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