Mercedes Apartment:
Mercedes couldn't sleep,In fact she haven't slept much since seeing Finn, All Mercedes could do was think about Finn 24/7, What she needed was to talk to a friend but Olga was deep in sleep across the hall so Mercedes grabs her cellphone and dials the number and waits for an answer on face-time A face comes on the phone "Mercedes shouldn't you be asleep its like 2 in the morning there ain't it?" The face on the other end of the phone said "Yeh i know Quinn, But i couldn't sleep and i really missed your voice"Mercedes said as she sits up on the bed "Hows LA?"Quinn goes as she waits for Mercedes response "Everything's okay... I guess" Quinn goes on "Its's Finn Is it, Puck was telling me about it last night when he called, He wants me to come out and see Beth" Mercedes smiled at her friend"You should it will do you some good" Quinn gives her a sad look "You think she'll remember me?" Mercedes gives her a sympathetic look"Of course she will, And you better come out for spring break, You can stay with me and my roommate" Quinn smiles at the offer "You know what...I will!" The two girls said there goodbyes as the disconnect, Mercedes felt a whole lot better talking to Quinn and looking forward to her visit and for the first time in weeks she actually could sleep.
The Hoult's House:
Its been two weeks since the boys started cleaning Nigel's Pool and seeing Mercedes (From a glimpse) the boys were cleaning the pool when Nigel walks out "Hey lads, Can i ask you something" The boys stop what they were doing and walk over to Nigel "I couldn't help but overhear you had a connection with Mercedes" Finn and Puck look at each other as Puck starts to talk "Yeh we went to high school together and we were in glee as well, Mercedes never really got the chance to really shine become some bitch in our group had to take all the good parts for herself"Finn looks at Puck and laughs "That bitch happen to be my ex" The boys and Nigel laugh at Finns comment as Ella and Olga walk by the boys "Okay boys i gotta get back in the studio, Will chat later" The boys wave as Nigel goes back into the house and the boys go back to cleaning the pool "So i talked to Quinn the other night and she's coming during spring break" Finn looks at Puck as he talks about Quinn "Is she gonna see Beth?" Finn as he checks the water levels "At first she was reluctant, But this morning she seemed excited about it" Puck taking a drink form his coke"I dont know but she talked to Mercedes before she called me and i guess she helped her change her mind! Finn smiled when he heard Mercedes name being mentioned "Speaking on Cedes, Where the hell is she" Puck said laughing as Olga walks over to the Pool"Are you Puck?" She said as she looks at him"Oh okay just checking" And pushes him in the pool "Mercedes said hi!" and walks back in the house as Finn starts laughing before being dragged in the pool.
Nigel's Kitchen: 10min Before The Push
Mercedes watches as Olga and Ella walk into the kitchen "There Here" Olga said sitting next to Mercedes and Ella smiling at Mercedes "Thank god i used the other entrance, I couldn't bare looking at Finn right now" Ella sits down in front of the girls "You like this Finn character dont you?"Mercedes looks at her boss "Since high school, He was the jock of the school and i was the so called diva, We were in glee together and the weird thing about he was being used by his ex, I felt really sorry for him"Olga and Ella look at her as she tells her story "And you know the weirdest part of this story is, How do i tell him?" Ella touches Mercedes hand like a mother understanding her child "In time child he'll understand" Mercedes smiles at Ella as Olga walks over to the screen door over hearing Puck talking about Mercedes "Know what'll make you better Cedes, Watch this!"Olga walks out of the door and over to Puck, Ella and Mercedes looks on as Puck gets pushed into the pool and Finn getting dragged in "So did that make you better?"Olga said running back in as Mercedes and Ella look at her in silence for a second then burst out laughing "I better go get the boys some towels"Mercedes walks down to the studio as Ella with some towels walks outside.
The Studio:
Mercedes sits down on one of the couches as she sees Nigel watch a video on the computer "May i ask what your watching?" Nigel looks at her then points at the computer"This guy Sam been sending me these videos for over a year until i finally had to sign you"Mercedes laughs as she heard Sam's name being mentioned "Reason i waited to long i wanted to see more videos"Nigel laughed and looks at Mercedes "Mercedes, You dont realize how many people loved you and wanted to see where you are today" Mercedes smiles at Nigel once hearing this"That Sam fella must be like a brother to you, Plus that Puck and Finn spoke very fondly of you, Apparently they said you weren't given much a chance in your glee group" Mercedes stands up and walks over to Nigel"There right about that, Nigel why did you choose me for this?" Nigel faces Mercedes "I want to give you a chance to shine, Not only did Ella and I chose you to be a Backing singer, We also wanted you to have a chance at a solo career" Mercedes looks shocked at this revelation "What does Olga think about this" Nigel looks up at Mercedes "My daughter Olga, Couldn't agree with me more" Nigel watches as Olga walks down to the studio "Hey Dad, what you doing"Olga hugs Nigel as Mercedes smile "I guess she knows now?" Nigel starts to laugh "Yes she knows" Olga puts a hand on Mercedes Shoulder "Were here for you"Olga smiles at Mercedes as Nigel gestures the ladies back into the booths "Alright ladies one last song to records and were finished with the album" The girls walk in to the booth as Olga whispers in Mercedes ear "I'll tell you more about it tonight".
The Hoults Living Room:
After Ella gave the boys some towels to dry off, She invited them into the house "Did you really had to drag me into the pool?" Finn said drying his hair with the towel "Well you were laughing at me" Puck said trying to get the water out of his ears as Ella walks into the living room with some drinks "Hope this will help boys" Ella said giving the guys a drink "Well at least your pool is clean Mrs Hoult" Finn said grabbing his drink "Boys call me Ella, i hate being called Mrs Hoult" Ella smiling at the boys "So what brought you boys to Los Angeles" Puck giving Finn a 'I'll go first look' "My daughter Beth lives here with her adopted mother, So i really wanted to be close to her" Ella smiles at Puck as he shows a picture of Beth from his phone "And you Finn, What about you?" Finn looks blank for a few moments "Her name is Mercedes, She's the reason why i'm here, Can you excuse me for a second" Finn walks out back to his truck and starts the truck, Once hearing the truck Puck runs after him.
Outside The Hoult's House:
As Finn see his friend stops in front of the truck, Puck walks up to the truck "Finn, What the hell is wrong with you" Finn starts to cry "What am i going to do" Puck watches as Olga walks over to the truck "Finn, Your gonna know this right now, Mercedes is in love with you but she's scared to tell you that" Finn wipes the tears from his eye as Puck helps him out of the car "Driving off into the sunset wont help that Finn, And Olga's right about Mercedes" Puck looks at his phone calender"You know her birthday is in a few weeks" Olga looks at Puck"She's in the studio she wont hear anything" Olga smiles at the boys " Your thinking what i'm thinking Finn" Finn gives Puck a grin" Were gonna throw a surprise party, And since Quinn, Blaine and Sam are coming i think it'll make it better!" Pucks jumps around with Finn "Mercedes is gonna love it, I hope miss 'I push people into pools' Can keep a secret?" Olga does a 'My lips our sealed' look to the boys "Dont worry she wont know a thing" Olga shakes the boys hands and walks back into the house "So what now?"Puck looks at Finn "We start planning!" Finn says with a smile.
