She was searching through the closet in the spare room, sifting through the clothes.
                          
 "I bought you a dress for the graduation party I was going to throw, but it'll be perfect for tonight!" 
                          
She finally produced a beautiful (f/c) dress. It was about knee length at the front but came down to around my ankles at the back. The trim was (s/f/c), with little jewels sewn in to make it sparkle in the light. For shoes, my mom knew I didn't like heels, so she handed me a pair of black flats. "This is beautiful mom! Thank you!" I raced forward, engulfing her in a hug. "Of course, of course! Now you better go grab your stuff. I'll be taking you to Aphmau's soon! Awh, my little cub is growing up! I wasn't expecting to see you going to Prom so early!" She ushered me out of the room, toward the stairs. As I was heading up, the front door opened, revealing (b/n). He wandered inside, noticing me on the staircase, dress in hand. He gave me a quizzical look, before turning to our mom. "Why does (y/n) have a dress?" He asked. My mom looked like she was about to burst into tears. "My little cub is going to Prom!" She wailed. (B/n) turned to me, eyes wide. "But you're a freshman! I haven't even gone to Prom yet!" he started toward the stairs. "Stuff happened, dork. I'm going with Daniel." (B/n) shuffled up a few stairs, eyeing the dress I clutched in my hands. "Dad is gonna flip!" He cooed. I rolled my eyes. "I got his permission, you idiot. Via text, but hey.' I shrugged it off, and continued upstairs. (B/n) followed after me. "Am I going to have to be the only responsible one in this household?" He asked. I reached my room, but I turned to watch (B/n). "I'm going to have to pull an 'overprotective' sibling act here. Okay. So. (Y/N)! There is NO WAY you will be allowed out of THIS HOUSE, with a BOY!" He made his voice higher pitched, pacing back in forth in front of me. "But brother, I've already said yes!" I dramatically placed my hand over my head, acting as if I was going to faint. "You are in so much trouble young lady, just wait until your non-existence sister hears about this!" He yelled. "Oh no! Please, don't tell her!"
                          
We both started giggling, my ears flicking up at the sound. "But seriously, I trust Daniel and all, but if anyone tries to touch my baby sister, I will pummel them." (B/n), despite sputtering it out in between laughs, was serious. I smiled, patting him on the shoulder. "I'll be fine! I do appreciate the concern though." I gave a little wave and disappeared into my room.

I heard the doorbell ring. I leapt from Aphmau's bed, catching the attention of Aphmau and Katelyn. "The doorbell rang. I'm assuming that that would mean the guys are here!" I nodded toward the door. Katelyn nodded, turning to Aph to help finish putting up her hair. I shuffled over toward the window, peering down at the three heads I saw standing outside the front door.
                          
"Ahh Garroth, so good to see you! And you must be Daniel, oh you're so cute! ... And you. You clean up good at least." I watched as Sylvanna nearly spat at Aaron. She quickly ushered them inside, and I quickly moved back toward the doorway. I flicked my ear as I was able to pick up on their conversation.
                          
I heard Eric speak first. "So let's establish some ground rules boys. No touching our daughters. Even with your eyes." I almost burst out laughing. "So we can't even look at them?" The voices were muffled, but that had to be Garroth. "That's right! Especially you!" That was Sylvanna. And I was sure she directing it at Aaron. "Yes, Sir! Yes, ma'am!" That was Daniel. Neither of our parents were even here. I heard Sylvanna nearly coo over him. "Aren't you just a sweet thing! So well-mannered too! Why could Aphmau have picked someone like you..." she trailed off, most likely glaring at Aaron. "You are just lucky Aphmau caught me at a bad time, and that I keep to my word." She hissed.
                          
I was glad Sylvanna seemed to like werewolves.
                          
"Alright, let's go you two!" Katelyn turned toward me, smiling. "We all look so good!" Aphmau sang. "Definitely the cutest potato I've ever seen!" I stifled a giggle as Aphmau huffed, trying to look mad. I ignored her, opening the door and quickly fleeing out into the hallway. "Mom! We're ready!" Aphamu called out, quickly rushing to the stairs. I heard Sylvanna squeal. "oooh! Let me get my camera!" Aphmau went down first, and she perked up as soon as she saw Aaron. Katelyn followed after, with me going down last. I smiled at Daniel, who was blushing, staring at me. I stood beside Aphmau and Katelyn as Sylvanna rushed up to us. "You girls look beautiful!" I smiled, bowing my head as my ears flattened in embarrassment. However, the guys became greatly embarrassed, as Eric shouted at them. "WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT LOOKING!"
                          
Garroth spun around, staring at the wall. Aaron turned to look at his shoes, and Daniel quickly apologised to Eric. I hurried to Daniels side, slipping past Sylvanna, who was glaring at Aaron.
                          
"Hey!" I mumbled. He turned to meet my gaze. "Hey... You uh. You look really pretty!" I couldn't help the smile that spread across my face. My cheeks warmed. "You look handsome... and cute too!" I giggled. Daniel quickly pulled out a small box. "H-Here. I got you this!" He held out a small box. I carefully took it into my hands, opening the lid.
                          
It was a beautiful (f/c) rose corsage. It had a few leaves around the side, each embedded with jewels. I let out a small squeal, rocking on my heels. "It's beautiful! Thank you, Daniel!" I quickly hugged him. When I pulled away, I presented a green coloured rose, to match his outfit. I placed it in his suit pocket, smiling at my handy work. "T-Thanks. I love it!" We awkwardly smiled at each other.
                          
I turned my attention to Garroth as he spoke to the adults.
                          
"We better get going. Daniel and I need to be there for the opening." Garroth looked from Sylvanna to Eric, waiting for a response. "Oh yes, yes, of course! I just need a few more photos!" Sylvanna then launched herself into a frenzy. Snapping pictures from every angle possible, giggling like a child. Once she was finally satisfied, we all shuffled outside. Me and Daniel made it out first, with Garroth and Katelyn following behind, and Aphmau and Aaron behind them. And it was no surprise that Sylvanna yelled down the driveway at Aaron. However, we all quickened our pace as both parents began bawling their eyes out.
