alianna and belly sit at their vanity's, both admiring their looks, both wearing their beautiful white dresses.

alianna fixes her earrings while belly adjusts her pearl headband. both best friends sitting next each other having their dreams come true.

"very rory gilmore of you." belly laughs hinting towards alianna's dress. "of course, my idol." her face glowed, smile lighting up.

belly's laughter echoes, alianna joins in, they both finish adjusting themselves by putting on their white gloves that all the other girls are wearing.

alianna smiles "i'm glad you're wearing pearls too" she's says looking at belly's headband. she stands up to look in her full length mirror "we're so beautiful belly" she says with joy in her eyes.

"no one will be able to take their eyes off us" belly smiles "i'm just so happy to be here with you, alianna" she stands and takes alianna by the hand, looking a bit more serious than normal.

"we'll be best friends forever, right?" belly says almost in a whisper. "of course we will belly" alianna respond with a hug around the waist, belly's dress flowing out slightly.

she smiles, "but tonight, it's all about making susannah proud."

"you're so right ali, lets do this"belly smiles and grabs alianna's hand. "let's go show everyone how beautiful we are, and make susannah super proud" alianna chuckles.

the two girls grab the bouquet of roses and make their way to the staircase where all the other are lined up together.

a lady is announcing all the girls and their escorts. all of it felt suddenly surreal, alianna had reached the top of the staircase as on the opposite side was jeremiah, who looked so very handsome in his tux.

alianna didn't even notice that she was staring, belly nudged her while jeremiah gave her a wink

the blonde still couldn't tell if this moment was real. it felt like a dream come true, standing next to her childhood best friend.

"alianna connors. daughter of natalie connors and luke cameron." a lady announces into the microphone which signals alianna to make her way to entrance.

. jeremiah and alianna both walked up to their entrance and latched onto each others arms. jeremiah linked arms with ali and smiled at her as she shook the last of her worries and turned to face him.

the women began to read out the attributes about alianna, but the nerves blocked out everything that the lady was saying.

the two walked down the stairs in unison, alianna held onto her red roses while looking out into the ball room.

the lady had finally finished reading out alianna's achievements, the duo made their way

jeremiah could tell that alianna was crazy nervous, "it's okay. i got you." he whispered — reassuring her. she took in a deep breath and plastered a smile.

they joined the others on dance floor, alianna notices conrad and gives him a warm smile. jeremiah and her walk over to the table where natalie and susannah are seated at.

she rushes over to her mom and gives her the bouquet while also giving natalie and susannah a hug each. she hurries back and curtsy's linking arm back with jere.

"how was the curtsy?" alianna whispers to jeremiah who looks down at her, "the queen would be proud." he joked making alianna giggle.

next up was belly. alianna peaked a look behind her and belly looked stunning. she glanced over at her brother as well giving him a nod — letting him know he's doing great.

in this moment, it felt like time had stopped. she felt like the main character, princess. in a disney film, the one she'd always dreamed about being in.

the pair walked over to the table next them, and does the same gesture as alianna does. all of a sudden,  at lake removes herself from her seat and exits the room.

"where is she going?" alianna watches her mother leave. "i don't know." jeremiah replies having the same reaction as her. all the girls curtsy as the announcements finish up.

jeremiah and alianna look at each other and for second it felt like they were the only people in world. the escorts gather at the back, getting ready to perform their escort dance.

belly and alianna next to eachother and laugh as they watch the boys dance. "oh my god." belly groans as she watches steven flirts with shayla from the dance floor.

the boys finish up and everyone cheers and clap for them. "you were, wow, you were just wow." alianna runs over to jeremiah. "yeah, yeah thanks." he says, looking distracted.

"hey, are you okay?" alianna realises, "you seem a little off tonight." she grabs his hand. "i'm alright." he smiles, pulling his hand away from hers, jeremiah left while belly grabbed alianna letting her know it was time for the dance.

"uhm, yeah." alianna sighs, she watches jeremiah exits the ball room as well. exactly when the dance was about to begin. she couldn't go and chase after him and make a big scene?

that nervous feeling started to form up again, her heart starting to race. "do you know where jeremiah went?" alianna asked belly as she began to get worried.

"no, sorry. he'll be here." belly smiles then turns around to josh. alianna stands in the middle of the dance by herself while every other girl is paired up.

she looks around worried, she felt like that one dream — where your standing in front the class naked and everyone is staring at you? she was living that dream.

the song almost starts, alianna turns to see conrad standing up and walking towards her. alianna watches as he approaches and a gentle smile glows across her face.

he steps up and they stand face to face, gazing at each other. as her smile grows, he nods softly. "i think it remember most of the steps." he smiles softly.

he reaches down as grasps ahold of alianna's hand, he leads her to her place at the front of the line of debutantes. was this it? was conrad the brother she was supposed to be with this whole time.

conrad takes his own spot in the line of escorts, alianna and him side to side, they smile softly at eachother. she now felt complete, she felt safe and that she could trust conrad.

the escorts slowly spin and hold out their hands for the girls to hold. the debutantes spin next, taking their escorts hands.

the girls curtsy then the escort gracefully spin them. conrad spins alianna, they move in close and press their palms together.

they spin once more and they dance ball room steps with the other couples. alianna didn't miss in single step, it was like all her worries just disappeared. they only thing she able to focus on was conrad.

jeremiah enters, he stops as watches conrad and alianna dance together. his heart drops at sight of them together, with a disappointed he steps away from the doors.

the debutantes and escort all dance in unison, looking magical. jeremiah stares at alianna and conrad dancing together so beautifully.

the escorts kneel and the debutantes walk around them in a circle elegantly. conrad slowly moves back up and the two gaze at eachother.

he carefully dips alianna just like how they practiced when they were younger, him and the other escorts lift the girls back up onto their feet.

alianna and conrad look into eachother eyes, looking like they were about to kiss. "thank you." alianna spoke up, the applause was so loud but she hoped he heard her.

"i think i messed up some of the steps." conrad laughed. "you could never mess anything up." alianna smiles softly, "you were great."

"i'm glad." he sighs, "glad that it was me." alianna smiles at him. everything felt surreal to her, how could this be possible right now. it was a dream, everything was going her way.

nothing could ruin it.
