Cause lover's dance when they're feeling in love
Spotlight shining, it's all about us
It's oh, oh, all
About uh, uh, us
And every heart in the room will melt
This is a feeling I've never felt but,
It's all about us
"You want us to sing?" Quinn asked surprised at Ms. Pillsburry, "At your wedding?"
"Yes!"
"Why can't Finn and Rachel do it?" Quinn asked.
"Oh they're also doing a number."
"And Tina and Mike?"
"They're also doing one."
"Why can't it be Mercedes and him?" Quinn asked finally.
Emma looked at her, "As much as I love Mercedes' voice and how hers and Sam's blend well together. I'm more in favor with your and Sam's blending. And how the two of you act together, you act and look more like a couple. Even when you're not."
Quinn sighed, "I'm not getting out of this am I?"
"Well," Emma said laughing, "Sam already agreed."
"What?"
Emma nodded, "Well, I'll see you there, Quinn. Performing with Sam."
Quinn groaned but nodded, knowing that she can never get out of this because he had agreed. She stood up and headed out of Ms. Pillsburry's office, obviously not happy with the news she had just received. She made her way to her locker and saw that Sam was standing there, waiting for her.
"What are you doing here?" she asked once she reached her locker.
Sam stepped away from her locker so she could open it, "I know you're mad."
"Oh no, Sam. I'm actually ecstatic."
Sam's face lightened up, "Really?"
She looked at him, "When will you ever get sarcasm?"
His face fell and she felt bad, "Sorry Q. I just thought that maybe we could start over. If you really don't want to sing with me again, I'll just go tell Mr. Schue, I'm sure they'd understand."
He was about to walk away when she grabbed his hand, "Wait. Maybe we could sing again. But the starting over thing. What's that about?"
Sam smiled, "I just want to be friends with you again, Q. After I came back and after you talked to me then, you never even glanced at me again after I, uh."
"Rejected me," she finished, "After you rejected me because you were in love with Mercedes."
"Q," he started.
She held up her hand, "It's fine Sam. We'll practice after glee rehearsal. I'll see you then."
She walked away and he watched her. He sighed, he shouldn't have rejected her then because he was only trying to get Mercedes back to make her jealous. And it did. And now that he had succeeded with it, she was mad at him and refused to talk to him. Heck he was even lucky she didn't cancel this whole singing thing.
Quinn smoothed her dress. She was wearing a light blue one since it was Mr. Schue's and Ms. Pillsburry, well, now Mrs. Schue's, theme. She looked at herself in the mirror and sighed. She knew she'll be performing with Sam later and she was actually nervous. Especially with their song choice.
"So what song are we gonna sing?" Quinn asked.
Sam was playing with his guitar and he looked at her, "Have you heard of the band, Here Is We?"
Quinn bit her lip, she only knew one song from the band and it was a love song, "Yea."
"Good," he said smiling and put down his guitar. He clamped his hands together, "We're singing All About Us."
She didn't want to sing that song, especially with him, and in front of all those people, "Aren't we suppose to sing a song dedicated to Emma and Will?"
Sam shrugged, "Mr. Schue said that as long we sing a love song, it's cool."
Quinn knew she couldn't get out of this one, "Okay. Go get your guitar and we'll practice it,"
"Nah. I wouldn't need it," Sam said, "I want to dance with you while singing this."
"Q, what are you still doing here?" Santana said once she got inside the ladies' comfort room.
Quinn shrugged, "I needed to calm down."
"Calm down?" Santana asked surprised, "Like seriously Q. You got great confidence within you. So what the hell is bothering you? Trouty mouth?"
Quinn looked at her best friend, "Yes."
Santana placed both her hands on Quinn's shoulders, "Listen Q. You go out there and give Mr. and Mrs. Will Schuester what they asked you. And you go out there and prove to Sam that he doesn't get to you. Channel that HBIC Quinn I slammed on the lockers last year, will you?"
Quinn cracked a smile and hugged Santana, "I will."
She headed back to the reception and saw that Tina and Mike were performing. She knew that after them, it would be her and Sam. She saw Sam heading towards her but she forced her eyes to be glued at the Asian couple.
"Where have you been?" he asked, "I've been looking for you."
"At the ladies' room," she said, "We're next right?"
"Yes."
He took her hand and led her at the side of where Mike and Tina were performing. And then suddenly, Tina and Mike's music stop and both Asians smiled and bowed in front of the audience. Quinn closed her eyes, channeling her HBIC self for a moment before walking over to the center, with Sam following close behind. She heard the music and she smiled to the audience, her confidence up and above.
Take my hand, I'll teach you to dance
I'll spin you around, won't let you fall down
Would you let me lead, you can step on my feet
Give it a try, it'll be alright
Quinn looked at Sam and stretched her hand to him and he gladly took it. She looked at him and he looked ever so handsome. His hair was combed up, giving her the perfect view of his perfectly gorgeous face. He smiled ever so warmly at her and the confidence she had built up, was slowly going down, dangerously.
The room's hush, hush
And now's our moment
Sam was singing with her then and he was looking at her straightly, acting as if there was no audience before them. He pulled her closer to him and he interlaced their right hands together and his left hand was placed on her back. And they both slowly waltzed around the room, like they had practiced.
Take it in, feel it all and hold it
Eyes on you, eyes on me
We're doing this right
They pulled away, looking at each other while moving in a circular motion. I knew that there was intensity there and the way he looked at me, his green eyes so striking with his hair combed up, made me want to melt. And then he suddenly stopped. He walked over to her and placed his hands on the same position they were once in before they pulled away.
