Lucas and Farkle sat inside of Farkle's bedroom trying to come up with a plan, the dance was less than a month away and both of them were planning on how to ask their girlfriend's to the Spring Formal. Lucas didn't want to mess this up especially after the disaster that was the semi-formal in eighth grade. Farkle already had his way of asking Smackle to the dance, by using science that Lucas couldn't understand and honestly didn't want to understand. All he knew was that at some point something was going to blow up during science class and he was going to ask her that way.

For Lucas on the other hand he needed a way to top Charlie freaking Gardner's attempt to ask Riley out in the eighth grade and he honestly couldn't figure out how he was going to pull it off without having to write in the sky.

"Did you figure it out yet?" Farkle asked him for the seventh time that night and all he could do was sigh.

"No, I can't seem to figure out how to do it," he said more to himself than to his genius friend. "Why is it that Zay had it easy?"

"Because everything is still new with Cassie, all he had to do was ask," Farkle said smiling at him. "It's going to be their first date so in a way Zay has a lot more pressure than we do."

"Farkle, Zay's favorite movie is the Notebook, he lives and breathes romantic movies because of his mother, trust me he has it easy," Lucas said trying not to feel like the weight of the world was on his shoulders.

"You just need to think of a place where you and Riley have a lot of memories," Farkle said to him. "Like the Bay Window."

"I don't think her father would like for me to sneak into her room to set up a way to ask her to the dance, especially after the way he found me climbing down the window not too long ago trying to get away so we wouldn't get caught... I haven't been in her room since that day, and if I go in there I have to have supervision at all times."

The two of them talked for another hour before they both gave up and Lucas went home, he didn't know what to do. He wanted her to feel special but it's impossible when he's already called her a princess while on a horse.

"Wait a minute," he said as the realization his him, the perfect way to ask her to the dance was to do what he had in the seventh grade. The horse and everything, with one difference, he needed to dress up as a prince, white horse and everything. To him she deserved to be swept off her feet, she had helped him through so much he needed to show how much he appreciated that, and how much she meant to him.

Instead of going home he walked back to Farkle's place and barged into his room just as the genius was getting ready for bed.

"I know what I want to do," he said startling his friend and making him jump up in the air.

"Geez Lucas couldn't this have waited?"

"No because I need your help, I want to dress up as a prince," Lucas said smiling. "As the beast from Beauty and the Beast, well minus the Beast part, but the same outfit from that scene in the ballroom. Riley loves that movie and showing up at school dress like that with a single rose would be perfect."

"You have no idea how perfect it would be, I'll ask my mother in the morning so that she can help with the clothes."

"Thanks Farkle, you have no idea how much this means to me," he said before turning around and heading towards the door. "I'll see you in the morning."

"Just let me sleep a little before you show up, it's Saturday," Farkle yelled at him as he left.

He couldn't help but smile at the thought of doing this, and wondering if he would be able to pull it off especially since he had to plan the exact moment he could do it. The horse was out of the question because he didn't want to get in trouble for bringing a horse to school on Monday.
