'I still can't believe you're in this club. Singing and dancing for competition purposes? It's basically made for los-'

'Kitty, enough.' Sam leans up against the choir room doors facing Kitty. He warned her about using that word in front of him about everyone in the club, his second family he calls it. 'It's what I love to do and we're all a family. We love each other, we look out for each other, we're there for each other. Maybe Coach Sue should take notes instead of firing cheerleaders out of cannons.' Sam raises an eyebrow at her and looks into the choir room before back to his girlfriend.

'Calm it down Sam, you know I'm just joking around with you.' She sighs leaning into his chest and looking up into his eyes. Taller boys are definitely the cuter ones, especially ones that look like him. She smiles and whispers up to him. 'You know you're my own personal loser anyway and so far you've made me happy being my boyfriend.' Kitty pulls herself up to plant a soft kiss on Sam's lips and falls back down to her shortened height. 'So anyways, about Friday this week. What plans are you even making for us?'

Sam throws on a smile and wraps his arm down around her and pulls her back into him. The warmth between them comforts him and only makes Kitty start to blush circles all on her face. 'I told you, don't worry about it. I can't promise it'll be like the best date ever but I know you'll enjoy it.' The bells rings and Sam sighs and chuckles, making Kitty roll her eyes in a playful manner. 'Well, time to go sing and dance for competition purposes.'

She hits him on the shoulder lightly and laughs softly before leaning back into him one last time. 'Like I said, my own personal loser that I enjoy all to myself. Tell the other losers I said hi...or better yet, don't.' Kitty giggles at Sam's face and kisses him once more, pulling back to see him with a smile and shaking his head.

'Friday, Kitty. No Glee Club or Cheerios practice, the whole rest of the day is to ourselves and not by hanging out with anyone else, okay?'

'Get going, Sam.' Kitty starts to walk away before turning around and blowing him a kiss and giving him a wink.

Sam chuckles and cheers to himself silently while Kitty walks away. Yes! Yes! Yes! She won't forget this date, or at least the second part of it. He walks into the choir room and finds a few of the other members looking at him in a weird fashion before taking his seat. Blaine turns around in his chair to look at him.

'Hey Sam. Not to be nosy or anything but a few of us are wondering this. You're happy with Kitty, right? Being her boyfriend, so to speak?'

'Um yeah I'm pretty sure I am hence why I'm with her. Did you get a good view watching us from your chair, Blaine?' Sam clears his throat looking at Blaine with a serious face.

'Well, we were just wondering because you know how she can be towards us since we're in the Glee Club, especially since she had it out for Marley the first few weeks. We don't want you getting hurt by her or anything, that's all.' Blaine smiles in a way that shows he really cares.

Sam chuckles a bit towards the first bit. 'Thanks Blaine, really.' He quickly glances over to Marley where he smiles softly and nods, before turning back looking around at everyone and back to Blaine. 'She's really a good girl once you get to know her a little bit. But as long as I'm with her, she won't hurt or put down anyone in this club. And she definitely won't pick my clothes out like Kurt does for you.' Sam smiles and everyone giggles softly at the minor joke.

'H-he doesn't pick out my clothes, just sometimes he tells me what bow ties look nice with whatever I'm wearing.' Blaine turns back around in his chair laughing himself, knowing it's partly true but nevertheless he loves how fashion-crazy Kurt can be.

'My point exactly, Blaine.'

'Alright, alright. Everyone, let's be happy for Sam that he's found someone he likes. We don't judge others in here and everyone's happiness is what makes this Glee Club alive and safe.' Blaine nods in Sam's direction, in which Sam smiles and nods back as Mr. Schue arrives for the club. He congratulates Sam for Prom King and the entire Glee Club for their job at the Homecoming dance.

Friday rolls around quickly and everyone has crowded the hallways as the final bell rings for the day. Students are at their lockers putting their books and binders away and talking about their plans for the weekend. Blaine spots Sam at his locker and says goodbye to Brittany who was arguing with him about how she put hair gel all over Lord Tubbington and it didn't make him feel slick. He approaches Sam with a smile on his face still amused by Brittany and leans his back against the locker.

'Hey Sam, do you have a minute? I was hoping we could talk really quick before you go. I heard you have a big date planned for Kitty.'

'Yeah sure. What's up, Cyclops?'

