Author Note: After a long writing hiatus and a difficult writers block, I'm back with this fic. I will continue the chapters of my other fics soon, so don't lose heart on that. Since the prom spoilers, I just had to write this fic! It is a Will/Emma fic mainly, but it will also explore the kids ships of Finchel, Quick, Brittana and Artina. I wanted Klaine to be in this, but I'm not sure how I'd write them in so I just left it out. Okay, on with the fic. (glee on tuesday! :D)

It was prom next week. Prom was one of those things that you either loved or hated. For some people, it was their dream, for others it was a nightmare. The McKinley students were buzzing about the junior prom as an excited vibe went across the school. However, every prom needed teachers to chaperone and watch the children.
Most teachers didn't want to do it. Usually it was just a night of stress and struggle. At least one person always ended up bringing alcohol to the event causing a disaster of some kind. Of course the kids loved it. For some it was their highlight of the year. So they ended up picking Will Schuester and Emma Pillsbury. It was definitely personal.
Will didn't seem to mind though – in fact he loved the prom. It reminded him of his glory days when he was at high school. He remembered when he had been the prom king, Terri being his queen. He thought he loved Terri, but he didn't. Terri had just been the easy way out. She was popular, pretty and all the guys wanted her. He was the quarterback and the star of the glee club. That was when glee was actually pretty cool.
Emma however was not so happy. Her high school prom had been an absolute disaster. For a start, she had been dateless. There wasn't exactly a line of boys outside her door holding roses asking her to go with them. Only one guy asked her, and he was an absolute freak. She had quickly declined and rushed away to hide. Her parents had forced her to go though and she ended up coming home crying after the cheerleaders decided to egg her as she entered, which not only ruined her dress but triggered her ocd into overdrive.

"Hey Trouty Mouth!" Puck shouted to Sam who was putting his football kit into his locker.
"What?" he replied as he slammed the locker door. "And how many times do I have to tell you to stop calling me that?"
"Oh, shut up. Anyway, I have an amazing plan for the prom."
"What?" Sam asked interested. Puck smirked and began to speak.
"I say we spike the punch at the prom. It'll be fun. Everyone will be drunk, people will do some crazy ass stuff, and I'd like to see Miss Pillsbury get a lil wild." he raised his eyebrow as a wide smile spread across Sam's face.
"Sounds awesome. You're in charge of getting the wine, I'm dyslexic."
"Oh my god dude. Your mouth just went huge. Not that it wasn't big enough already." he chuckled watching Sam's face grow bright red.
"Shut up man, seriously."
"Fine, so should we get the rest of the glee guys to help us out?"
"Sounds like a plan."
Finn stepped into the football changing rooms as he wiped his hand through his hair. He'd asked Quinn to the prom, but been turned down. It was all so confusing for him. Quinn or Rachel, Rachel or Quinn? Rachel was annoying. All she did was talk about herself and her career and he could never get past second base with her.
"Ey, frankenteen!" shouted Puck to Finn as he looked up.
"What?"
"Puckzilla and Trouty Mouth have got a killer plan for prom, wanna be part?"
"It depends what you are going to do. If you are going to sabotage Quinn..." he began to trail off while Sam began to tell Puck to shut up.
"Spike the punch. Want in?"
"Guess I don't have a choice, huh?"
"Not really. Tell Mike won't you?"
"Fine, whatever."

