Brooklyn, using the alias
Leana Lovings, has asked her lover, Ashley, also known as
Gizelle Blanco, to accompany her as her plus-one at the school's formal dance happening tonight. In contrast to Ashley's past school dances that frowned upon same-sex pairings, she is thrilled for the opportunity to strut alongside her beau at this event. Oddly enough, Brooklyn is more stressed than excited, dreading the moment she must make a public debut about her sexuality.
Observing Brooklyn's unease, Ashley suggests they skip the event if Brooklyn is uncomfortable with the potential reveal. Despite her nerves, Brooklyn wrestles with guilt as she yearns for Ashley to indulge her fantasy of experiencing the prom night. Understanding Brooklyn's dilemma, Ashley acknowledges her concern but is hesitant to have Brooklyn face potential ordeal for her satisfaction.
Brooklyn shares her fear of backing out as the unveiling holds great significance to her. However, Ashley reassures her that there is no rush, nudging her to postpone the disclosure until she is emotionally prepared. Ultimately caving to this advice, Brooklyn opts out of the plush event, choosing an intimate special night with Ashley over a colorful dazzle of the prom.
