“Oh, that’s my school uniform.” Ashley simply raised an eyebrow as a smile started to form.

            “Really now?”

            “Yeah. I went to an all girls Catholic high school,” she explained causing the other girl’s jaw to hang loosely.

            “You…went…to… an ALL GIRLS Catholic high school?” Ashley asked with awe in her eyes. Spencer blushed once again.

            “Yes, my mom wanted me to go to one. But really, it’s no big deal.”

            “No big deal!?! This is like…one of my biggest fantasies coming true!”

            “I think we hardly fulfilled anyone’s fantasies. We wore uggs in the summer, flip flops in the winter, rolled our skirts, wore huge baggy collared shirts, which were never ironed, put our hair into messy buns, looked like we never slept, burped, yelled…”

            “Babe, you’re totally ruining my fantasy here!” Ashley said interrupting her.

            “Okay, fine! We all walked around looking like Britney Spears in her ‘Hit Me Baby One More Time’ video. We all wore blouses which were tied up to show our midriffs, had our hair in pigtails, wore knee high socks, and always did a model walk to class,” Spencer replied teasingly.

            “Whatever, we’re so bringing this back to the dorms!” Spencer laughed at Ashley’s enthusiasm.

            “Bring what back to the dorms?” a male voice asked. Glen was standing at the doorway, and neither girl knew how long he’d been standing there.

            “This!” Ashley said as she held up the skirt, and Spencer thought she was going to keel over and die. Couldn’t the brunette come up with an excuse? Glen looked at them curiously. “She’s got a mixer next weekend,” the brunette explained. “The theme is fantasies…guys dress up like a girl’s fantasy, and vice versa. Your sister here had absolutely no idea what to wear without spending too much money, so I told her I’d help her find something,” Ashley finished explaining. Spencer looked at her surprised. She’d been able to come up with that fast! Glen looked satisfied with the answer.

            “All right, well Dad told me to come and get you two. Dinner’s ready.” The two girls nodded their heads, and once he left, Spencer shot her girlfriend a look.

            “What? Next week we’re having a mixer with that theme! It was the first thing I could think of to say!”

            “Well, it’s a good thing you’re quick on your feet!” Spencer said clearly relieved.

            Dinner hadn’t been as bad as Ashley had thought it was going to be. Paula did seem pretty intimidating, what with her blood-shot eyes and strong personality, but she seemed to take well to the brunette. She practically played 20 questions with the girl, to which Spencer begged her mom to stop, but for every question Paula asked, Ashley had an answer. And after a few minutes, the matriarch of the family appeared to be pleased. The rest of the dinner went by smoothly, and it wasn’t long before everyone was at the door hugging and promising to see each other soon.

            On the way back to the dorms, Spencer held Ashley’s hand and was happy to see that her girlfriend was jubilant and was chatting away about how much fun the experience had been. Neither girl mentioned the fact that one day Spencer would have to come out to her family. Tonight had been a good night, and they didn’t want to ruin it.

            As they got back into their room, Spencer pulled Ashley in for a kiss, and then pulled away with a mischievous look in her eyes.

            “Thank you so much for coming to dinner with me,” Spencer said truly grateful that she could bring her girlfriend. The brunette shrugged her shoulders.

            “No problem.”

            “I think that since you were so accommodating, you should be rewarded,” the blonde whispered seductively causing goosebumps to arise on the brunette’s arms. Spencer pulled away from her girlfriend, walked over to her tote bag, and pulled out her schoolgirl skirt, causing a huge smile to spread across Ashley’s face.
