Hello! I'm inspired right now, which is why you get a lot of chapters...

So! Kurtana fluff in this chapter! Nationals! And, of course, a little Tina drama (I think I'm starting to like her again...You'll see just how much in the next chapter!)

Also, Happy Halloween, everyone, even though I don't celebrate it (such a shame!)

Enjoy! xx

When Santana got home from the diner, she found Kurt, alone, curled up on the couch, staring blankly at the TV. Wait, was he watching Moulin Rouge again?

'Hey, what's up? Where's Berry?' Santana asked.

'I think she went to a NYADA party. You know, to celebrate the end of the year or something.' Kurt replied in a weak voice.

'And you didn't tag along?' Santana insisted.

'I didn't feel like partying. I'm tired.' He said with the same neutral tone.

Santana frowned and sat down on the couch next to him.

'Kurt.' She called.

Well, that certainly got his attention. He eventually lifted his head up to meet her eyes. His were red from crying.

'OK, care to explain how you suddenly went from being all lovey-dovey to becoming a total mess? And don't tell me you're crying because of the movie. I know you, Kurt.' She softly said.

Wow. She had used in first name twice in less than two minutes. That was probably a new record. Still, Kurt looked just as sad as he did before. He paused the movie and sat up.

'You'll think it's stupid.' He answered.

'I won't. Promise.' She assured.

'Erm…So I went back to today, and I saw Isabelle. Well, she just told me something that upset me. She basically said that I won't be able to have a successful career in fashion or on Broadway and a happy family life. I told her I was going to prove her wrong, but the truth is: I don't know if I'll be able to. She's probably right.'

'Hey, you know what? You worry too much. You're young. You have Blaine. You love him, he loves you. You're perfect for each other. Everyone isn't that lucky, you know. You should enjoy your life right now. Besides, you're the most organized person I have ever met. If anyone should be able to win both ways, it would be you, Kurt.'

She hugged him tightly, rubbing his back with her hand.

'OK, I need to tell you something too.' She whispered.

'Go ahead.'

'I met a girl today at the diner.' She mumbled.

Kurt didn't say anything, but his lips formed a silent 'Oh!'. Then he cleared his throat and asked:

'Is she…?'

'Yeah. She is. And she was totally hitting on me. And I think I was, too. But I'm not sure. Then she said something about bisexual girls straying for penis, and I got pissed off. But then she apologized and she told me we could be friends. But I don't know what I want! I still love Britt, but what if I'm never over her?' She ranted.

'Alright. Breathe!' Kurt ordered her. 'I want to meet her.I think you should get to know her. You don't know, maybe she's a really nice girl! But I don't think you should lead her on if you still have feelings for Britt. I did that to Adam, and I feel pretty bad about it.'

'So I guess I'll invite her over someday so you and Rachel can meet her.'

'Sounds like a plan. Now I know what we both need. You pick a movie while I go get some chocolate ice cream and two spoons from the kitchen.'

'Sure.' She answered, before grabbing Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. She'd never admit it in public, but it was one of her favorite movies.

That was it. Blaine was pacing. The last completion of his high school career. Nationals. This was his last shot to shine, and they had to win to form a New Directions dynasty, and to give the club another year. They had managed to get Ryder back in Glee club, and Dottie Kazatori was filling Brittany's spot.

But now they had to face another problem. And a big one. Tina was nowhere to be found. They had checked everywhere in the last hour, but they weren't able to find her. Blaine tried to call her for the twelfth time in the last five minutes, and for the twelfth time his call went straight to voicemail. Less than ten seconds later, Blaine's phone rang.

'Yes?' He said, hoping it was Tina.

'Hey, Blaine! I wanted to wish you good luck for Nationals.'

Kurt. For the first time ever, Blaine was disappointed to hear Kurt's voice. Still, the fact that he'd called made Blaine feel a little better.

'Thanks, Kurt' He responded.

'You don't sound so good. What's going on? Is everyone OK?' Kurt questioned.

Blaine was always amazed by the fact that Kurt was able to tell if something was wrong when Blaine had only spoke three words.

'I don't know, actually. Tina's missing. I've been trying to call her for like an hour but she's not answering.'

'And when I called, you thought it was her. Okay, I get it. Have you tried the girls' bathroom? The one on the second floor.'

'I…I don't think so…Thanks, Kurt!' Blaine smiled.

'You're welcome. Text me when you've found Tina. I'll call you back later.'

Blaine was grinning wider than ever. Kurt was definitely the best, but how come no one had thought about the girls bathroom?

When he got into the bathroom, he knew he had found her. He could hear sobbing from the furthest cubicle, and Tina spent so much time crying that he was able to recognize the sound immediately.

'Tina? Tina, open the door, will you?' He said, knocking on said door.

'GO AWAY!' She shouted back.

'Tina? Tina, what's going on, hun?'

'Nothing! Leave me alone! I don't want to come with you. You don't need me, anyway. Nobody does.' She added bitterly.

