Rachel walked out in her Dorothy dress, her hair braided and little black shoes on her feet along with white socks. She was holding a basket with a stuffed animal dog inside.
"Perfect! Now can I see it with the ruby slippers?" Will asked.
Rachel kicked off the black shoes and slid on the sparkly red ones.
"Excellent."
"Mr. Will, I want to discuss something with you. I believe using a real dog will improve the quality of the show where as using a stuffed animal will seem far less realistic and will make it harder for the audience to connect with our performance."
"Um, I'll consider it Rachel but first I have to get through this costume parade. Now... take a seat in the audience. We need you to stay close by because we're going to run through the show in a little while, okay?"
"Okay." She said before going into the audience and sitting down.
"Alright, next out, Aunt Em and Uncle Henry." Wes walked out in his jeans and plaid shirt, a straw hat on his head. Santana walked out with her hair down and her skirt rolled up to make it shorter and her top slightly unbuttoned.
"Wes, you look great, you can take a seat in the audience... Santana... what did you do to your costume?"
"It made me look frumpy, I think I made it look better."
"Santana, you're playing an older woman, and Aunt Em wouldn't wear that."
"Well I don't want to wear it any other way."
"Santana..."
"Fine, I'll make the skirt long again, but I'm leaving the top four buttons of the shirt undone."
"Two buttons."
"Three."
"Deal, but you have to wear an apron and your hair up."
"Whatever."
"Now take your seat in the audience... farm hands, you're up."
Finn, Puck, and Sam walked out in outfits similar to Wes', only Sam was wearing overalls and their shirts were each a different color.
"Perfect, you guys can take a seat. Lauren, let's see your Miss Gulch costume."
He smiled as she walked out in all black. "Great, the hat totally makes the look! How about your costume Jeff."
Jeff entered in his Professor Marvel costume, which looked almost identical to the one from the movie.
"Perfect! Now lets see some twister dancers!"
"Um, Will, about that..." Emma started. "Well, I had to cut some kids out of the dance."
"What?"
"Well, Wes, Santana, Finn, Puck, Sam, Lauren, Jeff... they don't have time to change their costumes, they're onstage literally right before it happens. Plus I wanted Lauren in the dance as Gulch... so... I hope that's not a problem."
"No, it's my fault, I should've thought of that before promising those kids they could be in the dance."
"You mean we don't get to be twisters anymore?" Wes asked.
"I hope you're not too disappointed."
"I'm just glad it's one less dance to remember." Finn said with a small relieved sigh.
"We'll still be in all the other songs, right?" Jeff asked.
"Oh, sure! Of course!" Will said.
"Are you sure we have enough kids now?"
"Yeah, we've still got Brittany, Mike, David, and Nick. We could have a twister with just four people. Come on out, guys! I want to see your costumes.
The boys were in long sleeved black shirts and long black pants, and Brittany was in her black leotard and black pants, each of them had streamers tied to their wrists.
"Oh those streamers are going to look fantastic swirling around when they dance."
"Mr. Will, I have a question about our costumes... shouldn't they be red?" Brittany asked.
"Red?"
"Yeah... every one I've ever eaten has been red."
"Brittany, you're playing a twister not a twizzler." Will said.
"You know, a tornado." Mike explained.
"Oh... never mind."
"Alright, let's see Glinda." Will said as Quinn walked out in a beautiful pink dress with a crown on her head.
"Absolutely beautiful, Quinn." She smiled.
"Thank you."
"Come on out, munchkins!"
Wes, Santana, Finn, Puck, Sam, Lauren, Jeff, Brittany, Mike, David, and Nick came out in different colorful outfits.
"I'm still not down with playing a munchkin." Puck stated.
"Me neither." Finn admitted shyly.
"That sure is a fast change for us in the twister number." Nick pointed out.
"Guys, no more complaints. Nick, you guys have more than enough time to change, Puck, Finn... you're already out of the twister dance, we're not taking you out of another song. Now go change into your next costume. Mercedes, let's see your costume!"
The group exited the stage, Mercedes entering in her black dress with her witch hat and broom.
"Mercedes you look fantastic!"
"Thanks!"
"Now let's see our Scarecrow, Kurt, did you try on the costume?"