'Well, it's sort of about you and Kitty. The way-' Sam looks at him and cuts him off before he continues with his next few words.

'Blaine, do we really have to have this conversation again about her? She's my girlfriend and I have a right to date whoever I want to date.'

'Sam- no no, that's not what I wanted to discuss because I know that. I actually came up to you because I see the way you look at her when you two are together. It's the same way I look at Kurt all the time like you're falling in love with them by the second.' He clears his throat and slides his hand down the back of his head straightening it out with his gel. 'I mean if I remember correctly, I haven't seen you look at someone like that since you sang 'Time of my Life' with Quinn at Sectionals and I was in the audience watching.'

Quinn. I forgot about her and how she's been acting towards me lately. Blaine's on to something though because I'm not denying what he's saying. I might be falling for Kitty already.

'-and what I'm trying to say is I really am happy for you. We're best friends so we're supposed to support each other's decisions and seeing how she's been making you happier than I've seen you in a while, I support your guys' relationship.'

Sam closes his locker and throws his book bag over his shoulder and pats Blaine on the back as they begin to walk down the hall. He replays that duet at Sectionals in his head and how it reminded him of how much he loved Quinn and singing that exact song with her. He remembers how much he smiled throughout the entire song while singing to Quinn.

'That actually means a lot coming to me and telling me all of this. Like I said, I know she isn't the nicest person in the world and I hope Marley doesn't hate me for dating her, but what you said is true. I haven't felt this way about someone since I dated Quinn and I don't want to deny it to myself. So thank you, Blaine.'

'Anything for you, Sam. Also about Quinn, what's going on with her, do you know?' They both stop at the exit doors in front of the school as a few students pass by them to get to their buses on time. Sam looks at Blaine confused since he knows a bit about what he's saying. 'She's literally sent me a text almost every day asking how Glee Club was and how you were doing. Are things with you two alright?'

Sam sighs and shakes his head at what Blaine just told him. He can't believe that she was this serious about wanting to get him back with her so much she basically is asking Blaine how he's doing. 'Yeah we're fine I suppose. The distance between us sort of sucks since she went off to Yale and look out for each other after we broke up. She probably just misses me, that's all.' Or she just wants to keep tabs on me so she can try her next move at getting me back.

Looking to his right and bringing a smile on his face from ear to ear which also causes Blaine to look as well, Kitty is walking in their direction in her Cheerios uniform and what can pass off as a small smile. Blaine looks back to Sam and raises his eyebrows. 'See what I mean? You just get lost in her presence and it's really adorable to see.'

Kitty falls into Sam's chest and he wraps his arms around her body while looking to Blaine and exchanging smiles with him. The sweet smell of her perfume rubs off on Sam as she pulls back and kisses him on the cheek before turning to Blaine. 'How's the view look, hair gel?' Her bitch smile forms on her face before it starts to fade as Sam squeezes her hand softly.

'Pretty nice, actually. I was telling Sam before how happy I was for him finding someone who makes him happy and more alive again. Guess the thanks all go to you.' Blaine forces half a smile to her since she always has something to say about his hair gel no matter where they are.

'What can I say? It's like I'm a miracle worker to some people. But thank you for your input as well seeing it makes me happy it's not so much a secret as date plans are to some.' She turns and glares at Sam playfully who is holding his hands up innocently. I'm still trying to figure out how I got so lucky myself with someone like him.

'Hey, it's not my fault that you can't wait a few more hours. I'm only trying to be your boyfriend here.' He and Blaine chuckle before Blaine looks at his phone getting a call from Kurt and puts him on hold for a second. 'Well I hope you two have an awesome time tonight. Kurt's here for the weekend so we have plans of our own. I'll see you two next week.' He walks out the doors after saying goodbye and continues his phone call with Kurt.

'Alright Sam I'm getting too impatient yet excited about the rest of today. I just want to know where we're going at least.' She takes his hand in her and interlocks their fingers with one another. Kitty's always loved the feeling of holding someone's hand. She felt it was necessary to show everyone that she's happy with somebody and that every girl should keep away from him.

Sam chuckles a bit before planting a kiss upon her right cheek. 'I'm not giving away too much. Let's just say I hope you like a combo a music, food, possible dunk tanks, and I hope you worked on your putting skills Happy Gilmore.' She squeezes his hand tight and chuckles at the nickname, her obviously knowing mini golf is on the list. Sam Evans, how dorky and cute are you going to get today?

