Savannah's Pov

"Okay, is there a reason this bus smells like rotten toast?" I asked, much louder than I needed to be.

"You have heightened sense of smell. No one else smells it but you." Quinn spat out nastily.

I wondered what was with her attitude to me. We were friends a month ago…..

"Uhm, no. I smell that shit too. It reeks like smelly cheese in here." Puck defended me.

"And feet." Kurt chimed in.

I have to remember to thank them later.

"I know guys. Just sit tight, Ms. Pillsbury is bringing some febreze right now just…. Just sit tight."

Quinn just glared nastily at Finn and I, before turning in her seat with a roll of her eyes to face front. Sam rubbed her back, and she stiffly snuggled closer to his side.

Finn leaned in closer to me and whispered in my ear, "I don't know why she is acting like this. She cheated on me. She's so selfish."

Finn shook his head and huffed in frustration before he (very cutely might I add) laid his head on my shoulder.

I dropped my head onto his head and stayed quiet. Quinn may not have been the greatest friend, but she was fun to talk to when she wasn't plotting the demise of someone else.

Kurt turned and leaned over the back of his seat to face us. "I can almost positively say that her bitchy demeanor has something to do with you going to prom with her ex."

"But that's not fair. She is the one who decided to get naked with Sam while she was still in a relationship. That's not my fault she lost him, she was just being selfish." Finn was nodding in agreement as I ranted at a normal volume. "If she wasn't getting what she wanted from Finn, she should've broken up with him before hurting him like that!"

And too late, I realized I should've probably whispered that. Damn me and being too loud. People a few rows up were staring at me now, including Quinn and Sam. Quinn actually stood up and walked over to me.

I don't know if Quinn frightened me or not.

I'm not a violent person. I have never been in a fight before, and I don't know why the look in her eye right now is making me feel afraid of her, but it does. I grabbed Finn's thigh and dug my fingernails in.

And I don't know why I thought that would defend me against Quinn, because Finn wouldn't hit a girl. But I think it made me feel better inside to be touching him somehow besides his arm around my shoulder.

"What did you say?" She sneered.

The part of me raised by my parents told me that I should gulp, show that I am afraid, and say, 'look, I don't want any trouble'. But another part of me was pissed off at the way that she thinks she can treat Finn the way she did and still have some kind of claim over him.

Yeah, my big mouth was about to get me into trouble.

"Uhm, I think if I wanted you to hear what I just said, I'd have said it louder. But since you're so curious, I said that you don't have a right to be a bitch to me all of the sudden."

Quinn was right above me now.

"No you didn't. You said I'm selfish."

I looked around me to the other New Directions for some reassurance that I wasn't alone. No one commented, so I said what we were all thinking.

"Uh, you are selfish."

Quinn huffed, and opened her mouth-

"That's enough ladies! The bus is leaving now, and everyone needs to sit back in their seats. We don't need this kind of animosity before the competition either, so drop it! Or at least save it until AFTER we win Nationals."

Everyone cheered as Ms. Pillsbury walked onto the bus and the engine revved to life, and the bus doors closed. Everyone but Kurt, Finn, Quinn and I. We just stared at each other.

"Quinn." Mr. Schue said with a hand on her shoulder.

"You're gonna regret saying that." She said still glaring at me and with a quiver in her voice.

Finn started to talk beside me with a lot of defense in his voice. "Quinn, why don't you leave Savannah alone and stop being such a bitch for once okay?! You cheated on me! I wanted to be with you! Only you, and you decided to go off and be with Sam. It's been like two months, so I moved on! Let it go!"

Quinn's eyes started to water a bit, and she didn't look like she was breathing. "You are not good enough for him. I hope you know that you are just his pity date. He's giving a smile to the pregnant girl so you won't choke during your solo on stage, and we'll win nationals."

"That's enough Quinn!" Mr. Schue shouted.

Tears welled up in my eyes and threatened to spill over in about 3, 2,-

"You know what Quinn? You're always acting crazy somehow! Just stop trying to tear everyone down and go back to your boyfriend!" Kurt said now in Quinn's face.

"Are you okay Savannah?" Finn whispered to me, making me tune out of Mr. Schue and Kurts talking now.

