Kurt walked into the choir room for glee club. He spotted Finn still looking troubled. Rachel however, was sitting on the front row looking very smug.

"What?" he asked suspiciously, taking the seat next to her.

"What do you mean?" she replied.

"That look, what's it for?"

"Me and Puck are going to sing a love song together, and it's totally going to make Finn sick with Jealously. " Rachel smirked.

"Oh Rachel..." Kurt said. "This is a terrible idea."

"You'll see when-" her words were cut off by Artie rolling into the choir room, covered head to toe in red, ice cold slushy.

"Oh my god, Artie!" Tina cried as Brittany went over to comfort her boyfriend.

"It was awful." he gasped, shivering.

"That's it!" Finn shouted, jumping out of his seat. "Screw rehearsals, this ends here and now!"

He stormed over to the door with Puck, Mike and Sam following him.

"We're gonna go all thunder dome on those guys!" Puck yelled before the four were stopped in their tracks by the rest of the football team strolling into the choir room.

Kurt tensed in his seat and Rachel grabbed his hand.


Kurt: And the coach said the whole football team has to attend glee for at least a week

Blaine: How did everyone react to that?

Kurt: In a word: badly. Rachel and I said we refused to be on a team with a known homophobe

Kurt: By the end of rehearsals it almost turned into a full blown fight. Rachel went crazy we could barely hold her back

Blaine: Rachel did? Really?

Kurt: Yeah she has two gay dads so I think she took it very personally. She may be tiny but she can be very scary

Blaine: Your rehearsals are certainly a lot more exciting than mine. All we did today was rehearse 'Bills Bills Bills'

Kurt: Well I wish our rehearsals had a little less drama too

Blaine: I don't get it though, why would the football team even agree if they hate you guys so much?

Kurt: Because if they don't the coach won't let them play the championship game, trust me they hate being there

Blaine: And what do you think about it all?

Kurt: Well I definitely don't love being in the same room as the guys who bully me but... maybe it's a good thing? If it does open their eyes to what show choir is really like

Blaine: I hope so, I really think it could

Kurt: Well, we'll find out more in tomorrow's rehearsals

Blaine: Well WE'RE probably gonna add some choreography to 'Bills Bills Bills'

Kurt: Woah exciting!

Blaine: I know, I can hardly wait ;)


"Did you really expect it to work?" Kurt asked incredulously

Kurt and Rachel were sitting in the choir room during their lunch break discussing Rachel's disastrous attempt at making Finn jealous.

"I don't know... did he say anything about it? Or me?" Rachel asked hopefully.

"No, And I'm not going to ask him either," Kurt said sternly. "I do not want to get in the middle of this."

Rachel sulked but didn't argue further. "Fine. So... regionals, have you thought about what you want to sing for your solo?"

"What about Celine Dionne? 'My heart will go on' is a classic," he suggested.

Rachel scrunched her face up. "I'm not sure that is right for you. I thought you'd want to sing something a bit more 'Broadway' anyway?"

"I do," Kurt sighed. "And although I know I would be amazing performing songs from my favourite musicals... I want us to win. We can't risk alienating any of the judges by doing anything too controversial. "

"We'll think of something," Rachel smiled.

They bothered looked towards the door as they heard loud shouting coming from the hallway.

"What the..." Kurt started.

Suddenly Coach Sylvester burst into the room shouting in rage. Kurt and Rachel watched in stunned silence as she ran over to the piano and knocked all of the sheet music onto the floor and kicked the stool over. She turned and rampaged through the chairs that had been set up ready for glee club, knocking them over and actually throwing a couple across the room.

"This isn't over," she yelled, glaring at them before storming out of the room and continuing her rampage through the corridors.

"What was that?" Rachel said.

"I think that was Hurricane Sue. " Kurt replied. "This cannot mean anything good."


Kurt: Hello!

Blaine: Hey Kurt :)

Kurt: How was rehearsals?

Blaine: Uneventful but I'm sure yours weren't?

Kurt: Far from it

Blaine: Do tell!

Kurt: Well the school cheerleading coach has had an aneurysm or something and has made sure her cheerleaders won't be able available to cheer at the championship game or perform the halftime show

Blaine: Why would she do that?

Kurt: I don't know, something to do with a cannon

Blaine: uh...

Kurt: Anyway so Mr Schue and the Football coach decided the best solution for this is for the glee club and the football team to perform at the half time show instead. In front of the whole school!

Blaine: The plot thickens!

Kurt: The football players... well they were NOT happy but their coach won't let them play otherwise

Blaine: What are you going to perform?

Kurt: Well that's the best part, we're doing a mash up of 'Thriller' and 'Heads will roll' by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Blaine: That sounds fun

Kurt: Yeah I'm actually really looking forward to that, as long as the football players don't mess it all up then it should be really good

Blaine: Just hide them in the back :p

Kurt: Well y'know we started 'zombie' camp today and they weren't actually that bad

Blaine: Maybe some of them will stick around after the week is over

Kurt: Ok, I wouldn't go THAT far

Blaine: Only time will tell


Kurt shuffled across the stage along with the rest of the glee club and the football team, pretending to be a zombie while doing the dance moves that Mr Schue had choreographed.

"Alright! Nice progress guys."Mr Schue said. It was the first time that they had actually run through the steps without making any mistakes and even the jocks were looking pleased with their accomplishment.

" Now let's take a breather and I'll see you in the choir room in 5 minutes for a lesson in zombie make up."

Kurt immediately rushed off towards the choir room, makeovers were like cracked to him, even if they were zombie makeovers.


The atmosphere in the choir room was relaxed. Practising and dancing together had at least brought the two sides together enough that they could be in the same room without arguing.

Kurt applied the finishing touches to Strando's zombie make up while Strando looked in the mirror, checking himself out.

"Do you think maybe this open wound should be bigger?" he asked.

"No, you're fine," Kurt said, ushering him off of the stool. "Who's next?"

Kurt took a sharp intake of breath as Stando's place was taken by an uncomfortable looking Karofsky.

"I uh - I put the white stuff on myself," he said motioning towards his face." But I don't know how to do the scars and stuff..."

When Kurt didn't move or say anything Karofsky spoke again. "Maybe I should- I should ask someone else."

"No," Kurt said quickly. "I'll show you."

They didn't speak again until Kurt finished applying a nasty looking scar on Karofsky cheek.

"Thanks," he said quietly.

Kurt watched him as he got up and walked over to Finn, starting a conversation with him. Maybe Mr Schue and Coach Bieste's crazy scheme was actually working.
