Prom
Hi. So I know prom isn't technically a holiday but this popped into my head so I'm doing a prom one-shot. Outfits are on my profile. Remember, if you want a one-shot for a certain holiday/event, just put it in ur review or pm me, and I will do my best. *Not all ideas may be done*
Disclaimer: If I owned HoA, we wouldn't have to wait a year in between seasons.
Thursday (Fabian's POV)
We were all gathered in the living room of Anubis House studying for finals when Amber burst into the room, smiling like crazy. "Guess
what?" she squealed, "I talked to Sweetie, and he said we could have an end-of-term prom again." The girls all smiled, while every guy
in the room just groaned. I was nervous about asking Nina again. Nina smiled, "When is it Amber?"
"A week from Friday. So we're all going shopping on Saturday. I'm not ordering a dress online after last year." Amber said this last part with a pointed glare in Jerome's direction. "What happened last year?" Eddie asked.
"Jerome hid my dress and replaced it with a doll's dress."
Eddie chuckled, "Nice." Patricia hit him. "Oww. What was that for Yacker?"
"Because, we went through hell trying to find Amber a dress until Alfie got her real one."
"You better not do that again Jerome. Do you know how picky Amber is when it comes to fashion?" said Mara.
Time Skip 1 hour later still Fabian's POV
After we finished studying, we all headed back to our rooms. I went straight to my computer because I figured out the perfect way to
ask Nina to prom. I got a copy of the picture Amber took of Nina and I at prom last year and put it into a word document. Then I typed
"Prom?" at the bottom. "So, how are you asking Nina to prom?" Eddie asked.
"I'm taking the picture Amber took of Nina and I dancing at prom last year and writing 'Prom?' underneath it. How are you asking Patricia?"
"I'll probably just ask her."
"Word of advice, make sure you're someplace private when you do that. Nina and I got interrupted several times last year before I could actually finish asking her." I told Eddie.
"I'll keep that in mind. And I'm assuming the events of last year are the reason you are asking her with a piece of paper."
"Yeah." I printed out the paper and folded it up. Then I wrote "Nina" on it in a purple pen, because purple is her favorite color.
A few hours later
I was about to go to bed when both mine and Eddie's phones rang. I picked mine up. It was a text from Alfie to all of the boys in Anubis house.
From: Alfie
Get up 6:15 2morro so we can set up r prom invites. Meet me in the kitchen 6:20 Don't 4get! Or I won't help u when aliens invade
I chuckled; only Alfie would mention aliens in a text message about prom.
The next morning
At 6:00 my alarm clock rang. I felt around for a couple minutes before I found the snooze button. I got up and got dressed, and then I
went to wake up Eddie, who was still asleep. After a little while of shaking Eddie and saying "Eddie wake up," I remembered how I got
Mick up on the days he wanted to sleep in. But I figured telling Eddie an Olympic medalist was here wasn't going to work. Then I
spotted the Sick Puppies poster on his wall. I stepped back just in case and said "Eddie, get up, they're giving away back stage passes to a Sick Puppies concert on the radio."
Eddie shot up straight in bed, "What, what station?"
I started chuckling. "Sorry man. I just said that to get you up."
"Not cool."
"Just get dressed. We're supposed to be in the kitchen in 5 minutes." Eddie sighed and got out of bed. I grabbed the invite I made last
night and quietly slipped out of the room and went to the kitchen. When I walked in Alfie was opening up a package of sugar cookie
dough. He rolled it out and started punching out shapes with cookie cutters. When he finished I saw 4 cookies that spelled out "PROM".
He stuck the cookies in the oven and set the timer, then got out vanilla frosting and red food dye. I slipped the invite I made for Nina
under her plate, with just the corner sticking out. When I looked up, I saw Eddie struggling with ribbon and a bracelet.
"What are you doing?" I asked Eddie.
"Trying to get the ribbon tied around this bracelet."
"When did you have time to buy a bracelet?" Jerome asked.
"I actually got it a few weeks ago when we were in town, but I forgot to give it to Patricia."
"Well, your forgetfulness worked in your favor this time." I said. Eddie nodded.
Breakfast (Nina's POV)
I walked to the dining room and sat down in my usual seat next to Fabian when I noticed a piece of paper sticking out from under my
plate. I pulled it out and saw it had my name on it. I unfolded it, and saw a picture of Fabian and me from prom last year, with "Prom?"
under it. I smiled and turned my head to look at Fabian, who was smiling at me. "I'd love to go to prom with you," I said. His smile
grew and before I knew what was happening we were kissing. Well, until Patricia came down and hit us, mumbling something about it
being too early for PDA. Fabian and I pulled apart and started eating breakfast. When Patricia sat down, Eddie handed her a small
object with a note attached to it. She took the note off and unfolded it. After reading it, she gave Eddie the smallest of nods.