So that was the problem. Blaine sighed. Tina's temper was really annoying and unpredictable since Mike broke up with her.

'Tina, I thought you were over that! I don't understand why you're being so…so selfish! I mean you do have a solo. At Nationals!' Blaine exclaimed, irritated.

'You call that a solo? All the girls are on stage with me!'

'But you're singing the lead, Tina! When I was in the Warblers, there were like twenty people on stage with me!'

'But you always get solos! I've been in Glee club since freshman year. It's been four years now, and I still have to beg to have a solo when this is my last competition in high school. This is SO unfair!'

She was really crying now.

'Tina! Tina for God's sake! Open the damn door!'

And Blaine was really angry now. Tina slowly opened the door, revealing her red eyes and mascara-stained cheeks. Blaine's heart sank.

'Oh, Tay-Tay. Don't cry, okay? I'm sorry. But do you really want to miss your last chance to sing with the New Directions?' He asked.

She shook her head, and started to cry even more. Blaine rubbed her back soothingly.

'Shh…Now wipe your tears, I took your emergency make up bag from your locker. We need to be on the parking lot in fifteen minutes, or the bus will leave without us.'

'Thanks, Blainey-Days.'

Thirteen minutes later, Tina and Blaine got on the bus, panting. Blaine sat next to Sam and Tina next to Unique.

'Alright, I guess we can leave, now!' Mr. Schue said happily. 'L.A., here we come!'

Everyone on the bus clapped happily.

'Rachel! Santana! They're up next!' Kurt yelled.

Since Mercedes lived in L.A., she had offered to Skype Kurt the entire New Direction performance.

Rachel and Santana rushed into the living room and sat on the couch, Santana on Kurt right, Rachel on the left.

'I hope they win!' Rachel muttered.

All three teenagers had their eyes locked on the screen when they heard the presenter say 'From McKinley High in Lima, Ohio, the New Directions!'

The six Glee club girls stood on the stage in navy blue dresses with a lighter blue bow around the waist.

They started to dance as the music began and Tina started to sing

Days like this I want to drive away.

Pack my bags and watch your shadow fade

'Cause you chewed me up and spit me out,

Like I was poison in your mouth.

You took my light, you drained me down,

But that was then and this is now

Now look at me.

Then all girls joined for the chorus.

This is the part of me

That you're never gonna ever

Take away from me, no

This is the part of me

That you're never gonna ever

Take away from me, no

When the song was over, all the girls exited the stage except for Marley, who began to sing.

Skies are crying, I am watching

Catching teardrops in my hands

Only silence, as it's ending, like we never had a chance.

Do you have to make me feel like there's nothing left of me?

Then Blaine entered the stage and they both sang:

You can take everything I have

You can break everything I am

Like I'm made of glass

Like I'm made of paper

Go on and try to tear me down

I will be rising from the ground

Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper

Kurt's heart was swooning. The song was beautiful.

Finally the New Directions all gathered on the stage and they began to sing their final number: Get Lucky with Artie and Sam singing lead.

When the song was over, the audience was on their feet, clapping and cheering loudly. So were Santana, Rachel and Kurt.

'Okay, they HAVE to win!' Rachel shrieked.

'Definitely.' Kurt and Santana agreed.

Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, the New Directions were backstage after their performance.

'You guys were awesome!' Mr. Schue complimented them.

'Yes, they were!' Mercedes agreed.

She had run backstage as soon as the New Directions were off the stage. She hugged Tina. They had always been good friends, and Mercedes knew she really wanted a solo for the competition.

'You sounded great, T.!'

'Yeah…' Tina replied doubtfully.

Then her phone rang. She answered quickly.

'Tina?'

'Rachel?' She called, not sure why she out of all people was calling.

'Mercedes showed us your performance over Skype! You were amazing! I'm really proud of you! And see, I was right, this was your year! You got a solo for Sectionals and for Nationals. Plus you were elected prom queen! Isn't it amazing?'

'Th…Thanks, Rachel. I guess you're right!'

'Of course I am! And I can't wait to see you in New York! Congratulations again!'

'Thank you!'.

She hung up. Tina was smiling broadly now. Rachel Berry had called her to tell her she had been amazing! AMAZING! She wondered if she had hit her head like the previous year.

She wanted to tell Blaine just how happy she was, but he was on the phone. And according to his dreamy smile, he was speaking with Kurt.

'You need to get over it, Tina!' she scolded herself. But she couldn't. This year had been so lonely, compared to the last. And Blaine had been so nice to her! How could she not love him? 'He's gay, Tina! You're being ridiculous!'. Last year she had Mike, and everything was going so well! They held the record of the longest-lasting Glee club couple! They had been dating for two whole years! If Mike was still there, she'd be OK.

Her phone rang again. She checked the caller ID this time. Mike Chang. She forced herself to wait for the fourth tone before she answered.

