A/N- Okay so AJ is 15, takes place a few months after the last story. She is still a Freshmen.
Enjoy….
"Hey mom, welcome home." AJ yelled as Emily walked into the house. She barely made in the front door when AJ threw her arms around her.
"Well, it's good to see you too, but seeing how you just saw me this morning, what's going on?" Emily asked eyeing her daughter. Emily knew something was up.
"What? Can't I just be happy your home?" AJ asked and Emily just raised her eyebrows. "Okay, but just hear me out okay?"
"Spill."
"Okay, so I know you and mom said that I wasn't allowed to date until I am a junior, but I got asked to the homecoming dance and I hoping that maybe…."
"No." Emily said before AJ could finish.
"But mom!" AJ whined.
"But mom nothing." Emily replied, realizing that she had just turned into her mother.
"How come?"
"Because I said so, that's why." I really have become my mother, Emily thought to herself.
"Come on, please. His name is Chris Collins. He is really cute and he is….."
"I don't care how cute he is and begging is not going to change the fact that you are not going on a date with this boy."
"What if we went with as group of friends?" AJ pleaded with her mother. "So that it's not really a date, just a group of friends going to the dance and it just so happens that a few of those friends are boys."
"I don't know…."
"Please, please, pretty please." AJ begged, flashing her bright blue eyes at her mother and Emily knew she was a goner, she had never been able to resist those blue eyes. They were like 'Get out of Jail' free cards for both JJ and AJ.
"How old is this boy?"
"16, he's a sophomore."
"Okay, I tell you what; I'll talk to your mom when she calls tonight and so long as you're going as friends, then maybe."
"Thank you, thank you, thank you." AJ screamed as she threw her arms around her mother again.
"Now go do your homework." AJ stepped back, saluted and then ran upstairs. "Damn those eyes!" Emily mumbled to herself.
Later on that night Emily was sitting on the couch when she heard her cell phone ring, she immediately knew who it was.
"Hey sweetie." Emily smiled as she answered her phone.
"Back at ya." JJ laughed on the other end.
"How are things going in Florida?"
"Pretty good, the President is finishing up his tour of the hurricane damage tomorrow, so I should be home Friday."
"Good, AJ had some pretty exciting news today."
"Oh yeah, what?"
"She got asked to the homecoming dance." Emily paused as she let JJ process the information.
"You told her no right?"
"I sort of, maybe, possibly, might have told her she could go."
"What? Why? I thought we agreed no dating till she was a junior?" Emily could tell JJ was not happy.
"I know, but she said that they would be going with a group of friends, so it's not really a date, and you should have seen her. She was so excited. Plus you know those blue eyes are like my kryptonite." Emily laughed, hoping that JJ didn't kill her. "But I told her that I still had to talk to you."
"Great, so now if I say no, I'm the bad person." JJ huffed. "Well I guess she can go then, but I think we should meet this boy first."
"Okay, I will let her know." Emily said. "And sweetie, I'm sorry. I didn't think there was anything wrong with letting her go. If I thought that it was going to upset you I would never had agreed to it."
"It's okay." JJ sighed. "It's just hard to imagine our little girl is going to be attending her first dance."
"Speaking of the little devil." Emily smiled as AJ came down the steps. "Hey pumpkin do you want to talk to your mom?" Emily asked her and handed her the phone.
"Hey mom." AJ smiled into the phone. "Having fun hanging out on the beach?" AJ teased.
"Don't I wish." JJ smiled back. "So your first dance, unh?"
"So does that mean I can go?" AJ felt her heart skip a beat.
"Yes, but only as friends, not as a date."
"Oh my god, I love you so much. This is great. I cannot wait till call Chris." AJ beamed. "When do you come home?"
"Probably Friday, why?"
"Because I was hoping we could go dress shopping weekend."
"Hey what about me?" JJ could hear Emily ask slightly offended in the background. Both JJ and AJ began to laugh.
"That's funny mom, really funny." AJ said through the laugher. "But seeing how you don't own a single skirt let alone a dress, I think I'll stick with mom." AJ continued to laugh. "Oh and can I borrow the credit card?" AJ asked with huge puppy dog eyes.
"Oh you are definitely your mother's daughter." Emily rolled her eyes as she heard JJ laughing through the phone.
