They slept in a bit the next day. The teachers, normally up at 7ish, got up at 9:00. They ate breakfast, then at 10:00, they woke up the teens with a phone call.
The reception on the other line was, again, not too happy but they all got up, ate a quick breakfast and met in the teacher's condo. They were still drowsy and quiet.
"Good morning!" Shelby chirped.
"Hey" Sam nodded.
"So, what do you want to do today?" Shelby asked them.
"Mini golf!" Santana called. Mercedes clapped with a smile.
"Okay. Anything else?" Beiste asked, from the chair she was sitting on.
"Let's go somewhere" Quinn said.
"Like?" Shelby asked, dragging out the word.
"Like a tourist place. An amusement park, maybe" Quinn looked around at the people.
"I'm in" Rachel nodded.
"Same!" Mike and Puck nodded.
"Well, an amusement park would be a daylong event. Do you want to do it today?" Emma asked them. She had been leaning against the wall.
"I do" Tina nodded.
"I still wanna go mini putting" Santana said, crossing her arms.
"We did say we'd go mini putting" Emma said, looking at Shelby then the teens.
"Okay well, how about mini putting today and amusement park tomorrow?" Shelby asked, looking at Quinn.
"Sure" Quinn nodded with a smile.
"MINI PUTTING!" Mercedes called, creating a loud eruption of cheers, claps and woots.
"I'll call and book a slot for this afternoon" Will said. "Have lunch and we'll go in a few hours.
"Bro, we just ate breakfast" Puck said.
"Bro?" Will asked with an amused smirk.
"Sorry, Mr. Schue" Puck gave a wide and innocent smile. "I think of you as my bro. You're cool."
"Oh...well thanks...hommie" Will responded.
"Ruined it" Sam muttered, making Finn and Blaine laugh hysterically.
"Mr. Schue, don't ever say 'hommie' again. Seriously" Santana said with a straight face. But she smiled at the end.
"What? I'm cool enough to be Puckerman's bro but I can't say hommie?" Will protested.
"Exactly" Santana said. "Never say it again."
"Fine...dawg" Will smiled. "Did you like that?" he looked at Emma. "It was my Randy Jackson impression." All the teenagers groaned and Sam, Rachel and Quinn face-palmed.
"It...was...nice" Emma said, but her laughs were too much to hide.
"Will...no." Beiste shook her head disapprovingly.
"You guys don't know talent when you see it" Will put his hands up.
"Says the director of a glee club" Shelby giggled. "Anyways, we'll go mini putting in a few hours, just eat lunch before then" she said to the teens. They stood up and nodded.
"We're going back to our condo, right girls?" Rachel asked, looking at her female companions, who shrugged and nodded.
"Sure" Tina smiled.
"Okay, well you guys can come over if you want" Rachel looked at the guys.
"Maybe" Puck said. They all walked outside into the hot sunlight.
"It's so hot here" Sugar moaned, shielding her eyes from the sun.
"It's like living in a volcano" Brittany smiled proudly.
"Feels like it" Rachel commented curtly. Mercedes nodded.
The girls stumbled into their condo and collapsed on the floor.
"We got three hours sorta until we go" Quinn informed them.
"Wanna go swimming? At the pool?" Santana sat up so she could see all of them.
"Sure" Tina nodded.
"Are the boys gonna come?" Sugar asked.
"Do we want them to?" Quinn asked, her head tilted.
"Yes!" Mercedes shouted.
"Shut up, Mercedes! You just wanna see Sam shirtless" Rachel laughed.
"Maybe I do...What's wrong with that?" Mercedes asked, sitting up and putting her hands on her hips.
"Nothing. But seriously, are we gonna ask the guys to come too?" Rachel asked.
"Sure, why not?" Santana shrugged.
"Okay fine. But I'm not walking over there to ask them" Tina said shaking her head. "Too hot."
"I'll go" Rachel stood up and fixed her shirt
"Have fun. And don't stop to make out with Finn while you're there" Santana said with a smirk. Rachel made a face but blushed.
"Hurry!" Quinn called as Rachel walked out of the room. Rachel gave a thumbs up and walked down the stairs to the door.
"Oh, good hit" Sam said, pointing to the TV that was on. The guys were watching the sports highlights.
"That's a penalty for sure" Finn nodded.
Behind him, Kurt pretended to ram his head into a wall. Blaine laughed.
KNOCK! KNOCK!
