Summary: Sebastian meets an intriguing friend of Rachel's, Sam works on his plan for Nationals and Blaine shows someone how fairytale magic is real.

Notes: Adam shows up in this chapter. While his backstory will change slightly his purpose will be the same as it was in canon. Any idea what that is?

In canon, Rachel and Kurt repeatedly tell Finn that CallBacks is a karaoke bar (Episode 4x04: The Break-Up) but once there we find out it's a piano bar (oops writers). As previously stated, I am choosing to make it a piano bar with karaoke on weekends.

In the first section, Rachel has an internal monolog which will be in italics

Reminder: As I said in an end note a while back, in this story the trip to CallBacks when Blaine went to see Kurt (Episode 4x04: The Break-Up) will mirror canon with the big except of Blaine did not sing Teenage Dream.

And no Brittany the math genius.

Sebastian & Rachel

"Tell me again why we had to come all the way down here when we already practiced?"

Rachel knew Sebastian's whining had an ulterior motive but she wasn't going to give in "Because I have to change our reservation with Adam. Plus, I want to make sure we get our spots for the New York Besties Challenge. We have to go first so I can play up the NYADA beating Julliard angle since so many of my school mates are enamored with your boyfriend and there's a good chance they would cheer for him."

"Ok, I get it. So, are you going to tell this Adam guy who Jackie arranged for you to meet while you were in LA?"

"Sebastian Alexander Smythe, stop it. There is no way you're going to get me to say Barbra Streisand…Damn it! You tricked me!"

Sebastian opened the door as they had reached their destination "Here you thought you could go a whole day. By the way, Santana won the pool. She said you couldn't go 2 hours." He looked at his watch and laughed "And for the record, you went a whole 45 minutes."

"So, Blaine got you to say cream pie" Rachel retorted as she walked into CallBacks. "How many points was that on the sex terms word game?"

"I think 50…"

Before Sebastian could finish, a good-looking man came into the room from the back "Rachel, right on time I see. That must be this gentleman's doing." He turned to Sebastian and held out his hand for him to shake "Adam Crawford, welcome to CallBacks."

"Sebastian Smythe."

What the Fuck? Rachel noticed chemistry between the two after about half a second. "Yes, Bastian is Blaine Anderson's boyfriend."

"Ah, our infamous Mr. Anderson. Well, Sebastian Smythe, your boyfriend is a very lucky man."

Rachel felt the need to jump in again when she noticed…What the hell, Sebastian's actually blushing! "I met Barbra Streisand when I was in LA" she blurted out.

That refocused Adam's attention "You met our goddess?"

"Yes, she did" Sebastian confirmed. "One of the Warblers' mom is a record executive and she arranged for Ray and her dads to have dinner with her."

"That must have been amazing but what is a Warbler?"

"The Warblers is the name of my Glee Club" Sebastian answered with a smile which earned him a kick to the shin from his bestie "Hey!"

Adam pretended not to notice and went on as if nothing happened. "Oh, I seem to remember something said about the Warblers in the Rebel Yell video your Blaine was in."

"You saw that?"

"Blaine's YouTube videos are quite popular on campus since everyone found out he was That Guy."

"That Guy?" Sebastian asked.

"That Guy who is a finalist at NYADA without applying" Rachel told him and then tried to change the subject. "And speaking of Glee Club, Adam runs NYADA's version of Glee Club. It's very popular and hard to get in."

"Technically, we perform satire set to music. Something like that group out of Michigan that's so popular online."

"Bastian, they have a version of Baby Got Back that will crack you up." Shit! Rachel knew she would regret saying that the moment after she said it.

However, Sebastian laughed at just the mention of the song causing Adam to ask "What's so funny?"

"Blaine thought that was the Valentine's song I was going to sing to him so he made a plan to pay me back including his performance with Ray of Don't You Want Me..."

"…But instead he sang In Your Eyes to Blaine, his boyfriend, and it was beautiful" Rachel finished for him.

"I'm quite sure it was" Adam said with a sincerity that made Rachel think…Oh No, No, No. He did not go there. "Maybe you, and your Blaine of course, could stop by sometime and we could perform it for you. Or better yet, you could join us and surprise him."

In the words of Miss Mercedes Jones, Oh Hell to the No! "Bastian is only in town for a week and he's extremely busy."

"Too bad, it would have been fun. Now, Rachel why did you want to meet?"

