Chapter 4

Here is the conclusion of Tilt-A-Whirl. Thank you again for reading my version of the ride! It was driving me crazy how Glee was holding this excellent summer with Samcedes hostage! No flashbacks or nothing! It's ok doe cuz' the Glee fan fiction community told their story.

Love Ya

I'm here- Sam Evans texted his cousin, Simon.

Be there in two minutes- Simon texted backed.

Sam stood in front of the carnival gates with the rest of New Direction.

"Dude, will there be any cotton candy left?" Finn asked?

"Yes Finn, I made sure to put some cotton candy aside for you." Sam looked up at the taller boy.

Sam swelled with pride for being able to pull this Glee Appreciation Night off and being aware of his club members' needs and wants. Thanks to Simon and the rest of the crew the park was fully staffed. He was going to owe his co-workers for the rest of the summer, but it was worth it. He wouldn't have been able to pull it off without them.

"I want to ride the Tunnel of Love," Rachel placed her hand over her heart and swooned leaning into Finn. Finn blinked realizing he was the victim going on the ride with her.

"Can we grab my cotton candy first" He asked?

"Not me I want to ride the fastest rides here." Tina commented. Poor Mike looked queasy at what Tina had in store for them.

Sam loved how relaxed the New Direction looked. Rachel in her tan Bermuda shorts and puffy sleeved shirt was even dressed like a normal person. Quinn was dressed in a pastel spaghetti strapped sundress. Brittany and Santana were wearing matching tennis skirts that looked exactly like their cheerleading skirts in white and red shirt. Maybe it was a best friend thing?

Sam laid his eyes on his favorite outfit. He had asked Mercy politely to wear a skirt; she wore a jean skirt that stopped a little past her knees. His second request he knew would be hard to pull off in the summer without looking like a tour guide – a button down shirt; Mercy managed to find a pale green cotton swooped neck shirt that buttoned all the way down, He hoped she was able to find a bra that hooked from the front. She looked so sexy he couldn't wait to get her on the rides.

San pulled his eyes off of her and locked eyes with Artie who looked reserved pushing up his glasses.

"Artie, I would like you to meet Paula," Sam introduced the blue-eyed chestnut haired girl next to him.

"Hello," Artie had figured she was Sam's girl. He now hoped she wasn't his pity date.

"Paula here has heard so much about you that she promised to make us her award winning funnel cakes ONLY if she got to hang with you. A lot's riding on you, Artie! And yes her funnel cakes are that good. Can you handle it buddy?" Sam knew Paula would be perfect for Artie. Artie gave her the once over debating. Shit, even if it was a pity date she was pretty enough to make Brittany know he had options. Brittany might get jealous and take him back, he missed her.

"We are getting on the Friendship ride." Brittany linked pinkies with Santana. Nobody bothered to question the existence of the friendship ride.

"Hey everybody, you know my cousin Simon," Sam introduced him as he ushered them inside the gate.

"Hey New Direction, welcome to Appreciation Night." Simon locked eyes with Quinn.

"Quinn, they are clones. Not very good ones." Brittany felt on Sam's face trying to determine which one was real. She could see the difference between them.

"I guess this test would work if they were robots," Brittany tugged at Simons face before giving up. Quinn opened her mouth to explain but closed it as quick, what was the use?

"Quinn, Sy was in your class last year. This thing was his idea and he helped me put it all together." Sam informed her.

"I remember you. Did you really help put this together," Quinn leaned in closer to talk to him.

"Thanks," Simon mouthed to Sam.

"I owed you one," Sam mouthed back. Sam had a feeling they were going to have a great night that could lead to a nice summer.

"I hope the night air isn't too hard on my face," Kurt worried.

"You look terrific, "Blaine reassured him.

"Babes, I'm going to win you a stuffed animal," Puck promised Lauren.

"Do I look like I want a stuffed animal? How about I win you a stuffed animal," Lauren said. Everybody started to pair off to explore the carnival.

Mercedes sat back taking in the whole scene. This was her third time at the carnival after hours. Sam and her tried to test the sexiness of every ride there. The bumper cars were the least sexist. Simon was right Tilt A Whirl was the sexist. Sam was looking sexy himself in his black basketball shorts and an oversize white t-shirt.

"Sam, it looks like everyone has someone to ride with." Mercedes pointed out. They no longer cared who knew about them. They did though have a bet to see how long it would take the club to figure it out without them announcing it. Mercedes money was on Tina figuring it out by next month, she was the most observant. Sam's money was on Santana figuring it out in a week, Satan seemed to know everything.

"Hmm, except us."

"Would you like to be my riding buddy?"

"I would love that."

"You know we have to be a little more careful on the rides with everybody here. I don't want anybody to accidently see my best friends." Sam brushed his hand quickly by her chest. Sam couldn't get enough of her. He was scared that when the time came for them to actually have sex he would be addicted to her, coming back for a fix every day.

"We could actually just ride the rides you know," Mercy suggested. Sam poked out his bottom lip as far as it could go. Mercy flicked his lip laughing at him.

"No thank you, I learned something new to show you on our ride," Sam whispered in her ear. Mercy blushed trying to figure out what else could he show her.

"Hey Mercedes, what ride are you going on?" Tina stopped long enough to ask.

"I'm going on my favorite ride with Sam, Tilt A Whirl." Mercy replied.
