"And what was just a world is a star. Tonight..." Rachel and Blaine smile at each other as they end the song. To Rachel, it was perfect and without a doubt will leave the audience speechless when they perform this weekend. It's Monday, and that left them with only 4 days until opening night on Friday. She was nervous but confident that everything will run smoothly. And she was sure to impress the talent scouts that are going to be there. None were from NYADA, but she will take everything that the best can offer to her.

Of course, that confidence was not long for her to have.

"You two lack passion. Have you two actually..." The silence that continues was completely awkward and coupled with her nervousness at having to actually answer that question; she wanted the floor to swallow her up. Ms. Pillsbury and Coach Beiste chose to flee from the moment, each of them blushing madly and sprouting weak excuses. Artie was waiting for them to answer and damn Blaine gestured to her, promptly making Artie's attention focusing on her. Rachel quickly tried to figure out what to say but honestly, what is there to say when you actually have not done the deed yet? "Ummm..." She sputtered.

"I'm just waiting for the right time." Blaine jumped in. Seeing Rachel speechless was quite fascinating but did not help with the situation, he thought.

"Yes, exactly. M- Me too" Rachel said and turned to whisper to him how glad she was that he was her Tony.

"Look, as your friend I support your strange aversion to fun. But as your director, I'm concerned." Artie said to them. Rachel and Blaine blanched. Oh no.

"I- I'm sor-ss sorry. But what do you mean?" Rachel was terrified. And furious. She has basically given her all and she was sure Blaine has too. He usually scrunched his eyebrows whenever he's feeling the song.

"Well, how do you expect to convey the human experience to an audience when you haven't even opened yourself up to one of humanity's most basic and primal ones?" Artie explained.

Then she and Blaine both realized,

They have to give their ALL. Including their virginity.


"Well that wasn't awkward at all, was it?" Rachel and Blaine laughed. She was really glad that Blaine was her Tony. If there is anybody that can help her through the intense rehearsal session and then make an awkward moment like that into a joke; it was Blaine.

And Kurt, she thought. Mercedes too. But they both didn't want anything to do with her. And she only has herself to blame.

"No, it wasn't." Rachel smiled. They walked backstage and went to get their bags. Blaine offered her a ride home, which she accepted. Lately Blaine has been her ride to and fro to school when she's not driving her car. She would have asked Finn but lately he has been busy with football and getting his scholarship as well as hanging out with Rory Flanagan. Oh, and not to mention the daily verbal attack between Santana and Finn. If she didn't know any better, she would have thought Finn was into Santana. But seeing as Santana is about as straight as Puck was gay, she put the thought to rest.

But it still did not sit well with her that her boyfriend was spending time with everyone but her. Sure, she sounded like a whiny girlfriend but at least she came to his football match and stayed with him during his practice. At least she was making an effort to be at his side. He did not.

So, how on Earth was she going to have sex with him?

"Blaine," Blaine looks at her. They were approaching his car and both got inside the car. "How are we going to do this?" She asks quietly.

Blaine was trying to start the engine when he froze. Surely Rachel did not think that they should do it like, like together? He turn to face Rachel, his eyes questioning and Rachel, realizing how her question sounded like, quickly shook her head and smacked Blaine on his arms, "Not together, you idiot! Ugh, get your mind out of the gutter." Rachel said. Blaine grins seeing the repulsive look on Rachel. It was funny.

"Oh, please. You were practically begging me to be your boyfriend last year!" Blaine teased. Rachel's mouth opened in shock.

"You're telling me. Who was it that threw me to a couch and said, "Be the Ginny to my Harry!" and then continued to make-out with me last year?" The memories were hazy but they both remembered what happened at her train wreck-extravaganza party last year and cringed. Definitely not one of the proudest moments they've had together.

"Hey, you cannot deny that Ginny is perfect for Harry. She is strong, courageous and sexy. Harry is one lucky guy. And no amount of Draco will ever compete with that." He added seeing as Rachel tried to cut in. "How can you even liked the guy? He's a complete douche to everyone and didn't acknowledge Ginny at all." Blaine continued.

"I would like to point out that Draco actually did acknowledge her in Chambers and in the last book when he asked Zabini about her." Rachel point out proudly. Rachel loved the books. That was one of the things that she and Blaine had in common, much to the distaste of their boyfriends. And Rachel believe that while Harry is perfect for Ginny, after reading some fanfiction stories on Draco and Ginny (thanks to the brilliant introduction from Sam on the world of fanfiction), she instantly liked the pair (or shipping, as they call it). Blaine was not amused, though.

