Benefits of a Tragedy
"Tell me what the song is?" Kurt begged.
Sam chuckled. "Nope."
Kurt glared at him for a second before turning to his other best friend with a pouty look on his face.
"Please 'Cedes." Kurt whined.
Mercedes holds back a laugh. "Sorry Kurt, but you know the rules. Mr. Shue said that we're not supposed to reveal our songs. To anyone."
Kurt sighs and sits back in his seat. he begins picking through his food on his lunch tray. Sam and Mercedes trade smirks.
"This is totally unfair. I think he did it on purpose."
Sam grinned. "And why do you say that?"
"For one, he paired me with my brother. And then he paired my two best friends into a duet. And then we're not allowed to share our duets." Kurt complained.
"Well the winner receives $50 to that new clothing store. I need that beau." Mercedes said.
Sam chuckled. "Unless you want to tell us what your duet with Finn is." Sam dared.
Mercedes grinned at her partner while Kurt glared.
"I see your point. No sharing duets. But no this." Kurt sits up and leans towards the two. "we will win, then I am going on a shopping spree. I'm taking you guys with me, and then rubbing it in your face." Kurt sits back in his chair and lets out a breath.
Mercedes and Sam start laughing.
"You do realize that you're going to have to share that gift card with Finn, right?" Mercedes said with a smile.
Kurt groaned. "Well what about you two."
"I'm giving it to Mercedes. I've got enough clothes. And besides, it'll be funny so help Mercedes show off her new outfit to make you jealous." Sam said.
Kurt shoots a glare at him before going back to his food.
"Come on Finn. There are two groups tomorrow and we have to make sure that we're better than them."
Finn groaned as he repeated Kurt's choreography.
"Come on Kurt. I'm tired. We've been at this for hours. Can't we just take a break." Finn whined.
"A break, a break?" Kurt yelled.
Finn rolled his eyes and went back to the dance.
"Alright guys. First duet of the day is Sam Evans and Mercedes Jones."
Mr. Shue jumped down from the stage as the lights flickered on. The stage was covered with a pattern of black and blue lights. Mercedes, dressed in black, sat on a stool to one side, while Sam, also dressed in black, sat to the other side.
The light shines down on Mercedes.
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars?
I could really use a wish right now
Wish right now
Wish right now
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars?
I could really use a wish right now
Wish right now
Wish right now
Mercedes's light goes off and Sam's flickers on as he stands up and begins to rap.
Yeah, I could use a dream or a genie or a wish
To go back to a place much simpler than this
'Cause after all the partyin' and smashin' and crashin'
And all the glitz and the glam and the fashion
And all the pandemonium and all the madness
There comes a time where you fade to the blackness
And when you starin' at that phone in your lap
And you hopin' but them people never call you back
But that's just how the story unfolds
You get another hand soon after you fold
And when your plans unravel in the sand
What would you wish for if you had one chance?
So airplane, airplane, sorry I'm late
I'm on my way so don't close that gate
If I don't make that then I'll switch my flight
And I'll be right back at it by the end of the night
The lights flicker on on both sides. Mercedes says seated and sings while Sam walks to her and sings.

Sam holds a hand out to Mercedes, she takes it and stands up. They walk to the middle of the stage and sing.
I could really use a wish right now {oh, oh-oh}
(I could really use a wish right now)
I-I-I could really use a wish right now
(I could really use a wish right now)
Like, like, like shootin' stars {oh, oh... oh}
(Like shootin' stars)
I-I-I-I could really use a wish right now
(I could really use a wish right now)
A wish, a wish right now
(A wish right now)
New Directions stands up and cheers. Kurt smiles when his best friends share a hug.
Kurt turns to Finn. "This is why we need to get our choreography done."
Finn grunts as he sits back down by Rachel.
"Wow guys. You did amazing." Mr. Shue clapped.
Sam throws an arm around a blushing Mercedes.
"It's thanks to you. You gave us a great song." Sam looks at Kurt. "Mercedes can't wait to flaunt off her new outfit."
Kurt rolls his eyes as his two friends approach him. He pulls them into a hug. Sam keeps his arm on Kurt's shoulders after his hug.
"You guys really did do a great job." Kurt admitted.
Sam smiled. "Thanks Kurt."
Kurt raises and eyebrow. "It's all thanks to Mr. Shue." He looks from a stunned Sam to a giggling Mercedes. "You guys make a great couple."
Sam blinks his eyes in confusion. Mercedes blushes.
"Thanks Kurt." She says quietly.
Sam raises and eyebrow. "Yeah thanks . . . I think."
