Kate's POV
Prom was this week and I couldn't help but be excited about. I mean what girl isn't excited about prom? Well probably ones who couldn't get dates. I didn't have that problem because I was going with Blake. Yes, I was taking someone from a different school. The school didn't have a rule saying that I had to bring a date from our school. That probably wouldn't be a very popular idea because I imagined that I wasn't the only one who had a significant other who went to another day. I probably did have the sexiest though.
It made me feel better that I wasn't the only one going with another girl. I was a little upset that she hadn't chosen me, but I was glad that I was right in detecting that she had feelings for Quinn. I probably saw it before she did, which meant that I had excellent gaydar.
We saw in the choir room as we waited for Mr. Schue to appear. He said that he had some kind of announcement and I couldn't help but wonder if it was that Figgins wanted us to provide the music for prom. I didn't know why he couldn't just pay for a DJ. I was wearing a black lace flared sleeveless dress with black tights and heels.
"So I have some news." He stated after he walked in. "Principal Figgins wants us to provide the music for prom."
I totally called it.
"I know this isn't the most convenient thing with Nationals coming up." He declared. I would think that any chance to sing in public would be good practice for Nationals. "That's why we'll take shifts performing so each of you can have time to dance with your dates. I want this night to be fun for everyone."
After school, Felicity and I were going shopping for our prom dresses together. I was glad that we were going to be doing something like this as sisters.
"So I can't believe that we're both going to prom with girls." She told me.
"It's not that hard to believe considering that we both have girlfriends." I pointed out.
"Still, I never thought that we would be in this place last year." She declared.
"Well things can change a lot in a year." I replied. "Last year I had just broken up with my girlfriend and didn't get to go to prom."
"You probably wouldn't have had much fun anyway." She said as she came out wearing a black flared dress with red roses on it. "How do I look?"
"I think you should really do something with your hair." I commented. I then had an idea. "I could style it for you."
"I didn't know that you knew anything about hairstyling." She commented.
"Of course I do." I replied. "Also make sure that you wear red heels with that dress.
"I don't know why I have to wear heels." She stated. "Quinn isn't that much taller than me."
"She will be if she's wearing heels and you're not." I pointed out.
"Why do you have to be right?" She asked before going back into the stall.
Felicity's POV
I came out wearing the blue tee and jeans that I had come in with.
"So do you know what Quinn's going to be wearing?" Kate asked.
"She said that she wants it to be a surprise." I explained. "Now if you excuse me, I need to get home."
Kate's POV
I wanted to stay a little longer to find the perfect dress. Maybe I didn't need it because it was only junior prom, but I still wanted to look magnificent. It was my first time going to a formal and I wanted it to be memorable.
"Kate?" A voice interrupted my thoughts. I looked to see Sara across from me wearing a pale green dress. "I didn't expect to see you here."
"Why not?" I asked.
"I just thought you'd have your dress picked out months in advance." She replied.
"Nope, I haven't picked anything yet." I declared.
"Well I'm sure you'll look great in whatever you get told me." She told me. I just blushed at that.
On the way home, I began to sing to myself.
Honey why you calling me so late
It's kinda hard to talk right now
Honey why you crying is everything okay
I gotta whisper cause I can't be too loud
My girl's in the next room, sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name it sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel, hearing those words it makes me weak
And I never wanna say goodbye but girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
It's funny that you're calling me tonight
And yes I dreamt of you too
Doesn't know you're talking to me will it start a fight
No I don't think she has a clue
My girl's in the next room, sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name it sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel, hearing those words it makes me weak
And I never wanna say goodbye but girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
On prom night, I prepared for the dance and put my dress on. I knew that Blake was there, but I was still working on my dress and my makeup. My hair was curled and tied into a bun with a few ringlets hanging down before I finally got my blue and green strapless gown on. I wore it with the only pair of matching heels that I could find. I walked into the living room to see Blake was there in her ruffled periwinkle gown with my dad and Felicity.
"Wow, you look amazing." She stated.
"You don't look so bad yourself." I commented.
"Can we hurry up with the pictures because I want to go pick Quinn up?" Felicity declared.
"Someone doesn't know very much about being patient." I remarked.
I posed for a few pictures with Blake and Dad also wanted to take some of me and Felicity together. Interestingly, there weren't any pictures of the three of us together, but I supposed it was because there wasn't any need for them. If Quinn was here, that would be a different story, but she wasn't so we didn't need any.
Felicity's POV
After leaving the house, we headed over to Quinn's to pick her up. Kate and Blake were going to be waiting in the window. I was pretty sure that they weren't going to have sex in there because you weren't supposed to do that until after you left the dance.
I stood at the bottom of the stairs with her mom and Beth as we waited for her to come down. Kate had styled my hair so I was sporting some royal-looking curls. The situation made me a little bit nervous, but my tension was eased by the adorable sight of Beth in her little prom dress.
Finally, Quinn came down in her single-strap dress with a white bodice and blue skirt. She looked amazing, even though it wasn't what I expected her to wear.
