AN: Well, hi.

I'm extremely tired. But I really want to write more of this.

I would like to thank all of you for the WONDERFUL reviews. One of you posted something like I'm a really good writer for a 13 year old and I couldn't respond to you because you weren't signed into an account. But I just wanted to let you know (if you're reading this) that that made me feel REALLY great about myself. :) thank you. ;)

Okay, here we go. Again. Hopefully this chapter will be longer than the last two. I'll try my hardest .

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Glee. Although I got Chris Colfer for Easter and now own him.....just....kidding.

...or am I? ;D (I am. Don't sue me D: )

Kurt drowsily rubbed his eyes and sat up. He swung his legs over the edge of the couch and stood. All the others were already sleepily heading out of the room, following the girls. Kurt tried jogging to catch up with them, but forgot the pants he was wearing were too long for him, and tripped over them, falling flat on his face. Finn (who happened to be at the back of the group) heard the sudden thump and turned around. Seeing Kurt on the ground, he ran over to help him up.

"Are you okay?" Finn asked, as he grabbed Kurt's hand to help him up. Kurt liked the way Finn's hand felt around his own. Warm and comforting. Kurt

"Yeah, I'm fine," Kurt stated, his face flustered with embarrassment. Finn nodded and walked towards the door. Kurt sighed and followed him out the door.

The girls led them through to front door to outside, where it was slightly chilly because of a cool breeze. They led the boys around the house to the backyard.

Rachel's yard was surrounded by woods. The girls motioned for the boys to continue following them into the dark forest. They relunctingly followed the females to a muddy, dark, medium-sized lake.

"It smells awful," Finn said, wrinkling his nose in digust.

"Get used to it. Because for the next challenge, you're going to be swimming in it," Rachel said. Kurt practically stopped breathing for a second. Swimming? In THAT? Surely all the mud and diseases in there would be bad for his skin.

"What about Artie?" Mike asked.

"I don't mind. I'll be fine sitting out. I wouldn't want to swim in that anyways," Artie replied, rolling himself off to the side.

"So what are the exact rules for this challenge?" Puck questioned.

"I'm going to take this and..." Rachel held up a pearl necklace and then carefully broke the pearls apart. She continued, "I will throw these pearls into different areas the bottom of the lake. Each one of you are to gather one of them and bring them back."

Kurt seriously questioned himself if he should do this. It would surely be absolutely digusting. And what if there were slimy fish in there? He shuddered at the thought. Rachel scattered the pearls into the lake and said for the boys to go whenever they were ready.

Finn looked very pale and worried. The rest of the boys high-fived each other, threw off their shirts, and dived in.

"F-Finn?" Kurt stuttered, his voice also cracking a bit, "Are you okay? Y-You don't have to do it, you know."

Finn turned towards him. "I'm fine," he said, taking off his shirt. Kurt watched him as he dived into the lake.

"For Finn," Kurt thought. He took a deep breath and was about to jump in when he suddenly felt someone pull him back by his shirt and turn him around.

"Don't think your going in there with those clothes on. My dad will kill me if he sees dirt and grime all over his shirt," Rachel placed her hands on her hips. Kurt sighed.

"Fine. Have it your way, princess." Kurt took the shirt off and slammed into Rachel's waiting hand. He turned back around, but Rachel tapped him on the shoulder. Kurt flipped around.

"What do you WANT?!" Kurt spat at her, annoyed. Rachel held out a hand.

"I'm going to need the pants too."

The girls behind Rachel giggled and Kurt's face burned. He glared at Rachel, and quickly turned around and jumped into the lake before she could stop him. He heard a faint, muffled, "KURT HUMMEL!" from Rachel as he swam towards the bottom of the lake.

Now to find a pearl. Kurt squinted his eyes open. Darkness. Muddy darkness. Digusting muddy darkness. He looked down to see something shiny in the distance. He swam towards it, trying not to think of how revolting this task was.

Then, Kurt finally reached the pearl. He grabbed it and attempted to swim back towards the surface. But something tugged on his leg. Kurt looked down to see a weed growing from the bottom of the lake wound tightly around his ankle. He leaned down and tried to get it off. It wouldn't budge. It was too tight. Kurt started to panic. He was running out of air. Fast.

His body instinctively made him open his mouth, trying to get oxygen. Water flowed into the opening. Choking him. Drowning him.

Kurt felt pain and insane dizziness. His head pounded.

Everything turned to black...
