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 wewe like me THAT way.
Artie: Well, I watched some of the video wewe put on Twitter, trying to perfect your uigizaji 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 onyesha wewe how much I've grown to like you.
(Sugar opened up the box. Inside was a charm bracelet with pink 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 wewe decide to get her a bracelet?
Rory: Last night after we hung out with Mercedes and Finn the other day. When did wewe decide to speak with Sugar about liking her?
Artie: Last night after watching zaidi of her Twitter videos.
Rory (laughing): Pathetic.
Artie: Hold up. You're calling me pathetic?
Rory: wewe can't possibly use a social networking site to find love, can you?
Artie: How would wewe even know? wewe don't have a Twitter, nor wewe know what it is.
Rory: Trust me; I've learned a little about American life back in Ireland. I know all about wewe Americans.
Artie (staring up at Rory's eyes): Here's what's gonna go down. I'm Sugar's tarehe to her Valentine's siku 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 upendo 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: wewe 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 wewe got me for Valentine's Day. I think I like wewe zaidi that Artie. Will wewe be my tarehe for Valentine's Day?
Rory (smiling): I would upendo 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. wewe can take one of the chicks from the sorority I'm taking if wewe like. It's twice as good. wewe get two for one!
(Afterschool, Sugar met up with Brittany, Santana, and Mercedes.)
Santana: You're gonna have pet Irish as your tarehe for Valentine's Day?
Brittany: Wonderful choice. He's really magical. He once got me a full box of marshmallow Lucky Charms. Maybe he'll get wewe 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 kwa the steps, playing their guitars. Three girls were smitten kwa 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 kwa Sugar, sitting across from her.)
Sugar: Did wewe hear me?
Santana: What?
Sugar: I said, don't wewe 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 wewe think? I hope wewe liked it.
