Wow, I thought it was way longer than this. Whatever. I went driving for the first time! It's illegal to drive in Canada without insurance, so even though I've had my license since JULY! this was my first driving experience, cause my dad was beyond lazy for filling out the paperwork. Oh, and it's my G1, which like a learner's permit in the US. I know, lame, I wish I was American. Angst over. Chapter time! Enjoy!

"What the f-"

"The road, Finn!" Finn couldn't believe it. Alien? This had to be a joke. I mean, sure, maybe there was life out there in the universe they didn't know about, but Jesse? He was no alien.

"Alien? B-b-bu-bu-"

"But what? Look, I'm sorry we're only telling you now, but-"

"You knew!" Finn swiftly turned his head to face Kurt, who was being very careful to avoid any eye contact whatsoever. "You knew and you didn't tell me. What, so you think if Rachel was an alien that I wouldn't tell you, is that how it is, because I trusted you, Kurt, I trusted you, and now we're speeding down the road in a car, no idea where we're going, because we're being chased by someone hunting a real life alien, who happens to be Rachel's boyfriend. You, Kurt Hummel, are a terrible friend." Finn didn't mean for his words to sting so much, but he wanted him to know how badly it stung to be lied to. He wasn't an idiot. Well, a total idiot. He deserved to be talked to, treated like he had feelings. Feelings Kurt stomped all over so he could hide his stupid alien lover from him. It beat Kurt crushing on him, but even that Finn felt strange about. There was a strange comfort in Kurt's creepy 'I-watch-you-while-you-sleep-and-smell-your-football-uniform' glances, so Finn did feel a little strange about Kurt's moving on. To an alien? Was that the standards these days, was Finn such a dense lug that even some creature from a far off planet was better than him?

"I'm not a creature, Finn, I'm practically human, but if you don't take this ring, then I can read your thoughts, if that's creature enough for you." Finn turned from the steering wheel to take the heavy ring from the palm of Jesse's hand. Finn felt Jesse's cold and knowing glare, and he instantly knew he had probably seen something in his head he didn't want repeated.

"Jesse, I'm sorry, but this guy, he- I know him." Jesse shot Kurt a look of total disbelief, and Finn just continued driving, not wanting to let Kurt feel any more accepted than he needed to be. "His name is Wes, I went out with him before we were- before I knew- well, you know what I mean."

"Are you sure it's him?"

"Positive. He hunts aliens, and he got really weird about the fallen star you had given me." Finn's ears perked up at the mention of a falling star. Finn turned towards the ornate jewelry piece he guessed was it, which was resting on Kurt's porcelain features, and immediately sent out a wish.

"But how did he know about me being a- Finn Hudson, you are almost seventeen years old, if you want a damn puppy dog, ask your parents!" Finn withdrew into the driver's seat sheepishly as soon as he realized the stupid ring was nothing but a cellphone like device. Stupid thing.

"I don't know, and that's the hard part, I-"

"Open your heart to me!" The ring tone blared out from Finn's cell loud and clear, and Kurt looked down at it to find it was a call from the one and only Rachel Berry.

"Seriously, Finn? Open Your Heart? You need to get on that fast, before you drown in the desperation of it all." Finn reached over for his phone, but Kurt smacked his hand away, in typical diva fashion. "Nuh-uh, both hands on the wheel, I'm not getting pulled over because Mr. I Want a Puppy is talking on a cell phone to a girl who's fashion travesties could be heard from miles away without the assistance of modern technology." Finn cursed as he heard Jesse snickering away in the backseat to Kurt's rant, and even more so as Kurt hit 'Talk' to engage in conversation with his nemesis.

"Hey, Berry."

"Oh, Kurt, hey, um, is Finn here?" Her voice sounded pained, a little panicky, and that instantly set off warning bells in Kurt's mind. So, as much as it pained him to do so, he put the phone on speaker, and held it towards Finn's mouth.

"Hey, Rach, what's up?"

