It was prom night and Tara was getting ready with her sister Julie and friend Connie. They were all dressed up and looking gorgeous. Tara had never been to prom before and was nervous, but excited.

As they were finishing up getting ready, there was a knock on the door. Tara went to answer it and was surprised to see Fulton Reed standing there in a black tuxedo with a purple bow tie.

"Wow, Tara, you look beautiful," Fulton said, looking at her in awe.

Tara blushed and fixed his bow tie, "You're not looking too bad yourself, Fulton."

Fulton smiled at her and kissed her cheek, "Shall we go?"

Tara nodded, taking Fulton's arm as they walked out of the dorm room. As they made their way to the gym, they were joined by the rest of the team. All the boys were dressed in suits, which was a stark contrast from their usual hockey gear.

Tara and Fulton walked hand in hand into the prom, surrounded by their hockey team friends. The music was loud, and the dance floor was packed, but they only had eyes for each other. As they danced, Fulton pulled Tara closer, holding her tightly as she rested her head on his broad shoulder.

"I love you, Baby," Fulton whispered into her ear, making her heart skip a beat.

"I love you too, Ful," Tara replied, smiling up at him.

Fulton leaned down and kissed her gently, savoring the feeling of her lips against his. They danced for a while longer, lost in their own world, until the DJ announced that the prom was ending.

As they walked out of the ballroom, Tara looked up at Fulton with a smile. "That was amazing. I can't believe we're graduating in a few weeks," she said.

Fulton nodded, taking her hand. "I know. It feels like just yesterday we were freshmen, doesn't it?"

Tara laughed. "Yeah, it does. But at least we have each other," she said, squeezing his hand.

Fulton smiled down at her. "Always, Bash babe. Always," he said, using one of his many nicknames for her.

As they walked back to Fulton's dorm room, they talked about their plans for the summer and their hopes for the future. When they arrived at his room, Fulton took out his phone and put on a playlist of their favorite songs.

"Shower with me?" Fulton asked, grinning mischievously.

Tara laughed and nodded, following him into the bathroom. As they showered together, they washed each other's hair and kissed under the warm water.

After they got out of the shower, they changed into comfortable clothes and crawled into bed together.

"I had so much fun tonight," Tara said, snuggling up to Fulton.

"Me too, Bash babe," Fulton replied, wrapping his arms around her.

They lay there, talking and laughing, until Tara fell asleep in Fulton's arms. As he watched her drift off, Fulton felt a sense of peace and contentment wash over him. He knew that no matter what the future held, as long as they were together, everything would be okay.
