I don't know why I'm here, in my room, worried about my appearance, but I am. I guess it was just a hang out? On Valentine's Day? Sure...
I'm wearing my black and red dress which I wore in Past the Point of No Return for TPOTO last year, and my Christine Daae makeup.
I was TPOTO'd out.
"Rhia, he's here!" My mom calls.
I run as fast as I can in glittery 3 inch heels, and stumble by the door.
"Bye mom." I walk out, seeing Henry dressed up for once.
"No movie tonight." He says, walking forward, hinting at me to follow.
"Good, coz I forgot my wallet." I giggle to myself, feeling free.
"Yeah, me too." He smiles.
"You look like the Phantom in Past the Point of No Return." I smile.
"I asked Ellen what you where going to wear, so I could match." I laugh at his cleverness.
"So, where are we going?" I ask, fiddling with my necklace.
"Somewhere." He walks faster, bringing me along.
"So... No cast?" I look at his perfectly okay leg.
"Nope. Just a sprain." He says.
"That's good." I smile at my finally untangled necklace.
"We are here." Henry point to the park, which was built last year.
"You all are here, too?" I say, looking at all of the couples.
Ellen and Will
Chad and Sofia
Dev and Sandra
Brenda and Ryan
Ella and Alex
Kat and Cody
And Me and Henry
"Surprise!" Ellen says, laughing hysterically and falling off her chair.
"Um... Riiiiiight. Let's not sit at their table." We sit down with and Cody.
"Food?" Henry asks Cody.
"Not yet. They are still coming with it." Cody explains.
"With what?" Kat asks Cody.
"Pizza. Lots of it." He laughs.
"Order up?" The pizza guy says, handing Cody and Will all of the boxes.
"Thanks. Here you go!" They hand the guy the money and he gets back in the pizza car.
"Pizza?" Cody and Will plop the boxes into the tables.

After we eat, it's time to dance. Our DJ, was Ellen's sister: Abigail.
Henry whispers something to Abigail and everyone moves back, while I'm left in the center of the Gazebo.
All I ask of You begins on the speakers.
"Rhia Delia Reinhart, will you take this dance?" Henry kneels down.
I nod and we begin to dance.
It's at the part where they kiss. Is he thinking this too?
"Anywhere you go, let me come too!
Love me, that's all I ask of you!" We sing.
Henry leans in for a kiss, as I accept.
"It's over now, my music of the night!" Henry sings and drops a smoke bomb.
"I still see you." I laugh.
"Yeah. I didn't plan this far ahead." He throws his head back and laughs.
I smile at his weird laugh (Wow, I'm a hypocrite!) and continue dancing.
