Episode Storylines:
Artie and Kitty: The wake of their secret relationship
Blaine: Proposal to Kurt Hummel

"Oh my god, we're here!" Tina screamed out as she jumped out of the bus, waving her arms in the air like a flapping chicken. Each and every New Direction member followed after her, joyously jumping and bouncing into the entrance of the Chetch Carnival.

"Don't look so glum, this was your idea" Kitty strolled past Artie, looking very unenthusiastic at the flashing neon signs of the carnival. Everything seemed way too fun in contrast to her snarky behavior.

" Well, winning Regionals is something to be proud of," Artie muttered as he wheeled beside her. Kitty watched him for awhile before slowing down to push his wheelchair. Artie turned behind, watching Finn and Mr. Schuester trudging out of the bus, Finn laughing at whatever mediocre joke Mr. Schue had told him . He looked ahead to see the other ten members of the Glee club being swallowed up by the crowd. Artie sighed, "might as well make the best of it."

"You wanted to come here for a reason," Kitty gave him a look, but quickly realised that all she could see was the top of his head, "what is it?"

Bumper cars of course, he had never rode one, and with his condition, not many people ever let him ride on them for god-knows why, but he never told anyone this before. But Kitty was someone he could trust, she did help him get into Brooklyn Film Academy. They pushed past the crowd, which naturally parted when they saw Artie come through. One perk of being a cripple, Artie scorned. As they moved past the vast game stations, Artie finally caught sight of what he finally wanted to do.

"A bumper car station?" Kitty asked. The retort in her voice clear as day. Artie opened his mouth to argue but Kitty had already began pushing him up the ramp and into the surprisingly short queue.

"You know," Kitty started, turning Artie around so that they could finally talk face to face, "I can't believe Mr. Schue gave us an assignment like three hours after Regionals, I expected us to get a break." She stared at Artie's puzzled look and understood that that was the norm. But of course, having gone through Sectionals with Finn instead, and well, lost, she wasn't too sure what to expect. A break would have been nice though. "And what the hell is with him making us do the Beatles? A band from the 40s with mushroom heads aren't exactly..."

"Woah woah woah, hold up there, woman," Artie, showing his disgusted face to everyone in sight, held his hand up high. He cocked his head to the left, mouth agape and stared at Kitty dead in the eye. "You haven't even heard any of their songs, have you?"

Without waiting for a reply, Artie scanned through his phone and played the first Beatles song he could find. Worst of all, he started singing along to it. The melody of Drive My Car hit Kitty's ears as she stared at him with complete shock.

"Artie, this isn't High School Musical, you can't just burst out singing in a public place!" She paused and looked around. Sure enough, people are staring. A whole lot of people actually. "Artie!"

But he didn't seem to care, he pumped his fist around, jerking around in his little wheel chair, and just then the clerk let them into a bumper car.

"I'm not helping you into that car until you stop singing."

Artie didn't stop singing, he seemed determine to make Kitty join in. Kitty rolled her eyes as she carried Artie into the seat and placed herself gently by his side. Artie continued singing as they drove around the lot, crashing and slamming into any car they saw. Soon, Kitty started to forget the embarrassment she had felt and found herself actually enjoying Artie's little stunt.

Artie
Baby you can drive my car
Yes I'm gonna be a star

Soon, Kitty picked up the lyrics as they drove around in circles. Round and round and round as they laughed maniacally, sadistically trying to smash people into the walls of the lot.

Artie and Kitty
I told a girl I can start right away
And she said listen babe I got something to say
I got no car and it's breaking my heart

People around were staring, smiling. Some even hummed along to their tunes. Kitty looked into Arties gleeful face. And to her, his face was the brightest light there was in the carnival. His happiness and excitement seemed so important to her and it just made her happy too. And it never occurred to her how much being with him excited her.

Artie and Kitty
But I've found a driver and that's a start
Beep beep beep beep yeah
Beep beep beep beep yeah

Artie screamed out the last few words and threw his arms into the air, sending their bumper car spinning right into the wall. Their heads knocked together and all Kitty could do was burst out laughing. Artie gave her a dopey look, a playful one going "oops!", and she laughed again.

"Told you the Beatles were rad."

"No one uses that word anymore, wheels"

Glee

Blaine sat alone, fiddling a small red carpet box in his hands. Thinking, just thinking, staring off into the distance. Kurt's been the love of his life, and even though he knows that he had hurt Kurt, he was sure Kurt would say yes. The buzz on his phone woke him from his daydreams.

"From: Rachel
He's going back tonight! OMG Tell me what happens k? I'm sorry I cant be
there :( Love! 3"

Blaine sighs with relief as Tina slides next to him with a tray of food.

"They're out of to... Oh my god! What is that?"

She yanked the box away from Blaine and slowly opened it. Blaine could almost hear her jaw hit the ground. She looked at Blaine as if her heart was going to melt, her eyes wide and sparkling.

