"Let's scratch his eyes out with our perfectly manicured nails!" Paulina cried out as she and a bunch of the other girls did a claw motion with their hands as Danny backed up.

"Wait! Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! No, you don't understand, I never actually picked the winner," Danny revealed, stopping everyone in their tracks.

"You didn't? I knew you'd come to your senses." 

"I have, about a lot of things, and for helping me to do that, I decree our Miss Teenage Happy Princess shall be (y/n) (l/n)!" 

Everyone gasped except for Sam and Tuck as Danny walked over and placed the crown on my head before handing me the flowers. 

"I...Don't know what to say, oh wait, yes I do. These things are stupid! Up for a burger at the Nasty Burger? I think we have a few things we need to talk about," I say, throwing the flowers and crown to the ground while wrapping my arm through Danny's. 

"Sure, but you're buying, I mean, this is the twenty-first century." 

All the girls looked down at the crown with wide eyes and mouths agape before their attention turned to Tucker. 

"Fear not, ladies, I'm still accepting date bribes for Miss Congeniality." 

"I'm clawing his eyes Saturday," Paulina said, and Star chimed in. 

"I'm clawing his eyes out Sunday. Who gets him today?" 

The two played a quick game of rock-paper-scissors, and Star won.

 "Ha! You're dead, Foley!" Star started to chase Tucker all around for the rest of the night.

 At the Nasty Burger, Danny and I had just sat down with our food, and for a while, there was an awkward silence. 

"(y/n), I want to tell you something—" 

"Danny, I want to tell you something—" 

We say in unison, cutting ourselves off when we realize it. 

"You go first," I say, and Danny nods before continuing about what he wanted to tell me.

"First off, I just wanted to apologize for the way I've been treating you since the whole Technus incident. It wasn't fair to you. Secondly, I wanted to thank you for helping me come to that realization," He told me with a smile, and I raised an eyebrow.

"But?" 

Danny sighs before grabbing his soda and taking a long sip before continuing. "(y/n) I...I still have feelings for you, and I want us to try again, but I know it's not just about what I want; it's about what you want too, so if you never want to get back together, I'll understand." 

Danny looks down with a sad expression as if he were expecting me to reject him. 

"Danny," I say with a smile, and he looks up at me before I grab his hand and tell him, "I think I'd like that. There are a few things I want for this relationship, though. If we have a problem, we talk face-to-face. I feel like we needed to communicate a bit more, and I also don't want to be ignored by the popular girls or during one of those popularity moments you frequently get, so when I need to talk to you, I expect you to look me in the eye and listen. That's all I can think of for what I want, but like you said, it's not just about what I want, what about you?" 

"All I ask is that you give me a second chance," Danny admits with a small smile.

I smile back before leaning over the table to give him a light kiss when I feel my phone ping. I look over to see two texts from an unknown number.

[Hey, it's me, Dora.]

 Huh, didn't expect them to have phones this quickly. 

I look at the other text before another is sent. It was a picture of Prince Aragon wearing that stupid pink frilly dress, glass slippers, and excessive make-up. 

[I present to you Princess Periwinkle!]

I burst out laughing, and Danny arches his eyebrow as a silent question. I show him the image, and he bursts out laughing with me as I send the text messages to Sam, still laughing.
