Kurt checked his phone again. He couldn't help but be disappointed. He had two messages: one from Hunter about the restaurant they were to meet at on Saturday and the other from Noah telling him that he'd have to drive as his truck had broken down yet again. Kurt suddenly lost his appetite as Quinn approached him from across the cafeteria.

"You know, for someone who could have everything you ever wanted you don't look very happy." Quinn sat opposite Kurt.

"Please join me." Kurt bit out with a sarcastic tone as he gestured to the chair opposite "One day, Fabray, you'll actually figure out having everything you ever wanted is not all it's cracked up to be."

"One day, when I have everything, we'll have this conversation again and I'll assure you just how happy I truly am."

"Can't wait, but what is it you really want? Just remember, I don't have my cheque book handy and for large amounts of cash I have to give the bank notice to withdraw it."

"Well, getting dumped has certainly made you even bitchier. Here I was trying to extend an olive branch."

Kurt winced at the memory of Sebastian walking away from him at his party, "And kicking someone when they're down is a great way to do it."

Quinn ignored what Kurt said and carried on talking, "Seeing as I'm the head Cheerio and you are rejoining I thought we should at least try to get along."

"And you being nice to me will help get you back in Glee."

"Of course it would help. Anyway enough of all that, I was saying we should try to get along. You never know, perhaps we could become friends again."

"I wasn't the one who turned my back on our friendship Quinn. As I remember, you chose your popularity over Me, Rach and Cedes when we were all freshman, so forgive me for doubting your sincerity."

Quin sucked in her cheeks and swallowed, "You of all people should know people change. You gave Santana, Puck and Finn another chance. Why not me?"

"Put yourself in my shoes for a minute," Kurt waited for Quinn to acknowledge him before carrying on, "Don't you think this very sudden change seems a bit contrived, seeing as just less than 24 hours ago you were trying to get money out of me?"

Quinn started to get defensive, she wasn't used to not getting her way, "What I suggested yesterday would benefit all of us in Glee, not just me. Unlike you, some of us can't buy our place in the colleges of our choice. Take Puck for example, now he's very talented and the upgrade on the audio and visual equipment would allow him the chance to record a demo to send to record companies. And Artie could use it to get into film school..."

Kurt cut her off "While what you're saying is true, but there is a flaw in your thinking. Noah doesn't want to go into music, that was something you tried to get him to do when you realized how good he was at song writing. He actually wants to major in business studies so he can expand his pool and landscaping business. Artie does want to go to film school, that's true, but he already owns the equipment he needs. If you had stuck around after you had found out that his insurance money from the accident that paralyzed him was already invested in other things and he couldn't spend any of it on you, you would have known that. It also seems strange that, apart from yourself, you only want to help the guys to a better future. I mean, both Rachel and Cedes could use the equipment for their benefit and Tina, Santana and Britt could use the having Glee Nationals Champions on their resumes." Kurt got up to walk away, but as he made to leave he turned back to Quinn, "Oh and by the way, I won't buy my place in college. I'll be earning it like everyone else, because unlike you I want a sense of achievement and pride in what I become."


Mr Schue stood in the choir room with three visitors next to him, waiting for everyone to arrive. Finn, Mike, Sam and Mercedes walked in first, talking among themselves, closely followed by Rachel and Tina. Puck walked in next, pushing Artie, and noticed the visitors immediately, "Hey babe. You here to spy or are you just missing Puckzilla?" Puck winked at Blaine as the boy started to blush.

"What the hell is he doing here?" Finn started walking toward Sebastian before Sam and Mike grabbed him, pulling him away, "You need to go." Finn looked at Hunter, "How could you do this? Why bring him here? You know how much he's hurt Kurt."

Hunter stepped towards him, "Finn, please calm down. He's not here to hurt Kurt. If you all just sit down and listen to Mr Schue, he'll explain."

Finn moved to take a seat as Mercedes spoke, almost in a whisper, to Sebastian, "You may have won over Santana and by default Brittany, but if my boy is not happy with you being here, you're gone. Do we understand each other?"

Sebastian stared her straight in the eyes, "I made a huge mistake and I'll do whatever it takes to get him to forgive me. If he wants me to leave then I'll go, but I won't give up. All I ask of you is that you let him make up his own mind and not interfere."

"You get one chance." And with that Mercedes took her seat.

The room went quiet, "Before we start, does anyone know where Kurt, Santana and Brittany are?" Mr Schue inquired.

"Kurt got pulled out of our last class by Miss Sylvester." Artie answered.

"Santana and Bitt did too." Sam added.

Mr Schue cursed under his breath and then addressed the room again, "Right we'll just have to start without them..." A loud scream was heard from down the hallway.

"What the..." Finn started to say as the door opened and in walked a laughing Santana, Brittany and Kurt.

Santana fought through her laughter and spoke, "Sorry for being late, Coach Sylvester needed to see us and Quinn."

