Prom (Theodore “Ted” Logan Imagine)
Summary: Ted takes you to prom and he’s determined to make it a most triumphant night for you.
(I know this gif is from The Night Before, but it fits so perfectly!)
Y/F/C - your favorite color.
“Y/N, Ted’s here!” Your mom called from downstairs.
“Okay, I’ll be down in a minute!” You called back out to her.
You finished putting on your heels and walked over to the full length mirror to check your appearance. You were going to the prom with your good friend, Ted Logan. You felt as if he were doing it out of pity because he had asked you to be his date just the week before. He also knew that you didn’t have a date and how bummed you were about it. You still accepted his offer of going with him though. You knew it would be fun with Ted. He was your friend after all. He was also your crush, but that was something he didn’t have to know.
When you were satisfied with your appearance, you grabbed your small purse and left your room. You headed down the stairs and found Ted talking with your mom. He was dressed in a nice tuxedo, which was definitely a change for him. He was usually always seen in something wild and colorful or a band t-shirt. He looked good either way, but it was nice seeing him so dressed up. He even had his hair styled.
When Ted noticed you coming down the stairs, he stopped talking with your mom and stared at you. You couldn’t help but to blush at the attention he was giving you. Your mom smiled when she saw you.
“Woah!” Ted gasped out loudly when you were at the bottom of the stairs.
“What?” You asked him, nervously. “Do I look okay?”
“You look most excellent, Y/N,” he told you before he shook his head a bit as if he were trying to shake himself out of a trance. “Uh…I bought this corsage for you. I wasn’t sure what color to go with so I just picked a white one.”
“Wasn’t that nice of Theodore, Y/N?” Your mom asked you with a smile.
You gave your mom a look. She absolutely adored Ted. That was a good thing, but she was a bit too extreme sometimes. She thought he was nice even if he was a little bit clueless. Ted was intelligent in his own way.
“Yeah, it was,” you told her and looked at Ted as he took the corsage out of the box and slipped it onto your wrist for you. The white corsage paired very nicely with the Y/F/C dress you were wearing. “Thank you, Ted.”
Your mom insisted on taking pictures of you and Ted before she would let you leave so you posed for some pictures together. You could tell she was just itching to have the pictures developed so she could see them and probably hang them up.
You left after that and Ted drove you to San Dimas High School. The prom was being held in the gym. It appeared to already be packed full of people when you pulled into the parking lot. Ted parked the car and opened the door for you, which was out of character for him. You thought it was nice though. He held his arm out for you to take so you did. You walked into the gym and looked around at all of the decorations. The theme was a fairy tale one, which was cheesy. They really outdid themselves, however, and went all out.
“I think this is going to be a most triumphant night,” Ted said as he looked around then he spotted a photographer taking pictures of couples as they stood in front of a backdrop. “Hey, we should totally go get our picture taken.”
“Are you sure?” You asked him.
“Why not?” He asked you as he looked down at you. “It would be like a good memory to look back on.”
You nodded and you walked over to where the photographer was taking pictures. You did the stereotypical pose that every prom couple does. Ted stood behind you with his arms around you. It felt nice to be held by Ted like that.
Once the picture was taken, you and Ted walked around the gym. You looked at all of the decorations and pointed out things that you thought were cool to each other.
“Ted, Y/N!” You heard someone call out over the music that was playing.
You turned and found none other than Bill S. Preston, Esq. He was a good friend of yours as well and best friends with Ted. You all three were actually in a band together called Wyld Stallyns. You played the drums. Well, you were learning to play them just like Bill and Ted were learning to play guitar. Bill was with a girl that you recognized from a couple of your classes. You thought her name was Rachel. She was nice, but really quiet.
“Hey, Bill!” Ted greeted when Bill and his date were stood in front of the two of you. “And Rachel.”
Rachel sent you and Ted a small wave. You smiled at her as a greeting of your own.
“I was wondering when you guys were going to show,” Bill said then looked around. “Pretty excellent isn’t it? They’ve been playing some most heinous music though. I told the DJ that he should totally play some Van Halen and Iron Maiden. We’ll see how that goes I guess.”
It was at that moment that a Van Halen song started playing over the speakers. Bill and Ted both looked at each other.
“Excellent!” They exclaimed at the same time and did their signature air guitar move.
You and Rachel laughed at their antics. Bill and Ted were very amusing guys without even trying to be. They usually always put you in a good mood and made things even more fun. You all talked for a bit longer until Bill and Rachel went to talk with some of her friends. You and Ted were alone again. The song eventually changed to a slow one
“Would you like to dance?” Ted asked you.
“I’m not very good, Ted,” you said and shrugged your shoulders.
“Hey, that’s okay,” Ted said with a smile. “I’m not very good either. I’d really like to dance with you though.”
You bit your lip as you thought about it then you nodded your head. Ted smiled even bigger and took your hand into his, leading you onto the dance floor where other couples were dancing. You wrapped your arms around Ted’s neck and he placed his hands on your waist. You both started moving slowly along with the music. You probably weren’t the most coordinated, but you both didn’t mind. Ted kept his eyes on you and yours were trained on him, admiring his features. You could see his face better when his hair was styled the way it was.
“Thank you for asking me to the prom, Ted,” you told him. “I know you could’ve asked any other girl to come with you.”
“Why would I ask another girl?” Ted asked with a confused look on his face.
“Well, I just know that you asked me because you felt sorry for me,” you told him and shrugged your shoulders. “No one else had asked me so you did.”
“What?” He asked you with an even more confused look on his face. “No, I didn’t ask you because I felt sorry for you, Y/N. I asked you because I totally wanted you to come as my…well, as my date.”
You were the one with a confused look on your face then. “What do you mean?”
“Y/N, I like you,” Ted said to you. “I mean I really like you. I’ve been crushing on you since that day we first met freshman year when you moved here. I’ve just been too much of a wuss to tell you. I finally made myself ask you to come to prom with me…with the help of Bill too. He practically threatened to break my guitar if I didn’t ask you. He’s totally tired of hearing me pine over you.”
You stared at Ted in shock. You hadn’t expected your night to go in this direction, but you weren’t complaining. You were happy it had turned out like this. Here you thought that your feelings were one sided, but they weren’t. Ted liked you too.
The song changed to something more upbeat, but you and Ted didn’t move. You kept your arms around each other as you just looked at each other. You finally gathered up enough courage to kiss Ted. Nothing major, just a soft kiss to test the waters. His lips were soft and warm against your own. You pulled away after a few moments and Ted looked mesmerized.
“Woah!” He exclaimed with a wide smile. “Does that mean you like me too?”
You giggled at him and nodded. “Yes, I totally like you too, Ted. I find you to be most excellent…always have.”
“Excellent!” Ted said and let go of you to do his air guitar.
You laughed at him and shook your head. You would think that would get old, but it didn’t. In fact, it was more enduring each time he did it. Ted took your hand and led you off the dance floor so you were out of everyone’s way. He took you over to an empty table so that you could sit down.
“I’ll go grab us some punch,” Ted said after he pulled your chair out for you.
You nodded as he was just about to walk off, but he turned back to you.
“Also, I forgot to tell you that I think you look really beautiful tonight, Y/N,” he said with a smile and leaned down to kiss your cheek.
You blushed and smiled as he walked off towards the refreshment table. You were sat there alone, going over everything that had just happened in your head. It was a lot to process.
“Excellent!” You eventually heard. You turned to find Bill and Ted breaking out in air guitar together. They looked over your way after and Bill gave you a thumbs up. You laughed and shook your head.
Ted was right…it was a most triumphant night.
