27). "Why can't we spend a normal day together?" (post AFL)

"I still don't understand – why can't we spend a normal day together?" Wes asked, one day late in the spring.

"Oh, dear British boyfriend, it is simply impossible to do anything 'normal' on Prom day," Lucy squeezed her interlocking hand to his a bit tighter as he escorted her from third to fourth period.

Wes, after the Homecoming 'incident,' had an (understandable) aversion to formal dances. Even getting him to go had been an endeavor, but the senior had finally prevailed. Now, her challenge was to get him excited about the day, starting with making a big deal about the pre and post plans for the dance.

"Really?" he asked skeptically.

Lucy had no way of explaining that the Senior year Prom was one of the last times that friendships developed for years would be together… Wes, as a transfer student, especially from another country, couldn't relate on the level everyone else could, and it was Lucy's mission to help him understand.

"I promise, you're going to have a blast."

AN: Procrastinate what? New poll on the profile page. And this scene originally was originally intended to be Sam / Lucy, but I changed my mind. Look for more Prom day fun sometime soon...
