As I See It
Prom Court
"Attention McKinley High students Prom is just around the corner so if you haven't purchased your tickets yet then what are you waiting for? Please purchase your tickets in the main hallway during your homeroom period or in the cafeteria during the lunch periods. This year's theme is "If Only for One Night." And now it's time to announce the nominees for Prom King and Queen first the nominees for king: Rick "The Stick" Nelson, Finn Hudson, Noah "Puck" Puckerman and Sam Evans. Now the nominees for queen: Santana Lopez, Quinn Fabray, April Williams, and Mercedes Jones. Congratulations to all of our nominees."
Mercedes could not believe her ears. Was I just nominated for prom queen? How is this even possible? This has got to be some kind of joke. She was snapped out of her thoughts by her phone buzzing;
Congratulations Aretha ~Snixx
Thanks San and congratulations to you ~M
Hey Cedes I am so happy for you ~Q
Thanks Q I am happy for you too ~M
What the hell? ~Sam I Am
I know right how did this happen? ~M
I don't know how you go from most hated on couple to nominated for prom king and queen ~Sam I Am
Exactly what I was thinking but I could see why you were nominated Mr. Star Quarterback and winning the championship :-) ~M
I guess and since my girl is so hot and sexy they felt like they should pity me and nominate me with her :-p ~Sam I Am
Whatever Sam you being nominated was definitely not out of pity ~M
Well whatever I guess we need to make posters or some crap like that, I remember Quinn saying stuff like that when we dated ~Sam I Am
I'm not too into all that but I think we should at least let our presence be known ~M
LOL! We'll figure it out I guess I'll see you in English ~ Sam I Am
Yeah love you ~M
Love you too ~Sam I Am
Mercedes got several people congratulating her in the halls throughout the day. By the time she made to lunch she was tired of telling people thank you and smiling. She walked into the cafeteria and saw her friends sitting at their regular table she walked over to be greeted by Puck;
"Your highness, please grace up with your presence."
Mercedes rolled her eyes "whatever Puck I am not trippin about this whole prom queen thing."
"So you're not going to campaign?" Quinn asked.
"I might put up a poster or two but there is no way I am going to set myself up for disappointment."
"What are you talking about Wheezy? You have just as much of a chance to win as me or Q" Santana said.
"Yeah right, I'm not a Cheerio or the least bit popular and I am pretty sure the only reason I was even nominated was because my boyfriend is the quarterback."
"Mercedes stop it" Sam snapped "you know I hate when you talk like that. You were nominated because you're beautiful, smart, talented, sexy, and people like you and respect you."
"Sam you-"
"Don't you dare say I have to say that because I'm your boyfriend, because that too was a choice and if I didn't think any of those things I said were true then I would not be with you but I am because you are a wonderful, caring person who I love very much and finally people in this crazy school are seeing what I see in you and they nominated you for prom queen."
"I guess I just can't wrap my head around it" Mercedes said "I mean why now? Why not last year? I'm still the same Mercedes Jones."
"See that's where you're wrong" Quinn said "last year Mercedes Jones was moody, easily manipulated, and weak.
"I was not weak" Mercedes snapped.
"You let Rachel walk all over you last year" Santana said "weak."
"You took all of Schue's crap" Quinn said "weak"
"You sat in the background knowing you were way better than Berry and still you let her dim your light so she can shine" Brittney said "weak"
"Ok, ok I get it I'm weak."
"No" Quinn snapped "you were weak as in past tense but this year we have watched you grow into a stronger person that we personally like better."
"Yeah you always claimed to be a diva before but this year we actually saw the TRUE DIVA emerge" Santana said.
"The way you handled the whole New Directions foolishness and got the Trouble Tones together was true Diva" Tina said.
"And we going to Nationals baby" Artie said "you got us there."
"Last year you had to diva out to make your presence known" Sam said "but this year all you have to do is walk in a room and people take notice, that comes from within. Baby you have to know that you're amazing and that has nothing to do with me. It has been inside of you all along."
"I get it you guys" Mercedes said "thank you for saying all that nice stuff about me. It will just take a little time for me to get over the initial shock of all this, but I do appreciate you guys and I love you."
She stood up to leave;
"Where are you going?" Sam asked.
"I got to go clear my head" she said as she turned and walked away.
"We have to help her" Quinn said "because I have seen her do this to herself before and believe me it is not pretty."
"What else can we do?" Santana said "we just sat here and told her how awesome she is and she still doesn't believe us."
"She believes we love her and will say anything to make her feel better" Sam said "but I know Mercy, it takes actions with her. She always tells a me that the words aren't always enough you have to show people you care."
"So let's show her then" Finn said "and it has got to be as Sam says epic."
"Very true" Sam said.
"And I have the perfect idea" Quinn said.
After school they all went to the choir room for glee club;
"Hey everyone" Mrs. Cochran said "before we get started I wanted to say congratulations to Quinn, Mercedes, Santana, Finn, Sam, and Puck all of our prom king and queen nominees. Who knew the Trouble Tones were so full of royalty."
"Yeah we're pretty bad-ass" Puck stated.
"That you all are" Mrs. Cochran said "so let's get started, we need to start focusing on nationals. I understand some of you guys got songs you want to present today."
All the girls except Mercedes came down front;
"We girls wanted to do something special for our captain who for some reason doesn't always see how truly amazing she is and let's other people's views cloud her own. So we just wanted to show and tell her how beautiful we think she is" Quinn said.
