Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters. Blaine and Kurt belong to Glee, while the rest of the characters belong to the amazingness of CP Coulter.

Author's note: Just as a foreword; I don't know if I have made it clear in previous chapters, but the Dalton gang have met the New Directions before. I'm getting excited, because this chapter id going to be so much fun to write, and the next one is the one I've been looking forward to writing. I've been doing heaps of research for it. So, remember to review for me, and enjoy! xx

Reed followed Kurt and Blaine, who were hand in hand, down to the main campus at Dalton.

Evan, Ethan, David and the rest of the Windsor's were still in the dorm, they didn't have much interest in the fair because they'd been every year, whereas seeing as it was Kurt's first time, he insisted that Blaine would come down early with him, and Reed excitedly tagged along.

As the three boys walked down the footpath in the early morning haze, Reed scratched the back of his head awkwardly.

"Hey, um…" Reed scrunched up his nose, "is that uh, Sam kid gonna be here?"

Kurt laughed and shook his head, "not gay."

"Really?" He exclaimed, "I could have sworn!"

"I know right?"

"And with the blonde hair, surely-"

"Nope!"

Kurt laughed, "But I'll tell you what, there's this new guy Rory, he's just recently joined the Glee club, which is why he's coming along today. Rachel said the was fairly sure he's gay."

"Oh, what's he like?"

'Umm…" Kurt thought for a moment, "Irish."

"Hm" Reed pulled a pensive expression, and then shrugged, "could happen."

"Oh come on, an Irish accent?" Blaine chimed in.

Reed looked offended, "Irish accents are cute!"

Just then, the three of them walked around the corner and came to a halt.

"Oh… wow!" Kurt's eye's widened.

Blaine smiled, "Yeah, the staff pulls together an amazing job every year.

"I think they may have even out-done themselves this time." Reed said.

The usually large empty oval near the side of Dalton grounds was filled with dozens of little stalls. Kurt could spot clothes store, places selling honey, doing face paint, portraits, fairy floss, popcorn, there were so many little colourful canvas stalls, that Kurt was sure with all the shops, you could find pretty much everything you could need here. At the back of the huge grass area was a small stage, and a few rides – a chair ride, a merry go round – and at the very back, towered a huge roller coaster.

Kurt squealed. "Oh my goodness, we have to do everything!" Kurt ran forward, dragging Blaine along behind him, who gave Reed a panicked look before laughing. Reed smiled and ran along with them.

Reed and Blaine came down the stairs from the roller coaster, and met with Kurt, who was getting a facial done at one of the stalls after previously having said that 'him and heights just did not agree.'

Kurt was all finished with his facial when Blaine and Reed came stumbling over to him, bright-eyed and grinning broadly.

"That was brilliant" Blaine waved his arms around in the air.

"You'd think after the 4th time you both went on it, you'd start to get bored of it." Kurt raised an eyebrow.

"No way!" Reed was positively beaming, "it's too much fun to get sick of."

Kurt looked down at his watch, "Oh! They should be here by now!" He started off towards the main entrance gates.

Reed and Blaine followed him though all the people. The fair was getting a lot more crowded now that it was getting toward 11 o'clock.

Kurt spotted Finn's head poking up over the crowd at the gate and went towards it. As he got closer, he could see Rachel, Puck, Mercedes, Brittany, Sam, the whole group and… that must be Rory.

Mercedes saw him and smiled, running straight over to squeeze him in a tight hug.

As she set him down, Blaine and Reed wondered over and said hello to the group.

Rachel came over and hugged Kurt quickly, before making introduction, "Kurt! This is Rory. He's quite new to the Glee club, and he's staying with Brittany as a transfer from Ireland."

"Hi," Kurt shook hands with him. Rory was quite small, no taller than Blaine, and he had a brown hair and a smile that looked like it belonged on a cheesy TV ad. "I'm Kurt, and this is my boyfriend Blaine," he nodded to his right, "and Reed."

"Nice to meet you, I've heard all about this school. Brittany told me it was a place where they keep the Dolphins," The Irish accent was definitely obvious, and very strong.

Rory shook hands with Blaine and then with Reed, and Kurt noticed that he gave Reed a funny little smile as he did so, and Reed looked down and blushed a little.

