"No, that's not the step," Rachel said, "And you stepped on my foot again," she glared at Finn.
Finn looked surprised, "I'm sorry, Puck ran into my other side."
"I did not," Puck shouted.
"Just calm down," Kurt said crossing his arms over his chest.
"Alright guys," Mr. Schuester said over everyone yelling, "We have Regionals tomorrow and you guys are not working together."
"Well if we had some sort of clue of what exactly we are suppose to be doing," Santana said as she flipped her hair.
"I do know what I'm doing, it's just none of you are actually doing it," Rachel huffs.
"Maybe if all of us were here," Santana said as she examined her nails.
Kurt glared at his friend, "Really? You are going to go there?"
Rachel pulled on Kurt's arm, "Kurt, we all understand why Blaine isn't here right now," she shot a look at Santana, "Don't we?"
"Whatever," Santana said as she took her place back in line.
Kurt twisted his arm away from Rachel. Some of the group had been given Blaine crap the past couple weeks because he couldn't make it all the extra rehearsals, he had work. Mr. Schuester understood and Kurt would work with him if he missed anything big.
Kurt grumbled as he took his spot back in line. They went through the song again, but none of them could get any of the steps right.
"Regionals are tomorrow!" Mr. Schuester said and he was about to say something else, but then the door opened.
"Hey guys," Blaine walked in holding Cassidy's hand, "We thought you could use a critic."
Cassidy instantly ran over to Kurt, "Hi Kurty!" she shouted latching onto his legs, "Blaine said I could come with him today."
Kurt looked over and Mr. Schuester was talking to Blaine, they seemed to both be smiling. He turned back towards Cassidy, "Well little lady," he picked her up, "I can imagine some of us need to see a smiling face."
Cassidy grinned, "Yay!"
"Hey you," Rachel smiled standing next to Kurt.
"Hi Rachel," Cassidy waved, "Do you see my outfit? I picked it out and thought of you," she wiggled out of Kurt's arm to stand on the ground. "See the dress has animals on it," she smiled.
"A mini Rachel Berry," Mercedes teased with a laugh.
Blaine walked over to his sister, "Alright Cassidy, I need you to sit down on the chairs with Mr. Schuester and watch us practice."
"Yes sir," Cassidy saluted him and ran over to sit in a chair. Mr. Schuester sat down on the chair next to her, "And action!" she shouts.
Everyone laughs as they all get into their beginning positions for the song. The music slowly starts and the group starts moving across their pretend stage.
GHOSTBUSTERS!
GHOSTBUSTERS!
Artie wheeled up to the front to sing the lead for the first verse.
If there's something strange
In your neighborhood
Who you gonna call
GHOSTBUSTERS!
If there's something weird
And it don't look good
Who you gonna call
GHOSTBUSTERS!
�
I ain't afraid of no ghost

Cassidy grinned while she watched the New Directions move around the room using the space they had available to practice.
If you're seeing things
Running through your head
Who can you call
GHOSTBUSTERS!
An invisible man
Sleeping in your bed
Oh, who you gonna call
GHOSTBUSTERS!

I ain't afraid of no ghost
I ain't afraid of no ghost
�

GHOSTBUSTERS!
If you're all alone

The group formed a circle with Finn and Puck jumping in the middle to sing the next verse.
I ain't afraid of no ghost
I hear it likes the girls
I ain't afraid of no ghost
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
�
Who you gonna call
GHOSTBUSTERS!
If you've had a dose
Of a freaky ghost
Maybe you'd better call
GHOSTBUSTERS!
The group broke up and started dancing around. Cassidy clapped excitedly as she watched Mike do a flip in front of her. Kurt walked to the front to sing the next lines.
Let me tell you something
Bustin' makes me feel good
Kurt kneeled down and Blaine jumped up from his shoulders touching his toes which made Cassidy laugh loudly. The New Directions danced around in sync with one another.
If you had a dose of a freaky ghost
Baby, you better call
GHOSTBUSTERS!
If you had a dose of a freaky ghost
Baby, you better call
GHOSTBUSTERS!
Who you gonna call?
GHOSTBUSTERS!
It's likes the girls too
�
I ain't afraid of no ghost
I ain't afraid of no ghost
�
Don't get caught alone, oh no
GHOSTBUSTERS!
When it comes through your door
Unless you just want some more
I think you better call
GHOSTBUSTERS!
Ow
Cassidy started singing along with them and Mr. Schuester was excited to his students were finally bringing everything together.
Who you gonna call
GHOSTBUSTERS!
Who you gonna call
GHOSTBUSTERS!
Ah, I think you better call
GHOSTBUSTERS!
I can't hear you?
GHOSTBUSTERS!
Lounder!
GHOSTBUSTERS!
Cassidy stood up on the chair and started clapping wildly. Mr. Schuester stood up from his chair and clapped as well, "What do you think Cassidy? Do you think they'll win?"
