It's the night of Prom It's a beautiful snowy day in December on the 21st during Christmas break, Caroline is getting ready in her room at the compound. She is wearing a floor length fitted emerald green dress with sequin detailing and a slit up to her thigh. The gold necklace Peter gave her and her brown hair is perfectly curled just the way Peter liked it. As she finishes up getting ready, she hears a nock at the door.

"Come in." I yell from my closet, finishing up getting ready.

Bucky walks in the room and stands in the middle of the room. Caroline opens her closet door and walks out. Bucky tears up looking at her in her dress he has never seen her look so perfect.

"Bucky please don't cry." I say trying not to cry myself, since Bucky never cried.

She walks over to him in her heels and hugs him. He wraps his arms around her and rests his chin on her shoulder. Bucky trys to hold in his tears.

"Bucky, Why are you crying?"

Caroline lets go of him and looks up at his teary eyes.

"You have never looked so grown up before Caroline."

I gently whipped the tears out of his eyes with my thumb.

"You think I look grown up now just wait till I get married."

"Don't say that."

"Your 106 year old a** better live long enough to see me on my wedding day, you hear me. So don't be reckless." I laugh attempting to lightenthe mood so he doesn't start crying.

Bucky laughs.

"Don't forget I am going to be 19 in 7 days."

"Don't remind me. I feel so old Caroline seeing you from a kid and know you are an adult were did the time go."

"You are old and the time went fast for you because you were the one that raised me." I say shedding a few tears, because I have never said those words outloud before.

He whips the tears off my face.

"I guess I did didn't I." Bucky says laughing, in disbelief he raised a kid and did a d*mn good job at it.

"Yeah... and I didn't die in those few months you had me so that's a plus."

We both laugh and I continue to whip the tears off his face.

"Just because I'm an adult doesn't mean I'm going anywhere you still have to watch after me."

"Yeah..."

*long pause*

"We should go down stairs before they wonder why Im taking so long." Bucky says before taking my arm and walking down stairs.

Everyone is waiting downstairs with cameras. As Caroline walks down the stairs and looks up and sees Peter looking at her.

"Hi." I say smiling.

Peter kisses me on the cheek before Pepper, Wanda, and Natasha insist on taking loads of pictures.

"You guys look so cute together." Wanda says before taking what seems like a million pictures.

After Pepper and Wanda have their fun Morgan walks over to Peter and I. I squat down to Morgan's level so Morgan can talk to me.

"You look like a princess." Morgan whispers into my ear making my heart melt.

"Is that so, do you want to take a picture?" I ask even though I knew her answer.

Morgan nods, so I stood up, pick Morgan up, and put the other arm around Peter. They all smile into the camera.
