"School starts tomorrow Blaine." Rachel reminded him softly.
He paused. "So?" Then he resumed kissing her neck and her left ear.
She sighed, whether in pleasure or in agravation, Blaine didn't know. "I want you to come to McKinley."
Blaine groaned, slumping down in his seat. "You and Kurt both do."
"Well, then, come to McKinley. Please!" Rachel begged, clasping his hands in hers.
"Rachel, the Warblers are my boys. I wouldn't live without them. Our secret would be out without them."
Rachel deflated quickly. "But-"
"Rachel." Blaine said sternly.
Rachel grumbled quietly but other than that, she dropped the subject and returned her attention to the movie playing on her television. Blaine reached over and pulled her into his lap. She leaned against his chest and sighed. Blaine resumed kissing her neck softly, playing with her hair as well. Rachel made a sound between a moan and a sigh, leaning her head back a little for him to have better access.
Blaine went a little lower, still kissing her neck. Rachel didn't seem to mind. Blaine decided to test his luck and go lower, to her collarbone. She was wearing a tanktop, which was surprising, but Blaine sure as hell didn't mind.
"Yellow light Blaine. Yellow light." She whispered.
Blaine stopped his actions and sat back against the headboard of her bed. Rachel layed her head on his shoulder and continued to watch the movie.
"I still want you to go to McKinely."
*.*.*.*.*
"Why are all our trophies on the floor, Mr. Schue?" Tina asked, folding her arms.
"I was so sure that Nationals trophy would grow over the summer." Brittany said with her hands on her hips.
"Maybe somebody forgot to water it." Rachel muttered sarcastically under her breath. Kurt heard her and smirked.
"I want this image burned into your mind. This is the difference between what first place and twelft place looks like. And what it feels like." Will said, picking up their Nationals trophy.
Noah walked to his seat, along with Tina and Brittany. "You plan on bumming us all year long?"
"No, I don't. I plan on pushing you harder than you've ever been pushed. We made it Nationals last year. This year, I'm not going to let anything or anyone stop us from winning at all. I let you down last year. I lost focus and let some Broadway pipe dream get in the way."
"And we're really sorry that the guy who replaced you in April Rhodes' show got the Tony," Rachel said, sitting up in her seat. "I can only imagine your regret."
"Yeah, you know what I regret? Being the laughing stock of the show choir world." Mercedes said.
"And that's saying something." Artie said, frowning.
"Mercedes is right," Kurt spoke from his seat next to Rachel. "I am not denying that our two songs were absolutely amazing, but chemistry was off. Rachel and Finn did not seem in-sync."
Finn nodded and a few joined in, just because they knew that they had to play along.
"Yeah, and now the school hates us even more now." Mike said, and Tina rubbed his shoulders.
"And that is why we have to work even harder this year to recruit new members. We are three men down."
"We only because Puckerman couldn't convince Zizes to stay."
"She's the one that got away," Noah said, looking away. "Really slowly."
"Where's Quinn?" Tina asked, changing the subject.
"MIA. No one's heard from her. It's sad, I miss her." Artie said, frowning.
"No one's going to join, Mr, Schue," Mercedes said hopelessly.
"They will." Will insisted. "All they need is a little inspiration and I happen to have some. Thanks to Al Moda's Perfect Pianos. Bring 'em in guys!"
The AV Club wheeled in three purple painos.
"Woah, woah, woah!" Kurt said, grinning. "Okay, okay...if there's purple pianos in this, I'm on board!" Kurt said.
Will sat on one of the pianos. "These painos were respossed from foreclosed homes. They're cast-offs, just like us. Used, in need of repair."
"But I bet they're still capable of making beautiful music."
"Right. So, thanks to Mr. Moda, a lover of the arts, agreed to give us these pianos. I fixed them up, painted them purple, and the Purple Piano Project was born." Santana and Brittany rushed down to the painos and Kurt, Tina and Rachel followed.
