Tonight's the big night! The biggest day of any high school girl's high school career. Prom Night! Sierra, Cat and I were at the mall getting the final measurements on our dresses so they fit perfectly for each of our dates. The school had announced them allowing the first seniopr prom because of the resent success of the senior play, and would continue the tradition like most schools from now on.

I chose a deep purple dress covered in a tendral and vine motif. It went all the way down to the floor, and the trim was designed to look like vines or tendrals clawing at the dress. It was low low cut, just how Jade liked it. It had wide straps and was made of pure silk.

Cat's dress was pure white, with a single gem just above the breast that stood out. Her dress had no motif, no flash, and went halfway down her calf. It had no strap, and wrapped tightly around her chest. She had become very proud of not ahving to show off alot to impress her date, but she still liked to show a little. The gem was a pure obsidian stoone she had had sewn in. It seemed to contrast the rest of the dress nicely.

Sierra had a coompletely red dress that was low cut, went down to the knee and also no straps. It hugged her curves perfectly. It had no motif, but it did have a pattern at the trim. A long curve that look like a snake trying to eat itself all along the edge of each trim. It was pretty cool.

Trina and Andre couldn't come because of the kids. They were quiet at night, but until nine they were still a handful. I told them we would take lots of pictures for them. It sucked they couldn't come, but parenthood had its responsibiliies.

We paid the store for the final adjustments, left and headed for our cars. It was five p.m. Still two hours before the others would be here to pick us up. They would all be wearing tuxes from what I heard. Even Jade. I couldn't wait to see that.

When we got home, Mom and Dad made us stand and take pictures for them for a whole hour. We didn't protest, wanting to show off the awesome dresses. Cat did a full twirl at one point, which looked like a bride a little bit with the white dress design. I realized then that in two monthes, Her and I would be wearing brides dresses. I had forgotten in all the excitement with the play and prom that our weddings had been planned for two monthes after graduation. That filled me with evven more excitement. I was with the perfect girl, going to the perfect prom, graduation from and awesome school, and getting married soon. Life couldn't get any sweeter.

Then I realizzed another thing. A month after our dual wedding, Syn would leave for the thirty six monthes of SEAL training he had already registered for, and then would would have only a two day leave before leaving for his signed four and a half years of service. I knew Cat would be depressed for a while, but I would be there with her. All of us would. We would be with her until the day he returned to her. I had already warned him that if he didn't make it back, when I died I would haunt his spirit until I scared him alive again. I know that makes no sense, but he seemed to get the idea and thanked me for it.

After the full hour long photo session, we all sat down to wait for our dates to arrive. It felt like an eternity with each second. It was anoother hour before they actually showed up. We turned on the tv too try and entertain ourselves, but it didn't really help. Nothing other than cheesy romance shows seemed to be on. Normally I would like this, but not when I'm waiting for my own romantic night to begin. All it did was make the time seem to crawl even slower.

Finally, after what felt like several eternities, they walked in the door. We all jumped up to meet them, with Cat being the most enthusiastic. Syn had worn his Father's fatigues again, which was just fine according to the school board. It looked veery nice on him, but I was fixed on my Sweet Darkness. She had a tuxedo that fix her so right it should be wrong. I never thought a girl could rock a tux like she did.

"Well hello miss. Ready to go?" Jade asked me as she walkeed up to me. I simply nodded, and we all headed out to the cars.

When we got to the school, Sinjin had some hot techno music playing. Everyone was already dancing so we just hopped right in. It was awesome to dance for once without others watching you trying to critique you constantly. Eventually we got to a slow dance. We all paired up and slowed down.

I wonder who will win the whole prom queen and king thing the school had put together last minute. I figured even though I would really want it to be Jade and me, yoou can't have a female queen. I figured it wwould likely be Syn and Cat.

After another two hours the principal called for our attention.

"Hello Hollywood Arts! Hope you all enjoyed the firsst anual Hollywood Arts Prom, which is only here thanks to the splendedd performance of our seniors in the senior play final, and by the generous sponsorship of our own Syn Moscow." She said as she pointed to all of us. Syn blushed hard, and I guess she must have said more than he had wanted. Cat and I giggled a little at that. "So now we shall present the awards for thee first prom royalty, best actors at the school, and best singers here. first, the singers."

She took out a large envelope with two names in it. When she removed it she seemed to be very pleased with the outcome of the votes. "Tori Vega and Catarina Valentine!" She yelled, and Cat and I rushed to the stage. We accepted a small plaque. She then shued us away and continued onto the next award.

"Our top Actor and Actress are... Syn Moscow and Jadelyn West." She yelled. The brther and sister pair walked up on stage and accepted theirs in much the same fashion we did. They left the stage and braced for the next award. Prom Royalty.

"The Prom Royalty was actually awarded to Catarina Valentine and Syn Moscow, but per their request it has been given to a different couple. Our first Prom Royalty is... Robbie Shapiro and Sierra Johnson!" She yelled. I couldn't believe they had given up such an honor, and given it to Robbie and his girl. I was happy for them, but still a little depressed we couldn't have won. Well Robbie desereved it considering he was always there to help us, and never really got anything in return for the most part.

Him and Sierra rushed the stage and were crown Prom King and Queen. I looked around to thank Syn and Cat for it, but I couldn't find them anywhere. I asked Jade where they went, but she told me they wanted to be alone. I guess I'll just have to respect that.

"So I guess I can't change your mind huh?" I said softly.

"No. I really need to do this. I will return though so don't worry. I will be home." Syn answered as he kissed the top of his head. My nightmare from Christmas morning had started to coem back again and again as graduation came closer, our wedding approached and his departure drew near. It made me cry every time I thought about him leaving. I wished I could make him stay. We had all the money we'll ever need, a wonderful home, and great friends. But this was a matter of family pride, and I would always respect that. Besides, my brother can almost always get in contact with him, being NCIS, and keep me updated.

We were sitting the hall of the school. Robbie and Sierra just got our present of royalty. I looked at him, our gaze matching perfectly, and I just started ccrying again in his arms. My life had gotten so complicated and difficult siince I met him. So much hardship, and stress in my life now. I wouldn't have changed a simgle thing if it meant never meeting him.

After a while we noticed the party finally winding down, so we decided to head back. i pulled myself together, and walked with him to join our friends. I knew they would be with me the whole time he would gone. I would always respect them for that. I could never ask for better friends.

One week later.

"Today we are here to celebrate the graduation of our senior class. It has been a long journey, but this single class of seniors has put a mark on this school that shall remain with us forever. Eight seniors in particular have done more for this school, and shown this school than any other individuals ever to enter our doors. We thank you, and say goodbye as you graduate from Hollywood Arts." Our principle annouced which was our signal to begin cheering. We finally did it. We graduated from the Arts.

I stood there hand in hand with Syn and Robbie, all of us holding hands in a line of our frineds. Jade, Tori and Beck had already been given a upcoming part in a movie in September, and Robbie and Sierra were for his big comedy tour with Rex. He had become purely a stage character now as Robbie had become quite famous as a vent. Andre was also with Tori, Jade and Beck as the musical director for the movie they were doing. Syn and I knew where we were going, and we were prepared for it.

We all headed out to meet our parents in the crowd. Mom gave me a big hug, and congradulated both Syn and I. I saw the other parents do the same thing, but I didn't see Jade's parents anywhere. I guess they really didn't care.

I stayed with Syn the whole time as the crowd began to cheer more and more quietly as we all walked away for the last time of our high school careers. I knew we would be here again someday, but not as students. Maybe as teachers, or parents.
