AN: I love you guys so much for your reviews! They really mean the world to me! I have, for your reading pleasure, a Mercedes/Santana duet, with a little Puckleberry to get them riled up. It's kinda AU.
Drabble 14
"Can you believe he's with her?" Santana fumed.
Mercedes narrowed her eyes. "He played us both."
"For Man-Hands of all people."
"How should we go about maintaining our...dignity?" Mercedes mused.
"Just follow my lead."
The two rejected girls practiced for the better part of two weeks, getting everything perfect. The day of the performance, before Mr. Schue could start Glee, Santana and Mercedes stepped forward.
"Mr. Schue, if you don't mind, we'd like to perform a song," Mercedes said, smiling.
"By all means, ladies, please do."
A soft Middle Eastern beat began as they stepped to the front of the room and took their places.
Ay
Ay (Mercedes: Nobody likes being played.)
Ay
Oh, Mercedes, Mercedes
Oh, Santana, Santana
Both girls began moving their hips slowly to the beat. Puck sat up just a tiny bit straighter.
(Santana)He said I'm worth it, his one desire
(Mercedes)I know things about him that you wouldn't want to read about
(S)He kissed me, he's a one and only, beautiful liar
(M)Tell me how you tolerate the things I just found out about
Their dance was slinky, sensual, and held the attention of every straight male in the room.
(S)We'll never know
Why are we the ones who suffer?
I have to let go
He won't be the one to cry
Santana let her eyes drift half shut as she danced, knowing that Puck loved when she did that.
Ay! Let's not kill the karma
Ay! Let's not start a fight
Ay! It's not worth the drama
For a beautiful liar
Oh! Can't we laugh about it?
(Ha Ha Ha!)
Oh! It's not worth our time
Oh! We can live without him
Just a beautiful liar
Mercedes couldn't recall the last time she had felt so sexy. The beat and the dance she had learned made her feel how she imagined Beyoncé must feel every day; sexy and unstoppable.
(M)I trusted him, but when I followed you, I saw you together
(S)I didn't know about you then, til I saw you with him, when
(M)I walked in on your love scene, slow dancing
(S)You stole everything, how can you say I did you wrong?
(M)We'll never know when the pain and heartbreak's over
I have to let go
The innocence is gone
Mercedes blatantly winked at Finn, who blushed a deep tomato red.
Ay! Let's not kill the karma
Ay! Let's not start a fight
Ay! It's not worth the drama
For a beautiful liar
Oh! Can't we laugh about it?
(Ha Ha Ha!)
Oh! It's not worth our time
Oh! We can live without him
Just a beautiful liar
(M)Tell me how to forgive you when it's me who's ashamed
(S)And I wish I could free you from the hurt and the pain
But the answer is simple,
He's the one to blame
Hey!
The girls were back to back, facing the members of Glee, and delighting in watching Puck squirm.
Ay! Let's not kill the karma
Ay! Let's not start a fight
Ay! It's not worth the drama
For a beautiful liar
Oh! Can't we laugh about it?
(Ha Ha Ha!)
Oh! It's not worth our time
Oh! We can live without him
Just a beautiful liar
The song ended, leaving everyone staring open-mouthed. Puck had a slightly drooling expression on his face, which gave rise to a glare from Rachel. Mercedes and Santana slapped each other five and sat down.
AN: What did you think? I think that Mercedes and Santana would be an unstoppable duo. Of course, 'Duets' proved it, but I like exploring the concept. The song is 'Beautiful Liar' by Beyoncé and Shakira. And yes, I know that Mercedes is singing Shakira's part. I thought it would be too much if I had it the other way around. As always, please review!
