*Knock* *knock*

Kurt spun in his chair, away from the computer. "Come in".

The door opened and Finn walked in looking hesitant.

"Hey, Kurt," he said.

"What's going on?" Kurt asked as Finn sat down on the end of his bed.

"All the footballer players quit." Finn said sadly.

"What? But I thought everything was going so well!" Kurt replied. "They did that performance earlier and seemed really happy with it."

"They were, until they got slushied by the whole hockey team," Finn sighed. "Now they're refusing to perform with us so Bieste kicked them off the team."

"What are you going to do?"

"I don't know," he shrugged. "We don't even have enough players to play the game. Bieste put up a sign-up sheet but no one is going to want to join now."

Finn stared at Kurt until he started to get a little uncomfortable.

"What?" Kurt said finally. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"You were on the team before..." Finn started.

Kurt suddenly caught on to where this was heading.

"NO, Finn," Kurt whined.

"Please! It's the championship game, we worked so hard just to get here!" Finn pleaded.

Kurt looked at his step-brother who was giving him his best puppy-dog expression and he knew he wasn't going to be able to say no. Especially when this all happened due to an attempt to bring glee and football together and he was now the only male glee member who wasn't also on the football team.

"You want me to be a kicker?" Kurt asked.

"Actually... uhm we kinda need you out on the field..."

Kurt: Kill me now

Blaine: Before I do that do you want to tell me what's wrong?

Kurt: The football team got a taste of their own medicine courtesy of the hockey team and now they've all quit

Blaine: But everything was going so well :(

Kurt: I know! And they're not allowed back on the team unless they rejoin glee for the halftime show. So Finn has guilted me into joining

Blaine: You're back on the football team?

Kurt: Yes. Hence the 'KILL ME NOOOOOW'

Blaine: Is it THAT bad? You were on the team before.

Kurt: Yes but I only joined because I thought it would make my dad proud, and I was a kicker. I spent most of the game sitting on the bench. Now he wants me on the field and I don't even know how to play football!

Blaine: Can't they get anyone else?

Kurt: They're trying but Finn doesn't think anyone will sign up

Blaine: Well I guess if he's right and no one else signs up then they still won't have enough players and you won't have to play anyway

Kurt: That is where it gets soooo much worse

Blaine: ?

Kurt: The glee girls who aren't cheerleaders are going to try and join the football team

Blaine: Woah...

Kurt: Yep

Blaine: They won't actually let them play though will they? I'm all for equal opportunity but football is pretty rough, they could really get hurt

Kurt: They might not have any other choice

Blaine: Are things at your school EVER boring?

Kurt: No not really

"I can't believe they actually let you join." Kurt said walking on to the field with his helmet under his arm.

"Girl's can do anything guys can!" Tina said fiercely.

"Besides, we're not actually going to play. We're just going lie on the ground when they snap the ball," Mercedes said.

"What about you Kurt? You diving on the ground with us?" Rachel asked.

He looked over at her, realising he was a good 8 inches taller.

"Nah... I'm a lot stronger then I look," he replied.

"There's Finn," Rachel yelled at the boy running towards them.

"Let it go, Rachel," Kurt sighed.

"You guys ready?" Finn called.

"Yeaaah!" the girls screamed towards the rest of the group.

At half time everyone was gathered in the choir room to get their zombie make up on. Kurt ached after being slammed to the ground a few times but it wasn't as bad as he expected. It wasn't so different from being thrown into a dumpster. Checking his phone he noticed a message.

From Blaine: Are you still alive? I think I'm getting second-hand nerves

From Kurt: Survived the first half. Just got to get ready for the half time show

From Blaine: Break a leg x

"WHERE are Puck and Finn?" Rachel yelled. "They're going to miss the half time show!"

As if to answer her question Finn walked in the room followed by Quinn, Santana and Brittany. Sam rushed forward to Quinn.

"Hey, you made it! But what about your cheerleading competition?" He asked.

"We quit," Quinn said happily.

"I don't want to die," Brittany added.

"And the half time show would suck without us," Santana smirked.

"Ok girls, it's great to have you back," Mr Schue said. "Go get in your costumes."

The moved out of the door way just as Puck walked in with the rest of the football team.

"Guys? What's going on?" Mr Schue asked.

"The guys want to join in with the half time show," Puck explained. "So that maybe coach Bieste will let them join in with the second half."

"Then you better hurry up and get your costumes on too" Mr Schue grinned.

Kurt grabbed his phone to send a text.

From Kurt: The football team is back. Looks like I don't have to play the second half after all :)

He looked over at the football players rushing to get their makeup on and frowned. He found Finn in the corner putting his own makeup on.

"Where's Karofsky?" Kurt asked.

Finn spun around in his seat to face him. "He's not coming... but who cares right? Everyone else is here."

"Yeah," said Kurt. He felt a little disappointed but was quickly distracted by his phone beeping.

From Blaine: Good. I prefer my Kurt all in one piece!

Kurt felt the heat rise in his cheeks a little at Blaine referring to him as 'his'. He shook the thought from his mind, they had a half time show to perform.

"Did you see the other team's faces when the guys strolled out there in full zombie make up?" Mercedes laughed.

"I still can't believe Karofsky actually joined in with us." Kurt said.

"Whatever," Mercedes said harshly. "He's a sheep and he'll follow whatever everyone else does. As soon as he realised people were digging our performance he suddenly wanted to be a part of it."

They turned round a corner to see Finn and Karofsky standing in front of the lockers mid argument.

"What do you think? We all dance around together and everything is gonna change? Glee club is going to be cool and we're all gonna sing hippie peace songs every morning?" Karofsky sneered.

"Maybe? I- I don't know. It's a start." Fin replied

"No. Dude, it's a finish. Ok, this is highschool. People's memories for good stuff last about as long as their facebook status" Karofsky noticed Kurt and Mercedes watching them.

"What are you looking at?" He yelled.

"C'mon." Mercedes said pulling Kurt by his arm. "We gotta get to class."

"Hey, don't yell at him!" he heard Finn shout before he was out of earshot.
