Hey guys! Thank you for the prompt reviews. I wasn't expecting such quick feedback. I'm sorry if the chapters aren't very long but for the most part I will be posting everyday, so I hope that makes up for it. Enjoy!

"Rachel you have to go!"

She threw herself down on her bed as Kurt ran rampant through her room, looking for possible costume options.

"I can't! You don't understand Kurt. It would change everything if they found out who I am."

He scoffed at her random assortment of clothes and threw his hands in the air. "Well at the looks of it, it won't even be your choice..you literally have nothing to work with. But you know what that means?"

"Kurt..no."

"SHOPPING!"

He ran over to his best friend and pulled her into a sitting position. "Rachel this could be your chance. You two obviously have some sort of connection. They wouldn't ask to meet you if they didn't want to. Let fate happen."

She rolled her eyes and stood up. "If this blows up in my face I'm blaming you."

"Rachel come on..you have to let me see at least one costume."

She looked at herself in the mirror and took a deep breath. Kurt heard the door unlock and watched as Rachel stepped out. His jaw dropped to the ground at the sight of her in a beautiful cream colored gown. It fit Rachel perfectly and made her look like a princess.

"I don't know..it's kind of clingy and-"

"Rachel you look beautiful."

She glanced up shyly at her best friend and bit her lip. A sales associate walked over to them. "How is everything going over here?" He paused and took in Rachel's appearance. "Excuse me miss, but you must buy that dress. You look lovely."

Kurt smiled at the man and nodded, "Please convince her. She won't listen to me."

The man held up a finger, asking them to wait before returning with a simple mask. He carefully placed it on Rachel's face and turned her to face the mirror. "There now it is complete." Rachel gasped slightly at her appearance in the mirror. Almost unrecognizable. It was perfect. She turned to the man and smiled brightly.

"Thank you so much. I'm Rachel by the way, and this is my friend Kurt."

He returned the smiled and glanced over at Kurt, "Nice to meet you both. I'm Blaine."

Later that night Rachel found herself staring at an open, blank message on her computer screen. She didn't know what to talk about anymore. In just a few short days they would be meeting for what she assumed was the first time. A few short minutes later she received a message.

You never answered me the other day. I hope your silence means yes?

The next few days before the dance, Rachel threw herself into Glee practice. Sectionals were coming up next month and they were still in desperate need of more members. She took her free period and ran around the school, posting fliers, in an effort to persuade fellow classmates to join the club.

She avoided the gym or any athletic area for that matter at all costs, for most of them were the cause of her constant torment. But something sparked inside her, thinking if she could get one of them to join then the rest of the pack may follow. As she was hanging up a flier on a board outside the boys locker room, she could feel a presence behind her.

"Oh silly sister, you really think the jocks want to be bothered by your stupid glee club?"

She scowled and kept posting, "I don't understand how you can call it stupid Jesse..or are you also concluding that your own participation in a rival glee club is also stupid?"

"Vocal Adrenaline is not just a glee club. We are a show choir that has won nationals for three straight years. So come and talk to me when you win one, oh wait you won't. You have to have enough members to do that first."

Rachel slammed her stapler into the page and listened as Jesse laughed behind her. "See you at home sis."
