I'd like to say thanks to the JonasBFFs for helping me think of this idea.

The chapters in this story are a little shorter than my other stories, but this is what I would love to happen on the show.


Chapter 1

Joe just stood there banging his head with his locker door, feeling like he had lost all hope. Why he was doing this, you may wonder. The reason was that it was only a week away before the biggest night of the school year. But what was so special about this night? Well, it was special because it was what all the high school kids went to: prom! But why was Joe banging his head with his locker door then? Wouldn't he be excited about prom? Well, of course he was, sort of; the problem was that he was dateless! He decided he was finally done giving himself a headache, so he closed his locker; that's when his younger brother Nick ran up to him.

"Joe, guess what!" Nick said eagerly.

Joe sighed. "What?"

"Guess who just got a date to prom!"

"No way, Kevin got a date to prom?!" said Joe sarcastically.

"Well, actually, yeah! But I'm not talking about him!"

"Then who?" Joe didn't seem to really care at this point; he was just frustrated with himself.

Nick grinned. "A certain other brother of yours!"

Joe decided he could cheer himself up a bit by annoying Nick. "Dude, first of all, Frankie doesn't even go to this school; second, he's too young to go to prom anyway!"

"Yeah, I kind of already knew that, and I wasn't talking about Frankie!"

"Then who are you talking about?"

"Ugh! I'm talking about me!"

"Whoa, you have a date to prom?" Joe said, once again being sarcastic.

Nick sighed. "Yeah, I do!"

"Wow, shocker!"

"Joe, what's up with you man? Why aren't you excited about prom?" He could tell Joe was upset.

"I don't want to talk about it."

"Why not? I'm your brother!"

"Yeah, I know; I just don't want to talk about it!"

Nick backed off. "OK, sorry."

"It's alright. So, who are you going with?"

"Well, you know that girl Gracie?"

"From the cheerleading squad?"

"Yeah, that's her."

"Wow, how lucky you are."

"So, who are you going with?"

But Joe didn't answer.

"I said who are you going with to prom?"

"As I just said, I don't want to talk about it."

"Wait, are you going with anybody?"

"Nick, I said I don't want to talk about it! At least, not in the school hallway!"

"Fine, but we're continuing this conversation as soon as we get home!"

"Alright, fine."

At the Lucas' house.

"Alright, we're home. So what's going on Joe?" Nick, Joe, and their older brother Kevin walked into the family room and sat down on the couch in front of the television.

"Fine, I don't have a date for prom, OK?"

"What?!" Nick said, quickly realizing that Kevin had said it with him in unison.

Joe said it a little louder this time. "I don't have a date to prom! Are you happy now?"

"How do you not have a date to prom?"

"Because, no girl has asked me, and all the ones that I asked were already going with somebody else!"

"Wait, what about Stella?"

Joe looked down at the floor now. "I can't ask her."

"Why not?"

Joe felt like Nick was asking too many questions now. "Because, Nick, I don't have the guts to!"

Kevin brought himself into the conversation. "Come on man, you just go up to her and say 'Stella, will you go with me to the prom?' It's that easy!"

"No Kevin, it's not that easy! Stella thinks that with us being rock-stars and her being our stylist, her and I dating is the worst idea for the band!"

"Is that what she said?!"

"Yes! Why do my relationships always get so complicated?!"

Nick put his hand on Joe's shoulder. "Hey, relax man. I think you should ask her, and if she says no, well I actually doubt she will; but if she was to say no, it'll all be OK, because we'll be here for you."

Joe smiled a bit. "Thanks man." He stood up from the couch and turned to face his brothers. "But what am I going to do to ask her?"

Nick's face slightly lit up with an idea. "Well, first we need to find out if she's already going with somebody."

Suddenly the boys' father walked in. "Hey guys, what's going on?"

"We're trying to get Joe a date for prom," Kevin just blabbed out.

"Ah, I remember my first prom in high school. I had the hardest time trying to get a date. I ended up just going without one. It wasn't so bad, because it's where I truly got to know your mom."

"Did you get to dance with her?"

"Of course I did! It was the night where we truly fell for each other!"

Joe sat back down on the couch. "Yeah, but, do you think that'll happen to me?"

"What do you mean Joe?" Then he realized it. "Is this about Stella?"

"Psh, no, psh, of course not! Why would it be?"

"Because Joe, you're my son and I know you, and I know how you've felt about her!"

A sad look spread across Joe's face. "Yeah, and she even said she felt the same way, but she thinks that her and I dating is the worst idea for the band!"

His father looked confused. "And why is that?!"

Joe opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out, so he closed it again.

"Exactly my point! There is nothing wrong with you two being together, and you need to go tell her that!"

Joe sighed. "Fine."

"So, is she the one you were planning on asking to prom?"

Joe glared at his father. "Dad!"

"What? I'm just asking an easy-to-answer question!"

Joe laughed a little. "Yeah, she is, but I don't know how I'm going to ask her!"

"OK buddy, look, you've just got to ask her when the time feels right!"

They both had completely forgotten that Nick and Kevin were there too. Nick spoke up quickly. "Well, apparently we aren't in this conversation anymore, so we're just going to the kitchen."

"Yeah, later," Kevin added as they both ran to the fire escape poles and slid down them.