Cassidy brought her hand up to her chin, "Hmmm," she squinted at them, "I think if they brush up on there steps and a few sing a little louder...I'm kidding, of course they'll win," she smiled.
Everyone laughed and Blaine tickled her sides, "You little stinker."
"And on that note, let's run through Kiss Me and Don't You Forget About Me," Mr. Schuester clapped his hands together. Everyone groaned, "Let's go guys!"
Kurt reached over and fixed Blaine's tie, "There you go."
Blaine blushed, "Thanks," he smiled at him looking up at Kurt. He leaned up and brought their lips together.
"I'm all for getting your boy kisses on, but not here," Santana comments walking past them.
They step back from one another and laugh with a blush. "Come on, let's go check on Cassidy and my parents," Kurt took Blaine's hand and they walked into the audience seating.
"My, don't you two look handsome," Carole smiled at them.
"Thank you," Kurt grinned and then reached over to brush off Blaine's shirt sleeve, "Sorry you just had something there."
Blaine smiled and shook his head, "Thanks for watching Cassidy," he said to Carole and Burt, "And Ashley texted me saying she would be here soon."
"No problem kid," Burt smiled, "And we got her a seat saved."
"Hope it's for me," they heard a voice and turned around to see Ashley, "Oh my god, you two clean up better then I do," she laughed as she hugged them.
"Thanks I think," Kurt said looking at Blaine.
Blaine nodded, "Yeah, that's a compliment, you should see this girl when she gets all dolled up."
"Yep," Ashley said, "Did Blainey here tell you that I actually have my beauty school degree and it only took me three weeks."
Kurt's eyes widened, "I love you Ash, I really do, but you are not coming near my hair with any scissors."
Blaine bumped his shoulders, "She isn't so bad, she cuts Cassidy's and my hair from time to time."
"I'll think about it," Kurt said, but they all knew he wouldn't.
"So who decided on the outfits?" Ashley asked pulling on the collar of Blaine's blazer, "And what do the girls get to wear?"
"You are way too excited over this," Kurt said with a laugh.
"Ashley used to be in her school's show choir," Blaine explained.
"Oh," Kurt said with a surprised look on his face, "I honestly never would have guessed."
Ashley smiled, "No one ever does."
"Hey Kurt, Blaine, we need to get in the back for a meeting before we come out," Sam said.
"Alright," Kurt nodded.
Blaine kneeled down next to his sister's chair, "You remember to behave, and stay in your seat. Make sure to listen to Burt and Carole. Don't-"
"Good luck," Cassidy interrupted him.
Blaine smiled at his sister and pulled her in for a hug, "Thank you baby girl."
Kurt reached out his hand and helped Blaine up, they started walking towards the back, but then a sea of navy blue blazers appeared. "It's Blaine!" someone shouted.
Blaine looked shocked that someone recognized him, "Hey guys," he held onto Kurt's hand tighter.
Kurt wondered why he was, but didn't leave his side, "We'll be there in a minute Sam." Sam gave him a nod and walked into the back.
"Man, you just left us hanging dude," one of the blazer clad boys said clapping him on the back.
"Yeah," Blaine rubbed the back of his neck, "My uncle had me transfer somewhere else," he shrugged.
"It's great to see you," one of the boy's smiled at him.
"Wow, hi Wes," Blaine gave him a half hug, "I guess you still got these under control then?"
"Nah, without you they are just a bunch of dogs who need a bit of obedience training," Wes teased, "And is this..." he said excitedly.
"Oh yeah," Blaine blushed, "This is Kurt, my boyfriend," he added quietly.
The group catcalled, "Finally!" some of the boys shouted.
"Well we best let you get going," Wes smiled and patted Blaine on the shoulder, "It was nice meeting you Kurt, don't forget I'm here if you ever want to talk Blaine. Let's go Warblers," they group waved and all patted him on the back as they walked away.
Then someone walked up to them and stopped, putting his hands in his pockets. Kurt knew he instantly didn't like him, no he couldn't like him.
"Hello Blaine," the boy said eyeing him up and down, "You haven't changed much."
Blaine shifted his weight on his feet, "Hi Sebastian, you look the same too."
"Well you know the blazer takes off a few years," Sebastian grinned, "You still look good with a tie."
Kurt cleared his throat, "I'm sorry, we haven't met. I'm Kurt Hummel, his boyfriend," he said giving a fake smile.
Sebastian gave a grin, "I heard. Sort of surprised me never thought you would date anyone by the way you turned me down all the time."
Blaine glared at him, "I turned you down because you had other ideas what a relationship should be."
Sebastian rolled his eyes, "Right, anyways guess I should go, the Warblers need me now that I'm the new lead and everything."
Blaine's eyes widened, "You? I thought Nick was the new lead."
"He was," Sebastian smiled, "I can be pretty persuasive if the right person is listening apparently."
Kurt held Blaine's hand tighter, "We have to get going, we are having a meeting before we start."
