Author's note:

I really wanted to get Blaine and Tina to sing a duet, as well as Rachel and Santana. I thought the Kurt and Mike duo would be interesting, though not really in character, but oh well.

I changed the rating just to be safe because I use the word "bitch".

Also, reviews are welcome.


Tina had become Blaine's closest friend (Kurt didn't count because he was his boyfriend) at McKinley. They constantly made plans with each other, much to their boyfriends' chagrin, to grab a bite to eat or watch a movie. They were practically inseparable. It was like there was an invisible cord connecting them.

A few weeks after they sang to Blaine, Mr. Shue decided that it was time for another duet contest. As soon as he announced it, everyone started talking at once.

"There is a new rule this time," he said to the Glee club. "You can't be partnered with your significant other."

Everyone started to grumble.

"It's time to stir things up a bit," he said. "To see what works. We need something fresh. That means, that the winners get a dinner for four at Breadstix."

Kurt and Blaine looked to each other and nodded. There was no question about who each of them would duet with. Blaine sing with Tina, and Kurt would duet with Mike. When Kurt and Mike realized how close Blaine and Tina were becoming, they had decided that they would get to know one another better for their sake. What they had found out had been a surprise to them. They actually worked well together, and Kurt helped Mike to improve his singing and Mike helped Kurt with his dancing. It was certainly a new dimension in the club.

Tina and Mike shared the same knowing look that Blaine and Kurt had. They immediately started brainstorming songs that each partnering could do.

"You and Kurt should do something upbeat that you can dance to," Tina said to Mike.

He nodded in agreement and said, "And you and Blaine should do something where he can play the guitar, and maybe you can play the piano."

Before the bell rang, they made plans for Tina to go over to Blaine's afterschool and for Mike to go to Kurt's.


"Do you have any ideas?" Tina asked Blaine when they were in his room looking at his CD collection.

"Possibly," he replied. "I just need to find the—oh here it is."

Blaine played the track that he had in mind.

"I love that song," Tina said, swaying. "We can sing that to our boyfriends, and you can play the guitar!"

"By the way, are we telling them what song we're going to do?" he asked.

"No," she said with a smirk. "Let's make it a surprise."


Kurt and Mike were having a harder time finding a song to sing.

"I want to show off your improved vocal skills without straining it," Kurt said.

"Oh, I have an idea," he said as he pulled up the song for Mike.

"I'm not so sure about that song," Mike said as he listened to it.

"I'm sure you can do it," Kurt responded while searching for a video of it online. "Maybe seeing a video would help."

Mike smiled as he watched the video. It certainly would be a fun song to do. And with Kurt helping him, he could probably sound at least decent singing it. He was already starting to plan the choreography in his head.

"Okay," he said. "Where should we start?"


"Who wants to go first?" Mr. Shue asked the next day in Glee club.

Rachel's hand shot up so fast it looked like her arm was going to be dislocated.

"Okay Rachel and…" Mr. Shue started.

"Santana," she said finishing his sentence.

"Rachel and Santana, you're up," he said with a confused look on his face. This would be interesting.

Do the pretty girl rock, rock
Do the pretty girl rock, rock

Santana started to sing with that flair of arrogance that she always managed to have.

My name is Berry , I'm so very
Fly oh my, it's a little bit scary
Boys wanna marry, looking at my deri
You can stare, but if you touch it, then Imma bury

"Whoa," the rest of the club thought as Rachel sang. "This is so not like the usual Rachel."

Pretty as a picture, sweeter than a swisher
Mad 'cause I'm cuter than the girl that's with ya
I can talk about 'cause I know that I'm pretty
If you know it too, then ladies sing it with me

Rachel and Santana sang this song together looking around the room as they did so. When Santana saw their expressions, she smirked. Rachel just smiled.

All eyes on me when I walk in
No question that this girl's a 10
Don't hate me 'cause I'm beautiful
Don't hate me 'cause I'm beautiful

"Santana has definitely rubbed off on me," Rachel thought as she sang. I would have never thought to be so bold and sing this song.

My walk, my talk, the way I dress
It's not my fault so please don't trip
Don't hate me 'cause I'm beautiful
Don't hate me 'cause I'm beautiful

Doing the pretty girl rock, rock, rock
Do the pretty girl rock, rock, rock
Do the pretty girl rock, rock, rock
Do the pretty girl rock

"Thanks Rachel and Santana," Mr. Shue said when they were done. "That was great! I'm glad to see that you decided to do this duet together."