"I'm going to be placing these painos randomly thorughout the school and whenever you see one, I want you to, no matter what you are doing, I want you to sing a song. Now use this assingment to attract kids to Glee Club. " Kurt laid on top of the darkest purple piano and Tina started pushing keys mindlessly. "Kids who are just like you. Kids who can't keep the music inside. Those are the kinds of kids we need to win it all this year. Now for many of you, this is your last year. Let's make it special."
Rachel glanced at Kurt and then at Tina and Brittany. The three girls were all thinking the same thing, along with many others, but no one knew what to do.
*.*.*.*.*
Blaine and Rachel sat in silence in Blaine's car. They weren't going anywhere and it was raining softly. Rachel was sipping her hot chocolate slowly, staring out the window. Blaine waited for her to say something and finally broke the silence. "What's wrong Rach?"
"So...Juliard doesn't have a musical theatre department." Rachel whispered after a long pause.
Blaine looked at her. "What?"
"But New York Academy of Dramatic Arts does. And they have a mixer on Thursday. Kurt and I are going to go and we are going to show them what we can do." Rachel said quietly.
"I talked to him today. He really wants me to transfer to McKinley."
"If Kurt and myself want you to transfer, then transfer to McKinley." Rachel said, looking at him. "I...I want to go public Blaine. I want to love you in public, not in this car or my bedroom, or some secret hiding spot. I want to love you in McKinley. I don't want to...compete with you this year to go to Nationals. I love you Blaine," Rachel said and looked back out the window. "I love you so damn much. And I want to spend every minute of every day with you."
Blaine reached out and took her hand and Rachel looked back at him. Her eyes were shining with unshed tears and one ran down her cheek. Bliane wiped it away gently. It began to pour and Rachel sniffed.
"Rachel, you have no idea how much I love you. But you also have to how much I know it will kill Kurt."
"Blaine-"
"Rachel. Let me finish," Blaine pleaded. She nodded. "I love you so much, but how can I break up with Kurt without breaking his heart? It's not going to be possible to do that. Just give me a little more time-"
"You can have all the time you want. I'm gone." Rachel snapped, ignoring the rain and getting out of the car. She threw her hot chocolate at the ground and slammed the door shut.
Blaine opened his and stood up, yelling, "Rachel! Rachel, get back her!"
"Blaine. I'm tired of you saying that you need moe time. I'm just...I'm tired of it." Rachel yelled and began walking towards her house.
"What do you want me to do Rach?" Blaine looked desperate, so desperate that Rachel stopped storming to her house and turned to him.
"I want you to decide what you want." Rachel said and opened the front door, walking in and closing it.
Rachel leaned against the door and sighed. Blaine sat back down in his car and sighed.
"This is becoming difficult." Rachel and Blaine whispered to no one.
*.*.*.*.*
"Look, I've got a bar of soap and a bottle of peroxide with your name on it in my locker." Quinn chuckled. "Come on Quinn. You can't break up the Unholy Trinity." Santana said.
"I've got new friends now. And they accept me for who I am. Deal with it." Quinn said, walking away from Santana and Brittany to go to 'The Skanks' under the bleachers. Shelia lit her lighter and Quinn started smoking one of her cigarettes.
"Quinn?" Quinn turned to see Rachel. "Hello...Skanks." She nodded towards the rest of the girls.
"You're friend stinks like soap Quinn." One of the Skanks said.
"We were friends once. Even though you cut off all your hair last year, I knew it wouldn't solve any of your problems, I should have spoken up. But when you dropped out of society this summer after we went to Lake Eerie and started dating that 40-year-old bus driver, I should've-"
"I'm not coming back to Glee Club." Quinn said sternly.
"We need you." Rachel said desperately. "Okay, have you seen those pruple painos around school? We're doing this, this big recruiting number and it's going to be a tribute to the Go-Gos! Who doesn't love the Go-Gos? We need your tremulous alto and your Belinda Carlisle glamour."
