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