"Door" Puck said, not taking his eyes of the screen.
"I got it!" Kurt yelped and ran out of the room excitedly.
Blaine chucked at his boyfriend's excitement.
Kurt went down the stairs, two at a time, then opened the door.
"Rachel?" He asked.
"Who were you expecting?" She smiled.
"I dunno. Not you" Kurt smiled back.
"Well, it's good to see you too" Rachel strode past him and took of her flip-flops.
"Okay. What are you doing here? Did you come alone?" Kurt looked out the door to see if anyone else was coming.
"Yes I did. And I came to ask if you all wanted to come to the pool" Rachel walked past Kurt and up the stairs. Kurt shut the door and followed her.
"Oh, good thing you are here!" Kurt said. "They are all watching sports on TV. I'm so bored!"
"Well then come swimming with us" Rachel grinned at him.
"Sure!" Kurt clapped his hands happily. "Anything to get me outta here!"
"Yay!" Rachel clapped too. She walked down the hallway to the large room where the guys were hanging out.
"Hey Rachel" Blaine said when she strode in. All the guys turned to look at her. Rachel smiled widely at Finn.
"Hello" she greeted the guys.
"Where's everyone else?" Mike asked, looking behind her.
"It's just me" Rachel smiled. Mike and Puck looked slightly disappointed. "Don't give me that look. Am I not good enough for you?" Rachel asked when she saw Mike and Puck's faces. She was having a hard time holding back her giggles.
"Well, I suppose" Puck winked at her, earning himself a hit from Finn.
"Okay so what are you doing here by yourself?" Sam asked. "Decided to hang with a cool people for once?"
"Oh, Lady Gaga's here?" Rachel asked, eyes bright as she looked around the room jokingly. Kurt laughed and hugged her.
"Nice!" He giggled.
"They deserved it" Rachel laughed. The guys were not amused.
"Oh, Rachel you are SO funny!" Puck said in a high-pitched girly voice. "What an laugh riot!
"Shut it, Puckerman" Rachel rolled her eyes at him. She finds herself saying that often to him.
"So what are you doing here?" Rory asked her, eyebrows raised.
"Well, the girls plus Kurt are going to the pool. Do you all wanna come with?" Rachel asked.
"I will" Blaine raised his hand.
"Awesome" Rachel nodded at him. "Anyone else?"
Finn looked at his watch. "I think we want to see the rest of the sports highlights. It's over at 11:30. We'll come then, okay?"
"That's in 30 minutes" Rachel sighed. "Fine. You are all coming in 30 minutes, then?" She looked to the other guys for answers.
"Yes ma'am" Rory nodded.
"Okay. Kurt, Blaine, get changed and let's go" Rachel turned to them with a smile.
"Okay. Meet you at your condo in ten minutes" Blaine smiled and stood up.
"Sure thing. Bye, guys" Rachel waved and skipped out of the room. She gave one last smile to Finn, who waved and smiled back then turned back to the TV.
Rachel let herself out of the boy's condo. Once again she stepped into the hot sunlight. She walked down the driveway to the sidewalk and then walked past the adults' middle condo. Finally, thirty seconds later, she reached the door of her condo. She opened it and stepped in and became instantly greeted by a cool draft of air thanks to the Air Conditioner that they kept cranked up.
"Rachel? Is that you?" Rachel heard Quinn call when she shut the door.
"Yes!"
"Okay..." Quinn said and Rachel climbed the carpeted stairs and walked in the room. All the girls were already in their bathing suits and waiting.
"Took you long enough" Brittany said with a slight frown.
"Sorry?" Rachel said. "I wasn't that long."
"Whatever. Are they coming to the pool?" Santana asked as she finished braiding Brittany's hair.
"Uh, right now only Blaine and Kurt are. In half an hour the rest of them will come too" Rachel shrugged.
"Why? What are they doing now?" Sugar asked with a scowl.
"Watching sports highlights or something" Rachel rolled her eyes.
"Ew. Seriously?" Sugar asked. Rachel nodded.
"Hurry up and get changed. We wanna go" Tina said to Rachel who was the only person in normal clothes.
"You all go on without me. I won't get lost" Rachel smiled and walked to the other smaller room where the luggage was stored. "And call the teachers to let them know, too!"
"Oh, true. Thanks" Tina nodded and grabbed the phone. Rachel dug through her suitcase until she found her new blue bikini. It took a while to find, because of all the things she brought, and the fact that her bag was messy.
