As much as I love Quick, I'm addicted to Dianna Agron. You can tell that Mark and Dianna have great chemistry which is why I'm one those rare Salgron shippers still around (everyone's converted to achele, but not me).
"Hey, Di." Mark Salling greeted his co-star as he grabbed an apple from the craft service table beside Dianna Agron and sat down in his canvas monogrammed chair on the other side of her. He removed his red McKinley High varsity jacket to reveal a white v-neck and hung it on his chair. "Watcha readin'?" He asked with his mouth full of a ripe red delicious. Dianna lay comfortably in a chair similar to Mark's but with her name on it, casually reading. Upon realizing he was there, she looked up. "Sorry, what?" She asked, her cheeks already turning a light shade of red. "Oh, I just asked what you were reading." He replied with a slightly embarrassed smile. "Mark. You know me. What do you think I'm reading?" She asked with a snicker. Mark bit his lip in a knowing way "Gee, I don't know...Alice In Wonderland for like the bazillionth time?" He chuckled at her. "Ding ding! Correct" Dianna imitated the sound of a bell from some type of late night game show, making them both laugh. "Oh Di and her Alice in Wonderland. She'll star in a remake one day." he thought to himself.
They chatted idly for a few moments before Ian Brennan shouted to the pair, "Hey! We're doing the Puck/Lauren/Quinn scene at twelve, not one! Don't be late!" Mark looked at her biting his lip. "First time we've had a scene together in like eight months. Ya nervous?" He asked, using his fingers to shape his hair into the triangular form his mohawk made when pushed inward on both sides. She set her book down on his lap and smiled. "Actually yes. It's been so long, it'll be like the first time all over again." She replied. "Try not to call me a Lima Loser this time, babe." He chuckled and stroked her cheek momentarily. As he did so, Naya, HeMo, and Cory came bounding over to them, having just finished a scene. "Hey, guys", Cory remarked to Naya and Heather, "Is it me or is the sexual tension dam bursting over here?" They all laughed, including Mark and Dianna. Mark playfully punched the tall Canadian actor in the arm as they laughed together.
"Roll camera!" Ryan Murphy shouted and began shooting the scene. Ashley Fink stood in front of a set locker that had a 'Vote Zizes for Prom Queen' poster taped to it. Mark stood in front of her, having a baseless conversation with her. Dianna strolled by, as her script said to do, and Ashley stopped her. "Hey, Fabray", she said stepping in front of the blonde. Mark couldn't help but hold his breath when he saw how beautiful she looked in her faded blue dress she'd brought from her actual closet at home. "I'm running for prom queen." The larger of the two women spoke her lines. "As a joke, you mean, right?" Di recited hers, staring at Ashley in disbelief. "You'll be voting for me, won't you, Puckerman?" Mark had been staring at Ashley's chest as his script said to do then looked up at Dianna in shock. "Whoa, what? You're actually talking to me, Fabray?" he mocked. "What the hell is your problem?", she asked him raising an eyebrow. "You have my child and I tell you I love you and then you don't talk to me for eight months? What the hell could possibly be my problem!" He countered angrily then linked arms with Ashley as they walked away from the small blonde. "And scene!" Brad Falchuk yelled as the crew turned off the overhead lights and shut off the camera. "That's a wrap for today! Enjoy your day off tomorrow!" Ryan spoke through his bullhorn.
The cast piled into their trailers to get undressed and take off their makeup. Mark and Cory had to share one because there was a shortage on trailer parking spaces. "Hey Coors Light" Mark said as he pulled off his shoes while sitting on his bed. "Yeah?" Cory replied as he sat down in front of the mirror they shared and wiped off his face powder with make-up remover wipes. "Do you think Naya's still into me? I loved her, but not that way. Like a really really close friend, not like a girlfriend." He asked his best friend from work. Cory turned around in the revolving make-up stool and looked at Mark. "I don't know, man. I think she's kinda over it." He said looking at him peculiarly. Mark looked back at him as he took off his shirt. "There was never anything to be upset about anyways. We dated casually, not exclusively. There's only one woman I'd ever date exclus..." He trailed off, rubbing his mohawk nervously. "Ummm...that sorta just slipped out. Do not tell anyone." He said pointing a serious finger at him. "Alright then, dude. But just to finish the thought, who are you talking about?" Cory inquired. "D...no one, man. No one." Mark stammered, trying desperately to conceal the fact that he had almost just admitted to being in love with Dianna Agron. "Alright then" Cory laughed and changed into a pair of jeans and a Toronto Blue Jays t-shirt. Mark changed into one of his many t-shirts depicting some sort of bird and left with Cory, closing the trailer door behind them. "So you're really not gonna tell me, eh, birdfreak?" He said, wrapping his arm around them and giving him a nuggie as they walked to their cars.
So how'd you like chapter one of "Mary Had A Little Lamb"? The scene that Mark, Di, and Ashley shoot is actually going to happen, except for the fact that Mark won't be present in the scene and that's not the exact script wording. Also, the title comes from Dianna's tattoo that reads "Mary Had a Little Lamb", that references her mother (named Mary) and her nickname (Little Lamb).
