Imagine:
It's your one year anniversary with your boyfriend, Dana Vaughns. You don't know where he is or what he's doing, you just know he hasn't sent you the "Good morning, pretty girl" text message you always wake up to. As you meander downstairs to get your breakfast, you see something sticking out of slit at the bottom of your front door. Curious, you walk over and pick it up. It's a note:
"Go to your favorite store." You smile, realizing it's written in Dana's hand writing.
After breakfast, you take a shower and get dressed. You get your big sister to drive you to the mall where she drops you off. You walk to your favorite store.
"Excuse me, Miss. Are you Korrin?"
"Yes, I am. Why?"
"Everything in this bag has been paid for." You look inside to find clothes. "You can use our changing room if you'd like," the clerk says, smiling brightly. You raise an eyebrow, knowing this has to be the work of Dana. You walk back to the changing rooms and put on the cute bright green strapless dress that stops right above your knees. The skirt part is flowy and you spin around, giggling while watching yourself in the mirror. You take out the matching shoes from the bag and put them on; bright green flats with tiny bows on them. The third thing in the bag is a bright green headband which you place on your head. Finally, you take out the note that had been hiding under the clothes.
"Go to the make up store."
As you exit the changing room with all of your original clothes in the bag, the clerk makes a fuss about how excellent you look in your outfit.
"Thank you!" You leave the store and walk to Sephora.
You're immediately grabbed by one of the employees and dragged to a make up chair.
"Lucky lady dressed in green, welcome! You get a makeover you don't have to pay for!"
"Let me guess, it's been paid for already?"
"Yup! Here we go!"
They make you over in a matter of minutes. You see yourself in the mirror: You've NEVER looked this good!!! The excitement is building inside of you as you are handed yet another note.
"Go outside."
The employee points you in the correct direction and you walk outside to see a limousine waiting for you. The driver gets out and opens the door. You step in, but you're all alone. Next to you is a note:
"Don't be sad, you'll see me soon." You smile and wonder what this incredible boy might have in mind for the rest of the day. After about 15 minutes, the driver pulls over in front of a very familiar, very expensive jewelry store. You shake your head in denial as the driver extends his hand to help you out of the car. You walk into Tiffanys and go to the counter.
"Hello, I'm-"
"Here you go! Enjoy, Miss!" You're handed a few small bags...and a note:
"Thought you might like a few sparkles to add to your already dazzling self. Go back to the limo."
Once back in the limousine, you open up the beautiful silver bracelet with the words "Dana and Korrin Forever" engraved on the inside, the sparkling diamond earrings and the matching necklace and put them on. The shock of everything he's done so far has hit you like a brick wall. You're so out of it you don't even realize the limo has stopped again. The driver helps you out and hands you one last note:
"Go inside to the gymnasium."
You look to the driver. "Go get 'em," he says. You smile and walk into...your school? This couldn't be right, could it? Before you can stop him, the driver has taken off and is no where to be seen. You have no choice but to walk into the place you hate.
Once you enter the gymnasium, you see the boy who made the amazing day you've had possible: Dana. You're about to run to him when he points up. It's a screen, and it looks just like one of his notes:
"To the most perfect girl ever, Korrin: I love you so much, my beautiful baby. This song I wrote and choreographed just for you. I really hope you like it. Your loving and dedicated boyfriend, Dana. Happy One Year Anniversary. <3"
The back track starts to play and the tears stream down your face. It's a good thing that make up artist at Sephora used waterproof make up. He sings directly to you as your classmates cheer him and his IM5 bandmates on. When the song ends, he runs to you, grabs you around the waist and holds you for a few moments before asking "How was your day?"
"It was perfect. I love you, Dana Gareth Vaughns." He looks straight into your eyes, and everyone else disappears. Just before he kisses you, he says "I love you, too, Korrin."