"We're going, okay Rach?" Mercedes called from the door.
"Yup! See you in a few!" Rachel called as she tied the back straps of her bathing suit. She heard the door slam and their voices slowly fade away.
She then felt oddly lonely. She'd been by herself many many times, but never in a large empty condo in Florida. She didn't know whether to be scared or happy. Either way, she rushed. She quickly found her comb and combed through her long brown hair. She tied it back tightly and found her towel. As she put on the last of her sunscreen, she heard a faint knock at the door.
"Coming!" Rachel screamed so the knockers could hear. She knew it was Kurt and Blaine. She grabbed her bag and ran to the door.
"Hello!" Rachel greeted as she opened the door. Warm smiles greeted her back as well.
"Ready?" Blaine asked.
"Yup" Rachel slipped on her flip-flops and stepped out the door, shutting it behind her.
"Where's everyone else?" Kurt asked.
"Why am I not good enough by myself for anyone?" Rachel complained with a pout.
"Nonsense!" Blaine put his arm around her. "We love you!"
"Yeah!" Kurt chirped with a smile. Rachel blushed and hugged Kurt and Blaine.
"Love you too!" She smiled.
"But seriously, where are they?" Kurt asked.
Rachel laughed. "They are already there."
"Did you let them or did they ditch you?" Blaine asked with a grin.
"I let them" Rachel assured him.
"Good" Blaine smiled. "So how do you like Florida?"
Rachel and the two boys stepped off the curb and onto the road. "I love it. It's so nice and relaxing!"
"I agree. Plus the beaches are gorgeous" Kurt sighed.
"I know. It only makes me want to leave Ohio even more!" Rachel exclaimed.
"Less than a year to go" Blaine said. "For you guys, anyway."
"Aww, Blaine!" Rachel said sadly. "I'll miss you next year! And you know Kurt will even more!"
"I know. I'll miss you guys too" Blaine shrugged. "But it's only a year..." he looked at Kurt. Kurt was staring at the ground sadly. "Kurt..." Blaine started. Kurt looked up and Rachel remained quiet.
"What?" Kurt asked, his face turning a bit red.
"You're...quiet" Blaine said slowly, looking into Kurt's eyes.
"It's just that...there's no guarantee that Rachel or I will ever get out of Ohio. NYADA may reject us. Then what?" Kurt asked slowly, looking into Blaine's eyes then glancing at Rachel.
"Then...you'll be closer to me" Blaine gave a sideways smile.
"Kurt...you are amazing! Why wouldn't NYADA take you?" Rachel looked up at him.
"Because I can say that there are people who are better than me" Kurt answered.
"Okay, you know what?" Blaine said suddenly. Kurt and Rachel looked at him. The pool was about thirty meters away now and the girls' shrieks could be heard.
"This has got to stop now!" Blaine said, frowning a bit, but his eyes were wide. "You guys are amazing singers and NYADA will love you and you'll go to New York and love it. And I'll be finishing school in Ohio and be missing you like crazy but after that year, I'll come join you and we'll all live happily ever after. And if for some weird reason that one or both of you doesn't get into NYADA, then we'll have to make other plans. But either way it'll still be fun and we'll all still love each other. Now, we are on vacation in Florida with all our best friends and I really don't want to be thinking about the sad things in life and neither do you!" Blaine finished. He looked at his boyfriend and friend. They were staring at him in awe and shock.
"Yes." Rachel said simply. She put an arm around each of them and pulled them into a hug. "Thank you Blaine. You are a good motivator."
"Thanks" Blaine said, but it was muffled by the tight hug.
"I love you both" Kurt whispered, his eyes tearing up.
"Same" Blaine smiled. "Now let's go swimming."
"Yes. Otherwise they'll think I really did get lost" Rachel rolled her eyes and smiled.
They walked into the gates of the pool area. The girls were all wet and in the water, but none of them noticed the three newcomers. Brittany was diving in. She jumped off, her blonde braid bouncing. Then she gracefully dove into the water. It was an almost perfect dive.
"Woah, Brittany!" Kurt said as her blonde head came to surface, amazed at the dive.
Everyone turned their heard at the sound of Kurt's voice.
"Thank you, Kurt!" Brittany smiled widely.
"You got lost, didn't you?" Mercedes demanded with a smile.
"Maybe we did!" Rachel retorted to her friend and set down her towel and bag on a plastic chair.