Kitty stared blankly out the passenger window while Sam was driving them to wherever he had planned to go. She watched as the trees in the distance slowly passed by them and how the sun looked as if it were going to become engulfed in the oncoming clouds. Something about this site made Kitty feel secure and open minded about things. She loves the fall weather and her style of clothes she gets to wear in it whenever she's out of her Cheerios uniform. Black jeans with a red McKinley hoodie felt comfortable for her with a white T underneath and her hair in a ponytail lower than the mandatory Cheerios high pony.

Turning to face Sam comes a soft smile as she slides her hands into her pockets of her hoodie. She's never had a boyfriend who cared so much about her to even take her on real dates. This was the only real date Kitty has been on, not counting sitting with them at lunch or the school's social events. Most of her boyfriends only used her as arm candy to get noticed by people in school, but not Sam. Sam is different to her despite the minor torture she's portrayed upon him and a few of his friends, which is really only a shield and an act to keep herself safe from her past.

'What?' Doing a double take and catching her stare on him, he asks with half a smile on his face.

Kitty just shrugs and looks back out the windshield window and puts her feet up on the dashboard to get more comfortable. 'Nothing really. I guess...a bit nervous? No one's ever taken me out on a real date before.' Her eyes fall down to her lap as flashbacks begin to play in her head. One specifically where she went back in her school to grab her jacket she forgot and she caught her boyfriend making out with another girl in the history classroom when they were supposed to go to the movies later that night together. Underneath all her anger and her bitchiness is a sad girl waiting to be found and made happy.

Slightly chuckling, Sam reaches his hand over to the blonde and pulls her left hand out of her hoodie pocket and taking it into his. He holds it softly while massaging the top of her index and middle fingers. 'Everything's going to go great, I promise. Look, there's a hint at where we're headed right now.' He points out to the right to a sign that reads 'Allen County Carnival: 5 miles' and Kitty lets out a tiny laugh. 'Sam, a carnival? That's so dorky but in a really cute way. I haven't been to one of these since I was a kid.'

'I figured it be sort of romantic and at the same time fun for the both us. What couple can resist a carnival when you can win stuffed animal prizes and possibly dunk clowns in a tank of ice cold water?'

Dunk tanks, that's what he meant by. 'You better win a stuffed animal for me, Sam. Or do I have to win one all on my own?' Whipping her hair to the side and smirking towards his way as he chuckles and raises his right eyebrow up. 'Sounds like a challenge, a pretty easy one at that. You're on, Kitty.' She giggles as she reaches over in font of her for the radio dial when it plays into Sam's ears.

You're the one thing, I can't get enough of(can't get enough of)
So I'll tell you something. this could be love(this could be love)
I had the time of my life, no I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth, and I owe it all to y-

The dial quickly changes to another station as Sam clears his throat trying to find anything but that song. The same song he sang with Quinn at Sectionals. The song he sang when he was deeply in love with her. It just had to be that song. No, it just HAD to be that song to play on the radio the exact time that Kitty went to turn it on to make Sam flashback to that day at Sectionals. The way he looked into Quinn's hazel eyes the same way he looks into Kitty's now.

'A little quick on the radio knob there, Sam?' Kitty laughs at his quick reflex to change the station and brings her feet down from the dashboard as they pull into the parking lot of what seems to be the carnival.

No, just a little too late to erase what just played in my head. Ever since talking last with Blaine about Quinn and Kitty, it's like every time I think about Quinn I feel something I shouldn't.

'Uh yeah, we're here. Time for me to win you something you won't be able to win yourself.' Sam uneasily smiles as he looks into Kitty's eyes knowing that he may still feel something for Quinn after all. No. No I can't. I'm with Kitty now and she's who I should be thinking about right now making her happy because she's who I planned this date for, not Quinn.

Kitty chuckles competitively as she gets out of the car with Sam and raises her eyebrows at him. 'Is that sexism, Sam Evans? We'll see who the real winner will be.' She takes his hand into hers as they walk towards the carnival with smiles on their face.

