"You know what I think?" you said to your best friend Maya as you made your way over to your locker. "I think he's waiting until the very last minute, and then he's gonna do the big ask."

"Sure, he is," Maya said sarcastically. "First, there'll be balloons in your locker."

You opened your locker to find a bunch of colorful balloons.

Maya, not looking, continued, "Then, people will hand you roses until you have a big bouquet."

People passed by, handing you roses and moving on until you had a bouquet.

She turned and saw. "What the-"

"Keep making things happen, Maya!" you said.

"Okay, uh... disco ball?" she said.

A disco pall came down from the ceiling.

"Music?"

Romantic music began playing.

"Yogi on skates!"

Yogi skated by.

"Drop a banner-" a banner dropped- "and then Lucas is right there next to you."

Someone came and stood behind you.

"{{user}}-" they began.

"Yes! Yes! I would love to go to the semi-formal with you!" you exclaimed, then you saw that it wasn't Lucas.

"Good, I was hoping you would," the boy said, as your face fell.

You went over and laid down on the bench. Maya's jaw dropped, and she mimicked a narrator, saying, "Meet {{user}}, a swell gal who finds herself in quite the pickle! What will she do? What will she do?"

"When we last left our hero," she continued as you sat up, "she said she'd go to the dance with Charlie Gardner."

"That's me," the boy, Charlie, said.

"Oh, Charlie."

"I can't believe you actually said yes," he said, sitting down next to you. "I waited because I was sure Lucas was gonna ask you, but when he didn't, I figured there was a problem. So I asked you because I think a girl like you deserves to be swept off her feet."

You went over to Maya. "What do I do?"

"Are you asking me?" Charlie stood. "Because, if you're asking me, I say you give me a chance."

You then made up some lame excuse on why you couldn't go, only to find Lucas behind you.

"Wait, you asked {{user}} to the dance?" Lucas stood in front of you.
