"Thank god you're here." Santana thanked Artie as he rolled onto the stage. "I hate asking, but I really need you're help setting up this equipment." Santana had become a bit less of a bitch after she and Brittany came out and started going out. Only a little less, though.
"It's no problem I guess…" Artie was reluctant to help. He didn't like that his out-of-his-league girlfriend had dumped him for a girl. He wasn't homophobic, but he really cared about her, but it turned out that none of those feelings were every truly mutual. "What is all of this for?" Artie asked, looking around at the mess of decorations and wires.
"I wanted to sing a special song to Brittany in Glee."
"Oh okay," now Artie really didn't want to help, "what's the problem?"
Santana
the samples won't delay
But the cable -
Artie
There's another way
Say something – anything
Santana turned to face the mike that was center stage:
Test - one, two three -
Artie
Anything but that
Santana
This is weird
Artie
It's weird
Santana
Very weird
Artie
Fuckin' weird
Santana
I'm so mad
That I don't know what to do
Fighting with microphones
Freezing down to my bones
And to top it all off
I'm with you
Artie
Feel like going insane?
Got a fire in your brain?
And you're thinking of drinking gasoline?
Santana
As a matter of fact -
Artie
Honey, I know this act
It's called the 'Tango Brittany'
Artie moved his arms as if her was about to stand and do the tango with Santana, even if it was impossible; Santana nearly jumped from the shock.
Artie
The Tango Brittany
It's a dark, dizzy merry-go-round
As she keeps you dangling
Santana
You're wrong
Artie
Your heart she is mangling
Santana
It's different with me
Artie
And you toss and you turn
'Cause her cold eyes can burn
Yet you yearn and you churn and rebound
Santana
I think I know what you mean
Both
The Tango Brittany
Artie
Has she ever pouted her lips
And called you 'Pookie'
Santana
Never
Artie
Have you ever doubted a kiss or two?
Santana
This is spooky
Did you swoon when she walked through the door?
Artie
Every time - so be cautious
Santana
Did she moon over other boys -?
Artie
More than moon -
Santana
I'm getting nauseous
With that Santana tried to run off the stage, but tripped on one of the many cables that littered the stage floor. She fell to the hard ground, her head breaking her fall. Everything blacked out and when she woke up again, she wasn't in the auditorium, she was in a ballroom, in a black dress and dance shoes. There was tango music playing and the member of the Glee Club dancing. But the oddest part was when Artie, out of his wheel chair, pulled her to her feet to dace. "Artie? You can dance?"
"Only in dream sequences." He began dancing with her, and that's when Santana noticed Brittany, not in all black like the rest of the Glee Club, but in a red sequined dress, dancing with some boy Santana had never seen before.
Santana
She cheated
They kept dancing,
Artie
She cheated
Santana
Brittany cheated
Artie
Fuckin' cheated
Santana
I'm defeated
I should give up right now
Artie
Gotta look on the bright side
With all of your might
Santana
I'd fall for her still anyhow
Both
When you're dancing her dance
You don't stand a chance
Her grip of romance
Make you fall
Artie
So you think, 'Might as well'
Santana
"Dance a tango to hell"
Both
'At least I'll have tangoed at all'
The Tango Brittany
Gotta dance till your diva is through
You pretend to believe her
Cause in the end - you can't leave her
But the end it will come
Still you have to play dumb
Till you're glum and you bum
And turn blue
Artie
Why do we love when she's mean?
Santana
And she can be so obscene
Brittany, kissed the cheek of the man she was dancing with, the pulled another girl Santana had never seen before out of the crowd and kissed her full on the lips. The three walked out of the ballroom. Leaving Artie, Santana, and the Glee Club.
Both
The Tango Brittany!
Santana woke up from her unconscious state to Artie shaking her. "Santana? Santana!" Santana sat up slowly, rubbing her head. "Oh thank god, I was so nervous. If you died people might think I killed you."
"Your concern is touching." Santana remarked, Artie didn't hear. He wheeled himself over to the control panel, hit some buttons, and then went to the mike. "And we're patched." The microphone delayed on the final word, like it was suppose to.
"Thanks."
"Hey, thank you. I feel great now."
"I feel lousy…"
