I totally wanted to finish and get this up last night but I was utterly exhausted and ended up writing a lot more stuff the next day for this chapter. That being said, this is the longest chapter I've ever written for any of my stories, and that was before my always present A/N. I don't really have a lot to say. A few quick thank you to my wonderful reviewers. You guys are beautiful and amazing and I love you :) Now, ENJOY!

After having her little chat with Kurt, Nelly found herself walking across the playground to meet Chris who was also walking towards her. They were about five feet apart when two smiling faces popped in front of Nelly, causing her to stumble back and stifle a scream.

"Nelly, let's go on the swings," Jeff urged, practically bouncing on the spot.

"I'll push you," Nick smiled, vibrating as well.

"No, I will."

"No, me."

"Agent 6 should do it!"

"Agent 3 is better!"

"Guys!" Nelly shrieked. Her eyes were closed tight out of frustration and her hands were balled by her sides.

"Yes?" they said in unison with a smile and all eyes on her.

Nelly took a few soothing breathes and finally relaxed before putting a hand on each of their shoulders. "Look, I'm the type of person who will be completely honest with someone, even if it stings a little to hear the truth. I have to be that person right now, okay?" They nodded. "Okay, here it goes." She paused and took a deep breath. "You guys are really nice but way too all over the place for me. I need someone who is more laid back and that's just not you, not like I want you guys to change at all. It's not that I don't like you guys, in fact you remind me a lot of my cousins, I just can't see you guys as more than friends. Besides, even if I did, there's no way I would ever be able to choose between you two. I'm really sorry. Do you think we could possibly be friends?"

Jeff and Nick looked at each other, having a silent conversation before nodding once and facing Nelly again. "We'd love to be friends," they replied with a smile. They pulled her in for a hug and Nelly smiled, hugging them back tightly. They pulled away for a quick second to kiss each of her cheeks, causing her to smile and giggle.

"Good." She separated herself from them, noticing Chris walking away with his hands in his pockets. "I'll catch you guys later." She ran after Chris, leaving Three Six Mafia behind. "Chris, wait up!" He stopped walking but didn't turn around. Seeing he wasn't going to turn, she walked around to stand in front of him. "Why'd you leave?"

"You looked busy," he answered, looking anywhere but at her.

"I was telling them I wasn't interested," Nelly shrugged. "I'm actually interested in someone else."

Chris's eyes focused on her. "You are?"

Nelly smiled. "Yeah, I am. He's pretty cute too. Tall, tan, brown hair. He's got a really great smile too."

"It's Zack isn't it?" he joked. "That bastard." Nelly giggled before shaking her head. A soft smile graced her lips as she reached up, tracing her fingers along the edge of his face. He leaned into her touch, his eyes closed and mouth turned into a half smile, and sighed. "I want to do this right," he whispered, brushing some stray hairs behind her ear and cupping her face in his palm. "Let me take you out Friday night."

"Okay," Nelly nodded, smiling. "I'd like that."

Chris's smile grew, his hand moving to run through her hair. Nelly's eyes stayed locked on his as he slowly leaned in, lifting her chin and pressing his lips gently to hers. She wrapped her hands around his neck, playing with the soft chocolate hair at the nape of his neck. She inhaled a slow, deep breath through her nose, instantly falling in love with the sheer aroma that was just Chris. Although it only lasted a few moments, the passion in that one kiss sent chills through both of their bodies. When they separated, huge gins lay on their faces, their eyes searching the others and their hearts fluttering. To some the kiss could be seen as premature, but Nelly and Chris felt something indescribable between them, something that seemed to vibrate within them when they were in close proximity of each other, something telling them that this was just the beginning of something wonderful.

They were pulled from their thoughts by Wes, calling them to return to the Warbler-Mobile. Chris ran his hand down Nelly's arm until it tangled with hers. They smiled at each other before walking to the bus. Behind them, Three Six Mafia looked on with sadness.

"Agent 3?"

"Yes Agent 6?"

"Love sucks."

"Roger that." Nick paused, watching the couple in front of them. "At least she's happy."

"I guess you're right," Jeff agreed. He threw his arm around his best friend's shoulders and started walking. "Hey, maybe she can introduce us to some of her friends." They chuckled and ran onto the bus.

