Part two! I hope you enjoy!
"Sweetie! You don't have to do this!" Will assured his anxious girlfriend as she paced back and forth. Emma had put on her one pair of jeans with a yellow tank top and orange cardigan. It was the most casual ensemble she could muster.
"No! I'll be fine!" Emma paced their living room floor. "We're just going to the new club on Fifth Street for drinks and karaoke. It should be fun!" She tried to assure herself more than him.
"Are you going to drink?" Will eyed her; he didn't like the idea of his sweet Emma going anywhere with Sue Sylvester.
"Oh gosh no! I've only had alcohol twice in my life. Once…I had champagne…at my cousin Debbie's wedding. It made my throat hurt." She rambled. "The other time was when I chaperoned Prom last year and they spiked the punch…I actually didn't even know it was from a community bowl at first…that's what I get for trusting Ken with drinks…" She forced a chuckle out.
"Em! Calm down." Will laughed pulling her to sit next to him on the couch. "Are you nervous about the club or spending two hours with Sue?"
"Both!" Emma groaned and leaned her head back. "But for all I know, she really is sad about her Hamster dying. I know when I was ten, I had a really hard time getting over my goldfish, Cranium, got decapitated."
"Pardon?" Will raised his eyebrows.
"It was a bad day Will…I don't like to talk about it."
"Okay."
Just then the doorbell rang. Emma whimpered and gave him a hug before standing up. Will sighed and followed her to the front door.
"Okay baby. If you do decide to have a drink, call me! I'll come pick you up." He instructed, feeling every bit like a father on Prom Night. "And no matter what Sue says, do not leave the city, state, or country! The fireworks and marijuana are just as good in the U.S." He tried to relax her with a joke. It only seemed to make her more anxious.
"I love you." He said quickly, taking her face in his hands and giving her a quick peck on the lips. "Be careful." She nodded.
"I love you." She whispered, opening the door to reveal Sue. She was wearing her red sweat suit.
"Hello ladies!" She greeted. Will rolled his eyes.
"Hi Sue." He muttered, helping Emma button her purple pea coat. "How are you this evening?" Sue shrugged.
"I'm just dandy William! I talked to some of the gals from the cheer center. They said they'd meet up with us there! They're dying to meet ya Pip-squeak!" She patted Emma's back.
"Wait! Sue you didn't say other people would be there!" Will pulled his girlfriend back to him be her shoulders.
"It was a last minute thing! Jeeze Will cut the cord! She'll be fine!" Sue argued yanking Emma's arm. "We'll see ya later dad!"
"Sue! Don't make her…" Will began to warn, but the woman was already in her car. He sighed and waved at Emma who still looked very nervous in the passenger seat of a car that she had never been in before. "I love you!" He mouthed, before blowing her a kiss.
This was going to be a difficult night for everyone.

The club was a lot louder, and more crowded than Emma would have preferred. She never thought she'd stick so close to Sue in her life, but she was terrified. The two approached a high top table where three very tall-and very drunk-women were sitting.
"Gladys, Jules, Raquel- this is Erma!" Sue introduced Emma to the giggling trio.
"It's Emma…" The small redhead corrected laying her jacket down on a stool before sitting on it.
"Oh they can't understand you kiddo. They're a bit tipsy." Sue informed her.
"Shut…up…Sue…I feel fine!" Jules slurred slamming, what looked to be, her third Cosmo down on the table. "It's v-very nice to meet you Erm- Ermine!"
Emma sighed and smiled politely at the intoxicated Amazon. She was ready to reach into her purse and send a text to Will begging for him to come and get her, but Sue interrupted her train of thought.
"What do you want to drink Red?" She shouted over the obnoxious techno music.
"Water's fine!"
"Oh please! We're here to party!" Gladys butted in. "Live a little! What are you a Grandma?"
"No! I just…um…don't like the taste of alcohol." Emma replied fidgeting. She suddenly felt like she was going to be sick.
"Do you like tea?" Sue inquired looking at the drink menu. Emma shrugged with a small smile.
"That's fine!"
"Okay, I'll go get you some iced tea Ernie! I'll be right back!"
"Thank you!" She was relieved that at least Sue was going easy on her. Her three cohorts on the other hand were looking at her like a group of lionesses circling a zebra.
"How do you know Sue, Emily?" Raquel asked as she sipped her dark blue beverage.
"We teach at the same school."
"What do you teach?" Jules was polite enough to pretend to be interested.
"I'm actually a guidance counselor."
"Oh, like a shrink?"
"Or like a guidance counselor." Emma gritted through her teeth. Why did she agree to this?
Finally, Sue returned with a Grasshopper for herself, and a large glass of a russet liquid. "Here you are! A Long Island Iced Tea!" She presented the cold beverage.
"Thanks Sue!" Emma smiled and took a straw out of her handbag to put the drink. After taking a large sip of it, she had to shake her head. "Um…this tastes weird…" She bit her lip and examined the drink.
"Well he had to mix it!" Sue explained, giving her friends a wink. "They're not accustomed to making tea, so it might be a little off. But it's fine!"
"I think he put alcohol in it." Emma's eyes narrowed as she took another small sip.
"No, you're probably just smelling our drinks!" Raquel quickly inputted. "That always happens to me! Sometimes, I'd be drinking a Spritzer, and it would taste just like tequila because I can smell Gladys's Margarita!" She giggled and nearly fell off her stool.
"Oh!" Emma nodded and took another swallow. "It is kind of good!"
//15 minutes later//
"Sue! Sue! Sue! Sue!" Emma's voice pulled the Cheerio Coach out of her conversation with a man at the bar. "Sue! Look Sue!" The red head had hoisted herself up onto a tabletop and took off her high heels.
"Good! Now jump!" Sue called before turning back to the man. "I have no idea what that is." She told him, pointing at the drunk redhead.
"Sue! I think I might throw up…and down…" Emma giggled. People standing around the table were quick to move away. "Sue! Sue! Sue!"
"What Irving?!?" Sue snapped turning fully around.
"Wow! Someone woke up on the bed…the bed with the bad side…the wrong part…" Emma sat on the table and held her stomach. "I feel bad…I think that tea had mercury in it…"
"Oh, poor kid!" Sue feigned concern. "Let me get you a Sprite!" She turned to the bartender and ordered a Sprite with Vodka.
Well! Chapter 3 should be up within the next day or so! Please Review! It helps to know I have readers!!
