Thank you everyone for all your reviews! I am beyond excited to present to you what happens next! A great majority of you guys want my chapters to be longer and updated more. I will try to make my future stories longer but I can't guarantee I can update more often. I am currently in school right now so I have to keep up with my studies as well as my extra curriculars. We do, however, have a week-long break next week so I will try to write and update next week. Until then, here's the last chapter of my first story!

Caution: I don't own anything.

Chapter 4: Friday (The Dance)

Friday afternoon came and I was beyond excited about being with my one and only. As I slipped on the dress and necklace from Thursday, I couldn't help but remember I brought out my lab coat on Wednesday. Suddenly, those feelings of anxiety came back to me. What if he doesn't feel the same way? What if he dressed in a lab coat for the BioChemistry Challenge and I would be the fool in a dress? What if he doesn't show up at all and it was some sort of joke? What if Finch set him up to this? What if Skeeter showed up instead? So many "what ifs" and for the first time, I didn't have a single clue of the answers. Just to be safe, I put on the lab coat over my dress. I braided my hair, put on my favorite black boots, and headed into the car where my mom was patiently waiting.

As I was entering the main hallway of BOOMS, I thought "here goes nothing. I'm happy in this dress and I like him enough that he'll be happy. If all else fails, I have a backup plan." As a I was rounding the corner, a cute couple all dressed up for the dance made their way in front of me. I looked around for Parker. Maybe he went into the BioChemistry Challenge. "Hey, Val" I heard in a familiar voice. I turned around and saw Parker, dressed for the dance. Gosh, did he looked handsome in a tuxedo. "Look at you, dressed for the BioChem Challenge." There was a really awkward silence between us but I guess I didn't need my backup plan after all. I can't wait until I take my lab coat off!

"So, um. That's a really nice lab coat." I blushed at the compliment.

"Thanks. Nice suit," I tried to compliment back. He seemed a bit flattered as he looked down at his tux and smiled. "Did you think you asked me to the dance?" I just wanted to clarify if he felt the same way.

He brought out a small, plastic box from behind his back, which I didn't notice until now. "Yeah, I was kind of hoping." Yes! Time for my big reveal!

"Actually, I was kind of hoping too." I slipped off my lab coat and placed it on the conveniently placed bench to reveal the dress I was wearing. The smile that formed on Parker's face was enough for me to say that he liked me too. "What do you think? I don't usually do smart, festive, dressy, casual"

"You couldn't look more perfect" was all he could say as I saw he was gazing at me the way I've been waiting for a guy to gaze at me. I guess Parker coming to BOOMS wasn't such a bad idea. I internally did that "excited girl squeal" I've been waiting to try for the first time (like how Andie did when Holden asked her to prom in "Prom-a-Rooney").

He placed the corsage on my wrist, just like I imagined prom would be like. I guess prom came early for me. "Shall we ShaBoom?" He offered his arm to me.

"We shall" I linked with his arm and we went into the dance so I could be a princess in a fairytale with my Prince Charming.

I spent the night dancing, laughing, and having a great time with Parker. He seemed to be pretty coordinated with his feet as we were dancing. I wonder where he learned to dance that like. I felt his hand on my waist and I cringed a little bit but relaxed when I remembered who I was with for the night. I'm not used to a guy touching me there. He twirled me a few times and I could help but feel light on my feet as if my feet never touched the ground. After about 10 minutes of dancing, we went over to the snack table. After we took a break, we were back on the dance floor. I won't go into much detail if what happened afterward so I'll just say that the night was magical.

Our night ended with us walking out of the dance. I was glad we went together. "Thanks for kind of asking me to the dance tonight, Parker"

"Thanks for kind of saying yes"

Then something clicked in my brain to start our little compliment game. "By the way, you're not a bad dancer for a scientist"

"Thanks. You know, I was gonna invent a robot that dances for me but that just seemed rude." He always seemed to know how to make me smile. "So, is there anything else you wanted to do tonight?" He took a few steps toward me. I knew exactly want I wanted to do!

"There is something." I took a few steps toward him.

"We go in that Boom or Doom Chemistry Challenge!" Not what had in mind but I'll take it.

"Challenge accepted!" I finally realized I just said what Parker says when he comes across a challenge, usually something that involves science. "Now I get why you say that!" We run into the Chemistry Challenge, not even knowing where my lab coat went but I don't mind because I'm with my science geek. I guess everything turned out okay after all and I got nervous for no reason. I can't wait until I tell my sister all about my night!

Yay! The story's finished! How did I do? Wait until you see what happens in "Falcon a Rooney"!
