Blaine wakes up from his sleep as the book falls to the floor, but what really startles him is that he hears footsteps around the house. He knows someone else is in the house. "Puck?" he gets knocked to the ground and turned over as he sees one of his best friends snarling at him. "Tina?"
"Hi," says Tina in a sultry voice.
"What are you doing here?"
"How could you even me ask that?"
Blaine gives Tina the biggest hug. "I missed you."
"Happy Birthday."

"I don't know okay? If a freak shot at me with a wooden bullet I'd bail in under 60 and why is a news reporter hunting vampires?" asks Tina after Blaine gave her a full disclosure.
"I don't know. I don't know who knows about us," replies Blaine. "But hey, do me a favor, while you're here, please stay out of trouble."
"Uhhgg why stay? I'm headed to New York this weekend. Bon Jovi, in the Garden; 'Wanted: Dead or Alive.' It's our theme song!"
"Hey, do you think he'll actually remember us? I mean it was a pretty crazy night."
"We can make him remember us," says Tina in her sultry voice again. "Come on, let's go! I mean, what's keeping you here?"
"I told you, his name is Kurt."
"Well let's hope he's better than the last guy you got all sprung over," says Tina in a teasing voice as she holds up Kristian's photo.
"You didn't even know Kristian."
"And if I did, I'd kick his ass! Little bitch. Speaking of, where's Puck?"
"Inflicting misery somewhere."
"Uh-huh."
"Are you gonna be okay here alone? I got something to take care of."
"Well it's not exactly like I can go anywhere," she says pointing to the window. "You and Puck are the only ones with these nifty little daylight rings. I have mood ring from '75, trade ya?"
"It doesn't work that way and you know it," says Blaine as he was walking out of his room. "Hey Queen T?"
"Yeah?"
"I'm really glad that you came here."
"Okay, what are we doing for your birthday? It's not every day that someone turns 162 years old!"
Blaine groans. "Really?"
"Oh yeah."

Finn, Sam, Blaine, and Kurt all sat in Sheriff Fabray's office as she questioned each one of them.
"So, you have no idea what has happened to Rachel Berry? Why she has suddenly left town?" asks Sheriff Fabray.
"She didn't say anything," says Finn.
"Did she tell her brother where she was going?"
"No, she didn't say anything to me," says Sam.
"Well is there anyone I can talk to who may know where Rachel is?"
"Blaine Anderson may know," says Sam.
"Well what was he doing there?"
"I was trying to help her. I knew that Kurt was worried about his brother and Finn was dating Rachel and she had an anxiety problem," says Blaine.
"So, you got involved because Kurt asked you to?"
"Yes, I asked Blaine to help. I thought that by helping Rachel, Blaine was helping my brother," says Kurt.
"What was her behavior like those last couple of days?"
"Up and down. Very sketchy like she was told that she could never be Fannie Brice on Broadway," said Sam.
"Any signs of aggression or violence?"
"Not that I know of," says Finn.
"No," says Blaine.
"No," says Kurt.
"So, you believe that Rachel has left town?"
"Yes," says Sam.
"Yes," says Blaine.
"Yes," says Kurt.
"I'll miss her but I think it's for the best," says Finn.
Blaine waits for Kurt to come out of the Police station. "I'll see you guys at the car," Kurt tells Finn and Emma when he sees Blaine on the bottom of the steps.
"Okay," replies Emma.
"You okay?" asks Blaine.
"I don't think the Sheriff suspected anything. All Finn knew was what Puck made him know."
"Thank you."
"I can't do this Blaine. Every time I look at Sam or Finn I know that Rachel is never gonna come back."
"Do you want to go somewhere and talk about it?"
"No, Blaine you have to stay away from me."

Tina was asleep in the boarding house. As she began to stir, she woke up next to Puck. She gasps. "UHG," says Tina as she wakes up and sees Puck.
"Hello Tina, what an unexpected surprise."
Tina snorts. "An unexpected surprise? I think the wrong brother went back to school."
"So how long are you here for?"
"Just for Blaine's B-Day."
Puck pouts. "Aww. You mean you didn't come all this way to see me?"
"That's it Puck, all this time I've finally figured out that eternity is nothing without you."
"Why are you so mean to me?"
"Um, have you met you? You're not a nice person."
"So, teach me to be good," says Puck as he puts his hand on Tina's thigh.
Tina grabs his throat and shows Puck who's boss. "I'm older and that means I'm stronger."
"Sorry," says Puck as he's choking.
"Do not ruin my time with Blaine. Cause I'll hurt you. You know I can do that," whispers Tina menacingly. She lets go of his neck and leaves Puck to recover.

"You leavin'?" asks Grams as she sees Mercedes packing her bags.
"Dad doesn't like it when I stay over here too much," replies Mercedes.
"Because he misses you or because he doesn't trust me? Your father's problem is he lacks imagination. He thinks I fill your head with my witchy ju-ju."
"He's right."
"He's always right, that's his other problem." Grams sees Mercedes packing up the necklace.
"You need to start wearing that."
"I have to give it back to Quinn, it doesn't belong to me."
"Yes, it does. It was your ancestor's and now it's yours."
"If it's so special why don't you wear it?"
"It didn't find me, it found you. It protected you. A witch's talisman is a powerful tool. Don't be givin' that back to anybody."
Mercedes sighs. "I just wish it was prettier."

