"So, Kurt," Blaine said.
"Yeah Blaine?" Kurt asked.
"I talked to Mr. Schue yesterday," Blaine started. "And…" Blaine paused, when Blaine didn't finish Kurt tried to get it out of him.
"And… what?" Kurt asked.
"You remember how I'm transferring to McKinley?" Blaine asked. Kurt nodded. "Well I asked Mr. Schue if I could sing in the Rally." Kurt's eyes grew wide with excitement.
"What did he say?" Kurt asked, placing all undivided attention on Blaine.
"He said I could, if I joined glee." Blaine said in a sort of sad tone.
"What's the problem? Me and all my real friends are in glee, not to mention my step-brother." Kurt said.
"It's just-" Blaine started but Kurt cut him off.
"It shouldn't be that hard to audition, I mean, you have an amazing voice. Plus you were the Warbler's soloist for a while. You should get in no problem-" Kurt started to ramble until Blaine cut him off.
"Kurt, I know. I know you think I could get in with no problem but the truth is… I am REALLY nervous. I don't even know what song I'm going to sing." Blaine said putting his hand to his face. Kurt reached out and held Blaine's hand that wasn't on his face. Blaine looked at Kurt and Kurt smiled.
"You know Blaine; you won't really get solos anymore. You may get 1 or 2 if you're lucky but otherwise, Rachel will steal them all from you." Kurt said with a smile. Blaine laughed a little. But the moment was short lived because of an interrupting voice.
"Talking about me aren't we?" Rachel smiled from the door way. Blaine turned around to see Rachel and Kurt looked up from his hospital bed. "Why must everyone talk about me like that?" Rachel asked, still smiling.
"Rachel, you have no idea." Kurt said. Rachel just rolled her eyes and walked on the side of Kurt's bed that Blaine wasn't on.
"What are you doing here?" Blaine asked curiously.
"Blaine, I heard what you said. And, don't worry about the audition. I've heard you sing before, true I was completely drunk one time but still… you're a great singer Blaine. I'm sure you'll do just fine." Rachel told him, sitting on a chair next to Kurt's bed. The memory of what had happened in that awkward week when Rachel and Blaine kissed during spin the bottle washed over all three of them, Blaine started blushing at the thought of it. The tension in the air was making an awkward silence.
"Oh Blaine, you just got a compliment on your singing from THE Rachel Berry…" Kurt said sarcastically, trying to break the awkward silence and get rid of the tension. Rachel gave Kurt an attempted diva look and Blaine smiled.
"Rachel you never answered my question, what are you doing here?" Blaine asked again. Rachel smiled and looked to the doorway.
"Come in now!" Rachel yelled and all of glee club walked in. Kurt was struck by shock at seeing all his friends and, fellow Gleeks. He smiled and looked up at Blaine who was also smiling like Kurt was. Blaine looked down at Kurt, who was still holding his boyfriend's hand. Mercedes stepped forward from the group as Rachel joined it.
"Hey boy, we felt we should give you a get-well gift," Mercedes started.
"In hopes you'll get better in time for the rally." Artie added.
"Yeah, we need your voice." Finn said.
"And if you're not there then chances are we won't have Blaine's voice either. He'll probably want to be with you instead." Santana said.
"Wait, I thought Blaine was already with Kurt…" Brittney said, confused.
"We all practiced this during glee today; we wanted it to be perfect for you." Tina said. Kurt gave Blaine's hand an excited squeeze.
"Plus Kurt, we all know you can get through this. And we don't only hope this song makes you feel better but, we were hoping to capture how you've been feeling for taking all this crap and putting it to song to make you stronger if possible. And boy, we wanted to sing you this song to help you through this torture called high school." Mercedes said standing back with the group. Rachel walked forward.
"It's a Mash-up and no matter how much I suggested Wicked songs they all voted this instead but I'm sure you'll enjoy it all the same!" Rachel said getting excited and turning on a boom box they all brought in.

When they finished Kurt had a tear in his eye. But there was also a gang of Nurses at the door who were watching the performance; Amie was in the very front. When everyone realized the glee club was done they all started cheering and applauding. The club hadn't seen the nurses until they started to make noise.
"Thank you guys so much! I loved it." Kurt told his fellow Gleeks. "But, shouldn't you guys be back at the school?" Kurt asked.
"Kurt, it's Saturday, we all came here out of free time not glee club time." Mercedes told him.
"We're hoping you'll be well enough for Monday cause if you're not, a lead for the rally will be gone." Artie said. Brittany's eyes widened with realization.
"Here Kurty, you should keep this." Brittany said placing a sparkly, gold scrunchie on Kurt's stomach.
"Umm, thanks Brittany but I don't use scrunches'…" Kurt said picking up the scrunchie with the hand that had an IV in it.
"Oh, you put it on your wrist." Brittany told him. Everyone in the room was staring at Brittany like she was crazy, except for Kurt and Blaine who feel that the glee club don't know the definition of crazy until they meet Jeffery. Blaine was just confused and Kurt wasn't showing any emotion in his face.
"What? That's my magical scrunchie I told you guys about a few weeks ago." Brittany said innocently.
"Where was it?" Santana asked.
"It was in my sock drawer, I have a feeling Lord Tubbington put it there. He's always steeling my stuff and reading my diary." Brittany said. "The scrunchie is magical Kurt, it can help you get better and perform at the rally." Brittany said. Kurt looked at Blaine with an I-doubt-this-is-actually-true look.
"Put it on Dolphin." Brittany said as she gestured to help put it on the non-IV hand.
"Why did she just call you dolphin?" Blaine asked Kurt. Kurt was putting the scrunchie on his non-IV hand (just to make Brittany happy) and he opened his mouth to answer when Brittany did that for him.
"Dolphins are gay sharks. And Kurt's gay, so he's a dolphin. You're gay to, so you're a dolphin too." Brittany explained. Blaine was blushing a little; the thought of being a gay shark was funny but also a bit embarrassing.
Kurt rolled his eyes as he finished putting the scrunchie on his wrist and he had to admit, gold could go with almost anything so it looked alright, fashion wise. Amie walked in the room.
"You guys are really great! That was fantastic!" Amie said to the glee club.
"Thanks" the group said in unison. Kurt looked up at Amie.
"Amie, when can I get out of here?" Kurt asked with a bit of Diva-tude. Amie smiled.
