OK. So I HATE writing about the actors that portray the characters because it completely dilutes my fantasy world that my fav characters are REAL people LOL...but... in my attempt to understand WHAT THE HELL GLEE IS THINKING, I came up with this..

I mean, who wouldn't wanna know what the actual actors were thinking when they come up with season 6?

I don't own Glee. Obviously.

"Where are my curls, Ms. Riley?"

Chord deeply inhaled Amber's scent knowing full well of the ramifications. Who knew lavender and French vanilla was such an aphrodisiac? But as tantalizing as it was, it didn't cease his disproval of the loose straight waves framing her heart shaped face in place of his favorite springy kinks he'd grown to love.

"MY curls are braided away and tucked under these luxurious Peruvian tresses. They'll be back in the spring, Mr. Overstreet." She flipped her silky curls over her jean-jacket clad shoulder and fluttered those damn lashes, jokingly.

Those lashes that cover those deep auburn eyes have infiltrated Chord's dreams for months since filming ended last season (In all honesty, she's been creeping into his day and night dreams since Rocky Horror). Well, them aint the only parts of Ms. Riley's glorious body that made an appearance but Chord was trying to keep his dirty mind PG 13 for the final season's script read.

After inconspicuously readjusting his pants, Chord reached over to pull out Amber's seat before noticing that his normal seat between her and Kevin was already occupied by Matthew.

Our script reads are traditionally seated and organized based on cast interactions meaning characters in relationships sit next to each other, to ease out the reads and edits. Naturally, Chord always gravitated towards Amber since he truly believed Mercedes was Sam's one true love, even when sasquatch creator Ryan continually tore them apart.

"Umm, I think that seats mine." Chord patted Matthew's shoulder, waiting for him to rise from the unofficially assigned chair as Matthew smirked and shook his head.

"You read the rewrites of this upcoming season, right?" Amber looked on, with an unreadable expression, fidgeting with her script and pen.

"Ummm yea of course I have." He hadn't. He never read them in advance. That was a waste of his precious time and besides, it was none of Matt's business, regardless.

"Your seat is right there. " All eyes watched as Matt pointed to the front of the conference room table, near Ryan, Chris, & Lea. The 'breadwinners' of the show usually sat at the front with the creator and director while the rest of us goofed off in the back. The seat next to Lea was vacant.

"Why would I be sitting next to Lea?" Chord's voice trembled as he glared at Amber, waiting for a response that would rebut what he already speculated. Snatching the script off the table, he stalked towards the front table and slouched into the vacant seat. Chord fipped through the pages, stopping where he saw Mercedes name and noticing that his didn't appear with it. He chanced a glance at Amber who simply shrugged before pouting her luscious thick lips, causing poor Chord's own mouth to water.

"So, this is it, guys! Final season! You all know the deal. Let's see how much we can get through today and resume tomorrow."

Ignoring Ryan's intro, Chord continued to flip through the script, finally looking through his scenes and grimaced when he noticed the overly affectionate relationship Sam seemed to develop with Rachel this upcoming season.

What about Mercedes? After years of complaining and demanding that the writers reunite Mercy and Sam, it finally happened last year and seemed to be going well before Ryan pulled his legendary kill switch and broke them up by the end of last season. But there was still hope! They loved each other! It was real! Chord could feel it!

So where the hell was all of this coming from?

"So Chord, you'll be…"

"I object!" Chord's thunderous declaration invoked laughter through the room. He scowled at his cast mates, disregarding his irrational impulse to slap Ryan. He could try to understand the dubious creator's need to add last minute turmoil to the relationship the fans dubbed as Samcedes. However, completely axing it and randomly pairing Sam with Rachel, out of NOWHERE was absurd and Chord wasn't going to stand for it.

And this was Glee's last season! These next couple months would be his last chance to kiss Amber as much as he wanted without her faux opposition!

"Lea, you know I love ya right, babe?" Lea nodded absentmindedly, her focus hadn't been on the show since Cory died. It was clear that her heart was no longer in it to everyone except Ryan. "But this pairing of Sam and Rachel is ridiculous!"

"Chord, I under…" Ryan began to counter but was swiftly cut off by Chord.

"No, you don't! Who here agrees with this? Who here thinks Sam and Rachel should be together?" Chord stared daggers into each face in the room, nodding at the lack of hands in the air. In fact, the only one raised was Ryan's. "My point exactly. This makes NO sense."

"Chord, I get your frustration but this is a fresh idea! Something to shake up the monotony! This pairing has the flair that we honestly haven't seen since..." Ryan peered sadly at Lea as she continued reading over the lines, oblivious to the commotion around her.

"I have to agree with Chord." Amber's voice was close to inaudible but the words rang around the room and danced in Chord's ear.

"I mean, Merecedes has been on this show since the beginning and has only had what? Two love interest? Compared to everyone else's 10?"

The castmates snickered at Amber's comments but nodded in agreement.

Ryan bit the inside of his cheek, visibly thinking of his response to Amber. "Well, as you know, Mercedes is of a different breed. As loving and giving as she is, she only gives her heart to a few."

Amber smiled and spoke more confidently, "That's my point. Sam is the only guy she has ever loved. Why take that away from her? And Sam has went through the entire female cast!" More laughter bounced around the room as the guys gave Chord high fives, which he bashfully accepted. "Why not put him with the only girl he's truly loved and fought for?"

Ryan glanced at the clock, then looked back at the script. "Ok guys. Seriously. Let's just go over the script."

Collective groans filled the air and just as everyone opened their script to begin what would be hours of line reading, Naya threw hers onto the table at Ryan and leaned backwards in her chair, crossing her legs.

"Ryan, I get that what you do isn't easy so I'm gonna try to say this as nicely as I can. This has been the Rachel Berry show since the very beginning. The entire premise has revolved around her, even though you have very obvious breakout stars amongst you." Naya gave herself a once over for emphasis. "I get that Cory's death was not only a huge loss to us all but hit the show's storyline hard but callously pairing two completely contrasting characters together isn't the way you fix it."

"You don't know what…" Ryan's frustration was becoming more evident by the minute.

"You want Berry to have a Happy Ending so you're willing to do whatever you have to do in order to get it! Even if it doesn't make any sense! And that's f*cked up because it's taking away from the development of other characters! What about the fans?!"

"Naya!" No one had noticed Ryan's reddened face until he slammed his palms onto the table.

"Let's read the damn script!" He rubbed his face and glanced at Lea, who smiled weakly back at him.

Chord rolled his eyes but grabbed his pen and began scribbling on one of the pages. He doodled Mercedes + Sam forever on the page detailing the duet his character was to have with Rachel.

If he'd been sitting in his normal seat, he would've seen that Amber was doodling the very same thing.