"I need to take some pictures." Judy stated.
"Mom, we're going to be late." Quinn complained. I couldn't help but wonder if all parents were like that.
Kate's POV
When we got to the prom, I couldn't help but notice that Sam and Artie were singing an up-tempo song.
When people keep repeating
That you'll never fall in love
When everybody keeps retreating
But you can't seem to get enough
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
To your heart
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
When everything feels all over
Everybody seems unkind
I'll give you a four leaf clover
Take all worry out of your mind
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
To your heart
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
I have the only key to your heart
I can stop you falling apart
Try today, you'll find this way
Come on and give me a chance to say
Let my love open the door, it's all I'm living for
Release yourself from misery
There's only one thing gonna set you free
That's my love, that's my love
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
I could tell from first glance that it seemed like people were having fun. That was the thing that I wanted more from the dance than anything else. Even though my name was in the running for prom queen, I just wanted everyone to have fun above all else. I didn't know what I would do if I ended up winning prom queen.
For some reason, Mr. Schue was okay with Blake singing a song even though she wasn't part of the group nor did she even go to the school, but I liked hearing her sing, so I was okay with it.
We get it almost every night
When that moon is big and bright
It's a supernatural delight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight
Dancing in the moonlight
Everybody's feeling warm and bright
It's such a fine and natural sight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight
Everybody here is out of sight
They don't bark and they don't bite
They keep things loose they keep it tight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight
Dancing in the moonlight
Everybody's feeling warm and bright
It's such a fine and natural sight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight
We get in almost every night
And when that moon is big and bright
It's a supernatural delight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight
Dancing in the moonlight
Everybody's feeling warm and bright
It's such a fine and natural sight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight
Well we really weren't dancing in the moonlight because we were indoors but we were dancing at night, so I supposed that it was close enough. I also knew that Blake sounded good singing it and that was good too. Of course, I liked it better when she wasn't singing because it meant that I got to dance with her.
Soon the moment that everyone had been waiting came up. Well I hadn't been waiting for it, but I assumed that most people had. I saw Figgins had the envelope in hand.
"Attention, everyone, will the nominees for Prom King and Queen please come to the stage." He instructed. I walked onto the stage and so did Quinn and Santana. I still couldn't believe that they were doing separate proms for juniors and seniors. How did the school afford something like that? It also meant that there would be two crowns given out for each prom, which sounded even more expensive. "This year's Prom Queen is Kate Hummel."
The tiara was put on my head. I couldn't believe that I had won. I didn't expect to win. I wondered who was going to win the king.
"And the winner of this year's Prom King by way of an enormous amount of write-in votes is…Sara Morrison." Figgins declared. There was a silence and then I saw Sara run out of the gym. I did the only thing that I could think of and followed her.
Felicity's POV
Quinn ran out of the gym after hearing the results. I was a bit conflicted. I wanted to be happy that Kate had won, but I was also sad that Quinn was sad.
"I want to go to a different school." She cried. "I was supposed to win. How did I not win? If two girls were going to win, why couldn't it have been us?"
"I don't know." I replied. "But you shouldn't cry over this. So what you didn't win prom queen. You're still queen to me."
"You always know how to make me feel better." She said.
Kate's POV
I found Sara in the cafeteria. She was crying. I tried to think of what to say to her to make her feel better. I decided the first thing that I would do was listen.
"This is why I didn't want people to know about this." Sara declared. "People hate you for being you."
"You think that I don't know this?" I replied.
"How do you deal with it?" She asked.
"You just tell yourself that no amount of bullying will change who you are." I explained. "Things should have been different between us. I do know that if you don't go back out there, the haters win and you can't let that happen."
She took my hand and we headed back to the gym. I knew I was supposed to dance with her and she seemed to be okay with it. Felicity was supposed to sing the song during the dance.
When I first saw you, I saw love
And the first time you, I felt love
And after all this time, you're still the one I love
Looks like we made it, look how far we've come my baby
We might've took the long way, we knew we'd get there some day
They said I bet they'll never make it but just look at us holding on
We're still together still going strong
(You're still the one) You're still the one I run to, the one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life (You're still the one)
You're still the one that I love, the only one that I dream of
You're still the one I kiss good night
Aint nothing better, we beat the odds together
I'm glad we didn't listen, look at what we would be missing
They said I bet they'll never make it but just look at us holding on
We're still together still going strong
(You're still the one) You're still the one I run to, the one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life (You're still the one)
You're still the one that I love, the only one that I dream of
You're still the one I kiss good night
As we danced, one thing ran through my mind. What if Sara winning Prom King wasn't done as a joke? What if it was because the student body wanted us to date?
So it looks like there's a bit of a love triangle brewing between Sara, Kate, and Blake. How will that turn out? The songs are "Lips of an Angel." by Hinder, "Let My Love Open the Door" by Pete Townsend, "Dancing in the Moonlight" by King Harvest and "You're Still the One" by Shania Twain. Please don't forget to review.
