Tank would probably be played by Lamarcus Tinker's brother.

Ever been told “it’s not you, it’s me”?

Hm,I don’t think so… But I think that the things with Shane probably fit on this situation.

Lists and Hard Truths || Shancedes

Tagging:  Mercedes Jones and Shane Tinsley with mentions of Sam Evans.

When: Saturday Night

Where: Dale's Cafe

Notes: Shane asked Mercedes to meet him for dinner because he has something he wants to tell her. Mercedes makes a realization while out on this dinner. Shane dialog in bold.

Mercedes sat swirling the salt shaker around in a circle as she waited for Shane to arrive. She arrived early, fifteen minutes to be exact. Sam had left, the same hurt expression on his face from when she first told him about her meeting Shane. Their visit to the doctor resulted in happy news but the news itself was tainted by the fact that Mercedes and Sam weren't communicating without it leading to an argument.  She was pregnant, a baby half Sam, half her was to be born in this world in exactly seven months and she wasn't nearly as scared as she thought she should be. Sure she and Sam both seem to be all cool calm and collected about the life growing inside her right now. Honestly it was the only thing that they could seem to agree on over the last 48 hours. This meeting with Shane was something that came out of the blue and totally unexpected.  Sam viewed it as a date, a betrayal more like it and she, well, she viewed it as her way of finding some sense of closure in the Shane Tinsley chapter of her life. The bell of the cafe door chimed and she looked up to see Shane enter a bouquet of flowers in his hands and Mercedes felt a bit uneasy.  He made his way over to the table a chess cat grin on his face. "Hey Mbear, sorry if I have kept you waiting long." He said when he approached the table. "I got these for you," he sat the flowers down and took his seat. Mercedes gave Shane a small smile before grabbing the flowers he brought and set them to the side. "No I was early so you are good," she responded, "thanks for the flowers. You didn't have to." "Come on Mercedes, you know I have to be a gentleman, you invite a girl to dinner and not buy her flowers? That's no way to make an impression." He smiled. "Have you ordered? Whatever you want it is on me." He grabbed his menu and began to look it over. "So what's good here?" Mercedes tried to push the uneasy feeling she got away but when Shane mentioned making an impression it doubled. "No I'm not hungry, but thanks for offering. The baked Ziti is good; I think you would like it." Shane closed his menu and sat it down. "The baked Ziti it is then," he decided. Shane folded his hands in front of him and stared at Mercedes, taking her in. The intensity from his stare made Mercedes look down. "Mercedes I wanted..." He cut his words short when the waitress appeared at their table to take their orders. Shane ordered the baked Ziti and Dr. Pepper while Mercedes just got water with lemon. Both Shane and the waitress tried to talk Mercedes in to ordering something but she waved the idea off. Once the waitress left the table Mercedes head went back down to focus on the salt shaker she was still stirring in a circle with her fingers. It was hard for her to concentrate when Sam's words from earlier kept replaying in her head. 'I'm nothing important.'  He had to have known that was a lie. She thought. He had to have known that he was more important to her than anyone.

  Shane reached across the table and lifted Mercedes chin up with his hand. "Hey beautiful where's your head at?" He asked concerned. She wasn't being fair to him. He had come all this way from Ohio and asked for a few moments of her time and she was too busy thinking about her own problems with Sam. "I'm sorry Shane, I had a tough day is all, but I am not going to let it interfere anymore." She smiled. "So you had something important to tell me?" "Want to talk about it?" Mercedes shook her head no. "Okay, we won't." Shane took a deep breath just as the waitress came and set there drinks down then walked off. "I want you to hear me out before you speak; I wanted to tell you something." Shane grabbed Mercedes' hands in his and she looked down at them and back up at Shane. "I have been doing a lot of thinking this past year. About my life and the paths I have taken. About my future and what I want out of it and what kind of man I want to be." He began. "So in one of my classes my professor told us to write down a list of all the things we want out of life and whom we want them with. So I did." He let her hands go and pulled out a paper from his pocket and slid it to her. Mercedes open the paper and glanced at it then Shane. "This is your list?" "Yes," he answered, "I want you to read it." 

  Mercedes took a few moments and looked over the list Shane placed in front of her. He had things listed from winning a collegiate championship to getting drafted to the NFL, traveling to varies countries, winning the Super Bowl, propose to his girlfriend on the 50 yard line, getting married in the church his parents did and having three kids. His list was full of many adventures and some of them made her smile. "This is nice Shane. I really hope you accomplish all those things you listed. You were always determined so I believe you can." She encouraged, and slid his list back to him. "Thanks Mercedes." He placed the paper back in his pocket and grabbed Mercedes hands again. "I hope to accomplish all those things as well. But there is something else. We were also supposed to list who we wanted to do all those things with. The list I gave you was just my rough draft. The real list is taped on the inside of my locker in the football stadium. I keep it there as a reminder along with the picture you gave me our senior year. You know the one you took on the first day of school. I keep it there Mercedes, because thinking things through and about my future, the person I want to do those things with is you."  