"Yes! And it fits perfectly!" Kurt stated as he walked out onstage like a model working the runway, posing when he reached center stage.
He was wearing an outfit similar to the farm hands, only straw was sticking out all over the place.
"Perfect, Kurt! Absolutely perfect!"
"Thank you, thank you very much!"
"Tina, did you try on your costume?"
"Y-Yes."
She walked out in her silver outfit.
"Can I go back to practicing my l-lines now?"
"Sure Tina, send Blaine out when you go backstage."
Tina ran backstage, but no one entered after her. Kurt sat up a bit in his seat in the audience.
"Blaine? Where are you?"
"Do you want me to go see what's taking him so long?" Kurt asked.
"That'd be great, thank you."
Kurt walked back onstage and headed backstage, going to the dressing room, surprised that the boys dressing room door was locked.
"Blaine?"
"I'm not coming out."
"Why not?"
"I look silly in my costume."
"Blaine, I'm sure you look great."
"I don't want to come out."
"But Blaine, you've got to perform the show in that costume. If you can't even show it to the rest of the cast..."
"I just really don't want to come out..."
"Well, would it be okay if I come in?"
"... Are you by yourself?"
"Yes."
"Okay, I'll unlock the door."
Kurt ran onstage. "Mr. Will, he needs help getting it on, how about you skip him for now and I'll bring him out when he's ready." he lied.
"Okay, sure... let's see our snowflakes!" The group of kids walked onstage in outfits similar to the twister costumes, only white instead of black and without the streamers. After that they came out in their green outfits for the Emerald City sequence, Nick sporting a green suit with a green top hat and bow tie. The twister outfits were recycled for the flying monkeys, only the streamers were taken away and replaced with monkey masks and wings, and Artie's Wizard costume was pretty much the same as the one from the movie.
Kurt headed into the dressing room, closing, and locking, the door behind him.
"I look silly."
"I can't agree or disagree, I can only see your tail." Kurt stated. "Do you want to come out from behind the costume rack?"
"Not really."
"Why are you so embarrassed about coming out?"
"I'm not really embarrassed, I'm scared."
"Scared of what?"
"Scared of being made fun of."
"Blaine, nobody's going to make fun of you."
"Yes they are, everyone else got cool costumes, and I look silly."
"You're playing a Lion, what'd you expect it to look like? I'm playing a Scarecrow, look how silly I look!"
"No you don't, you look cute."
Kurt felt his face get hot. "You think I look cute?" he asked, not sure why his entire face was suddenly red.
"Yeah. You look really cute."
"Thank you. You know... if you came out and I saw you, maybe you'd look cute too."
"I doubt it."
"You never know until you try."
Blaine sighed and crawled out from his spot behind the rack of clothes, sitting on the floor and bringing his knees up to his chest, resting his chin on them.
"I feel like I'm in baby pajamas..." He mumbled. His costume did sort of look that way. It was brown and fuzzy and covered his entire body, even his hands and feet, a tail attached to the back.
"I think it looks great! But you need to put the hood up!"
"Why?"
"Because other wise you don't have a maine." Kurt said, reaching over and pulling it up.
"I look so stupid..."
"No you don't, you look really cute." Kurt said smiling. Blaine's face turned red and he looked down.
"You're just saying that so I won't feel bad anymore."
"No I'm not, I really think you look cute!"
"You really think so?"
"I promise. I would never lie to you about anything, Blaine."
"If you thought I looked silly, you'd tell me?"
"Of course, I wouldn't let you go onstage if you didn't look absolutely fabulous!" He said as he sat down next to Blaine. "So... do you feel better now?"
"A little."
"Better enough to go out there for the costume parade?"
"A hug might help..." Blaine admitted softly. Kurt smiled and pulled him into a hug, only pulling back when Blaine sneezed.
"Hey!"
"Sorry, I think I'm allergic to you." He said, pointing to the straw sticking out of Kurt's shirt right by his chest before smiling.
"That is not nice!" Kurt said laughing.
"I'm glad I'm not playing the Scarecrow or I'd be sneezing all day." Blaine teased.
"Oh, just go show off your costume you big coward." Kurt said as he playfully shoved Blaine before helping him stand up, leading the way to the stage, the two boys teasing each other the whole way there and laughing so hard that Blaine completely forgot about his costume...