"I'll give you ten bucks to let me beat her up for you Quinn." The Mac said.
"I'm sorry you're so sad Quinn." Rachel said. "Maybe you're not going to believe me because we weren't the closest of friends, but I'm sad not seeing you in the choir room. We've all been through so much together, we're a family and this is our year to get it right. We would love for you to come back to the Glee Club. Whenever you're ready...okay." She turned and left.
*.*.*.*.*
Blaine opened the door to McKinely. He "strutted" down the hall, one foot in front of the other, adjusting his pink, white and black striped bowtie as he walked to find Rachel. (Kurt too, but Rachel was his priority.) He wore hot pink pants that only went down to his ankles and a black t-shirt. His famous pink sunglasses were on his pocket, able for use at a moment's notice.
Rachel was at her locker, putting her books from the morning in it. The lunch bell just rang and she was on her way to the cafeteria.
"Hello." Blaine said, leaning against her locker. He was kind of nervous since they hadn't spoken since their argument, but at least she looked at him.
"Blaine...what are you doing here?"
"Well...I figured I should come and see my girlfriend." Blaine said, winking.
Rachel smiled and looked down. "Girlfriend?"
"Of course." He kissed her forehead quickly. "But...I still have to-"
Rachel nodded. "I get it. I'm sorry I yelled. I'm just..."
Blaine nodded. "I know, I understand Rachel. I love you. Meet me in the courtyard in five minutes."
"Why? Wait, you're not in your Warbler's uniform." Rachel put the pieces together. "Wait...wait...you transfered?" Rachel squealed.
Blaine smiled widely. Rachel smiled and threw her arms around him. "Oh my god...you - did you do this for me?"
"Of course I did."
"No. No, if you did it for me, then, I mean, it's so romantic, but it could lead to resentment and anger which could lead to our break up and then it would be awkward and-"
"Rachel! Calm down. I did it for you, not Kurt, or me, or anyone else. I did it for you and I'm glad I did."
"Why?"
"Because I can't stand to be away from the person I love." Blaine said.
Rachel blushed and kissed him softly, making sure no one was paying attention to them. "I love you."
"I love you too, Rach. I'll meet you there in five minutes."
Rachel nodded and skipped out to the courtyard. She stood at the top of the stairs, waiting for him to come, smiling from ear-to-ear.
"Why are you so happy Rachel?" Brittany asked, coming up to stand by her in her Cheerio's uniform. Santana stood next to her.
"I saw Blaine in the office today. I was on my way to Sue's office and there he was. In Principal Figgin's office. Did he transfer?" She asked.
"He did!" Rachel said.
"Five second dance party!" Brittany said and she started dancing.
"Did he do this because of you?" Santana asked quietly. Rachel nodded, smiling. "Oh Berry, he's so in love with you."
"But what about Kurt?" Brittany asked. "I mean, he and Blaine are still dating, and you two are secretly dating and now he transfered to McKinley, for you. This would most likely kill Kurt."
Rachel deflated a bit. "I know Brittany. I know..."
Blaine walked out of the school building with Kurt's hand in his. Rachel looked towards him and smiled. The purple piano was sitting at the bottom of the stairs and Brad sat on the bench. Brittany, Santana and Rachel raced down the stairs and the three of them sat on a bench as Blaine placed Kurt in front of them. Blaine winked, and Rachel knew it was for her but Kurt thought it was for him and then Blaine put on his famous pink sunglasses.
Brad began to play the piano and the rest of the band began to play and Blaine began to sing.
"It's not unusual to be loved by anyone, it's not unusual to have fun with anyone, but when I see you hanging about with anyone, it's not unusual to see me cry...oh, I wanna die..." Blaine danced and the Cheerio's danced behind him, Santana in front with him. Blaine danced away slowly.
