AN: Hello Gleeks! Thanks to The Gray Rock, this week's update is "Hello," or, as I like to call it, the first appearance of the beautiful Jonathan Groff! …Ok, maybe I don't refer to it like that All the time, but you get my point. Anyway, after this is "Hello Goodbye," and then, dun dun dun, the Madonna episode! Review what you want Lynn to talk about please. Alright, here we go!

Disclaimer: I don't own Glee.

"Hello"

So, Mr. Schue got super-ticked at Rachel for quote, "not taking the assignment seriously," unquote, so I'm helping her look for music in the sheet music store she frequents. I don't really know why she picked me to shop with, but I can't say I care. I was promised Frozen Coke…Do you know those only cost a dollar now? Insane. Needless to say, I couldn't pass up her offer. Which is why I'm currently looking through sheet music that predates my life. "Hello" by Evanescence might be good…Wait, no one would sing that in Glee. Maybe I should ask Tina about it. Oooh, what about "Hello Twelve, Hello Thirteen, Hello Love"? No, that wouldn't work either. Too much weirdness for Mr. Schue to handle. "Hello Goodbye." That would be great! I'll go tell Rachel…

Who's she talking to? He looks familiar. He's stealing her sheet music. Lionel Richie? Weird. He's also bogarting the piano…Bogarting…funny word. He's trying to convince her to sing. That shouldn't take much work. I've heard his voice before…Where, though?

They harmonize really well together. It's only a matter of time before…I'll get to that later. He's smiling. So is she. There it is! The patent-pending Rachel Berry "Potential male lead" stare. That's the first time I've seen it reflected, though. Mysterious singer guy has got the hots for Broadway Berry! Nothing like some mad musical chemistry to get you over a bad breakup…Um…So I've heard…Online…Moving on.

Rachel's now sitting with Mystery Guy on the piano bench and…Hang on…When did the String Trio get here? Did they slip in while I was distracted by the chemistry? Such chemistry…Is it hot in here? No? Maybe it's just me and the vicarious living.

That last "I love you" was so charged I'm getting goosebumps. Applause. Mystery Guy speaks.

"We should do this more often. How's Friday night?"

Rachel smiles and nods…I don't want to interrupt, but after that song, I really need that frozen coke…and maybe a shower…a cold one…So much chemistry…Where was I going with this? Oh yeah, talk to Rachel.

"Um, Rachel?"

I have to try a few times before I get her attention, and she still sounds dreamy.

"Yes, Lynn?"

"I found sheet music that I think would be good for Glee."

She snaps out of the chemistry haze.

"You did? What is it? Would it suit my range? Of course it would. Would it suit Finn's?"

I hand her the music.

"Hello Goodbye? This would be fantastic! And if we change the key and add a few things, I'm sure this would be an excellent addition to our repertoire in New Directions!"

Mystery Guy clears his throat and draws back her attention.

"Rachel? Aren't you going to introduce us?"

"Oh, yes." She's all aflutter...Weird phrase. "Jesse, this is Lynn Carter. Lynn, this is Vocal Adrenaline's male lead, Jesse St. James."

I'm in shock…Jesse St. James? Vocal Adrenaline? Say something!

"Um, nice to meet you." Something else! Something that'll let you get away from the chemistry!

"So, I need to be getting home. Chemistry and all that." Crap, why did I say that?

"I didn't know you were taking Chemistry, Lynn."

"I'm not…I mean, I'm in a different class than you are."

"Oh, I see. I'm very sorry, Jesse, but Chemistry will not be kept waiting."

He looks disappointed. I kind of feel bad, but I still have the overwhelming need to get away. They exchange numbers, and after Rachel and I buy the "Hello Goodbye" music, we finally escape the Chemistry.

On the way home, Rachel near-constantly sings, no pun intended, the praises of Jesse St. James while I enjoy my frozen coke. I nearly choke on my straw when I realize why he was familiar.

Last summer, I stayed with my aunt who lives in New York. She generally keeps away from the rest of the family because they don't like her beliefs, but I'm her favorite niece. She took me to a couple of Broadway shows, one of which was Spring Awakening. The guy who played Melchior was a dead-ringer for Jesse…I now feel kind of bad about myself…I had a huge crush on Jonathan Groff, and now Rachel's "dating" his doppelganger. Why do I feel like this can't end well?

Thanks for Reading! Please review!
