It was after Sectionals, just before everyone had performed. The New Directions were nervous and so were The Warblers. Marley was shaking with fear unlike Kitty who was taking last minute tips from Quinn.

Quinn: Okay, so remember to wink at the judges to show a more saucy side. It will really help the performance.
Kitty: Of course, you are amazing. You just know everything.

Quinn was so flattered by the amazing compliments Kitty gave her. As they continued to talk, The Warblers walked by getting ready to perform. As they walked by Jeff glanced at Quinn and she stopped talking. Their eyes met within a second of time. Quinn smiled and Jeff smiled back.

Nick: Dude, what's up? Who you staring at?
Jeff: Haha, nothing. Come on let's go.

As they walked past Quinn turned her head and looked at the ground. She blushed. Jeff laughed and looked away and got on the stage.

Kitty: Quinn I am so ready. Like so ready!
Quinn: Good, I'm glad.

The New Directions took their seats in the audience and Quinn sat down trying to find Jeff. The curtain rose and the lights dimmed. All she could see was Hunter Clarington. She was so eager to scream "hurry up." She felt an instant connection when she first saw him. They all started to perform 'Whistle' and then 'Live While Were Young.' As the end of the first chorus came and the Warblers came closer to the audience, Jeff winked at Quinn as they danced. She smiled and giggled, she knew he winked at her. She was very happy.

Then the Rosedale Mennonites performed their mash-up. Quinn searched looking for Jeff and little did she know he was sitting in the row behind her. Mr Shue and Miss. Pillsbury were sitting next to her so she didn't want to start a conversation in front of them. She turned back and looked at him. He gave her a flirty smile. She was just about to say something until Kitty came and interrupted.

Kitty: We're up now. I'm going to miss you on that stage but who cares. You're still here! I hope I do you justice, more than that Marley girl.
Quinn: I'm sure you will. Good luck Kitty, break a leg.

Quinn shook her head and felt embarrassed. As the New Directions performed Quinn and Jeff stole glances in the seats.

Nick: What's going on? Who are you looking at and why are you smiling like an idiot.
Jeff: Nothing Nick. I'm just really confident that we've won.
Nick: Hmm, sure. We've got this in the bag. I mean come on; they're nothing without that Rachel girl and Kurt, and that blonde girl in front of us.
Jeff: I'm sure that "blonde girl" has a name.
Quinn knew they were talking about her. She turned.
Quinn: It's Quinn. My name is Quinn.

Then Marley fainted on stage and everyone's heads turned including theirs.

Quinn: Oh no!
Mr. Shue: Come on let's go down there!

Quinn got up and turned.

Jeff: I hope to see you again.
Quinn: Err, yeah. Me too.

She ran down the stairs and on to the stage to help Marley. Jeff looked at her and sighed, he really liked her.

Nick: I knew it wasn't NOTHING?!