"Well it was wonderful to meet you," Sebastian said, "And Blaine don't be a stranger drop by Dalton sometime we all miss you." And then he walked away.
Kurt almost snarled, "I do not like that guy."
"Yeah, and that was him being nice," Blaine sighed, "Can we just leave now?"
"Are you alright?" Kurt asked now looking at Blaine, "Did he ever do anything to you? I may not look it but if..."
"No no," Blaine shook his head, "He was just always trying to get me to go out with him no matter how many times I told him no. He never did anything, but..."
Kurt reached out and held on to Blaine, "Hey, it's alright. He can't bother you anymore. I can always bitch him out if you need me too. You know I will."
Blaine let out a chuckle, "It is you."
"Huh?" Kurt asked.
Blaine lifted his head, "I just said it is you. You know the person for me."
"Why do you say that?" Kurt questioned.
"Because Cassidy likes you and she most definitely did not like him," Blaine laughed, "She actually called him a few names and for a little kid they weren't nice."
Kurt laughed, "I love you."
"I love you too," Blaine said as he wrapped his hands around Kurt's middle.
"Come on," Kurt let him go and held out his hand, "Let's get to the back and beat the pants off those guys."
"Not sure I want to see them without pants," Blaine commented taking Kurt's hand. Kurt gave him a look, "Kidding, I know what you mean. Let's go," he reached up to kiss his cheek and they started to walk towards the green rooms in the back.
"There you two are," Mr. Schuester said, "Form a circle everyone. Now, I just wanted to say a few things before we head out there to watch the other groups. I am extremely proud of all of you. We made it through a lot this year so far and we have some new and old faces with us that make this Glee club really to be the best that it can be. So let's win Regionals so we can go to Chicago in the spring!"
The New Directions all laid their hands on top of one another, "Wait...what should we say?" Tina asked.
Kurt grinned, "Let's just kick some ass."
Everyone laughed and they all shouted, "Let's kick some ass!" They walked out of the green room, with people staring at them as they all laughed.
Sitting and watching the other two show choirs wasn't horrible, but they had to sit through the Soul Singers singing Soul Man, which was odd because they were a group of all woman. And then the Warblers gave their own rendition of Old Time Rock And Roll dancing around the stage.
"We got this in the bag," Finn said excitedly from his seat.
Rachel nodded, "We totally do."
"Alright everyone let's head back and get ready since we're on next," Mr. Schuester said as they all stood up and started walking to the back.
Blaine caught Cassidy's eye and waved to her. She waved back enthusiastically and giggled.
"Could you two be anymore less annoying?" Santana asked.
"Adorable," Brittany said, "She meant to say adorable, sometimes she mixes up those to words."
Blaine laughed, "Thanks Brittany," he teased. Santana just rolled her eyes as they made their way to the back of the stage.
The New Directions made there way to the stage and placed themselves on the risers with the curtain still lowered. Blaine looked over and caught Kurt's eye and they both smiled at one another. "I love you," he mouthed to him.
"Love you too," Kurt said back.
And then the curtain raised and they the New Directions began their set to win the Regionals title.
"Is everyone ready for the winners of the 2012 Regionals Competition?" the man wearing a suit called out through the microphone. "We will start with third place, which everyone is anxious to hear."
The New Directions all huddled together grabbing one another's hands waiting for the results to be called off. Then suddenly there was a cry in the audience, "Wait!"
All of the groups looked and saw a small girl running up the aisles. "Wait!" Burt was following the girl and Blaine realized it was his sister. Cassidy climbed on the stage, "You forgot to put this in your pocket for good luck," she said holding up something in her hands.
Blaine kneeled down and took what Cassidy was holding her in hands, "Oh thank you," he laughed as he took the small picture from her hands. "Come here you," he lifted her up.
"Well I guess we have a guest joining us for the results," the judge announced causing everyone in the audience to laugh. "Back to our results, in third place we have the Soul Singers!"
The group of girls jumped up and down excitedly while accepting the trophy from another. They moved off the stage with only the Warblers and the New Directions now.
"And as for the winner of this 2012 Regionals Competition..." the judge said opening the envelope, "McKinley High's New Directions!"
The New Directions started jumping up and down. Cassidy bounced as Blaine jumped, "You won!" she shouted.
"We did baby girl," Blaine smiled as he leaned their foreheads together, "And it's all because of you."
Cassidy smiled, and then Kurt was hugging the both of them, "We won!" Rachel shouted with a laugh.
One of the judges came over and handed Mr. Schuester the first place trophy and the second place trophy to the Warblers who were clapping politely.
The New Directions all filed back into the green room to celebrate, "Maybe we have a little secret weapon here," Finn said with a laugh as he ruffled Cassidy's hair.
Cassidy smoothed her hair, "Only if I get to sing with you guys."
Kurt smiled and laughed, "We might be able to work that one out."
