How to ask that girl to prom

A week or so ago I was just walking back to class from an assembly about our upcoming high school prom. I happened to be walking beside my girlfriend, so I was like "Hey, how 'bout you come to prom with me?"

Now, being the traditional girl that she was, she refused my flippant asking and said I'd have to do a lot better than that. Gosh darn. What am I supposed to do? Luckily, all my friends are going through the same issue. You've just got to be creative to get the girl these days!

At lunch, me and the boys had a round table discussion about methods of "popping the Q", or so to speak. Suggestions ranged from sweet, like baking a cookie with "prom?" spelled out in icing, to outlandish, like arranging a bunch of dead bodies to spell out "prom?" in her front lawn.
One guy detailed his affections on a pink slip and left it in his prospect's car.
In the end, after weighing my options, I went with the bodies one.
...Not dead bodies, though, in case you were getting worried.
I got one friend to bend himself into a "P" shape, the next an "R", then an "O", then an "M". Others jumped in, forming exclamation marks and question marks. I believe the product was something along the lines of: "PrOM!???!"
I called her over and presented my handiwork. To my delight, she said yes.
