Carl was back and cured from his mono and was also working that day. Carl had long shaggy brown hair. He looked like someone that just came out of a surfer magazine. He was nineteen and recently graduated high school (he failed a grade), thinking he was on top of the world. But in reality, he was still living with his parents and is not even registered for college. Blaine started slightly obsessing over Carl when he first started out working at Target. This just boosted Carl's ego because not only were ladies chasing after him but now guys were too. Carl liked the attention, he was the one who could see how many girls he could get. When he got bored with one, he dumped her and moved on to the next. Carl ended up crushing Blaine's little heart telling him he was not interested because he was straight. Leaving Blaine sad, then mad when he realized how stupid he was that he fell for a jerk when his lust filled eyes have cleared. Carl just started his shift for the day and noticed Blaine sitting by himself. Carl was getting tired of girls at the moment and thought he would try something new for a change.
He walked over to Blaine, "hey Blaine, have I ever told you I like when your hair is pushed back?" Carl said in a flirty voice.
Blaine took one glance at Carl and said, "nope," then went back to doodling.
"Oh, cause I do. Oh wow, your eyes are a really pretty brown today," Carl was determined to get Blaine's attention.
"Okay," Blaine muttered back not really paying attention to what he was saying.
"So it is Saturday today, any plans for the night?"
"If I say no will you leave me alone or continuing talking to me?" Blaine was getting aggravated, Carl kept distracting him from his happy thoughts. He was full of himself and didn't want anything to do with him.
Just then Wes walked in followed by David and went over to Blaine.
"Ready to go Blaine?" Wes asked.
"Yes please, lets get out of here."
"Where are you guys going?" Carl asked innocently.
"Nun-ya," David replied.
"What's that?" Carl asked.
"Nun-ya business. Lets go."
Earl limped from the corner, "can I go with you guys?" he asked in his scratchy voice.
"No Earl, go away," David said automatically, he has said that phrase some many times before it is engraved in his brain.
"I am just kidding, I would never want to go anywhere with you guys." Earl limped away and laughed to himself. The boys did not even care at this point what comes out of Earl's mouth. They pass it off as crazy.
Blaine gathered his things and followed the other two out of the room leaving Carl agitated.
Screw them he thought to himself. He did not like the way they treated him. Everyone else listened to him and laughed what all his jokes. He would make them pay. Just then, he made it his mission to make Blaine fall for him and then break his heart.
Blaine, Wes and David were walking to Blaine's car in the parking lot.
"Thanks for coming in when you did. Carl wouldn't leave me alone," Blaine said graciously.
David shook his head, "what a prick. What did he want?"
"I don't know, something about Saturday. I wasn't listening."
"We've got your back. If he bothers you, come to us" Wes said as they all got in the car. Wes and David both hopped in the back seat and Blaine in the front and drove away.
"Why do you guys always sit in the back? One of you could sit in the front with me you know," Blaine said as he was finding a good station on the radio.
"We like to feel like we are in a taxi," Wes stated.
"45th street and make it snappy," David ordered.
"That's not even where we are going," Blaine said.
"I'm not paying you to talk," Wes said mimicking Shirley.
"No time to dilly dally, the meters running! Onward." David shouted.
"Okay, anyway," Blaine said changing the subject. "Do you think this glee club is going to be any good?"
"I'm sure the people in it are going to be very good," Wes said mysteriously.
"What does that mean?"
"Oh you'll find out."
"Ooohhkay," Blaine dragged out, not sure what he got himself into.

It was just before the performance and New Directions was in the choir room frantically trying to get down the dance moves to the songs. They were pressed for time, they only started practicing four days prior and there was six performances. Instead of everyone wanting to do a solo they thought it was best to open with everyone singing one song then group up into duets or more.
"Ok everyone, last minute to get everything together. Everyone in there shirts?" Mr. Shue looks around at everyone. "Okay good. Grab all your costumes and lets head over to the auditorium. The crowd is starting to fill in."
"Is there a lot of people?" Mercedes asked hopefully.
"Just parents and a few kids so far, but we've still got time."
The group wasn't expecting a full house. They know they are unpopular at school and no one likes the glee club. At least their parents will be there for support.
They gathered their stuff clad in white shirts with black writing and black pants and walked over to the auditorium.
::
Blaine, David and Wes arrived and took seats near the back of the auditorium. There was adults sitting in the front and a teenage boy sitting in the middle with big frizzy hair and glasses on holding a big white poster.
"Nice crowd, they must be great." Wes said sarcastically looking around at the less than half filled theater.
"We should have a good chance placing first then at sectionals," David added.
The lights dimmed on and off signaling the show was going to start soon.
