Raven was sitting in Gar Logan�s car after detention. Miss Smith hadn�t been kidding when she said she was going to run them ragged�Raven couldn�t remember a time when she had sweated more in her life. Kathryn hadn�t been there, just like she had said, but that wasn�t Raven�s problem. As Gar reached out to start the car, Raven spoke.
�Gar? If I asked you to do something for me, would you do it? No matter what it was?� Raven asked. She had to ask him to do this now, before she lost her nerve. She�d thought about it all weekend, this was what she wanted.
�Of course, Raven. I love you,� Gar said. �What is it?�
Raven took a deep breath.
�I want you to take Terra Markov to the prom,� Raven said.
There was a moment of silence. Then Gar said,
�WHAT?�
�What�s the problem?� Raven asked.
�You want me to take Terra Markov to the prom? I know you�re trying to make up for what you did, but this is crazy.�
�Why?� Raven said. �I�m just trying to do something nice for her. How is that crazy?�
�It�s like something out of a movie,� Gar said. �What do you think this will do for her?�
�It will make her happy,� Raven said. �She could fit in.�
�Raven, I�m not sure taking her to the prom will help her fit in.�
�Maybe it won�t,� Raven said. �But I know it would make her happy. She has a huge crush on you.�
�She does?� Gar said. �I never noticed!�
�Shocker,� Raven muttered. �Gar, please. It�s the way I want it.�
�Okay,� Gar said. �I�ll ask her.�
Raven smiled at him. She had been pretty certain he�d do it, since he�d do pretty much anything she asked him to, but there had been some part of her that had doubted he would agree.
�Thanks,� she said.

On Monday night, Terra was sitting on her bed, trying to levitate her dresser. Her powers had grown much more powerful at a very quick rate. The dresser was hovering a few millimeters off the ground. It was heavy. She used her powers to gently let it down.
�Terra?� her mother called. �Have you said your prayers yet?�
�Yeah,� Terra called back. This was not true, but her mother didn�t need to know that. She levitated her dresser again, and got it up a bit higher this time. Terra smiled faintly. She was definitely improving.

From Prom Night: the Case of Terra Markov by Victor Stone.
A lot of people say that Raven Roth was part of the plot to humiliate Terra at the Prom. A few people even say that Gar Logan was in on it. I knew both Raven and Gar, and can say that neither of them were in on the plot to humiliate her on Prom Night. I am certain both had good intentions, of course, but Raven asking Gar to take Terra was part of a deadly chain of events that ended in disaster.

�Terra?�
Terra, who was studying a school book in the library, looked up. It was Gar Logan. Her stomach did a flip-flop. Gar Logan was talking to her. His green eyes held a nervous look.
�Yes?� she whispered.
�Um�well, I was wondering if you don�t already have a date for the prom, would you like to go with me?�
There was a moment of silence while Terra struggled to find her voice.
�What?� Terra said once she found her voice, certain she�d misheard him. There was no way Gar Logan would ask her to the prom.
Other students were watching them curiously, Jade Nguyen and Angel Robertson�two members of Kathryn Walker�s clique�among them.
�The prom,� Gar continued, sounding more nervous by the second. �I know this is a late notice since it�s Wednesday, and tomorrow is the last day they sell tickets, but��
�I don�t like tricks,� Terra said softly. �I�m not stupid, you know! You all can�t go on tricking me forever!�
�It�s not a trick. I�m asking you because I want to go with you.�
�You have a girlfriend. Raven Roth,� Terra said.
�Raven doesn�t want to go,� Gar said. �She was okay with me taking you.�
Terra bit her lip. She hesitated.
�I�d really love to go,� she said softly.
�Then go,� Gar encouraged. �It�ll be so much fun.�
�No,� Terra said. �They�ll all laugh at me.�
�No they won�t. I won�t let anyone laugh at you,� Gar said. Terra swallowed. Finally, she nodded.
�Okay,� she said. �I accept.�
Gar beamed. Terra had never felt happier in her life.
