Oh. So it's not real?" I say, feeling disappointed by his response.

"It can be real if you want it to be," he replies, looking at me expectantly. I can't believe what I'm hearing. Is he asking me to be his girlfriend?

I grin at him, take his hand from across the table, and answer, "I've wanted it to be real for a long time."

He smiles back at me and says, "Me too."

We grin at each other like idiots for a few seconds, until Nat suddenly asks, "So what really happened with your dress?" I look down and am surprised that I forgot about the incident so quickly.

"I gave Patrice some tough love and she took it out on my dress," I explain.

"And she acts like I'm immature," Nat rolls his eyes. "I'll go get some paper towels," he says, standing up. Within a minute, he returns with the paper towels and hands them to me. I thank him and try to get some of the blue out of my dress. I am unsuccessful, but at least my dress is dry by the time I'm done.

At this point, the music changes to a slow song and Nat stands up for the third time. "So Rosalina, may I have this dance?" he asks, holding out his hand. I'm glad he seems more confident now.

"Yes, you may," I respond with a laugh. I stand up and put my arms around Nat's neck and he puts his around my waste. We sway to the music and I can't help but think about how… right this feels. I've had a couple boyfriends in the past, but I could never really see those relationships going anywhere. Call me cliché, but with Nat, I feel like I'm right where I belong.

After we dance to a few more songs, it's time for the announcement of prom king and queen and the premiere of Nat's "Long Distance" music video.

Nat and I sit down just in time for Patrice to get on stage. "Before the premiere of my new music video, it's time to announce the prom king and queen," Patrice says into the microphone. Somebody should probably tell her that it's Nat's new music video, not hers. "And this year, the prom queen is…" Patrice opens the card and briefly frowns before her lips turn back into a smile, "Me!"

I glance at Nat and he looks just as disbelieving as me. It's pretty obvious that her name wasn't on the card.

Patrice crowns herself and thanks everyone for voting. I wonder if anyone actually voted for her. I would be shocked.

"Okay, and the prom king is…" Patrice 'reads' the next card and announces, "Wade Killgallen!" Now that I can sort of believe. But considering Patrice just announced herself as prom queen, I doubt that Wade was also chosen as prom king. Especially since Wade looks baffled as he walks towards the stage. His friends all give him high fives, but most of the people look just as confused as they did when Patrice crowned herself.

When Wade stands up next to Patrice, she gives him the other crown and says, "Oh Wade, this just proves we were meant to be together."

Wade still looks confused as ever. "Uhhh, who are you again?"

Patrice's face reveals that she is extremely offended. "I'm Patrice, head of the prom committee." Then she brushes off the insult. "You know, I really love your highlights. They came out so nice ," she compliments him as if they're not standing on stage right now in front of everyone.

"They did, didn't they?" Wade replies, seeming to warm up a little to Patrice now. Patrice giggles annoyingly. To Wade and the rest of us, Patrice then announces, "Okay and here is the premiere of the music video by the Naked Brothers Band, the number one hit, 'Long Distance Relationships' starring ME!"

As much as Patrice likes Wade, she can't stand to share the spotlight with anyone. Nat and I laugh as she ushers Wade off the stage just before the music video starts. As the video is playing, I can't help but notice that Patrice has added clips of herself every few seconds.

"Something tells me this isn't the version they'll be playing on VH1," Nat leans over and whispers into my ear.

"Something tells me the same thing," I agree. Patrice is just so full of herself. I remember when Patrice humiliated me out of being in this very music video. She scoffed at the idea of me having to kiss Nat, who was eleven at the time. And then I found out later from Thomas, David, and Qaasim that she actually sent a video in saying why she should be the one to kiss Nat. Now, since she didn't get the part, she just decided to insert herself into the video. I can't believe I ever cared what she thought. If I had gone through with the on-stage kiss, I wonder if my relationship with Nat would have been any different.

We watch for about a minute longer and then Nat says, "I think we're going to go on in a few minutes."

"Let's get out of here," I tell him, repeating my words from a few days ago when we were helping Patrice decorate.

"Are-are you sure? You don't want to miss Patrice's hit song," he replies. For a split second, I actually think he's being serious, but then I realize of course he's kidding. If it was the actual music video, I wouldn't want to miss it. But hearing as Patrice is trying unsuccessfully to sing along with the song, I want to leave immediately.

"I'm sure," I whisper. We both stand up and Nat takes my hand, leading me out of the school gym. We run to the bathrooms to change into our costumes. Now that we're a couple (which still sounds weird to say), I'm even more happy that I decided to be his sidekick.

Thank you for reading! The next chapter will be the last chapter. :( But I'm also working on a story based on the episode Three is Enough, so that will be coming soon!
