A/N: Thanks for the reviews! I don't know if any of you follow my tumblr but if you do then you already know what I'm going to say. I'm sad to say we are in the last chapters of this story..If my calculations are correct there are 5 chapters left (counting this one)..You'll probably get the chapters earlier now because honestly I just want to finish this story. It's my baby and I love it (and I love all of you really!), but I'm not as into it as I used to be, and I'm not as much of a st berry as I used to be. Thanks to my awesome beta! Hope you guys like it!

Ch 36

Mr. Schue and Coach Beiste had just told everyone that the football players were joining glee club for a week and everyone was pissed.

"If I have to stay I'm not singing no show tunes. That is the music of my oppressor," Azimio said.

"Do you even have any idea what we do in here?" Jesse asked.

"No, none of them do, we have to show them. So when we got back from vacation I told you guys to get into pairs. Does anyone have anything they would like to show us?" Mr. Schue asked.

"We are ready, Schue. Come on, Rach, let's do this thing," Puck said.

"Fine! As offended as I am by their presence here, I won't let anything get in the way of a performance," she said as both of them made their way to the front. Then the notes to Need You Now started playing, and they sang a flawless version of the popular song. Everyone was enjoying the performance even a few football players seemed into it.

"The girl with the Mohawk has a really nice voice," Azimio said. Then fighting started football players against glee clubbers.

"I can't believe that just happened," Jonathan complained, falling on the bed.

""The football players joining the team?" Rick asked.

"Sue wanting to throw Brittany out of a cannon?" Puck asked.

"The Cheerleader ultimatum?" Sam asked.

"Well yeah to all those, but I can't believe we're doing that mash up thing in the half time show," Jonathan said.

"Well it is a big spectacle, and that's what's needed for a good half-time show in a major football game," Jesse stated.

"I don't want to dress up as a damn zombie. I definitely rock the look because let's face it I'm hot, but it's too much work," Jonathan complained

"Are you sure you're pissed about that and not about the other issue?" Rick asked.

"What other issue?" Jonathan asked, pretending not to know what he was talking about.

"You know the whole thing about how the cheerios need to decide between glee club and cheerios?" Sam commented.

"There's no problem there," Jonathan said.

"Sure there isn't," Puck said.

"There is no problem," Jonathan said.

"Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't that part of the reason you guys broke up in the first place?" Jesse asked.

"I hate all of you…" Jonathan said then looked at the ceiling, "but yes I am worried about Quinn's decision. You guys happy now?"

"At least you admitted it," Mike said.

"You're not worried about San's decision?" Sam asked Rick.

"Honestly no. I mean, I would love it if she chose glee club but I get why she would choose the cheerios. It's her choice man," Rick said.

"Man you suck," Puck said.

"Why is that?" Rick asked.

"It's because you're all nice and sweet and it's your choice blab la bla; you make the rest of us look bad, dude," Jesse said.

"Look who's talking, the guy that gave his girlfriend a personalized charm bracelet for Chrismukkah," Jonathan said.

"Oh shut up," Jesse said as the guys started laughing.

"Let's just watch a damn movie," Rick said.

"Avatar?" Sam suggested.

"Too long, we need something with a lot of action," Puck said.

"And preferably no romance, and if there has to be romance, something with small amounts of romance," Mike said.

"I like the way you think." Jonathan said

The next day at school things took a turn for the worse. Not only did the cheerios quit glee club but the football team got slushied, so they decided to quit too. Quinn was at her locker when Jonathan caught up to her.

"I know you're disappointed but I can't go back to not being a cheerio. It wasn't a pretty time for me, and I know it makes me weak but I can't help it. This is who I am and I'm sorry if you don't like that," Quinn said looking anywhere but at him.

"Wow, slow down there, blondie; don't put words in my mouth. I was coming here for an entirely different reason," Jonathan said.

"You're not here to break up with me?" Quinn asked looking at him for the first time.

"I just got you back; there's no way I'm letting you go again," Jonathan told her while taking her books in one arm and taking her hand in the other.

"So what were you coming to tell me before I interrupted you?" Quinn asked.

