*Prom Night*

Nobody's pov

It was prom night, during the days before, Carly had said to Sam that there was a theme for the event, it was 'Luxury in Venice night', the theme was about being and dressing up extravagant and fancy while being in a Venice setting. Carly suggested that they all surprise each other.. well.. Sam will surprise them because she doesn't live in Bushwell Plaza. Carly was in her apartment getting her makeup ready, she was wearing shimmer bronze eyeshadow since the gold was too light, she needed something darker so she chose bronze, she said she needed to "Shine" while rocking a prom dress on. She wore a long yellow off shoulder A line dress and white 2 inched heels. Her hair was in a headband braid.

Carly's dress:

Freddie ran in the Shay's apartment and immediately closed the door. "My mom is a maniac!" he exclaimed while locking the door, "Why what happened? Not that I don't disagree with her being crazy" Carly asked, she still hasn't turned around since she was still doing eyeshadow, "She's trying to fluff my hair but I don't need it being fluffed! Then she gave me a corsage to give to my "date" that isn't real, I even told her I don't have a date!" Freddie explained while sitting on the couch, "Well that's just sad.. *giggles* anyway, are you ready to go?" Carly turned around, done with her makeup.. Freddie blushed, "Y-you look great! Um where is Griffin by the way?" he asked, "He's already there in the venue, we should go now too so we could see Sam. You look great too Freddie" Carly complimented him. Freddie was wearing red tux and black shoes, and his hair was in a quiff. "That dress looks expensive, how much was it?" he asked, "It was 250 dollars, remember the money Sam gave us that she owed.. yeah I used about half of that, but I already had white heels" Carly answered, she grabbed her purse then they started to head out to the venue.

Freddie's tux:

Spencer dropped them off then went to Sam's house to pick her up since Carly asked him to, like a chauffer. The two brunettes walked in to see everybody so dressed up in a very fancy way and the venue itself looked amazing. "How did the school afford this?" Freddie asked, Principal Franklin walked up behind them, "Well you see, it didn't really cost plenty. Most of the things here were made by a family friend that works on broadway props and he gave me a discount.." he explained, "Ohh okay" Carly nodded her head, "You two look wonderful by the way" Principal Franklin implied while walking away. Griffin then walked up to Carly, he was wearing a black tux and black shoes, the two started to dance on the dance floor. Freddie sighed then he looked around to see Pete dancing with another girl, he widened his eyes but he didn't really want to move and cause drama that other people will see. Just then he felt a ribbon wrap around his index finger very firmly, he turned around to see Sam walk in. His jaw drops at the sight of her. She was wearing a long Maddison Rose royal blue halter designer dress, black 2 inched heels, her hair was in a braided half up half down hairstyle, and surprisingly.. Carly's suggestion to wear makeup worked. She had a light silver and gold shimmer eyeshadow with nude pink lip gloss(I'm just telling you the ones that stood out on her). Alot of people were looking at Sam since they've never seen her wear makeup or a dress with her hair done.

Sam's Dress:

Sam walked up to Freddie and sighed when she saw Pete dancing with another girl, of course it was it was the most daffodil of all girls in school. Freddie furrowed his eyes in concern, "You look beautiful Sam" he complimented her to lighten up her mood, "Thanks... you don't look so bad yourself" she uttered, then look at Pete and back on her phone.. "I mean I expected this to happen, he even texted me about it.. I should've kept asking Carly to make me girlier like wear pink and chiz" Sam added then walked to the rooftop that had atleast 3 couples there but alot more were downstairs dancing, the couples were just about to head down, it was a friend group so they decided to eat what was in the buffet. "Sam you don't need to change who you are.. you look stunning right now, every single day you do. If Pete can't appreciate you on who you are, what your personality is like, then... he doesn't deserve you.. If I were him I'd be dancing with you right now, if I were him I'd keep complimenting you on how stunning and beautiful you look. Also.. since when has Sam Puckett cared about what people think of her? If people don't like you for who you are then.. heck with them, because in my eyes right now.. You are the most beautiful looking out of everyone I've seen here in this venue, and it's not because of the dress or the makeup or the hairstyle.. it's because of who you are Sam, you were determined to go here even if you knew that Pete was dancing with another girl, you kept your head up high even though I know by your face that you were disappointed.. because that's who you are, you don't back down. I'm not saying all this just to cheer you up... I'm saying all this because I know for a fact that you are beautiful on who you are and who you want to be. Not this daffodil type girl.. because that isn't you. What I'm seeing right now, the fact that you didn't try to be all girly and daffodilly yet you still look stunning is what I adore about you and if I were Pete I would say that you're perfect just the way you are, you don't have to change for a guy's expectations, because all I see infront of me is this perfect girl that needs no change.." Freddie implied while smiling and holding one of Sam's hands. 

Sam's brows furrow sadly but she was smiling gently, she was speechless all she could do was tear up, nobody ever told her those things in her whole life, "I'm so lucky that I'm wearing waterproof mascara right now.." she joked then smiled, Freddie chuckled.. "Thanks for that nub, but I'm not perfect" Sam shook her head, Freddie stepped closer "You are to me" he uttered then leaned in to kiss her, she kissed back.. they pull away after 10 seconds, "So are we like a t-thing now?" Freddie asked, "I guess so.. actually these past days I kinda started to.. you know.. like you" Sam stated, Freddie's eyes lit up "Me too" he replied then kissed her head. He took out a corsage and put it on Sam, she smiled then kissed him for 5 seconds. 

Freddie leads her back downstairs to the dance floor, "Can I have this dance?" he asked, Sam nods and they sway to the slow music. Sam's head resting on Freddie chest while her arms were wrapped around his neck, Freddie's hands on Sam's waist, their eyes were closed but they were smiling. Carly was also dancing on the same dance floor as them, she opened her eyes to see her two best friends dancing together pressed against each other. She took a picture of the two dancing, Sam's dress was in the perfect angle to dance in and get a good picture while Freddie's tux really complimented her dress. Carly was trying not to squeal while taking pictures to not ruin the moment. Freddie lifted Sam's chin up with his finger, he smiled then kissed her. Carly started to squeal, Sam and Freddie pull away, they look at Carly taking pictures.. the new couple just laughed and playfully rolled their eyes.

Sam then remembered something, she stopped swaying and Freddie noticed. "Anything wrong Sam?" he asked, "Um.. can I stay the night? My mom has a guy over at the house and she told me to "Not bring my ass back home after prom" and I'll assume Spencer's sculptures are packing the living room right now *groans*" Sam groaned, "Yeah you can stay at my apartment, did you bring clothes?" Freddie asked, Sam nods "Yeah, my backpack's in Carly and Spencer's apartment". Carly walks towards them with a huge grin on her face, "Are you two finally together?" she asked, "Yup we are!" Freddie smiled, Sam grinned a bit, "Yayy! It's still 9pm so let's get some food and celebrate! It's already after-prom which means no teachers or parents, which also means that we can do what we want and let the real party begin!" Carly jumps around, "We're in a Hotel Ballroom, the props and decor is nice but all they have in the buffet is some crackers and hamburgers" Freddie said, "I heard that Emily brought her personal chefs here so everyone has super fancy meals" Sam added, "Spoiled but sometimes generous.." Carly chuckled.

*11:50pm*

They all were so happy after prom, mostly Sam and Freddie. Although it was a pain for the girls to walk with heels while trying to get a cab back to Bushwell Plaza. Sam and Freddie walk in the Benson's apartment.
