I really don't own Glee, otherwise there would be more Kurt and Dave, and Dave would be a lot less of an idiot.

Rated M for safety due to themes, language, and potential future scenes.

Tried to stick to canon, starts just before Comeback through to Original Song and then completely made up it follows Dave's POV only, there is very little Kurt interaction to start with. And its all AU obviously as Meg wouldn't exist.

Chapter One – Waking Up

The steady beeping is annoying and I try opening my eyes to find out where it is coming from. Pale unfocused ceiling and walls are all I can see then a face comes into view.

I must still be dreaming, though the pain in my head is distracting. Her skin is pale and framed by multicoloured hair that reminds me of a rainbow as it spills down. Huge eyes that are out of proportion stare back at me, and they are a really weird bright purple so she must be wearing contacts, which is when I notice there are no whites in her eyes they are all purple with silvery swirls, and long horizontal black pupils.

"Hi sleepyhead, you woke up." Her voice is melodic and has a strange echo effect.

What? Where? I try and form the words.

"You're in the hospital David." She tells me.

Who?

"Oh yeah, I'm Meg," she says it like it explains everything. And she sounds British?

"What's wrong with sounding British?" She asks.

Err? Nothing? Wait I didn't say anything…

"No, but that's ok because I can read your thoughts" She smiles at me as though reading my thoughts is completely normal.

"Well of course it is silly, I'm your imaginary friend. All imaginary friends can read thoughts, it's part of the package." She chuckles at me, "After all how else are we supposed to help if we don't know what's going on in our mortal's head?"

Right, so I'm in the hospital, there is a steady dull pain in my head, so I must have hit it, and I ache all over. Oh and I'm having a conversation with an hallucination. How the hell did I get here, and how long was I out for?

"Ah well there is a bit of a long story about that David," she says sitting in the chair next to me. "Do remember anything about what happened?"

Straining I remember lunch at school and then Az coming up with some scheme in the cafeteria but nothing after that.

"Well, Az's little scheme," She does not sound happy about it, "involved corning Henry, the little kid with the orange glasses, "Oh I remember him. "Then Az was going to get you and the guys to stuff the poor little mortal into a locker."

I dimly remember something then a small body struggling against me and I was flying? "Sort of," she says, "Actually when Az and one of the guys pulled Henry from your arms you tripped at the top of the stairs and ended up falling down all of them."

There is a bit of a jumbled flash back; disjointed fragmented images of the stairwell outside Figgins' office. Then something really cold happened.

"That would be the four extra big slushes the other jocks were carrying that they dropped, totally by accident," she reassures me. "They just all hit you, at the same time, mostly on the head, it was very multicoloured." She sounds impressed.

"Well you would have been too, it was just enough slushy to reach the broken lamp that was still plugged in, so you had just a teeny weeny tiny electric shock and plunged the entire school into darkness when the resulting surge took out all the power, and it spread to most of Lima."

Oh.

While I'm still trying to process the death plunge, the slushy incident and knocking out power to the town she carries on, "And that landed you here in the hospital where you have been in a coma for about two weeks."

Right.

Wait. What?

"You've been in a coma for about two weeks," even when she says it again it still doesn't really sink in. She suddenly looks up and over to a wall, "Ah the nurse is coming to check on you. I really wouldn't mention me to her, people getting funny about that kind of thing and you might end up in the loony bin."

On that comforting note she sits back just as a door I hadn't noticed opens and a nurse walks in. She's carrying a clipboard and doesn't even look at me, when she does she blinks and then says; "Welcome back Mr Karofsky, I'm glad to see you've woken up at last."

I'm left confused as she hurries off to talk to the doctor and to let my dad know. All the time Meg sits quietly beside me smiling happily.

A/N: I'm British so I may not get all the references quite right, and we spell a few words differently. All other mistakes are entirely the fault of my keyboard for not translating my thoughts into words properly… Honest.