Amber, who had just come downstairs, asked, "What does it say?" Patricia handed her the note. Amber read it aloud. " 'Mara told me I
should let you know I think of you as my girlfriend, what better way to do that than prom?' Awww. It's so cute." All of us girls "awwed"
along with her.
Alfie evidently used Amber's statement as an opening, because he swept in with a plate of something and said, "As cute as this?" and
he presented the cookies with a flourish.
Amber eyed the cookies, then said, "They're not raspberry, are they?" Alfie shook his head. "Then of course I'll go to prom with you
boo! And they're very cute." Amber said. She then sat down in her usual spot. Breakfast continued as usual when Joy came down, then
Mara came down. Jerome probably had the simplest plan out of all the boys. He just gave Mara a rose, and asked, "What better time for
a date than prom?" She smiled at him and nodded.
Amber squealed when they were finished, "Great now we can all go dress shopping."
Patricia groaned. "Do we have to Amber?"
Amber glared at her. "Yes." She smiled again. "Al the girls meet me downstairs tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock. We are going shopping."
We all agreed, except Patricia, who just started groaning. "Do I have to?"
"Yes,"Amber replied, "Don't be late."
Patricia rolled her eyes, "Fine."
The Next Day: 8 AM (Amber's POV)
All of us girls were downstairs and ready to go shopping. I clapped my hands, "All right, The cab is waiting. Let's go." We piled into the
cab and headed to the store. "Find dresses everyone, and meet at the dressing room in half an hour, after dresses accessories." Patricia
rolled her eyes and stalked off to find a dress. Half an hour later, we met at the dressing rooms. "Mara first." I said. Mara went into the
dressing room and came out a few minutes later in a red strapless dress with a tilted bow at the top. "I approve," I said, "What do you
guys think?" Everyone nodded. Joy went next, she came back in a light blue strapless dress that went down to her knees. We all
approved. Nina went next, she came back in a cute dark puple strapless dress that fell a bit above her knees with a ruffled skirt and
some sparkles at the top of the dress. "Good work Nina," I said. Next was Patricia. She had a black strapless dress with a peacock
feather design. I was last. I had a pink dress with one sparkly strap crossing diagonally across my top. After we got back in our regular
clothes and paid for our dresses, we went to get shoes and accessories. Mara got white pumps, fake pearl earrings, and a simple white
clutch. Joy got white open-toed heels with flowers on the top, a jangle of silver/grey bracelets, and a white clutch with roses on the
middle. Nina got silver heels and dangly earrings with fake amethysts, Patricia got high heels that slightly resembled boots. "Patricia, that can't be all the accessories you're going to have," I exclaimed.
"They're not. I'm gonna have my tights and my new bracelet," she retorted.
Last was me, I got silver heels, dangly earrings with diamonds and pinkish pearls, a pink clutch, and a rose barrette. We all paid for our accessories and headed back to the house.
Prom Day: 8 AM (Nina's POV)
I headed to the drama room with the rest of Anubis House to decorate for prom. All of Anubis House was excused for the day to
decorate. It didn't really matter since all of the high school got out at noon to prep for prom. Amber turned on some music and then
started opening the bags full of streamers and balloons, and got out the disco ball and banner that said "A Night of Magic We spent the
next hour hanging up curtains in the doorway and hanging balloons and streamers from the ceiling. After we finished that, the boys
cleared the furniture out of the way and then brought in the round tables and chairs. We then put on the tablecloths and balloon
centerpieces, with a sign with the name of the house on it right in front of the balloons. The balloons in both the centerpieces and
hanging from the ceiling were silver, white and gold. The tables were arranged so we still had enough room for dancing. The catering
staff was going to set the tables. We then set up the thrones for the prom king and queen on the makeshift stage. By the time we were
finished, it was noon. We then headed back to the house. We showered and got dressed. After that us girls went into Amber's room to
do our hair. My hair was left in it's natural curls, but Amber put some product in it so it would be smooth and not poof out. Joys hair
was put up into a bun. Amber stuck her barrette in her hair right above her ear and pushed her hair behind her ears. Amber then put
Mara's hair in a french twist. Patricia clipped her green and blue hair extensions in. We got our shoes and accessories on, then we did
our make up.
Prom Night: 6 PM (Nina's POV)
We headed downstairs where the boys were waiting. They all had black suits on with white button down shirts. I noticed all of their
boutonnieres had flowers that matched our dresses. Fabian had a purple flower, Jerome had a red flower, Alfie had a pink flower, Eddie
had a blackish blue flower, and Joy's date, some senior guy, had a light blue flower.