"Girl, you better tell us that screaming wasn't any of you?" Mercedes looked concerned.

"Oh no, not us. That was Quinn when she got told she wasn't head cheerleader anymore and who was."

"Well done Santana, I'm sure you will make a excellent head for the Cheerios."

"It's not me Mr Schue, I'm still the vice. Kurt here is the head." Everyone suddenly noticed Kurt in his uniform.

Sebastian's mouth dropped open as he eyed Kurt, " Put your tongue away Seb." Blaine whispered

"He's a friggin walking fantasy. I just want to ..."

"Seb, remember, he's not yours anymore." The words were like ice cold water being tipped on his head.

"Well done Kurt. Now everyone back to your seats."

Kurt walked to his seat and that was when he noticed the three boys standing with Mr Schue. Hunter and Blaine waved in Kurt's direction and mouthed hello, Sebastian just stared and gave a small uncomfortable smile.

"Right, you may all be wondering why we have three Warblers standing with us, so if Santana would like to come here she'll explain everything."

Santana stepped in front of the three boys, smiling at the rest of New Directions and avoiding making eye contact with Kurt, "Now, all of you know these three behind me and I'm as shocked as you that these were the ones chosen for this little experiment."

"Yeah, sure you are." Kurt spat at Santana.

"Kurt, just hear her out before you lose it." Kurt looked at Mercedes with shock written all over his face.

"Thank you Cedes. As I was saying, I didn't know Dalton was going to send these guys when I went to Mr Schue and Figgins with this idea. This is what I call a show choir exchange programme, but officially it's just a school exchange programme. These three are not only Warblers they have the top grades for their year and seeing as our top graded students are in New Directions it seems like a fair swap."

"So you're saying we get them and three of us will be going to Dalton?" Artie asked.

"That's right, Wheels. Now we all know that Mike, Artie and Kurt have the best grades but seeing as Kurt has only just come back from being a student at Dalton it only seems fair that we send someone else in his place, so drum roll please." The guy in the band did as she said, "We're sending Finn."

"I'm not going there and leaving my brother while he's around." Finn jumped up and sat next to Kurt.

Santana shot a look at Rachel and Mercedes, and the two started talking to Finn about it being a good idea and how he could get secrets on how to beat The Warblers this time around. Kurt just sat quietly as everyone seemed to talk around him.

"Dolphin, are you okay?" Brittany sat herself down on Kurt's lap, "Don't you want the other birdies here?

"I looks like it doesn't matter if I wanted it or not Britt, the decision was already discussed and made without my input being needed."

"Well, I won't let bad birdie make you cry anymore. I'll stay with you from now on so he can't get to you, let's go get some ice cream." Brittany jumped up and took Kurt's hand, leading him out of the choir room.

" Yet another great plan Satan." Sebastian said after the door closed behind Kurt and Brittany.

"You should have a bit more faith, Stringbean. If you didn't screw up in the first place we wouldn't have to do all this so suck it up."

"Will someone please tell me what's going on?" Mr Schue said with Finn standing next to him nodding.

"Posh boy," Santana pointed at Sebastian, " screwed up his good thing with Hummel and is now trying to get him back. But because of the good work done by Kurt's girls, when they broke up, he's going to find it difficult. So, me being a romantic at heart, I offered my help to said idiot."

"So the exchange scheme is a set up?" Mr Schue questioned.

"No, it's legit, but the coincidence is that the Three Amigos here just are the top students and sending the Pillsbury Doughboy in place of Kurt was to free up space in the Hudmel house for their guests."

"Do my Mom and Burt know about this?" Finn spoke up.

"Of course, we let GI Joe take care of Papa Hummel."

Finn turned to Hunter, " How did you get Burt to allow him in the house?" Finn poked Sebastian in the shoulder.

Sebastian stepped up into Finn's space, "Don't push me Finnessa. I screwed up, okay. I know it, you know it and so does everyone. Hunter cleared the path for himself and Blaine to stay at yours, I'm staying with Puckerman until I get Kurt to forgive me."

"No, no, my plan was for you to stay at Kurt's. Why can't you dumbass boys do anything right?" Santana pulled out her phone and started punching in numbers as she disappeared into the hallway.

She was gone for about five minutes when she came back into the room, "Okay Mr H, I'll tell them...HA if he does, get a picture for me...Yeah see you soon, bye." Santana placed her phone back in her bag, "Right, all set, Hunter and Blaine will take Mike, Artie and Powder puff home to get their stuff and then drop them off at their new home for the next four weeks and you've..." Santana stood in front of Sebastian as an amused smile slipped on her face, "got an appointment with Papa Bear in half an hour."

All colour drained from Sebastian's face as Santana added, "Oh and by the Grandma C will be there too."


Hope you enjoyed it. As always let me know what you think.
