A/N: Here we are with yet another fic brought to you by political princess! This one takes place during their senior year in high school, and of course, it is a TJ/Spinelli. Enjoy!

Eighteen- year- old TJ Detweiler paced around his bedroom, waiting for his best friend Vince LaSalle to come over. The two were planning on going to the mall for last minute tuxedo fittings for the prom and were going to get some dinner afterwards. Prom night. The one night high school students waited for-the night girls spent far too much time getting ready and boys worried about whether they would be the only ones not getting laid. (A/N: I got this from American Pie-I never went to my prom, so I'm basing this on what I've been told) But for TJ it was different. Not only would the prom mark the end of his senior year, but it was also his four year anniversary with his girlfriend, Ashley Spinelli. He had something very special planned for her that night, and he only hoped that she would be happy with it.

"TJ! Vince is here!" his mom called from downstairs.

"OK, mom, be right there!" TJ called back as he grabbed his wallet and car keys and headed downstairs. After kissing his mother goodbye, he and Vince left for the mall.

"So you are really going to do it, Teej?" Vince asked as TJ drove.

"I am, I mean, we have been dating since the eighth grade, and been best friends since kindergarten. I totally trust her and she totally trusts me, plus we love each other with all of our hearts. Prom night is the perfect night for this." TJ said, changing the radio station and letting Sean Hannity's voice fill the car. (Points to whoever knows who Sean Hannity is!)

"Have you even discussed it? I mean, you don't want to scare her and catch her off guard." Vince warned as he fiddled with the volume button on the radio.

"We have, and she told me that she is ready whenever I am and she trusts my judgment one hundred percent." TJ pulled into the parking lot and looked for a place to park. "Man, it's crowded today," he commented, pulling into the last available parking spot.

"I know, everyone must be doing some sort of prom shopping." The boys got out of the car and walked towards the malls entrance.

"Vin, remember we parked in front of Sears," TJ told him as the walked into the store.

"Got it." Vince smiled. "You never remember where you park your car, do you, man?"

"Nope, half the time Spinelli has to write it down for me," TJ said, walking into the tuxedo store and giving the receptionist their names.

Vince laughed. "Typical TJ, you never remember where you park your car, yet you expect to pull off this thing for Spinelli."

"Dude, I can handle it, just remember your part of the plan, otherwise the rest of it is going to go wrong."

"Chill, Teej, I have it under control," Vince said as their names were called for their fittings.

"Good, I'm just nervous, I never did this before, so I am afraid that something is going to go wrong," TJ looked in the mirror checking out the tux he was wearing. He had to admit he looked pretty darn good. All those years of track and bodybuilding had definitely paid off.

"You look good, Teej, Spinelli is going to be blown away, between the way you look and your surprise, she is going to be the happiest girl in the world!" Vince assured him, checking out his own reflection in the mirror.

"Thanks, you look great too. By the way, you never told me who you are taking to the prom." TJ said as they headed back to the fitting room to change.

"I still don't have a date. Gretch and Mikey are going together, and Gus is going with Theresa. The Ashleys all have dates, of course so I have no idea who to ask." Vince walked out of the store with TJ following.

"That whomps, man. Ask Swinger Girl. You two always got along, and I know she doesn't have a date yet."

"I guess, it's just that I am still in love with Gretchen, and it's hard seeing her with another guy. I mean, I know she's your cousin and all, but still." (A/N: I made them cousins because I always thought they looked alike for some reason-like they could be cousins or something)

"I know what you mean. I still think it's odd those two are dating, but whatever, as long as they are happy." TJ and Vince walked into a nearby store that sold part of what TJ was planning on giving Spinelli on Prom night.

As TJ talked to the salesman, Vince couldn't help but feel a little bit jealous of his friend. TJ was so lucky-he was popular, smart, and was dating one of the most beautiful, respected girls in school. He only wished that he would one day be in TJ's shoes, planning a wonderful surprise for the girl he loved.

"You ready?" TJ asked him. Vince blinked a few times. He had been so caught up in his thoughts that he didn't notice TJ had finished talking to the salesman and was waiting for him.

"Yeah, I'm ready. You want to get something to eat?" Vince asked, trying to get his mind off his jealousy.

"Yeah, I'm starving!" The boys left the store and headed off towards the food court.

"So everything is going according to plan?" Vince asked him as they settled down in McDonalds with their food.

"Yes, and thank goodness!" TJ laughed as he bit into his burger. "I am still afraid something is going to go wrong and the whole plan is going to backfire."

"It won't, things are going to go just fine." Vince assured him. "You have only been planning this since January, everything is going to go well, I promise. Spinelli is going to be thrilled when she sees what you have planned for her."

"You really think so?" TJ asked worriedly, sipping his soda.

"Yes, I can almost guarantee it!" Vince told him confidently.

A/N: so chapter one is done! What exactly does TJ have planned for Spinelli? Will she be happy with it? Will Vince find a date to the prom? Keep reading to find out! R/R, but remember the golden rule, if you can't say something nice, don't say it at all! Happy reading!
