Wow, when I started writing 'Perfect Song', I didn't think so many people would like it. To be honest, I found it pretty short and rushed. But, since it got such a nice response, I decided to add another chapter. This really has nothing to do with it. Just a little something for people who asked for more. Sorry if it wasn't quite what you were looking for.
-.-.-.-
"This meeting will now come to order," Wes banged his gavel and all the Warblers in the room turned their attention to him.
"As you all know, regionals is in nine days. Now, we have already decided that for our anthem, we are going to do Pink's Raise Your Glass. And for our opening number, Warblers Kurt and Blaine will be doing a duet," Wes looked at the two boys when he said this. They were sitting next to each other on one of the couches. He saw them exchange a small smile and couldn't help but smile himself. Blaine had been grinning from ear to ear since he got back from talking to Kurt. He was glad that they were finally together.
"Now," Wes continued. "It has been suggested that we might add a third number to our set list. So, we now bring this up to all of you. All in favor for a third song?"
The rest of the Warblers looked around at each other first before everyone in the room raised their hands.
"It's settled then," Thad announced. Wes banged his gavel to make it official.
"Now, since we only have nine days before the competition, we're going to have to work extra hard and put in a few extra hours." David added. "We're going to want a good song that will both wow the crowd and make us stand out."
"The floor is open for suggestions." Thad motioned to the rest of the Warblers in the room.
"Empire State of Mind is a good song," Blaine suggested. "Since Nationals are at New York this year, that song seems to be a nice choice."
"But can any of you rap?" David asked.
"I'm sure we could try and work something out," Blaine shrugged. "And, no one will expect an all-boy's a cappella group to rap, so it gives us the element of surprise."
A bunch of the boys around him nodded in agreement. Wes was about to announce that they were going to add that to their list when he noticed Blaine looking at Kurt. Wes strained his ears a little, but then he realized that Kurt was humming softly under his breath.
"Something you'd like to share, Kurt?" Kurt's head shot up and looked at Wes. A small blush formed on his pale cheeks.
"Oh, sorry," Kurt grinned sheepishly. "I was just thinking back to when I did that with New Directions."
"New Direction did this song?" David asked curiously.
"Mhmm," Kurt nodded. "It wasn't for an official competition or anything. We did it during the start of the year to try and recruit new members. Didn't work out so well, though. We sang and danced around the courtyard like idiots but no one paid any attention to us."
"Oh." Wes frowned. He didn't want to do something New Directions already did, especially with Kurt in the group. Some of the members may accuse him of giving the Warblers their old routines. "I see. Maybe we should think of another song."
"Imagine is a nice song," Jeff spoke up after a while. "It sends a good message."
A murmur of agreement went through the group.
"Kurt?" Blaine turned to look at his boyfriend, who was moving his hands in odd motions. "What are ou doing?"
"Just trying to see if I can still remember how to sign the song." Kurt answered as moved his fingers and hands around in front of him.
"You know sign language?" Nick, who had been sitting nearby, asked.
"No, just this song." Kurt answered. "A deaf choir taught it to us last year."
"Deaf choir?" Thad asked. "Is that even possible?"
"Sure," Kurt shrugged."Last year, we were competing against a deaf choir at sectionals. Before the competition, we invited them to McKinley for a little scrimmage before the big competition. One guy sang the words while the others signed it around him. After the first verse, everyone on New Directions kind of just went up to join them."
"Perhaps another song?" Wes asked. He had a feeling that it was going to be like Blaine's attempt to find the perfect song to sing to Kurt.
"Umbrella?" David suggested. He had taken his iPod out and was suggesting random songs.
"You didn't sing that with New Directions, did you?" Blaine asked in a half-serious tone.
"No," Kurt shook his head. "But we did a mash-up of it and Singing in the Rain. It was actually a pretty interesting performance. Very…wet, though. No one could use the auditorium for a week."
Wes looked at Kurt with a disbelieving expression.
"What about Britney Spears?" Thad suggested. "Not exactly our style, but it'll definitely catch some attention."
Kurt snorted. Thad looked at him with a slightly offended look on his face.
"Oh, no!" Kurt said quickly. "It's just that the last time I suggested doing Britney Spears, I ended up screaming at my teacher to loosen up and almost got suspended for it."
Blaine looked at his boyfriend in disbelief. Almost every boy in that room was looking at him with a similar expression. Not a single one of them would have ever dreamed of doing something like that to a teacher.
"So no Britney," Wes sighed and looked around the room. "Any more suggestions?"
"Madonna?" David suggested. "I mean, if you were thinking about Britney, why not Madonna?"
"You don't have a special connection with Madonna, do you?" Blaine asked Kurt. Though his voice was light and joking, but Wes could see a hint of seriousness in his eyes.
"Not in particular," Kurt said with a small grin on his face. "There was that one week when Coach Sylvester decided to blast Madonna all throughout the school though. It led to a fairly decent number of Madonna performances."
"Any more suggestions?" Wes asked in a strained voice.
"Lady Gaga?" Someone suggested.
Kurt let out a small laugh and turned to Blaine. "Remind me to show you a picture of Finn when he wore a red rubber dress."
"Why would he do that?" Blaine asked incredulously.
"We were working on theatricality," Kurt answered. "The girls and I decided to do Bad Romance so we spent the entire week dressed in Lady Gaga outfits. The boys decided to do Kiss."
Kurt rolled his eyes at that. "Their costumes weren't as amazing, of course. But at the end of the week, Finn put on the red dress and stood up to some of the guys who were giving me a hard time. It was really sweet now that I think about it."
David groaned and put his head in his hands. "This is getting us nowhere."
"Single Ladies?" Wes suggested. Everyone stared at him in disbelief. He only shrugged in response. He wasn't serious about that choice. He just wanted to pick a number that he was sure the New Directions wouldn't have done.
Kurt let out a giggle. He apparently remembered something funny.
Wes groaned. "You can't be serious. You guys did Single Ladies?"
"No, not exactly:" Kurt explained. "But the only game the football team won last year was when they danced to Single Ladies to throw off the other team."
"Well, they didn't exactly perform it." David offered.
"You know what," Wes said after a moment of thought. "I say that we just forget about the third number thing. Candles and Raise Your Glass will be fine."
"All in favor?" Thad turned to the rest of the room. All the hands shot up into the air.
"That's settled." Wes banged his gavel a little harder than usual. "Let's call it a day. We'll meet again tomorrow at the same time."
As the boys grabbed their things and left the room, Blaine turned to his new boyfriend. "Okay, so is there anything that your old glee club hasn't performed?"
-.-.-.-
And, I really don't know. I was originally planning on continuing with the Blaine trying to sing to Kurt premise, but this is what came out instead. That, and I couldn't quite come up with enough love songs for Blaine to sing. I see this bit as a failure really :/ This is why I stay away from humor. Thoughts?