I headed to Fabian, who was gaping at me. "You
look amazing," he managed to say. I blushed.
"You look good too," I said. After Trudy took some pictures, we headed to prom. The
drama room looked better than when we left it. The DJ was set up, the tables looked beautiful, and everyone had on beautiful formal
wear. Fabian grabbed my hand and we started dancing. I glanced around and saw the rest of the house dancing. I smiled.
"What are you so happy about?" I heard Fabian ask.
"Everyone in the house looks happy, we're back together, we're at prom, we don't have a power crazy spirit trying to kill us, how could I not be happy?" I said.
"Good point. I know how to make you happier."
"How?"
"This," and with that, Fabian kissed me. I smiled into his kiss, and I could feel him doing the same. I pulled away after I heard the click of a camera. I turned my head to see Amber with a camera, then I started giggling.
"What's so funny?" Fabian asked.
"I'm giddy. And Amber just took our picture." I responded.
Fabian smiled and shook his head. "You know we are going to have at least two scrapbooks when we graduate, right?"
"Yup."
Amber walked up to the stage and tapped the microphone. "So, this year we will actually be voting for king and queen. So vote away, the box is in the back of the room. Voting will close in two hours. Thank you."
Two and a half later (Patricia's POV)
Slimeball and I were dancing when Amber went up to the microphone again.
"Excuse me, the ballots have been counted, and I would like to announce your prom king and queen. The prom king is… Eddie Sweet,"
she announced. Eddies' mouth popped open and I started laughing at him, then I pushed him to the stage to get his crown. The fun
lasted until Amber announced prom queen. "And the prom queen is… Patricia Williamson." Then it was slimeball's turn to laugh at me. I
reluctantly stomped up to the front to accept my crown. Then it was time for the king and queen dance. Eddie and I wrapeed our arms
around each other and did our best not to roll our eyes at the stupid and cliché act. We then heard a camera click and saw Amber
standing with a camera. I sighed. "That adorable, am I yacker?" Eddie asked.
"You wish weasel. Amber just took our picture for our couple scrapbook." I retorted.
"What scrapbook?" he asked.
"Find it out yourself." I said.
We continued dancing until it was time to head back to the house. All of the couples were walking together. "So, what couples scrapbook?" Eddie asked me again.
"I'm not telling you," I told him.
Eddie turned to Mara and Jerome, "What couples scrapbook?"
"I'm not telling you! Patricia's my roommate. I'm sticking by her," Mara exclaimed.
"You're kidding me, right? I'm not going against the wishes of my girlfriend or your girlfriend. I don't want various liquids dumped on my head." Jerome said.
Eddie decided to ask "Fabina" as Amber calls them. "Either of you want to tell me?"
"Sisters before misters," Nina called.
"Come on," Eddie whined.
"Sucks for you," Nina replied.
Fabian looked at her quizzically.
"What?" she asked.
"Nothing. I'm just not used to seeing this side of you," he replied.
"I'm tired. And I feel like it. Is that okay?" She seemed to be genuinely asking and challenging Fabian at the same time.
"It's fine. I think it's cute." Fabian replied. Then he kissed her deeply. They managed to walk and kiss at the same time.
"Yo, can you stop with the PDA?" Jerome asked.
"I second that," Slimeball called.
Nina broke the kiss and turned around to glare at them, and there was a sudden flash of light, next thing we knew, Eddie and Jerome
had muzzles and twisted their ankles . A bolt of light came down from the sky, and it suddenly transformed into a ancient Egyptian. "I
am the high priestess Amneris. Beware of your powers Chosen One. And do not harm your Osirian, however annoying he may be. He is
your protector, as well as your comrade. He will help you control your powers, using those of his own." She said. She then disappeared.
Nina shrugged, "I guess I have powers."
"So do I." Eddie said.
"Awesome," they both said.
Weasel got a smug look on his face. "I wonder…" then he rubbed his temples and held his hands out towards me. "Tell me about the
couples scrapbook."
My mouth popped open. "Amber makes scrapbooks for every couple in Anubis house. She takes pictures of each couple, and fills a book
with those pictures and other mementos of their time together." Eddie smiled smugly, then frowned when he processed what I just
said. Then he got a downright terrified look on his face when he heard the next words out of my mouth. "We will have very few
scrapbooks, because I am about to murder you for using your powers on me." Then I jumped him and started hitting him. He put his
hands up, "OW, yacker. Stop that."
"I don't think I will. Now apologize."
"Geez, I'm sorry. Now stop hitting me."
I gave him one last smack, then I got off him.
"What have we learned?"
"Don't use my powers on my girlfriend."
I smiled at him, "Good."
So there you have it. Sorry it took so long. And just to let everyone know, I will be gone from June 25th through July 30th.
