LOVE WILL FIND A WAY…
I'm Back with another chapter and a few confessions, confession 1: I've got a loose outline for what I want the general plot to be I just am sucking as to getting from plot A to B to C and intermingling other storylines besides Kristinas in there and B) I don't remember if I gave discriptions for how Nate and Cassie look but as of now I'm RetConing myself and casting my OC's with Joey Richter and Lauren Lopez respectively (yea…Ron and Draco what of it….) anyway I hope you are all still enjoying my madness…. Fell free to drop me a line to review or to just say hi… still don't own the fandoms just like I said… the crazy.

it had been a few days since Kristina's blissful afternoon of movie watching with Artie and she knew that it was high time to put her master plan into motion if it were meant to be.
Sitting now on Kurt's couch that looked far to expencive to be baught on the buget of two college boys Kristina began to wonder, would her brother like this idea? After all Kurt did have a flair for the dramtic but at the same time this was Mercedes's wedding and she wouldn't be surprised if he had this whole storybook fairytaile sinario all planded out in explicit detail.
"So," Kurt said as he re-entered the living room with a pitcher of iced tea and two glasses, "what brings you to my humble abode."
"Can't a girl visit her brother."
"Well, yea, I guess so."
"You GUESS so Kurt."
"I mean lets be honest, we mostly hang out at your place in New Haven or back home in Lima, why mess with a good thing."
"So, you resent my company."
"I didn't mean it like that."
Kristina just nodded taking a sip of her tea.
"Anyway, if you must have a reason for my presence I came to talk wedding to you."
"Well, I'd go the elopement route unless you plan on telling everyone that you and Artie have rekindled your unsnuffable flaime and if you do plan on going public I'd sugest springtime, a garden setting, lots of pink roses…."
Kristina swore that Kurt didn't even stop to take a breath as she simply shook her head.
"I wasn't refering to my wedding but speaking of going public with my relationship….well…"
"Well…"
"So, picture this…Mike and Mercedes's wedding, a lavish Masqurade ball."
Kurt listened to Kristina explain in explicet detail her idea for the event while a few thoughts ran through Kurt's head. The first being that just because Artie was in a mask he'd still be recognizable in his chair, the second being that he'd been waiting for an excuse to go all Extreme Makeover Mausoleum Edition with Windermere, and third…
"so, what do you think Kurt?" Kristina's voice soon spoke up catching his attention.
"As best person slash official wedding planer I definitely aprove except for…."
Kristiina sucked in a deep breath waiting for Kurt to say something that would totally put a damper on her plans however what he said next definitely tossed her for a loop.
"Why don't we make this a surprise wedding."
"A Surprise wedding."
Kurt nodded.
"Just picture it, everyone sans me and Cedes standing around the ballroom when suddenly the doors swing open and music begins to play and then the offciator steps out to start the ceremony… it will be spectacular."
Kristina just smiled at just how invested that Kurt was of her idea and the way he planed to up the ante. It would definitely make it a night to remember that was for sure.

Meanwhile back in Boston, Artie was sitting around his apartment strumming aimlessly on his guitar relishing in the brief moment between the end of his summer clases and the beginnings of his fall ones when things to him were quiet.
Too quiet in his opinion and he was about to do something more about it then playing his music until the door opened and Nate entered the room, a huge grin on his face.
"Someone is happy."
"I just found out that I got into The Science of Harry Potter."
"I still can't believe that's an actual class."
"Really, or are you just jealous."
"while I admit that this class is totally bad ass I see no way that it can help you in your major…what is it again?"
"Undeclaired and don't remind me, anyway it's not like you've got a major picked out Abrams."
"Actualy when I first got to college, before my sabatical I WAS a film major."
"WAS?"
"I don't know, I'm thinking of Left Brain like psychology or something."
A small bout of silence filled the room before Nate made a face.
"you seem more a Right Brain kind of guy Abrams."
"It was just a thought…."
"Lets keep it that way."
"It's my life."
"and I'm your friend, I don't want to see it be a miserable one….."
Nate was about to open his mouth when Artie's phone rang the familiar tone designated for Kristna.
"Tell your girlfriend I said hi," Nate said with a smirk and a wink as he made his way to his bedroom.
"Hello," Artie said his face lighting up, "I was just thinking of you…"

Still seated on Kurt's couch Kristina's face lit up at Artie's words.
"Oh you were now."
"I was talking to Nate about majors and he was telling me he didn't want me to have a miserable life and I wanted to tell him that my lide wouldn't be miserable cause I was with the love of my life…"
"Awwww, I would kiss you if it were physicaly possible through the phone."
"I can practically taste your lip-gloss, anyway why are you calling me woman besides giving me the pleasures of hearing your sweet voice."
"I talked to Kurt, operation official is a go."
"Operation official?"
"You try to think of something creative on the spot."
Artie let out a small chuckle from his end of the line.
"Also, I know we like just saw each other at my place less then a week ago but classes are starting soon and while we're still hideing it dates are going to be becoming scarse."
"And what do you supose we do about this?"
"I know it's a drive but care to meet me at Jake's tonight?"
Mentaly calculating how long the drive from Boston to Port Charles was Artie gave a response.
"I'm leaving my place now."
"Good," Kristina said with a smile as Kurt entered the room again.
"Artie?" Kuer mouthed as Kristina nodded and hung up.
"So, I take it you told wheels about the wedding plans."
"Sure did, anyway I know I said I would be spending the night but something came up and I need to go."
"Heading to Boston or something?" Kurt asked with a smirk.
"Or something," Kristina responded gathering her things and heading out the door.