"It's true though," Brittany stated, "This place is like a castle for unicorns and dolphins. It's so magical."

Everyone looked at Britt a little oddly, and Santana patted her arm. Finn cleared his throat, "anyway, do any of you dudes wanna go on the roller coaster with Rory, cos he wants to go on it, but the rest of us wanna get something to eat."

"Yeah, I'm starved," Puck joined in.

"I'll go" Reed chirped, "It is the best roller coaster ever, seriously, you are going to love it."

Reed turned to walk off, and Rory followed close on his heal, smiling fondly at him.

Kurt nudged Blaine in the rib, who turned to him, biting his lip to refrain from laughing, and raised his eyebrows.

"Mm?" Kurt grinned, "reckon it'll go somewhere?"

"Probably" Blaine was chuckling, "but can we eeeaaat? I didn't have any breakfast because you were too busy pushing me out the door."

Kurt rolled his eyes and grabbed Blaine's hand, "Come on then."

"So, how's it going you two?" Mercedes winked at Kurt and Blaine while the group sat on one of the benches on grounds and munched on the hot potato chips they bought from one of the stalls.

Blaine smiled cockily and squeezed Kurt's thigh, who jumped up and smacked Blaine's hand away.
"Stop it! There's no way you're getting any action tonight if you keep doing that in front of all our friends."

Tina, Mercedes and Rachel giggled and blushed, Artie and Mike grimaced, Finn had an extremely confused look on his face, and the 'unholy trinity' - as Kurt liked to call them - Quinn, Santana and Brittany, were deep in conversation with Puck about skirts or something. After a quick glance, Kurt also noticed that Brittany and Santana were holding hands. He smiled faintly. Good for them.

"That good, hey?" Rachel laughed, snapping Kurt out of his thoughts about lesbian colonies and back to Blaine's inappropriateness.

"I don't get it… what action?" Finn had that goofy look on his face he got when he didn't understand something that was usually a little less innocent for his mind.

Mike patted him on the shoulder.

"It's okay Finn… your half brother is just playing chess with Blaine." Artie smiled sarcastically.

Kurt glared at him, and Brittany turned and said, "I totally had a dream about that last night. It was so unicorn."

Blaine looked at her oddly, and was about to ask her what the whole unicorn thing was about, when he was interrupted by voices yelling out.

"WHITE QUEEN!" Every one turned to see Evan and Ethan running towards them, excitement written all over their faces.

Brittany jumped up and smiled, clapping her hands together, "Tweedles!" She exclaimed, "where have you been?"

The twins got down on the ground and bowed to Brittany, "Our humble apology, your highness," Evan said, "We beg your royalty's forgiveness."

Kurt could tell that everyone sitting there were either raising their eyebrows or rolling their eyes.

"Rise, my favourite blonde ones." Brittany stood with her chin up in the air, chest sticking out.

The tweedles scrambled up, and ran at Britt, picking her off the ground and spinning her round in circles.

Brittany laughed with enjoyment as they put her back down. She then grabbed Santana by the hand, who sighed, but went with her and the twins as they bounded off toward the merry-go-round, babbling something about the royal fair and the white rabbit forgetting to wake them up earlier.

Puck and Quinn then got up to grab some coffee from the little bakery that was set up on the other side of the oval, and Mike and Artie said they were going to check out some of the places that were selling X-box games, and Tina followed along.

"Blaine." Rachel smiled, "I think it's about time we caught up properly."

"…you're not going to try and kiss me again, are you?" Blaine looked slightly panicked.

Kurt smiled and Rachel laughed, "Of course not, silly! That was merely a song-writing tool. Anyway, I think that you and I should sing a duet together later on today on the stage…"

They wondered off together, arms linked, and Blaine gave Kurt one last wink before the two of them disappeared out of sight.

Kurt sighed as he watched Blaine's ass as he walk away.

"My god, when are you guys going to get married?" Mercedes squealed.

Kurt turned to gape at her.

"The air is like, stuffy with lust and love when you two sit together, I swear" Mercedes nodded.

"Well, I guess this is the real thing, hey?" Kurt was still watching where he last saw Blaine.

"Duh!" Mercedes cried out, "You are SO lucky, Kurt! You've found him. You've found the one."

