Well….this is it….It's the day of the engagement party… I wonder what's going to happen?

Sam woke up startled at the sound of her alarm clock going off. It was so loud that it irritated her ears; she turned it off then rubbed her ears to make herself hear clearer. Sam sat up and looked out the window, she was still nervous about this whole thing and at the same time….confused. Why would her parents and Danny's agree to this, especially when they were only 16?
She took the covers off and walked up to her mirror; she looked at the small crack that was caused by her ring. She had not touched the ring ever since she took it off. Sam let out a deep sigh as a clump of long black hair fell in front of her face; she tucked it behind her ear. She was wearing her casual black nightie with short sleeves and a purple rose in the middle.
"Well….this is it." She quietly said to herself.
Sam kneeled down to the bag next to her door that contained her outfit. She didn't dare to take it out and try it on ever since she shoved it back in there. Sam opened up the bag to see that black dress she had picked out a while ago, she picked it up gently then stood up with the dress covering her chest. A few tears ran down her cheeks at the thought of all this, she threw it on the bed and did not dare to look at it until the engagement party.
She got dressed in her usual outfit with small black boots, black ripped pants, and a short sleeve purple shirt. Her raven hair was tied up with a purple scrunchie, with a small lock of hair tucked behind one of her ears; she also wore plain black stud earrings.
"Samantha, can you please come down here?" her mother called.
Sam sighed then went downstairs to see her mother, she tried to look away but her mother forced her face towards her using her hand which was gripping her chin tightly. Sam groaned in annoyance then placed a hand on her hip as her mother let go of her chin.
"What do you want mum?" Sam asked with an attitude.
"Samantha, we decided to pick out your wedding dress."
Sam's eyes widened with shock and her jaw dropped. "You're kidding. You are not picking out a pink dress for me, that's the worst colour ever!"
Sam's mother giggled with amusement. "Of course not, I've learnt not to choose that for you."
Sam smiled and wiped her forehead with relief, she closed her eyes at the thought of it not being pink. "Phew."
"Instead, we are going to pick out a white dress for you."
Sam's eyes opened wide. Her scream was heard almost throughout the neighbourhood, it shook underneath her mother's small heels.
Sam panted a little in anger.
"What? What's wrong with white?"
"I thought you knew that I was a Goth!" Sam snapped at her mother.
"Well I just assumed you hated the colour pink."
Sam sighed in annoyance and face palmed. "Goths hate any bright colours, including pink!"
Mrs Manson placed a hand over her mouth as she gasped at her daughter's reaction. Her expression immediately changed to disappointed and annoyed.
"Well I'm not letting you wear black at your wedding." She claimed folding her arms. "Black is not permitted at a wedding!"
Sam was confused and angry at this point. "But-but what else am I supposed to wear!? And I am not wearing white! I'm even surprised you're okay with all this, including that I'm wearing a black dress to my engagement party."
"An engagement party isn't as formal as a wedding. An engagement party is practice for the wedding."
"Huh? Look mum, I'm not wearing a bright dress and that's final!"
Sam rushed back up into her room and slammed her door shut; she sat on her bed with her head in her hands. She started to sniffle as she looked at the slightly crimpled dress that lay beside her. Sam picked it up gently and held it against her chest; it did actually look very beautiful on her even though she hasn't tried it on yet.
Then Sam started to feel a little chilly, she turned he head to see Danny by her side in his ghost form, she wasn't surprised that it was him making her feel cold.
"Sam?"
Sam started to sniffle again; she looked away from her fiancé as tears started to fill her eyes. Danny put his hand on her shoulder with hope and sadness, he showed a gentle smile as Sam turned around to see his white hair and glowing green eyes.
"It's okay. I'm having trouble too…"
Sam sniffled a little. "You are?"
"Yes I am…and I am willing to call everything off if you want to."
"But it's too late." Sam exclaimed.
Danny sighed, he had almost forgotten about that. "Oh…right. Are you sure this is what you want?"
Sam tried to smile but her feelings were tying it down. "Why do you think I said yes when you proposed to me?"
"But, we were young then…we were only 15…"
Sam's mouth started to tremble at the thought of it. "But why did you propose to me so early in life? We still had years until something like this would happen."
"I know, but I just…I want to make you mine. Forever."
Sam's smile returned, she hugged Danny in faith. "Danny….you will always be mine."
They looked into each other's eyes then touched lips, Sam could feel her lips numbing at the feeling of Danny's rubbing against hers. She moaned at the pleasure and ran her delicate fingers through his grey, soft icy hair.
Few hours later…
It was time…time for the party. Almost all the guests that had gotten invited were attending besides a few who couldn't make it.
Sam and Danny's parents were fully ready and wore some casual and slightly formal clothes; Danny and Sam were still getting ready in their bedrooms.
Danny looked at his outfit that lay on the bed; he looked at what he was wearing. He thought that his white shirt with red long sleeves and blue jeans would look just fine. But he knew that his parents wouldn't approve of that.
Within a matter of minutes, Danny had rushed his dressing with caused a little tear in his white shirt, he ignored it then combed his hair and later left the room, walked downstairs to see his older sister wearing a casual light blue dress that was knee length, his Dad wearing a somewhat casual tuxedo and his mother was wearing a flurry white top with bootleg pants.
Danny sighed. "Well, let's go then."
"Don't worry so much Danny; it's just your engagement party." Maddie stated.
"Yeah Danny." Jazz smiled as she approached her brother. "Your wedding is not for another year and a half."
"I know, but a year and a half sounds like a minute and a half."
Maddie smiled then guided Danny towards the red compact car. Danny insisted on driving but Jack told him that it could ruin his outfit. Danny rolled his eyes and sat in the back seat with Jazz who had a small blue purse in her lap under her hands that were resting pleasantly on top of it.
At that moment, Sam had just finished putting the backing of her other earring on and untied her hair then waved it around a little. She sprayed it a little with some water then brushed thoroughly twice, a small curl had developed over her shoulder as the clump of air sucked up all the moisture she had sprayed over it.
When she was done, she quickly threw her high heels on while balancing her weight onto the wall of her bedroom. Her mother called out to her impatiently, she yelled back at her then quickly placed the engagement ring back on her marriage finger.
Alright, just to let you know…there's a twist in the next chapter. If you've read what I said in the chapter before this one then you'd probably know.