'Mike?' She asked

'Tina! Mercedes sent me the video of your performance. It was great! You were great.' Mike responded.

'You think so? Really?'

'Yeah, I do! If you don't win after that, then the judges are nuts!' He chuckled, before he added 'I miss you, Tina.'

'I miss you too, Mike.'

'You don't know how much I do', she thought.

'Are you still going to New York after graduation?'

'Hopefully yes!'

'Okay. Bye, Tina, I love you.'

'I love you too.'

He hung up. Tina thought she was happy after Rachel's call, but now she was…there were no words, really!

Two hours later, the judges were done deliberating. The top three Glee clubs were called on stage. They were the New Directions, Vocal Adrenaline and another Glee club from Orlando, Florida.

The judges were there Martin Fong (that guy was definitely a show choir addict), Taylor Swift and...Chris Brown (apparently there to redeem his reputation).

Martin Fong took a microphone and said:

'First of all, congratulations to all three teams. And now, the 2013 National Show Choir Championship MVP Award goes to…'

'Please let it be me!' Tina was silently praying. He opened an envelope, and continued:

'From McKinley High in Lima, Ohio…'

'Yes! It's me!' Tina thought.

'Apparently there are two of them: Marley Rose and Blaine Anderson!'

Marley and Blaine looked at each other, before Marley threw herself at Blaine and he hugged her back. They walked towards the three judges to receive their trophies. Marley hugged Martin Fong and Taylor Swift, before looking at Chris Brown with a disgusted face and barely shaking his hand. They came back towards the New Directions, not noticing Tina's pout.

'In third place, the Sunshine Singers from Florida!'

Really? The Sunshine Singers? Well they seemed happy with their first place.

'And now, the moment you've all been waiting for! The 2013 National Show Choir Champions are….from McKinley High in Lima, Ohio the New Directions!'

The twelve members of the New Directions plus Mr. Schue began to bounce up and down. The director went to get the trophy, and all the teenagers were clapping and screaming and hugging one another.

'We did it, Blaine!' Sam yelled. 'We actually did it!'

'I know!' The curly-haired boy replied. 'This is awesome!'

When they got off the stage, someone caught Blaine's arm and hugged him.

'What the…, Cooper?!' The boy said.

'That's right, squirt! You didn't think I was gonna let my little bro enjoy L.A. without me! Congrats, national champ! Oh and MVP, right?'

'Er…Thanks, Coop. I guess.'

Blaine was never really sure how he should talk to his brother.

'So, how's life? Still going to NY?'

'Well, yeah! Sorry, Coop; I leave you the West Coast!'

'That's too bad for you! How's Kurt?'

'He's alright. We got back together.'

'Well it's about damn time! Oops, sorry, squirt, I have to go. Tell Kurt I said hi!'

Cooper let go of Blaine before disappearing in the crowd.

The news of the New Directions triumph quickly reached New York.

'They won! They won!' Rachel was chanting. 'I knew they would!'

'Yeah, and they got to MVP Awards!' Santana added. 'Even Rachel didn't get one.'

Rachel glared at her.

'Shut up!'

'You, shut up!' Santana scoffed, hitting the shorter girl with a pillow.

The two girls began a pillow fight.

'Ladies, ladies, calm down!' Kurt ordered.

The two girls stopped, looked at each other, back at Kurt and hit him with their pillows.

'Okay, if that's what you want…' Kurt said, grabbing a pillow.

Three days later, in Lima, Blaine was still thrilled by their victory at Nationals, as well as his MVP title.

He was playing the guitar in his room when he heard his mother calling him from downstairs.

'Blaine, honey? Come down, please.'

His mother's tone worried him. She sounded so serious.

'What is it, Mom?' He said after coming down the stairs.

She didn't say anything, but simply handed him a white envelope.

'It was in the mail for you.'

Blaine swallowed. On the envelope was written in bold letter 'NYADA'. This was it. His future was literally in his hands. He took a deep breath and opened the envelope.

In the Cohen-Chang household, the same scene was unfolding.

'But Mom, what if I didn't get in?'

'Then we will support you, Tina. Besides, you can still go to vet school. It's easier for a vet to become a singer than for a singer to become a vet. You know that. Open the letter, Tina. Waiting a minute or an hour isn't going to change its content.'

Tina nodded and ripped the envelope open, her hands shaking.

Haha! Little cliffhanger here! And the special guest was Cooper Anderson (I bet you were all expecting something a little more important plot-wise, but nope! Just plain old Coop!). But don't worry, dears...there will be some news...probably in chapter 6 (I'm looking at you, Brittana fans!).

Sooo In the next chapter: Blaine and Tina get their answers. Also graduation! And a Glee club alumni will be there (not saying who!). In NY, Kurt, Santana and Rachel need to 'move' things a little. Also, Santana will be blackmailing someone (yeah, she's a real bad girl!).

See ya soon! xxx
