And I'm back with another one shot. I saw Rumours Tuesday and well my heart broke...I mean, there was Fabrevans, but my poor baby Sam...it was just...ugh...I'll be writing a fic based on that and another Fabrevans one based on an idea I saw...so look for that! Until then, here's this!


It was the day after prom and Quinn, playing with her crown, was not any happier. She thought she had finally gotten everything she ever wanted. She was wrong. She tossed her crown on her perfectly made bed and leaned back in her chair. Life was not good for Quinn Fabray right now. She got her crown, she had the most popular guy in school as her boyfriend and New Directions was going to Nationals. She should be on top of the world. But she wasn't. Said boyfriend was busy. The crown didn't have as much sparkle as she thought it would, and Rachel Berry was down their throat about Nationals (even after the slap at prom.) And, Mr. Schue had given them an assignment for the following week: duets. Again. It was overplayed and she knew Mr. Schue was just trying to figure out who was going to sing at Nationals, but she felt...deflated. He was mixing up partners again and he didn't think Finn's voice fit best with her voice. What did he know? When they sang before, it was amazing. And she had told everyone that Finn was to only sing with her, but Mr. Schue did not go for that. So, Finn was paired with Santana. And she...she was paired with Sam. Of all the people in glee club, why him? Why the one guy who could make her heart speed up and slow down just by looking at her? Was Mr. Schue insane?

She looked over at her alarm clock, realizing he would arrive soon. She stood up, placed the crown back in it's glass case, and fixed her dress. If Sam was coming over, she would make him realize what a mistake it was to break up with her. She was prom queen, after all. She was back on top of the figurative social pyramid at McKinley and everything was back in order. Finn was her boyfriend again and not much could stop the power couple. I will make him want me.

Quinn heard the doorbell ring downstairs, but she made no move to answer it. She let her mom get it, knowing she would give the boy a scare. She sat at her vanity as she heard the heave steps of her ex-boyfriend. He walked into the room and she didn't even bother to look up at him.

"Quinn, let's just get this over with, okay?" he asked as he stood right inside the doorway.

She turned to him and gave him her best smirk. She was going to make him begging to take him back. And if he did, she might actually consider it. He was, after all, cute. And a football player. He definitely had a better voice than Finn. Yes, he would do just as well, if not better, than Finn.

"Fine," she said as she walked to her mirror. "What do you have in mind for us to sing?" she asked as she looked back at him.

He shrugged his shoulders and sat down on her bed. He pulled his guitar out of it's case and started warming it up. He played a few chords and looked back up at her.

"I have a few ideas. Mainly love songs. That's what duets usually are, right? If you are okay with that."

She figured it would be a love song but she wasn't so sure how she felt about singing another love song with Sam. Every time they had in the past, she fell a little more in love with him. This wasn't what she wanted at all. She needed to prove to herself and Sam Evans that she was the one in charge in the situation. She placed her hands on her hips and raised her eyebrow.

"I didn't think we'd be singing a rock song," she answered in her typical sarcastic fashion.

Sam rolled his eyes, used to the fake displays of disinterest she put on. He had dated her for quite a while and he knew her well. He wished she could go back to being the girl she was when they dated. She was nice and sweet and she laughed. This assignment was not an easy one for the blond boy. He

still had feelings for Quinn and he was trying his hardest to get over them. And even though she had helped him through hard times with his family, she was still the same person.

"I was researching some powerful duets. I really want to win this, Quinn. I want a chance to sing a solo or a duet at Nationals, Quinn. So please, take this seriously."

Quinn instantly felt bad. He was being so serious and she was being hateful. She sat down on the end of her bed and folded her hands in her lap. She played with the end of her hair, twirling it around her finger. She bit her lip and looked up at him.

"I'm sorry, Sam. I'm taking this seriously."

Sam nodded his head. He was tired of being pushed around by Quinn Fabray.

"The only thing is, I couldn't find a duet I really liked. But I did find a song that I think we could make into a duet. It's called 'When the Day Met the Night.' It's by Panic at the Disco and I think we can pull it off."

Quinn had to admit she had never heard of the song before, but if Sam liked it, it had to be good. He always had good taste in music, even if it was a little off the beaten track.

"Sure. Did you already split up the parts?"

"I did."

He put his guitar aside and pulled out the music and handed it to her. Her parts in pink while his were in blue. Quinn nodded her head and Sam picked his guitar back up. He started strumming the intro to the song. He knew they would need more instruments when they actually sang in front of everyone, but he would talk to the band about that later.

"When the moon fell in love with the sun, all was golden in the sky, all was golden when the day met the night," he started to sing.

"When the sun found the moon, She was drinking tea in a garden, Under the green umbrella trees, In the middle of summer."

He smiled at her and picked his part back up, "When the moon found the sun, He looked like he was barely hanging on, But her eyes saved his life, In the middle of summer."

Now she was looking into his eyes and him into hers as they kept singing, that old feeling reemerging. They joined together for the chorus, "In the middle of summer, All was golden in the sky, All was golden when the day met the night, Summer, all was golden in the sky, All was golden when the day met the night, Summer, Golden when the day met the night."

Quinn stopped singing to let him go, "So he said, 'Would it be all right, If we just sat and talked for a while, If in exchange for your time, I give you this smile."

Quinn came back in, "So she said, 'That's okay, As long as you can make a promise not to break my little heart, Or leave me all alone in the summer."

"Well, he was just hanging around, Then he fell in love, And he didn't know how, But he couldn't get out, Just hanging around, Then he fell in love," Sam belted out.

They came back together to finish the song out, "In the middle of summer, All was golden in the sky, All was golden when the day met the night, Summer, all was golden in the sky, All was golden when the day met the night, Summer."

Quinn sang by herself, "When the moon fell in love with the sun, All was golden in the sky," and then Sam joined her for the last line, "All was golden when the day met the night..."

Sam stood there, staring into her eyes and Quinn stared right back, looking deeply and searching his soul. She saw love. That was all and that was all she needed to see. She gently wrapped her arms around his neck and reached in to kiss him but he stopped her. He wasn't that guy. He wasn't Finn.

"Break up with Finn first. If you can do that then you can have me."

He wasn't backing down and Quinn knew he was right. Plus, she had promised herself she wouldn't cheat on another boyfriend. And if she did, Sam might never take her back, always afraid that he would get cheated on again.

Quinn let go of him and walked to her vanity. She sat down and picked up the phone. She pressed the familiar number and waited for Finn to answer the phone. Turns out he wanted to break up as much as she did and once it was settled...well, Quinn didn't stay single for long.


If you have never heard the song, I recommend going and listening to it. It's an awesome song! Oh and reviews are always welcome and loved.
