Sam initially was not planning on attending his Senior Prom, since he had dropped out of his high school and was not supposed to put any weight on his knee (he had knee surgery in February for a wrestling injury, where he tore his meniscus during a spectacular take-down). Sam found out during one of the "From Cumorah's Hill" practices that Kirsten Johnson (a girl who was playing violin in the orchestra with him) hadn't been asked to prom and wanted to go. Another girl that Sam knows asked him to ask Kirsten to prom so they could be part of the same group date.
To creatively ask Kirsten to prom, Sam had the following fake article published and had his seminary teacher read it to the class:
At the following practice for the "From Cumorah's Hill" production, Kirsten replied to Sam's request by handing him a homemade chocolate cake with the word "Yes" in green icing written across the cake (the dance was on St. Patrick's Day).
A note was attached to the cake which read: "Saying yes is a piece of cake!"
Sam had a great time, even though he was somewhat disabled.