"I wanted to know if we could fit 9 more into our reservation."

Sebastian was confused "Nine? I thought it was just Mike."

"Wes called me this morning and evidently 4 other former Warblers will be in town and I forgot the protection detail."

Sebastian looked out the window and saw Daniel waiting outside. He had argued that he had agreed to a protection detail when he moved to New York. Ok, he knew that was a technicality but Puck was in Paris watching Julien and Julien was the reason he agreed to Daniel in the first place. He obviously lost the argument. "Adam, you realize that makes our total 28 people. Damn, that seems like a lot when you say it out loud."

"I don't see a problem. I talked to the owner before I said yes to your original reservation and he said to bring in as many as you can. Business is always slow the Saturday before school resumes after a break as most student who left town do not return until Sunday. Sebastian, is something wrong?

Sebastian had zoned out a bit as he realized with Adam he might have a solution to a problem. "Adam, are you doing anything Saturday afternoon?"

"Why Mr. Smythe, are you asking me on a date?"

WHAT?! Blaine! Blaine! Blaine! "Of course, he's not" Rachel snapped. "He has a boyfriend."

"Rachel, I was joking" Adam tried to clarify but she didn't believe him. "And Sebastian, my only plan was to catch a football match on the sports channel until 6PM when I need to be here."

"Before you agree to anything, you should probably hear what I'm asking. Like Ray said earlier, the Warblers are going to Nationals but her old Glee Club, the New Directions are going as well and we are all friends. In fact, Blaine, my co-captain, is best friends with the New Directions Captain, Sam. We're having a meeting Saturday afternoon to lay down some ground rules so things will stay that way and we need a neutral moderator. I was hoping maybe you would do it since your only tie to either group is your friendship with Ray."

"Well, one could also say you and I have become friends and in the spirit of that newfound friendship, I would be honored to moderate your get-together."

Are these two idiots serious? "Ok, that's great, but Bastian and I have to go soon and we also need to reserve two slots for Saturday."

"Make that three" Sebastian said. "The guys and I want to perform something. Truthfully, it's another Stress Relief video. Is it alright that we want to film it here?"

"Most certainly." Adam actually seemed excited by the request. "In fact, I had forgotten to tell you that when my owner heard who would be here, he hoped some videos would get online as it seems Blaine is videoed any time he performs. All he asks is that you mention CallBacks. And no need for concern, we will be prepared if that brings in an excessive crowd as I will reiterate, your boyfriend has quite the fanbase at NYADA. We have also been known to get the occasional Julliard student but we are considered enemy territory."

Sebastian looked wide-eyed at Rachel who responded with a nod. She had told him she left for Ohio early when she was bombarded with questions about Blaine, or That Guy, but he had no idea it was that bad. He wondered if Blaine knew. "Oh wow. Ok, I'll make sure anytime any of our group performs they mention CallBacks. And Ray, Blaine plans on telling Sam we're planning on doing this."

"Oh, don't worry about Sam. He's already working on a plan for Nationals."

Sam & Nichole

"Thanks for helping me, Nichole. I probably would have never of found the address Rachel gave me and wound up in New Jersey."

"It's no problem, Sam. I would still be sitting at the loft, torturing myself about what's going to happen on Saturday when I see Jeff again. I just shouldn't come."

Sam wrapped her arm in his as they continued to walk "You're going to come and face Jeff and your brother. You did the right thing and Jeff will see that in time. Trust me as someone whose actually been cheated on and is still friends with his ex and the guy she cheated with." Just when Nichole thought she couldn't fall in any deeper, Sam smiled and added "I promise."

There were a million things she wanted to say but all that came out was "Oh look, we're here." He opened the door for her, of course, then they walked up the front desk.

"Excuse me" Sam said, getting the receptionist's attention "I have an appointment with Ms. Cochran. My name is Sam Evans."

The receptionist led them back to an office where they were greeted by Shelby "Ah Sam, I remember you now" she said as they shook hands. "Rachel said I would be able to put your name with a face as soon as I saw you."

"Thank you, Ms. Cochran and this my friend Nichole Duval. She is a friend of Rachel's as well."

"Please have a seat" she motioned to a couple of chairs as she rounded back behind her desk. "And please call me Shelby."

"Alright Shelby." Sam had thought a lot about this and hoped she would agree to help. "I am this year's Captain of the New Directions and we are preparing for Nationals. I've come here for your advice."

