"Hey guys, you'll never guess what I just found out!" said Blaine excitedly as he walked into Wes's room where Wes, Thad, David, Nick, Jeff, and Trent were gathered.

"What?" asked Jeff, just as excited, hoping it was something fun or pranky.

"So, you know that band I told you about, the family one, r5." Everyone nodded. Wes, Thad, David, Nick, and Trent getting more curious while Jeff was getting slightly anxious.

"Well, you know how I said I had only heard them on the radio or on a podcast?" Blaine prompted to which everyone once again nodded.

"Welllllll, I heard that they're doing a concert in Westerville next Saturday from 6 to 11-ish! Annnnd I got tickets! Anyone want to come with? I got enough for all of us and Kurt plus Kurt's friends." Asked Blaine.

"Oh my God! Totally! I've been dying to see them!" said Nick, excitedly. He remembered on a podcast that Blaine made them listen to that they said you can't understand them till you see them live.

"Sure." Said Thad, he was curious about the band. When he heard them, he thought they were good and were interested in seeing them live.

"We should take that time to practice." Said Wes, ever the strict leader.

"Think of it as bonding." Said Trent," I'm in."

"Me too. "said David, trying to get his friend to agree.

"Okay." Relented Wes.

"Jeff? You in?" asked Blaine, seeing as the blond Warbler had been silent this whole time.

"Umm, I'd really love to but, umm, I've already got plans." Said Jeff, trying to get out of it. He wasn't quite ready to tell them his secret.

"What plans?" asked Nick," Can't you get out of them?" he pleaded. It just wouldn't be the same without his 6 there.

"I wish I could but, umm, it's family stuff." Said Jeff hoping they'd believe the lie, he was running out of ideas.

"Oh, okay. I get it. I'm sure I can find someone else who would like to go." Said Blaine. He knew how hard it was to get out of things with your family and knew that Jeff's family was close. Since it was a boarding school they didn't see their families as much as some would like.

"Why don't you ask the New Directions, I'm sure they know someone." Said Jeff mentally trying to find out how to either a) get out of performing at the concert, though he knew that would be near impossible since the only way that would happen is if he was dead, or b) keep his friends form going, once again near impossible as they had shown a fascination with the band.

Maybe I could change my appearance at the concert, thought Jeff but knew that wouldn't work (his friends would either recognize him still or it wouldn't be reversible by the time he saw then again), nor would management let him. He also knew it would confuse many fans.

Since he couldn't find a way out of it he decided to make the most of the last week that his friends would treat him as Jeff, fellow Warbler and classmate, rather than Riker, international Rockstar and lead bassist/ one of the lead soloists of R5.

"Hey, dude. Earth to Jeff." Said David, waving a hand in front of him.

"You okay?" asked Nick, slightly concerned for his boyfriend.

"Huh? Yeah. Sorry, zoned out for a minute." Jeff replied off-handily trying to play it off.

"What's up?" he asked

"Call of Duty 3 or Need for Speed?" David responded, distracted by the thought of video games. They immediately forgot about Jeff zoning out. Thy all did every now and then.

"CoD, duh."

Time skip- With Jeff/Riker

It was the day of the concert and Jeff was freaking out. He had enjoyed his week of just having fun with his friends like normal but knew that it was about to change. He had made his escape from his friends about 3 hours ago to get to rehearsal and sound check.

His friends left soon after to go meet up with the ND's, apparently, they had a new member so that girl got his ticket. The show was going to start soon, and he knew that if they weren't already in the audience they would be soon. God, he was gonna miss his old life.

He knew scheduling a show in Westerville was risky, that's why he almost didn't do it. But, they hadn't done a show in Ohio and Westerville was a pretty popular place, so it made sense. He had hoped they would be busy or wouldn't really be that into the band.

Just his luck that Blaine, being the Disney lover, he is, was listening to a podcast and head of them then heard some of their songs and loved it. Don't get him wrong, he loves the fact that his friends like his music, he just never expected them to like it so much to go to a concert. Then again, they did say the concerts were the best… Oopps…

"Hey, bro, were on in 10. Well, 15 officially but were gonna silly string Ryland." Riker was broken out of his thoughts by his little brother, Ross.

"Kay, be out in a sec." Guess I'll be facing Ryland instead of the crowd…. It'll by me a few minutes…. Hopefully they don't make a scene. Riker thought as he finished getting ready and headed out to the wings and grabbed some silly sting from Rydel.

Meanwhile with The Warblers and ND's

Time skip to early that day

"Bye guys. Gotta to go." Said Jeff as he got up from his spot on the couch. We were all just laying around, having fun and goofing off, before we all had to leave.

"Bye, 6. Love you." Said Nick as he leaned up and gave his boyfriend a kiss.