"I was coming to tell you that although I might not agree entirely with your decision, I understand it and I support it. I love you and it would be idiotic for me to let you go because of an extremely silly thing like this."

"Who are you and what have you done to my boyfriend?" Quinn joked.

"I had a talk with the guys yesterday and it made me realize I would be douche if I didn't respect your decision because it's a part of you, and I love all of you not just the good parts."

"You're actually turning out to be a good boyfriend," Quinn joked.

"I know right; who would have guessed?" Jonathan replied, stopping in front of Quinn's classroom.

"This is my stop..so I'll see you after school?" Quinn asked.

"Definitely babe," he said as he gave her a kiss and left.

I don't think you do (no no no)

So you and me are through

"Guys I'd say we are ready for Regionals," Blaine said.

"Definitely!"

"What do you think Kurt?" Blaine asked.
"Amazing as always," he said.

"Thanks."
"Excuse me, I have to take this," Kurt said.

"Yeah, don't worry."

"Talk to me, Barbie…You called me in the middle of Warbler practice to tell me you have boy troubles? Seriously?...What's the football team got to do with it? Honey, your boyfriend is taller than you, has awesome hair, and is a total miva at times, but if there's one thing about him that I know is that he is not on the football team…so Jesse isn't the problem? Barbie, you're confusing me. You know what, meet me at the Lima Bean you can tell me the full story there. I'll bring Blaine..well, this is obviously about football and he knows a lot more about it than I do..hanging up now," Kurt said as he hung up the phone.

"I take it we have a coffee date with the girls?" Blaine said.

"Yes, it has something to do with football and boy problems. I'm good with boy problems, their ones at least, and you're good with football."

"Awesome, let's go," Blaine said as they left the room.

"And the obliviousness continues," David said.

"Is it me or is the flirting getting more and more obvious?" Jake asked.

"I had no idea you could flirt during Bills Bills Bills," James said.

"How long until the month is over?" Nick asked.

"Approximately 2 or 3 weeks," Wes said.

"I hope for their sakes they get their act together before then," Oliver said.

"Why?" Thad asked.
"Because I know Wes and I know Rachel and if that deadline passes and nothing has changed, they are going to go all out," Oliver said.

"I'm offended by that accusation," Wes said.

"You know it's true," Jeff said.

"At least it would be hilarious to watch," Max said.

"Oh so true," Flint said.

"Medium drip?" Kurt asked.

"That would be me, thank you very much," Blaine said, taking his coffee. He then turned to Bree and Rachel. "Now I don't want to sound cocky or anything, but you guys better be pulling all the stops for Regionals 'cause the number we just rehearsed is so off the hook it's dangerous."

"Seriously people should wear protective headgear when they are watching it," Kurt said when the girls exchanged a look he said, "Guys, we're kidding."
"Yeah well, it's just hard to laugh right now with everything going on in McKinley," Rachel said.

"What exactly happened? I didn't really understand it over the phone," Kurt asked.

"Let's just say our school is so messed up we can't even keep our own football team together," Bree said.

"What do you mean?" Kurt asked.

"You know how I told you about the football team joining glee?" Rachel asked.

"Yeah the whole Thriller thing with the zombies and Sue's ultimatum," Kurt said.

"Well the girls quit glee and the football team got slushied, so they quit too…I just wish there was something we could do to help."

"The worst part is how bummed the guys are. They already suffer enough just being in glee, I think winning would have eased some of the pressure. Especially with Puck, he's an amazing boyfriend and he's so worried about everything right now," Bree said.

"So things are going well?" Kurt asked.

"They are going great on that side of things," Bree said.

"Wait, so the whole team quit?" Blaine asked.
"Everybody not in glee and you can't play football with 5 guys, one of them is in a wheelchair," Bree said.

"Well, technically it's 6 guys because Jon joined up," Rachel said.

"I'm sorry; did you just say Jonathan Sloan joined the football team?" Kurt asked.

"Just for this game," Bree said.

"Coach Beiste put up a sign up sheet for people to join they are taking anyone at this point. Yes, anyone does include my idiot brother," Rachel said.