"Naw, we are just slow walkers" Blaine smiled and kicked off his foot-wear.
"Suuuuure" Tina smiled and did a hand-stand in the shallow end of the pool.
Rachel, Kurt and Blaine all got into the water slowly.
"It's cold!" Rachel whined as she clung on to Kurt's arm. Kurt held to Blaine's hand and the three of them slowly walked into the shallow end.
"Brrr yes it is!" Blaine muttered as they took another small step.
"Oh, come on it's not that bad!" Santana said with a laugh.
"Yea, once you're in, it's nice" Sugar said, floating on her back. She kicked her left foot and water jumped up and sprayed Rachel and Kurt.
"Ahhh!" Rachel said as the cold water hit her.
Sugar stood up and looked at Quinn with a smirk. Quinn nodded and looked at Santana and she looked at Mercedes. The next thing Kurt, Rachel and Blaine knew was that all the girls were slowly moving closer to them with evil grins on their faces.
"Oh no" Kurt muttered to Rachel and Blaine as they all moved even closer.
"Ready?" Tina asked. They all positioned their hands and nodded. "Go!"
And they all splashed. Water was flying at Kurt, Rachel and Blaine like rain, completely soaking them.
"AHHHHHHH" Kurt and Rachel screamed at the top of their voices. Blaine ducked behind Kurt and tried to splash back.
"We're already wet so splashing back isn't going to do much to us, Blaine!" Quinn taunted and moved so she could get a better aim at Blaine.
"Please stop" Rachel begged, as water came flying at here still.
"Ahhhh" Kurt screamed as water dripped down his face. "It's so c-cold!"
Finally when the three of them were completely wet, Mercedes spoke up.
"Okay, guys that's enough. They're wet enough" Mercedes said, seeing that Kurt was near tears. The girls stopped their splash attack and stepped back.
Rachel shook her head, sending water droplets flying. Kurt rubbed his eyes and fixed his hair.
"Not nice, guys" Blaine said, shaking his wet curly hair.
"But it was fun" Tina gave a large grin. Rachel sneered at her.
"You people are mental" Rachel muttered with a frown.
"Yes, but you love us" Mercedes gave a cute smile.
"Sometimes I question that" Kurt said. Rachel shook her head again and dove underwater. Because of the insane splashing, the water was warmer.
"Did anyone bring the ball?" Brittany asked a few minutes later.
"I think the boys have it" Quinn said. She looked at Blaine, who shook his head.
"I don't think so...Kurt do you know?" Blaine shrugged and looked at Kurt.
"I have no idea..." Kurt said.
"I know where it is" Tina said. She swam to the edge of the pool and hoisted herself out of the water. She walked to the chairs, leaving a trail of wet footprints on the gray ground. She went over to the plastic chairs where a multitude of bags were carelessly tossed. She picked up a large red one and rummaged though it. Finally, Tina held up the orange ball that they had a few days ago.
"Yaaay!" Brittany clapped her hands and cheered.
"Why do you have it?" Quinn asked.
"I stole it from the guy's condo the other day" Tina smiled, obviously proud of herself.
"Nice" Quinn smiled and held her hands so she could catch the ball. Tina tossed it to her and Quinn caught it perfectly.
"Let's play Keep The Ball In The Air" Rachel said.
"Great name" Santana rolled her eyes
"I dunno. It's just what it's called" Rachel said matter-of-factly.
"Sure, I'll play" Sugar said moving towards them.
"Me too" Mercedes said.
"Okay. Pass the ball around and if you miss you're out. And you can only hit it twice then it has to move on" Quinn said. They arranged themselves in a large circle and Quinn hit the ball to Kurt. They passed the pall around for about five minutes without fail. Finally, Tina hit it to Sugar, but Sugar just missed it.
"Aww!" Sugar pouted.
"You're out!" Kurt called with a grin.
"Not fair" Sugar whined.
"Save it for the sidelines" Santana said smugly.
Sugar frowned and swam wadded over to the wall of the pool. Soon Tina, Kurt, Mercedes, Santana and Quinn joined her.
"It's so on" Brittany said to Blaine and Rachel, her only opponents left.
"Mmhmmm" Rachel stared into Brittany's innocent eyes. Rachel grabbed the ball and hit it to Blaine, who smacked it back to her. Rachel hit it to Brittany, who carefully hit it back to Blaine. The rally continued for a while until Brittany hit it to Rachel, and it went over her head.