"It's not unusual to go out at any time, but when I see you out and about, it's such a crime. If you should ever wanna be loved by anyone, it's not unusual – it happens every day. No matter what you say. You find it happens all the time! Love will never do, what you want it to. Why can't this crazy love be mine?" Blaine took off his sunglasses and threw them. Kurt just barely caught them and Rachel laughed.
"It's not unusual to be mad with anyone, it's not unusual to be sad with anyone, but if I ever find that you've changed at anytime. It's not unusual to find out I'm in love with you! Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh! Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh! Oh-oh..." The Cheerios sprinkled something on the piano during the last bit of the song and then Quinn, who had been smoking a cigarette, walked down the stairs and flicked it towards the paino.
The minute the cigarette hit the piano, the piano burst into flames. Everyone just stared at it as the flames rose higher and Quinn walked away without a sound.
"Okay then..." Blaine muttered.
*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*
"You make me want to be your boyrfirend."
Kurt smiled at Rachel. "I already have Blaine for that don't I?"
Rachel's smile faltered. Kurt looked at her weirdly and she changed the subject.
"You're going to get in too, I know it." Rachel said, nodding.
Kurt shook his head, looking down. "I doubt it. I'm thin on extracuriculars."
"It's not too late. I mean, you can still sign up for some clubs or student council." Rachel dabbed her eyes and Kurt looked at her. "I'm not the only feirce one." She sniffed. "Swear it. We're going to do this."
Kurt smiled and held out his hand for a pinky swear. Rachel linked her pinky with him and they let go, doing spirit fingers after they let go. Both of them laughed a bit.
"You realize we just did the gay high-five." Kurt said.
"Yeah we did." Rachel laughed.
*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*
"Ladies and gentlemen, let's hear it for Glee Club's newest member, Mr. Blaine Anderson!" Will annouced and everyone clapped.
"Thanks so much everyone, I'm so thrilled to be here. It's gonna be a great year, I can feel it. We're all going to goto Nationals." Everyone but Finn clapped.
"Is there a problem Finn?" Will asked.
"I just want Blaine to know that we're not the Warblers." Rachel frowned immediately and scooted away from him, closer to Noah. "You know, we're not into the bells and whistles, or the ball hog."
"I'm sorry, Finn. Did I do something wrong?" Blaine asked.
"Well, yeah. You set a bonfire in our courtyard."
"Actually doorknob, that was an act of political protest." Santana said, smirking.
"Which leads me to the next order of business," Will said, walking over to Santana. "Santana. You need to leave. It was you and the Cheerios who set fire to our piano. How could you do that?"
"Mr. Schue, Sue made me." Santana said, defending herself.
"Brittany didn't do it."
"Well, I was going to help, but I'm a water sign, so."
"You're banned from Glee. Don't come back unless you can be loyal to this club as the rest of the people in this room." Will said. Rachel looked down at her hands, and played with her nails. Blaine cleared his throat quietly as Kurt took his hand. Will gestured towards the door and Santana stared at his hand.
"You know what. I could use a break." Santana said, standing up and stepping down to the floor. Brittany watched her go like a sad puppy dog and Mercedes slouched in her seat. Noah looked at Will in disbelief and Blaine glanced between Kurt and Rachel quickly.
"I don't really think that was nesacary, Mr. Schue. It was Quinn who actually set the piano on fire." Mercedes said. Brittany and Tina nodded.
"But the Cheerios would've. I have said it before and I will say it again. If we want to win Nationals this year, we need to be united." Mercedes remained silent. "Rachel you had an announcment?"
"Oh, uh, yeah. After pushing the envelope last year, I strongly believe that we should secure the rights of, shall we say a less controvesial show for our school musical. Wait for it...West Side Story!"
"Is that the one with the cats?" Brittany asked, totally depressed.
"And it just so happens to have a lead role that showcases my talent and essence perfectly. Maria." Rachel continued, without acknowledging Brittany.
