***Someone requested Mercedes being on a radio show while on tour and Sam hearing her request Human Nature. Now I read sometime else's one shot that was similar to this one so I didn't want to write it at first. Then I decided to do it with a twist and got another request saying have Mercedes and Sam talk in code. So it's funny how us samcedians think alike. Here goes Human Nature!*** I don't own glee or any lyrics.


Sam was walking out to meet with Beiste about a play he came up with, when he overheard a familiar voice. He stepped back and saw a cheerio dancing to a song playing on her phone.

"Excuse me what's that?" Sam asked catching the young girl's attention.

"Sorry coach, I forgot my headphones!" She apologized as she began to turn the volume down.

"No it's okay! Turn it back up!" Sam instructed. She eyed him as she did what he requested. "That's Mercedes Jones!"

"Yeah, I love her! Leave a light on is on almost every station!" The young girl stated. "I heard she graduated from here but I also heard that was a rumor!"

"No she definitely did graduate from here!" Sam stated smiling proudly. Then he heard her voice as the DJ announced her.

"That was the newest single from Mercedes Jones. And we have her in the studio today." The DJ continued.

"What station is that?" Sam asked the student.

"Oh… it's not a Lima station. I'm from Texas and this is WTXL… no offense but Lima stations are wack! I listen to them thru IHEART radio."

"None taken! I'm not from here, but thanks!"

"No prob!" She said grabbing her backpack and walking off. He said rushing to the locker room to grab his laptop. He found the station just as they were asking her about her album.

"Yeah I wrote most of my songs, especially Leave a light on." Mercedes added.

"Okay so what's this song about exactly?"

"Basically it's about a working woman like me who travels a lot spending a lot of time away from her man. Of course he's sad about her leaving, right…" She laughed as the DJ agreed.

"I know I'd be mad too!"

"So she calls bae up and says baby I'm going to be home tonight so leave the light on for me." She giggled. Sam couldn't help but wonder if the song was for him.

"Alright so how about we take some calls. I was at one of the mall tours and I'm letting you know now you have a lot of fans already!"the DJ shouted out the number and Sam took it down as he started to dial.

"It's crazy but I really love them all." Sam was beaming with pride. He was so happy she was living her dream. Finding out that she was definitely not skim milk.

"Are you ready for the first caller?"

"Bring it on!" She exclaimed. Sam couldn't get thru but he kept calling over and over.

"You're on the air with Mercedes Jones, what's on your mind?"

"Oh my God! Mercedes I love love love you!"

"Awwwwww I love you too! Wassup mama?" Mercedes asked.

"Oh my gosh I'm so … Um OK my question is about the duet that was recently leaked. Will you have a video for both singles or just the duet?"

"Oooh good question!" Mercedes crooned. "Well my manager thinks it would be best for me to just do Leave a light on but I really wanna do this video with Santana. She's the one I'm doing the duet with and she's on the tour as well. Good question!"

"Thank you! Tell Santana we love her too!" The caller said before they moved on to the next call.

"That was amazing!" Mercedes said as the DJ agreed with her again. Sam continued to dial.

"Alright caller, you're on with the amazing Mercedes Jones!"

"Caller how are you?" Mercedes asked. Sam paused he couldn't believe he got through. And he didn't think of what he would ask once he did. "Are you there?"

"I think they fainted!" The DJ said laughing.

"No I'm here!" Sam finally said. "Hi Mercedes!" And then there was silence. She already knew it was him. He smiled at that and continued to speak. "I was wondering what's your favorite Michael Jackson song. I heard you're a big fan of his." Sam knew the answer but he wanted to confirm with her that it was him without saying his name.

"Good question caller, 'cause you've got her stunned!" The DJ said laughing. "Are you OK Mercedes?"

"Yes yes yes… I'm okay!" Mercedes cleared her throat. "Yes I'm a huge fan of his as well as the late Whitney Houston!" She added. Sam frowned as he remembered the song she sang to him that caused him to cry.

"Yes I heard that as well." Sam added finally.

"Uh oh seems we have the ultimate fan on the line here!" The DJ said not knowing how true that statement was.

"I am… her biggest fan! I've been her biggest fan for as long as I can remember but I just wanted to know if she remembered stating that a certain MJ song was get favorite!"

"I do remember it… do you remember it, caller?"

"Ohhhhhhhhh I remember it and I think maybe we should sing it together!" Sam added.

"Um no I don't think so!"

"Great idea! Mercedes exclusive live singing right here on WTXL! Singing with a fan that seems to know a lot!" The DJ said getting hype.

"Come on sing Human Nature with me… after that you can go on to the next call… I won't stop you…" Sam teased.

"Can we just…" Mercedes was cut off by the sound of human nature instrumental playing in the background. "I can't believe I'm about to do this…" She said laughing before she began to sing. Sam smiled as he closed his eyes remembering that time in the auditorium. " Looking Out…across the night time…the city winks a sleepless eye…hear her voice…shake my window..sweet seducing sighs…"

"Get me out…into the nighttime…four walls won't hold me tonight…if this town…is just an apple…then let me take a bite…" Sam smiled as they sang the rest of the song together live on the radio.

"That right there would make MJ proud!" The DJ exclaimed.

"We're missing something though!" Sam said and the studio went quiet.

"Um we sang the entire song!" Mercedes said obviously not remembering what he was.

"Last time we sang this we sealed it with a kiss!" Sam added as the studio erupted.

"Mercedes, you holding out?" The DJ asked. Sam knew he was pushing it and that Mercedes was going to tear him a new one.

"Can we go to commercial or something!"
