Quinn should have known better than to agree to take the necklaces from Sue. After all, this was Sue Sylvester. The terror of Lima, Ohio. It was against her better judgment, but she had done it anyways.
But Sue had taken one too, and put it on. The tacky golden owl necklace clashed horribly with her green-and-white track suit, but she had put it on. They were just necklaces, after all. What harm could they have done?
Obviously, they did a whole lot.
First off, they somehow were the perfect size for each of the Gleeks. Odd enough, they all had owl charms. And they were all the right styles for each and every one of them.
Rachel's had been a simple little golden chain with a tiny matching charm. The little owl had a little star embroidered on it. Puck's was more of a leather-like material, with a hand-carved owl on the dog tag (it was quite bad-ass as he had said). Finn's hadn't been much different, but still more toned-down than Puck's.
Kurt's necklace had been a stylish little silver pendant, the owl charm small enough for him to hide if he needed to. Mercedes's was a flashy gold, with bright-colored eyes. The one that Artie had received was similar to Puck and Finn's, though the owl was more Egyptian.
Santana and Brittany had golden necklaces with flying owls, both in opposite directions. They were able to connect at the wings. Quinn had gotten a miniscule silver pendant with small diamonds for eyes. Tina's was a black charm on a black cord, with a small purple gem dangling from the bottom.
Sam's was a little fabric cord, with a silver dog tag on it. On the tag was a tiny little owl wearing a Darth Vader helmet on. Mike's was close to Sam's, with a round charm instead of a dog tag. Last but not least, Mr. Schuester's necklace held a tacky silver charm with a flying owl.
How Sue convinced them all to wear the necklaces was simple. She played depressed. She left little Post-It notes in their lockers, all over the choir room. She fiddled with her own every time she saw them.
Oh, and the weirdest part of all of it? It actually turned each and every one of them into owls.