I was crying, and I couldn't even tell if it was because I believed Quinn, or because of my hormones. I guess it didn't matter. I'm sitting here embarrassing myself crying on my 'not-boyfriend.'

"That's not true is it?" I asked him, now looking into his brown eyes.

"Of course not!" He said quickly, putting a firm hand on my shoulder.

Okay. I need to get it together. I am not that self-deprecating. I knew she was lying. I don't know why I started crying. Unnecessary.

With a final dirty look at Kurt, Finn and I, she returned to her seat, and I turned to look into Finns eyes, and surely, he could see the hurt in them still, because he tightened his hold on me, and whispered, "She's lying. I wouldn't do that to you."

Blaine Pov

To say I was busy, was an understatement. Since I apparently did so well yesterday, now more is expected of me. I have been frantically typing for the past hour and a half. I feel like I'm about to explode if I type one more number. Thank god for my break.

Hey babe! I miss you. I'm losing my mind here at work right now. Sooooo MUCH PAPERWORK! How's the trip going? –Blaine

He texted back in no time at all. I wonder if he was staring at his phone waiting like I was constantly glancing at my phone waiting for him to text me.

The bus left a half an hour ago, and the New Direction New Day-Drama began before we even left the parking lot. This is gonna be a fun trip. Wish you were here. –Kurt

I smiled to myself and typed out a quick response.

I wish I was there too. But you'll be back Thursday night right? –Blaine

Two more days not seeing him. I didn't see him this morning because I totally slept in until the last minute. I was up writing my paper until midnight. But now he'll be gone today, Wednesday for the competition, and flying back on Thursday evening after the club gets some New York exploring done.

What I wouldn't do to be in New York with him.

Bzzt bzzt!

Yeap. But we won't see each other until probably Friday morning. : ( I miss you already. -Kurt

I miss him too. He has no clue.

Time will pass in no time babe! I promise. And once you get into New York, you won't even remember my name. lol. –Blaine

I'm kidding. He'd better not forget me that easy.

I'm rolling my eyes at you right now. I couldn't forget you if I tried. You're too gorgeous. –Kurt

Ok he's got that backwards.

*Blush* -Blaine

It's true. : ) so, I will see you in about 5o hours Give or take a few. –Kurt

Why did him saying that only remind me that I have a headache? The reminder that he'll be gone that long or the number part of it?

Gah! No numbers babe! Please! No numbers! –Blaine

I chuckled. I am so not being dramatic. I never want to hear another number in my life.

Lol! Ok. Sorry. O_o -Kurt

So what's the latest ND drama? Fill me in? I have 5 more minutes. -Blaine

I love hearing about the Mckinley glee club. Despite how much I think they are crazy, they're constant drama makes for my entertainment. I wonder what will change when I transfer in the fall.

God where do I start? –Kurt

I laughed and sat back in my chair. I'd better get comfortable.

That bad? –Blaine

You have no idea! Are you sure you even want to know? – Kurt

Please! I really do now! Entertain me! –Blaine

I wish my break was longer. I could hear Kurt talk all day.

Or rather read what he's written. You know what I mean. The messages started coming in every few seconds as he typed them out.

Ok, you asked for it. Lol. –Kurt

Let's see. Mr. Schue saved your baby mama from a slap to the face. She was being sassy Savvy to the superior Ms Fabray and then it got really femme fighty until Finn and I stepped in to rip Q a new one. –Kurt

What? Quinn would've smacked Savannah? And Fighty? Did they fight?

They were fighting? Is Savannah okay? What happened? –Blaine

All I could think of was 'babies', and waited impatiently for his next text.

No no no. they didn't fight. They didn't touch each other, they just brutalized each other with words. It was really female. Savannah said Q was selfish, and then Quinn said that Sav was just Finn's pity date, and Savannah would pay, and it was just….. stupid really. I'll tell you more in person. –Kurt

My panic dissipated at that, but I am very curious to hear this story.

KK. Continue. That just required a comment. Haha. –Blaine

Kurt texted back in no time.