The sight of the carnival is peaceful and content as they walk amongst others through the entrance of the place. Sam pays the worker who is at the entrance who then marks both of their hands with an X with a black sharpie for purposes showing that they payed to get in. As they walk on with each other they see kids running around with smiles on their faces desperately trying to go on to the next rides. One person is walking around with a camera in their hands, snapping photos of the rides and a few groups of people, whether it be something for photography or if it's just merely someone for the local paper.

Walking up further ahead past a few rides and carnival stands lies a miniature golf course which is the direction Sam is taking his blonde date to. They show the worker their X before he hands them both a golf club while Kitty chooses a red ball and Sam chooses a blue one. They step out to the first course and Sam motioning to Kitty going first.

'Is it possible for someone to be the head Cheerio while being super pretty and amazing at mini golf?' Sam jokes to Kitty as she sets her ball down and readies herself for the first shot. 'You're clearly not looking hard enough I guess, Sam Evans. Because she's about to whoop some guppy fish ass right here at this carnival. Watch and learn.' She turns back eying down the green path in front of her and plants her feet to the ground. Holding the putter firmly she pulls it back and taps the ball forward and it flows down the course smoothly before it finally reaches and drops into the hole, with Kitty flipping her hair around to face Sam with a smirk on her face.

'Would you look at that, it went in the the first putt. I guess it is possible, huh?'

'Aheh, yeah or maybe it's just the golf course can't handle such a beautiful girl in it's path and flustered around and dropped its guard.' The slight comment makes Kitty start to blush as Sam moves up to take his shot, winking her way. 'Tell you what, if I make this in one shot...' Kitty quirks her eyebrow up at him and crosses her arms, showing she can't wait to hear this. '...you have to tell me two things. One, something that I don't know about you, or anyone knows about you. And two, you have to tell me one thing you like and disliked about tonight right before you walk up to your house.'

'Alright Sam, you're on. But if you don't make it and I'm PRETTY sure you probably won't, you have to tell me what you were thinking in the car before when you blatantly almost tore your radio knob out of its home. And I want the truth too.' Sam sighs deeply before nodding and facing the hole in front of him. He place the blue ball down in the middle of the white line and plants his feet to the ground now. He closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. If I miss then I can probably kiss Kitty goodbye from my life. She doesn't like Quinn obviously from the mini scene at Homecoming. Think Happy Gilmore Sam. Just tap it in, just tap it in. Give it a little tappy, tap tap tapparoo.

A small chuckle exits through Sam's lung before he shoots his eyes down the course locking them onto the hole. He double takes between it and his ball and stops. He pulls his putter back with ease before lightly tapping the blue ball down the course. It travels down the green covered cloth smoothly and quickly perfectly aligned to hit the hole. The balls shoots over the center of the whole, hits the backboard beyond it, and slowly rolls back into the hole.

Sam's lips spread across his face into a big smile and Kitty's jaw drops down as her eyes expand widely. He walks over to the hole and grabs both of the golf balls out before making his way back over to Kitty who is still in shock. 'Guess you're not the only one who can make a great shot.' He leans over to her ear and whispers 'That also means I won this time.' Pulling away he kisses her cheek before they start to walk over to the worker. They hand him their clubs and golf balls and start to walk on. 'Wait you two.' The worker stops them and heads into the booth grabbing a few things and coming back out with them. 'Here are your prizes for the hole in ones you made. Good job and enjoy your visit here!'

A stuffed dog is given to Sam and a stuffed tiger to Kitty as they both begin to chuckle and walk slowly side by side to each other. 'Looks like we both won a prize anyway.' Sam stops and looks at the stuffed animal before handing it over to Kitty in which she gives him a weird look. 'For you, Kitty. I told you I'd win you something today.' What a gentleman, right? Kitty blushes to herself and moves her hair back behind her shoulders. 'You are such a dorky, blonde haired sweetheart, Sam Evans.' She looks down to the stuffed tiger she won and hands it over to Sam. 'Here. I know you probably don't like to keep these but consider it a consolation prize, or a gift to your little siblings.'

Sam leans in over to Kitty and kisses her lips softly, feeling the warm and softness of them and savoring the touch of her. The fireworks again begin to explode inside of them as their lips come together, a feeling they both have longed for quite some time now. Sam pulls away from her slowly and takes a deep breath. 'Come on, there's something I want to take you on.'

