Plotting

Elliott was very excited about finally having a duet partner (he was extra happy that it was Sebastian) and finding the perfect song. The only problem was that he didn't knew if he was allowed to have 2 people helping him, that was why he was sitting outside Madame Tibideaux's office. He waited for about ten minutes when finally Madame Tibideaux's assistant told him he could enter her office.

"Take a sit Mr. Girlbert" Madame Tibideaux said as she pointed the chair in front of her desk "What can I do for you today?"

"Thank you Madame, I just have a question about the final presentation…"

"Mr. Gilbert, I can't make an exception and let you do the performance alone" Madame Tibideaux interrupted.

"No, it's nothing like that, I just wanted to ask haw many people can help me with the song."

"Oh, I'm sorry Mr. Gilbert it's just that you don't know how many students had come in this week begging to let them do it alone because they can't work well with others. I think no one has come here to ask that since most are making duets, how many people do you need?"

"I'm making a song that needs three voices"

"I think it's ok, I'll allow it, but you need to have the same or more participation than your partners ok?"

"Yes Madame, thank you so much!"

"Can I ask where you fond two people that are willing to share the spotlight with you?"

"Oh, they are two friends that are not from NYADA"

"I figured, well good luck Mr. Gilbert, I'm looking forward to see your presentation"

"Thank you Madame Tibideaux, you will not be disappointed" Now Elliott just needed to ask Ashley if she would help him.

Later that day…

Blaine texted Ashley.

Hey, I finished the song; can I see you tonight at your place to start practicing? – B

Sure! Around 5 is good for you? – A

I'll be there – B

After the little conversation with Blaine she texted Kurt

Blaine is coming over at 5 how about you come over at 8 just to be sure he's not still around? – A

Ok, see you at 8 – K

But then she received a text from Sebastian

Hey, Elliott wants to talk to you, can we come over? – S

Sure! At what time, cause my schedule it's a little tight in the afternoon – A

We're just around the corner – S

Five minutes later the guys arrived to Ashley's place.

"Hi!" Ashley greeted them "How are you?"

"Fine thanks, you?" Sebastian said

"Just going a little bit crazy with Blaine's and Kurt's performance, Blaine is coming over at 5 so we can start practicing and then Kurt is going to come at 8 so Nate can practice with him. What did you wanted to talk about sweetie" Ashley said referring to Elliott

"Well… I finally decided what song I wanna perform at the showcase… but I need a third person. I was wondering if you wanted to be my other partner" Elliott asked

"Sure! But did you check with the school that you can use three people?"

"Yes, I just talked to Madame Tibideaux and she told me that is ok."

"Great! So how about we start practicing right away, before Blaine gets here"

"Perfect"

Elliott showed Ashley the song; they searched for the lyrics and music and started practicing, after a few times of listening to it they finally seemed to bee in sync. When they finished practicing it was already 4:30.

"Sorry guys, I think that's going to be all for today, Blaine will arrive soon and I don't want to give him any hints that I'm not singing with him"

"That's ok, I think we made really good progress in this few hours" Elliott said "Thank you so much Ashley"

"My pleasure sweetie"

"Well I think we'll be going then" Sebastian said

"You don't have to go, I just meant we should stop practicing"

"It's not that I thought you were kicking us out, I think I'll take Elliott to grab something to eat, if you want text us after Blaine is gone so we can hear Kurt practicing and finally listen to the mysterious song"

"Sounds like a plan" Ashley said

A few minutes after Sebastian and Elliott were gone Blaine arrived.

"Hi honey!" Ashley said when she noticed Blaine was in her living room.

"Hey Ash"

"Ready to start?"

"Sure, whenever you want"

Blaine sat by the piano and started playing.

"That day others will help me play the other instruments but this is the basic melody" Blaine said. Ashley took out her phone and started recording the music.

"Could you play it complete so I can record the music and practice with Nate when we can't?"

"Sure, great idea!"

When Blaine finished playing Ashley had a doubt

"How is it that you have to write your own song and melody and the others don't?"

"Well, I study music, Kurt and Elliott are studying musical theater"

"Oh I see"

"Do you know what are they performing?"

"Yep, but I'm not telling"

"Damn, are their songs good?"

"Elliott's is really good, I liked it a lot. And Kurt's is beautiful, just like yours"

"Can't wait to see what songs they chose"

"Well, you are just a month away of finding out"

They continued practicing until 7:30, Ashley had to kick out Blaine by telling him Nate was going to arrive soon to take her out to dinner. When he was gone, she texted everybody else and asked them to come over.

The firsts to arrive were Elliott and Sebastian, then Nate and finally Kurt.

Ashley showed Nate and Kurt Blaine's song so they would practice together and then leaded Elliott and Sebastian to other room so they could practice, they didn't want to hear each others songs till the show case.

They continued with this plan going on and on, praying that Blaine wouldn't catch them, but as the weeks passed by it became more complicated especially for Elliot's team since they hadn't told Blaine that Ashley would be part of his team.

But it all changed one day just a few days before the show…

Cliffhanger I know! But I hope I can finish the next chapter quickly so I can update.

R&R please!
