Author's Note:

Hey, hi, hello. (this is off to a great start, isn't it)

Basically, I just wanted to say (as I mentioned in the summary) this story is a crossover between Kiera Cass's fantastic series, The Selection, and the TV show Glee.

I've been writing for a while, but have only ever let a select group of people read it and now I've decided to put my writing out there for whoever wants to read it (Yay for feeling terrified!).

Anyways, I guess I'm supposed to thank you for reading this, but I'm not really sure why. I mean, I get that you're taking the time to read my material but I'm the one doing all this work to make it enjoyable. Shouldn't you be thanking me?

Sorry, I don't want to seem like an arrogant brat. I'm just expressing how I feel in a slightly sarcastic way.

Right, so, um… let's get to it!

P.S. I know the original series has 35 girls, but I only got 10 from Glee and I didn't want to make up 25 names for other girls so this selection has 15.

Chapter 1

Kurt shifted in his seat and let out a shaky breath. It was happening. No more avoiding it.

"Rachel Berry!" The announcer read the names as they appeared on the screen along with a picture, their cast, and hobbies.

'Rachel', as the announcer called her, looked like a nice girl. Fairly attractive. She just wasn't the kind of person Kurt was looking for - none of them would be and he knew it.

"Santana Lopez" Was the name shouted into the microphone next followed by Tina Cohen-chang, Quinn Fabray, Brittney Pierce, Mercedes Jones, Sugar Motta, Lauren Zizes, Marley Rose, Jane Hayward, Priscilla Stone, Rosemary Mcbride, Zoe Page, Whitney Chambers, and finally, Mallory Burns.

Fifteen girls. Fifteen pretty, interesting, seemingly nice girls who Kurt could never fall in love with.

"Hey, dude," Finn, Kurt's younger brother, leaned over next to him to whisper, "That Rachel chick was hot. You're so lucky."

Lucky, Kurt thought. "Tell you what," he whispered back through his smile he had plastered on - you never know when the camera could be on you - "if she's not the one for me, you can take a shot."

"Awesome!" Finn moved back into an upright position and Kurt glanced over at their father, King Burt Hummel. He looked so… excited. Maybe he was hoping Kurt would meet 'the perfect girl for him' just like he had at his own selection.

"Okay," the prince muttered to himself, "you can do this. Do it for him. Do it for the kingdom." Burt noticed his son looking at him and smiled over proudly. Kurt imagined his mother sitting on the throne nobody bothered to move that rested next to his father's. He knew her face would be shining just as brightly, or brighter than his father's.

"And for her. Especially for her."

Blaine, his mother Pam, his father Devon, and his little sister Penny all crowded around the small TV in their living room. The Anderson family didn't actually have someone enter into The Selection - no one was eligible - nonetheless, this was the most exciting thing to happen in Illéa in a long time.

"Blainey!" Penny exclaimed while bouncing on her brother's lap.

"Yes, Penny-bo-bennie?"

She turned around and placed her small hands on either side of his face. "I'm. So. EXCITED!"

Blaine, or 'Blainey' as she liked to call him, laughed. "Excited? Whatever could you be excited for? I don't remember anything exciting happening today."

"Ugh!" she sassed. "Do I really have to explain this to you again? Today is the day they announce the girls that are going to live at the place and they will each fight for the adormitation of Prince Kurt."

"Adormitation? Do you mean adoration?"

She thought for a second before answering, "Yeah, what you said." She twisted back around to face the TV, still shaking with excitement.

Blaine, however, was not thinking about the girls who got to go to the palace, but rather the boy they were going there for. Prince Kurt Elizabeth Hummel.

Blaine had been seeing him on TV for as long as he could remember, being only a year older than him. He had always had this strange feeling whenever the camera pointed to him. It wasn't until recent years of this life that he realized he was attracted to Prince Kurt.

Blaine's two best friends in the world, Marley Rose and Nicholas Duval, were the only two people he ever told, which is why when Marley's mother wanted her to enter a submission into The Selection, she tried to get out of it.

"It'd just be too weird, knowing that you like him. It'd make me feel awful" she had told him. But in the end, Blaine convinced her. She was, after all, in a lower caste than his family and if she got in, or better yet, married Kurt, it would help her family so much. Besides, it was only a crush.

The Andersons all listened to the announcer call name after name while the screen split to show both the girls applications and Prince Kurt.

Blaine's eyes opened a little wider. It had been a while since he had made an appearance, but he looked better than ever. He had a blue suit jacket on that had a slightly darker shade of blue swirling into an intricate design, pants to match it, and a deep purple button-up underneath. All of which hugged his perfectly toned body in just the right way.

After some more names were called, the name 'Marley Rose' was announced, causing Penny to scream, Blaine's jaw to drop, and Mr. and Mrs. Anderson to smile and clap - Marley was a beloved friend to each of the Andersons (meaning Penny absolutely loves her!).

"Man," Devon shook his head, "I'm happy for the girl but I still had hope that I could convince her to marry my knucklehead of a son," he said like Blaine wasn't in the room, even as he looked directly at him.

Blaine laughed. "Sorry to disappoint, but we're still friends, dad. Just. Friends."