"Finn, I've made a terrible mistake, I'm- I'm so sorry, tell Kurt I'm sorry, I'm so-"

"Rach, what's the matter, you haven't done anything wrong-"

"But I did, Finn! You know how I told you guys I was kind of psychic." Oh boy. Kurt could see where this one was going. Well, he could a few days ago. But considering he was holding the hand of his transgendered alien lover at that exact moment, Kurt felt his horizons were being quite expanded. "Wes is my cousin's best friend's older brother, and when he came over to our house for a dinner party, I- I saw something. And I told him what I saw."

"What did you see?" Silence. "Rachel?"

"I saw what you are, Jesse. I know you're an extra terrestrial from the far reaches of the galaxy." Jesse would have normally given a sharp intake of breath at this announcement, but her ridiculous wording made him fight to not burst into laughter. "Wes hates your kind, and I saw- Kurt, and you, you were together, and I wasn't thinking straight, and so I thought, maybe, if he knew, then Kurt couldn't have you anymore. It'd just be you and me." Silence. "But I know now how crazy that was, and I never should have done anything! Wes is following you as we speak, and is setting up pyrite circles."

"Uh, what are those?" Finn was the first who was willing to speak. Jesse was too horrified his ex girlfriend had tried to take his life. Kurt had never gotten along with Rachel, but this? How could she do this to them? To him? They weren't best friends, but they most certainly weren't enemies.

"Shredded pyrite in certain circular patterns is like a barbed wire fence for spirits. Your spirit is fine if it was born attached to your body, but if it isn't your natural state, then I'm afraid-"

"Your body and soul will die a torturous death if you try to pass the border for too long." Jesse's voice rang out loud and clear, and you could feel the tension from miles away. Jesse had thought he had been using Rachel, but clearly, she was the one with all of the pull thus far. Had she even fallen for any of his mind tricks? Or did she just play along? A loud honk was heard from directly behind them, and Kurt turned to see Wes' rusty old truck was trailing at a ridiculous close pace.

"Alright, Rach, we've got to go!"

"Wait, Finn, don't hang up yet, I lov-" Finn hung the phone up, and immediately felt relieved. Kurt had lied, but to protect Finn. He had to protect his friend from any unnecessary hurt, and considering Rachel was putting all of their lives in risk, she wasn't exactly in their good books at that point. Finn turned and shared a sad smile with Kurt, which was interrupted by the loud ringing of rocks against the window. Jesse's hands immediately flew towards his ears, cupping his ear drums, screaming at a ridiculously loud volume.

"Let me guess. Alien thing?" Kurt shrugged, and Finn tried to ignore the blood curdling noise from the backseat to focus on driving. Then it hit Kurt.

"Finn, you have to promise you'll keep driving, OK? That you won't go back for me?" Finn cocked his head in that adorable way, and with Jesse bawling in the backseat, he was looking even cuter than usual.

"Uh, I don't get it. But sure, I'll keep going. Why?" Kurt turned over to Jesse, who's screaming had finally died down, and kissed him lightly on the forehead. Jesse ran his hands through Kurt's hair, and they enjoyed the embrace briefly, but sweetly. Kurt left the arms of his boyfriend, and turned to see Finn, looking like a totally dedicated driver and best friend. Well, in reality, he was so repulsed to see Kurt with this guy that he couldn't look at them, but since he didn't have words for that yet, he chose not to say anything at all. Kurt, though, must have thought it was sweet, because much to Jesse's great annoyance, Kurt reached in, and gave Finn a short kiss on the forehead, sending Finn into a fit of confusion. What just happened? Wait. What? Kurt? The poor boy had no idea what was going on. Kurt turned to his two boys, practically men, blew them a quick kiss, threw the car door open, and leapt for the pavement, leading the other two to scream as loud as humanly possible.

"Stop the car, you goddamn oaf!"

"Well, you selfish ass, if you hadn't been screaming like a banshee, you'd know Kurt told me to not stop under any circumstances." Jesse tried to fight for an argument, but nothing came. Looking back, Finn saw exactly how well Kurt's plan had gone; Wes had stopped dead in his tracks, and come to Kurt's rescue. Finn just hoped he wouldn't be needing rescuing from his rescuer.

That cliffhanger was a little better if I do say so myself. Well, I hope you enjoyed! Until next time!
