The next day, the Anubis gang didn't have to go to school. They and the others Seniors were allowed the day off to prepare for their last prom in the school. At 10 am, the whole house, minus Victor, were gathered in the dining room, talking to each other and eating breakfast.
Eddie's POV
This was it. This is my first- and probably last- shot at asking Patricia to prom. I got up from my chair and asked everybody to quiet down. Since they knew what I was about to do, they looked at me and stopped talking. I walked over to Patricia and made her stand.
"Patricia, I know everything's a tad bit alright with us already but I have to hear this straight from your mouth" I started.
"What is it slimeball?" she asked, a hint of a smile on her lips. I've missed that nickname.
"Will you forgive me?" I asked, staring intently into her eyes.
"Of course slimeball" she replied, grinning.
"Really?"I asked with disbelief.
"You want me to take back what I said instead?" she joked.
"No!"I exclaimed.I couldn't help but put my arms around her, lift her up into the air, and spin her around. I know Fabian was the one that usually did that but I was too happy to care.
"Thank you Yacker" I whispered into her hair, then held her in my arms for a few more seconds until Alfie suddenly cleared his throat.
"We're still here you know" he joked. I quickly put her down and took her hand.
"Oh and Yacker?"
"What now?" she faked a look of annoyance. Then I got down on one knee and reached into my pocket.
Patricia's POV
When I saw him get down on his knees and reach into his pocket I started to panic. Oh my god what was he doing? Then I saw him pull out a tiny, velvet box and my eyes widened in shock.
"Don't freak out Yacker. I'm not going to propose to you!" he joked. "YET" he added, winking.
"This ring represents a promise. A promise that I will never ever hurt you again and that I will never ever let you go"he said as he opened the box."Patricia Williamson, by any chance, would you like to go to prom with me?" he asked. I could feel myself blushing and turning 100 different shades of red.
"I'd be honored" I replied. He then got up, put the ring on my finger, and kissed me right then and there. After I got over the shock, I started to kiss him back. A series of hollers and sighs erupted from around the room, and the flash of a camera made me pull away. I turned to find Amber smiling triumphantly.
"This is sooo going in the scrapbook!" Amber squealed with delight. We all burst out laughing.
"There's something else I want to give you" he whispered into my ear and again reached into his pocket. When his hand reemerged, it held a tiny little pouch. He opened it and presented me with a beautiful silver necklace. I loved it.
"Oh my gosh thank you thank you thank you!" I squealed and hugged him. The necklace was adorned with a intricately carved heart locket with the word Forever engraved in the back. When I opened it, it contained a single picture- the two of us, arms wrapped around each other and gazing into each others' eyes. I think Joy took this, back when she was going through a photography obsession. It was perfect.
"Okayyy. Anybody feel like going prom dress shopping with me?" Amber suddenly said, which made us laugh all over again.
"Why don't we all go?" Mara said. "Let's leave the guys wherever they're going to get their tuxedos since it's probably near, and we go look for our dresses?"
"PERFECT! I love that idea!" Amber exclaimed. Then we all went upstairs to change and get ready.