The music starts;
Don't look at me
~Santana~
Every day is so wonderful
Then suddenly, it's hard to breathe
Now and then, I get insecure
From all the pain, I'm so ashamed
~Sugar~
I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring me down... Oh no
So don't you bring me down today
~Tina~
To all your friends you're delirious
So consumed in all your doom
Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The pieces gone, left the puzzle undone
That's the way it is
Brittney walked right up to Mercedes and grabbed her hands
~Brittney~
You are beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring you down
You are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring you down, oh, no
So don't you bring me down today...
~ (Sunshine) Trouble Tone girls~
No matter what we do
(No matter what we do)
No matter what we say
(No matter what we say)
We're the song inside the tune
Full of beautiful mistakes
And everywhere we go
(And everywhere we go)
The sun will always shine
(Sun will always shine)
And tomorrow we might wake on the other side
We are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words won't bring us down
We are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring us down, oh, no
So don't you bring me down today
Oh, yeah, don't you bring me down today, yeah
Don't you bring me down ooh... today
Mercedes was smiling with tears coming down "you guys are awesome thank you so much."
"It's not over yet Sexy Mama" Puck said as all the guys except Sam made their way down front "the guys wanted to show you some love too but we had to do it in a totally bad ass way. We hope you can excuse the language Mrs. C."
~Kurt~
Made a wrong turn once or twice
Dug my way out, blood and fire
Bad decisions, that's alright
Welcome to my silly life
~Blaine~
Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood
Miss 'No way, it's all good'
It didn't slow me down.
Mistaken, always second guessing
Underestimated, look I'm still around
~Artie~
Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than fucking perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing, you're fucking perfect to me
~Puck (Artie) ~
You're so mean (so mean) when you talk (when you talk)
About yourself you were wrong.
Change the voices (change the voices) in your head (in your head)
Make them like you instead.
~Joe & Finn~
So complicated,
Look how we all make it.
Filled with so much hatred
Such a tired game
It's enough, I've done all I could think of
Chased down all my demons
I've seen you do the same
(Oh oh)
~All~
Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than fucking perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing, you're fucking perfect to me
~Mike~
The whole worlds scared so I swallowed the fear
The only thing I should be drinking is an ice cold beer
So cool and line and we try, try, try
But we try to hard it's a waste of my time.
Done looking for the critics cause they everywhere
They don't like my jeans, they don't get my hair
Exchange ourselves and we do it all the time
Why do we do that, why do I do that (why do I do that)?
(Yeah! Oh!)
I'm pretty, pretty, pretty
~All (Blaine) ~
Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than fucking perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing, you're fucking perfect to me
(You're perfect, you're perfect)
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing, you're fucking perfect to me.
"We know that you don't always think you are appreciated for being who you are Mercedes but please know that we think you are awesome and a true diva." Blaine said.
Mercedes was feeling overwhelmed by all this love and the tears would not stop coming. "Thank you guys I appreciate this so much."
"Can you take one more?" Sam asked.
"I guess I can" she said smiling.
"You said earlier that you were the same person you were last year and I wanted to let you know that is so not true. And I know I said your change had nothing to do with me but I was wrong because loving you changed me and you loving me changed you too.
He grabs his guitar and nods for Brad to play;
Maybe the world doesn't see you and maybe they don't understand.
Just cause you don't see the footprints don't mean that there not in the sand.
I know your surrounded by strangers it feels so alone in your heart.
But when everyone stands in the darkness no one can tell them apart.
Now everyone has their own stories and nobody's ends quite the same. Our love for the days in the sunshine, are born from the nights in the rain.
The guys back him up
But love brings change
(Love brings changes)
Love brings change
(Love brings changes)
Oh love brings change when you need it
(Love, love, love brings change)
When you look eye to eye with and angel, don't mean that it's always the end.
Sometimes it's the start of a new blessing that comes in the form of a friend.
Now we all live in fear of when that day will come when memories are all we can hold.
The fire that burns is a natural love and it keeps us both warm when it's cold.
Sam looked directly in her eyes
Now all I wanna do is see ya laugh again and see that same joy in your eyes.
I know that you're trying you just keep on smiling and everything passes with time.
Cause love brings change.
(Love brings changes)
Oh love brings change
(Love brings changes)
Love brings change it's a fact
(Love, love brings change)
Love brings change
Be still (be still) wait on it (wait on it)
On the blessings girl (on the blessings girl)
In the morning time yeah (Oh)
Be still (be still) wait on it (wait on it)
Change is gonna come oh, oh
"Your true self has come out Mercy and you deserve everything that comes along with it."
"Thank you" she said with tears in her eyes "thank you all I am done throwing my pity party and you're all right I have changed and for the better if I say so myself. So can we move on from this and focus on nationals please."
"You heard your captain" Mrs. Cochran said "let's get to work."
After class was over Mercedes waited for Sam by his locker.
"Are you waiting for me?" Sam said.
"I am" she said "I wanted to tell you that I love you."
"I love you too Mercy."
"I love you so much Sam and you loving me changed me for the better and I want to thank you so much for being in my life."
"You make it so easy to love you babe."
She wrapped her hands around his neck and pulled him down to kiss his lips. They kissed each other so passionately and deeply. Mercedes let all the emotions she was feeling from earlier till now out in that kiss. She wanted Sam to feel the way he made her feel while singing that song to her. When their lungs beg them to separate they broke apart.
"Wow Mercy if that was a thank you kiss, I need to do whatever I did to deserve that more often" Sam said trying to catch his breath.
Mercedes laughed
"So let's get out of here and go work on prom posters because I think we deserve to win" Sam said.
"Really, you want to actually campaign for this?" she asked.
"Yes, I can't see a better queen than you. This school would be lucky to have you as their queen."
"Well I'm grateful you're my king."
"And you are my queen." He kissed her one more time "let us now go your highness."
