The Hollywood Arts 7's limo was the eighth limo to pull up at the red carpet leading to the prom venue: The Mansion. That is what is referred to. Located in Beverly Hills, the huge mansion sat on several acres. There were pools, a 3 hole golf course, tennis courts, a gym, bowling alley, a few gardens, some fountains, and one giant dance hall, where the main party will be. Hollywood Arts had to tug a few strings and pay a substantial amount of cash to get the Mansion, one that movies and shows were filmed at, theirs for the night. It was theirs for their one special night, and they were going to make the most of it.

The 7's limo pulled up, and the cameras had their extra rolls in handy because they were ready to show out. First one out was Tori, in her fire red dress, straps overlapping each other in the upper back. A little bit of her hair was in a bon and flowing freely, with some curls at the end. You couldn't really see her heels, but they were with five straps and encrusted with some jewels. To top it off, she had black stockings with white gloves. She did her best non-fake smile, and all of the poses, then made a beeline for the inside of the mansion.

Robbie and Cat were next to come out of the limo. Cat was the first of them to grace the carpet. Her hair was in a ponytail to the side and she was wearing a sparkling necklace. Just the right amount of eyeliner was applied, and her dress strapless, with what looks to be a light melon color with red dots on it. Simple silver heels completed it, as well as a bracelet on her right wrist. Robbie was dressed in an all white tuxedo to match.

Beck and Jade followed. Jade just walked through without stopping for photos. A navy blue dress with what looked like a dark bracelet on her right wrist, you couldn't really tell. Her hair was in a small bon and the previous two girls, Jade too wore silver heels with purple on them and three circles with amethyst-colored jewels around them. Beck matched with his 3 piece tuxedo, a cream top combo and black slacks with a bowtie. He game a quick thumbs up, Jade glared at him, and he dutifully followed behind.

Trina was next, and she took her sweet time, seemingly making sure every cameraman took multiple photos of her. Almost 20 minutes passed by and a few limos that were stationary started honking, but Trina didn't really care. It was a special night and she wanted everyone to know just how pretty she looked. She went with a classic light green dress with a matching necklace and bracelet. She also went with classic black heels.

"HURRY UP TRINA, DANG!" Andre roared from inside of the limo, rolling down the window. Trina almost tripped over herself as she dropped her purse. Her date was waiting by the door, and the door disappeared inside, arm in arm.

People are already starting to dance, and that dance does not happen for a couple of hours. I'm just going to explore this huge fortress. I'm glad I went out first from the limo; I will get far away from them. I cannot avoid them forever though; I have some singing to do.

Tori ventured into the backyard of the mansion, admiring the pools and surroundings. She could see downtown Los Angeles, in all of its lighted glory. The weather was at a cool temperature, which seemed to improve Tori's morale.

Surely, I'll unreservedly tell you
the words, thoughts, everything
that swayed in the light

I embrace an uncertain feeling
I feel uneasy no matter what
I still don't know now

The rooms in the mansion were like commercial spaces. Across from the dance hall, there was a smaller room, where games were being played and booths were set up. Robbie and Cat had just finished dancing a little bit and were holding hands and they stepped into this room.

"I'm going to get some juice boxes, want some Cat?"

"Kay kay." Robbie walked with a bounce to his step, with set eyes toward the juice bars. Just as he was going to say Two juice boxes!, he sees two glow in the dark booths in the corner, with no one using them. They looked computerized since there wasn't a person at the booths, making Robbie intrigued by them, so he headed in that direction to use them. He stepped inside of one and the electronic sliding door closed.

Hi there, this is a confession booth. Would you like to confess something to someone?

Robbie thought long and hard about it, and eventually decided on touching the yes button. He had the option next to have whatever instrumental be played in the background. He chose the Light Colors instrumental by the singer Lia. The soothing beat blared the entire room, causing everyone to listen, including her. Robbie did not know the instrumental was being played outside like it was in the booth.

Go ahead and tell me your confession.

"Dearest Catherine of Valentine, I must bestow upon ye three words thou hath no spoken to any woman before… whoa that was cool! Oh my bad, let me start that again-

Cat, I know you are not listening to this right now, but I must tell you something that has tugged at my heart ever since we laid eyes on each other...You are a woman of such carefree spirit, living your life your way and not how anyone tells you to. That is what I admire so much about you. You are a woman of indescribable beauty, compassion, and strength. Words cannot describe how happy a man you made me when you agreed to be my date to the prom. I had no plans on asking any other woman because you were the only one on my mind."

"I'll repeat this later on, but I just wanted to tell you this now… Cat Valentine, I love you."

When Robbie exited the booth, he stood face to face with Cat, who looked at him with a shocked expression. Robbie quickly thought back to his time in the confession booth and mentally snapped his fingers- oh my goodness, she heard everything!

"C-Cat how are you," Cat didn't reply, merely dropping her juice box and running off crying. Robbie chased after her, but to no avail because he lost sight of her. He slammed his fist against the wall in frustration.

It was a half hour before Tori was to get on the stage and sing at the prom. There were a couple of bands that did some sets and they were going to finish up soon. She sat on the stair steps leading to a sprawling garden. Tori could not find any strength to get up and partake in the prom activities- she was strongly considering singing her songs and then bolting from the prom altogether.

"Have you been sitting here a long time Tori?" Cat sat next to her good friend, and they hugged. Tori felt something wet on her shoulders- it was Cat's makeup dripping onto her.

"Whoa Cat, your mascara is streaming, are you crying?"

"A little, lets take a walk? I want to see that pretty courtyard." The friends linked arms and walked through the courtyard, seeing the cool gnomes and such. They walked pretty fast and then Cat slowed her walk dramatically, making Tori ask what was up.

"Did you know that there was a confession booth inside?"

"I wouldn't know since I headed straight for the backyard when I came inside."

"Oh why, you should've checked out the room,"

"Yeah, but I did not want to run into Andre-"
"You got to get over that Tori! You'll continue to suffer if you let that bother you. Andre is happy, probably having a good time at prom, and you should be too."

"I suppose. I just don't know why I'm feeling like this, why I am behaving this way,"

"Could it be because you are in love with Andre?" It was Tori who put a hand to cover her mouth. She could not take it anymore, finally letting a few tears stream down her cheeks.

"Whoa your mascara is runny too, here." Cat got a napkin and wiped her cheeks. As she was wiping them, she explained why she was out here and not inside dancing with Robbie- she told Tori that Robbie was acting funny and noticed from afar when they were inside in that room, she said that she saw Robbie leap inside a booth. She heard some beautiful music playing from speakers mounted on the ceilings, and then Robbie's voice saying what he said. Tori immediately hugged Cat, who cried a new set of tears. Tori did not have any napkins, so she improvised by using her arm stocking to wipe Cat's cheeks. She smiled at the two stared at each other. Tori looked at her watch and quickly told Cat that she had to go sing now. They parted with a hug and with that, Tori was off, but then Cat suddenly grabs her arm.