"Just ignore them Joe, they're just jealous because they aren't in on the situation anymore."

"Yeah, but at least they have dates! Dad, what am I supposed to do?"

"What I just told you, ask her when the time feels right!"

"OK, fine. But how will I know when the time is right?"

"Oh, trust me son, you'll know when it is, you'll know. Now, I'll leave you some alone time to think. I'm going to go see what your brothers are doing."

"OK, have fun," Joe teased as his dad headed to the poles. "And, Dad?"

"Yeah son?"

Joe smiled. "Thanks."

His father smiled back, "You're welcome buddy," he said, and slid down to the kitchen to join the other boys. Joe just sat there and thought. What was he going to do to ask Stella to the prom? How could he make her say yes? But was he going to have the guts to do it in the first place? This was so much stress on Joe at once. He tried to calm down a bit, so he turned on the TV and watched whatever was on until he fell asleep.

A few hours later

"Joe, wake up! Joe, hello! Do you hear me? Wake up!"

Joe slowly opened his eyes to see Stella standing in front of him! He was so surprised to see her that he fell out of his chair. "Oh, hey Stella!"

Stella gave him a weird look. "Are you OK Joe?"

He quickly stood back up. "Oh yeah, I'm just fine, perfectly fine!"

"OK...so, what do you think of this?" She pulled out a newly sewn black coat and pants.

"Wait, is that a tuxedo?"

"Yeah, for prom. It's for you. So, what do you think?"

"Wow, I love it! It's awesome!"

"Really?"

"Yeah, I can't wait to wear it; well, that is if I still go."

"Well, why wouldn't you?"

Joe hesitated for a moment, unsure about whether he should tell her or not. "I don't have a date to go with."

"Oh, come on Joe, be serious! Why wouldn't you go?"

"No, I am serious; I don't have a date."

"Why not? There has had to be at least one girl in this school that would go with you prom!"

"Well apparently there isn't because no girl has asked me, and there were a couple of really nice girls that I considered maybe asking, but all of them were already going with someone else."

"Wow, you really don't have a date."

"No, I don't, and it'll be embarrassing if I show up at prom without a date; especially since both of my brothers already have one anyway."

"Ooh, that is terrible. Who else would you consider asking?"

Joe froze, unsure of what to say. "Uh, I don't know, just a nice girl that I'll be able to have fun with." He was surprised at himself that he didn't stutter or flip his words around this time."

Stella nodded. "Hm, that would definitely be the kind of date I'd want for prom."

Joe saw the perfect opportunity. "So, who are you going with anyway?"

"Oh, no one; I haven't been asked by anyone."

"Oh, well, then maybe...—" was all that Joe could get out of his mouth before Nick and Kevin walked in and interrupted.

"Joe, man, where have you been for the past three hours?"

"Well, for your information, I've been right in this room!"

"What have you been doing?" Then he noticed Stella. "And how long has she been here?"

Stella walked up to Nick. "I've only been here for a couple of minutes. I was showing Joe the tuxedo I made for him for prom."

"And I think it's better than any tuxedo that I've seen at the mall," Joe added in.

"Aw, thanks Joe." Stella turned and smiled at him, then looked back at Nick.

"Wait, so you made a tuxedo for him, but not one for either of us," Nick complained, referring to him and Kevin.

Stella grinned. "Of course I made you guys each one too. Here, let me show you." She went and picked up two other black tuxedos. "So, what do you think? I made them all the same since you're all brothers."

Nick and Kevin just stared at her like with a blank look.

"Guys, what do you think?" She held them up higher.

Nick snapped out of it. "Wow, Stella, they're great!"

"Yeah, I can't wait to wear it!" added Kevin.

Then Stella turned back to Joe. "So, what was it that you were saying about prom?"

Joe froze again, speechless. Nick noticed it and came in for the save. "Never mind that, we've got to go! Mom and Dad want us downstairs for dinner right now!"

Joe quickly followed his brothers' lead to the poles and slid down.

"Guys wait! I was asking you a question!" Stella just stood there, confused. "Oh well, at least they liked their tuxedos," she said to herself happily, and then walked out.

Down in the kitchen their parents didn't actually have dinner waiting. In fact, they weren't even at home at the moment. They were out to eat at a fancy restaurant for some alone time together.

Joe knew he had to say something to Nick for what he'd done. "Hey Nick?"

Nick looked at him. "Yeah man?"

Joe smiled at him. "Thanks," he said as he gave his little bro a hug.

Nick couldn't help but smile too. "You're welcome Joe."

"Aw, brotherly love," Kevin teased. They all laughed.

"So, we interrupted something between you and Stella, didn't we?" Nick asked guiltily.

"Yeah, but it's OK."

"Well, what did we interrupt?"

"Relax; I was just about to ask her prom."

"You were about to ask her to prom?!"

"Yeah, until I realized that it didn't feel like the right time to ask her, but then it was too late; I hadn't asked her yet, so don't worry about it. The good thing is I found out that she isn't going with anyone to prom."

"Oh, well, that is a good thing. So, when do you plan on asking her then?"

"I don't know. I guess I'll just do what Dad told me to do; do it when I know the time is right."

"Good plan."