Inside the convenience store, Thad, Trent, and Mercedes were grabbing some snacks for Mercedes and the rest of the girls' ride back to Lima. The trio all walked to the front dejectedly when they found the store did not sell tots (the chocolate diva had learned the two boys loved the potato bites almost as much as she did). After purchasing the numerous bags off chips, candy, and soda, Thad noticed the ice cream counter and offered to pay. They walked to the counter and began trying to find a flavor.

Mercedes was having a lot of trouble picking what kind of ice cream she wanted. She really liked Death by Chocolate, but she didn't know if that would be too ironic. She also didn't want to get Vanilla Bean, just because it might draw too much attention to her rapidly growing crush on Trent. Finally, she decided to keep it safe and chose Mint Chocolate Chip. So what if she had been thinking about kissing Trent when she picked it? It's no big deal.

Mercedes blushed when Trent ordered Death by Chocolate after her and she wondered if it had the same connotation as if she had ordered Vanilla Bean. Being her, she was probably reading too deeply into things. It's a good ice cream flavor, so there may not be a hidden meaning behind his choosing of that flavor. Thad picked Mocha Chip and headed back to the park with the groceries in his hands, saying he was going to join Flint and Zack's basketball game. Mercedes and Trent, now alone, sat out on a bench in front of the store. A comfortable silence settled over the two as they ate their ice cream. After a while, Mercedes' curiosity got the best of her.

"What made you pick that flavor?"

Trent swallowed the bit of ice cream in his mouth and turned to her. "I really like chocolate." He smiled and brushed away some ice cream from the corner of her mouth with his thumb. "And not just with ice cream," he clarified with a wink.

Mercedes gulped and giggled, soon blushing under the intensity of Trent's stare. She could have sworn she saw his head leaning down to hers when a voice shattered the moment,

"Alright, Warblers!" Wes called from the parking lot. "Everybody back on the bus if we want the girls to get home at a reasonable hour." Slowly and reluctantly, the teens began to head toward the bus.

"Sit with me?" Trent asked hopefully, standing and offering his arm.

"Of course," Mercedes replied, rising and weaving her arm through his. They walked with a smile on each of their faces, chatting away about the last season of So You Think You Can Dance?. When they reached the bus, they were one of the last groups there so they quickly climbed on. They soon found Thad, who stood and allowed them to slide in before him. Trent sat first and settled before motioning for Mercedes to sit on his lap. Sitting down, she couldn't hide the blush when she felt his arms wrap around her to keep her secure. She smiled and nestled her body against him. Once she saw Kurt and Blaine take their seats, Wes stood to take attendance. As people responded to their names being called, Mercedes noticed some seat changes. A couple rows back, Nelly was sitting on Chris's lap in the same manner as Mercedes was on Trent. The tall boy was whispering something in the blonde's ear that made her giggle and blush. Beside them was Zack who was talking to his brother Flint across the aisle. Mercedes stretched her neck and noticed, next to Flint, was Ethan. She could barely see him smiling behind Rachel as the petite songstress jabbered on about something. When Wes finally finished roll call, the bus began to move. All of a sudden, at the front of the bus, Blaine stood up.

"Guys, I almost forgot!" He rummaged through one of the overhead compartments and pulled out his guitar. "Any requests?"

"You girls got anything else for us?" David chuckled from the front, earning some nods and catcalls.

"Nah, we wanna hear what you prep boys got," Mercedes replied, Nelly and Rachel nodding with her.

"Ethan, Trent, follow my lead," Chris shouted, a smile growing on his face. "Blaine, play that song you wrote for that Jimmy guy you liked freshman year. You know the one you adapted when you met K-"

"OKAY!" Blaine interrupted, blushing furiously. "Chris, I know the song." He strummed a few notes before Chris started singing, with Ethan taking the second verse, and Trent following after.

You're tall and fun and skinny,

You're really, really pretty,

Nelly.

I'm the Mickey to your Minnie,

You're the Tigger to my Winnie,

Rachy.

I wanna take you to the city,

Gonna take you out to dinny,

'Cedes.

You're cuter than a guinea pig.

Wanna take you up to Winnipeg,

THAT'S in Canada!

Nelly, Rachy, 'Cedes

"Alright, alright," Blaine shouted as he stopped playing, the rest of the Warblers laughing.

Rachel, Nelly, and Mercedes all giggled and blushed. "Come on guys, sing a real song," Rachel insisted.

"Hey, I wrote that!" Blaine defended.

