(COMPLETED) Everything was fine in Celia's world. She had a nice house, nice family, and a great imaginary friend. But what happens when her imaginary friend becomes real? (Cover made by me)
Today was the day of the prom. Everyone was on a crazy schedule. They were getting ready, doing their hair, picking their outfits, getting manicures, renting suits, and what were Celia and Jack doing? Watching Sherlock, of course. The episode ended and so did the season. "NO!" Jack screamed. "Now I have to watch a billion years until the next episode airs.." He pouted. Celia giggled. "Angry little marshmallow." She whispered. Jack giggled. "Silly girl!" He teased.
Celia's mom walked in. "Hey Jack, Celia needs to go, but she'll see you tonight at the prom!" Celia looked at her mom. "What are you talking about?" She asked. Celia's mom giggled. "Oh honey, we have to get ready! Say bye to Jack." Celia looked at Jack. "Bye." She hugged him. "Bye Celia, I'll see you tonight!" Jack let go and walked out the door.
Celia's mom jumped up. "Okay! So, let's start with your hair!" She giggled. Celia stood up, smiling. "You know, I have never been a girly girl, but I think this is going to be fun." She admitted. Celia's mom hugged her and then the two rushed upstairs to start getting ready.
After an hour of styling, and looking for the perfect hairstyle, Celia ended up wearing this.

"It looks PERFECT, mom!" Celia said, looking at her hair in the mirror. Celia's mom nodded. "Well, when you've been a hairdresser for years, you know a couple of prom styles." Celia giggled. "Now, I've never been to one of these things, so, what comes next?" She asked, curiously. Her mother took her hand and lifted her off the chair. "The outfit, and I have the perfect outfit picked out for you." The two went upstairs and they saw a long, black bag. Celia was curious. She picked it up and looked at her smiling mother. "Go try it on." She said. Celia nodded and went to the bathroom.
She came back with this dress on.

"It's..beautiful!" She cried, twirling around. Her mother giggled. "You look absolutely GORGEOUS darling!" She said. Celia smiled, turning around to face her mom. "Is there anything else?" Her mother shook her head. "Nope, you're all good to go! I'm so proud of you." Her mother hugged her. Celia hugged back. "Thanks mom.." She looked down at the ground as she hugged her mother. She let go. "Mom..I need to talk to you about some things." Her mother nodded. "Okay."
Celia told her everything. Jack becoming real, Anne ripping up her file, and how this was Jack's last day. "I understand if you don't believe me-" "I believe you." Her mom cut her off. Celia looked at her. "You do?" Her mother nodded. "I used to have an imaginary friend. His name was Ryan. He was my best friend, but soon, he started to fade away, and I forgot him. We didn't hang out anymore and he was gone." She gripped Celia's hand. "You believed. You believed in him so strongly that he came to you, he became real." Celia was shocked that her mother understood. "And don't worry about Anne ripping up your file..remember when you applied for Harvard in the summer?" Celia nodded. "They accepted you!" Celia gasped.
"THEY ACCEPTED ME!?" She cried, jumping up. Celia's mother nodded. "Yeah! They did, Celia!" Celia hugged her mother. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Celia's mother giggled. "You're welcome. Tonight, you have nothing to worry about, just have fun." Celia nodded. She was about to leave, when she turned back to face her mother. "Mom..I think I might love Jack." Celia's mother nodded. "Just believe in him, and he will always love you too." Celia nodded. She ran out the door, excited for tonight, and ready to believe.
