"Regionals." Will said as he wrote the word across the white board. "We've yet to work on a set list and its approaching fast." He said turning to face the Glee Club. "Any ideas?"
Hands shot up throughout the room and a few mouths began to talk at the same time.
"Obviously Beyonce." Unique said.
"More Brittany." Brittany chimed in.
"Zack could sing Who You Are… He's pretty good." Jake said, getting a smile from Zack.
"Thanks." Zack replied.
Kitty stood up. "How about we each perform a song that we want to sing at Regionals? The Three best performances can be the ones we choose."
Will nodded. "Yeah… That's a good idea Kitty. Ok guys, that's your new assignment. Let's get started."
*Glee*
Mykaela immediately knew that for this assignment she could also secretly dedicate a song to Brittany. It had been a week since their first make-out session, but not long after their most recent one. She was starting to get some serious feelings for her and wasn't sure how to act on them. After some hours of searching, she finally found the right song to use.
She walked into the Glee room and took her stand by the piano. "So I know how you like the oldies Mr. Schue, and I figured adding a little sex appeal could help catch the judge's eyes. So I choose this one to be considered for Regionals." She said giving the band their cue.
MyKaela: I love myself
I want you to love me
When I'm feelin' down
I want you above me
I search myself
I want you to find me
I forget myself
I want you to remind me
Mykaela began to dance around the piano, whipping her hair a little.
I don't want anybody else
When I think about you
I touch myself
I don't want anybody else
Oh no, oh no, oh no
She made sure to keep as much focus as possible on Brittany during her song.
You're the one who makes me happy honey
You're the sun who makes me shine
When you're around I'm always laughing
I want to make you mine
I close my eyes
And see you before me
Think I would die
If you were to ignore me
A fool could see
Just how much I adore you
I get down on my knees
I'd do anything for you
Some of the Glee kids stared on with their mouths hanging open. Artie looked from Mykaela to Brittany in slight disappointment.
I want you
I don't want anybody else
And when I think about you
I touch myself
Ooh, oooh, oooooh, aaaaaah
Mykaela stopped dancing and ended her song with a smile.
Brittany and a few others clapped as some looked on with confused faces.
"That was repulsive." Kitty blurted out, earning a few glares. "No judge at Regionals is going to want to see you grinding your white girl self all across the floor."
Mykaela was about to rebutle when Will stepped in.
"Kitty has a point… That song is way to over sexed to be sung at Regionals. Thank you Mykaela, you get an A for effort." He said with a slight smile and a nod.
Mykaela walked back to her seat near Artie, who was still looking at her.
Artie figured since she was trying to win Brittany over with a song, He could win her over with one. Now he just needed to find a song.
*Glee*
Ryder walked with Sarah down the hall. "So… I was thinking we could work on the ballad for Regionals together. That's one of the things needed right?"
Sarah looked over at him and nodded with a slight smile. "Yeah. What did you have in mind?"
"I was hoping you could help me out there. Aren't ballad's kind of like girl songs?" He asked.
"Not necessarily, though they are slow and are usually in romance movies." Sarah replied. "But I think I may have an idea for one."
*Glee*
Sarah: You, by the light
Is the greatest find
In a world full of wrong
You're the thing that's right
Finally made it through the lonely
To the other side
Sarah & Ryder: You set it again, my heart's in motion
Every word feels like a shooting star
I'm at the edge of my emotions
Watching the shadows burning in the dark
And I'm in love
And I'm terrified
For the first time and the last time
In my only life
Ryder: And this could be good
It's already better than that
And nothing's worse
Than knowing you're holding back
Both: I could be all that you need
If you let me try
Both: You set it again, my heart's in motion
Every word feels like a shooting star
I'm at the edge of my emotions
Watching the shadows burning in the dark
And I'm in love
And I'm terrified
For the first time and the last time
In my only life
Will and the Glee kids clapped, all but Kitty of course.
"That's exactly the kind of contender's we need for our Regionals line up." Will said. "Take this as an example guys. We need songs that are powerful enough to win."
Kitty rolled her eyes in disgust and crossed her arms. She looked around the room at the students who could help her come up with a song that would for sure make it to the competition.