I agree. I knew you'd comment on that. Lol. So, let's see…. what else? –Kurt

Oh Artie is sitting on Mercades' lap, and Brittany is looking very jealous despite the fact that she and Santana are dating now. –Kurt

I thought Brittany and Artie were really cute, but I think Brittany and Santana together would be cool. The more open LGBTQ at Mckinley, the better. And Artie and Mercades? I saw them together at prom. I ship them. They're cute. MercArtie? ArtCedes?

(yeah, apparently my gaydar sucks, cus I didn't see that one coming.) –Kurt

I laughed out loud at that one. I kind of thought she might be ever since the Night of Neglect concert. She and Brittany seemed a lot more the just friends. I don't know how Kurt didn't see it.

Mr. Schue has absolutely NO game, and it's embarrassing. –Kurt

I snorted.

Finn has been blindly stroking Savannah's hair for the better part of an hour with an enormous goofy smile on his face. You'd think she hung the moon! XD! –Kurt

That's how I look at you Kurt. I don't judge him in the slightest. If he is falling for her, I think it's cute. The less stress on Savannah, the better. And seeing them at prom made me smile. They're really cute together. They fit. Of course my smile was already permanently planted that night because of what I knew was coming that night, but still.

And last, Sam has been trying to keep Quinn's interest with movie character impressions, but mostly she just keeps glancing over at Finn. Pretty hopeless though I think. –Kurt

Oh yeah, she should give up now. I think Finanna is on. Whether he's asked her officially or not.

Wow… Just, wow! How can such a small glee club have so much drama? You guys should have a TV show. –Blaine

Not kidding. –Blaine

IKR? I should totally be paid for having to endure some of this ridiculousness. Lol. Just wait until you're here. It'll be even more nuts I bet –Kurt

"Bring it." I said to myself. I'll miss my Warblers, but I can't wait.

Looking forward to it. : ) –Blaine

"Hey! Anderson! Break is over. Get your sweet ass back to my office." Sebastian called from the break room archway.

I rolled my eyes.

"I mean your desk." He corrected with a Meer cat smirk.

I sighed, and got up when he was out of sight, and headed back to work.

Hey babe, I have to go back to work, but please, I have my own little office spot, so you can text me. I might not respond a long message, but I want to know everything. I love you. –Blaine

He texted back when I got to my desk, and booted the computer.

: ) Not bad timing for your boss man for once. We have to get on the plane now anyway. I love you too. I'll text you before we take off, and then when we land. : ) –Kurt

Perfect.

Now back to work.

"Ain't it, a perfect harmony."

We were in the hotel room rehearsing vocal, and as we sang the last line, Savannah and I turned to Mr. Schue for approval, and he just clapped us on the back.

"Good guys. You're getting better each time."

We high fived and went to sit back on a bed. Savannah laid her head on my shoulder.

"Alright, Quinn and Sam, let's go! Show us what you've got!"

They both got up, Sam looking excited, pumped and ready, but Quinn looked bore.

"If she screws this up because she has an attitude, I swear…" I whispered in savannah's ear for no one else to hear."

She just snorted, and that, Quinn heard, and turned to us.

Thankfully, Mr. Schue turned her way from us, and made her face Sam.

I smiled at Savannah, because that was funny, but I swear, her sass is really going to get her into trouble. I don't really think Quinn is above hitting a pregnant girl.

Sam and Quinn started off their song kind of weak, but in the middle of it, they started having more fun, and it was good.

But, whereas Savannah and I had our duet down perfectly, Quinn had some high notes that she was really struggling with. Mercedes stepped in to help her with her breath control, and she nailed it after a half an hour or so.

Our group number was flawless, and when it was out turn to go up on stage, we were ready.

Standing behind the curtain, ready to perform, Savannah was pain free, I had butterflies, but was ready, Sam was rubbing his hands together and jumping up and down with excitement, Quinn was going to her happy place by breathing and stretching, and everyone else was flailing with nerves, or going over dance moves in concentration.

No surprise to anyone, Rachel was ranting about not getting a solo this year, and if her resume didn't depend on it she wouldn't be performing at all. I rolled my eyes.

"I shouldn't even give my best out there considering Mr. Schue's blatant disregard for my talent! But I will give my best, simply because you guys need my strength in the background, and I would never throw a performance on purpose! I should completely protest only getting lead vocal on 1 performance instead of all 3, and I hope you all know that-"

Everyone groaned and were all thinking the same thing.

