Wes, Jeff, David, Nick, Tina, Finn, Puck, Sam, Lauren, and Mike were trying on different costumes for their chorus scenes as Munchkins, flying monkeys, twisters, and snowflakes.
Kurt being the first to try on costumes, went off to help Blaine practice his lines.
"Get up and fight you lopsided bag of hay!"
"Now that's getting personal, lion!"
Blaine opened his mouth to say his next line, but he was cut off by Rachel groaning loudly.
"I can't take it anymore! We were suppose to be off book by now!"
"What's her problem?" Kurt questioned.
"She's mad at Brittany because she still doesn't know any of her lines."
"I can't work under these conditions! How am I suppose to practice and do the best that I can if I'm surrounded by people who aren't even trying?"
"But we were suppose to be off book forever ago."
"I know."
"I wonder why Brittany's not learning her lines."
"Maybe she's having trouble remembering them all."
"Please, I know every part, I could perform it as a one man show if I needed to... it can't be that hard to just learn one part."
"You did know my lines before I did."
"Well, I promised I'd help you practice, what good would I be if I didn't even know the part I was helping you with?"
"That doesn't explain why you could recite any part in the show with your eyes closed."
"Well, I'm an understudy, I want to be ready incase I have to know someone's lines at the drop of a hat."
"Well, with how many times you've gone over my part with me, I'm sure you've got Dorothy, the Scarecrow, and the Tinman down perfectly."
"Of course."
"That's it! I'm getting the director! Mr. Will!" Rachel shouted, storming past Kurt and Blaine.
"Mr. Will, the show is opening soon and Brittany still doesn't know any of her lines!"
"I got confused..." Brittany said quietly, looking at the floor.
"Brittany, do you need help learning your part?" Will asked softly, putting a hand on her shoulder.
"Santana tried to help me, but it didn't work..." Speaking of Santana...
"I don't like this tap dance, I don't want to do it." She snapped as she walked over to Will.
"Mr. Will, this tap dance is lame."
"She's not even a tap dancer, I don't know why you gave her the part." Kurt mumbled bitterly.
"Santana, we're in the middle of something..." Upon seeing Brittany, Santana silenced herself.
"It's just too much pressure."
"Maybe if you try highlighting your lines..." Will suggested.
"I tried that, I got really confused and couldn't figure out which lines were mine so I just colored the entire script yellow..."
"Brittany..."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Will. But I don't want to be a lead in the show. I just want to dance. Why can't I be a snowflake or a twister like Mike and the other kids?"
"Mr. Will, if I may?" Kurt said, raising his hand.
"Brittany wants my part, I want Brittany's part... I know Brittany's part, and after watching her dance there's no doubt in my mind that she could learn everything she needs to know in more than enough time if Mike worked with her while we were running the show, she's a brilliant dancer."
Brittany smiled at Kurt.
"Well... if you two are both sure you're okay with it... alright, Brittany, go try on costumes and when you're done, have Mike teach you the dances... Kurt... you know the entire part?"
"Yes, I do."
"Then... go try on the Scarecrow costume we have." Kurt squealed happily and jumped up and down.
"Thank you so much! I won't let you down, I promise!"
"Brittany, are you okay? You looked like you were about to cry earlier." Blaine said softly, pulling her into a hug, surprised when she practically tackled him.
"Yes! I'm so happy! I don't have to learn all those lines anymore!" She raced over to Kurt and hugged him tightly. "Thank you so much, Kurt!"
"No, thank you, Brittany!"
Brittany skipped off happily. Santana glaring at Will.
"Woah, woah, hold up. The only reason I agreed to do this part was because I was going to be onstage with Brittany the whole show, if she's not a lead anymore, then I'm not learning this stupid tap dance." She said, crossing her arms over her chest. "I'm out."
"Santana, you can't quit, we don't have anyone else for the part, our only understudy just accepted another role."
"Um... M-Mr. Will?"
"Not now, Tina."
"But, what I h-have to say has to do with Santana not wanting to b-be in the show... I could play the Tinman. I can tap dance, and I already know the song and the dance, I'd just h-have to work on the lines."
"I could help with that." Kurt offered.
"Yeah, if Kurt helped Tina she'd know the part in no time... he helped me with my lines." Blaine added.
"Santana, I know you don't want to do the show at all without Brittany, but would you at least be willing to be Aunt Em? Then you wouldn't be onstage as much, and you could hang out backstage with Brittany, and be in the chorus numbers with her later in the show."
"And be related to that hobbit, Berry? After she practically made Brittany cry just now? Absolutely not."
"Come on, Santana? Please?"
"Santana, you should do it, I'm sorry I upset Brittany, but it was for her own good, she's much happier with her part now... but perhaps I didn't handle it correctly, I really am sorry."
"Don't apologize to me, apologize to Brittany."
"If I do, will you do the part?"
"Sure, but only because that Wes kid playing Henry is totally hot."
"Alright, now that we're all happy with our parts, Kurt, help Tina learn her lines before you two try on your new costumes... Rachel, go try on the Dorothy dress and bring Blaine with you so he can try on the Lion costume. We're going to have a costume parade in a few."
"What's a costume parade?" Blaine asked.
"That's where everyone tries on their costumes and walks across the stage in them for the director so that he can see how they look and if they'll work for the character." Rachel stated.
As Rachel raced off to try on her costume, Blaine walked over to Kurt, smiling.
"Congrats on the lead."
"Thanks!"
"I'm really happy for you." Blaine said before hugging Kurt, catching the slightly taller boy off guard.
"I'm glad you got a lead, you deserved it the most out of anyone here... and now that I know that you'll be in all my scenes with me, I'm a lot less nervous." He said before letting go and following after Rachel.
Kurt blinked a few times before smiling. Perhaps being the a star wasn't going to be the best part of having a lead... being onstage with Blaine was.