"It's no big deal."

"No big deal, are you kidding me?!" she screamed at the top of her lungs. Blaine agreed that this was something to be excited by, but Tina was going over the edge. "When, when, when?! Why didn't I know about this?"

"It's tomorrow. No one knows yet, could you keep it down first please." Tina looked around, turning red. But that didn't decrease her level of enthusiasm. "I'm planning to do it at Dalton"

And there goes Tina's enthusiasm. "What?" Equally loud, but now in a totally different tone of voice. "You're doing it at Dalton? Dalton Academy, with those wicked Warblers?"

"Tina, they're my friends." Blaine, still trying to contain his patience. He really wants to tell Tina to pipe down because half the canteen could probably hear her.

"Warblers?" Sugar shrieked as she took a seat opposite Tina. "What about them?"

"Blaine's thinking of proposing to Kurt at Dalton," Tina still unable to hide her sense of betrayal and shock.

"You're proposing to Kurt?" Sugar's cookie fell out of her mouth as it opened wide with surprise. Great, now that's one more person knowing it ahead of schedule, Blaine thought, and what is so shocking about it? "I hope it doesn't end up the same way as Finn and Rachel's one did though, that was horrible," Sugar stated, too matter-of-fact-ly for anyone's good. She looked up to see Blaine and Tina's dark faces and shrugged it off. "Sorry,"

"Asperger's" they all said at once, with Blaine and Tina turning away to hide their faces.

Glee

"Look, all I'm saying is that we keep what happened at the carnival to ourselves, Artie, that's no big deal," Kitty said in a hushed voice. She clearly did not want anyone to hear it, even though they were in an empty classroom with the doors shut tight. People may actually have dirty thoughts about what the two of them were doing in there alone.

"I really like you, it's just that Bree and the others aren't gonna like this one bit."

"Who's Bree?" Artie's very confused. One day, they were having the time of their life, and the next, Kitty wants to start a secret relationship. A relationship with Kitty was no problem, Artie really liked her. But why secret?

"She's a bitch. Literally a bitch." Kitty heaved a heavy sigh and plopped down onto a chair. "I really like you, Artie. And that's really saying something because I'll never ever say that out loud. And I want this to work."

"So we're doing this in secret because of some bitch." Emphasising bitch so much just to show Kitty how ridiculous this was.

"It's not just about her, it's about my reputation. Everyone expects me to date a jock or one of those brainless rascals." Kitty looked at Artie and he could swear that all he could see was sadly. She spun around, digging through her bag before taking out a page of song lyrics. "You have to hide your love away sometimes, right?"

Glee

Artie
Here I stand head in hand
Turn my face to the wall
If she's gone I can't go on
Feeling two-foot small

He stole a glimpse at Kitty, who was just silently watching the floor, waiting for her cue to sing.

Kitty
Everywhere people stare
Each and every day
I can see them laugh at me
And I hear them say

Finally she looks back at Artie, her eyes filled with tears. Maybe she regretted her decision, Artie thought. Secret relationships are just like prison. No freedom.

Artie and Kitty
How could she say to me
Love will find a way
Gather round all you clowns
Let me hear you say
Hey you've got to hide your love away
Hey you've got to hide your love away

Artie reached out his hand to touch Kitty but she does not even give it a second look. She turned back and continued looking to the ground, singing the words, as if the lyrics were somewhere embedded onto the tiles of the choir room. Artie shifts his focus away from her as the words kept pouring out of his mouth. Every lyric of the song, he could relate to. Kitty chose a hell of a song.

After they were done, the only sound was the applause from Mr Schue. Apparently, he's the only one who doesn't know what the heck was going on. Artie looked up to see everyone's sympathetic faces staring into his soul. Kitty's too of course. But then Artie looked at Finn, whose face had turned hard as metal. Finn probably knew what Artie was going through, or well, Kitty more specifically. But he chose to ruin his reputation by dating Rachel anyway. Why can't Kitty be like him, Artie thought.

"Because that'll be selfish," a voice whispered into Artie's ear. He jumped a little in his seat, metaphorically, of course. And stared at Tina who had magically appeared by his side, pushing his to the seating area of the choir room. Had she read his mind, or did he say his thoughts out? Artie guess he'll never know, but he sure as hell would not have wanted Kitty to hear him say that out loud. "Blaine's got an announcement."

Tina took a seat beside Artie as Blaine took centre stage. His hands holding a little red box. Every Glee club member craning their necks to get a peek of it. Blaine's heart pumped faster and faster as he opened the box to reveal a silver encrusted ring with a ruby on top. Kurt's favourite gem.

"I'm going to ask Kurt to marry me," Blaine said.