'Shut up Rachel!'

Thankfully, someone shut her up. God I love my brother.

"Really? You'd never throw a performance on purpose? Because I seem to remember you telling me that you and I needed to lose the duets competition so that Sam would stick around in Glee club and feel like a leading man."

Everyone's mouth's dropped open, and she just stood there looking abashed.

I shook my head and snickered. Oh Rachel.

"Hold up! What made ya'll think that you would win the duets competition anyway? I think everyone would've voted for themselves that week, and you weren't any better than the rest of us." Mercedes said.

Thank you. I thought.

"God, you are so arrogant Rachel!" Tina added.

Rachel looked toward Finn and glared at him with cold eyes. Finn just shrugged and mutter-whispered, 'Sorry.'

I snickered, and so didn't everyone else it sounded like. He so wasn't sorry.

Savannah walked over to Finn and kissed him on the cheek, and then walked over to far stage right. I went to for stage left where the piano was staged.

Showtime!

Rachel's mouth was left open as everyone turned away from her to face the back of the curtain, the announcer bringing us out of our reveries.

"And from Mckinley high school in Lima Ohio, please welcome to the stage the New Directiiioooooooooons!"

The curtain remained closed, and Savannah exited backstage through the right side as I sat at the piano and started to play.

Rachel had better get it together during Sav and I's duet.

~…~…~….~

Savannah started to sing, her soprano rang loud throughout the crowded auditorium. Thank god for the Black dresses with white trim. It hid her babies perfectly. She just looked like a bit of a chubby girl.

When I first saw you didn't know to think.

But something about you was so interesting.

I can see me and you being best friends,

The kind of friends that finish each-others sentences.

I came in with her on the harmony for the chorus, using a lower register voice for this song.

We learned from regionals that apparently the judges are just like every other small minded person in Ohio that doesn't want to see gay people existing in everyday life.

Though we are in New York right now so it really shouldn't matter. But it probably does. Whatever. We kick ass at this song anyway.

When I cant think of the right words to say

I just sing oooowhoawhoa ooo

Ooowhoahwhooaooo

Come on and harmonize with my melody and we'll sing Ooowhoahwhooaooo

Ain't it, a perfect harmony.

My verse. At this point, Savannah is sitting atop the piano, swinging her legs as I sang.

I never thought that I would be here with you.

To start a friendship that is so brand new.

It's so amazing, I have to say,

I never someone that had so much in common with meeeeee.

Now I can look into your eyes all day, and

just say,

oooowhoawhoa ooo

Ooowhoahwhooaooo

I wanna harmonize with your melody

and we'll say Ooowhoahwhooaooo

Ain't it a perfect harmony.

Sometimes in your lifetime, you look and you search for someone just to care.

Look around and it was there,

and we didn't need to go nowhere!

When I can't think of the right words to say,

I just sing oooowhoawhoa ooo

Ooowhoahwhooaooo

Come on and harmonize with my melody and we'll sing Ooowhoahwhooaooo

Ain't it a perfect harmony

You got me

I got you

I got you

Yeah You got me

I got you!

The perfect harmony.

~….~…~

I stood at the piano and Helped Savannah down. I bowed, she curtseyed, and we scrambled to center stage as the curtain went up, and everyone was standing in formation.

The next song we did, we completely aimed for full on theatricality.

(for full experience, you should youtube 'Want it all' from high school musical 3. Awesome song. Just picture Sam and Quinn. And also this is our song from camp rock 2. : ) )

And we nailed it!

Savannah was really bummed to have had to sit out of 'I want it all, because it was such a fun number, but I think Quinn only did as awesome as she did on it because she couldn't see Savannah on stage during it.

Seeing how she's glaring at her right now as she's taking her spot back on stage confirms that.

Yep! She would've screwed up if Sav was in that number.

Our final number, music began, and Puck stood center stage, no doubt ready to kill it!

I like saying 'kill it.' Ever since regionals when Blaine said it to me. It makes me feel like he is here, and I feel okay even though I miss him like crazy.