"I mean, Ginny is the perfect woman for Harry. But sometimes, I just wished that Ginny could find a guy that maybe appreciated her more. And I know what you're gonna say: Harry does appreciate her and he was trying to save the wizarding world as an excuse." Rachel quickly said when Blaine tried to cut in. "But, Ginny is strong enough, Harry could have let her in and she could help him with whatever because she loves him that much. But he chose not to because he was afraid and Ron and Hermione were enough for him. Draco on the other hand, might be the most cowardly person I've ever read about. But when his arrogance comes out, so does his bravery. I think everyone just mistaken him for a pathetic slimy git because that's how Harry sees him. I think that Draco would always be by Ginny's side, one because he does not have anything that could be remotely important to him like Ginny and because he got his kicks off annoying her brothers. And to think of the sparks when Draco and Ginny would get because of their intense hatred to each other will bloom when they realized they like each other. Seriously Blaine, you have to read that story I told you. You will change your mind. It is really a good piece of reading." Rachel explained. Blaine was surprised to see Rachel giving her profound insight on her obvious "ship", He wondered if she realized the way she explain it hits a little too close to home for her.

"I will read it if you promise to watch a Merlin marathon with me after this whole play is finished."

"Oh, please no, Blaine. I won't watch it if they made Lancelot evil in it. Lancelot is my knight in shining armour." Rachel protested.

"You would like this version of the legend and let me tell you, once you've seen it, you fall hard for Arthur and ship him with Gwen in no time. No shining Lancelot in this story." Blaine said convincingly. Rachel pouted.

They've arrived at her place shortly afterwards. Rachel slings her bag and hesitated. She turns to Blaine.

"What?" He asks.

"What are we gonna do about... you know? It." Rachel whispered the word and if not for her eyes that were shining with much embarrassed confusion and innocence (as innocent as Rachel could get); he would have laugh on the spot. But he didn't because he too was confused as to what to do. He didn't think Kurt was prepared for that, was he?

"I don't know Rachel. I have to think it through and maybe talk. With Kurt." Rachel nodded and got out of the car.

"Wait, Rach," Rachel closes the door and turn back as Blaine rolls down the window. "What are you going to do?" Blaine asks.

Rachel bit her lip. It was a sure sign that she was nervous or lost in her baffled mind. She's been doing that a lot lately.

"I don't know. Maybe talk to my dads. And maybe Finn." Rachel said. Blaine noted how she was hesitant in saying Finn's name.

"It's alright. I think what Artie said was just bogus. I mean, do we really have to do it just for it to work? I mean, we can act like we know about it, right?" Blaine said, his voice wavered towards the end. He was not convincing either of them, but both pretended it did.

"Yeah, you're right. I'll see tomorrow, B" Rachel said and ran to her front porch.

"You too, Rach." Blaine waved and reversed his car back before driving away.


Rachel was sad. She was sad because it had taken her to flirt and suggested a night of something more at his house for Finn to actually glance at her. At first, she wanted to do what Blaine said, act like we know. But since she and Finn have been together on and off for two years now, she think it's time for her to jump into bed, literally.

So, Thursday 6 P.M it is. Her first time. With Finn. The man of her dreams. The man she loves.

So, why did it seem like everything was wrong?

She tried to suppress it, claiming to be afraid because of it being her first time. She has to do this. She must if she wants to impress Artie and everyone there and to get into NYADA. She has to. She must.

It's just, Finn has become quiet distant from her. She could blame it on her busy schedule for the school play and on him wanting to get his scholarship. But the truth is, Rachel didn't think neither was to blame. It seems that both of them just wanted some time apart. Finn mostly, since she actually misses him; calling and sometimes going to his house to spend some time together.

But Finn was always busy and hanging with his football friends more often. When she asked him, he just said that it was his final year; he wanted to make friends with everyone and cherish all of them.

"Unlike you." She swore she could hear him say it. His eyes did though. As if accusing her of it. And she was not okay with it.

Rachel walked inside the auditorium. On the stage and around it, people are bustling with the last preparation for tomorrow. Some are making light touches on the props and sets. Some are adjusting the lights on the ceiling. Actors are practicing their numbers and lines. She sees Santana already in her costume. A red dress that clung to her and she was beautiful in it. Add the "experience" that Rachel was lacking with it and she looks like a star.

Something that Rachel should be. And she still could. Because, despite Artie's comment, Rachel knew that she was good. No, Great and even better than Santana or any other casts here because she had the talent that they could only dream of having. She is Rachel Berry, for God's sake! She was going to make it through this play, even without her lack of the "most basic and primal human experience".

Smiling that mega-watt smile that usually comes when she was determined, she struts up the stage and smiles at everyone (Santana was glaring at her) and went backstage to get ready.


Blaine was nervous. The play is going to start in 20 minutes and Rachel had just dropped the bomb. She's still a virgin.