"Calm down curly, you know what she meant," Mercedes retorted. Blaine frowned and slumped a little in his seat, eliciting more laughter.

"I've got the perfect song," _ stated from his seat. He whispered something to _ and the message was sent all the way to Blaine, who smiled and started to play. Ethan started it off, vocalizing a bit before taking the first verse.

I'm no Superman.

I can't take your hand

And fly you anywhere you wanna go, yeah.

I can't read your mind

Like a billboard sign

And tell you everything you wanna hear, but

I'll be your hero.

'Cause I, I can be everything you need

If you're the one for me, like gravity

I'll be unstoppable

I, yeah I believe in destiny

I may be an ordinary guy with heart and soul

But if you're the one for me

Then I'll be your hero

Oh I'll be your hero yeah

I'll be your hero

So incredible, some kind of miracle

That when it's meant to be

I'll become a hero oh

So I'll wait, wait, wait, wait for you

Yeah I'll be your hero yeah

'Cause I, I can be everything you need

If you're the one for me, like gravity

I'll be unstoppable

I, yeah I believe in destiny

I may be an ordinary guy with heart and soul

But if you're the one for me

I'll be your hero

Yeah, yeah I'll be your hero

Yeah, I'll be your hero

Hero

Everybody started applauding, cheering for the three guys who sang. The three girls smiled brightly and clapped too. Rachel laid her head on Ethan's shoulder, shyly kissing his cheek which unfortunately for her didn't go by unnoticed. Many of the surrounding boys whistled and teased, making Rachel and Ethan blush. Nelly was not as shy and plainly kissed Chris, resulting in an even greater uproar. Chris simply held her close and ignored his friends, cherishing this time with Nelly. The last diva didn't quite know how to respond. Obviously her two friends had taken that step with their chosen Warblers while she had not. Instead of planting one on Trent like she really wanted to, she whispered a soft 'thank you' into his ear and laid her head against him. The boy was clearly satisfied, smiling and wrapping his arms tighter around the girl on his lap. The rest of the trip was uneventful and soon the Warbler-Mobile pulled into the Dalton parking lot. Everyone filed off of the bus and waited at the door for their three new friends to exit. Rachel, Mercedes, and Nelly hugged each and every Warbler, thanking them for a wonderful day and promising to visit again soon. Eventually it was just the divas and their dudes.

Blaine stepped forward and hugged them. "I expect to hear all the details from these numbskulls, but if you guys want to talk about it, don't be afraid to call." He smiled when they promised they would and headed to the dorms.

When the three unofficial couples looked at Kurt, he quickly made some excuse and ran to his room, reminding the girls to call him when they got home. Chris took Nelly's hand and led her over to a little pond on the grounds. Mercedes was pulled away by Trent, leaving Ethan and Rachel alone by the bus.

Ethan pulled her in for a hug, holding his arms around her shoulders, and Rachel wrapped her arms around his middle, laying her head against his chest. "I don't want this day to end," she muttered into his chest.

"Me neither," he replied, running his hand through her hair. "I'm so glad you came to visit Kurt."

"I am as well. It was a much more advantageous trip than it was initially planned to be." Ethan smiled. One thing he had learned today was that Rachel made a habit of turning any simple sentence into something elaborately said. The odd thing is that was one of his favorite parts about her. "Do you still want to take me out to dinner on Friday night?" she inquired, unsure.

Ethan gently pulled Rachel away, looking directly in her beautifully crazy, brown eyes. "Of course I do." She smiled and stood up on her toes to peck his lips sweetly. "But until then," he said, pulling out a business card, "I expect you to text me whenever you feel like it." Rachel looked down at the card and smiled when she read, 'Ethan Baker. Math and French Tutor. Piano Teacher. Vocal Coach.' off of the little white card. She nodded, silently promising to text him, and quickly hugged and kissed him again when she saw Mercedes and Trent walking over with giant smiles on their faces.

Trent had pulled Mercedes over to a bench in front of a fountain. They sat down next to each other and Trent pulled Mercedes to his side. After a few moments of silence, she stood up.

"I should probably head back," she stated with a frown.

"Wait," he pleaded, standing in front of her. "There's something I've wanted to do all day."