"Hey! That was too high for me!" Rachel said, looking at Blaine for support and then at the eliminated group at the side.
"I just thought of like 20 great height jokes" Santana whispered to Quinn, who smirked.
"I refuse to be out" Rachel said stomping her foot, but no one noticed because it was underwater.
"Well too bad" Sugar said. She motioned for Rachel to come over. Rachel shook her head and didn't move. Blaine grabbed the ball and then threw it at the water right next to her.
"There. Now you're out" Blaine smirked.
"What? I didn't even know we were playing!" Rachel screeched.
"Well too bad" Brittany said. "Now it's just me and Kurt's dolphin."
"I hate you, Blaine" Rachel frowned as she swam to the wall and stood next to Mercedes.
"Love you too!" Blaine said happily as he hit the ball to Brittany.
"Grrr.." Rachel muttered at watched the rest of the game play out.
Blaine hit it to Brittany who hit it back. It continued for a while, as they were pretty evenly matched.
"Ugh, please one of you fail already!" Quinn said after two minutes of dry rallies.
"Shhh you'll ruin my concentration" Blaine said.
"I drank juice that was concentration this morning" Brittany smiled and gracefully hit the ball.
"What?" Rachel and Mercedes asked at the same time.
"Yeah. The Orange Juice box said it was from concentration" Brittany said happily. No one said anything at first. Then Kurt burst out laughing, followed by everyone else when they finally clued in.
"Why are you laughing?" Brittany asked with a confused frown.
"Brit, the juice is from concentrate. Not concentration!" Kurt said as he laughed. Even Blaine giggled as he hit the round orange ball.
"Isn't that the same thing?" Brittany asked seriously.
"Not at all" Santana snickered. "Oh, Brit, you are too funny."
"Thank you" Brittany smiled and jumped up a bit and tipped the ball to Blaine. The ball flew to Blaine, who made a fist and pounded it back in Brittany's direction. The ball flew back at her and went over her left shoulder. It landed in the water with a light splash.
"Yes!" Blaine screamed and jumped up and down like a child. "Yes! Yes! I won!"
"Awww..." Brittany looked like she was about to cry.
"Wooooooo!" Blaine cheered and the girls at the side clapped and cheered. Finally Blaine regained his composure.
"Good game, Brit" Blaine said. He wadded up to the blonde and hugged her. She hugged him back.
"You were fun to play against" She smiled.
"Hey!" they heard several male voices shout. They turned to see the rest of the guys walking into the pool area.
"Hello" Tina called with a smile. The boys dropped their towels and jumped into the pool, creating several large splashes. Artie's raft was blown up again and the girls helped him in.
"Did you enjoy your sports?" Mercedes asked Rory who swam up next to her.
"Yes we did. Nothing better than American sports!" Rory laughed.
"Clothes. Clothes are better than sports!" Kurt called from behind Rory.
"Yes!" Mercedes highfived Kurt with a grin.
"Not even close" Sam shook his head as he approached them. "Sports rule!"
"What? No, clothes ar-" Kurt began to argue back but he was cut off by a loud call.
"SHARKS AND MINNOWS!" Finn called to everyone in the pool.
"Ooh, yay!" Sugar cheered.
RING!
"Someone get that!" Santana screamed over the loud sound of her blow-dryer.
"What? I can't hear you!" Rachel yelled. Her blow-dryer was on too.
"Quiet down, I got it" Quinn said. Her hair was already dry. Her short hair made drying hair much quicker. "Hello?"
"Hello!" Emma said in a cheery voice.
"Oh, hey" Quinn said.
"Mr. Schue booked us a mini putting spot for 2:00. So make sure you are all at the bus by 1:45, okay?" Emma said slowly.
"Uhhh, yup. Okay" Quinn said. She glanced at the clock. It was 1:07.
"Great! Bye."
"See you soon." Quinn hung up the phone.
"Who was that?" Mercedes asked as she strolled into the room.
"Ms. Pillsbury" Quinn said. "We have to eat something."
"Yea, I'm starving" Mercedes exclaimed.
"Me too" Tina said as she skipped in the large room. "I'll make some grub."
"Rice?" Mercedes asked hopefully. Tina had made her some Asian rice one time and it was so good.
"You want rice?" Quinn asked Mercedes.
"Yes! Tina makes this really good Asian rice" Mercedes' grin grew even bigger.