  Mercedes gasped taken aback by Shane's words. "Shane I..." "Wait let me finish first." He cut in. "The reason I want to transfer to UCLA is because I want us to take a second chance at love. I want us to be together again. I will move here so you can keep pursuing your music and we can take things slow." He said with a smile. "I want us, Mbear. Now before you give me an answer I am going to go use the restroom and wash my hands. I want you to think about it and tell me what you think when I return." He gave Mercedes hands a tight squeeze then released them and stood. "I'll be right back." Shane left the table and she let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. "Oh my god. I can't believe that just happened." She said aloud. "You okay Sugar?" The waitress can to the table and sat Shane's food down. "You look like someone knocked the wind out of you." "I'm fine, do you have a pen?" Mercedes asked, and the waitress reached in her apron and handed her one. "Thanks." "Let me know if you need anything else." The waitress stated and walked away. Mercedes unfolded her silverware. She opened the napkin wrapped around it and began to scribble words on it. She concentrated hard on what she was writing as tears came to her eyes. The last thing she expected Shane to do was come here wanting them to get back together. She was caught off guard and the mere fact that he had everything figured out was a sweet gesture. Mercedes wasn't sure how long she sat writing and crying but when Shane appeared back to the table she had almost the entire napkin covered with words. "You okay?" He asked taking his seat. "Yes and no." Mercedes replied wiping a few tears from her eyes. "Did you think like I said?" 

  Mercedes gave a sad smile to the boy sitting across from her. Shane really was a sweet guy. He was always supportive of her dreams.  He was going to make a wonderful husband and father and she just knew he would accomplish those goals he set for himself. "It was Mercedes turn to grab Shane's hands. “Shane, I thought about what you said and reading your list and seeing what I am certain is your future wrote out in front of me was a little inspiring. While you were in the bathroom I took what you said into consideration and decided to write a list of my own." “Great! Can I see it?" He asked excitedly. Mercedes shook her head as more tears fell. "I need you to listen to me first. Today I found out that I am going to be a mother. A part of me was so terrified but the other part was happy. The terrified part came from me thinking that I wasn't going to have a future with my kid's father. But as I sat here and wrote down the things I wanted in life I realized that I have nothing to be terrified for because everything I want for my future, everything I want out of life, involves him in some way. Like singing the National Anthem at a Dodgers Game, that's his favorite baseball team. Having a son with his goofy grin and love for all things Superheroes. Visiting the Grand Ole Opry, we planned that the summer before my senior year." She chuckled lightly. "I'm so so sorry Shane but the person that I want to do all those things with is not you." "It's Sam isn't it?" He questioned with a sigh." Mercedes responded with a head nod. "Figures." He said defeated. "I love him Shane, and writing this list has made me realize that fear is keeping me from being truly happy. Love isn't perfect and I know that now. It's hard, demanding, it scares the hell out of you and makes you want it even more all at the same time. If you love each other the way Sam and I love each other than in the end it is all worth it." 

  "I get it, really I do. I could see there was something there between you two the moment he came back to McKinley. You never looked at me the way you did him and if I am being honest with myself, I never looked at you the way he did." Shane admitted. Mercedes squeezed his hands and smiled at him. "I'm sorry Shane, I never meant to hurt you. But I swear Shane there is someone out there for you who will be right by your side and help you accomplish everything on your list. Someone that is going to love you more than anything else and you her. I promise." "Thanks Mercedes. I hope so. Thanks for meeting me and at least hearing me out." Mercedes leaned over the table and gave Shane a kiss on the cheek. "I know so and you're welcome. But I have to go. I kinda left things with Sam on a not so good note. I need to tell him that I'm ready for us." She gathered her things including her napkin. "Go, tell him I said hey and congrats and if he ever screws up, I will lay him out flat." He joked. "I will. Goodbye Shane." "Bye Cedes." Mercedes stood from the table and left giving Shane a squeezed to the shoulder on her way out. As she walked to her car she fished her keys and phone out of her purse. She dialed a number on her phone as she unlocked her car. "Artie? Hey its Mercedes, I need to see Sam, where are you?"

Shane was a great boyfriend to Mercedes.

People always ignore him and say Sam was better because Sam told Mercedes how talented she was, but Shane did all that too. He told her tons of times how talented and beautiful she was, and that she was going to be a star. The look of pride on his face when he watches her west side story audition was so sweet. I'm not tearing down Sam, but they were both great boyfriends.