I don't want to be a complete jerk, or insensitive or anything, but Puck really performed that song a million times better than Finn would have. I love my brother, but his vocal's aren't as strong as Noah's and I think that that ending performance, tied together with an awesome beginning duet, and a fun and upbeat middle group number, is what won us…

"2nd place? Hell yeah!" Savannah screamed.

We all jumped up and down like crazy people! It was so exciting! And our 2nd place trophy was bigger than our first place Sectionals trophy and our first place regionals trophy! It felt like 1st place anyways! And this is New York.

And New York is perfect!

~….~…~…~….~….~…..…~…..…..~...…~

Blaine Pov

Wednesday night, I lied in bed waiting for a text from Kurt to find out their ranking. I found out that they made 2nd in the top 10, 1 ahead of Vocal Adrenaline that got 3rd, and only bested by the Portland Scale Blazers who got 1st.

Now, Friday morning, we sat in the Lima Bean drinking coffee, and I swear, Kurt was still high off of New York. He apparently begged and pestered Burt to death early in the morning until he freed him from the house, just to shut him up.

I was so glad! I would lose it if I couldn't see him this morning! Not only was I beyond eager to hear all about New York and Nationals, but I had some stuff to tell him too about work.

Of course, I let him go first! As he was going on and on about the trip, everything that he saw, I just gazed lovingly at him.

And I have no shame.

The carnival that they went to Wednesday night and had a blast at was fun to hear about. He won me a little puppy with eyes a million times bigger than necessary, and it's still in my hands. I can't let it go. He told me about Finn winning every single game at the fair easily, and now Savannah has enough stuffed animals to fill a toy store. Literally.

"Well, those can be put to good use when we need to make a nursery for the babies. Haha. But keep going. I want to hear everything!" I chimed in.

He continued on to tell me about the homeless man who hugged his leg until he gave him a dollar. But he wasn't even upset about it. He simply said, "Part of the New York experience."

He's just…. Incredible! If I didn't already tell him that I love him for the first time, I'd have done it now. The way that he just talks! And looks at life with such flair and such a fun attitude, I envy it so much!

"Oh! It was so awesome Blaine! Rachel and Savannah were actually hanging out while Finn and I rode rollercoasters with everyone else. Finally, Tina convinced Rachel to ride one of the kiddy coasters, and when she got off, her eyes were bugging out of her head.

Savannah was laughing, and she asked her, "how was it?" and Rachel barfed all over Savannah. She made her throw away one of her favorite outfits, and I don't think Sav will ever forgive her for that one!" Kurt was cracking up uncontrollably now.

I what I wouldn't give to have been able to go with him. He had so much fun, and I wasn't with him. I wonder if it would have been equally as unforgettable if I was there too.

Even the hotel held memories of awesomeness and funny stories.

"Ok, so Brittany. We were just goofing around. Writing original songs and stuff because I was at Dalton when they did those, so we all wrote our own little songs. Brittany, is insane. I literally recorded hers, and it's my new ringtone. Not kidding. It's hilarious!"

I started laughing. His face was so bright, and I must hear this song now.

"I want to hear it!"

And right in cue, he took his phone out of his backpack. "Call me!" he said excitedly.

I dialed my number 2 speedial, and waited for the ring.

I've got you in the palm of my hand, wanna put something hot in you

So hot that you cant stand

That you can't stand

Gonna take you to my lips

Empty out every last drop!

So thirst for what's in you baby that I can't stop!

I can't stop!

My eyes bugged wide!

"Whoa!" I actually reached over and covered his speakers and then rejected the call. There are kids in here!

Kurt was cracking up so hard now, his head thrown back in his chair.

"It's about a cup!"

I raised an eyebrow, still stunned by Kurt's infectious happiness right now.

"The song? She's talking about a cup. And drinking a drink."

I just chuckled again, and shook my head.

"It's Brittany." Was all he answered.

I grabbed his hand on the tabletop now, unable to resist. "I love you so much Kurt. I wish I was there with you! But I'm glad you had fun."

"Blaine, I want to go there to live after I graduate. There's just something about the air that is… I don't know. Amazing! You'd totally agree with me if you went too!"

