The university gym hall has undergone a complete transformation. Any natural evening light has been blocked out and replaced by hundreds of star shaped lights running along the walls.
Covering the ceiling are more specks of light, blending in with fluffy-looking blue clouds that are also being used as floor decorations, giving an illusion that the celebration is taking place in an enchanting night sky.
There is an empty stage with a microphone stand, lit up by scented candles and a vast crescent moon backdrop. Along another wall is a buffet table with drinks and snacks. The air is filled with perfume and romance.
You spot your friends, all three of them appropriately dressed up for the occasion – even Morgan is wearing a dress. It is simple but sleeveless to accentuate her muscles, her big boots creating a stark contrast that she doesn't seem to mind in the slightest. She looks effortlessly attractive.
Sierra has gone all out, looking like a movie star in her long soft pink dress and astounding jewelry. Her hair is cascading down her shoulders, and her lips have been painted a striking red. You can only imagine how long she spent getting ready.
You almost don't recognize Jordan without his glasses. His getup is plain, but it only makes his broad shoulders and sharp jawline more prominent. With his shirt left slightly unbuttoned at the top and hair unruly as always, he is as charming as ever.
Admiring the three of them for their individual beauties, you realize that you're facing a difficult and significant choice. Who will you invite to dance?

Sierra's eyes sparkle with delight as you take her hand in yours and lead her to the dancefloor. The stage has been taken over by a band with a very familiar lead guitarist – Morgan is in her element as she strums her guitar with expert fingers, and you just manage to spot Jordan leaning over a laptop, helping out with the stage lights.
For several songs, you have Sierra all to yourself. You both have your eyes locked on each other as you laugh and let yourselves loose to the rhythm of an upbeat song, followed by an intimate slow dance to a ballad that lets you study her soft facial features up close.
During a break in the music, you're both called on stage to be crowned couple of the evening. The entire crowd is cheering for a kiss, and you give them the show they're looking for as you lovingly grab both sides of her face, heart skipping a beat when your lips meet hers.
As the evening bleeds into night, she pulls you aside and away from the crowd, even if just for a moment.
Sierra
I wanted to give you this, as something to remember this evening by. It has been more magical than I could've ever imagined, all thanks to you.
With one of her award winning smiles across her lips, she hands you the purple butterfly hair clip that has been a staple of hers throughout the school year. She is practically beaming as you accept it with another kiss, hoping the night will be just as magical as the evening.
