Hello All! Just so you know, I just changed my name from zzsarahzz to till the tears stop falling. Hope you enjoy this new fic (:


(Chris Colfer's POV)

Ra-ra ah ah ah, ro-ma ro-ma ma, Gaga oo-la la, want your bad romance.

I was currently driving down the freeway on my way to Ryan's house when my phone started to ring. I looked down from the road, picking up once I read that Amber was calling me.

"Hey babe!" I said, in a chipper tone.

"Hey Chris-eyboo!"

"…Chris-eyboo Amber, really?" I shook my head as I put her on speaker, placing the phone in a compartment next to the dashboard.

"Hey, I called you fluffy-bunny the other day. You should be happy with the upgrade."

"You are very right. I should shut my mouth before the pet names start to regress again." Amber's lovely laugh rang from the other side of the phone, causing me to smile. "So what's up?"

"I was wondering if you knew what this special meeting today is all about. You got the text right?" Amber asked.

Earlier that morning, Ryan had sent a text to the group of us cast members saying:

Hello wonderful cast,
I would like all of you to be at my house at 3:00 PM this afternoon for a special meeting. It's VERY important. I have some exciting things to announce. Also, I need you to clear your schedules for all of next week. There were some last minute changes in the filming schedule and we're going to need to start filming earlier than planned.

"Yeah, ohmygod I was about to ask you the same thing! I thought we weren't supposed to start filming for another two weeks, right?"

"I know! This is definately loco… you sure you don't know anything about it, Colfer?"

"Ah, Colfer, I like it." I chuckled into the phone, "Let's go with that one. But honestly I have no idea what this thing is about."

"Alright well, I'm getting in my car right now. Did you leave yet?"

"Yeah, I'm like five minutes away, you're leaving now?"

"Yep, I should be there in like twenty or so." she replied.

I looked over at the screen on his dashboard. 2:44, is it really that early? LA traffic was unusually dull that day. Most of the times that I drove through the city I would get stuck in the middle of it for about ten minutes, but not today. Weird. "I hope I'm not too early."

"I'm sure the guys are there already, but I'll see you there, kay boo?"

"Alright Amber, love you."

"Love you too…Chrisey-boo!" said Amber, laughing. "I'm sorry hun, there's no way I'm calling you Colfer."

"Something told me that wasn't going to last, Amber…Ambberrr…god, nothing good rhymes with Amber."

Amber had a laughing fit on the other end. "Byeeee looove!"

"I'll think of something, dammit! Mark my words!" I could hear Amber laugh evilly before she hung up. I tried to think of a really good comeback pet name as he continued to drive. It was going to take a while. Amber was practically one of the most non-mock-able names ever. Amberr…smamber? Amber…pamber…grammar Amber?

Yeah, hopeless.

I decided to turn on the radio and stop brainstorming. Katy Perry's ET flowed from the car speakers and I slowly lost myself in the beat. You had to admit though, I was a damn good chair-dancer. Chair dancing, of course, being the art of dancing while sitting down. The song is freaking infectious, and it wasn't long until I was singing along at the top of my lungs. I whipped my head back and forth (no pun intended) and jerked my shoulders along with the music. The song ended and the radio host announced the next tune, S&M by Rihanna (since I was on the Glee Live tour all summer, the songs weren't totally over-played to me, so I could still tolerate them.)

"Yeeah! THIS IS MY JAM!" I yelled in my empty car, and then began laughing at my own 'whiteness'.


(Darren Criss's POV)

"Hey Dianna!" I said as I was getting out of my car outside Ryan's house. Dianna was looking at her phone, standing outside the front door.

That's right, Dianna fucking Agron.

Before I was on Glee, she was totally my go-to celebrity crush. I had been trying to be 'hipster'-like and picked her as an obscure actress to have a crush on when I saw her on 'Heroes'. And now I get to be friends with her! Hell, I even get to talk to her. My god, she's beautiful. Thank you Glee, thank you thank you thank you.

"Hi Darren!" she said, looking up from her phone with an adorable smile on her face. I found myself smiling brighter when we made eye-contact. I sure do enjoy having hot friends.

I started up the stone steps that led to the front door, taking off my hot pink sunglasses to get a better look at the house.

Wow. I think this had to be the biggest house I'd ever seen in my life. Yeah never mind, this isn't a house, it's a mansion. It is Ryan Murphy after all, it's not like I would be pulling up to a raised ranch.

Dianna was leaning against one of the columns that stretched down from the top of the brick house, the column making it all seem that much more epic.

"Wow, this house is…colossal!"

"It's pretty awesome, isn't it?" Dianna said, looking up over her head to the huge windows above. "Murphy does pretty well for himself."

"I'll say!"

Dianna giggled which made me turn my attention from the house to her. God, how am I even being remotely charming right now? She's so distractingly pretty.

"Hey, do you know what this whole meeting thing is about? It's kind of weird that we're having it here and not on set." she asked.

"Actually, I was about to ask you the same thing. I'm totally out of the loop about this."

"Huh, no one seems to know. It must be pretty exciting though, if it's a secret and all. Ryan's secrets are usually pretty fantastic."

"I sure do hope so." We fell into sort of an awkward silence after that. She suddenly became very fascinated with her nails.

Hey Darren, fix the awkwardness will you?

"So, are you happy to be back from the tour?"

"Yeah, it's great to be back! But the tour was remarkable, though. Part of me misses the excitement of constantly moving from city to city. And those fans! Seeing the fans is probably the best part. They're amazing." Dianna replied

"Oh my god, our fans are incredible! I love how they know every word to every song. I absolutely adore it when you're singing and you can hear thousands of people singing behind you. It's the absolute best."

