"And the winners of this years prom king and queen, by write-in vote, are..." Principal Figgans announced over the loudspeaker. The class of about a hundred or so students stood around anxiously. The five boys and five girls already on stage looked down at the rest smugly, all sure of their impending win. Little did they know the winners weren't even present on the stage; in fact, they were on the sidelines, unaware that their names had even been written on that fancy parchment. "...McKinley High, your 2012 Prom king and queen are- Finn Hudson, and Quinn Fabray!" The room shook with a thunderous applause. On one end of the dimly lit gym a spotlight illuminated Finn jumped and cheered, Rachel clung to his side and congratulated her ecstatic fiancé. On the other end, Quinn smiled shyly and debonairly made her way to the stage to receive her crown. Finn stomped and stumbled up behind her, hooting and hollering the whole way. The fragile crown was gently set on Quinn's neatly curled head of blonde hair and she smiled graciously and stepped away for Finn to be crowned. He took the crown and set it awkwardly on his large head before hopping off the stage and attempting to crowd surf. Rachel watched from the very front edge of the crowd, eyes wide in admiration. The crowd let Finn down and cleared, returning to their cliques and smaller groups. Rachel expected Finn to automatically return to her side, to call her his queen and steal her away into the night in some grandiose gesture. But instead he escaped to the side of the gym, surrounded by the glee guys and football team, being congratulated on his win. Rachel sighed, and sat at a table on her own since all the other couples were dancing. Before the song even ended, Finn and the guys were gone to who knows where, and Rachel sighed again. She twiddled with the decorations on the table for a while when a figure appeared in front of her and held out a hand. Rachel smiled "Finn!" she said and looked up. It wasn't Finn. Quinn stood tall in front of her smiling back, holding her hand out for Rachel. The shorter girl didn't take the hand, instead she turned away to hide the years forming in her eyes. "My boyfriend just won prom king, and he's not even here to celebrate it with me." Rachel sobbed. Quinn silently grabbed the girl by the arm and sped away to the bathroom before anyone could see her cry. When they reached the bathroom, mascara dripped down Rachel's soft cheeks. Quinn dampened a paper town and wiped the mess away, and smiled. "This is really familiar." the blonde reminisced. Rachel chuckled "Only last year I was wiping your cheeks. And you were with Finn." "Well, alot has changed." Quinn said "You know...I don't even want this." Rachel tilted her head in confusion "What do you mean?" Quinn took the crown off her head and set it in the sink "Being prom queen isn't the most important thing in my world anymore. My priorities changed, I have something so much more important in my life now. I've had it this whole time and I never realized how special it was until it hit me square in the face." she tossed the make up covered tissues in the trash. "There," Quinn said and examined Rachel. "all better." "What's the thing that's special to you now?" Rachel asked. Quinn didn't answer, she simply took the crown from off the sink and set it on Rachel's head delicately.
