Rachel took control of the group as everyone expected. One of the Warbler Council members was in her group. “Rachel, who wrote the songs that you guys used at Regionals?”

“I personally wrote Get it Right. It told a story about my personal pain. I pulled it out of my soul and created the masterpiece. In the end, it was worth it because I got the guy!” Rachel was far too focused for David.

“It’s better to let her go. Wait until she is finished with her thoughts before you speak.” Mercedes was totally serious, so they Thad sat back and waited for her to stop. He actually tried to say something twice when he thought she was done talking, only to have her continue on.

Thad finally raised his hand when she paused. “Rachel, I am fine with you writing the songs, but I would really like to get started instead of getting a lecture. I find this to be a little counterproductive.” The whole group laughed and Mercedes high-fived him. Rachel stomped her feet over to the white board.

“Fine then, let’s get the ideas out there. Then we can write the song.” Rachel was tapping her foot. “My idea comes from my experience with going out with a gay guy, who all of you know, of course.”

“Whoa, whoa, whoa. Who are you talking about?” Jeff yelled out. “You can’t be talking about Blaine.”

“Oh, well I thought that all of you would have already known about my indiscretions with Blaine warbler, but since you don’t then I will tell you.” Rachel loved attention. “Blaine and I locked lips for a few days while he and I were constantly getting drunk. I bet Kurt that Blaine might be Bi, and Kurt was sure he was gay. So, he challenged me to kiss Blaine when he wasn’t drunk. W-well, Blaine figured out that he was 100% totally gay after I kissed him. It was totally awesome!” Rachel had a silly smile on her face remembering that moment. “So I think we should write a song about liking the wrong guy and then finding out he was gay.”

“Fine. I want to suggest a song about love.. for our slow song. Then for something fast, maybe a song about senior year!” Thad was proud of himself

Everyone agreed on the love song. “Okay, let’s get the words done now.” Rachel handed out the rhyming books.

By the end of the hour, the words were complete and they were all to go home and start thinking about a tune to put to it. They also decided as a group that everyone should come up with their best words for a fast song.

Each group had their day that week and Blaine was feeling pretty confident about their chances of using his songs. There were a group of them at Breadstix on Thursday night for dinner. Blaine was so confident that Wes was even annoyed by him. The three of them decided to make a bet of the whole original song competition. “Whoever’s songs win the original songs, the losers will have to streak on stage on the last night of stage practice.”

Rachel was shaking her head no. “What if this gets out and ruins my stage career.”

“Rachel, seriously, no one will remember this.” Finn reassured her that this would not be a big deal breaker for her career.

Blaine laughed at her overreaction. “Live a little Rachel.”

It was a deal!