Of course, being her Tony, that meant he was still a virgin too.

Both of them laugh despite being nervous as hell. How can they even pull this off when both of them are lacking that 'passion' Artie wanted?

"Look, the audience is smart. The only sensible solution is to cancel the show." Rachel stammered. "I would rather send everybody home than gives a false and unauthentic performance."

Blaine turns toward Rachel. Her hands are shaking and there was this crazy glint in her eyes that makes her look... well, crazy. This is not Rachel. This nervous and shaking girl besides him.

"Rachel, look at me." Rachel turned and nearly laughed at him. His face looks like a clown with all the blush on his doubled-layered cake powder cheeks. She took some tissue and began to rub some of it off while listening to him speak. "I know that you're afraid. No. no. Don't give me that look. I'm in the same position as you are right now. So I know how it feels. But seriously, you are Rachel Berry. The I-don't-care-I-cry-everytime-I-sing-and-wrote-a-winning-Regionals-song Diva Rachel Berry. The Rachel Berry I know does not chicken-out whenever there's a battle. She strives to win it however she can. And right now, we're fighting a battle on that stage later. And we are going to own it. Because we are Rachel Berry and Blaine Anderson, the ones who wants the solos all to themselves because it's their show and not others', according to Santana, that is." Blaine grins.

Rachel smiles. "Have I mentioned how lucky I am that you are my Tony?"

"Yes, several times. But I'd never get used to it. Feel free to pamper me all the time with your display of gratitude."

"Haha, very funny." They laugh as Artie wheels himself past them.

"Five more minutes. Rachel, darken your eyebrows, and Blaine. Tone down the blush. You look like a clown." Both of them wanted to retort some comeback but Artie was too fast for them and they immediately went to work on their make-up.

"My eye-brows are just fine."

"I don't look like a clown."

"You do."

"Shut up, Rach."


"Hey, what are you looking at? Is Finn there?" Rachel asked him, tipping her toes trying to see over his shoulder. Blaine pulled back the curtain and took a deep breath. Rachel seeing this quickly asks, "Is something wrong?" Blaine shook his head. "You look paler than you did when you were a clown." Rachel giggled.

"Oh, haha. Very funny. Nothing. Just looking over at the Warblers. I'd invited them to watch, you know. Didn't think all of them came though." He said. He didn't want to tell her that Sebastian presence was getting to him. The dude actually hit on him and he was not okay with that. Even when Sebastian said that he just wanted to be 'friends'.

Over to the other side of the stage, he saw Kurt eyeing up Sebastian down in the audience. He was kind of turned on by Kurt's possessiveness and yet acknowledged that Kurt feels insecure and scared. What for, he does not know. But whatever it is that sent Kurt off, he was sure would never happen.

As if sensing his gaze, Kurt turned and locked eyes with him. They were still in their "silent" moment after the gay bar incident. Man, was he drunk. He smiled at Kurt and mouthed 'I love you' at him. Kurt smiled at him and that was all that mattered to him.

"Yeah, and they are all wearing their uniforms." Rachel said while taking a peek through the curtains. "What is it with you guys and your blazers? Do you get paid whenever you leave and wear it?" Rachel joked.

"Yeah, One dollar for every one hour." Rachel turned around shocked and smacked Blaine on his head when she realized he was joking.

"So, this is it." Rachel said

"Yeah."

"Nervous?"

"Extremely. You?" Blaine asks

"After that pep talk you gave me? I think I could rule the world!" Rachel fistpumped, causing both of them to giggled.

Both of them watched as Santana and the others finished America, earning a household round of applause.

The nervousness came back full-force. Blaine gulped, "How are we, as virgins, going to top that?" He asked looking at his side where Rachel demurely stood. He could see the crazy fire glint in her eyes again. Only this time, he was sure it was the glint of determination that only Rachel Berry has.

"Tony and Maria were soulmates, okay. Against all odds they've found each other. I-i think I know what it's likes. And you do too." Blaine saw the way she falters and only smiles at her encouragingly.

"And we just have to play that. Okay. We, as actors have to tap into that." Rachel smiled. She reminded herself of how it was when she first met Finn and how they sang the Madonna mash-up that was so full of sexual tension they had to run away from each other.

If only it is still the same for them now.

Just then, a crew member came up behind them, tapping into Blaine's shoulders. They both nodded.

"Okay?" Rachel asks again. They both look at each other. Smiling, they both made their way towards the stage.


Okay, I know. It's not much. But it was better than before and it's all thanks to my Beta-Reader "Dreamin . of . Scotland! She have been so much help to me. But still, It would help if somebody could review or maybe PM me and give me some constructive criticism. Hope you enjoy this chapter.

Next chapter is on Sebastian point of view.