"Love you too." Jeff kissed him back before grabbing his bag and heading out the door. We chilled there for a few more hours before we decided to go head over to Lima Bean, our meeting place for the ND's. We got in the Warbler bus, (Yes, we actually got permission from the school board to use the bus as this was 'inter-school choir bonding') and Wes took the wheel, driving us over as we, courtesy of Blaine, started listening to the band's music as a sort of pre-concert party. When we got there we only had to wait a few minutes before all of them arrived. As soon as Kurt got out the car he headed straight over to Blaine to thank him for inviting him and all his friends.

"Hey, babe. Thanks again for inviting us." He said.

"Yeah, dude. We were listening to some of their music early and it's pretty rocking." Said Finn.

"Yes, we are very applicative of this opportunity to not just listen to the band but also to create a relationship with you and the rest of the Warblers. Just don't expect any mercy in competitions next year because of this." Commented Rachel. All the New Directions groaned in unison.

"Give it a rest Rachel, their just being nice." Said Mercedes. "Thanks again for inviting us." All the ND's nodded their agreement as the Warblers chuckled. It was just then that Kurt let out a gasp, causing everyone to turn to him.

"Oh my Gucci… You're not wearing your uniform for once. And you actually have style! You all do!" The Warblers laughed at that, they were in fact not wearing their uniforms but found it funny how Kurt automatically thought they wouldn't have style. They are from Dalton.

"You're not the only one who can put together an outfit Kurt," said Nick, still laughing.

"Oh ha ha ha, Nicholas." Said Kurt, sarcastically. Once the group stopped sniggering Wes spoke up.

"Hey, guys. We should proably start heading over to the arena."

Blaine checked his watch and agreed. If they were going to get there early and find a good spot they should leave soon.

"To the bus!" he said causing some of the group to laugh and Kurt to shake his head. Everyone began walking to the bus, following the Warblers and Kurt.

"It's a shame Jeff couldn't come." Commented Kurt. He felt bad for Nick as he was the only one without their significant other there.

"Yeah, but he had family stuff. I understand. Besides, it just means he'll make it up to me later." Replied Nick. Yes, he missed his boyfriend, but he didn't want him to not see his family. Obligations are obligations.

Once everyone was on the bus and seated they began their journey to the arena. The whole way there they continued to pre-game with music. When they got there, it was about 30 minutes until Ryland's set, so they went and were able to find good seats.

They weren't in the first row put were all in a little cluster close enough to have a good, up close view and hear the music loud and clear without being right next to the speakers. They spent the next few minutes just talking and having fun as the seats around them pilled in. They knew the band was popular in concert but didn't know they were THIS popular.

The place was packed, which was surprising as only a few of the band's songs made it big on the radio. When Ryland came out the whole crowd began to scream and jump up and down. He was able to get the crowd pumped up and excited. He was a surprisingly good DJ.

After about 45 minutes the weirdest thing happened. Ryland was rocking out, in the middle of the song when suddenly 5 people came out and began to silly string them. From what they could see and already knew from pod cast and TV they were able to identify 2 of the.

They knew the girl was Rydel and the blond boy who looked a bit older than Ryland yet still the youngest of the 5 and who's hair looked was he was starting to let it grow out was Ross. The others were facing Ryland, so they couldn't see or know who each of the others were. They knew the names but not the faces.

After they ran out of silly string Ryland laughed and ran off the stage as the rest of them began to take their places. As they did this the stage went black and a spotlight appeared. Ryland's voice come through the speakers and announced each person and the spotlight fell on them as they were called.

"Give it up for Rocky!" A tall brunet waved from his spot stage front-left. He had the longest hair of the boys, which got whipped around as he motioned for the cowed to get pumped up.

"Rydel!" The blond girl who was stage back-left smiled widely. She waved to the whole crowd and then blew a kiss to the boy at the drums.

"Ross!" The youngest boy grinned from stage front-center. He was easily recognizable from his work on Disney. The crowd screamed louder than they did for the others. It was easy to see he was very popular.

"Ratliff!" The guy with brown hair sitting stage back-right at the drums looked up, smiled and waved. He too motioned to the crowd to get more pumped up.

"And Riker!" as the spotlight fell on the last member of R5 the whole group were silent, in shock. It was Jeff! Those who didn't know him recognized him from the pictures Nick showed them on the bus. Once the cheering died down enough that they could talk without you having to strain to hear them Riker went up to the microdrone.

"Westerville! Are you ready to rock?!" he yelled as the band started on the first chords of the first song, causing the group to begin to break out of the stupor.

"It's a good thing were not alone tonight!" yelled Rocky as Riker started to hype the crowd up causing the audience to scream and the group to stare as Ross started singing.

Outside of the party where it's gettin' too loud
