One month later…

"Brooke, do you think that we can still find a dress in only a month?" Haley asked.

"We only have a month?" Brooke asked shocked.

One month had already passed by that quickly! Lucas and Nathan still hadn't asked them to prom. Brooke grabbed her English book and shut her locker.

"I think I forgot because the boys haven't asked us out yet. You know?" Haley observed.

Brooke nodded, "Well, we have got to start looking immediately!"

"What about this one?" Haley asked as she emerged from the dressing room.

Brooke giggled, "You look like a muffin."

She scoffed as she pushed down the ruffles, "Well, then, I am going to prom naked!"

They both broke out in laughter. They had been at the store for five hours. Practically every dress in the store, they had tried on or denied because it was way too skimpy.

Brooke tucked a lose strand of hair behind her ear, "Haley, I really think that you should try on the lavender one."

Shaking her head, "Brooke, I don't think that it is my color."

"Try it on for giggles then," Brooke demanded. She shounded like Haley's mother, and that wasn't her inention. The color would be perfect on Haley's skin.

After a few minutes Haley announced she was coming out. Brooke gasped as Haley revealed herself from behind the curtain. The dress was tight up top, but became lose at the waist. She looked amazing.

"It's perfect!" Haley said as she giggled. She felt really pretty in this dress.

"I told you!" Brooke sassed.

"Then, I think that you should get the red one."

Brooke was having a love-hate relationship with that dress. It was gorgeous dress that fit her and flowed from the knees down. It was a mermaid dress and it made her look beautiful.

Sighing, "I know, I should get it, but I think that it might give people the wrong impression of me."

"Since when did we care about that?" Haley called from the dressing room.

Brooke smiled, "I guess, since I have been dating Lucas."

She didn't mean to worry about what people thought of her. she just never felt so in love like she was now. They were only together for over a month but she couldn't help it. It wasn't an easy relationship but she was doing her best. She tried to dress better and become more social for him. She didn't have to change, but she didn't want him to get less than he deserved.

Haley came over and placed a hand on her shoulder, "What's going on?"

"I just don't want people to think that he's downgrading."

"What?" Haley blurted.

"Don't you ever feel like you are way out of Nathan's league. So, you try to do things to make it seem like you are in the same league…"

Haley gave her friend a small smile, "To be honest, I don't give a damn what anyone thinks. Every time I am with him, I think that this is too good to be true. That is what makes us have such a special bond, because we are different and we feel something together."

Brooke nodded, "It's like, you feel like the luckiest girl in the world because you almost don't deserve each other."

"Exactly. So, who cares about anyone else when we are happy," Haley reminded.

Brooke smiled, "That's true. So, I am going to get the red dress!"

Brooke made her way to the River Court. Lucas wanted her to meet him there so they could talk. Apparently, he wanted to brush up on his free throws. Brooke parked. There was a soft glow in the distance.

She got out of the car and covered her mouth. There were candles on the table, he was holding roses, and there was a sign that said 'Prom?'

He walked over to her and handed her the roses, "Brooke Penelope Davis, will you go to prom with me?"

Brooke wrapped her arms around his neck, "Yes!"

They passionately kissed. Brooke was too distrancted by everything to notice that there was dinner on the table. "Hungry?"

She nodded, "Starving. Haley and I tried on dresses all day. So, you need to wear red."

"Can I see it?" Lucas asked as he poured her wine glass with grape juice. He knew Brooke wasn't the type to drink.

"Nope, I want yu to be surprised!"

He chuckled, "Well, I am sure you are going to look gorgeous!"

"I promise you, I will."

"You know why I picked the River Court?" he asked as he shoved some pasta in his mouth. She shook her head. "This is where I spilled my guts out to you. I have never done that before and it made me realize that I was in this for the long haul. I don't picture you like I used to, I see you as mine."

She blushed, "That's cute..."

"You're cute!" he said with a wink.

Brooke couldn't remove the grin on her face even if she tried. This felt like a fairytale, not real life. Who would have thought that she would be having a romantic dinner with Lucas.