"Okay. Rice it is" Tina giggled and walked into the kitchen to get started.
"Yo!" Puck called as he put down the phone. The guys were already dry and watching more TV.
"What?" Mike asked from his bed where he lay.
"We gotta go in like 45 minutes so we have to eat" Puck said.
"Okay..." Artie nodded. Mike and Puck looked at Kurt.
"Hey, Kurt..." Mike started with a warm smile.
Kurt held up his hand. "Don't even start." He knew where this was going. Lunch. "Yes, I'll make lunch."
"Awesome, thanks bro!" Puck gave him props and plopped down on his bed.
Kurt rolled his eyes and stood up. He smoothed down the front of his grey shirt. Then he looked at Blaine, who was sitting down on his bed cross-legged. Blaine looked up at him with a smile.
"Yes?" Blaine asked and blinked.
"Come help me?" Kurt gave him his best puppy face. "Please?"
"Well...sure!" Blaine stood up and took Kurt's hand. "What are we making?"
"Mac and cheese." Kurt said. "I went through the cupboards and there's a bunch of that stuff."
"Yum" Blaine smiled. They walked into the kitchen.
"Take like 6 boxes of mac and cheese mix out of that cupboard" Kurt instructed, pointing to a cream door. He pulled out a large pot and set it on the stove. Blaine walked over with an armful of boxes.
"Here."
"Thanks" Kurt ripped open the boxes and dumped them in the pot. Blaine got out milk. After a while, the pasta was left to cook. Kurt set the timer on the stove and sat down at the table. Blaine sat at the head of the table, next to Kurt.
"So..." Blaine said. Kurt remained quiet and gazed out the window at the palm trees. "Hello? Earth to Kurt!"
"Wha-?" Kurt snapped back to life. "Oh, sorry" he blushed sheepishly.
"Penny for your thoughts?" Blaine laughed.
"Just thinking. Florida is so nice. If New York doesn't work out for me, maybe I'll move here" Kurt smiled.
"Sounds nice. I'll like that" Blaine nodded.
"You?" Kurt looked at him with a smile.
"Yeah! I'd come with you where ever you go" Blaine grinned.
"Aw, you're too sweet" Kurt smiled.
"I know" Blaine smiled. He put his hand on Kurt's. "But Florida won't be necessary because New York will work just fine."
"Hmm" Kurt nodded slowly and looked back out the window.
"So, you any good at mini putting?" Blaine asked with a smile, in an attempt to lighten the mood because he could tell Kurt was a bit upset.
"I don't know. Never tried it" Kurt laughed. "Is it like normal golf? Do we have to wear hideous pants? Because if we do, I'm not going."
Blaine laughed. Leave it to Kurt to worry about golf pants. "No it's not like normal golf. It's much more fun. Plus everything is miniature."
"So the perfect size for you?" Kurt smirked.
"Oh, very funny" Blaine stuck his tongue out at Kurt.
"Are you any good at it?" Kurt asked.
"Well, if you mean always beating the Warblers, then yes!" Blaine said with a proud nod.
"You always won?" Kurt asked, a bit skeptical.
Blaine nodded. "Like a boss!"
"Don't say that" Kurt made a funny face. "You aren't gangster enough." He stood up because the timer was beeping. Kurt added the orange mix to the pasta and stirred it.
"I am so gangster!" Blaine gasped.
"What the heck...?" Sam asked as he casually walked in with a slightly disturbed face.
"Sam! Am I gangster?" Blaine asked with wide eyes.
"Ummm... Sure?" Sam asked. Kurt rolled his eyes.
"See? Told you!" Blaine smiled and got out bowls for Kurt.
"Just because Sam said so doesn't make you gangster" Kurt said as he scooped the mac and cheese into the bowls.
"Why? Am I not gangster?" Sam asked.
"No" Kurt said simply.
"Ouch..." Sam said but quickly forgot about it when he took his bowl of food.
"Food's ready!" Blaine yelled so the guys in the other room could hear.
"Yay!" They heard Finn exclaim.
"Rice is ready!" Tina called. The girls all ran into the kitchen and took a seat. Tina carried the pan with rice in it to the table.
"Oooh, looks good!" Rachel said and licked her lips.
They all took plates and served themselves.
"Delish!" Santana said with her mouth full of rice.
"Thanks!" Tina said with a blush.
