Prom Night
Prom. The most awaited event of the school year for the seniors, the girls, anyway. They get to spend as much money as they can, get the prettiest dresses, shoes and nails, and be happy with it. The guys on the other hand, get dragged along by their girlfriends and stuck in colors they'd rather not be seen it.
Lil and Tommy were standing at his locker. She was holding both of his hands and talking about Prom, like most girls were around this time. She was telling him what color dress she had and whether she wanted him in a tie or bow tie, and what color to wear.
"Pink, Lillian? You're going to make me wear... Pink?"
Lil nodded and smiled up at him "Yes, pink. It's my favorite color!"
He laughed and took one of his hands out of hers reaching up to her hair where the one strand happened to be dyed a pink "I couldn't tell. This strand is always a different color, but usually pink."
She laughed and smacked his hand away "Deal. You're wearing pink."
Tommy sighed but didn't complain. He would do anything to make her happy, and if wearing pink to their senior prom made her happy, then so be it. He gave her a kiss before pulling away "If it'll make you happy."
Phil and Kimi were over at her locker and watched them "Why can't you be like that?"
"Excuse me," he said turning to look at her "I've been like that since we started dating."
Kimi laughed and put her hands on his arms "You've been perfect."
Since Kimi found out about Phil's secret, their relationship has actually gotten stronger. Kimi was freaked out at first, thinking that he was going to end up cheating again if they got in another fight, but he promised her it wasn't going to, and she trusts him. Around the time she found out, Phil showered her in gifts and spent every free minute he had with her, she's not going to lie, she loved it. But their relationship was back to how it was before she found out except they were both a lot happier.
"Phil, what's the worst color I could make you wear?"
Phil thought about it "Orange or yellow." Kimi pulled Phil into a kiss and he pulled away giving her a knowing look "Which one of the colors is it?"
"Yellow."
Phil groaned and put his head against the locker "You're so lucky, Kim."
She raised an eyebrow "How?"
"Because I love you. I wouldn't wear yellow for just anyone"
"I wouldn't want you to wear yellow for anyone else, just me." she said before giving him another kiss.
Phil looked back over at Lil and Tommy, watching them. Him and Tommy put aside all differences for the sake of Lil and were actually become friends. Phil was slowly realizing that he wasn't that bad of a guy and was actually good for Lil. As much as Kimi didn't like him either, she forced herself to be nice and get along with him. "I have a question, and I want you to be completely honest with me."
Kimi nodded, knowing the question has to do with Tommy and Lil. "What is it this time?"
"I don't like to think about this, but do you think they're..." he stopped his sentence and shook his head "No, never mind."
Kimi laughed and shook her head "If you were going to ask what I think you were, no. I don't think they do. Lil would have told me"
Phil sighed in relief and took Kimi's hand heading towards the parking lot. "Are you spending the night?"
Kimi nodded "I do believe so. It would be easier for Lil and me to get ready."
Lil and Tommy met up with them at the car. Tommy said a goodbye to Lil and then waved to Phil and Kimi. Lil got in the backseat and Kimi turned to her "I need to talk to you when we get to your house"
Lil looked at her best friend and searched her face for any sign of something being wrong "What about?"
"You." Lil got nervous, she didn't know why, but someone telling you that they need to talk to you usually makes a person nervous.
When they got home, Lil dragged Kimi up to her room and Phil walked into the kitchen. Lil shut her door and walked over to her bed and sat down, motioning Kimi over "What is it you need to talk to me about?"
"You and Tommy."
"What did we do?"
"I don't know. That's what I want to know." Kimi asked leaning against the wall "Phil asked me today if you and Tommy have ever...Done it. And I told him no, but in reality, I don't even know. I want to know, Lillian! You two have been dating for months."
Lil laughed and shook her head "No, no we haven't. If we did, I would tell you, I mean, you are my best friend. I wouldn't tell Phil though."
Kimi smiled and pulled Lil into a hug "I'm so happy for you, Lil."

Kimi and Lil were up before noon to get ready. Lil did Kimi's hair and makeup, and Kimi did Lil's. By the time they were done it was only three and they had two more hours before they had to make it to their dinner reservations. They walked out of Lil's room and down to the living room where Phil was. He turned when he heard footsteps and smiled "If only you could go to prom like this."
Kimi came walking around the couch and sat next to him "That would be nice. I hate dressing up and stuff" she turned to see if Lil was still in the room and then turned back to Phil "I talked to Lil to find out if her and Tommy have slept together, they haven't. And I'm surprised that he hasn't tried."
Phil thought it over before he shrugged "Maybe he actually cares about her."
Kimi smiled and nodded "I really think he does."
Lil walked back into the room and sat on the other side of Phil "Who does what?"
Kimi shook her head "Nothing."
