My final Graduation Ball
before i was getting ready, i was reading about queen victoria, then about the victorian era, then the edwardian era, which led me to the titanic. okay so i have to do some laundry before i go ne, and i think that i'll have time to get it done before squall gets here. so i decide to play soul caliber 2. guess who shows up early? Squall looks good though. he bought a vest and a tie and he looked really nice. So I rush around trying to get ready. Luckily, I already had my shoes on and my hair only needed a touch up. so I slip on my dress and then we're out the door after about 20-25 minutes, after pictures of course.

but i have to run back for a CD with "waltz for the moon on it" so i get the CD and we get on the highway then we have to turn around because I forgot a necklace one of my friends wanted to borrow. so we turn around, go back, get the necklace and get back on the road. It is now 6:40-something pm. we think we passed the road we're supposed to get off at, so we get off the freeway and check maps and then get back on the freeway. what does the next sign say? the street we needed. so we drive for a bit more, get off the freeway and drive on the road, but pass the street we were supposed to turn at and keep going street. figuring we passed the street (cause we're smart like taht) we turned around, then a police officer pulls us over for speeding. I started laughing. I know it was mean, but it's so hard not to think all of this isn't funny. I feel really awful about laughing though. so squall gets a ticket and also gets directions, unfortunately, he gets really turned around. by now it's 7:45 and that's when the ship leaves. we're both freaking out and I’m ready to cry, though I keep telling squall it doesn’t matter, it’s only a dance. He tells me to stop talking about it. i call one of my friends to tell her to hold the boat as long as possible. so we find the street we're supposed to turn down, then spend 5 minutes looking for the parking lot and the dock. we finally find that and discover that the boat hasn't left yet. so we're very relieved.

we end up sitting by tina and andy. but then we realise that we left the CD in the car, so we go ask if we can retrieve the CD and they decline. but here's the kicker, the boat doesn't leave for another hour and a half, because they're still waiting on 4 people. so the night basically goes without incident.

I tried monologuing on the deck, but it didn't work. yeah the "great music, good looking guy" speech i gave to him, but I couldn’t remember it. Guess it was a one time only thing, huh? the guy at the bar called squall and me Jack and Rose, Since he saw me and squall having a titanic moment out on the deck. The standing at the prow with arms outstretched “I’m flying, Jack!”

tina ate part of a rose, then ahron ate part of a rose. then squall ate the rest of the rose that tina didn't eat. feeling left out, i went and ate half a rose. we got our charactures done and we danced the last 30 seconds of the last dance. i got my "give away" (which was a pretty glass rose, so we can't eat it) and we went to the car, thinking we'd go to the beach to dance.

but before we can go, we have to get the parking voucher validated, so we got that validated and returned to the car. so we're pulling out of the parking lot and discover we owe $5 for the parking, but neither squall nor i have any cash. he asks if they debit. they don't. so they take his liscense and we have to drive to an ATM to get $20 to pay the parking people to get his liscense. we then decided just to go home. on the way to home, we get caught in really bad traffic and it takes us about an hour to get home when it should have taken about 40-45 minutes. it's now 1 in the morning. I let him keep the charactures and my glass rose, since he wanted one. It was a gift.

I give him a cheer up speech on the porch, doesn’t work. so we get inside and i take him into the den to dance with him. we dance, but it's really half heartedly and i start crying because i can't do anything to make him feel better. we crash on the couch to be awakened by Caraway around 2 in the morning. he doesn't stay the night because he doesn't have his glasses with him nor does he have another pair of contacts. soo...he goes home, i go to bed, and discover i have a text from tina, saying how nice i looked and stuff like that, and goodnight (which is something we always do at night when we're going to sleep). i then crash and sleep until 8, where i am awokened by a call from squall who says he got home safely. i went back to sleep and slept until 10:30 am.

The end.

Yeah...It was an interesting night, I'll admit, though squall wasn't too happy about it. But he tried and that's what counts. I dont' care that it wasn't perfect, I don't expect perfect. I'm just happy he tried so hard, ya know? I'm just happy he was there with me and that he didn't get pushed off the boat by tina. i was happy that he was on time. even if we didn't make it, yeah i would have been sad, but i would've been content with getting taco bell, eating it on the beach,then dancing on the beach too. But i love him even more for trying so hard.

I love You.

So here's for trying so hard:


If you look close enough, you can see him smiling towards the end. ^_~
