"Dude that was a foul!" Puck yelled at Sam as they played a game of one on one in Sam's front yard.

"Hey, DUDE" being sarcastic, "Stop your whining and just shoot." Sam growled getting frustrated cause Puck was always trying to start some mess.

As Puck came charging towards the hoop he came to a sudden stop. "Damn! Who's that sexy ass momma?" Puck asked.

Sam looked shrugged his shoulder "I don't kn-" he stopped in mid-sentence and took a second look "Cedes is that you?" he yelled across the yard.

"Sam!" Mercedes cried excitedly. "Give me a minute I'll be right over."

Puck looked toward Sam, "Man who's that and can I get her digits?"

Sam already getting protective of Mercedes furrowed his brow and shook his head, "Nah man, just back it right up…" pointing to Mercedes, "She not the one." Sam said staking his claim on her, "Her…over there…isn't for you."

"Okay man, I get it hand's off." Puck balked raising his hands in the air while taking a few steps back.

If I would've knew the girl next door
Would've been you
I would've been nice to you
A little more kind to you
I would've looked twice at you
If I would've knew the girl next door
Would've been you
I probably would've shared my grub
Depending on how close we was
By now we would be so in love

Mercedes came strolling across the yard, looking stunning in her skinny jeans that was hugging her curves just right, black loose fitted tank with a wife beater t-shirt underneath making her breast pop for attention, hair pulled into a high pony tail with loose curls flowing from it and light natural make-up. Causal yet beautiful, Sam thought. Sam grabbed Mercedes and pulled her into a huge bear hug and kissed her on her cheek.

Mercedes squealed, "Ugh! Sam your all sweaty." looking at Sam 'Fine as all outdoor, but sweaty.' she thought to herself.

Sam took it upon himself to tease her more and nuzzle his face into her neck.

Mercedes let out another loud squeal.

Clearing his throat Puck said, " Hi, I am Sam's handsome, single and free on Friday's best friend Noah, Noah Puckerman, but you sweet lady can call me yours!" holding out his hand.

Still holding on to Mercedes, Sam slowly raised his head from Mercedes neck to give Puck the stank eye.

Mercedes pried herself away from Sam to shake Pucks' hand, "Hi I am Mercedes Jones," then looked towards Sam still shaking Pucks hand, "I thought I was your best friend." she said with a sad pouty face.

Sam bit his bottom lip and let out a small moan.

Puck then said "I am willing to share if he is," wagging his eyebrows.

"Yeah, you are." Sam said to Mercedes, "I had to acquire some less than entertaining friends while you were gone." Sam smirked while looking at Puck. Pulled Mercedes hand from Pucks and proceeded to put his arm around her.

"Mercedes and I grew up together. We've known each other since we were six. Mercedes here has some serious skills when it comes to basketball." Sam explained to Puck.

"I am sure she has other serious skills too." Puck looked at Mercedes then licked his lips.

Sam let go of Mercedes and slapped Puck across his head. Sam always had a crush on Mercedes but he couldn't let anyone know he was crushing on a girl. Girls were yucky back then. If he would have known she'd turn out as fine as she did he would have not been so mean.

Girl I'm so surprised to see
The young, fine woman that you grew up to be
Your body's banging like a 400SE
Even your attitude flows pleasantly
I remember when you was just Mercedes Jones
A girl that likes to play basketball
As far as I was concern, you were one of my boys
I never cared about my sex or yours

"So are you home from school?" Sam asked

"Yeah, home for the summer one more year to go." Mercedes answered happily.

"Mercedes goes to UCLA majoring in music." Sam said proudly.

"Not only can she play basketball this girl here can sing. She has a wicked set of pipes on her!" Sam said a little too excited wrapping his arm around her once more.

Puck being Puck never give up said in his deep sexy voice, "I would love to hear you sing."

Mercedes giggled as Sam pulled here even closer as he continued to talk, "Like I was saying when we were younger we used to sing to each other all the time. I was crazy about her even then." Sam said looking deep into her chestnut colored eyes.

Mercedes looked at Sam shocked because she had no idea Sam like her like that. She remembers Sam always picking fights with her and they would call each other names, but always made up before they went home.

"We also played characters off t.v. shows when we were smaller." Sam said still looking at Mercedes. "Remember?"

"Yeah we always like to watch the reruns of Jefferson's because the neighbour Tom and Helen Willis was the first interracial couple we saw on t.v. at that time. So we use to play them a lot." she said while giggling. "But you loved to play, Me Tarzan and You Jane" she said in a deep voice trying to mimic him when he was younger.

I'm happy to see
That you're home from school
And I wanna let you know that I'm proud of you
Even when we was younger I admired you
That's why I always used to pick fights with you
I remember when we used to call each other names
Mimic old t.v. shows and play those childish games
Like I was your Tarzan and you were my Jane
Can we do that nowadays?

Mercedes stared at Sam like she was seeing that kid again, realizing know he was crushing on her back then, hitting her, singing to her always making sure she was at all the same birthday parties, game and school events he was at, well him and the boys.

Mercedes always was crushing on Sam but she thought he saw her as one of the boys and his best friend. Mercedes pushed her infatuation for Sam aside when she was younger and became one of the boy's just hangout and kicking it.

Younger Mercedes Jones was a tomboy she played basketball, football and rode dirt bikes with the boys your typical tomboy. She didn't wear dresses or make-up, always in a baseball cap, jeans and a t-shirt.

If I would've knew the boy next door
Would've been you
I would've been nice to you
Spent a little time with you
I would've dressed cuter too
If I would've knew the boy next door
Would've been you
I would've been on your team
When we played hide and seek
Instead of you chasing me

Puck just rolled his eyes wondering 'if he walks away now would either of them notice?' Puck raised an eyebrow, turned and said "Bye" waving his arms, neither one of them noticed. Puck just shook his head and walked away.

Sam and Mercedes now holding each other hands looked so in love with each began to sing hearing the music in her head like when they were younger.

"You're so fly now."

Sam blushed and sang:"Girl stop playing."

Mercedes: "I didn't know you were that guy now."

Sam:"Naw I ain't."

Mercedes:"Phat car, phat life Impressed I am."

Sam sings: "Oh maybe we could jam like we used to baby."

Sam let go of Mercedes hand and put one hand on her waist while slowly circling her looking her up and down singing:

"If I would've knew the boy next door
Would've been you."

Sam, repeating her action:
"If I would've knew the girl next door
Would've been you."

Mercedes:
"If I would've knew the boy next door
Would've been you."

Sam:
"If I would've knew the girl next door
Would've been you."

Mercedes:
"Oh I would've spent a little more time getting to know you
Baby I would've been more gentle."

Sam:
"If I would've knew the girl next door
Would've been you.
I would've been nice to you
A little more kind to you.
I would've looked twice at you.
If I would've knew the girl next door
Would've been you
I probably would've shared my grub
Depending on how close we was
By now we would be so in love."

Sam stared down at Mercedes and said, "Mercedes Jones would you like to go out on a date with me?"

"Yes!" she blushed as a great big grin slowly covered her entire face.
