Mercedes prayed that yesterday had been a dream. She wished that it was a cruel joke. But the next day, sure enough, a very worried blond approached Mercedes. "Hey Cede. You ok? You kind of lost it yesterday."

"I'm fine." Mercedes said, swallowing a lump in her throat. She opened her mouth, about to ask something when a familiar/unfamiliar voice interjected.

Mercedes watched as Finn walked up to Chloe saying, "Hey Chloe, Cedes. What's up?" He gave a slightly less goofy grin then he normally did. Chloe, in the meanwhile, giggled. GIGGLED.

"Not much, Finn. Cede just went insane." She blushed, giggled again, and did that thing with her eyelashes that was supposed to be cute. Finn might have liked it, but it just made Mercedes sick. Where was Kurt when you need him?

"Good for her," Finn seemed to be trying to ignore Mercedes as best as he could. Whatever focus he had was on Chloe. "So, Quinn's been kind of ignoring me lately. If this thing falls flat on me, will you help me up?"

Chloe let out a noise that resembled the 'Fan-Girl Squeal'. Mercedes just rolled her eyes. "Y-"

"Hey Finn!" Mercedes snapped to get the jocks attention for a few seconds. "Quinn left you. She's found someone else. Go talk to her."
"What?" Finn asked, stupidity leaking off him in waves. "Thanks for the heads up Cede. Chloe, you'll have to get back to me with your answer. See yah."

Chloe's face had fallen. "Why did you do that?" she said, anger in her controlled voice.

Mercedes protested, "Come on girl! He was playing you like a violin! Or drums."

"But he's a hot drummer," Chloe said dreamily.

"Come on. Let's get to class," Mercedes said with a sigh.

(I tried to make Finn the jerk he is in the fic, but I don't know if he turned out jerky enough. So he's popular, and a jerk. Great combo right?)

Mercedes lounged on the bleachers, watching the Cheerios' practice. She couldn't go to Glee, so this would have to do. She heard a thump, and the sound of shoes on the metal. Chloe plopped down next to her. "What's going on Cedes? I'm here for you. I care. You've been off all day and I want to know why." For the first time, Chloe was both honest, and quiet.

"It's Kurt."

"Oh. Ok. Tell me about him. You said he was… cool. I want to know why he's so important."

"You."
"What?"

"Why you're so important."

"Ok Cedes! I don't know why you insist I'm Kurt, but I know that I am not. But if it makes you feel better, you can pretend I am. For now." At her friends silence she said. "Pretend I'm the guidance counselor. Pretend I'm Mrs. Pillsbury."

Mercedes cast Chloe a dark look, but smiled. "We met in Glee. (I'm assuming that was the first time.) Well, we didn't meet in Glee, I had seen you around school and stuff, but we first knew each other in Glee. We became friends, and I did… things. Stupid things that were supposed to impress you. New clothes. Complements. And they did, sort of. Just not the way I wanted them to. Then Glee did this, Car Wash or something. We were washing your car, and I asked you if you wanted to make it official. You know, like dating official." Mercedes glanced at Chloe, who was listening patently. "You said some things, and we all messed up because, I ended up throwing a rock through your window."

Chloe laughed. "You didn't!"

"Yes I did. Afterwards I felt really guilty, so I found you afterwards by your locker. We were alone, so I offered to pay for the damage. You said it didn't matter, because your dad had taken the car away. Then you told me you were gay. We've been friends ever since."

Mercedes looked at Chloe, who was staring at her, amazed. "You believe me, right?" she asked hopefully.

Chloe shook her head. "I don't know. That seems like a vivid dream, or-"

"The truth?"

"Maybe. Yeah. I think so. So I think you should go home, get some rest, and try and forget all about Kurt. I'm here now, and he's not."
"You don't understand! You just can't forget Kurt!" Mercedes turned and stormed away from the bleachers, a real Rachel Berry worthy walk out.

"Cede! Wait!" Chloe called.

Mercedes kept walking.

Mercedes lounged on her bed, trying to do her math homework when the phone rang. Glad to have a distraction, she grabbed it.

Chloe.

But at this point, she didn't really care.

"Hey Chloe." She answered.

"Mercedes?"

"Yes."

"Why do I have boobs?"

Mercedes sat up. "Kurt?" she barely dared to hope.

"Were you expecting someone else?"

A/N. I love a good cliffy. There's going to be like, 4-6 more chapters before I end this.

Explanation: There are two worlds, one where Kurt's a boy and one where he's a girl. Kurt and Chloe, Chloe and Kurt. Got that? Well in Kurt's world, everything is 'normal' to us. The one way to tell who's from each world is simple. Mercedes is called Mercedes in the 'normal' universe and Cede or Cedes in the non normal one. Other than that, it's just a matter of personality. For instance, not normal Finn is stupid, not naïve like normal Finn. And he's a popular jerk.