"It's so exhilarating, right? It's like you can feel the love radiating from their voices. It's the greatest sound ever."

"Exactly!"

…and cue awkward silence number two.

"Well I'm gonna go inside and see what this is all about." Dianna said as she reached for the door, looking back as if to ask him if he was coming with.

"Cool, I have a quick phone call to make, but I'll be right there."

"Alright, sounds good Dar."

Awww, pet name.

Mental smile.

Wait, oh, everyone calls me Dar…silly brain. Plus, she's way too pretty to like you. I mean why would she like the dope with the horse teeth?

I made a quick phone call to my agent, telling him that we might start filming a couple of weeks earlier. He seemed fine with it, even though he had to move around a few interviews. I was about to go inside when I heard a car pull up with muffled music.

C'mon C'mon C'mon. I like it, like it. C'mon.

Was that Chris?

I chuckled to myself as I saw him bouncing up and down in his seat, flailing his shoulders with his eyes clenched close, belting out Rihanna. Oh this was too good. Chris parked his car but kept the music on as he whirled his arms about, completely oblivious of my presence.

I may be baaaaad but I'm perfectly gooood at it! Sex in the aaaiir, I don't care, I love the smelllll of it!

My giggles turned into laughter as I realized just exactly what song he was singing and I walked closer to the car. This kid is so loveable!

Sticks and stoooonnes may break my booonnes but chains and whips excite meeeeee, na-na-na c'mon.

I was starting to wonder when Chris was going to notice I was there, he sure seemed oblivious to me. But nevertheless, the show was very entertaining…and it very well may serve as great blackmail on a future date in time. The car turned off and I walked up to greet him. He unbuckled his seatbelt, and turned around in his seat to see my excited face right next to the window. He let out a small shriek, then opened the door.

"Darren! You scared me!" he said, getting out of the car.

Is that a blush I see?

"Sorry!" I said, while patting him on the back, "didn't mean to." I sent him friendly smile which he returned. We started to walk towards the gigantic house in front of us. "Hey man, you should have told me."

"Told you what?" he said, giving me a confused look.

"That chains and whips excite you." I said, trying to hide my smile and raising my eyebrow to try and look sexy…I don't think it was working very well though. He immediately blushed to a very deep red, winced a little, and looked at me.

"Oh god, you saw that?"

"Yes I did." I said as-a-matter-of-factly, "If you want I can mention it to Ryan, he could have Kurt sing it on the show." There was no hiding my smile now.

"Oh yeah, that would fit in perfectly with the plot. He could sing it right after he drops out of school and becomes a prostitute." I laughed out loud and Chris smiled at my reaction. We reached the front door and I reached for the handle.

"I don't think Blaine would be alright with that."

"Oh don't worry about it, it would just be a bottle episode." The last statement earned a huge laugh on my part


(Chris Colfer's POV)

This is bad.

Very bad.

This stupid crush on my costar is very, extremely, enormously, and incredibly…

…bad

But seriously, what the hell is wrong with Ryan Murphy? How could he bring Darren Criss on the show as my romantic interest and expect me not to gaga over him. Seriously, Darren Criss. Harry Potter. No, worse than that. Singing Harry Potter. Daniel Radcliffe might be on Broadway but he has nothing on Darren's voice. The very witty, clever, talented, brilliant, nonhomophobic, dorky, totally-gets-my-humor, Darren Criss. I swear, you would have thought I killed Ryan's family to deserve this kind of torture. Thank god we kissed on the show, because if I had to stare at those lips one more time…

"CHRIS!" I was pulled away from my thoughts as I saw Lea run up to me and swallow me in a hug.

"Hello to you too, Lea."


Amber was the last to arrive about ten minutes later. Ryan led us to his deck, where there was a long table with chairs. I sat next to Lea and Dianna, while Darren sat on the other side of her. I obviously knew that Darren had a thing for Dianna, it was fairly noticeable. Or maybe it's because I pay very close attention to him…nah it's probably just that obvious. Thankfully, I don't think Dianna thinks of him as any more than a friend. The table consisted of me, Dianna, Lea, Darren, Kevin, Cory, Mark, Jenna, Heather, Naya, Chord, Harry, and Ashley. I began to wonder if anyone else was supposed to be here but Ryan broke me away from my thoughts.

"So I'm sure that you all are very curious about why you are here." There were resounding 'yes's following that statement from everyone at the table. After that a came few chuckles. "All of your characters on the show have the same thing in common besides being in the New Directions of course. Anybody want to guess what that is?"

"We all have perfect makeup all the time?" said Kevin.

"We all magically have licenses and cars?" said Darren.

"We're all extremely good looking?" I chimed in. Laughter was heard all around. Choc one up for me.

"Well, yes, but you're all supposed to be graduating this year. All of you guys are seniors. And when I was at your concert this past week I was thinking to myself how greatly I love all of you, and even if this show creates class after class, this generation will always be my favorite."

'Aww's were heard from all around the table. "Please tell me you're not dying." Said Naya, "because I will cry on the spot."

"No, I'm not dying Naya. But I do have a really good idea. You guys think that we're going to start filming next week, but that's not the reason why I had you empty it. I've rented out a large yacht, and you guys are going to occupy it for a week. All of you, on a ship together, to go to some private islands and back. I want you guys to relax for a while before we start going crazy on season three. Okay? Sound good?"

And then we all screamed.

Worth continuing?
