Things had seemed to have calmed down between the group. Mainly Hayley and Autumn, they both just decided to avoid each other, putting Adrianna in a very difficult position, on the one hand Autumn was her only real female friend, but on the other she loved Hayley. Glee was buzzing, Mr Shue stood in front of the New Directions, plus Santana, Brittany, Quinn, Blaine and Kurt (who had decided to stay until after sectionals)
"Are you all excited!?" He asked knowing the answer as he waved the letter from the school show choir board in front of the teenagers and young adults.
"Gosh Mr Shue, just open the damn letter." Santana stated, just as nervous for the teens as she used to be.
"Is the duck in the envelope?" Brittany asked, still concerned about the duck that wasn't in Mr Shue's hat.
Santana shook her head and patted her girlfriends arm as the teacher opened the letter, turning around he wrote a 5 letter word across the whiteboard.
"Dream?" Ella asked confused "What does dreaming have anything to do with sectionals?" She asked confused from where she was sat in the crook of Luke's arm.
"The theme of the competition is dream, whether our songs are about dreams, or the title has dream in it, does everybody understand?" The mentor asked and got a chorus of yeses. "So shall we put the solo and duet to a vote?" He asked eagerly and again of positive chorus was received.
"I think Adam and Adrianna should do the duet, since they're the co-captains" Chelsea stated from her seat next to Dev. Adam rolled his eyes but nodded.
"That's a good one, thanks. I have just the song Ade" He nudged the girl in the ribs who then smirked because she knew exactly what he was thinking of.
"I think that Cyrus, Luke and Adam and Dev should do a complete male group number" Adrianna suggest and everyone looked at her "Well I've heard that we're up against Jane Adams Academy, and The Unitards, they are both mainly made up of females, like this glee club" she gestured to herself, Hayley, Chelsea, Autumn, Ella and Cassidy "If the boys were to all perform together, it would give us a male edge, showing that choir is cool for boys too?" she finished and Mr Shue actually clapped "That's a brilliant idea Adrianna".
"Exactly like when you let the Troubletones perform one number a competition" Santana nodded "Good idea Berry 2.0"
"Now the solo?" Mr Shue asked and both team captains put their hands up.
"I nominate myself." They both stated before looking at each other and glaring.
"I should get the solo, I auditioned first." Adrianna hissed at Adam
"I don't care if you auditioned first, I should get the solo because I'm better." Adam growled and everybody stared at the two divas.
Blaine stood up "I think Adrianna could should do the solo, I have the perfect song to, if she'd like to try it out with me?" He suggested, both Adam and Kurt glared at the ex-Warbler/New Rachel.
Adrianna smirked at Adam before nodding and going to the centre of the choir room.
"I'm going to play the piano, and you just sing okay Ade?" He asked and began playing the opening notes to a very familiar song he used to sing.
(Teenage Dream Acoustic – Adrianna)
Adrianna recognized the song and her eyes flashed to Hayley. Unmoving she began singing.
You think I'm pretty without any make-up on
You think I'm funny when I tell the punch line wrong
I know you get me, so I let my walls come down, down
Hayley who was sat between Deven and Santana moved to get up and Santana threw her arm across the girls lap and glared at her.
'This chick needs to deal with her issues.' Santana thought to herself.
Brittany started swaying her hands in the air because, she's Brittany bitch.
Before you met me, I was a wreck
But things were kinda heavy, you brought me to life
Now every February you'll be my valentine, valentine
Let'sgo all the waytonight
Noregrets, just love
Wecan danceuntil we die
You and I, we'll be young forever
Adrianna locked eyes with Hayley, who smiled sadly at her.
You make me feel like I'm living ateenage dream
The way you turn me on, I can't sleep
Let's runaway and don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
My heart stops when youlook at me
Just one touch, now baby I believe
This is real, so take a chance
And don't ever look back, don't ever look back
We drove to Cali and got drunk on the beach
Got a motel and built a floor out of sheets
I finally found you, my missing puzzle piece
I'mcomplete
Let'sgo all the waytonight
Noregrets, just love
Wecan danceuntil we die
You and I, we'll be young forever
You make me feel like I'm living ateenage dream