"I'm surprised Will is fine with you talking with me about something like this." Shelby had no idea where this was going but she wouldn't deny that she was interested in finding out.

"He doesn't know. He's been suspended, twice, as our advisor and while I hope that will be a wake-up call for him, I'm not counting on it and need a back-up plan."

"Suspended?"

"Let's just say he has had problems letting go of last year and has made some questionable decisions which have not sat well with our new principal, Sue Sylvester."

"That doesn't surprise me. He's been trying to use the Nationals title you kids won as his ticket out of Lima since the moment he was handed the trophy."

"Yeah, he couldn't get to DC fast enough."

"That's not what I'm talking about." Shelby wondered if she should say anything, but Sam seemed to be a good kid and he deserved the truth. "I probably shouldn't tell you this but Jesse St. James told me that he overheard part of a conversation Will had with Carmen Tibideaux after your win. He asked about a teaching position he heard was opening at NYADA and she shut him down immediately and told him to not waste his time applying. Jesse couldn't hear what her reasoning was, but he said Will was pretty upset when she walked away."

"Great he was already trying to ditch us before the Seniors were even gone."

Nichole could see Sam was upset and before she realized what she was doing, she reached over and gave his hand a squeeze. She was horrified with herself until Sam moved his hand on top of hers and did the same. Now she was a puddle of goo forcing words to come out of her mouth "Tell Shelby your idea, Sam."

"Oh yeah, thanks Nichole. That's only the whole reason we're here and everything. Shelby, I learned from preparing for Regionals that I have to have all the outside help I can get. With what you just told me it sounds like I'll need more than I thought but I do have a plan if necessary. Around Valentine's Day we had a Diva-off with the Warblers and they performed our Control routine from last year's Sectionals."

"I remember that routine. It was really good and did an excellent job of hiding your members that couldn't dance."

"It was, but the Warblers did it 10 times better. My idea is to do what they did only with routines that are complete but weren't chosen for competition…unfortunately, this is another idea I'm borrowing from the Warblers. But, if posh comes to shove and Mr. Schue doesn't pull his head out of his ass, we at least have a place to start. We will just have to make them 10 times better."

"That's a good idea only how do I fit into it?"

"One of the best routines I've ever seen was the video Sugar showed me of the TroubleTones and their Adele mash-up. Would you be willing to help make it a co-ed routine? Not yet because Mr. Schue is still our advisor and will have to be given a chance to redeem himself, but just in case. And just so you know, this year we have a lot of good dancers. No hiding necessary."

"I'd be happy to. That was my favorite TroubleTones number and in hindsight we should have done it at Sectionals. Let me give you my card with my number so you don't have to call Rachel first if it winds up that you need me."

Sam stood and took the card before shaking her hand once again "Thank you, I really appreciate this."

He went to motion to Nichole that they were leaving, but she was already standing next to him. After, a few more minutes of pleasantries and a final goodbye, they found themselves back out on the busy sidewalk. "That went better than I anticipated."

"Sam, you know that even if Jeff and Nick were to talk to me, I wouldn't tell them or any other Warbler your plan."

"Nicole, I believe you or I wouldn't have invited you to come into the office with me" Sam told her which made them both smile. "And while we're talking about believing, I have a question for you. Do you believe in fairy tale magic?"

Blaine & Santana and eventually several others including Bibbi

Blaine and Santana were waiting in an office at Vogue, watching the clock as they waited for the others to arrive. They were also in the middle of a conversation but Blaine could tell something else was bothering his best girl.

"Brit knows that I would cover her college, right? That money's not an object."

"This is Brittany we're talking about. She would never take your money. Plus, she's not made for college and we all know it. Hell, she'd probably be getting ready for her third Senior year if you didn't arrange for all that extra help."

"There's got to be something we can do."

"If there is I can't think of it." Santana dropped her head causing Blaine to join her on the sofa and put his arm around her. She sunk back into him, put her head on his shoulder and began to cry. "I can't be a Lima Loser, Blaine. You got me my internship but I've worked so hard for this chance. I can't give it up…not even for Brittany."

"I know, Sweetie. We'll come up with an answer."

Santana sat up and stared at him like he had lost his mind "When the fuck have I ever been a Sweetie?"

