"Rachel, we need you in the New Directions. More than Vocal Adrenaline needs you. Your home is McKinley High, and it will be. Sure, you say you're a team player but usually all you hear is your own name. But we all respect you and your talent. You don't belong with them." Finn stood in front of Rachel and Jesse, his brown eyes full of pleading.

"I can't." was all Rachel could manage. Jesse was frowning intently at Finn, who stood with his eyes fixed on Rachel.

"Our relationships haven't been perfect...far from it. But I miss you Rachel."

Rachel looked down, her bottom lip trembling. "Like I said, move on Finn, I finally have." She said coolly, tears welling in her eyes.

"And like I said, I don't give up that easily." His eyelashes flickered.

"There's only one way to settle this," Jesse interjected. "Show choir-off, tomorrow. Here. 3 O'clock."

Rachel looked up at Jesse, her mouth wide open.

"What would that prove?" Finn asked, crossing his arms.

"Rachel will know where she belongs. And just for old times' sake, we need to show you we're still number one, and you're no better." Jesse said; his voice acidic.

"I know where I belong, here!" She snapped. "You don't have to do anything to show me that."

"You're wrong Rachel. And you're on, Jesse." He turned on his heels and left.

Jesse looked down at Rachel fiercely. "Let's get practicing."
