They were getting ready to depart on a charter bus to McKinley High. Usually the Warbler meetings were run by the student council but they needed a chaperone to accompany them, the school's guidance counselor. The guidance counselor was a short, plump man with all the answers to childrens' problems.
"Everyone ready to leave?" he asked looking around the room filled with boys.
Some were play wrestling, some were laughing in a group and some were serenading each other to love songs, seeing who can think of the most love songs.
Wes sang to David
Me and you and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it has to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy togetheerrrr
David sang back to Wes
Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray.
Ooh, the more I get of you
The stranger it feels, yeah
The guidance counselor walked up to David, "David, is there a particular reason you are singing 'Kiss By A Rose' from Seal?"
"Because Blaine is innn looovvee," David sang.
"Am not," Blaine folded his arms across his chest and tried to make a pouting face, Kurt's face came into his mind and he ended up smiling.
"Yes, you are! See you are smiling."
The guidance counselor walked over to Blaine, "Blaine, love can be very wonderful and very complicated, would you like me to give you some pamphlets later?"
"No, thank you sir, I appreciate your help though."
The guidance counselor nodded and walked off towards another group.
"Hey, Wes!" David shouted to Wes.
"Yeah?"
"Can you think of anyone that has pale skin as soft as a flower petal?"
Blaine went into a day dream of when he was holding Kurt's hand and it felt so soft against his, he wanted to never let go.
David and Wes noticed Blaine staring off into space with a grin on his face.
"Yep, he is definitely dreaming of grabbing Kurt's ass." Wes said to David.
David walked up behind Blaine and whispered in his ear, "Kurt's ass, Kurt's ass."
That brought Blaine to another memory, of Kurt in tight pants bending over to pick something up, Blaine's grin grew even wider.
"He's a goner." Wes told David and he nodded his head.
Blaine was brought back to earth with the chaperone yelling something.
He turned to David and Wes, slight panic on his face, "How's my hair," he asked pointing to his head, "is my tie straight? Is there wrinkles in my blazer?"
Wes put his hands on Blaine's shoulders, "Relax, you look fine."
"I don't want to look fine, I want to look good, great even."
"Fine," David said, "you look hot, smokin' hot. All the guys are gonna wanna be all over dat ass."
"Hopefully, just one," Blaine said going back to his day dream as they all loaded the bus.

Class had barely started and Mr. Shue was telling everyone to hurry and take a seat.
"I have special news, everyone take a seat," Mr. Shue was saying, "Rachel just pick a seat, you don't always have to sit in the front."
She frowned and took a seat in the back.
"Okay now that everyone is seated, do you remember the song we have been practicing?"
Kurt rolled his eyes, "You mean the one we have constantly been singing for three straight days?"
"Yes, that one Kurt, good job," Kurt sighed and hit his forehead with his palm, "ok I have invited the glee club from Dalton Academy over and we are going have a little scrimmage and perform the song we have been practicing."
Rachel's face lit up, "This is great! What day are they arriving?"
Mr. Shue looked at his watch, "In about a half hour."
Rachel shot up from her chair while everyone just had a bored face on, tired of Rachel's antics, "Why didn't you tell us before! I need to get my game face on, it takes about two hours to prepare my game face!"
"Rachel sit back down and stop yelling," Mr. Shue ordered, "I wanted to see how you guys perform with the element of surprise."
Mercedes shrugged her shoulders, "I'm fine with it Mr. Shue, I can take any challenge, bring it on."
"Yeah," Finn, Puck and Artie agreed. They particularly liked the song they have been practicing.
"Okay, Dalton is a prep school for all boys so I want you to be respectful and on your best behavior."
"All boys?" Santana pipped up, "this is gonna be fun," and she high-fived Brittany.
Brittany started rolling up her shorts even shorter.
Mr. Shue looked over at her, "Brittany, what are you doing?"
"I'm showing off my legs so the boys will be distracted and not sing very well."
"Put your shorts back down, its against school code," Mr. Shue said shaking his head.
Brittany frowned and pulled them back down.
"Mr. Shue if I may!" Kurt shot his hand up.
"Yes Kurt?"
"Can I meet the glee club in the parking lot and escort them to the auditorium?" he said with a charming smile.
"Yes, Kurt, that is very nice of you."

"Future, future…
If you could gaze into the future
You might think life would be a breeze
(life is a breez)
Seeing trouble from a distance (yeah, go rae)
But its not that easy (oh no)
I try to save the situation
Then i end up misbehaving (oh oh oh)
David stood up in his seat on the bus and rapped
Hey now, what you say now bout to put it down
Come on and take a ride with Rae now
"Sit down David!"
And the future looks great now
and eveything's gonna change now (lets rock)
Then everyone stood up in their seats
Thats so Raven its the future i can see
Thats so Raven so mysterious to me
The guidance counselor stood up to yell at them, "I have no idea what you are singing but everyone sit down, we are almost there!"
