The next day in Glee Club most of the others performed their numbers.
Mike performed The Way You Make Me Feel for Tina and it was adorable. Finn performed Billie Jean, Sam performed ABC and Puck sang Smooth Criminal. Rachel thought all of their performances were pretty good. Quinn, Brittany and Santana sang Don't Stop Till You Get Enough in a terribly mediocre performance. Artie sang Man in the Mirror and Rachel thought it was probably one of the best performances. Tina sang Wanna Be Startin Something and though she was a little sharp she was pretty good too.
All that was left was Kurt and Mercedes who told them that they would be performing very soon. Rachel hoped that the solos went to her, Kurt and Mercedes and Artie. They were the best (well, she knew Mercedes and Kurt would be spectacular and she knew they had something big in store for them).

She was quite right. The next day at the school assembly and monthly pep rally the cheerios were in the middle of another lame performance that only the guys were really paying attention too when suddenly the music stopped and the cheerios stopped dancing. Brittany kept dancing until Santana tapped her on the shoulder. Most of the cheerios looked confused. Quinn looked furious.
Suddenly, while it was all silent they heard someone cry out
"OW!" Everyone gasped as Kurt and Mercedes came out of the back a big spotlight on them. They looked… fabulous! Kurt was dressed in a black leather jacket and white leather pants with a black zebra print on them. Mercedes was dressed in black leather pants with a black and white zebra printed jacket. They both had black scarves around their heads and white ones around their neck.
Then the music to Black and White started to play. Brittany started dancing along and the cheerios joined in. All except for Quinn who stormed off angrily. But no one noticed her – they were all staring at Kurt and Mercedes.

When they finished everyone burst out into thunderous applause. Rachel was the first to rise to her feet in a standing ovation. They deserved it. And everyone followed suit. But Rachel felt a pang in her heart… it was obvious who won.

The next day in Glee club it was made official
"So I must say Kurt and Mercedes I was so impressed by your performace, and I would be honored if you would be our finale number at Sectionals" Will told them. They both were exstatic and agreed instantly. Rachel sighed.
"I also think I want Puck and Rachel to duet on Smooth Criminal" That was a surprise but Rachel was happy to accept any form of a solo that she didn't have to sing with Finn
"That sounds great" She beamed
"Yeah" Puck agreed
"Okay cool. And the middle number I want to be The Way You Make Me Feel, by Puck, Artie, Finn and Sam. I want you guys rocking out to some old MJ style moves" They all enthusiastically agreed
So it was settled.

Rachel and Jesse still regularly emailed, keeping up their "friends" pretenses. In their latest email Rachel was telling Jesse all about their numbers for Sectionals and she received this reply which nearly made her fall off the chair
Rachel –
I already knew about the setlist. Mr. Schuester told me about it. I'm coming down next weekend to help you guys choreograph!
JSJ
Of course Mr. Schuester didn't check whether it was okay with her! What did he care about his students feelings!
Jesse-
Oh um cool. I didn't know you were helping us with Sectionals this year.
Rachel
She regretted it when his reply came
Rachel-
If you don't want me to I won't.
JSJ
She felt bad so she wrote
J-
No of course I don't mind! I was surprised, that's all. I figured you'd be swamped with school work right now.

She sighed and closed her laptop. That was as much Jesse as she could handle for one night. What was she going to do when she had to come face to face with him?
