Imagine #44: Your Graduation Ball

{This will be a bit longer than usual, but I'm telling you, it's worth to read! Prepare to have butterflies in your stomach! ^_^ Enjoy!}

You are in fourth-year college now and soon you will be graduating. You can't wait for that moment to come, but your university holds another memorable event for all the senior year other than the graduation itself - it is the Grad Ball. It was not an ordinary Grad Ball because the university requires the girls to asks the boys AND they can bring anyone they want even if the guy is not attending the university. The university has been doing this for years now and as far as you know, the university knows what they were doing.

All the other students are excited, some are bringing their dads, or their brothers, or boyfriends and anyone they like. Many of them are asking who will you bring, you're kind of popular in the university, not because you are a meanie, but because you are brainy, cutie and a sweetie.

"I don't know yet! I would have gone with my dad but he's not here anymore, I don't have a brother and even a boyfriend! So I really don't know girls." You said honestly to your circle of friends and they began to recommend you some boys, but the truth is, you're planning not to go.

After your chitchat with your friends, you just went home and think about if you're really not going to the ball.

"Well, if I go, who will I bring?" you asked to yourself while you lay over your bed. You took your phone out and unlocked it, a smile appeared on your face when you saw your wallpaper - your all time crush, Patrick Stump. "What if I ask you?" you said playfully and immediately logged on to your twitter account.

"Hey! Grad Ball is coming up and the girls are the one who should ask the boys and we could really bring anyone we want. So, would you like to go to the ball with me Mr. Stump? *plays 'DANCE DANCE' loudly*" you playfully tweeted to you with the picture of the invitation to the ball.

You didn't know why you really did that, but it was already done. You walked to your closet and your ball was in there already, your mom gave it to you. It has the colors of blue and black which you really love and the design is just simple, you are actually quite excited to wear it, so you just thought of going to the prom even without a date. You were just inspecting the ball when suddenly your phone vibrated.

"Oh my....freak!" you whispered shout. Patrick Stump had replied to your tweet and you can't believe what he said.

"Oh wow. I'm honored @{your twitter name} I would gladly accept your invitation! I know that university and I'm currently at Chicago right now! PM please ;)" you read over and over again. Your hands began to shake and your palms are sweaty. You quickly did what he told you.

"Are you really serious, Mr. Stump?!" you typed.

"Yes, I am and please, just Patrick. Well, to be honest, I really never experienced a prom or a ball when I was attending school besides I didn't even reached Fourth Year College, so I think it's really not too late to experience such thing." He replied to you. He was serious and you began to lose your mind.

"Like seriously?! THANK YOU!!!!" you replied.

"You're welcome, sweetie. And thank you for inviting me, it's such an honor to be invited by a lovely lady. (Pardon me, I might have "stalked" your profile a bit) you really seem to be a nice and wonderful girl. Can't wait to meet you. So it's settled then?" he replied again. You almost did everything to yourself just to make sure you are not dreaming; you've pinched yourself, you rolled countless of time on the bed, you've made disturbing noises...but still you're not waking up, which mean this is really true!

"Oh gosh! I still can't believe this! Thank you so much! So see you! I'M A BIG FAN of yours and Fall Out Boy!"

"I saw that on your profile, you're a diehard Overcast Kid so thank you. By the way, what's your dress and its color and where should I pick you up?" he asked. You feel like you're the luckiest girl at the moment, you never expected him saying these things to you.

"It's a ball gown having the color of blue and black, just pick me up at the {random address here}, other details are on the invitation. Really, I appreciate all this Patrick, thank you! And, by the way, my name is {Y/N}." you answered him.

"That's a pretty cute name. I'll see you then!" he responded and you just went full on fangirl mode after that conversation.

**************************

"What if he won't come? What if he will not be able to make it?" that is currently your thoughts right now. You are all ready for the ball, just waiting for Patrick to pick you up. You were nervous and excited at the same time, but also worried. He's fifteen minutes late now.

You're just staring at yourself in front of a mirror and you have to admit that you really look beautiful today. Light make-up was applied on your face, your hair falls perfectly, and the gown fits you well.

"You'll be fine. He will come and this will be a great night!" you whispered to your reflection then smiled and right on cue, the doorbell rang. You walked towards the door and opened it and what you saw out there almost made your jaw drop.

It was him, Patrick Stump, standing on your front porch. He was wearing a blue and black tuxedo like he always wears on Soul Punk Era. His hair is blonde again and he's not wearing his fedora. Goddamn, he's so handsome!

"Y-you look great." You both said at the same time to each other. You looked at him and he was shocked to see you too.

"You're stunning, princess." He teased you. You are wearing a small tiara on your head. You just smiled at him.

"You look so handsome too! Gosh, it's so nice to meet you." You said excitedly, trying to contain yourself.

"Well, princess, let's go to the ball." He said playfully and you just giggle. You held onto his arms and he escorted you towards his car.

