Don't own glee, or any branch of the united states military. *yawns* Okay. You can read now. :-D (The title of this chapter is actually explained n the next one. I still think you will figure it out though)

Red Matter

So they had managed to make it two towns over, and that was in a single night. Thanks to Kurt's strangely guy like ability to fix cars. They managed to steal a beater, one that even Finn was scared to get into before it died on almost 20 miles from where they had left. In fact they went north just to be on the safe side. It was totally Finn's idea, and Rachael stated that they would probably look west because that's the way they were supposed to be heading, and to Finn south would have been checked too because he knew that some major road some how got to Nevada from there. He still didn't think that the Government dudes knew they were going to Nevada. That was a good thing. What was in Nevada anyways, besides Las Vegas?

Of course they had broken quite a few laws that night, and it wasn't really that big of a deal on any of them. They stole a car that hadn't been driven since like before Finn was born and then kind if slightly shop lifted some hair dye. It wasn't like it was a felony or something, well and then when the conned the little old lady at the Hotel to let them stay there for the price of one, instead of three. She didn't seem to mind though. She would when her big ol' Cadillac was missing in the morning.

Finn was setting back with his head in the sink as Kurt was running his fingers through his new died hair. Kurt was really good at this kind of thing, and it was nice having him along, even though, it was kind of weird.

"You know I did it just to get the Aliens to Rachael because she was the only one that knew about them, even though she didn't believe me."

"I know." Kurt said nonchalantly, still running his fingers through his hair.

"And I still don't know why I haven't told that crazy air force guy that I'm not gay and totally in to Rachael?"

"You're protecting her. You know that they would hurt her because she's your… girlfriend I guess. And since even though I don't act like you, you're hoping that I can hold up a little better then she will if we get caught. They will use me to get to you, instead of her."

Finn looked up at him with his eyes a little wide. That was exactly what he was thinking, and was just hoping that maybe Kurt wouldn't see through the whole thing. Finn didn't like the idea, but Kurt was in fact a guy, and even though he didn't act like it, he had more often then not shown amazingly powerful strides in being a man. Standing up and fighting for people around him and himself. He was also Finn's best friend. It was odd and stuff, but he was. Finn could talk to him about anything and he really thought that Kurt was totally awesome for that. Even with him running his fingers through his hair it was cool, because it was Kurt. Not some other guy. It was Kurt. Kurt was cool.

"You're not mad?" Finn asked.

"No," Kurt said as he looked down at Finn and smiled, "Okay set up." Finn did, and Kurt put a towel around his head, and folded it, and then brushed his fingers over Finn's eyebrows. He had bleached Finn's hair first, which was not what Finn wanted. (Everyone bleached their hair to look different.) Finn knew they would be looking for all of them with bleached hair, but Kurt insisted that he trust him.

"So what's up with this Johnson guy anyway? I mean aside from the fact that he shot at us, you seemed more afraid of him then the bullets."

"I am." Finn said as he met Kurt's eyes with a direct intent to ensure that Kurt was just as scared of this guy.

"Why?"

"I think he's a pervert, and not like Puck, like a real pervert. Like the type my mom warned me about when I was a little kid. I could almost see him asking me if I wanted a piece of candy ya know?"

Kurt sat down on the edge of the bath tub, and looked down at the ground. There was something in his eyes that told Finn that this was going to be a long, hard trip for them all.

"He's a Pedophile." Kurt stated as he rubbed his hands together.

"I have no idea what that means." Finn said, but if Pervert brought up Pedophile then damn.

Kurt smiled and then walked out to Rachael who was setting on her bed pensively. Talking to the Aliens about how talented she was. The laptop naturally was quite waiting for a simple break so that they could say something.

"I was thinking first about breaking in to Broadway. Naturally that's where all the great ones start, and if my movie career fails then I can always fall back into my musical theater training, and also the Grammy might help out a lot too." She stopped talking and looked up at Finn who had a towel wrapped around his head like some kind of turban. She smiled at him, and he gave her one of those half smiles he was so good at giving. She looked down at the lap top that had just typed out.

"Perhaps it would be wise of you to first graduate from your William McKinnly High School, Rachael Berry. While we are sure you are of great talent, increasing the standard information that your brain contains would be very beneficial. Knowledge is of course power. With out it then even we would not exist. Bettering yourself is of the greatest importance. Being… Famous is a product of that existence."

"Oh I plan on graduating head of my class." She stated as if fact. There was a sudden little laugh from Kurt who was now trying to cover up his hands with his mouth.

"What's so funny?" Finn asked. He was looking back and forth between the two self admitted Diva's. There was a very intense glare coming from both of them, a show down of sorts between to self centered queens.

"Kurt and I currently have the highest GPA's in the class Finn. Kurt seems to think that he is going to be the Valedictorian." Rachael said as she stood up, and flung her hair. Then looked slightly worried as held on to it suddenly for dear life!

"I am going to be Valedictorian, and… I am going to cut your hair. After which you are going to cut mine. I assure you Rachael mine is going to be far… less forgiving then yours." Kurt said as he moved his bangs slower then usual. Finn didn't understand and as the two walked in to the bathroom he sat down on the edge of the bed.

The gooey stuff was swirling around almost magically in their little cylinder, and Finn watched it carefully. He was actually mesmerized by the odd coloring of the aliens inside. The color was as black as the night sky, with a large amount of purple as if storm clouds were covering a planet. He was also trying to figure out why they were glowing. It wasn't like a black light either, even though it resembled it. Nothing was brighter when the lights were off. White t-shirts, though were visible in the light, didn't glow.

He assumed that they were some where between a liquid and gas state, or perhaps even that the small clusters of purple were the Aliens and the black stuff was there environment where they were safe. His mind raced with the idea of a Gas based life form. No solid elements to them. They could have evolved on a gas giant like Saturn or Uranus. Finn had to hold back a chuckle when he thought of Uranus.

His lap top beeped at him and he looked over. His hands slowly spinning it around wondering what was going to be there. What odd question would be asked, or if there was simply going to be the now seemingly constant message of "Run Finn Hudson."

"You should sleep Finn Hudson. We will keep a look out for you."

"Good idea guys." Finn wasn't tired before, but suddenly at the reading of the words he realized that he was.

He laid back on the Bed and fell asleep. The light from the Cylinder began to move up and down his body like the previous nights. Finn dreamed of the most amazing things.
