Sam stands at the top of the stairs to the dance everyone staring at her. She sees the guy she thinks is Nomad and he looks mesmerized.
She ascends the stairs and stands by Carter who leads her away from the prying eyes and eventually to the middle of the dance floor with no-one bothering them.
"I'll be over there," says Carter before walking off
"PrincetonGirl," says a voice
Sam smiles and turns to the owner of the voice.
"I was right," she says
"About me?" asks Austin who is stood in front of her
Sam nods.
"What gave me away?" asks Austin
"The comment you made about your girlfriend," sighs Sam
"Ex," corrects Austin
"I'm sorry this was a mistake," says Sam gathering her skirts and pushing thought the crowd Austin hot on her heels.
"It's not a mistake," says Austin
"Don't you know who I am?" asks Sam
"No but I want to get to know the girl behind the computer or mask at the moment," says Austin
"Come your Austin Ames football captain, student body president and closet poet you can't be both guys," says Sam
"You were excepting a guy who hangs at Starbucks and drinks latte's and writes poetry and is a librarian or something?" asks Austin
"Not the Librarian," smiles Sam
"Not the librarian," says Austin
"How do I know this isn't a mistake?" asks Sam
"On September 7 I wrote you. I live in a world of people pretending to be something there not but when I talk to you I'm the guy I wanna be. Can you give me tonight well until midnight so the next half hour to be that guy and if you don't like you don't tell me who you and we can forget this whole thing and take it back to cyberspace," says Austin
"Won't that torment you not knowing who I am?" asks Sam
"Yes, yes it will but that is the price I might how to pay," says Austin
"I think I want you to know who I am but not yet," says Sam
"I was excepting a girl who is exactly like you only looking tired for our late nights chats and your work shifts you do for Fiona," says Austin
"How do you know my step mum's name?" asks Sam
"You said it once," says Austin
"And you don't know who I am from that?" asks Sam
"Should I?" asks Austin
"No," says Sam
"Would you like to join me for a stroll outside?" asks Austin
"What about home coming prince?" asks Sam
"I really don't care," says Austin offering Princeton Girl his hand.
"I'd love to," says Sam taking the hand Austin is offering her
"What does he see in her?" asks Shelby
"I don't think he knows it's her," says Madison before going back to talking to Caitlin.
Shelby walks off.
"This can't be good," says Madison
With Sam and Austin.
"A big mac but what does that matter?" asks Sam laughing
"I like a girl with a hearty appetite there's no point taking a girl out to dinner if she is going to order some salad with just lettuce and tomatoes and dressing on the side especially if it is an expensive restaurant plus you eliminated 75% of our class," says Austin
"Any closer to knowing who I am yet?" asks Sam
"No now what was the comment before out knowing you because of Fiona?" asks Austin
As he says this the pieces click in his mind. –Step mum-Fiona-Fiona's Diner-Blonde Girl-Diner Girl as his friend says-Sam.
"If I ask you to dance, does that count as a question?" asks Austin
"There's no music," laughs Sam
"Humour me," says Austin
They start to dance under the gazebo and they do music starts to the side of them, they look and laugh.
"All out of questions?" asks Sam
"Do you believe in love at first sight?" asks Austin
"I'll let you know," answers Sam
"But I've seen you before?" asks Austin keeping up the charade of not knowing who she is
"Yes," replies Sam
"Man, how could I have seen you but not know who you are now?" asks Austin "And your eyes," he adds
"Maybe you were looking but you weren't really seeing," replies Sam
"Ain't that right," he mutters
"You've got one more question left," smiles Sam
"Do you Sam feel like you've made the right choice meeting me here tonight?" asks Austin
"Yes. And do you Aust—wait you know who I am?" asks Sam
"Yeah it clicked in my head when I asked you about knowing you because of Fiona," says Austin
"Then why didn't you say something?" asks Sam taking her mask off
"You're beautiful," says Austin
"Thank you but you're not getting out of answering the question," smiles Sam
"I wasn't trying to. I didn't say anything because I wanted to carry on asking the questions and ask about seeing you before and then I had to say your name in my last question. Now what were you going to ask me?" asks Austin
"Do you Austin Ames ever wanna see me after tonight?" asks Sam
"Oh I'd have to think about that," muses Austin
Sam makes an amused sound.
"Absolutely," says Sam
His face moves forward and then he hears a sharp intake of breath and remembers she's never been kissed before. He looks up into her eyes asking permission and with a slight nod of Sam's head he is granted it.
He leans forward again cupping Sam's face with his hands before brushing her lips with his. As he pulls back and his eyes flutter open he watches Sam's reaction.
Her eyes are closed like she's trying to remember the moment and her fingers are touching her lips like she can't believe it as happened.
A beeping disrupts the moment.
"That's your alarm?" asks Austin
Sam nods bending to lift up the bottom of her dress revealing her phone attached to her shoe.
"I'm sorry," she says as she slips the mask back on "Tonight has been amazing but I gotta go or Fiona will kill me," she says walking backwards out of the gazebo.
"I know who you are know," says Austin
Sam foot catches on the edge of the step and she falls backwards.
An arm wraps around her waist and she flies up into Austin's chest before she lands on the ground.
"Thank you," she whispers
"You need to be more careful Cinderella," whispers Austin leaning down to brush his lips against her.
"Well if I'm Cinderella that makes you Prince Charming and if Prince Charming wants to see me again he has to let me go," says Sam
"Of course," says Austin setting Sam on her feet
"Bye," she whispers
"Bye," he whispers
And she runs off into the night.
"Wait a minute I can give her a lift," thinks Austin andhetakesofafterher.
Only to find her frantically waving at her friend who is making out with Shelby. Well power to him.
"Come on I'll take you," says Austin
Sam smiles and they run out of the hotel missing the announcement of them being Homing coming Prince and Princess.
