When Pigs Fly

A magical moment at a high school pep rally is winning over the hearts of millions across the country. It came on Friday in the gym at Everett High School in Lansing, Mich., with hundreds of students packed into the bleachers. It was a moment senior Vee Nguyen, 19, had been planning — and one her friend Ben Davis, 16, never saw coming. Davis — a special needs student — was taken onto the gym floor where a small group of students walked up to him, carrying a large box with tape across the top. "It says, 'I'll ask you to prom when pigs fly!' " the announcer boomed. The students cut the tape, allowing three balloons to fly out, all decorated to look like a pig's face. The crowd screamed as Davis' face broke into a big smile. He turned around to see Nguyen, smiling; she then asked him to join her at her senior prom. What was his answer? You guessed it, he said yes.

"I met Ben Davis two years ago and ever since then we became really good friends. He is such a sweet person with a kind heart and it's an honor being able to ask him to prom," said Nguyen Since its posting Friday, the video has been shared more than 57,000 times and viewed more than 2.7 million times.