"And there will be open auditions, right?" Mercedes asked as Rachel sat back down. "Because Mercedes is feeling extremely pretty this year."
"Kurt," Will said. "You had something too, right?"
Kurt nodded and jumped up. "Kurt Hummel is wading into McKinley High's shark invested political waters and running for senior class president!" Rachel and Blaine clapped. "I thank you in advancve for your votes." Tina and Brittany clapped too.
"Okay...so much excitement. Now, let's reherse."
"Look at what they did to use Mr. Schue," Tina started. "Just like what they did to the pianos. They ripped out our guts, threw crap at us and burned us up."
"Yeah, they did. We got hit pretty hard. But..." He pressed a few keys on one of the pianos. "These pianos are still making music. And so are we."
"Mr. Schue, as always, you and I are on the exact same page." Rachel said, standing up and walking to the center of the room. Brad sat at the piano behind her and she smiled at everyone.
"You can't stop an avalanche as it races down the hill. You can try to stop the seasons, but you know you never will. And you can try to stop my dancing feet, but I just cannot stand still...'Cause the world keeps spinnin' round and round, and my heart's keepin' time to the speed of the sound. I was lost 'til I heard the drums, then I found my way...'Cause you can't stop the beat...5, 6, 7, 8!" Rahcle sang, smiling wide.
"Ever since this whole world began, a woman found out if she shook it, she could shake up a man, and so I'm gonna shake and shimmy it the best that I can today. 'Cause you can't stop the motion of the ocean or the sun in the sky. You can wonder, if you wanna, but I'll never ask why. And if you try and hold me down, I'm gonna spit in your eye and say...that you can't stop the beat!" Everyone sang and danced aroudn on the stage in the auditorium.
"You can't stop the river as it rushes to the sea." Kurt sang.
"You can try to stop the hands of time, but you know it just can't be!" Artie sang after him.
"And if they try to stop us, Seaweed, I'll call the N double A C P! Cause the world keeps spinnin' round and round, and my heart's keepin' time to the speed of sound. I was lost 'til I heard the drums, then I found my way. 'Cause you can't stop the beat! Ever since we first saw the light, a man and woman like to shake it on a Saturday night and so I'm gonna shake and shimmy it with all of my might today. 'Cause you can't stop the motion of the ocean, or the rain from above, you can try to stop the paradise we're dreamin of. But you cannot stop the rhythm of two hearts in love to stay, 'cause you cant stop the beat!"
"You can't stop today." Mercedes sang.
"No!" Brittany and Tina yelled.
"As it comes speeding down the track."
"Oooh, yes!"
"Yesterday is history."
"And it's never comin' back!"
"Look ahead cause-"
"Tomorrow is a brand new day, and it don't know white from black!" Mercedes sang.
"Yeah!"
"'Cause the world keeps spinnin' round and round, and my heart's keepin' time to the speed of sound. I was lost 'til I heard the drums, then I found my way, 'cause you can't stop the beat! Ever since we first saw the light, a man and woman like to shake it on a Saturday night and so I'm gonna shake and shimmy it with all of my might today! 'Cause you cant stop the motion of the ocean, or the rain from above, they can try to stop the paradise we're dreamin' of, but you cannot stop the rhythm of two hearts in love to stay, cause you can't stop the beat!"
"Oh, oh oh! Oh, oh oh! Oh, oh, oh oh! Ever since we first saw the sun, a man and woman like to shake it when the day is done, and so we're gonna shake and shimmy it and have some fun today! 'Cause you can't stop the motion of the ocean or the rain from above! You can try to stop the paradise were dreamin' of, but you cannot stop the rhythm of two hearts in love to stay!"
"You cant stop the beat!" Half the Glee Club sang.
"You can't stop the beat!" The other half sang.
"You cant stop the beat!"
"You cant stop the beat..."
"You can't stop the beat!" Everyone sang and laughed once it was over, completely out of breath but a family once more.