Cause lover's dance when they're feeling in love
Spotlight shining, it's all about us
It's oh, oh, all
About uh, uh, us
And every heart in the room will melt
This is a feeling I've never felt but,
It's all about us
They weren't lovers. They weren't even friends. They were just classmates, teammates, exes. They both knew that they wanted to change that status. They wanted to be friends again, they wanted to be together again. But for her, she was afraid. Afraid that maybe she'll get rejected again, that she wouldn't be loved. For him, he was afraid too. Afraid that she might cheat again, afraid of possible losing her again because he knew wouldn't take it.
Suddenly, I'm feeling brave
Don't know what's got into me
Why I feel this way
They had pulled away again. And this time Sam was singing his part to her, not to the newlyweds or to the guests or audience but to her. He held out his hands and she took it, although they had both knew that they had both strayed to the dance that they had practiced. But it didn't matter anymore, they just wanted to be next to each other. They were back to their waltzing position again.
Can we dance, real slow?
Can I hold you, can I hold you close
And then Sam took her hands and placed it on his neck and he placed his on her waist. Now this one, was clearly not what they practiced. Sam kept looking at her, his eyes showing her that he missed her, that he wanted her again, that he still loved her and he will never stop.
They room's hush hush
And now's our moment
Take it in feel it all and hold it
Eyes on you, eyes on me
We're doing this right
They danced really slowly and they were both lost in their worlds. Emma watched them and knew that the two were still in love. So did Will. That was why they both forced them to sing together in their wedding, because they needed to realize it and they just missed hearing them sing together again.
Do you hear that love?
Quinn sang, pulling away from him, a smile gracing her face. Sam smiled back, unable to control it. Quinn then turned to the audience or guests, whatever they put it, smiling at them. Santana laughed as she watched her best friend singing with the guy she loved. It seemed right.
They're playing our song
Quinn walked away from Sam and he followed her. He snaked his arms around her waist and pulled her to him. Smiling when he heard her giggle. He always did love her laugh.
Do you think we're ready?
Oh I'm really feeling it
Sam turned her around and smiled at her. It seemed perfect, it seemed right. Being next to her, singing with her, being able to just hold her whenever he could, to touch. He missed her so much and he knew he needed to act fast or else someone else might take her away from him again.
Do you heart that love?
Do you hear that love?
Quinn could feel another burst of confidence building up. And she knew that it wasn't because she finally channeled her HBIC self but it was because of him. Having him near her, having him touch her gave her a burst of confidence that she once had when they were together.
Do you hear that love?
They're playing our song
Do you think we're ready yet?
Oh I'm really feeling it
Do you hear that love?
Do you hear that love?
Sam grabbed both of Quinn's hands. He then let go of the left one and tucked a stray strand of her hair. She smiled at him. He was always so sweet, so perfect and she let him go. Did she regret it? Of course she did. He was perfect. They were perfect. But her impulse of being the prom queen just got to her. And it ruined everything that was perfect.
Do you hear that love?
They're playing our song
Do you think we're ready yet?
Oh I'm really feeling it
Do you hear that love?
Do you hear that love?
And then they both just stood there, staring at each other's eyes. Sam was now holding both of Quinn's hands and she was just staring at him, as if she was hypnotized to do so. And he was just there, looking at her with his eyes that make her melt every time. And then the music slowed down and they knew that this was the part where they were supposed to sing it acafella style.
Lover's dance when they're feeling in love
Spotlight shining, it's all about us
It's all about us
It's all, all, all, all
Every heart in the room will melt,
This is a feeling I've never felt,
But it's all about us
And then a spotlight shined on both of them and they both turned to it, squinting. And then the music came back and they turned to each other, smiles on their faces. Quinn snaked her hands to his neck and he placed his delicately on her waist. And they both started dancing, not with the rhythm of the song, but with the rhythm of their hearts.
Cause lover's dance when they're feeling in love

It's all about us
And then the music ended and Quinn realized that her and Sam would never happen again, that there would no longer be an 'us' between them because she cheated on him. She looked at the crowd, feigning smile and courtesy before quickly heading out. Sam watched as she did so, glanced at his teammates and teacher and laughing when they were signaling him to go and follow her. And so he did.
He saw her sitting at a loveseat at the lobby of the hotel. He moved closer to her and sat down beside her. He watched her. She was beautiful. He blonde hair was curled and it reached a little below her breast. She was wearing a very pale blue dress, it was almost white, and she had the lightest trace of make up on.
"Quinn," he said softly. She looked up at him and that's when he saw that her eyes were shining with tears, he moved closer to her and wrapped his arms around her, "What's wrong?"
Quinn felt his hands touch her skin and the gentle prickle of electricity she felt once their skin touched. She cried harder, knowing that his touch were not hers to feel anymore. Sam looked at her worried, having no idea what to do.
"What's wrong?" he repeated.
She looked at him, "You and me."
"Us?"
Quinn shook her head, "Just you and me. And the fact that we can never be an "us" again."
"Quinn."
"No Sam," Quinn said sighing, "We can never be back together again because, I cheated on you and I hurt you because I was so selfish. And now you're in love with Mercedes and I'm stuck in the place where I either let go and move on, or stay and hope you'll come back."
"I think I'd want you to choose the latter part."
Quinn looked at him, "What?"
Sam didn't answer her. Instead he just leaned in and captured her lips in a kiss that she had missed for so long. She didn't hesitate to kiss back and she circled her arms around her neck and everything about the world felt right again.
They pulled away, and Sam rested his forehead to hers smiling, "I love you."
"I love you too."
It's all about us.