Kurt laughed and turned to look at her fondly. His grin was infectious, "Aw, Cedes, you'll find someone, I know it."

Mercedes smiled at him, and then skipped over to sit next to him and she rested her head on his shoulder, "hey Boo, remember how we met?"

Kurt looked around at the long corridors of his new school. He didn't like being at this new school, he was just getting used to his old one at Greenwood, but since him and his Dad moved to Lima since his mom... Kurt blinked - no. This is your first day here. Don't let them see you cry - His Dad told him that he had to go elementary school here, and that everything would be okay.

Kurt noticed that adults said that a lot. It was weird; they were all so keen on making him know that the world was good. But he already knew that it wasn't - otherwise it wouldn't have taken his mom.

As he was 8, this was his third year in school, and he already hated it. All the other kids would always pick on him, because his voice was a lot higher than most of the boy's.

As he wondered down the hallway, and found where he had to put his bag down, he placed it on the ground, and wondered into his classroom. The gold plate bolted to the wall outside the classroom read, 3.2. Kurt was standing in the doorway, looking at the carpeted room with rows of tables and chairs facing a large chalk board at the front of the room, when he was hit from behind with so much force that he went face-first into the carpeted floor in front of him.

"Hey!" he heard a boy's voice yelling, "watch where you stand!"

Kurt turned over to see the voice coming from a large boy with short slightly-curly brown hair, and a dark-skinned boy, who when he saw Kurt, laughed, "Ew, Dave, he looks like a girl!"

"I… I'm" Kurt stammered.

"Oh my god, he sounds like a girl too!" Dave tapped his friend on the shoulder.

The two boys laughed at Kurt before turning around and walking away.

As Kurt tried to pull himself up, a small black girl with wild, curly short hair and a round, kind face rushed into the room to help him up.

"Here, lemme help you." The girl helped him brush himself off.

"Thankyou…" Kurt looked up at her, "I don't know what was wrong with them."

"They're just a bunch of meany bullies," the little stranger stuck her tongue out, "they have something wrong with them," she replied, "They were all born without their brains inside their heads."

Kurt laughed.

The curly-haired girl stuck her tiny hand out, "I'm Mercedes Jones."

"Kurt Hummel."

They shook hands, and then Mercedes took his hand and lead him over to sit in one of the plastic seats and sat down in one next to him.

"So, are we in the same class then?" Kurt looked at her hopefully, it would be nice to know someone that he could sit with for the year.

A wave of relief washed over him as Mercedes nodded and smiled at him, putting her backpack down next to her.

"Is that a Barbie bag? That's limited edition!" Kurt stared at the accessory and Mercedes grinned.

"Yep, my Pa gave it to me for my birthday. So how come you're new this year?" Kurt's new friend asked, and he noticed that she had big, warm brown eyes.

"Oh, well I just recently moved here with my Dad." He responded happily. He liked having a friend he could share things with.

"What about your Momma?" Mercedes asked.

Kurt swallowed and looked down, "She… She's in heaven."

"Oh," Mercedes patted him on the knee with her little hand, "I've got something that might make you happy."

Kurt looked up at her, and she leant over to her little pink barbie bag, and reached into one of the pockets. After searching for a few seconds, she pulled out smaller bag and set it down on her desk, unzipping it.

She opened the case, and pulled out a blonde Barbie doll.

She gave the doll to Kurt, "Her name's Tiff."

"She's beautiful," Kurt said.

"I named her after my puppy, Pa had to take her to the farm, though."

"Oh," Kurt's dad took his pet rabbit to the farm a few years ago, "you must miss her."

"Yeah," Mercedes said as she started taking out all the Barbie's shoes, "it's okay though, me and my brother write letters to her every year, and Dad posts them to the farm that she's at."

Kurt removed the shoes off of Tiff's feet, and replaced them with a pair of green ones.

"These shoes match her outfit better, see?"

He pointed out to Mercedes who looked at the shoes with wide eyes, "Oh, yeah."

They spent the rest of time until class started co-ordinating outfits for the doll.

I hope you enjoyed that, it was so much fun to write. Maybe I'll do some more flashback scenes if you liked that. The next chapter will be coming out real soon, seeing as I'm really excited to write it. Leave me a review, and I'll see you soon. xx