"You are a Sweetie but you spend too much time trying to hide it." Santana cuddled back into his shoulder and he gave her a kiss on top of the head because that was kind of their thing. After determining that the Brittany conversation had run its course, Blaine asked "Are you going to tell me what else is wrong?"

Santana heard her phone ping with a text that read some of those they were waiting for were on their way up. "No, we're about to have company."

"Ok, but I'm not letting this go."

"I know" but Santana prayed he would. Earlier that day she watched Sebastian Skype with Izzy, talking all kinds of cute baby talk. Then Rachel came in and Santana flashed back to when Rachel thought she was pregnant with Brody's baby. She couldn't get it out of her head. Hopefully if Blaine remembered to bring it up again she'd have thought of something else to share. He didn't need to know this.

Fortunately, Sam and Nicole came in and Sam had a new crisis for them to deal with. "Blaine, you and the other Warblers need to talk to Thad. He bought Kitty a car." Sam handed Blaine his phone to show him the picture Kitty sent.

"Tight-wad Harwood bought Kitty a $60,000 Lexus convertible?" Blaine asked but then let out a groan "He's still trying to win her back. Shit!"

While Blaine got on the phone with Kitty to find out what exactly happened, Santana slyly moved toward Nichole, startling her when she said "I didn't know you were coming."

"Sam invited me. Is that a problem?"

"Oh no, this is his sister's birthday gift from Blaine so if he invited you its all good." Santana stopped and listened as Blaine put Kitty on speaker so Sam could here what she was saying. "You know what's going on, right?"

"Yeah. After Sam and Nari decided to stop seeing each other due to distance, Sugar and my brother did the same. Kitty broke-up with Thad as well, but he refuses to accept it."

"You should tell Trouty you dropped out of Harvard and are moving to New York." Nichole went into a panic but Santana just shook her head "All of us girls know, but I sure Sam and the other guys are oblivious."

"How?...I mean how…"

"How did we figure it out? The fact that you have told all of us several times that we were fucking idiots for dumping him was a pretty big clue."

Before Nicole could respond, Sebastian and Rachel came in. It was obvious Rachel was pissed and Sebastian was ignoring her. "How did it go at CallBacks?" Blaine asked Sebastian after handing the phone back to Sam.

"Pretty great. Adam had no problems getting everyone in or us filming a Stress Relief video there. And get this, he runs what might be considered NYADA's Glee Club so I asked him if he would be our neutral moderator for our ground rules meeting and he said yes."

"Neutral my ass" Rachel practically spat out. "He spent the entire time blatantly flirting with you!"

"Kitty, I've got to hang-up now" Sam said as he moved out of the possible line of fire. He could tell by Blaine's body language that he was holding in his inner Wolverine.

"He flirted with you?"

"B, Adam wasn't flirting, he's British. His voice just naturally sounded that way."

"Um, I truly hate to end this little melodrama" Santana said as she held up her phone "But Trouty's parents and the guest of honor are on their way up. Everyone not the big brother or the guy giving this ridiculous birthday present to an 8 year-old, follow me."

Once they left Sam went over and stood next to Blaine "You know you have a concert a week from tomorrow and need to protect your hands. You can't go all Wolverine on that dude's ass."

"I know. I'll have Cam have one of the guys do it if the asshole doesn't back the hell off. What? You're the one that once asked if I was a made man in the Motta Crime Family."

"Blaine, on Tuesday you and I recorded 3 songs in a major music studio. Then I met a bunch of music executives and Katy Perry, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill and that opera guy that sang the Italian song with you. Then this morning I got a lawyer and an agent and found out I'm making $10,000 for helping Santana. I also learned that Abercrombie wants to pay me six figures for taking off my shirt when 2 years ago I was ecstatic if I made $60 for doing the same thing at the strip club. You threatening to put a mob hit out on a guy who flirted with Sebastian is probably the most normal thing that has happened all week."

"Sammy! Blaine!"

The rest of the Evans, minus Stevie, had arrived and Stacie immediately ran from her parents and into Sam's arms. "That is a very pretty dress you're wearing Miss Birthday Girl."

"Sebastian sent it to the hotel. His sister made it."

"Yes, my 8 year-old is wearing Dior" Mary Evans said as she and her husband caught up. "That's pretty surreal."

"Where's Stevie?" Blaine asked.

Sam's dad Dwight smiled and let out a chuckle just thinking about it. "Back at the hotel with Quinn, probably talking her ear off about going to the ball game tomorrow and meeting the Yankees. You know Blaine, this is all pretty over the top."