They pulled up in front of a school with a lonely boy waiting out front.
Wes peered out the window, "Hey, look it's Kurt!"
"What?" Blaine threw himself to the window and pushed Wes out of the way.
"Ow, my arm."
"Wow, it is him," he gazed.
Blaine was somehow the first out of the bus, even though he was sitting in the very back with Wes and David.
"Hi Kurt!"
Kurt had a huge smile and resisted the urge to hug Blaine.
Just behind Blaine was the guidance counselor, "Hello, I am the Dalton guidance counselor," he extended his hand.
Kurt shook it, "Kurt."
Once everyone was out of the bus, Kurt escorted them to the auditorium with Blaine right beside him.
"Your school is very colorful," Blaine said looking down the halls at the posters on the wall for clubs and colorful painted lockers.
"It doesn't go with the student's personalities though."
Kurt brought them inside the auditorium were New Directions was sitting on the stage messing around, as usual.
They stopped and stared when the Warblers came in. The Warblers were dressed immaculate in red and navy blazers with the logo on the front. While New Directions had colorful modern clothes, except for Rachel.
Mr. Shue walked over and shook the adult's hand, "Hello, I am Mr. Shue."
"Hi, I am the guidance counselor," he responded.
"Well, you are our guests so I will let you take the stage first."
New Directions hopped off the stage and took seats, giving the Warblers strange looks as they passed.
"Good luck," Kurt whispered to Blaine as they parted ways.
The Warblers took their place on stage with Blaine in the front.
"Hey! That's Blaine," Mercedes said to Kurt.
"Yes, I know, why do you think I offered to escort them."
"Ohh," Mercedes winked at Kurt.
Dun Dun Dun Dun Dun...
You think I'm pretty, without any makeup on
You think I'm funny, when I tell the punch line wrong.
I know you get me, so I let my walls come down
Down…
Blaine locked his eyes on Kurt for the whole song.
He pointed at Kurt
You make me feel like I'm living a teenage dream.
The way you look at me
Just one touch, now baby I believe
Kurt had a blush on his face the whole song, he hoped the other members of New Directions did not notice this.
Wes gave a nod to David and David nodded back. What they just said to each other was, 'Blaine's definitely getting laid tonight, yes!'
The song ended and New Directions clapped then turn to Kurt asking him if he new that that is Blaine.
"Yes, of course I know that is Blaine," he snipped. Sometimes he wondered how they are passing their classes.
The Warblers walked off stage and New Directions took their place.
Mr. Shue stood up, "We decided to take a different approach and sing something that shows our true colors."
The music started and Puck strutted out with Brittany dancing around him.
What I've got you've got to give it to your mamma
What I've got you've got to give it to your papa
What I've got you've got to give it to your daughter
You do a little dance and then you drink a little water
Mike wheeled Artie out and Artie joined Puck in singing while Mike danced with Brittany
What I've got you've got to get it put it in you
What I've got you've got to get it put it in you
What I've got you've got to get it put it in you
Reeling with the feeling don't stop continue
The rest of New Directions came out and sang
Give it away, give it away, give it away, give it away now
They danced with their hips in a provocative way, some would say belongs in a club, but they were in synchronization and it was not too dirty altogether.
Some of the Warblers did appreciate the girls dancing.
The song ended and the Warblers were a bit confused at the choice but clapped nonetheless.
The guidance counselor briskly stood up and clapped enthusiastically, "That was wonderful! Amazing!"
"Uh, thanks," Mr. Shue said, "so I was thinking the kids can mingle a bit and meet some new faces then you probably have to get back to school."
"Sounds good to me," said the guidance counselor and he sat down and played Angry Birds on his phone.
Half the Warblers walked over to Finn to say hi and give him a pat on the back and the other half went to talk to the girls.
Blaine walked up to Kurt.
"How do they all know Finn?" Kurt asked looking over at Finn surrounded by boys.
"They all go to the video game store he works at," Blaine shrugged, "apparently Finn is a wizard in video games they say. You were really good up there," he grinned.
"Thanks, and why didn't you tell me you had a solo? You were amazing."
Blaine blushed and ducked his head, "the counselor picks who ever has the best voice for the song," he said nonchalantly, "so, that was an interesting song choice, you usually don't hear Red Hot Chili Peppers from glee clubs."
"Our glee club is a bit out of the ordinary, I am just glad Mr. Shue is out of his Journey phase and Puck has the perfect voice for it."
Blaine leaned in and whispered, "I especially liked the dancing."
It was Kurt's turn to blush now.
Mr. Shue yelled suddenly, "Brittany stop doing handstands!"
Kurt looked over and in fact Brittany was doing handstands with some of the boys clapping and high-fiving.
After a little more talking the guidance counselor announced it was time to head back. Kurt escorted them back to the bus with Blaine right by his side again and occasionally brushing hands.
"See you tonight," Blaine said before he got on the bus.