"What are you-" a pair of lips silenced her. Trent gently grasped her face as he kissed her urgently. Mercedes' hands latched onto his plaid shirt, aching to feel him closer. His thumb brushed her cheek, suddenly transforming the kiss from passionate to intimate. As they pulled away, Mercedes' heart fluttered. Trent smiled and brushed his fingers over her hair.

"Sorry that took so long," he apologized.

"You are so forgiven," she replied, voice breathy.

He chuckled and kissed her forehead. "What are you doing Friday night?"

"Nothing, why?"

"Would you like to go on a date with me?" he asked, his smile growing.

"I would love to." She hugged him tightly, pressing a quick peck on his lips.

Trent sighed happily, his arms wrapped around her. "Come on, let's get you back." They started to walk back before Mercedes stopped them.

"Wait," she ordered. She pulled a pen out of her purse and grabbed his hand. Turning it palm up, she wrote down her number, kissing the middle of his hand before releasing it. "You better text me twinkle toes."

"I will," Trent chuckled. He took her hand in his, making sure his other one stayed untouched until he got his phone in his room, and walked her back to the bus. He pecked her cheek when Ethan came walking towards them. "I'll see you Friday," he promised, squeezing her hand.

"Okay," she said. "Bye Ethan."

"Catch you later Mercedes," he responded. The two boys headed into the dorms, leaving the two girls by the bus.

"Where's Nelly?" Mercedes asked while approaching.

"I haven't the slightest idea," Rachel replied. "Nelly! Time to go!"

The pond Chris had pulled Nelly to was a small koi pond with lily pads floating in one corner and an artificial waterfall in another. It truly was one of the most beautiful sites on the grounds.

"I had an amazing day," Nelly said, wishing it never had to end.

"I did too," Chris responded, brushing his thumb along her knuckles. "I'll come pick you up at seven on Friday, okay?" Nelly nodded, keeping her eyes on the ground. "Hey," he lifted her chin. "You okay?"

"Yeah," she assured. "Just going to be a long three days."

Chris chuckled. "I know. Here, let me see your phone." She pulled it out of her pocket and handed it to him. He played around with it for a few moments before giving it back to her. A sound came from his pocket soon after. He pulled out his phone and pressed a few buttons before returning it to his pocket. "There. Now you have my number and I have yours. We can text whenever we want." Nelly smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing him gently. He quickly responded, wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her flush against him. Only when they started hearing Nelly's name being called did they separate. "I should get you back." Nelly nodded and the pair walked hand in hand back to the bus. When they were a few yards away, she kissed him again deeply before he pecked her forehead and walked away with a quick wave to Rachel and Mercedes.

The three girls headed to Nelly's car with Mercedes' groceries in hand and big smiles on their faces. They spent the car ride filling each other in on the events of the day, giggling and teasing each other playfully. After dropping Mercedes and Rachel off, Nelly pulled into her driveway and went up to her room to change her Facebook status. She logged in to find sixteen new friend requests. She smiled as she added all of the Warblers, her smile growing significantly when she added Chris Hall. After changing her status to 'had an amazing day with some wonderful boys', she noticed she had a wall post from Chris. She clicked her profile and smiled with she read 'I miss you already. Three Six Mafia is torturing Ethan, Trent, and I and Kurt wants me to remind you to call him. See you Friday beautiful'. Most of the Warblers had already liked it, as well as Rachel and Mercedes. With this bit of happiness, Nelly shut off her laptop and headed downstairs for dinner.

An hour away in Carmel, Ohio, a boy looked at his computer screen, a Facebook profile of a smiling blonde hugging a large black girl, a petite brunette, and an angelic boy. He glared at a wall post by some boy. "Looks like I have to make a little visit to Lima," he said to himself.

"Jason! Time for dinner!"

"Coming!" He closed his laptop and walked out of his room.

*hides behind laptop* Please don't hurt me for that cliffy :P I had to put some drama into this incredibly fluffy fic. Um, so I didn't do this in my last couple chapters, so I have to do it now. Disclaimer: I do not own Glee, Ryan Murphy does. I do not own Ginny's Song, Darren Criss does (bless his soul). I do not own Hero, Sterling Knight does. For Chapter Two: "Do You Wanna Touch?", I do not own Do You Wanna Touch, Gwenyth Paltrow and the cast of Glee does. The only thing I do own is the storyline, Nelly, and my love for all things Glee, StarKid, and Warblers :)

PLEASE REVIEW! LOVE YOU ALL!
