It was the first day of the spring semester. In a few short months, I would be a high school graduate. Hopefully, I would find out that I had gotten into NYADA by that point. Of course what I wanted to have done more by that point was my operation. I was working hard for it and I really hoped that I would be able to do it by then. My dad also would get an increased salary, but I wasn't sure if he would help me at all with it. I couldn't help but be a bit sad because the year was coming to an end.

Currently, I was with the other girls in Glee club as we grilled Sadie on her romance with Sam. Particularly, it seemed like everyone wanted to know what the summer of love was like.

"Come on, Sadie, you need to spill." Rachel urged.

"It went a little something like this." Sadie said before she started singing.

Got my first real six-string, bought it at the 5 and Dine
Played until my fingers bled, it was the Summer of 69
Me and some guys from school had a band we tried real hard
Jimmy quit, Jody got married should have known we'd never get far

And when I look back now that summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice you know I'll always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life
Back in the Summer of 69

And now the times are changing look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes I play that old six-string I think about you wonder what went wrong

Standing on your momma's porch you told me that it'd last forever
Oh the way you held my hand, I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Back in the Summer of 69
It was the summer of 69
Me and my baby in 69
It was the summer, summer, summer of 69

"So you're saying there was hot sex?" Faith asked.

"What?" Sadie questioned in shock.

"That song is about sex." Faith explained.

"No, it's not." Rachel argued.

"Can we stop talking about this?"

We then went to Glee club where we had our new co-director. She stood next to Mr. Schue.

"So for starters, I have an announcement." He stated. "It's not about what you can see. Miss Walker will be joining us but the real announcement is that I'm going to ask Miss Pillsbury to marry me."

"That's great. We totally know you won't screw it up this time." Lucy replied. The less we mentioned Terri the better.

"This is the kind of news that you share with your family and you guys are my family." He told us. I did hope that also he planned on telling his parents. "That's why I want you guys to help me find a song to propose with. Your assignment for this week is to find epic romantic songs."

When it came to romance, I knew that I wasn't an expert on it. I was just a girl who had basically only been in one relationship. I really didn't know much about relationships or what it was like to love someone so much that you want to marry them. Don't get me wrong. I loved Blaine a lot, but I didn't know the first thing about expressing that kind of emotion. I knew that Mr. Schue was going to have trouble finding the right song, even though I did think that he should be the one to choose it.

I found my dad was in the shop. He was still running it until he officially left for Washington, which was in a few weeks. I could tell that he was nervous. Starting a new job could be scary, especially when you're in such an important position. I knew that this his individual position wasn't important, but the job itself was very important. Not too many people got to go to Congress and he was going to try to get more people involved in the arts. It wouldn't be an easy job for anyone, but he had to influence others.

"So dad, there's something that I wanted to talk to you about." I declared.

"What's up?" He asked as he worked on changing the tires to his truck.

"Well Mr. Schue told us that he's planning on proposing and he wants us to help him with picking the song that he's going to sing during the proposal." I explained. "Let's say that you were blessed with any sort of vocal talent. Would there be any songs that you would sing to either Mom or Carole?"

"It would probably be 'I Want to Know What Love Is'." He answered.

"Really, Foreigner? That's one of the cheesiest songs ever." I pointed out.

"Cheesy can be romantic." He argued.

"Right…" I replied in disbelief.

"If you don't believe me just try it out for yourself." He suggested. "You should call Blaine over and sing it to him."

Even though I wasn't crazy about the idea, I decided to do it. It would at least be worth a shot.

gotta take a little time, a little time to think things over
I better read between the lines in case I need it when I'm older
Now this mountain I must climb feels like the world on my shoulders
Through the clouds I see love shine, it keeps me warm as life grows colder

In my life there's been heartache and pain, I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far to change this lonely life

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me

I'm gonna take a little time, a little time to look around me
I've got nowhere left to hide, it looks like love has finally found me

In my life there's been heartache and pain, I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far to change this lonely life

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me

"What do you think?" I asked him.

"Well it was kind of cheesy." He told me. I knew that I was right.

"That's what I told my dad." I stated. "I don't think that Mr. Schue should sing that song."

"Do we know if he's actually going to be singing?" He asked. I assumed that he would since it was his proposal. "I was thinking that we could do a song together."

"Did you have something in mind?" I asked.

"In fact I did. Last year you told me that I was too Top 40, so I picked something else." He explained as he put some headphones in my ears. "This is 'Oh Darling' by Plug-In Stereo and Cady Groves."

"Ooh, I love this song." I remarked.

It turned out that we were the first ones to go.

