Prom Queen

a/n - start song when it says

"I've been to Ann Taylor Loft, Filene's Basement, and like six Forever 21s, and I cannot find a dress that fits," Lauren ranted as her, Juniper, Santana, and Brittany walked into the choir room. "I'm gonna be forced to make my own dress for prom."

"You're up for queen. You can't make your own prom dress," said Santana. "Prom is like our Oscars. It's like the most important night of our lives."

"What about getting married?" asked Juniper as she sat down next to Santana.

"Oh, you can get married as many times as you want," said Quinn. "You only have one shot at your junior prom."

"But I'm a sophomore," replied Juniper.

"Yes, but we're forcing you to go to prom with us," said Santana.

"What are you guys talking about?" asked Mercedes as she walked into the room.

"Prom dresses," said Lauren.

"Thank god I don't have to worry about that. I'm not going," said Mercedes.

"Why not?" asked Kurt.

"Because nobody's asked me."

"Alright guys," said Mr. Schue. "Prom."

"Please tell me we're not doing songs about prom," groaned Sam.

"Nope, we are the prom."

Santana and Juniper exchanged a confused look.

"Figgins has asked us to perform," said Mr. Schue.

"Let's do 'Run, Joey, Run,'" said Rachel.

"Dear god no," said Juniper, shaking her head. "Anything but that song."

"I know this isn't ideal, with nationals coming up, but we really don't have a choice," continued Mr. Schue. "And we could really use the money. But I know that prom is a special rite of passage. I wanna make sure all of you get a chance to enjoy the dance, too. So, we're gonna stagger the performances so that each and every one of you has a lot of time to dance with your dates."

"Excuse me," said Mercedes, getting up and walking out of the classroom.

"Is she okay?"

"Mercedes doesn't have a date for prom," said Quinn.

"So? I don't have a date," said Brittany. "I'm just going to dance, and all of your dates are going to ignore you and come dance with me, so, your dates are really my dates."

"So you think it's cool if I jam with you guys at prom?" asked Blaine.

"Yeah, of course," said Juniper as she sat down on the couch next to Finn.

"Good news, guys," said Burt as he came into the living room. "My buddy Enzo from the tux rental shop is giving you half off."

"Sweet," said Finn.

"Yeah, so what are you going with?" he asked.

"I'm going simple," said Blaine. "Black, thin lapel collar, very discrete."

"Know what I wore to my prom?" asked Burt with a smile. "I wore a powder blue tux with a ruffled shirt and a big velour bow tie. Looked like Tony Orlando."

"Was that a designer?" asked Blaine.

"No."

"No need for half off my outfit," said Kurt as he came into the room in a tux and plaid skirt.