"Who's next?" he asked.

Blaine raised his hand. Mr. Shue didn't even need to ask who he was singing with. He and Tina had become so close that even he noticed.

"Blaine, Tina show us what you've got."

Tina grabbed two stools while Blaine went to get his guitar from the corner.

Once they were both seated, they both locked eyes with Kurt and Mike and Blaine started to play.

Well you done done and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
And now I'm trying to get back

Blaine started off the song with a smile on his face, looking at Kurt.

Before the cool done run out
I'll be giving it my bestest
Nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some

Tina looked to Mike as she started singing, watching him sway.

But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours

When Tina and Blaine harmonized, they sounded great. Even Rachel seemed to be surprised.

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love, love, love

Tina looked at Blaine and nodded to him. He took that as his cue to get up and walk towards Kurt and Mike.

Listen to the music of the moment, people dance and sing
We're just one big family
And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved, loved, loved, loved, loved

Just before Blaine started singing, he winked at Kurt. In return, Kurt's face flushed bright red.

So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

Well no no, well open up your mind and see like me
open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours
So please don't, please don't, please don't
There's no need to complicate cause our time is short
This oh, this oh, this is our fate
I'm yours

They finished the rest of the song together to loud applause from the rest of the Glee club.

"Well done Tina and Blaine!" Mr. Shue exclaimed. "Two tough acts to follow. Anyone else want to go today?"

"We'd like to go Mr. Shue," Kurt said as he pulled Mike up.

"The floor is yours."

[Kurt is bold italic, Mike is italic]

Anything you can do, I can do better
I can do anything better than you

No you can't.
Yes I can.
No you can't.
Yes I can.
No you can't.
Yes I can, yes I can.

Kurt started off the song looking at Mike with his 'bitch please' look. Mike started dancing around Kurt as he sang, almost taunting him.

Anything you can be, I can be greater
Sooner or later I'm greater than you
No you're not. Yes I am.
No you're not. Yes I am.
No you're not. Yes I am, yes I am.

Kurt joined Mike dancing in a playful banter.

Any note you can sing, I can go higher
I can sing any note higher than you
No you can't.
Yes I can.
No you can't.
Yes I can.
No you can't.
Yes I can.
No you can't.
Yes I can.

As they sang back and forth, they each got higher and higher, but clearly Kurt could sing higher than Mike.

Any note you can hold, I can hold longer
I can hold any note longer than you
No you can't. Yes I can.
No you can't.
Yes I can.
No you can't.
Yes I can, yes I can.
Yes you can.

As Kurt held out his last 'yes I can' Mike made his eyes go wide and he started fanning himself as he sang his line.

Anything you can say I can say faster
I can say anything faster than you
Noyoucan't.
YesIcan.
Noyoucan't.
YesIcan.
Noyoucan't.
YesIcan.
Noyoucan't.
YesIcan.

When they sang, they started dancing around each other as if they were arguing. The rest of the Glee club was in awe. Who knew Mike could sing like this? And who knew Kurt could dance like that?

Anything you can sing, I can sing sweeter
I can sing anything sweeter than you
No you can't.
Yes I can.
No you can't.
Oh yes I can.
No you can't.
Yes I can.
No you can't. Yes I can.
No you can't can't can't.
Yes I can can can.
No you can't.
Yes I can.

Mike and Kurt ended the song and bowed. Their audience gave them a standing ovation.

"Whoa, Mike and Kurt. I didn't know you guys pulled that off, but you did a great job!" Mr. Shue told them.

The bell rang as Mr. Shue said, "Everyone else has their work cut out for them."

Everyone got up to leave, but Kurt, Blaine, Tina, and Mike.

"You guys were amazing!" they all said at once before they did a group hug.


At the end of the week, it was time to vote. Some people decided not to compete (for various reasons), so the competition was down to Rachel/Santana, Tina/Blaine, Kurt/Mike, Puck/Mercedes, and Finn/Sam.

"Drum roll Finn," Mr. Shue said. "And the winners are…it's a tie! Between Blaine and Tina and Kurt and Mike!"

The four of them beamed at each other. The rest of the Glee club congratulated them, and Mr. Shue gave them the gift certificates.

"I guess you can make it a double date," he said chuckling.