Quickly Adrianna broke eye contact with the girl and looked at Blaine, who had tears in his eyes and was staring straight at Kurt.
"That was brilliant Adrianna" Mr Shue started before Adam interrupted.
"Hell to the NO. If anyone is singing that song it's ME." Adam stood up and walked over to Adrianna "I can do it so much better then she can" He smirked for the legally blonde quote and then eyed the diva up and down.
"Whoa,Whoa, too many flash backs except there's no wheelchairs this time" Kurt commented also standing up, everyone minus Mr Shue, Santana, and Brittany, Quinn looked at Kurt confused.
"You two are going to have a diva-off." He crossed his arms and everyone 'Ooohed' as they stared at the two co-captains.
"Fine." Adrianna deadpanned to her 'friend'.
"Great." He replied.
"Both of you tomorrow afternoon. Buenos Aires" Kurt commented and crossed his arms.
"I was born to sing that song" Adam stared at Adrianna
"I lived it" she replied before storming over to her seat and sitting down. Adam gave her his best HBIC stare. "Well I'd love to stay and see you wallow in self doubt , since the only role you'll ever have is in the Vagina Monologues and I don't mean the play" He looks at Hayley "But I have a 10 time NATIONAL Winning Cheerleading Squad to go and practise with." He smirked and walked off Ella and Cassidy shooting off after him.
Mr Shue shook his head at the two co-captains and turned to Luke and Cyrus.
"Boy's I'd like you too both think of a song that the boys can sing" They both nodded and began packing up with the rest of the group. "I guess I'll see you all tomorrow for the diva off" He sighed before walking out.
Santana, Brittany and Quinn watched Adam captain the Cheerio's in shock. He was ruthless and determined like Quinn, Demanding and bitchy like Santana, yet Loved and Adored like Brittany, and he was just as talented as the three.
"Damn S, you're cousin is good." Quinn commented.
"Well he's a Lopez, what can I say?" Santana replied proudly.
Cassidy waved at Quinn who nodded her head in return.
"Oh god, is this going to be another Kitty?" Santana deadpanned at the girl.
"No because I'm going to set this one straight, I'm going to have a little word with her." Quinn replied and smiled to herself. Once the Cheerio's had finished Adam went back to Santana's with Brittany and Quinn waited for Cassidy.
Cassidy walked out and saw her idol leaning on a locker.
"Hi Quinn." she walked up to the ex Cheerio.
"Cassidy, we need to get a few things straight okay?" Quinn said walking off in the direction of the choir room, Cassidy hot on her tail.
When they reached the choir room Quinn gestured for Cassidy to sit down, obviously the girl complied and Quinn faced her.
"Stop your vendetta against Adam. Now." She commanded with a swift raise of her signature brow.
"What- I.. – I don't get what-" Cassidy stuttered.
"Cassidy, I used to be you. When Santana got Head Cheerio in Junior year, I went and told Coach Sue that she had a Boob Job, just to get back on top." Quinn took a deep breath and shook her head at her immaturity. "We constantly fought, and do you know what?" Quinn asked and the girl stared at her "We are so much better as a team, rather than enemies." She smiled softly.
"So you think I should just let him boss me around?!" Cassidy argued slightly angry.
"No I think you should prove to him that you'd be a good co-captain, or second in command." Quinn replied.
Cassidy nodded and went to say something but Quinn interrupted "And.. don't hate the glee club, they are the best family anyone could ever choose. They were there EVERY time I needed them, and I'm pretty sure they'd do the same for you." Quinn smiled and went into her bag she handed Cassidy some sheet music. "I want us to sing this. Together." She smiled and Brad walked in taking his seat at the piano and began playing
(A change in me – Quinn- Bold/ Cassidy- Italics/Both-Bold Italics)
There's been a change in me
A kind of moving on
Though what I used to be
I still depend upon
For now I realize
That good can come from bad
That may not make me wise
But oh it makes me glad
And I- I never thought I'd leave behind
My childhood dreams
But I don't mind
For now I love the world I see
No change of heart a change in me
For in my dark despair
I slowly understood
Myperfect worldout there
Had disappeared for good
But in it's place I feel
A truer life begin
And it's so good and real
It must come from within
And I- I never thought I'd leave behind
My childhood dreams but I don't mind
I'm where and who I want to be
No change of heart
A change in me
No change of heart
A change in me
Quinn smiled at Cassidy and nodded her head before walking out leaving the girl alone with her thoughts.
Kurt, Santana and Adam where all sat in Breadstix having a cousin date.
"Where is that cheesecake" Adam sighed, he really needed a pick me up since he was fighting with Ade and Dev, and he wasn't really talking to Hayley because she was angry at him for choosing Ade's side in this whole lesbian drama.
"Calm down Primo" Santana sighed and grabbed herself another breadstick.
"Guys.. I need to ask you a question" Adam began and looked at the two adults opposite him.
They both stared back waiting for this 'question' properly something to do with fashion.
"What happened, with.. David Karofsky?" Kurt and Santana both became wide eyed, how did he know about David?
"Who told you?" Santana asked in hushed tones.
"Puckerman" Adam replied and both of his cousins pulled a face.
"Look Adam, it was just .. He was very troubled" Kurt began and stopped there.
"I want to know." Adam pushed and waited for one of them to reply.
"David, is gay. He was a jock at the school when we were students. And he used to bully me. Really bully me, threatening to kill me, daily slushies, and then one day, he kissed me. It turned out he was bullying me because I was comfortable in my sexuality, and he hated that." Kurt stopped and Santana took over.
"Then in Junior year before I got with Britt, he and I dated, as beards, but at Prom he and Kurt got chosen for King and Queen, so he left and joined another school. And no one heard of him for ages."
"Until I bumped into him at a gay bar, and then he wanted to get in touch and on Valentine's Day we met here and he confessed his love for me, clearly I didn't return it, but sadly someone from his school saw us, and outed him to the school."
"David was so confused, and upset, and all of a sudden everybody was leaving horrible comments on his facebook, and on his locker and he couldn't take it. So he attempted to kill himself." Santana finished.
Adam was shocked, he couldn't believe what this poor guy must have gone through, he was popular, he was a jock, and people still bullied him.
"But why?" He asked.
"I don't know, but not everybody is as confident as you Primo, remember that" Santana said just as the cheesecake arrived.
"Hello ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the first official, of this glee club anyway, Diva – Off"
Adrianna and Adam glared at each other.
"Who wants to go first" Kurt asked quite scared.
"Me" Adrianna volunteered.
"Here we go.. In Three.. Two.. One"
The music stared at Adrianna burst into character her full star quality shining.
(Buenos Aires Adrianna- Italics/ Adam – Bold/ Both – Bold Italics)
What's new Buenos Aires?
I'm new, I wanna say I'm just a little stuck on you
You'll be on me tooI get out here, Buenos Aires
Stand back, you oughta know whatcha gonna get in me
Just a little touch of star qualityFill me up with your heat, with your noise

