Blaine walks into McKinnley just as the parking lot is clearing out and Glee practice is beginning. "New blazer?" Finn asks as he walks in late, carrying the trophy and putting it back in the case. "Long story, friendly gift." Blaine says, refusing to explain his visit with the Warblers as he sits down next to Sam and Tina. He drapes his bag over the back of his chair as Sam leans over to insult him and the Warblers. "They stole our trophy and you decide today is the day to represent your alma mater?" Sam gives him a dirty look and so does Tina. Blaine just tunes them out as Finn explains his idea for Nationals. It's an 80's mash-up rock n' roll hits. They have a nine minute time slot so Finn suggests they start with an opener and the mash-up. His idea for the opener has the attention of the entire club, some supporting the idea, others, like Blaine and Artie, totally opposed to it. "It's way too risky and Mr. Shue would never go for it." Artie says as soon as Finn finishes explaining what his plan is. It's a dance, two people in the spotlight and the others in black in the background singing. He hasn't decided on a song yet but he was thinking something dark themed considering the dance is quite inappropriate. "Mr. Shue is going to meet us in a week before LA, he won't have time to change and if it's executed right, this could win us Nationals." Finn explains as Artie argues. Blaine stopped listening about five minutes ago when Finn first introduced the idea. "Look I know it's risky but I'm picturing Blaine and Marley." Marley snaps her head up with a surprised, 'Me?' and Blaine looks up from his texting conversation with Kurt. "No way." Blaine says, in between texting Kurt and looking up at Finn. Marley agrees with him, too shy to go with the revealing costume and inappropriate dance. "You're doing it. Come on, you want to win just as much as I do and you know that an opener like this could work." Blaine tells Kurt he'll fill him in later and locks his phone and drops it into his pocket of his blazer. "Listen here Finn. I'm not having sex on stage. With a girl. As Santana would say, 'No mi gusta.' I'm not doing it."
"Why because it's not what the Warblers would do?" Finn snaps back, sick and tired of Blaine always challenging him. He did it all of last year too and he's flat out sick of it. Blaine stands up, squaring up to Finn. "Because I'm not for sale." Blaine yells back, really considering a transfer in schooling. "Just take one for the team for once Blaine!" Finn shouts at him and Ryder and Jake are placing bets on who is going to throw the first punch. Blaine doesn't let his fight club experience show though. He straightens out his blazer, buttoning the first of three gold buttons before grabbing his bag, slinging it over his shoulder and heading out. "Good luck at Nationals. I'm sure we'll see each other somewhere along the way." Blaine walks out with that comment, clearly stating that he's planning on transferring back to Dalton. "He's like walking out isn't he?" Unique asks, playing with her wig. "He was cute too." She states and Marley laughs. "No. He's not leaving." Finn says reassuringly. He knows Blaine isn't leaving, even if he has to pull a Mr. Shue and blackmail him.