'This is really cliche and dangerous, Sam. What if we fall out? You better catch me. If that's what it takes to have your arms around me. Ugh.

'Relax, Kitty. It's just a ferris wheel, not some rotating death trap that'll detach when we reach the top.'

'That's not comforting at all!' Kitty lightly raises her voice to Sam as the big carnival attraction continues to rise higher and higher in its rotating motion. Sam reaches down into the bag of cotton candy they bought before getting on before tearing a piece out and splitting it into two. 'So you're not afraid of the dangerous BS that Coach Sue likes to endure on the Cheerios but you're afraid of a carnival ride?'

Popping the piece of cotton candy in her mouth with a wide eyed expression on her face, letting it slowly melt in her mouth like butter in a pan. 'Rides can break down at any time.'

'So could a pyramid that the Cheerios build during their practice, or competition. Come on, at least pretend like it's not amazing. I mean look at the rest of the place all lit up around here and the view we get from it.' He takes a real long breath while he looks over to her and how she is finally admiring the sight he just explained to her. 'So..what uhh, what's something about you that you think I should probably know? Assuming the bet wager is still on.'

Kitty allows herself to take in the moment with Sam being up high as the ferris wheel stops to allow other to get on through the bottom to look at the carnival lit up the a few buildings beyond that seem to have their lights on as well. She then looks down to her knees which where snugged up from her black jeans before taking a moment to bury her hands into her hoodie pockets for a second.

She looks up seeing that Sam is appreciating how good she looks, or how good he thinks she looks. 'Well, my last name really isn't Bennett. That's my mother's maiden name but I just starting using it after this huge fight her and my dad got into, which almost led to divorce. My real last name is Wilde. Kitty Wilde.'

'Kitty Wilde. Hmm, that's got a good ring to it. But anyone could figure that out so what about anything else?' Kitty starts to tremble noticeably and carefully slides herself over next to Sam where she leans into his chest, making him wrap his arms around her to hold her securely and safely. She takes a few moments to herself before she starts to speak.

'I wasn't always who people make me out to be today. I...was basically a loser. People always told me I was pretty and I believed them. But they'd talk about me behind my back, call me names like Wild E. Coyote and even the Unpretty Kitty. I was always stood up at dances which is why I was skeptical about going with you because I was just afraid of getting hurt again. With a little therapeutic help along the way, I've finally accepted how I look and I don't let anyone bring me down about it so I'm sorry for always being a bitch to you and your friends, especially the dead dog girl Marley.'

Sam chuckles and kisses the top of her head before pulling her up for a lingering kiss, holding the back of her neck firmly. 'It's okay, really. Whatever's in the past is in the past with you and besides, I think you're the cutest girl of all of Ohio anyway. I don't really blame you for it now.' The ferris wheel slowly starts to rotate back down which is where Sam and Kitty will get off.

'Hold on, Sam. I still want to know what went on with you in the car earlier today. And don't lie to me either because trouble will come.' Sam sighs trying not to think about what happened as he's been fine all day without a thought on the matter. He brings his gaze up to Kitty's whose eyes seem sincere and innocent for a change.

'Listen...I'll tell you about it another time, alright? I promise. I just don't want to end tonight with you on a bad note because I had such a great time with you today. It's almost 11 now so I'll take you home.' The ferris wheel stops at the bottom allowing both blonde to get off and head back with their stuffed animals and half a bag of cotton candy back to the car. The night seemed really peaceful as it was beforehand with the temperature just right and almost no noise the whole car ride back.

Pulling into Kitty's driveway to her house, to Sam's surprise she leans over turning his head to her and kisses him softly holding his chin close to keep the kiss a little deep between them. She pulls away leaving Sam to breathe in which they both let out a chuckle.

Kitty begins to open the door then stops and turns to her blonde haired sweetheart. 'Sam, I had a really fun time with you today and I think this was just what I needed. And thank you for winning me Sammy.' She smiles holding up the stuffed animal dog that he gave to her and gives it a light kiss.

'Glad to know that I'm not doing anything wrong with you so far. I'll call you sometime this weekend?'

'You better, Sam Evans.' She opens the door and gets out of the car but pops her head back in to kiss Sam back on his cheek which causes him to throw on his Trouty Mouth smile. 'Oh, and the other half of the bet. What I loved about this date...it was just spontaneous and surprising to say the least and I got to spend the day with you. Aaaand, the worst part is happening right now because it's coming to an end.' She tucks her blonde hair over some of her ear and smiles softly to him, her real smile she prefers to use with him.

