It was an extraordinarily tough race, but after much deliberation, I have decided that the winner of the Tell This Couple's Prom Night Story challenge is Katie!
No, not the same Katie as me. We just happen to both be named Katie. And yes, I'm aware that might have swayed me in my decision, but I strove to be as fair as I could.
And what does Katie win?
My eternal admiration, of course!
So, without further ado, here is the wonderful entry that Katie contributed.
Misty was originally supposed to go to prom with her boyfriend Kevin, but two days beforehand she had gone over to his house to make sure his cumberbund was the right color, only to catch him sucking on her best friend's toes.
So then her church youth minister asked her to do a good deed by going with Todd. Todd always had difficulty talking to girls, because he was self conscious about his glass eye. He spent most of his Friday nights playing Bingo for M&M's with his grandmother.
So Misty did the Christian thing and invited Todd to the prom. When they showed up, Kevin--who had already consumed most of a bottle of coconut rum--had a fit. "You came with Cyclops intead of me?" he yelled.
Misty tried to ignore him and instead asked Todd to dance. That was when Kevin took off his shoe and threw it at Misty, but he missed and hit Todd instead, hard enough so that his glass eye popped out and landed in the punch bowl. The prom pretty much ended right there, even though it was only 9:30.
Kevin had to sign up for a sensitivity workshop the next week. He would go on to become a Kinko's manager.
Todd moved to Las Vegas and opened his own casino when he was 30. he called it "One-eyed Jack's."
Misty became a stewardess and mother of four. She sent Todd a card every year at Christmas but never returned his calls.
