The couples stood around, waiting to hear Menlo make his speech and for Mr. Dudikoff to finally announce who had won for Prom King and Queen.
"I hope one of the Ashleys don't win," Gretchen whispered to them, as she watched them fix their makeup and hair in disgust. "Damn, they are so overconfident that one of them will win!"
"They are so superficial," Theresa agreed.
"Well I voted for TJ and Spinelli," Jenn said, smiling at her friends. "Not only are they the cutest couple, but they are so nice and totally deserve it."
"They sure do, which is why we voted for them too," Vince told them, as he put his arm around Gretchen, who was smiling ear to ear. It was pretty clear that night that a new couple was finally about to bloom.
"Thanks, you guys, I just hope we win, I don't even know how we got nominated!" Spinelli laughed as she hugged TJ happily.
"Because you two are great people and others see it, not everyone likes people like the Ashleys," Gus said.
"Damn, is Menlo ever going to shut up?" Bob asked, as they listened to Menlo drone on about being together for the last time and what the future would bring the class of 2006.
"Does he ever?" TJ asked sarcastically as he nervously looked at his watch. Ten thirty. Only a half hour until they had to go and get Spinelli's surprise ready. He only hoped Menlo would shut up so things wouldn't run behind schedule, especially since they needed to be at the hotel by 1 am. Finally Menlo wrapped up his speech by once again congratulating the senior class and turning the mic over to Mr. Dudikoff.
"This better not take long," Vince whispered to Javier. "We need to get this plan into action!"
"Don't worry, things are going to run smoothly. Everything will be fine," Javier assured him with a smile.
"Now, for the moment you all have been waiting for," Mr. Dudikoff announced with a smile, as he motioned for Miss Finster to join him on stage with the crowns and flowers for the queen. "It is time to announce the winner of the King and Queen of the prom!"
"Sorry, you're gonna lose, Spin-ugly. You too, Dork-weiler!" Ashley Q. sneered at them. "You know one of us Ashleys is going to win, and Jimmy is gonna be prom king. So don't even bother to listen to who the winner is."
"Why don't you wait until the winner is actually announced!" Jenn told them, "Because you should never count your chickens before they've hatched."
"Whatcver," Ashley T. laughed, rolling her eyes. "Come on, Ashleys, let's get ready for one of us to be prom queen!"
"...and the winners are Ashley---" the Ashleys all squealed with excitement as they sent fake sympathy smiles to Spinelli.
"....Spinelli, and TJ Detweiler! Congratulations you two!" Mr. Dudikoff announced as the happy couple made their way to the stage, accepting hugs and congratulations from their friends and classmates along the way.
TJ and Spinelli smiled at each other as they accepted the crown and flowers from Miss Finster. Neither one had expected to win, but to TJ and Spinelli (although she didn't know it at the time) it only made their night more perfect.
"The King and Queen of the prom will now lead the senior class in the last slow dance of the night-to the song that was chosen by the class of 2006," Mr. Dudikoff motioned for the DJ to put on the song, and within seconds, the sound of Everything by FeFe Dobson filled the air. (Thank you OrangeGirlExplosion!)
TJ put his arms around Spinelli and pulled her into a kiss. "Congratulations, my queen," he whispered to her as they began to dance.
"You, too, my sexy king,' she responded with a smile, "I can't believe we won, I really thought the Ashleys were going to win again."
"They wish," TJ said, smirking. "But people realize that silicone and snobby behavior is uncool, so nobody voted for them." He pulled Spinelli slightly closer to him, and she responded by putting her head on his shoulder. He discreetly checked his watch, hoping Spinelli wouldn't notice. Luckily, she was too caught up in the moment to notice. "Ten fifty-five," TJ thought. "Almost time to get this show on the road!" He signaled toward Gus, who gave him the thumbs up and watched as he and Theresa headed out the door and to where the surprise was taking place. He sent a signal to the others letting them know that it was time to begin setting up for Operation Surprise Spinelli. They all looked at him, signaling that they were ready. TJ slowly and gently let go of Spinelli as the song ended.
"You wanna go sit down, baby?" he asked her, leading her to their table.
"Sure, I am getting a bit tired," Spinelli admitted as she sat down, pulling TJ into the seat next to her and leaning on his well toned chest. He responded by putting his arms around her and stroking her hair. As he held her, he looked at the others, signaling the next group to go and set up. He gently moved Spinelli and got up, for it was almost time for him to pull off his part of the plan. He motioned for Jenn to come over and sit with Spinelli.
"Baby, I'll be right back," he whispered to Spinelli, pulling her in for a kiss.
"Wait, where are you going?" she whispered, confused.
"The toilets," he lied, winking at Jenn, "I'll be right back, don't miss me too much." He grinned at her one last time before heading off to Old Rusty, a place that would soon become a legend for years to come.
