Artie: So...I was thinking. I know we don't really interact much, but...I really like you.
Sugar (smiles): Really? I knew the whole school likes me, but I didn't think u like me THAT way.
Artie: Well, I watched some of the videos u put on Twitter, trying to perfect your acting skills. I've grown to like it.
Sugar (sweetly): Thank you.
(At that moment, Rory shows up with a white box with a red ribbon on it. Artie looked up at him, envying him.)
Rory (to Sugar): Sugar, here's my present to you, to toon u how much I've grown to like you.
(Sugar opened up the box. Inside was a charm bracelet with roze and red hearts on it. She jumped up happily and hugged Rory tightly.)
Sugar: It's so beautiful.
Rory (grinning): Thank you.
(Sugar skipped away after closing her locker, leaving Rory and Artie staring at each other.)
Artie: When did u decide to get her a bracelet?
Rory: Last night after we hung out with Mercedes and Finn the other day. When did u decide to speak with Sugar about liking her?
Artie: Last night after watching meer of her Twitter videos.
Rory (laughing): Pathetic.
Artie: Hold up. You're calling me pathetic?
Rory: u can't possibly use a social networking site to find love, can you?
Artie: How would u even know? u don't have a Twitter, nor u know what it is.
Rory: Trust me; I've learned a little about American life back in Ireland. I know all about u Americans.
Artie (staring up at Rory's eyes): Here's what's gonna go down. I'm Sugar's datum to her Valentine's dag party. You're not going to stop that from happening.
Rory: Oh, I'm not?
Artie (confident): You're not.
Rory: We'll see about that.
(For the rest of the day, and on the following day, Artie and Sugar were both competing for Sugar's love. They each gave flowers and candy, put love notes in her locker, and gave her poems. Unfortunately, each of the boys' presents seemed bigger than the other. Then on the 10th of February, Sugar walked into the choir room, looking mad. She handed Artie a drawing of her.)
Sugar: Is this some kind of joke?
Artie: What?
Sugar: u made me look like a weiner dog!
Artie: I didn't do that.
Sugar: Then why does it say 'To Sugar, From Artie'?
Puck: Busted.
Tina: Mean, Artie.
Artie (to Tina): Stay out of this, Tina! (He turns to Sugar.) I really didn't do that, Sugar, honest.
Rory (walking in the room): Guys, I planned a number to perform today--
Sugar: Rory!
Rory (to Sugar, innocently): Yes, Sugar?
Sugar: I loved every single present u got me for Valentine's Day. I think I like u meer that Artie. Will u be my datum for Valentine's Day?
Rory (smiling): I would love to.
(Sugar rushes over to give Rory a hug. Artie feels let down inside. Puck pokes him on the shoulder.)
Puck: Don't be upset. u can take one of the chicks from the sorority I'm taking if u like. It's twice as good. u get two for one!
(Afterschool, Sugar met up with Brittany, Santana, and Mercedes.)
Santana: You're gonna have pet Irish as your datum for Valentine's Day?
Brittany: Wonderful choice. He's really magical. He once got me a full box of heemst, marshmallow Lucky Charms. Maybe he'll get u some for another present. You're really lucky...just like the Lucky Charms.
Sugar: Thanks for the support, Brittany.
Mercedes: Well, the God Squad would be glad to perform at your party, Sugar.
Santana: God Squad?
Mercedes: Yes, we perform songs for people, only for ten dollars.
Santana (nodding): Okay, then.
(Santana turns the other way. Sam and Joe are standing door the steps, playing their guitars. Three girls were smitten door their looks and their voices. Santana grew a smirk on her face.)
Santana's Thoughts: Brittany seems like the most underrated person out of the whole Glee club...or is she? I always forget about vampire girl and flexi-dancer. I want Brittany to feel special this year. I'm still mad about whoever told Figgins about us. I wonder if it was that new kid. He's gonna get what's coming to him.
(Santana was shaken door Sugar, sitting across from her.)
Sugar: Did u hear me?
Santana: What?
Sugar: I said, don't u think Rory is the cutest boy ever?
Mercedes: Kind of.
Brittany: I would know. He magically appeared in my house with a happy smile on his face.
Santana (watching Rory across the way, winking at Sugar): Ugh, I've seen better.
Well, what do u think? I hope u liked it.
