*********************************************************

Sam laid on his bed reading a comic book when his dad called for him, "Samuel please come downstairs, we have company!"

Sam: I'll be right down.

Sam sometimes wishes his parents would stop bugging him so often, but then again he can't imagine where he would be without them. He admired them despite struggling at times. Always worrying about  layoffs and losing their home. Sam was raised to respect and work together as a family.

Sam checked his appearance in the mirror, and ran down the steps where he slowly froze when he saw their company in the living room. It was her....Rachel ....

Dwight: Sam, finally. Mr. Berry and his family are coming over for a barbeque to welcome his niece, Rachel. You met, right?

Sam: Briefly if you can call it that.

Rachel gave him a shy smile. Wow she's got a beautiful smile, he thought.

Mary: Well Sam, why don't you show Rachel around? She will be going to your school soon so may as well get to know at least one person before then.

Rachel: That would be lovely. That is,if you don't mind, Sam?

Sam: No problem at all.

John Berry: Have fun, but no funny business. I don't need your dads hunting either of us down.

Rachel: Oh my gosh, Uncle John, don't worry I ran the Celibacy club at McKinley.

John Berry: Which was a ploy to get to know Finn.

Sam: Who is Finn?

Rachel: Someone back home. It's complicated.

Sam smiled and thought, Maybe I should un-complicate things with her.

Sam: So would you want to watch Avatar? I speak Na'vi language.

Rachel looked at Sam, and thought he was adorable, although not her usual type. Yes she was still pining away for Finn. Even Blaine Anderson rejected her. Jesse egged her. Sam was a blonde country Ken doll. He and Quinn would be perfect for each other, although Quinn was miles away and she, Rachel, met him first this time. She was nervous about school on Monday. Wouldn't he kids bully her like at McKinley High? She was more city like and this was more country. Keep your eyevon thevprize, Rachel, New York and Broadway are end game and NOT the gorgeous blonde in front of her.

Sam: Rachel? Earth to Rachel?!

Rachel: Huh? I'm sorry, I guess I spaced out. So Avatar?

Sam: Avatar it is baby. *Elvis impression*

Rachel: Do you impressions often?

Sam: Best ice breakers ever.

Rachel: You're adorable. But so am I with my showtunes.

Sam: It makes you who you are.

Rachel chuckled as she followed him to his room. She was amazed how clean and organized he was. Compared to Finn, which she needs to stop doing.

Sam: Welcome and not many girls have been here so you're special. And I don't know why I just said that. I am sam I am and I don't like green eggs and ham.

Rachel: Hmmm, Star Wars?

Sam chuckled, and teased, " No geez it was Doctor Suess. Were you raised by monks?"

Suddenly Rachel felt stupid and looked down, Sam felt bad about teasing her. He touched her chin.

Sam: I'm sorry , I didn't mean to tease you.

Rachel: It's okay, I've been teased my whole life, slushied, called horrible names.

Sam: Why would anyone tease you: You're too beautiful to be hurt so much.

Rachel: Because I'm talented and they are scared.

Sam: Can you sing?

Rachel: I am very talented yet unappreciated for my talents.

Sam: Sing for me?

Rachel: I never turn down a chance to perform. But only if you being with me, and then you sing by yourself.

Sam: I can do that.

Faithfully (A/N: Journey)

(Sam)

Highway run

into the midnight sun

Wheels go round and round

You're on my mind

(Rachel)

Restless hearts sleep alone tonight

Sending all my love along the wire

(Sam)

They say that the road ain't no place to start a family

Right down the line it's been you and me

And loving a music man ain't always what it's supposed to be

(Rachel)

Oh, boy, you stand by me

I'm forever yours

Faithfully

(Rachel)

Circus life under the big top world

We all need the clowns to make us smile

Through space and time

Always another show

Wondering where I am lost without you

(Sam)

And being apart ain't easy on this love affair

Two strangers learn to fall in love again

I get the joy of rediscovering you

Oh, girl, you stand by me!

I'm forever yours

Faithfully

(both)

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Faithfully

(Rachel)

I'm still yours

I'm still yours

(Sam)

I'm still yours

(Both)

Faithfully

Sam: Wow...you are amazing.

Rachel: Finn and I performed that at Regionals.

Sam: Finn is your boyfriend?

Rachel: is...was...who knows anymore, so much drama yet I'm a glutton for punishment I guess. I'm here now though.

Sam: Yes, you are. I'll be there as best as I can be.

Rachel: You're so sweet, but stop stalling. Its your turn.

Sam: Wow so bossy. No wonder you were in charge at your old school.

Rachel: Someone needs to. Now, please sing for me.

Sam: Who am I to disappoint a lady.

Rachel: Sam.....

Rachel: That was amazing, you're girlfriend must be a lucky girl.

Sam: No girlfriend... 'Yet' he silently added to self.

Rachel blushed. "Oh, okay....." 'yes!' She silently screamed.

Sam leaned in, and Rachel began also. Their lips about to touch when suddenly Rachel
Pulled back.

Rachel: Sorry, not ready for that. Let's just watch the movie.

Sam: *cough* Um yeah sure.... *puts dvd in and pressed play*

For the next few hours Rachel and Sam watched the movie, ate dinner, and soon it was time for Rachel to leave.

Rachel: Thank you for everything, Sam. I hope we can do this again.

Sam: Sure anytime. And I'll be around especially at school. Don't be a stranger.

Rachel leaned in and kissed Sam's cheek, and he blushed.

Rachel: See you Monday at school, Sam Evans.

Sam: See you at school, goodnight Beautiful..uh I meant Rachel.

Stevie and Stacey stood by the door laughing and making kissing noises.

Rachel: Good night. * she turned and left*

Sam closed the door and smiled.

Stevie: Sammy is in love....

Sam chased his brother and sister. Sam thought, 'No I can't be falling,,,could I?'

It is going to be an interesting week at school....