The sun was setting as she arrived in Port Charles where she parked her car in the alley lot outside of Jake's. stepping out of her car she took a moment to inhale a lingering breath of the musty air before making her way toward the bars enterence hopeing that Coleman had the Kareoke macheiene out and if not wondered if he would set it up for her however as she peered her eyes inside the bar she knew she wouldn't get to ask this, at least not that evening.
"What the…." she thought to herself looking over to see Maxie Jones chatting animatedly with a verry familiar Latina while an equily familiar blonde was leaning against a pool table with a dreamy look in her eyes.
"Why are Santana anf Brittney here…tonight of all nights."
However once again her silent questions were to be unanswered as a hand fell on her shoulder causing her to jump a mile as Jake's wasn't in the most savery part of town to begin with.
"Sorry I scared you," Artie said with a smile as he placed his hand gently on her cheek and leant in for a kiss that was thwarted as Kristina took a step back, "what's wrong, is your dad in there or something."
"Worse."
"Worse then your dad, the town godfather."
"Take a look, quickly so they don't see you."
Artie nodded as he quickly turned his eyes toward the door catching a brief glance of one Brittney Pierce.
"Seriously, here… now."
"I was thinking the same thing but now that I think about it I do remember something on Santana's facebook about Crimson and I'm so sorry I made you drive all this way for a failed date."
"Who says this date is failed."
"Why? Do you WANT Brittnet and Santana to see you and me together…you, walking…"
"No… anyway what I meant was that in living here for the first sixteen years of your life you must know more then just Jake's to hang out."
Kristina nodded as an invisible light bulb turned on in her head as she picked up her cellphone.
"Hey grandpa Mike….yea I'm doing well….actualy I'm here in town and was wondering if Kelly's was busy….well I'm here with a friend and…yes a boy…really…thanks."
Hanging up the phone Artie smiled.
"So I take it the date's still on?" Kristina nodded as she lead him toward the parking lot giving him directions to the diner.
X0x0x0x0x0x0x0x
A few minutes later the duo arrived in front of the small diner where a light frown instantly crossed Artie's lips.
"It's closed," he simply said while Kristina proceded to chuckle as she walked up to the glass, knocking gently.
Seconds later an older looking man arrived with a smile on his face as he tossed his arms around Kristina.
"It's good to see you again," he said with a smile before looking over to Artie, "and you are…."
"Artie sir, I'm Kristina's boyfriend."
"Boyfriend? Last I heard sweetie you were dateing a guy named Blaine…. And wasn't Artie the name of your boyfriend back at McKinely and I'm talking too much."
The two young adults now stood in the emptied diner and watched Mike place a set of keys on the counter.
"Anyway you kids have fun but not too much fun if you know what I mean."
Kristina rolled her eyes and the old man flashed another quick smile and was gone.
"I'm sorry," Kristina replied once Mike was gone.
"What's to be sorry for," Artie said eyeing the old jukebox that sat against a wall and making a B line for it.
"Nothing I guess, anyway Artie what are you doing?"
"I thought we could use some music….ahhh perfect."
Watching Artie press a few buttons the silent diner soon was filled with the opening notes of the song began.
"M'lady may I have this dance?"
"Yes," she spoke with a smile.
From this moment life has begun
From this moment you are the one
Right beside you is where I belong
From this moment on
From this moment I have been blessed
I live only for your happiness
And for your love I'd give my last breath
From this moment on
I give my hand to you with all my heart
Can't wait to live my life with you, can't wait to start
You and I will never be apart
My dreams came true because of you
From this moment as long as I Iive
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment on...
They spent the entire dance in each others arms occasionally singing along load enough for one another to hear and as the music died down their lips met for a long lingering kiss and for a moment Kristina contemplated asking Artie if he wanted to head upstairs however a bigger part of her knew that sleeping with her boyfriend at this time wouldn't be the best idea and so as she pulled back she flashed him a half smile.
"What's going on in your mind right at this moment?" Artie asked.
Hopeing she wasn't blushing Kristina suggested they head up back to make dinner which they did before heading back out to their make shift dance floor to savor what was sure to be their last 'date' for a while.
TBC
Ok so this chapter was NOT my original intention however I like the results…still trying to mesh the non-Kristina archs into this piece more…also the Santana/Brit stuff was something I had in the back of my head that I dropped and then decided to add back into this cannon. Anyway I'd like to thank Gina and Katy for their help and support even though I used none of Gina's sugestions LOL… and now the important stuff…song used 'From This Moment On' by Shania Twain,(Though if you like to read the chapters while listing to the songs I highly sugest the Kristen Alderson cover of this...) anyway, as for the class Nate is taking well it's an actual class at Frostburg State, I did a search on Bizare College Classes and it came up and I figured, well since Nate is played by 'Ron Weasley' why the hell not. I don't know when I'll update this next I may just wait until I'm done with 'Man You'll Marry' unless your reviews convince me otherwise…