You seem quite nice for a girl with good looks
And I'm the kind of fell that will make you feel better when your life gets shook
So give it a chance, according to your plan
I bet I'm not number one on your list to kiss but please understand

You seem quite shy but you're oh so cute
And I'm the kind of girl that would love to be yours if you ask me to
So just take a chance, try to hold my hand
I swear I'[d never let go, just me let me know if you'd be my man

I really want to come out and tell you

Oh darling I love you so
If you'd ask me for my heart there's no way I'll say no
Oh darling just take a chance please
So we could stay together till hell starts to freeze

So I gotta ask you I can't be afraid
I gotta take a chance at a love so what do you say

Oh darling I love you so
If you'd ask me for my heart there's no way I'll say no
Oh darling just take a chance please
So we could stay together till hell starts to freeze
Oh darling I love you so
If you'd ask me for my heart there's no way I'll say no
Oh darling just take a chance please
So we could stay together till hell starts to freeze

"I don't think that song was right for us." Mr. Schue declared.

I couldn't help but be a little visibly upset as I left the choir room. I figured that my hormones were a little out of whack from the treatment.

"Are you okay?" Faith asked. "You know he didn't mean to hurt your feelings."

"It's the hormones that are making me moody." I explained. "It's something that I'll have to deal with for the rest of my life."

"Are you okay with that?" She questioned.

"Yes, I want to be a woman and I'm pretty sure that I will be upon graduation." I replied. "My dad gets a bigger salary as a congressman."

"Doesn't that mean that he'll be around less?" She responded.

"It'll be different, but I know that he'll be out there changing the world." I told her.

"You know first-term congressmen don't have a lot of pull." She pointed out. "It's the main reason why Sue's platform would have fallen flat.

After Faith was done, it was Blaine's turn to comfort me. He did so after school.

"So are you okay? You looked like you were hurt earlier." He replied. "I don't think that what he said had anything to do with your performance at all. You sounded great."

"I know that I sounded good." I responded as tears came from my eyes. "I'm not even that sad right now. It's just these hormones that I'm taking can make me go through mood swings. It's really something that only people like me experience. I don't know if you can really make me feel better."

"Maybe you should give me a chance to." He suggested. "When we get to my house, I will show you."

When we got to his house, we went to his room.

"So I need you to take your top off and lay down on the bed." He instructed.

"Why?" I asked as I raised an eyebrow.

"I'm going to give you a massage." He explained. I decided to trust him and removed my blouse. "I need you to take your bra off as well."

"Are you sure that you know how to give a massage?" I asked.

"I took a class for it once." He explained. "I know your body isn't entirely built like a woman's, but it is close enough."

I laid down and removed my bra. Even though he had seen my breasts didn't mean that I wanted him to see them now. He then began to work and I was surprised by how good it felt. He really did know how to give a massage. I ended up falling asleep halfway through.

The following day, I was at school and Faith was singing her proposal song. It was really romantic and I had a feeling that Mr. Schue would love it. It was my favorite song from the new 3 Doors Down album, which really wasn't as good as the previous albums. I knew that bands had trouble staying good, especially when they were around for so long, but Bon Jovi stayed pretty good until just recently. Maybe they just exhausted all of their good songs when they started out. Anyway, Mr. Schue ended saying no to that one as well.

"Mr. Schue with all due respect, I don't think you want us to choose the song for you and we shouldn't have." Faith remarked. "I think it's a great idea for us to sing the song while you propose, but as for the song, I think it should be something that you choose."

"She's right, Will." Miss Walker agreed. "If you were asking me to marry, I'd appreciate it if I knew you listened to your heart. I'm actually going to take it a step further. I think that it would be better if you sang to her yourself."

On Friday, we were in the auditorium. Faith was going to be playing the piano because Brad was somewhere else and the rest of us were going to be dancing backup. I didn't mind it because I liked the big romantic gesture he was doing.

Heart beats fast, colors and promises
How to be brave, how can I love when I'm afraid to fall
Watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

I have died every day waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

Time stands still, beauty and all she is
I will be brave, I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath every hour has come to this

One step closer

I have died every day waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love for a thousand more

One step closer
One step closer

I have died every day waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love for a thousand more

After the song was over, Will went out to the audience where she was sitting and then he took out the ring.

"Emma Rose Pillsbury, will you marry me?" He asked her.

"YES!" She screamed before giving him a kiss.

So there isn't much to say about this chapter other than it has some nice Klaine fluff. I've thinking about doing Season 4 for this story as well. Would anyone be interested in seeing that? The songs are "Summer of 69" by Bryan Adams and "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri. Please don't forget to review.
