Feature Characters: Joe Hart, Kitty Wilde, Finn Hudson
You've got a friend in me
Today is like any other day for Joe Hart. He's at his locker taking books from his bag and putting them in his locker when he notices from the corner of his eye Kitty and her two sidekicks Phil and Bobby had just slusheed one of the students in the A/V club calling him a nerd and a loser. As the A/V student ran past Joe, Joe thought about how awful Kitty was and how he was going to be trapped in Glee club with her for the next few hours and how he was not looking forward to that.
(Fast Forward to Glee Club)
At Glee club Finn writes the word duets on the board and announces that this week the Glee Club would be doing duets and they had to draw a name from a hat to find out who their duet partner would be. As Joe goes up to draw a name from the hat he prays that he doesn't end up with Kitty because of how violent she can be. To his dismay the name on the paper says Kitty Wilde and Kitty was just as disappointed by that as Joe.
"Do I have to sing with this Jesus-loving, loser?" blurted Kitty.
"Enough!" Finn exclaimed, "Joe drew your name and that's final. Now for the next few days you are to take the time to find out something new and unexpected from your duet partner so that way you have a new appreciation for each other by the end of this assignment."
After everyone was dismissed and Kitty was walking out of the room Joe said,
"Look I want to do well on this assignment so just meet me at breadstix and we'll discuss this assignment."
"Fine, but you're buying me dinner too," said an annoyed Kitty.

As Joe sat there waiting for kitty to arrive he thought to himself how in the world he was going to be able to talk to her for a whole night. Joe is never one to judge people or anything but when you're as mean as Kitty you don't have to pass judgment because the attitude says it all. As he was thinking Kitty came in.
"Let's just get this over with and don't even think about leaving here without buying me some dinner first," said kitty.
"You're pretty rude, you know" said Joe.
"I'm not always like this," said kitty. "Sometimes I'm only mildly bitchy or rude," Kitty said sarcastically.
"Yeah, why is that?" asked Joe.
"Why is what?" Kitty asked nervously.
"Why are you always so mean" Joe said. "I have a feeling that there's more than just being the mean girl."
"Well there isn't." Kitty said angrily.
"Why won't you just tell me?" Joe questioned. "If you want I can tell you about my story."
"Fine" Kitty said. "Tell me about your story"
"Well", said Joe, "As you know I'm homeschooled and that's because back in Middle School I was bullied for always being the good, Christian boy, who wouldn't give into peer pressure."
"Don't you regret it though?" Kitty asked.
"Sometimes I do but I also realized that being a Christian guy is what sort of made me different." Joe said, "Whether those kids wanted to admit it or not being different was a good thing and they just couldn't stand seeing it."
At that moment as Joe finished saying that, some spark in kitty just ignited for Joe. Something about being able to relate with Joe and Joe knowing who he was and being so proud of who he was sparked some kind of emotion in her. She may not have realized it at the moment but she was slowly falling for him.
"I know what that's like." Kitty sighed. "While I was in 8th grade I was bullied by these three girls who always called me harassing me for being so different as a Christian kid. It got to the point where the all the kids in class were making fun of me too which is why once I came to High School I decided never again would I be the victim. Even if it means being the bully."
"Oh yeah, How's that working out for you?" Joe asked.
"It was fun before but now it is honestly very lonely." Kitty said
"Well then you should stop, obviously." Said Joe.
"That's easy for you to say." Kitty said "You haven't been to this point in High School where everyone hates you. At least in my case everyone's hatred is clouded by their respect for me. I may not have friends but at least everyone notices me and respects me."
"They don't respect you, their terrified of you." Joe said. "You'll never get friends if you keep on being this mean to everyone."
"Well, who in the world would want to be friends with me if I am nicer?" Kitty question.
"Well I would." Joe said. "In fact I've just thought of the perfect duet for us."
(Fast Forward to Glee Club)
Joe and Kitty are both sitting on stools in front of the class where they start singing "You've got a friend in me" from the toy story track.
Joe:
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
When the road looks rough ahead
And you're miles and miles
From your nice warm bed
Just remember what your old pal said
Girl, you've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
Kitty:
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got troubles, well I've got 'em too
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you
We stick together and we see it through
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
Joe and Kitty:
Some other folks might be
A little bit smarter than I am
Bigger and stronger too
Maybe
But none of them will ever love you the way I do
It's me and you
And as the years go by
Boys, our friendship will never die
You're gonna see
It's our destiny
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
As the song ends Joe and Kitty hug and Joe says how glad he is that him and kitty are friends. Though Kitty smiles it off she seems like she obviously wants more than just a friendship.
Author's Notes: I just wrote this during the night it's not completely developed. I just wanted to try my hand at fanfiction.