'I'd have to agree with you, except my favorite part was on the ferris wheel where I got to learn about some of the real you. It doesn't matter how you act because I just know you're still that girl who I'm just insanely into no matter what she thinks.' His sweet words cause Kitty to blush and shake her head. 'You are so my loser. Call me, Sam.' She closes the door after giving her an assuring nod and watches as she walks up her steps, blowing him a kiss before she heads into her home. I think I love her. That's what plays in Sam's head as he pulls away from her house. I..I can't believe I'm even feeling this about someone. I think I love him. That's what plays in Kitty's head as she heads into her house.

Pulling up to his house Sam grabs the stuffed tiger and the rest of the cotton candy and heads to his front porch. He opens the door only to be rushed at by his little sister Stacey.

'Sammy you're home! Oh my gosh, is that cotton candy? And a tiger?' Sam scoops her up into his arms and plants a kiss on her cheek before setting her back down. 'Of course they are, kiddo. They're for you and Stevie, just make sure you share the rest with him, alright.'

'Okay. He's sleeping right now, but guess what? Someone's here to see you and they've been waiting almost all night, Sam.' She begins to eat some of the cotton candy as Sam looks at her with a smile.

'Someone's here to see me? It's almost midnight, who could possib-'

Sam stops short of his words as Quinn Fabray walks in from the living room biting her lip and fidgeting with her fingers. He stands up from kneeling by Stacey and tells her to check on her little brother and she leaves the room with them two alone. He can't believe it before his eyes stands the short haired blonde in her white and beige dress covered with her dark brown coat. First the flashbacks at school, then the song on the radio, and now here in is own home is Quinn.

'Quinn.' He begins to say as he takes a few steps to to hang his jacket up. 'What are you doing here? You're supposed to be at Yale doing, I don't know, Yale things.' She keeps her gaze onto him still fidgeting with her fingers and a sad type look on her face.

'I just wanted to talk to you in private, Sam. And in person because it wouldn't feel the same over a text or a phone call.'

'I'm still with Kitty, alright Quinn? Look, I understand that you're still feeling feelings for me and all, but yo-'

'You know she can't possibly be the one for you, Sam. She can't give you the love I can and once did give you. I know deep down somewhere you still love me and I'm holding myself to that hope so we can be together again, this time for good. Look.' Sam's eyes slowly widen as Quinn holds up her left hand to him, and on her finger holds the promise ring that Sam gave Quinn one year ago when they were together.

'Why do you still have that? You know I will always care about you Quinn but I'm not leaving Kitty to revamp something in the past.' Sam walks closer to her where she looks down almost holding back tears that start to form. 'You don't need anyone to make you happy to be happy yourself. Sure they help but it's not always the answer, Quinn.' She sniffles away the tears so they don't fall but looks deep into Sam's eyes knowing he is who she wants and will fight for.

'Just kiss me once.' She lets out a deep breath and makes Sam sigh as well. 'Just one kiss, and I'll know if you're really over me to be with this Kitty girl. And if you're not, I'll give this back and I'll stay out of the way from now on.' Sam sighs deeply again, knowing this isn't what he wants but some part always wants to see it himself. She holds his head up as he begins to look down and he steps closer to her merely inches from her face. Tucking some if her blonde hair behind her ear, he slowly leans in closing his eyes and kisses his ex girlfriend so softly it hold them together for a few seconds more than planned.

Pulling back with both of their breaths short, Sam and Quinn stare into each other's eyes with them both knowing that they felt something and their old spark is still there. Sam breathes deeply and walks away into the living room not saying a word leaving Quinn alone in the first room where she begins to smile softly, now knowing that Sam Evans is not completely over her.

A/N: Here it is, Chapter 3 is finally up! To be honest, I really struggled writing this and was frustrated but I finally thought of something a few weeks ago and yeah, it just took some time to put it all together but it really shocked and helped me with a few reviews I got for it this past week. Hope you're all enjoying this story and hope the chapter as well. Feel free to leave a review or message me your thoughts/feelings. I'm hoping not to take as long with Chapter 4 but we'll see how things go. Be well (:
