The 3rd Meets the Five (Quintessential Quintuplets Story)

Chapter 14

??? POV

Third: Will you go to the party with me?

[I can't believe Third asked me to be his date to the party. I was so happy. This party will give me the perfect opportunity to ask him to the dance. I'm really glad he asked me. I really hoped he would. I smiled and quickly answered]

???: Yes.

[He just smiles back at me. I could look at that smile for hours]

Third: I'll let you know what type of party it is.

???: Do you have my number?

Third: I have all of yours. I needed them when I was impersonating my brothers.

???: Right. Well, I'll see you there.

Third: Sure thing.

Third POV

[I walked home and breathed a huge sigh of relief. I asked her to the party. See? It wasn't that hard. I walked home and I'm greeted by my brothers]

First: So, who did you ask?

Third: That doesn't matter. It's something for me to know and for you not to.

Fifth: We'll find out eventually. You're the guest of honor. There will be tons of reporters with cameras.

Fourth: That sounds so exciting!

Third: Well, I have to ask mom and dad what type of party it is so I can tell her.

[I called my parents and they told me it was a "black tie" party. So it was fancy. I texted her and let her know. She thanked me and that she would go and get a dress. Honestly, I never thought I'd see her in a dress but I guess there's a first time for everything]

??? POV

[I'm at home with my sisters. They were disappointed that they weren't chosen but they knew that the battle wasn't over yet. There was still the dance. They made me promise not to ask him to the dance. They believe that they should all get a fair chance. I reluctantly agreed. My sisters then took me to the mall to help me pick out a dress. I didn't know what color to get. I could go with pink but it really isn't my style. Blue seems a little depressing. Yellow seems to cheery. Red was definitely too suggestive for a romantic night. I decided to go with white. Therefore I could be ready for anything. We went to get shoes next. I could've borrowed some from my sisters since we're all the same size but they weren't having it. Next was makeup. That went a lot smoother than I thought. I thought my sisters would sabotage me. I texted Third and asked him if there was a dance floor. He responded with "yes." Looks like I'm dancing tonight. I don't care what people say. I'm a great dancer. This night is important though. I have to act mature but not too mature. I'm a kid after all. I need to be careful and not clumsy. There will be lots of people but it won't be a problem since Third is there. The night then arrived and we got a knock on our door. I was dressed and ready to go]

Third POV

[I knocked on the door. I will admit I was very scared to see her in a dress. Then again, I'm not the best with people so anyone being in a dress would bother me. The door is answered by one of the sisters and I walk in. When I enter I see the most beautiful girl in the world. I could seriously get lost in those blue eyes]

???: You better have her back before midnight. No funny business!

Third: Okay. Okay.

[I look at her and smile]

Third: Ready to go?

???: With you? Always.

[I took her hand and led her down to the limo]

Third: You look beautiful.

???: Thank you. I had help from my sisters.

Third: Are they upset?

???: A little but they'll get over it. But let's not focus on them. Tonight it's just you and me.

[When she said those words, I almost wanted to cry. I've wanted a night alone with her and now I got it. This will be a night to remember. We arrive at the building where the party is being held. I will admit that a part of me wanted to leave but she looked amazing. She put lots of work into her outfit. I wasn't going to do that to her. The limo stopped and I got out. Just like my brothers said, there were tons of reporters and cameras. My brothers would definitely find out who it was later. I took her hand and helped her out of the car. Reporters flocked to me]

Reporter: Mr. Poole, you look amazing tonight.

Third: Thank you.

Reporter: How does it feel to be a Guest of Honor?

Third: I don't know. This has never happened before.

Reporter: Well congratulations on being chosen to be the heir. Is this your date tonight?

Third: Yes she is.

Reporter: She's beautiful. What's her name?

Third: Her name is...
