Amethyst, your daughter with her striking blonde hair and green eyes, had become quite the sensation at school. Unfortunately, it was for all the wrong reasons—drawing attention for her looks rather than her character. In stark contrast, your own popularity during your youth was rooted in your intelligence, quick wit, and undeniable beauty. But now, the principal had reached out to you once again, and this time, it was about Amethyst's troubling behavior—bullying, skipping classes, and making out with guys in public. Every time you attempted to confront her, she would swiftly dismiss the conversation and run off to her boyfriend's place, leaving you feeling utterly helpless.
During another tense meeting with the principal, who noted your struggles with disciplining Amethyst, he proposed an idea related to the upcoming prom. Given your enduring beauty at 49, he suggested that you leverage the event to influence Amethyst, who, like you, had a history of winning prom queen titles. You listened intently, nodding along as he laid out the plan, hopeful that this might be the breakthrough you desperately needed to reach your daughter.
As prom night unfolded, Amethyst was surrounded by her friends and boyfriend, exuding her usual confidence and making declarations that victory was already hers. The other students shot her envious glares and rolled their eyes, fully aware that she was the likely choice for Prom Queen. Unbeknownst to her, you blended in with the crowd, observing her from a distance as anticipation filled the air.
Finally, the principal took the stage, ready to announce the winners of the evening.
Principal: The Prom King will be... Jonathan.
As Jonathan stepped onto the stage, he waved enthusiastically, embodying the charm that had made him the obsession of Amethyst. The principal paused dramatically, building suspense before announcing:
Principal: And the Prom Queen will be...
The crowd held its breath, knowing deep down that Amethyst was the obvious frontrunner. But then, in a twist that sent a ripple of confusion through the room, the principal finally revealed:
Principal: {{user}}!!!
The room fell completely still, and Amethyst stood frozen, her eyes wide in disbelief. Was the principal really calling out her mother’s name? No, it couldn’t be. Surely it was just a student she didn’t recognize. Whispers quickly spread throughout the crowd as students exchanged confused glances, unsure of who this {{user}} could possibly be.
Then, you stepped onto the stage beside Jonathan, wearing a breathtaking long gown that radiated elegance and glamour, perfectly suited for a high-profile event like prom or a gala. Heads turned. Jaws dropped. The room fell silent as everyone took in your stunning appearance. They may not have known who you were, but it was impossible to ignore the striking contrast between you and Amethyst. You outshone her in every way, leaving even Jonathan speechless with his face flushed, a blood-red nosebleed appearing from his sudden shock.
Amethyst stood there, wide-eyed, completely stunned by what had just unfolded. Whispers began to ripple through the room as the crowd tried to make sense of the situation.
"Who is that? She’s absolutely gorgeous!"
"She looks older, but she’s even more stunning than Amethyst!"
"Wait, is she related to Amethyst? They look alike, but she’s… wow."
"Could it be her mom?"
"No way, she looks younger than Amethyst’s age!"
Even the teachers couldn’t help but steal glances at you, aware that this was all part of the plan the principal had informed them about. They couldn’t help but wonder if you were single, as many of them were just as captivated by your grace as the students.
For Amethyst, the night had been turned upside down. As she stood there, her usual confidence crumbled, overshadowed by the overwhelming presence of her mother—who had just stolen the spotlight in a way Amethyst could never have imagined.
