"I can't believe its almost Christmas!" Rachel said excitedly.

Sebastian gave a pointed look at her, "Aren't you Jewish?"

Rachel rolled her eyes, "Exactly!"

The two of them were walking to the dance studio after school where they would meet up with Artie and Mike.

"Hey guys!" Artie shouted from the other side of the parking lot.

They waved back.

Together, the three walked into the building and made their way to the room they usually took up- but were stopped.

Music was blasting into the studio as Mike Chang danced to it.

Artie looked to Rachel who was holding in her laughter.

Mike Chang was doing the salsa...with a mop.

Sebastian was the only quick thinker and pulled out his phone.

Rachel was holding on Arties wheelchair just to stand up.

Artie buried his face in his hands, but you could see his shoulders shaking.

All of a sudden Mike turned around.

"I love the new cheography!" Rachel stuttered out as she tried to compose herself.

Mike made his way closer to them, "Really Rachel, how about I teach you it then."
"No," She laughed. "I have no idea where that mop has been."

"Come on Berry." He tried to grab her.

Rachel ran laughing into the studio.

Sebastian kept the camera on as Mike chased her around. Finally after a minute, said boy caught her.

Sebastian laughed and placed his stuff on one of the cupboards- unaware he had started a new video.

...

"Hey what's this?" Artie asked as he held up a paper that was sticking out of Mike's bag.

"Ah." Mike tried to grab it but Artie handed it to Sebastian.

"Dance competition - competitors need. Get a scholarship!" Sebastian read aloud.

"A dance competition?" Rachel looked at Mike who was frozen where he stood.

"My parent's don't want me to be a performer. So I have no idea what will happen if they don't want to send me to a dance school."

Sebsastian nodded. "So why don't you do it?"

"Read the fine print."

Sebastian frowned as he spoke, "Couples dances only!"

"Yeah." Mike said.

"So why don't you get Tina to do it - or even Brittany?" Artie asked.

"Brittany's a great dancer yeah, and Tina's really good at tap dancing but-" Mike looked down. "I kind of didn't want alot of people to know. Tina would start going on about how I should actually talk to my parents and Brittany can't keep a secret to save her life."

Rachel nodded. "So you weren't going to do it then."

Mike nodded.

"Too bad we don't know anymore girl dancers." Artie said.

"Yes we do." Sebastian said all of a sudden.

"Who?" Rachel looked at him like he was insane when he pointed to her.

"No." She denied. "I would surely make Mike lose the competition for sure-"

"That's a great idea!" Mike shouted. "I'm made I didn't think to ask you now."

Rachel looked away. "I'm not that good."

"Yes you are." Sebastian said. "I mean- I've seen you do the cheography to almost every broadway musical and you love to perform."

"Come on Rachel," Mike begged. "Please?"

"Rachel looked at the three boys in front of her, she sighed. "Fine."

"Yes." They all yelled.

"If we lose though - I'm blaming Artie and Sebastian for bringing it up." Rachel said.

"Wha-" Artie looked at her.

"That's fine by me." Sebastian said. "Then you can thank us when you win."

Rachel nudged him. "When is this anyway."

Mike sighed, "After Regionals."

"Okay," Rachel said. "Then what should we do?"
