Venus was planning a promposal for Sam since he told her he couldn't afford to take her to prom. She was sitting on her bed writing in her notebook, jotting down promposal ideas. So far, she had nothing written down yet. She hears a song playing from her TV and looks over towards it. She sees Cinderella and Prince Charming dancing and singing 'So This Is Love.' She looks on fondly at the screen, wishing she could have a fairytale like them.

While looking at the screen she gets an idea. 'That's it!' she thinks, perking up. She scribbles down her ideas before she can forget them and gets on her laptop to order everything. Her family, while gone at their jobs most of the time, earn a lot of money. They're one of the richest in town, which Sam's insecure about, thinking that she wouldn't like him now that he doesn't have any money anymore. That's how she stays occupied most of the time, spending money. She looks at the notes she scribbled down, and nods at herself, 'it's perfect.'

She texts Sam and tells him to meet her in the park at 8 p.m. for a date. She tells him to wear a suit and to wait at the entrance of the park. When Sam arrives, Mike is there, also in a suit. "What's going on, man?" Sam questions him. He doesn't answer, and goes around Sam to cover his eyes. "It's a secret." Mike whispers to him. Sam nods and lets himself be guided. When Mike stops and uncovers his eyes he looks around in awe.

Around him are fairy lights and when he looks down there is a blanket spread out with a picnic basket tied with a ribbon. There's a teapot and cups on the blanket on either side and lilies in the middle, which are his favorite flowers. He looks to the side and sees the pond, moonlight shining in the reflection. When he hears music, he turns his head and loses his breath.

Venus stands there in a beautiful vintage dress with her hair done up all pretty. When she sees him looking at her, she smiles happily. She opens her mouth to sing, starting to walk to him slowly.

So This Is Love - Venus

When she reaches him in the middle of the song, she curtsies, and he bows with a goofy smile on his face. When they come up from their bows, Sam offers his hand towards her, and she takes it. They start swaying back and forth when she sings again. Sam looks down at her with a loving smile the whole time, eyes shining with tears.

When the music stops and she stops singing, Sam leans down and kisses her passionately, shedding a tear. "You did this all for me?" He asks breathlessly, when he leans back from the kiss. She nods at him with a shy smile. "Go to prom with me?" She asks him quietly, not wanting to break the atmosphere. "Yeah... okay." He whispers to her. She takes his hand and leads him down to the blankets, sitting on the other side of him.

"Do you like it?" He asks him nervously. He looks around at what she did and looks back at her with a wide smile. "I love it. This is the most romantic thing anyone's ever done for me." He tells her, his eyes shining with tears again. "Don't cry, baby." She tells him. "I'm not." He says, wiping at his eyes to hide the tears. "It's okay." She says, taking a hold of his hand, smiling at him gently.

"You deserve this. You've been through so much lately, and you've been nothing but kind. You are an amazing person Sam Evans, and this is just the beginning of me showing you. I love you to the moon and back and- and..." She trails off as she can't help but cry seeing Sam crying. She gets up and walks to his side of the blanket and gathers him in a hug. "I love you so much." Sam tells her between sobs. "I love you too." She tells him.

When Venus wakes up the next morning, she rolls over and sees Sam next to her sleeping. He looks beautiful in the morning sun. She runs her fingers through his messy hair, smoothing it out and waking him up simultaneously. "Hm." He hums, scrunching his nose up. "Wake up." She sings softly, running her fingers across his arm. He opens one eye and looks at her, then closes his eyes again before stretching. He turns to look at her, smiling. "Good morning, lovely" He tells her, Venus blushing at his morning voice.