They sat on the couch for another hour before Lil stood up and pulled Kimi upstairs to finish getting ready. There was a knock on the door and Phil got up to answer it. Tommy walked inside holding his rented tux and set it in one of the chairs. He fell onto the couch "I can't believe I'm wearing pink."
"I'd prefer pink over yellow." Phil said with a sigh.
"What is wrong with you and the color yellow?"
Phil shrugged "I just don't like it. It's an ugly color." Tommy rolled his eyes and faced the TV until Kimi and Lil came down the stairs.
When Phil heard footsteps he turned around, causing Tommy to turn and look. A smile appeared on his face when he saw Lil and he stood up to walk over to her "You look... Beautiful, Lil." he said looking over her.
Phil cleared his throat from where he was standing with Kimi "Keep your eyes on her face, Pickles."
Tommy flashed Phil a smile before turning his attention back to Lil who gave him a kiss on the cheek "Thank you." she pulled away from him and pointed upstairs "Go get ready."
"Where's Betty?" Kimi asked as Phil started walking up the stairs.
Lil and Kimi walked over to the couch "Over at Tommy's. We're going over there for pictures" Lil made a face and Kimi groaned.
They were never ones to like having their picture taken. But this was their senior prom and they promised their parents pictures. Lil stood up and was about to walk into the kitchen but a hand on her arm stopped her. She turned around and smiled "You look good in pink."
Tommy chuckled and adjusted his tie before looking at Lil "Will you straighten this?"
She had requested that he wear a bow tie instead of a regular tie. She reached up and straightened the tie before pulling him into the kitchen.
Kimi had an arm around Phil's waist "They look cute together."
Phil shrugged and looked down at Kimi "You look perfect, Kim."
She looked up at him and gave him a kiss "Thank you."
They waited for Tommy and Lil to come out of the kitchen before they made their way over to Tommy's. When they walked in the parents went on about how good they all looked together and Dil made Tommy and Lil promise that they would look out for UFO's for him.
Tommy watched as Lil talked to Dil. He smiled to himself and realized that one of the things he loves about her is how she gets along with everyone. Dil usually found it hard to get along with someone, but him and Lil got along fine. She turned to look at him and gave him a smile before walking over to him "Are you ready for prom?"
He nodded and gave her a quick kiss before Phil could say anything "More than ready."
Tommy and Lil took one car, while Kimi and Phil took the other. They stopped at the restaurant and had their dinner before going to prom. Lil and Tommy walked in, hand-in-hand, Kimi and Phil right behind them.
Tommy was with Lil the whole time, not wanting to leave her side once. Phil and Kimi were sitting most the time since neither of them like dancing, but would occasionally join Tommy and Lil on the dance floor. Tommy slipped his arms around Lil's waist and pulled her to him, putting his lips near her ear "I'm going to get us some drinks." She nodded and gave him a kiss before moving so she was now with Phil and Kimi.
Tommy walked over to where the punch bowl was and got to cups to get him and Lil something to drink. "Tommy Pickles, you look pretty good in a tux."
Tommy looked up at who was talking to him and immediately frowned "Thanks." She moved so she was closer to him and he stood up straight, getting ready to walk away "I'm assuming you have a date."
"You've gotten so smart, Rachel." Tommy said sarcastically "How could you tell?"
"You're wearing pink. The Tommy Pickles I know wouldn't be in pink on his own. Whose the lucky girl?"
"Lil." he took a step away from her and was about to turn around but she grabbed his arm
"You can stay for a little chat, right? We use to be so close." she said moving closer to him.
Tommy shook his head and tried backing away from her but there was a table behind him "I have to get back to Lil."
"We had a good time, you know? We were the perfect couple at one point." she said running her hand up Tommy's arm. He shook his head, not wanting to say anything.
Lil looked between Phil and Kimi "I'll be right back" she shouted above the music before walking out of the crowd of people. She was going to find Tommy, it shouldn't take that long to get two drinks. She walked over to the table to see Tommy with some girl. He had both his hands on the table but she had her hands all over him, and she was kissing him. Lil slowly walked over to them "Tommy... What are you doing?"
Tommy pushed Rachel away from him and wiped his mouth before looking over at Lil, heartbreak written all over her face. "Lil," he walked past Rachel and over to Lil "I swear to you, it's not what it looked like."
He reached out to touch her arm but she backed away, tears in her eyes shaking her head. She turned around and started walking quickly toward the exit, hoping to lose Tommy in the crowd or hoping he didn't follow at all. She felt betrayed. Heartbroken. She should have believed Phil and Kimi, but she didn't and now she was paying for that.
Phil was dancing with Kimi but stopped and was watching someone. Kimi looked up at him "Who are you watching?" she followed his gaze and saw Lil walking out of the room, crying. Phil started towards the table where Tommy was and Kimi followed.
Tommy was standing there, watching Lil go until a hand was on his shoulder turning him around. He was now face-to-face with no other than a pissed off Phil DeVille "What the hell did you do to my sister?"