"Tina? Too Asian. Unique? Spot light Whore. Jake's with my brother…. Jake's with my brother?" Kitty questioned before shaking it off and continuing her search. She stopped when she came across Sam and Blaine. "Perfect." She said finishing her thoughts on the matter.
After the bell rang, Kitty jumped out of her seat to catch up with the two boys. "Boy Anderson, Landing Strip Lips." Kitty said to the two as she followed in behind them. "I want you two to help me pick a song for Regionals.
"Thanks Kitty… but No Thanks." Blaine said.
"Why not?" Kitty asked.
"Because you're kind of a bitch…." Sam said with a shrug.
"So? All the best ones are. You dated Santana Lopez right? She's like Queen of bitch." Kitty said.
"Yeah… But I'm actually friends with Santana." Sam said.
Kitty stopped and crossed her arms. "Listen here Sam Evans and Blaine Anderson. You two WILL help me pick a song out for Regionals, got it?" She asked giving the two a serious look. "Now let's get started." She said with a smile, taking their arms and pulling them along to the library.
*Glee*
Artie sat in the Cafeteria staring over at Mykaela and Brittany. "Well I guess now's as good of a time as ever." Artie said, wheeling away from his table and towards the two girls.
Artie: Aren't you something to admire, 'cause your shine is something like a mirror
And I can't help but notice, you reflect in this heart of mine
If you ever feel alone and the glare makes me hard to find
Just know that I'm always parallel on the other side
He made sure Mykaela knew he was looking at her and not Brittany.
Artie: 'Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul
I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go
Just put your hand on the glass, I'm here trying to pull you through
You just gotta be strong
'Cause I don't wanna lose you now
I'm looking right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now
And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Coming back into you once I figured it out
You were right here all along
It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside of me
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making two reflections into one
'Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me
Artie Wheeled around Mykaela's table.
Artie: Yesterday is history
Tomorrow's a mystery
I can see you looking back at me
Keep your eyes on me
Baby, keep your eyes on me
'Cause I don't wanna lose you now
I'm looking right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now (show me baby)
And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Coming back into you once I figured it out
You were right here all along
You're my reflection and all I see is you
My reflection, in everything I do
You are you are the love of my life
Artie stopped his song and smiled at Mykaela. "What did you think?"
"Is that you're audition song for Regionals? Because that was great! Mr. Schue would definitely put that on the list Artie." Mykaela said.
Artie's face fell in defeat. "Yeah, I was wanting to run it by you guys to see what you thought first. I'll go sing it for him now." He said starting to wheel away.
"Want me to come with you?" Mykaela asked.
Artie turned to look at her for a second. "Nah, I see you're busy."
*Glee*
Kitty: You shout it loud, but I can't hear a word you say
I'm talking loud, not saying much
I'm criticized, but all your bullets ricochet
you shoot me down, but I get up
Blaine: I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
fire away, fire away
ricochet, you take your aim
fire away, fire away
Sam, Kitty, & Blaine: You shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium
you shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium
Sam: Cut me down, but it's you who'll have further to fall
Ghost town and haunted love
Raise your voice, sticks and stones may break my bones
I'm talking loud, not saying much
All Three: I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
fire away, fire away
ricochet, you take your aim
fire away, fire away
you shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium
you shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium
Kitty: Stone hard, machine gun
Sam: Fired at the ones who run
Blaine: Stone hard, as bulletproof glass
All Three: You shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium
The Glee kids clapped.
"We should definitely use that one Mr. Schue." Mykaela said.
"It's a good contender; I'll put it on the list." Will said.
"Hey…" Jake whispered to Zack, "Can I talk to you out in the hall for a minute?"
Zack nodded and stood up, walking out into the hall with Jake following.
Jake took Zack's arm and pulled him down the hall to the Auditorium. "I've wanted to talk to you, but I was never sure how to approach this topic…."
"Something wrong?" Zack asked.
"I kind of like you…. Like.. Like you like you." Jake said looking down.
"Why were you afraid to tell me that?" Zack asked.
"Because I've never liked a guy before… and I've never wanted to kiss one before until now." Jake said.
"You can kiss me if you want to." Zack replied, a slight smile coming across his face.
Jake looked up. "Really?"
Zack nodded before Jake leaned in and kissed him.
