A high school student named Mike Stone, from Oakdale, Minn., couldn’t get a prom date from his own school, “Tartan High School”, so he made a smart move and reached out beyond that little pool of options.
Stone, who is an 18-year-old Senior, reached out to several girls via Twitter, most of them being actresses. Stone, who goes by @madmike42948 on Twitter, sent out tweets to 600-some actresses, asking them if they would be his prom date, and a few actually responded!

One star who responded, was Emy Reyes, who tweeted Mad Mike back, “I would love tooo!”. Another star named Megan Piper, responded as well, tweeting back “If you can get me there, then yes :)”. She meant from L.A. to Minn.! Stone then picked Piper to be the lucky gal, and started raising money right away lol!
Just when Stone became hopeful and excited that he finally scored a date to his prom, his dream was crushed soon after. The school district’s superintendent Patty Phillips stepped in and said that Piper, who is 19, “would be prohibited from attending the dance because her appearance would be “inconsistent” with two district policies pertaining to visitors to school buildings and sites.”
If Stone was in the midst of raising money to facilitate Piper’s cost-free trip, and now she’s not going, maybe he’ll just upgrade his tux and buy some extra prom photos instead… wah waoooooh.
This is mere proof that when you throw that fishing line out there, you’ll more than likely get a bite!
