Sebastian buttoned his blazer as he left the classroom and started down the hallway, nodding and smiling at various friends on his way. He slowly approached Warbler practice, not looking forward to another hour of the panel complaining about the loss of Blaine Anderson. He entered and took a seat next to Jeff, exchanging a few pleasantries before the gavel was heard and silence fell.

"We got our letter today about Regionals, we're facing off against Aural Intenisty and the New Directions. We've faced the New Directions before but Aural Intenisty are new to us…" Sebastian tuned Wes out after hearing 'New Directions'. That was McKinley, as in Quinn's old school, so that would mean Sam… before he knew what he was doing, Sebastian's arm was in the air.

"Yes, Warbler Sebastian?"
"I have an idea. I think, if we want to make it to Nationals this year we need something we've never had before - girls" Sebastian glanced around to gage the reaction of the Warblers, and, to his surprise, they didn't seem to hate the idea. "The New Directions won't be expecting it, it could give us the edge at Regionals" and with that, Sebastian sat back down. David, Thad and Wes whispered for a few moments.

"Ok, Warbler Sebastian, if you can bring us some girls to audition we'll consider your proposal" Sebastian nodded, already scheming in his head.

As soon as he arrived home, Sebastian dived for his laptop, quickly pulling up youtube. After a few minutes of searching, he found what he was looking for - Quinn Fabray singing at sectionals with the New Directions. He lost himself for a few moments, completely unaware of the subconscious smile forming on his face and the dreamy look on his face. She was perfect. He studied the boy she was singing with for a while, before deciding this must be Sam. He was alright. She seemed to be really into him…

Sebastian's plan of action was simple, convince the panel to let him duet with Quinn at Regionals.

To: Quinn

Q, wanna go out for dinner tonight? xx

To: Sebastian

What, like a date? xx

To: Quinn

If you want it to be? Or just as friends? xx

To: Sebastian

A date sounds good. Pick me up in an hour :) xx

Sebastian ran his hand through his hair one last time before heading downstairs and into his car. He quickly followed the directions Quinn had text him, and it wasn't till he was outside her front door that the nerves hit him. He lifted his hand to knock, but put it down again, taking a deep breath. It was then the door swung open to reveal someone you could only assume was Quinn's mother.

"Can I help you?" Sebastian felt Judy Fabray's eyes judge him, scrutinizing his outfit choice and the amount of gel in his hair.

"Hi, I'm Sebastian Smythe, I'm here to pick Quinn up" He held a hand out. Judy reluctantly took it.

"Oh. Hang on, I'll go get her" Judy took a few steps backwards towards the stairs, calling her daughter's name. Sebastian's breath caught in his throat as Quinn descended the stairs.

"You look beautiful" he smiled, his eyes roaming. Quinn blushed, pulling at the baby-blue dress and fiddling with her hair.

"Quinnie, you didn't tell me you were going out tonight" Judy hissed.

"I'll be home by 11 mom"

"But your father-"

"My father hasn't spoken to me in nearly a year, he can wait an extra couple of hours" Quinn spat back, determined for Sebastian not to hear her. "Bye" she waved, taking the arm Sebastian held out to her and heading towards his car. She blushed lightly as he opened the door for her, unable to subdue the grin plastered on her face. "So what are we doing tonight?"

"I figured we could go for dinner at Breadstix? If that's ok with you?" Sebastian felt his palms begin to sweat, but immediately shook it off. He's Sebastian Smythe, he doesn't get nervous, especially not over a girl.

"Of course" Quinn smiled, lightly biting down her rosy lip. Small talk easily filled the journey to Breadstix, they felt comfortable in each other's presence. Sebastian took her hand as they strolled into the most popular restaurant in Ohio, but felt her stiffen next to him. He followed her eyeline to see a group of high school students, probably the same age as them, enjoying a meal. Quinn cursed under her breath. She had forgotten it was the opening night of West Side Story and they'd all be out celebrating. She relaxed suddenly when Sebastian squeezed her hand.

"Do you wanna go somewhere else?" his minty breath tickled her ear.

"No, no. It's ok" she smiled, following the waiter towards a secluded table in the corner. They swiftly fell back into a conversation, laughing and joking.

"Hey Quinn" Quinn and Sebastian tore their eyes from each other momentarily to look up and find Finn Hudson glaring at them, skeptically.

"Sup MILF" Noah Puckerman nodded, leaning his arm on the table.

"Finn, Puck" she nodded, glaring at them to go away.

"Aren't you gonna introduce us to your friend?" Finn smiled, and Quinn could've killed him.

"Guys, this is Sebastian, he's a Warbler from Dalton. Seb, this is Finn and Puck from McKinley" she nervously bit her lip as they shook hands.

"It's really good to meet you guys, but if you don't mind this is kinda a date so…" Sebastian sensed Quinn's anger, and felt his own build up. He didn't know what their problem was, but he didn't like it.

"No, of course, we just wanted to see our old friend Quinn. I'm sure she'll tell us all about you, and our history, when we've gone" Finn smiled at Quinn, who glared back at him.

"Goodbye Finn. Puck."

"Ok come on puffy nipples, leave the Dalton kids to it" Santana pulled Finn away, offering Quinn a smile, but the damage had already been done.

"History?" Sebastian prompted. Oh shit.
