Aurora plopped down at her desk for first period Science. It had been a long week, but it was finally Friday. Only two more weeks until summer vacation. She pulled out her textbook and notebook, but made no attempt to open either of them. The closer it got to summer, the less motivated she got with school.

The bell rang and Dr. Doppler began review for the final. Finals were the last week of school, but all of the teachers had already begun reviewing. As Dr. Doppler passed out the review study guide, Philip came over the PA for the morning announcements.

"Good morning, everyone! Student council president Philip here! Only two more weeks 'till summer vacation!"

This was met with everyone in the classroom cheering. Even Dr. Doppler let out a small smile.

"As most of you know," Philip continued, "tomorrow is the annual dance/ cheerleading competition. Come support our girls and cheer them to victory."

"That's right, guys," Esmeralda said from her seat in the back of the classroom. "We're gonna kick Camelot's ass!" Dr. Doppler gave her a stern look. "I mean, we're totally going to win in a fair, clean competition..."

Dr. Doppler gave her an approving nod, then turned his attention back to the speak where Philip's voice was coming from.

"One more thing before I end the announcements and let you all get back to enjoying your first period class," Philip was saying.

A couple of people in Aurora's class groaned, but Dr. Doppler ignored them.

"Next Saturday night is prom. It's not too late to get your tickets. See the head of the dance committee, Rapunzel, to purchase them. And, while we're on the subject..." Philip paused. "Aurora, will you go to prom with me?"

Everyone in the class turned to look at Aurora and she blushed."

Dr. Doppler motioned towards the intercom button that paged into the office. "I think that young man is waiting for your response, Aurora."

Aurora slowly stood up and walked over to the speaker. She pressed the button. "I would love to go to prom with you, Philip."

A few seconds later Philip came back over the PA. "She said yes!" he announced.

While Charlotte talked excitedly about going to prom with John Rolfe, Ariel glanced over at the table where Rapunzel was selling the prom tickets. Eric still hadn't asked her to prom and she wasn't sure if he was going to. They had never been to a dance together and she couldn't remember ever seeing Eric at a school dance. Did he even go to school dances? Maybe he had no intention of going to prom. Ariel wasn't sure if that bothered her. On the one hand, going to prom with Eric would be fun, but going to prom without him would suck. So, if he didn't want to go, then neither did she.

"Hey, Ariel!" Aurora greeted, walking up to the table.

"Hello," Ariel replied.

"Mrs. Rabbit said she wants to see you. Something about going over your solo before the concert Wednesday night."

"Oh okay. Thanks, Aurora." Ariel picked up her lunch tray and stood up.

Aurora gave her a smile before walking away and joining Belle at their usual table. Ariel threw away her lunch and made her way to the choir room. When she got there, she pushed opened the door and was surprised that it was completely dark.

"Hello? Mrs. Rabbit?" Ariel called out.

No one replied. Ariel frowned. Maybe Aurora was mistaken. Ariel turned to walk out of the room, but the room was suddenly lit up in a soft glow. She turned around. The lights shining on the wall looked like water reflections. Ariel smiled as she looked around. The whole room looked like she was under water. There was even a bubble machine set up on the floor. A bubble floated towards her and she held out her hand. It popped on her finger tips and she giggled.

"Hey there, little mermaid."

Ariel looked up to see Eric step out from a shadowy corner. She smiled at him. "Hi."

Eric walked over to her and took her hands. "Go to prom with me, Ariel."

She nodded and Eric kissed her. Ariel couldn't help smiling as she felt the bubbles surround them.

"What about this one?" Jasmine stepped out of the fitting room and modeled the dress she had tried on.

Esmeralda made a face. "No way."

Jasmine frowned as she looked down at the blue dress. "Why not?"

"It's too..." Esmeralda circled her hands in the air as she tried to find the word she was looking for. "Poofy."

"Aren't prom dresses supposed to be poofy?"

"Maybe when it's a regular prom, but this is a masquerade ball. You gotta look mysterious."

Jasmine thought for a moment. "Red?"

Esmeralda shook her head. She jumped up from the chair she was sitting in and disappeared back in the store. Jasmine sighed and leaned against the door frame of the fitting room stall. Esmeralda returned a couple minutes later holding a long, form fitting dress. It was dark red with black lace. It had a corset top with off the shoulder sleeves and a small train at the bottom. Esmeralda handed the dress to Jasmine, then held out a pair of black high heeled boots and a black lace masquerade mask.

"Put these on," Esmeralda instructed.

Jasmine did as she was told. After she put the dress on- which fit perfectly- she slipped the mask over her eyes and checked her reflection. She had to admit she looked great. She opened the stall door and stepped out.

"Perfect!" Esmeralda cried out. "You're getting all of that. Let's see Aladdin refuse taking your virginity in that."

Jasmine blushed. "Esmeralda, that's not the goal of prom night."

"Well, considering he'll be leaving a week later, it should be."

Jasmine groaned and pulled off her mask. "Don't remind me."

"Sorry. New subject." Esmeralda reached behind her and took a dress off the rack. "What do you think of this one for me?"

The dress was also long and form fitting. It was black and white striped with a halter top. It was a little unconventional, since it looked more gothic than what Esmeralda usually wore, but it was still pretty.

"It'll look good on you," Jasmine told her.

"Good. Unlike you, I actually want my boyfriend to sleep with me on prom night."

"Phoebus won't be able to refuse you."