[blue-cornmoon]

Our Mercedes was always a sassy little spitfire, but for some reason getting a boyfriend really went to her head and just made her royally obnoxious. Her boyfriend (who was supposedly named “Shane”) encouraged her to empower herself, and she took that to mean that everyone should do exactly as she wanted all of the time. So, after making everyone feel really bad for thinking that Rachel Berry was a good singer, she proceeded to “cheat” on Shane with Sam (Does kissing under a spotlight while singing a Boyz II Men cover count as cheating? I sort of feel like they should get a pass since Boyz II Men has the power to make you want to kiss everybody…), but then decided that she couldn’t be with Sam because they had to pay for their sins. And then we all cried listening to her sing Whitney Houston, partly because Whitney died way too young, partly because this plotline had been dragged out far beyond the point of interest, and partly because we couldn’t understand why anyone would ever, ever, when given the chance, break Sam’s precious little heart and make his beautiful trouty mouth blubber. And the once-cute will they/won’t they became a JUST END IT ALL FOR THE LOVE OF BARBS ALREADY.

Big News || Shanecedes

Mercedes looked down to her cellphone, looking for the time, afraid that she was late. It was saturday night and as she had talked with Shane, she was about to have dinner with him. He invited her to a big fancy restaurant, one that Cece only had been with some representative of Sony Music. She was trully happy that Shane was making the big time.

Once she spotted him at the table, she waved at him, smile. Getting closer she could see that he looked the same, aside of a single earing on his left ear. The other thing she noticed by getting closer was the woman next to him. Tall, a bit darker then both of them, shaved had, strong jaw. She was beautiful to say the least, Cece could swear she had seen her at some magazine lately.

As the hours past in the night she learned that this girl was Shane's girlfriend for one year now. She was a journalist, from Texas. When she spoke Cece could spot her accent, bringing Sam to her mind. Shane was really happy, babling about a lot tof football stuff that she had no idea what it meant.

Jayza, his girlfriend was pretty smart. She was funny, but always in a clever way. Cece could see herself being friends with her, now that she lived on LA. Shane and her seemed to be in love, like they were glowing together. When Cece mentioned that, Shane decided to share the news.

"That is the big news, actually. Me and Jayza are having a baby. I know its not a traditional thing, we are not even married, but we will take care of that after this new person comes to the world. I wanted to tell you in person, what do you think?"

Mercedes knew why Shane felt the need to give this news himself and not let a friend of a friend tell her. When they were dating they talked about babies several times. Shane didnt want that many kids but he wanted his family and wasnt ashamed of that.

But Mercedes didnt knew how to answer that question. Of course she was happy about them, and that what she said a few seconds later when her brain worked again, but that left her with some thoughts. Shane was about to jump into familly and marriage in a year of relationship and believed that this was love.

On her way back home she couldnt stop smiling. Shane was a very reasonable person, and if he was doing that, even if the situations pressured him into it, she felt better about rushing her marriage. She loved Sam, and she had to trust Sam's feelings too - he wanted to do as soon as possible, and now she wanted that too.

Phonecall: Shanecedes

Mercedes: -sitting in the dark corner of Dale's Cafe when she sees her phone light up with a call.- Hello?

Shane: -Smiles when he hears her pick up- Hey, Mbear... How are you doing?

Mercedes: -looks back at the number when she hears Shane's voice.- Shane? I have not heard from you in a while. I am fine. You?

Shane: Glad to hear that Mbear. I'm doing good. I'm in the area actually. Was wondering if you wanted to join me for lunch perhaps?

Mercedes: -raises brow.- You are in LA? Shouldn't you be in school? -pauses- Lunch?

Shane: I'm actually thinking about transferring to UCLA. OSU bores me. Yeah, lunch but only if you're free.

Mercedes: Really? But I thought you wanted to be closer to family? -curious- What brought this on? It depends, when?

Shane: I did but I'm thinking that a change of scene is overdue. -Hesitates- Something personal. I can't tell you over the phone. Meet me and I'll let you know. I'm here for the weekend, so whenever you're free we can meet for lunch.

Mercedes: I see. -looks down at her drink and begins mindlessly stirring her straw around.- I don't know Shane...maybe this is not a good idea.

Shane: -Frowns at her rejection- Come on, Mbear, it's just lunch. I haven't seen you since we left high school, you're not really going to make me spend the weekend here alone, are you?

Mercedes: -sighs- Shane I...-feels a bit guilty.- No, I'm not. I have some stuff I have to take care of tomorrow so maybe dinner instead of lunch?

Shane: -Smiles- Dinner sounds good. Can't wait to see you, Mbear. Did you want me to pick you up?

Mercedes: -quietly- Great! Can not wait to see you too. No that will not be needed. I will me you at Dale's Cafe 7 o'clock? I can text you the address.

Shane: Yeah, text me the address. I better get going, I'm touring the school right now but I'm really looking forward to this dinner, Mbear. See you tomorrow at 7. Bye... -Hangs up_

Mercedes: Will do. See you tomorrow Shane. Bye. -hangs up.- What did I just agree to. -facepalms-

I know Samcedes is a pretty popular ship and everyone knows Quinncedes was done dirty after season one but we also need to appreciate Lauren and Shane bc these were literally about the only other two characters that hyped Mercedes up like Quinn and Sam did and told her that she was beautiful and talented and deserved/needed to put herself first bc it’s the truth and it’s what Cedes deserves always <3