"I want to Kurt, and if I pass this test this summer with high enough scores, I can skip my junior year, and then we'll graduate together, and we can go wherever you want! If that's New York, I'm totally on board."

Kurt smiled with me and leaned across the table to me and kissed me. Nicely. Very nicely. "I love you." He said.

I kissed him back. "Good. Cus I love you. And before New York, I can't wait to be at Mckinley with you in the fall."

Kurt just squeezed my hand, and took a sip of his drink before starting up again with New York tales.

Apparently, at their hotel, they totally pushed Artie's wheelchair into the pool simply for the fun of it. Artie had a blast, and he made Puck put like a little girl because he is a faster swimmer than the one and only 'Puckzilla', and he doesn't even have the use of his legs.

"You're friends sound completely insane Kurt!" I said, downing the rest of my medium drip. "But you love them, so I can't wait to be a part of your group. Even though I think I'll have to up my nutso meter a little in order to fit in."

Kurt rolled his eyes. "Oh you're gonna be fine! And everyone already knows and loves you."

That made me smile.

When my phone started to vibrate, I reluctantly let go of Kurt's hand to see the text.

Hey stick sex? I need you before noon today. We have a new shipment of malfunctioned toys, and we need you to help the other ass'es clean up shop. It's gonna take you some hours.

I sighed and wiped my face from top to bottom. He's so freaking rude. He call's the assistant's 'asses' thinking its funny.

"What's wrong?" Kurt asked.

I just slid my phone over to him, and he picked it up to read.

"Before noon? Can he do that?" Kurt asked, handing my phone back.

I just shrugged. "It doesn't really matter whether he can or can't. I need the job. He's the boss."

I shouldered my backpack and let out a frustrated exhale. "I should probably get to school then. Get some of my classwork early to do it in the library, and in first period study hall. If he keeps this up, I'm gonna fall really behind."

Kurt got up too, putting his own bag on his side and walking beside me out of the coffee shop.

"How many times has he done this now? Called you in early?"

I bit my lip. Now that I'm think about it, since Monday, he has done it every day now. "This would make day 5."

Walking to our cars, Kurt pulled my shoulder to stop me mid stride. "Blaine, he can't- You have to tell him that you can be working during school hours like that. Especially if you want to skip your junior year. You need all the school you can get."

I wish it was that simple. "I tried to tell him I have school. He just cuts me off, or shrugs me off changing the subject, or demanding a coffee. While being annoyingly flirty!"

I saw the annoyance on Kurt's face as I said that last part, and clarified. "I told him to stop that too. He doesn't really get it."

Kurt just nodded. I know he understood.

"You should try again to get him to take it easy. You need to study more than you have time for because of him."

I shrugged. I know he's right, but I think sometimes he forgets that I am having a baby.

2 babies, and I am the only one who will be providing for them. "Kurt, Savannah can't work. She's got to stay off of her feet while she is pregnant so, I'd rather her not have to work. Besides, my dad would have a freaking cow if I allowed it." I rolled my eyes just thinking how old school traditionalist and sexist that is.

Women aren't meant to be barefoot and pregnant while the man works. I don't think he realizes the generation we're in.

"Oh my god. Does he even realize that it's the 21st century? What decade does he live in?" Kurt scoffed, echoing my thoughts exactly.

"And she is not quite far along enough to need to be on complete bed rest." But he said it kind of like trailing off.

I didn't say anything, having reached my car, and waiting for Kurt to say something more. He seemed unfinished.

"I think I know what she do that wouldn't be stressful, and it'd prepare her for the babies too. Robert and Jan are expecting a baby in a few months…." He was in deep thought now.

Who're Jan and Robert?

"Um, Who?" I asked.

Kurt just shook his head breaking a trance. "Our neighbors with like 40 kids. Ok. You go to school. I'll talk to Savannah and call you later." He kissed me a quick smooch on the lips and ran to his car.

"Ok?" I voiced to myself.

"And talk to Senor meerkat about the hours! I love you!" He called back before climbing into his navigator.

"Love you too." I called back, getting into my car to drive to school, and hour and a half early.

Grr! Thanks Sebastian!

And what the heck is that perfect boyfriend of mine up to now?