"Girls, we gotta hurry. We have like 20 mins until we have to go" Sugar said as she finished her rice.
"Oh, true" Mercedes said. She got up and poured herself some milk and drank it.
"You have a milk mustache" Rachel giggled at Mercedes.
"Really?" Mercedes laughed and looked at her reflection in the microwave door. "Wow. I look good with a mustache!"
The girls howled with laughter. "You know what?" Tina asked when she could speak again.
"What?" Rachel asked.
"Sam should see this!" Tina announced. She pulled out her phone and quickly took a picture of Mercedes and her mustache.
"What? No!" Mercedes yelped and tried to grab the phone.
"Yes!" Santana said.
"Click...Attach...Send! Done!" Tina smiled and pocketed her phone.
"For real?" Mercedes asked, trying to hide her amusement.
"Yes m'am!" Tina laughed.
"Ugh my life is over!" Mercedes rolled her eyes and grabbed a napkin to remove the mustache before anymore damage was done.
"Hey Finn" Blaine said, between mouthfuls of food.
"Yeah?" Finn's mouth was full.
"Am...am I gangster?" Blaine asked starting at Finn.
"Oh my gosh are you still hung up on that?" Kurt asked, both amused and amazed.
"I just wanna know" Blaine retorted with a smirk. He turned back to Finn. "Am I?"
"I suppose..." Finn said. "Okay..."
"What about you Artie? Do you think I am gangster?" Blaine asked.
"No." Artie said. "Sorry, but no."
"Puck?" Blaine glanced at him.
"Sorta?" Puck shrugged and shoveled more food in his mouth.
"See, Kurt? I am so gangster!" Blaine said.
"Woah. Do I sense a little lovers spat here?" Puck asked with a crooked grin.
"No" Kurt said firmly. Both he and Blaine shook their heads.
"Not at all" Blaine smiled his confirmation.
"We are just having a very creative discussion" Kurt smiled too.
"On how gangster Blaine is?" Mike asked.
"Correct" Blaine said. "But I think the creative discussion is over, because it is decided, I am very gangster."
"No" Kurt stated.
"Yes."
"Whatever floats your boat" Kurt smirked and stood up.
Blaine opened his mouth to reply, but Sam's phone vibrated loudly on the wood table.
Sam picked it up and pressed a few buttons.
"Who's it fro-" Artie asked, but then Sam burst into laughter.
His face turned red as he laughed like crazy. Kurt glanced at Finn with a confused look. Finn shrugged and they all stared at Sam as he continued to laugh hysterically.
"Sam? You gonna tell us why you're laughing so hard?" Puck asked.
"Is he even laughing? I think he's dying. From lack of oxygen" Rory said.
Finally Sam's laughing subsided to a few giggles. He took a few deep breaths then was able to speak.
"I got a picture message from the girls..." Sam began.
"Woah! Lemmie see!" Puck exclaimed.
Sam and Finn gave Puck a weird look.
"It's not what you think it is or whatever" Sam said with a disgusted look on his face. He really didn't want to know what Puck hoped it was.
"What is it then?" Artie asked.
"Here" Sam said, handing the phone to Artie. Artie looked, began to laugh like Sam did and passed it on to Mike next to him.
Soon they were all laughing hysterically, even Kurt. Once they had seen the picture of Mercedes' goofy face and her milk mustache, laughter became impossible to contain.
"Oh, that is to funny!" Kurt breathed.
"Save that one" Finn said pointing to the phone.
"Yeah. For the wedding" Puck smirked.
Sam rolled his eyes, saved the picture and replied to the text.
"Hey Mercedes!" Tina called with excitement.
"What?" Mercedes looked over at her.
"Sam replied to that hot picture we sent him" Tina held up her phone with a smile.
"Ah! Give it to me!" Mercedes said and jumped to grab the phone from Tina. But Tina ducked out of Mercedes' grasp and tossed the phone to Rachel. Rachel caught it and read the message.
She read it then laughed.
"What's it say?" Mercedes asked urgently.
"He sent three pages of 'LOL' then a heart" Rachel said with a grin.
"Great. Just perfect" Mercedes rolled her eyes.
"Guys!" Santana called from the other room. "We have ten minutes!"
"Okay!" Rachel called back.
Eleven minutes later, all the teens were waiting by the bus. Several mustache jokes were already made, making Mercedes blush and roll her eyes. Now they were just waiting for the adults. Finally, their door opened and Beiste came out.
