Friday 4th of May

Prom was just around the corner, it was in 2 weeks. Brittany and the prom committee had settled on a dinosaur theme. It was rather unorthodox but the students seemed to like it.

Santana and Brittany knew they would be going together, they just hadn't formally asked one another. Brittany wanted to do it the proper way and ask her girlfriend to prom. She had a plan.

"Just a little further." Brittany said as she directed Santana through the hallways of McKinley. Santana had a blindfold on and was being dragged by the hands.

She heard a door creak to signal it being opened and she was pulled through. Brittany's hands rested on her shoulders to tell her to stay still. She heard footsteps walking away from her.

"And open!" Brittany called out excitedly. Santana removed the blindfold from her face to reveal Brittany stood with a bouquet of flowers in the empty choir room.

"Are those lillies?" Santana asked as she took in the scene before her.

"Yep! They're the lesbian of flowers!" Brittany giggled. Santana smiled at her girlfriend's way of thinking.

Brittany took a few steps closer and handed her the flowers. She then stepped back and took a deep breath.

"Santana Lopez, as you know the school dance is a couple weeks away and nothing would make me happier than to arrive with you on my arm and spend the whole evening dancing and singing with you. Would you like to go to prom with me?" She asked.

"Of course, I'd love to." Santana replied. "Thank you for formally asking me Miss Pierce." She giggled.

Friday 18th of May

The girls had agreed to get ready separately. They had keept their dresses a surprise so they didn't know how the other would look. It was destined to be a magical evening that they wouldn't forget.

Santana had chosen a red dress to compliment her caramel skin tone and dark eyes. It hugged her tightly around her upper body and flowed out into a ruffled bottom. It had a single strap that sat over her left shoulder. Her hair was split in half, the top was braided and ran down her back, the bottom was gently curled and flowed freely over her shoulders. She completed the outfit with a simple pair of black heels.

She walked downstairs to find her parents waiting for her.

"Oh mija, you look beautiful!" Maribel enthused.

"You look stunning sweetie. You'll be the prettiest one there." Raphael agreed.

"Actually, I'll be the second prettiest, Britt will be the first." Santana corrected.

Her parents beamed at her. They took plenty of photos of her. Then all three of the Lopez family went over next door.

They were welcomed into the house and stepped into the kitchen. Santana anxiously awaited for her date to come downstairs and reveal her outfit.

"Brittany! Hurry up, the prom would have finished by the time you're ready." David called up the stairs to his daughter. He walked back into the kitchen shaking his head with a smirk.

"Coming!" Brittany shouted as she bound down the stairs. She was wearing a white shirt and a white suit jacket. She had a black bow tie and a flowing blue skirt. Her hair was slick back in a braid and hung down her back.