The whole choir room erupted into applause and cheer. Marley covered her mouth and screamed, tugging at Jake's arm. Tina and Sam ran up to Blaine, hugging him and congratulating him. Mr Schue was clapping his hand together. But on one end of the choir room, Ryder just looked incredibly confused, "Who's Kurt?".

But Finn just remained quiet, sitting on the chair and well, not talking at all. Until he looked up at Blaine and cut everybody's excitement with his booming voice. "What?" He was clearly not excited by the news. He seemed angry actually. That was a Finn even Tina and Artie barely ever saw.

Mr Schue opened his mouth to speak but Finn just rushed up to Blaine. Tina and Sam scooted away, not wanting to be part of this banter. Blaine had made plans to propose to Kurt, but never even stopped to tell Kurt's brother about it.

"You're not even with him anymore." Finn's cold eye stare sending chills down the intimidated Blaine.

"I know, but"

"He's with someone else now." Finn then walked out of the choir room, leaving Blaine to just stare at the air in complete shock. Scary Finn was not something he had ever seen. Or something he would want to see again. But if Finn reacted that way, what would Kurt do if he proposed?

Glee

"Cut Finn some slack, he's just going through a hard time," Tina said, walking with Blaine, who was dressed sharply in a rented tuxedo. She didn't look too bad herself, in a light pink dress which spreads out like flower petals at the ends. "You did to Kurt what Rachel did to him, I don't think he's really forgiven Rachel for that whole Brody thing yet, so..."

"Please don't ever mention Eli," and Tina could see the guilt on his face. But what's done is done, no matter how much Blaine wanted to undo Eli, he couldn't. All he could do now is hope that Kurt had forgiven him and they had moved on from that as a couple.

Finn was right, still. Kurt has been dating Adam in NYADA. Rachel has told him that they weren't exclusive but if Kurt really liked Adam... No, he can't think like that anymore. Everything goes his way most of the time anyway. And Kurt loves him. He'll say yes.

"He's coming, he's coming!" Unique screamed as she edged away from the door and moved into position. The 11 Glee club members, excluding Sugar who had the excuse of "I don't care about some stupid proposal", stood in a curved line, surrounding the hall of Dalton Academy. Blaine stood in the middle, with the ring in his right pocket, ready to be presented.

"Cue music," Blaine whispered into Sam's ear.

The Warblers stationed at the door nodded and opened the door. Kurt, Burt and Carol walked through the door. Finn wasn't with them. Kurt's stunned expression was beyond words as the Warblers and the New Directions started singing to the music playing through the PA system.

New Directions and Warblers
Love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love, love

Blaine took Kurt's hand in his and they began waltzing down the hallways. Every inch of the place decorated with ruby and golden banners and ribbons. Rose petals all over the floor and Polaroid pictures of the two of them together scattered among the red patches.

Blaine
No one you can save that can't be saved
Nothing you can do, but you can learn
How to be you in time
It's easy

Blaine stole glimpses at Kurt's both shocked and delighted face, trying to make out what he's thinking. They continued moving from hallway to hallway, each decorated with different colours. Everyone else followed closely behind, beautifully harmonising to Blaine's songs. As they walked through the rainbow wonderland of Kurt's dreams, Kurt's smile was plastered onto his face. This was the most romantic anyone had ever done for him.

Blaine
All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need

Just as they hit the Warbler's room, Confetti started falling out of nowhere. Decorating the place like indoor snow. Kurt wailed in delight as he walked around the room, soaking in the atmosphere. Blaine swallowed hard as he finished his song and got down on one knee. Kurt turned around and saw his former boyfriend kneeling in front of him. But all he could see was a ring in his hands.

"Blaine..." There was sadness in his voice. Excitement too, but more of the former.

"Kurt Elizabeth Hummel," moment of truth, "will you marry me?"

Kurt covered his mouth and let a sound only Blaine recognised was excitement. Everyone else was staring, touched beyond means. Kitty looked at Artie, who had his two hands clutching his jaw in suspense. She gingerly slid her hand into his and looked at him. Artie smiled back, clutching her hand close and entangling their fingers together, placing them near his heart. They looked back at Kurt, who was still standing there in shock. Blaine beamed with joy as he got up, sliding the ring out of the box

Kurt dropped his hands as Blaine rose. Instead of the elated expression Blaine had expected, Kurt gave him a sorrowful one. Kurt reached out touched Blaine's hands, pushing the ring back into the box.

"No."

Author's comments: Hope you liked it. If you actually bothered reading the whole thing and liked it, do leave a review, good or bad. I'm not expecting many, but nonetheless I'll just continue writing. Season 5 of Glee was disappointing in some aspects but some stories were great, I'm just planning to rewrite all 22 episodes, expanding the Ohio arc to that long, and yes, Finn will be alive 3 in a perfect world.

Edit: Also I literally just found out (years later) that I used their/they're wrongly twice. I wanna kill myself now since I always hated people who do that XD