Don't hold back, you are certain to impress
Tell the driver this is where I'm staying
Hello, Buenos Aires

With your nights, watch me coming
All I want is a whole lot of excess
Tell the singer this is where I'm playing

And if ever I go too far
It's because of the things you are
Beautiful town, I love you
And if I need a moment's rest
Give your lover the very best
Real eiderdown and silence.During the musical interlude both diva's danced with each other, enjoying the song, yet they were still determined to win. Everyone was enjoying the powerhouse duet perform, and couldn't wait to see what they were planning for sectionals.
You're a tramp, you're a treat
You will shine to the death, you are shoddy
But you're flesh, you are meat
You shall have every breath in my body
Put me down for a lifetime of success

Rio de la Plata
Florida, Corrientes, Nueve de Julio
All I want to know
Stand back, Buenos Aires
Because you oughta know whatcha gonna get in me
Just a little touch of
Just a little touch of
Just a little touch of star quality!
Everyone burst into a round of applause and both teens stood there out of breath and both smiling.
"Adrianna, that was amazing. I think you should take the solo." Adam said truthfully, after the conversation with his cousins the night before he realized that life was too short to fight, and that he'd get his chance to shine. Adrianna stood their shocked and shook her head.
"Really?"
"Well I want to win don't I" Adam laughed and the whole glee club watched as the diva's came to their own agreement.