"Sorry Mr. E but if Cooper calls Sam his other little brother then I get the twins." Sam could see the sadness in Blaine's eyes mentioning Cooper, but it looked like his parents didn't notice."

"Blaine, when are you going to start calling me Dwight?"

"When Sam calls my dad Charles."

"So never. Alright Birthday Girl, are you ready for Blaine to give you your present? Daddy wants to know why we had to come all the way to New York."

Sam went to his parents and Blaine knelt in front of Stacie "Before we do this I have to tell you a story…more like a fairy tale."

"Like Cinderella?"

"Exactly like Cinderella. Stacie, I have a Fairy Godmother. Her name is Bibbi."

She was a little skeptical but told herself that Blaine wouldn't make something like that up. "Her name is Bibbi like Bibbity-Boppity-Boo?"

"Yes and you are the first person knew that. That's because in your heart you believe in fairy tale magic. Now, here is the important part. She wants to meet you but you can't tell anyone that Bibbi's my Fairy Godmother. Only the people here today know who she really is. It has to be that way so she can protect fairy tale magic here in the real world."

Stacie turned back to look at her parents and brother, each giving her a nod so she turned back to Blaine and asked "Mommy, Daddy and Sammie know but not Stevie?"

"Yes. Your mommy, daddy and Sammie have magic too or you wouldn't have it. Stevie is going to find his magic tomorrow but like I said, there are some other people you know here too."

"Is one Sebastian because he's your prince?"

Blaine took her hands and gave her an even bigger smile. This was going even better than he hoped it would. The little girl had just been through so much in the last 3 years that he wanted this to be special. "Yes, Sebastian is here and he is my prince. His family has a castle in a place called France."

Mary and Dwight turned to Sam, each with an expression that said Really? When Sam gave them a nod, they simultaneously mouthed the word Wow!

"And Santana is here because she works for Bibbi and we have a new friend here named Nichole. She comes from a land called Camelot."

Mary and Dwight turned to Sam yet again knowing Camelot meant Kennedy. Again, he gave a nod and again they gave a Wow!

"Oh, I almost forgot Rachel."

When Stacie asked What's Rachel's magic? Blaine drew a complete blank but Sam helped out. "She has a magic voice."

"That's right, she has a magic voice." Blaine let go of her hands and held up his pinky "Are you ready to promise that you won't tell anyone Bibbi's and my secret?" After Stacie gave her pinky promise, Blaine stood up and took her hand. "Now, Bibbi doesn't look like the Fairy Godmother in Cinderella. Here in the real world she has to make people think she's mean in order to protect fairy tale magic, but we know better. And I'm the only one that calls her Bibbi. Everyone else calls her Ms. Wintour."

Stacie held on tightly to Blaine's hand as they walked down a hallway and stopped in front of a lady who was standing in front of two big doors. Blaine was right, she looked mean.

"Are you Stacie Evans?" she asked.

"Yes, Ma'am."

"Oh, you have manners. That's good. Did Charming tell you the rules?"

Blaine leaned down and whispered "She calls me Charming."

"Yes, Ma'am. Blaine told me the rules."

"Good. Behind these doors is where the fairy tale magic is kept. If you break the rules you will not be permitted to see it again. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Ma'am."

Blaine's Godmother opened the doors and Stacie walked into what in her opinion was the best room in the entire world. There were lots of big beautiful dresses that a princess would wear, but in the middle of the room was the most perfect dress she had ever seen. It was exactly like Cinderella's dress but in her size. There was also a pair of sparkly shoes and…

"A tiara, Bibbi? Seriously?"

"Every princess must have one, Charming" she said in that matter of fact tone she was famous for.

"Thank you." Blaine leaned over and gave her a kiss on the cheek "You know I love you."

"Of course" she said and walked away. Yeah, sentimentality wasn't her thing. Blaine went back to the room and smiled as he watched everyone fuss over the birthday girl. And it looked like Sam and Stacie's mom had found…CAKE!

Notes:

Things you learn in research: Anna Wintour's daughter was a producer on Glee: The 3D Concert Movie.

In Chapter 34, Beat asked Blaine if he thought Sam would like meeting Tim McGraw and Faith Hill as a thank you for dealing with Tina after he and Mike let everyone know they were a couple.