"You're wallowing," says Emma as she sits down on the couch next to Kurt.
"So are you."
"My wallow is legitimate, I was dumped."
"Yeah well, Logan's a jerk."
"You didn't get a brush off email saying, 'I'm leaving town, see ya'."
"Want to keep it down over there?" asks Finn impatiently.
"Why? What are you doing?" asks Emma.
"Homework," answers Finn.
"Since when do you do homework?" asks a very confused Kurt.
"I gotta finish this. I'm way behind and I have quiz tomorrow so…" says Finn as he tried to explain himself.
"What do you think? Alien?" Kurt asks Emma.
"Some sort of replica," answers Emma.
"He can hear you," says an annoyed Finn.

"You up?" asks Mercedes as she walks into Kurt's room the next morning.
"No," replies Kurt as he tries to hide under the covers.
Mercedes comes in anyways and snatches the covers off. "Why haven't you called me back?"
"I'm sorry."
"Are you gonna stay in there forever?"
"Yup."
Mercedes sighs. "Move over," says Mercedes. She then climbs into bed next to Kurt. "I'm officially worried. What's going on?"
"I'm tired of thinking, talking…"
"Can I get a cheat-sheet version so I can be helpful?"
"Blaine and I broke up."
"I'm so sorry. Are you okay?" Kurt gives her a look. "Right, stupid question. I know I've been kinda MIA when you needed me the most. I suck."
"You know what'll make it up to me? Take my mind off it."
"Just remember you asked for it." Mercy closes the window and gets a pair of scissors to cut up Kurt's pillow, which he protests, but she reassures him that it's worth it. "I need to swear you to secrecy."
"It's kinda a bad week for that."
"Swear because I'm not supposed to be showing you this."
"Okay I swear."
Mercedes breathes deeply. "Okay you ready?"
"Yeah."
Mercy uses her magic to make the feathers do anything she wants. She makes them float, fly around the room, and even used her eyes to move them. "That's what I've been up to. I'm a witch."
Kurt smiles brightly. "Heh, I believe you."

Quinn runs into Puck on the street and tries to dodge him, but he's relentless. "Look dungeon boy, I'm done being your little slave girl. You seriously hurt me and you'll be damned if you think…" Her sentence goes unfinished because Puck uses his compulsion on her. "Oh, my God! Where have you been? It's really good to see you."
"Much better! You want to throw a party at Breadstix?"
"Why don't you do it?"
"Because then Blaine and his BFF won't come. Invite everyone, a huge crowd."
"And why am I having this party?"
"Because you are helping me solve this town's problem of vampires. And I want my crystal back."
"Oh, but Mercy has it."
"I know that. Get it from her."

Tina and Blaine sit on Blaine's bed and Blaine just told her all about Kurt. "So, this Kurt guy, he'll come around. I'm sure of it." She gets in his face. "Have you had sex yet?" asks a nosy Tina.
"No," says Blaine even though he didn't want to answer that question.
"Sex always works! You'll rock his world so hard with your vamp sex."
"See this isn't about sex or compulsion or any of our other tricks. It's about being with him, knowing that there's someone out there who won't judge you. When I was with him, the world fell away, but now he hates me because of who I am. And even after all that, I still love him and somebody else does too."
"Wow that sounded awfully mature and grown up."
"Well I'm not getting any younger."
"Ha-ha. So, what are we doing tonight?"
"Funny you should ask," says Puck as he waltzes in.
"Well I wasn't asking you," says Tina snidely.
"There's a party at Breadstix," says Puck, ignoring her.
"Yeah, I don't want a birthday party," says Blaine.
"Well it's not for you; it's a party-party. No one's gonna know it's your birthday. Quinn's, throwing it."
"Puck, stay away from Quinn."
"We're friends, it's cool. Besides, we need to blend."
"I wonder why Puck."
"Let's go. Please?" asks Tina.
Blaine relents and nods his head.

"Can you believe it? I mean, just yesterday we were joking about it and today I'm moving feathers with my mind," says Mercedes.
"I'm so happy for you Merce," replies Kurt
"Thank you, but babe, you gotta get out of this funk."
"Easy for you to say."
"Hun, I get it, breaking up with someone is hard, but you can't wallow and not shower."
"That's just it. I can't get over it, because…I think I love him."
"Then here's what you need to do, go over there and tell him that you love him."
"I can't, I'm too scared."
"Kurt Elizabeth Hummel, in the 16 years that I've known you, I've never pegged you a scaredy cat."
"Maybe you're right Mercy."
"I know I am. So, go over there and get back your man."
"Just one question…do I really stink?"
"Hun, just go shower."
NKB~NKB~NKB~NKB~NKB
"I'm almost ready!" exclaims Tina as she got out of the shower with a towel wrapped around her.
"I still can't believe we're going to this," replies Blaine.
"Well believe it. It's not like I'm telling you to go outside without your ring."
"But it's a party that Puck wants us to go to."
"Who cares? I mean, what can he possibly do in a crowded restaurant?"
"He knows how to keep a low profile, believe me."
"Okay. So, he'll behave. Come on, one day a year I get to have you."
"It's my birthday."
"Unh-uhn. It's my day. Now go get ready," says Tina as she slaps Blaine on the ass. Just then, Kurt arrives and works up the courage to go to the door. "It's open!" yells Tina. She gasps. "Oh, my God! How'd uhh…w- who?"
"I'm Kurt and who are you?"
"Tina, friend of Blaine's."
"Is he here?"
"He's in the shower. Um…do you want to wait?"
"No."
"I'll tell him you stopped by."
"No that's okay." Tina heads back upstairs as Kurt leaves.
"Are you out of your fucking mind?!" asks Tina as she sees Blaine getting ready.
"What are you talking about?"
"I just met Kurt and you have a lot of explaining to do!"