You had already a great time while driving towards the venue. Patrick is really fun to talk with and you both talk to each other like childhood friends. After few minutes, you arrived at the venue and everyone is waiting for you. You became more popular because of this, but you really don't want the attention too much so you ask all of them a favor to just treat Patrick like a normal individual and, fortunately, they agreed.

The both of you went inside the venue and you are happy because everyone remained calm and just talked to Patrick like he's not a celebrity. You can see Patrick appreciated that too. He was honestly having fun while your friends are having fun in playfully embarrassing you in front of Patrick. They were talking about the crazy things that you have done, but they also mentioned every good thing about you.

"Yeah, she really does seem to be a wonderful girl." He said with his wonderful voice while looking directly at you which made you blush. After a while, your friends left the both of you and you continued your chitchat.

"Wanna dance, princess?" he suddenly upped his seat, offering a hand at you. You gladly put your hand over his and walked to the dance floor. The music was so soft and everyone was just dancing around, Patrick put his hands on your waist and you put yours over his shoulders and began to dance. You both have the same height so it's really not that awkward for the both of you. The both of you continued talking while dancing, laughter escaped from your mouths. You're happy that Patrick is having fun with you.

"Thank you." You whispered at him sincerely.

"I will never regret going to this ball with you." He said sweetly to you and you felt like you just melted in front of him.

The night went on and you've never been this happy for a long time. You owe this all to your idol and crush, which is just standing beside you right this instant.

"Now, the time has come to announce the grad ball king and queen this year!" the Emcee said and everyone gathered around the stage. "Every one of you is really beautiful and handsome tonight, but we all know that this is an easy pick. Please let's give the thrones for our King, Mr. Patrick Stump and Queen Ms. {Your Full Name}!" the Emcee said and everyone cheered. You honestly didn't think of this and you were caught off guard. Patrick just held your hand and you both made your way towards the stage. The Emcee put crowns on your heads and let you sit on the thrones on the stage.

"Let's give it up for our King and Queen!" she said once again. Your smile was up to your ears so as Patrick's. you looked at him, but he was looking at you already. "So, we have a little rule here your majesties, that whoever wins the title will have to perform something for the audience. So the floor is now yours." She said and both of you giggled.

"So, what are we gonna do?" you asked while giggling.

"I bet your voice sounds wonderful, let's sing." He said while smiling. You grabbed the guitar on the stage and strapped it around him. You stood up too and went towards the microphone. He began to play the guitar and you immediately recognized the song.

"Wise men say only fools rush in

but I can't help falling in love with you" Patrick started singing while playing the guitar. He's smiling was still seen and he was just looking at you as if he's really singing the song for you. The audience cheered, but all you can hear is his voice.

"Shall I stay? Would it be a sin?

If I can't help falling in love with you" you pushed yourself to sing and you are glad you took those voice lessons when you were a kid. You're voice sounded good too and he smiled proudly at you.

"Like a river flows surely to the sea

Darling, so it goes

some things are meant to be" both of you sang together. Your audiences started to dance again accompanied by your singing.

"Take my hand, take my whole life too

For I can't help falling in love with you." Patrick continued singing with his wonderful voice and he is still looking at you.

"Take my hand, take my whole life too

For I can't help falling in love......with......you." You ended the song and everyone cheered you're the both of you. Patrick put the guitar down as the music started again and you both dance up on stage. This is really one of the most wonderful days in your life.

**************************

"Thank you for this wonderful opportunity, I really enjoyed my night princess." Patrick said. You are on the front porch of your house again.

"Thank you too Patrick, this night has become more wonderful than I ever expected it to be and it's because of you!" you said and gave him a hug.

"Maybe your free some other days? Pete, Andy, and Joe need to meet you, and we can hang out again sometime." He shyly said and you nodded at him.

"Goodnight Patrick, or should I say, my king." You said playfully.

"Goodnight too, my queen. See you again soon?" he asked while walking backward. You stopped him and pulled him closer, giving him a kiss on the cheeks.

"Sure thing." You said and he immediately kissed your cheek too.

"Stay stunning, my lady." He said and he walked back to his car and drove off. You went inside your house and began to squeal like an idiot.

You've got to meet him, you've got to dance and sing with him, the both of you had many pictures this night, and you even got a kiss from him; what could possibly be better than this! And also, he wanted to see you again! You just removed your make up and changed to your pajamas before tweeting everything your wonderful night. You can't wait to see your pictures together.

"Just spent this night with a wonderful girl and she already made me king. Good night @{your twitter name}, thank you for this amazing night! #ThnksFrThMmrs" you read Patrick's caption on the photo that he tweeted. It was the photo of both of you while sitting on those thrones, both of your smiles are genuine. You honestly looked cute together, and you have matching clothes!

You just laid happily on your bed that night, this will just be the beginning of something big, you thought.