Mr. Shue came out from the behind the curtain and took the mic.
"Hello everyone! Thank you for coming, I am Mr. Shue, the glee club director. We have a great performance for you tonight! Without further a due lets here it up for New Directions!"
there was clapping and the music started playing.
Kurt walked out wearing a red plaid sweater and hair gelled up in different directions.
He started singing in a low voice
It doesn't matter if you love him, or capital H-I-M
Just put your paws up
'cause you were Born This Way, Baby
Then Mercedes and Tina came from either side of Kurt when he was singing and pulled his sweater open revealing 'Likes Boys' on Kurt's shirt. Then they started dancing.
Blaine's eyes went wide and his mouth fell open. "Holy SHIT!" he cursed.
Wes and David looked shocked too at what they just saw and turned to Blaine.
"I think he fainted," Wes whispered to David. Blaine's head was leaning against the head rest and his eyes were closed. Then, suddenly, he popped his head back up and opened his eyes with his gaze fixed at the front, never blinking once. He could not believe his eyes. He thought he was dreaming.
Wes and David high fived each other.
They watched the rest of the song as more kids came out and danced and took off their jackets.
The song ended and they raced off stage to get ready for the next songs.
"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, did you just see that or was I dreaming?" So many emotions were running through Blaine's mind right now.
"You were dreaming," David said.
"What!"
"Just kidding that was real, now breath Blaine. In, out, in, out." David mimicked breathing through his mouth.
"I think we do have some competition. That was pretty good." Wes said looking impressed.
"Did you see him! He goes to this school and is in this glee club! He was singing and his shirt! Did you see his shirt! I cannot believe this! Do you think he has a boyfriend? He probably has a boyfriend, he is so good looking." Blaine was babbling, unable to process what he just saw.
"No Blaine, calm down. Puck said there is only one gay kid at his school. So he must be single." Wes said to Blaine trying to calm him down.
"Okay, good," he breathed a sigh of relief.
The music started playing again, out walked and Brittany, Santana and Quinn wearing matching 80s jackets and tight pants.
Brittany was in the middle and started dancing, then Santana followed, then Quinn.
Quinn started to sing.
Hey Mr. DJ put a record on I wanna dance with my baby
And when the music starts
I never wanna stop, it's gonna drive me crazy
Brittany and Santana sang the background ego
Music, music, music
They faded off and then Brittany sang
Music makes, the people, come together
Music makes, the people, come together
Music mix the bourgeoisie and the rebel
Music mix the bourgeoisie and the rebel
Santana walked up and sang
Don't think of yesterday and I don't look at the clock
I like to boogie woogie
It's like ridin' on the wind and it never goes away
But she's everything I'm in got to have it everyday
and then Brittany sang the chorus again.
The three of them alternated singing and dancing till the end of the song.
The next song started and Tina and Mercedes walked out.
Baby, Baby, Baby Tina sang.
You are my voodoo child, my voodoo child Mercedes added after.
Mike busted out dancing to the music while Tina sang
You're like Voodoo baby,
You just take hold.
Put your cards on the table baby,
Do I twist do I fold?
They were all dressed in black and dancing together with Mike in the front doing twists and turns.
Mercedes sang
You're like Voodoo Honey
All silver and gold?
Why don't you tell me my future?
Why don't I sell you my soul.
The girls sang the duet adding some crawling on the floor to add an extra effect to the song.
Here come the drums, here come the drums
The song ended and there was a few minutes of break because a piano had to be slid out on stage.
Kurt walked out wearing a gray and silver suit after the piano and sat when it was done being situated. There was a stool and a mic placed by the piano and Finn walked out with a guitar and sat on the stool.
"How is everyone doing?" Finn asked to the audience.
There was capping and yelling, mostly coming from Burt and Carole sitting front row in the audience.
Kurt started tuning the piano while Finn talked.
"Kurt and I just recently became brothers and I would just like to say I know I wasn't there for him in the past but I am now, and will always will be in the future. I could think of no one better to be my brother." Kurt smiled over at Finn and Carole was almost in tears. Finn was still trying to make amends from his bullying Kurt in the previous years, he regretted it deeply.
Blaine was staring at the boy on the piano.
"Kurt," he whispered to himself. He liked how that sounded.
"Is that Finn?" Wes asked to David.
"Yeah, yeah it is. He goes here too!" Wes exclaimed.
"How do you know Kurt's brother." Blaine asked not moving his gaze.
"Finn works at the video game store. He's got mad knowledge about every game." David said.
"Cool," Blaine muttered eyes still locked on the boy and the way his hands were moving across the keys.
Kurt signaled to Finn that he was ready and they started playing.
Than sang together.