The glee club members sat in the choir room, all with happy grins on their faces. They had just finished practising their song for the prom. It was sounding good, well great. Most were excited for the prom, Quinn being the most. That prom queen tiara had her name on it, even if she was no longer captain of the Cheerios. She'd been wanting this since the age of two, her passion was stronger than Rachel Berry wanting to get a main role on Broadway.
"If you didn't hear, Miss Pillsbury and I will be chaperoning the prom." Will annouced as Rachel grinned.
"Is she your date Mr Schue?" she teased and the rest of the glee club laughed. They all knew about how much they loved each other and the complications behind their relationships. Santana had also told them about her annullment with Carl, after he accidentally let it slip after one of her appointments. He was a smoking hot dentist and she was glad he was now free.
"No, Rachel." he tried to ignore the glee club, but he knew how much he did want Emma to be his date to the prom. Even though both of them were both too old for such things, he wanted to. Principal Figgins had stated a 'no teacher relations' policy while at the prom after the time when Brenda Castle got crazy on Mr O'Neil.
"I want you guys to be on your best behaviour. I don't want you guys to let the name of the glee club down."
"Yeah, yeah, we got it Mr Schue."
"I also want you guys to have the time of your lives!" Will grinned and the rest of the glee club began to cheer. Quinn remained seated as her thoughts drifted to the crown and how Finn had asked her. That had been the original plan from the start, hadn't it? If she went with Finn, then she already had the title hands down. Now she wasn't so sure. She looked around and saw Lauren and Puck holding hands. It hurt her, so much. Puck was Beth's father. Her birthday was next week. Their daughter was going to be one. The time did fly since they had come last at regionals. It broke her heart as Puck hadn't even seemed to mention anything. They never even seemed to talk any more. He had told her that he loved her. Last year had been so different and she missed it. When she had been pregnant had been good times, as her friendship had grown in the glee club and her love for Puck. She still had feelings for him but she was just too afraid to admit it.
After that the girls began to gossip about what dresses they had bought, and the guys about what girls they were taking. Well, that's what Will thought. They were actually talking about 'the plan'.
"This is going to be awesome." grinned Mike. He had just been informed about the plan by Sam.
"I know right. Maybe we should take a camera or something." Finn laughed as he looked over to see Quinn smiling at Rachel. He was definitely confused. So Quinn didn't want to go with him now. It seemed like a total different story last month when they had totally hit it off together.
"Put it on youtube. But you'll have to do it, I don't know how." Sam said to Puck and he nodded.
"This is going to be some fun." he smirked as the boys began to nod.
As the rest of the girls began to smile and grin, Rachel looked over at Quinn. She had to ask her something.
"Quinn?"
"Yeah?"
"Why did you turn down Finn when he asked you to the prom?" she sighed. Rachel wanted to go to the prom with Finn, she loved him. She had been scheming and mindless when she had cheated on him with Puck and he had the right to be angry. Now she missed him. Whenever they talked it was awkward. Why couldn't they just be friends like they used to be?
Quinn was unsure of how to reply to Rachel. She didn't want to say it in a way that made her think that Finn would go and scoop her into her arms.
"I didn't want to. We've split up, Berry."
"Why?"
"None of your business."

Emma sat in the faculty lounge, munching on her celery sticks. As she looked over at the notice board, she saw lots of notices about prom things which made her stomach turn slightly. She was nervous, after all she did have the right to be. Her annulment with Carl was finally starting to sink in. She had loved Carl, but not in the way she thought she did. She still loved Will.
"Hey Em!" said a cheery voice that she instantly recognised as Will's. He sat on the chair next to her and grinned.
"Hi." Emma smiled as she began to put her Tupperware box away.
"So, excited for prom?" he asked excitedly. You could tell by his voice that he was.
"I don't know. I'm a little nervous."
"Why? High School Prom's are awesome!"
"Yeah, if you are popular. When I went, it ended in a disaster."
"Why?" he asked and Emma told him the story about her trip to the high school prom. He raised his eyebrows and bit his lip.
"Any guy would be lucky to go the prom with you," he whispered gently as she looked up.
"So anyway, have you bought your tux?" she asked trying to get out of the moment. Will was flirting, she knew it but she couldn't deal with this. Not now. She was scared of being hurt again, when Will had cheated on her.
"Yep, I can say I look quite dashing." he smiled and she giggled.
"Have you bought your dress?"
"Not yet."
"What? Well you'd better hurry, its prom in like seven days!"
"You sound like a girl, Will." Emma laughed as Will shrugged.
"What? It's a fun time." he said making her smile again. God, her smile is beautiful, he thought as he saw the bare finger on her hand. He didn't want to mention it to her, just in case.
"I'll probably wear something old or something."
"Nonsense! This is a special occasion!"
"Okay, fine, I'll buy one." she giggled and Will did a thumbs up.
"Now that's what I'm talking about."
Just then, Sue approached their table.
"Oh hey there Will, Ellen. I was just spotting buy to tell Will about how my hairdresser offered to get rid of that ridiculous perm. He said he can't wait to meet you."
"Shut up Sue."
"Anywho Erma, I heard that your dentist husband decided to leave you. Was it the ginger ninjaness? Was it the love for the guy who can't even get a decent haircut?"
"Leave us alone, please." Emma said turning away from Sue.
"Baby moniters, Elsa. Remember." she began to walk away from their table as Will let out a sigh of relief.
"Well Sue is very much still Sue."
"Yep." she looked down embarrassed.
"She will never change, will she?" he shook his head as Will and Emma looked at each other with a sad look in their eyes.
"Listen Will, I gotta go." Emma got up and left the table.
"Um, bye." he could only manage to stutter as he saw her walk out of the door.
Author Note: If you're reading this, then it means you got to the other side, yay! I hope it met up to your standards. This chapter was really heavy with the glee kids I'm sorry. Once they're at the prom, Wemma will definitely be the main focus! Please review, your feedback means everything to me. :3
