Hi there!

I am finally done with school which means its time to finally start writing again! Thank you all so much for being patient with me, it means so much.

Prompt from SOPPNATION: Castle asks Beckett to prom in front of the whole school and enlists the help of his friends. Side note, they aren't dating in this one shot. Also, I realize that he would have been Richard Rogers, but for consistency, I just stick with Castle. Anyway, thanks for sending this in!

Any one shot prompts that you guys have sent me will be getting done SOON! Thank you again for being so patient!

Enjoy!

"You know the plan, right?" Rick walked up behind Ryan, his eyebrow raised, keeping his voice down. It was early in the morning, the perfect prep time for his proposal of sorts. He had just enough time to get his friends in order before the craziness of the buses pulling up and the drivers making their way onto the lawn began. He had to time it perfectly; he wanted this to be memorable.

Ryan rolled his eyes. "Dude, yes. I've known the plan for two months now. It's gonna work." Ryan slung his arm around Jenny's shoulder as they walked over to Espo and Lanie who were pulling up to help Castle.

"Yeah, Ricky. This is super cute." Jenny looked at him, giving him a smile. She knew the guys were giving him a hard time for being nervous.

"But what if it doesn't?" He heard an early bus pulling up as a strand of cars pulled into the lot.

"Man, you're still on this?" Espo joined them, knowing exactly what Castle was talking about the moment he joined the conversation. "It's too late to be a chicken shit now!"

"Javi, settle." Lanie pointed a finger at him and then turned her attention to Rick. "Where do you want us?"

"Well she usually gets here at nine and parks in the west lot, so she'll be coming from there." He pointed to the other side of the lawn. Since she has to walk all the way to here to meet you two," Then he pointed at Lanie and Jenny, "And since I want everyone to see that I have the best promposal of the year, we should be right over there." He scanned the front of the building a few times before pointing to a spot right in between the front door and the parking lot where Kate always met up with her friends. "She can't miss it."

Lanie popped the trunk to her car and pulled out four poster boards and handed one to each of her friends. Then she grabbed a bouquet of flowers from the passenger seat and shoved them at Castle. "You owe me."

"I'll base a character in my first book on you." He smiled at her waiting for her response.

"I'll hold you to that." She nodded at him and then went back to talking to Jenny.

"You gotta chill. You know she's gonna say yes."

Rick turned to face Ryan, ignoring Espo. "Time?"

Ryan checked his watch. "8:45."

"Perfect." Rick watched as more cars started pulling in and their friends and classmates mingled onto the lawn before classes started. All of a sudden he felt his stomach flip. He had been planning this for months, and now it was finally the day that he was going to ask Kate Beckett, his best friends and the most beautiful girl he had ever seen, to their senior prom.

He knew he had to make it elaborate, original, and unforgettable; if you looked up those three in the dictionary, there would be a picture of him right there on the page. So he started planning in February, trying to think of something that hadn't already been done. Something that would get people's attention and still be romantic. And with the help of Lanie and Jenny, and convincing Javi and Kevin to participate, they planned the whole thing for this very day.

"Dude, there's her car." Espo slapped him on the back, pulling him out of his daydream. Sure enough, her black Honda Civic was pulling into her normal spot in the west lot, the lawn now alive with early morning gossip and last minute study sessions.

"She's here!" Castle faced his friends, waving his arms at them. "Places! Everyone get in your places!" He ran up close to them and then backed up to look at their display. Each held a poster with an individual letter on it. K. A. T. E. As soon as they held them up, everyone on the lawn turned to see what was happening.

"Esposito, yours is upside down."

Javi laughed, "I know." He gave Castle a look before flipping it right side up.

He glanced over his shoulder one last time. She was slinging her bag over her shoulder while sipping her coffee before shutting the door and making her way over to them. Castle looked at Ryan one last time. "How's my hair?" He ran his hand through it as Kevin scrunched his nose and gave him a thumbs up.

Rick turned around completely now, as Kate got closer and closer, recognition slowly registering onto her face. She squinted at first, slight confusion eminent. Slowly but surely, though, a smile made its way onto her face.

"Rick, what is this?" She gave her friends a once over and then set her attention on him.

A crowd started to form around them as he spoke. "Well, Kate, I'm glad you asked. I see you've noticed these large posters that, huh would you look at that," He did a double take and then looked at her again. "Spell out your name."

"Yes I did." Kate giggled and took another sip of her coffee.

"Well, this isn't just an exclamation of your name. No, I have a question for you. As you know, there's a certain dance coming up, and I was thinking and thinking of the person that I wanted to go with. And I realized that I wanted to spend that night with the most beautiful girl I know."

There was a collection of awes from the crowd that had gathered around them.

"So, Kate." He stopped again, and when he did, all four of their friends flipped their signs over, now revealing P. R. O. M. "Will you do me the honor of being my date to our senior prom?" He held out the flowers to her, waiting for her answer.

A smile spread wide across her face, her cheeks warm. "Yes, I would love to." She took the flowers from him, the entire group around them bursting into applause.

Castle reached out and pulled her into a hug, kissing the top of her head. She leaned back to look at him. "It's going to be great."

This time, she stood on her tippy toes and pecked him on the cheek. She linked arms with him, pulling him in the direction their friends were already headed. "You have no idea."