Brothers and sisters unite
It's the time of your lives
It's the time of your lives
Break down, break down
Gotta spread love around
Gotta spread it around
Brothers and sisters feel fine
It's the time of your lives
It's the time of your lives
No sound, no sound
Like this feeling you've found
Like this feeling you've found
But just stay down
'Cos some sounds you'll feel
So stay down
And some sounds you'll feel
If Carole wasn't in tears then, she was now. Burt had a proud smile on his face and eyes were watery.
They let the melody travel through the room, singing
it's gonna be alright
it's gonna be alright
it's gonna be alright
When the song ended people clapped and Finn said thank you leaving the stage. Rachel walked out wearing a dress that matched Kurt's suit and he stood up and joined her.
Rachel waved to the crowd and then clutched Kurt's hand. They started singing and the music joined them.
The hills are alive
With the sound of music
With songs they have sung
For a thousand years
The hills fill my heart
With the sound of music
My heart wants to sing ev'ry song it hears
My heart wants to beat like the wings of the birds
That rise from the lake to the trees
My heart wants to sigh like a chime that flies
From a church on a breeze
In the middle of the song the big frizzy haired boy named Jacob stood and held up his poster and shouted.
"Woooo! I love you Rachel!" his poster said 'RACHEL BERRY WILL YOU MERRY ME? 3 3'
Rachel shot daggers his way and continued singing.
To laugh like a brook when it trips and falls
Over stones on its way
To sing through the night
Like a lark who is learning to prey
Kurt took the lead and sang beautifully while Rachel took the background lyrics.
I go to the hills
When my heart is lonely
I know I will hear
What I've heard before
My heart will be blessed
With the sound of music
And I'll sing once more
They ended their beautiful rendition with a curtsy.
"Blaine are you crying?" Wes asked.
"It was just so beautiful," he sniffed.
"Yes, it was," David sniffed also.
The Piano and stool were quickly removed and Puck came out pushing Artie in front of him
"Hey everyone! Lets get the real party started" He yelled into his handheld mic.
Sam came out with a guitar strapped around him and Finn and a drum set were on a cart and it was wheeled out on the stage.
One, two, three, uh
Puck shouted as he put his hands in the air.
Artie started while Puck was clapping
My baby don't mess around
Because she loves me so
And this I know for shooo..
Uh, But does she really wanna
But can't stand to see me
Walk out the dooor..
don't try to fight the feelin'
Because the thought alone is killing me right nooww..
Uh, thank god for mom and dad
For sticking two together
'Cause we don't know hooowww...
UH!
All the guys sang the chorus
Heeeyyy... Yaaaaaaa..
Heeyy Yaaaaaaaa..
Heeeyyy... Yaaaaaaa..
There was colorful lights going around while the guys danced and Artie sang lead while the others sang Hey yaa.
Artie: Hey, alright now
Alright now fellas,
All: YEAH!
Artie: Now what's cooler than bein' cool?
All: ICE COLD!
Artie: I can't hear ya'
All: ICE COLD!
Artie, All: Whoooo
Then all the girls came dancing out in a line
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright…
Artie: OK now ladies
Ladies: YEAH!
Artie: I see we gon' break it down in just a few seconds
don't make me break it down for nothin'
Now I wanna see y'all on y'all baddest behavior
but i see Lend me some suga', I am your neighbor AH!
All: Shake it, shake, shake…
The girls started shaking and took out a polaroid picture and shook that too.
The song ended with everyone singing Heeeyy yaaaa and dancing around. Kurt came out at some point and everyone was on stage for the last song giving it their all.
The whole audience stood and clapped with whistles and yells. New Directions waved and blew kisses to their parents and headed back stage.
They gathered around Mr. Shue who had a giant smile on his face.
"That was fantastic! I am so proud of all of you!"
The group was happy and was patting each other on the backs and giving each other hugs.
"We totally rocked!" Finn exclaimed.
"Yes, that was amazing!" Rachel added.
After all the excitement settled down Mr. Shue said "Alright everyone, back to the choir room so we can pack up. Sectionals here we come!"
"Wooo!" they shouted and headed out.
::
"Wow, that was truly awesome" Wes was shocked and wasn't expecting them to be that good. They were heading back to the car.
"Why can't we meet them again?" Blaine whined. He wanted to stay behind and say how wonderful Kurt was.
"Because it would be weird if there is three random guys that randomly want to meet them. They will think something is up. Don't worry you will see Kurt again." Wes patted Blaine on the shoulder.
"Hmmghf" Blaine was very sexually frustrated after watching Kurt in those very tight pants and wanted a chance to see them up close.
They drove off in silence thinking about what they all just witnessed.
