Prompt: It's the year after Artie, Tina, Blaine, Sam, and Brittany graduate, and the five have come to visit McKinely.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

A tear stained Kitty stormed into the McKinely High choir room, dumping her stuff onto an empty chair, and plunking down next to Unique. Marley, Jake, Ryder, and Unique all exchange glances, each silently urging the others to talk to the blond cheerleader, until, finally Jake nudged Marley forward. The brunette shot a glare at her ex, then moved to sit next to the Cheerio.

"You okay, Kitty?" Marley asked gently, like she was approaching a wild animal, soft and tentative.

"No!" Kitty wailed, letting her tears fall again. "Artie and the others are visiting!"

"Isn't that good? You haven't seen Artie since he left for college." Ryder piped up, moving to sit behind his sobbing friend.

"He cheated on me! During the first week of school, Tina called me and told me that Artie has been sleeping around at his film school!" The blonde buried her face in her hands, and her friends all exchanged looks.

"Where is the asshole?" Jake asked, standing up from his chair abruptly. Kitty looked at him in shock, but before she could reply, Unique chimed in.

"Yeah, I'd like to give him a piece of my mind!" She stood up too, just as Joe and Sugar walked into the room.

"Who are you going to give a piece of your mind?" Joe asked, shrugging is bag off and shooting a worried look at Kitty. The Cheerio was never like this, she was always so cold and collected, never so . . . broken.

"Artie cheated on Kitty and we're all going to teach him a lesson!" Marley explained, her usual calm demeanor gone, replaced with anger for her friend.

"Where is he? When I'm done with him, his legs won't be the only things that won't be able to move! Not Aspergers!" Sugar informed them, her normal sugary personality vanishing, as her eyes narrowed.

Before Kitty could protest, the whole glee club stomped out of the choir room and down the hall to the auditorium, where they found Artie, Tina, Sam, Brittany, Santana, Blaine, and Kurt talking and laughing on the stage.

"Arthur Abrams, what do you have to say for yourself!" Unique yelled, strutting onto the stage, and startling Blaine so much, that he grabbed for Kurt's hand, or maybe that was on purpose.

"Hi, Unique. What's wrong?" Artie asked, his eyes widening as Unique's glare met his bewildered expression.

"I'll tell you what's wrong! You cheated on Kitty!" Marley replied, moving to stand next to Unique. Kurt and Sam's mouths dropped open, simultaneously, at this.

"You did what?" Brittany's voice lowered dangerously, and Artie looked fearfully at the three glaring girls. Britt had become close with Kitty during their year together in glee club, although they had a bit of a rocky beginning.

"I have no idea what you guys are talking about. I never cheated on Kitty. Sure, I haven't been the best at calling and texting her, but I never cheated." Artie informed them, and he saw Tina start to inch away from the group out of the corner of his eye.

"Really? Well, Kitty told us that Tina told her that you've been sleeping around at your new film school!" Joe informed him, and Artie's mouth dropped open.

"Tina!" He yelled, turning towards his friend, and all eyes turned toward the Asian.

"Yes?" She said, meekly, and Artie crossed his arms.

"Why would you lie to Kitty?" He asked, rolling over to her.

"Wait, what? I didn't lie! When I called to check in with you and see how everyone was doing you told me that your roommate has been sneaking around so you had to start sleeping around." Tina explained, crossing her arms. Artie stared at her for a second, before realization dawned on him, and he flopped back into his wheelchair.

"No, Tina, you heard me wrong. I said that my roommate has been sleeping around, so I had to start sneaking around so I wouldn't disturb him!" Artie corrected, crossing his arms and matching Tina's stance.

"Oh. Whoops! My bad!" Tina said, letting out a nervous laugh, which no one joined her in.

"Ugh! What am I supposed to do? Kitty will never believe me if I tell her the truth," Artie groaned, resting his head in his hands.

"Don't be so sure of that, Wheels," Artie heard a soft voice say, and turned to see Kitty standing in the wings. "I had to make sure that they wouldn't kill you," Kitty explained, gesturing to her friends, who grinned sheepishly, before slowly backing out of the auditorium, along with the rest, leaving Artie and Kitty alone.

"Kitty, I never-" Artie began, but Kitty cut him off.

"I know, and I'm sorry that I accused you of cheating." Kitty said, walking over to him and taking a seat beside his wheelchair.

"It wasn't your fault, Tina was the one who told you a lie. And if anything, it's also my fault for not calling you or checking in to see how things were doing. I hope you can forgive me." Artie said, looking down at his feet.

"That may be possible, if you can give me a little apology gift." Kitty said, a cheeky smile making its way onto her face.

"Whatever you want." Artie promised, and she laughed a bit, before turning her cheek towards him.

"Kiss me." She said simply, and he grinned, before leaning forward to give her a peck on the cheek. But, at the last second, she turned her head, and caught his lips in a sweet kiss. Artie smiled against her lips, and they stayed like that for awhile, before pulling away for air.

"Best apology gift ever." Kitty decided, and Artie laughed. "Now, come on, I'm sure all our friends are waiting for us in the choir room, and I can't wait to hear all about your adventures in college."

"Care for a ride to the choir room, m'lady?" Artie said, gesturing to his lap, and Kitty laughed before nodding.

"I thought you'd never ask." She replied, plopping down onto his lap, and they wheeled off to the choir room, their misunderstanding forgotten.