"The good news is you actually just need four more guys; high school regulations actually let you play a few guys short if you want to.." Blaine said as Bree and Rachel exchanged a look. "But if they find a way to make it work you can bet we'll definitely be there to cheer them on."

"Oh totally, Blaine and I love football…well, Blaine loves football. I love scarves." Kurt said

Game night was here. The girls' clever idea was to join the football team so the Hummel-Hudson family was waiting in the stands along with the Sloans for the game to start. The adults were sitting in one row and the teenagers in another. Kurt, Blaine, Jesse, Rick, and the Warblers in their group were waiting for the game to start when they saw the girls come out.

"This is your fault, you know?" Kurt told Blaine.

"Why is it my fault exactly?" Blaine asked.

"You were the one that said that they only needed 4 more people to join; you practically gave them the idea," Kurt said.

"How was I supposed to know they would join the football team?"

"Please, Rachel and Bree live for plotting and things like that," Kurt said.

"That's true," Wes agreed.

"Why aren't you guys down there?" David asked Jesse and Rick.

"I didn't join because I was originally going to San's Regionals competition but at the last second she told me to do the show instead." Rick said.

"What about you Jesse?" Kurt asked

"Rachel didn't let me join, she said Jonathan joining was bad enough that she didn't need to worry about me too." Jesse said.

"Isn't it supposed to be the other way around?" Jeff asked.

"Have you met Rachel? When she gets an idea in her head there is no changing her mind." Jesse told them.

"We're going down there right before the half-time show," Rick said.

"Yeah, I'd rather watch from up here," Jesse said.

"Plus, they've got one pretty boy to worry about, no need to add Jesse to that," Rick said.

"You're so funny," Jesse said.

"I know, right."

"Kids behave," Burt said then turned to Mark and asked, "How are you holding up?"

"My only 2 kids are playing in a football game. One of them is a teenage girl who is hobbit-sized and the other is my 19 year old son who is not really into sports and he's a model."

"So not good?" Burt asked.

"Is it bad that I'm more worried about Jonathan than about Rachel?" Mark asked.

"It's not bad," Carole said.

"It's just Rachel's got Puck and Sam down there who are not going to let anything happen to her, so while she'll small there's less of a chance she'll get hurt.. He is actually playing and he sucks; there's a lot more of a chance of him getting hurt."

"Perfectly understandable," Burt said.

ST BERRY-ST BERRY-ST BERRY-ST BERRY

"Are you ready for this?" Puck asked Rachel.

"Let's kick some ass!" Rachel screamed.

They all started cheering then the whistle blew for the game to start. To say they sucked was an understatement; they were getting killed and no one knew how to change things. The girls were laying low until Tina decided to actually play. She got pretty far then she was tackled and fell down.

"Tina…is she breathing?" Mike asked the medic.

"Did we win?" Tina asked.

Mike helped her get up and everyone cheered.

"We're still in this," Finn told Puck, Jon, and Rachel.

"Give it up, Finn, our only shot at redemption right now is to kick butt at the half-time show," Rachel said.

"Sam, come here!" Finn yelled as Sam came over. "I need you to play quarterback for the rest of the half."

"Okay," Sam said.

"Puck! When the half ends you've got to go convince Karofsky and the rest of the guys to do the half time show with us," Finn said.

"I've got this, don't worry," Puck said.

"Jon, you and I are going somewhere else," Finn said.

"Where are you going?" Rachel asked.

"You can't have a half-time show without cheerleaders," Finn said as he and Jon ran off to where the cheerios were waiting to board the bus.

"Hey!" Finn yelled.

"What are you guys doing here?" Quinn asked then looked at Jon's uniform. "When did you join the team?"

"No time to explain," Jonathan said.

"We're stopping you from going to Sue's Regionals competition; you guys got to come do the half-time show with us," Finn said.

"Haven't you been listening? If we're not cheerios we're nothing," Quinn said.

"That's not true, Q," Jonathan said.

"Yeah, you guys joined cheerios to be popular but you joined Glee Club because you loved it. Sue doesn't care about you guys. She's okay killing Brittany! If you didn't think it would hurt your reputation, which would you choose?" Finn asked.

"Glee Club," Santana and Brittany answered.

"Quinn baby, I know you and you don't think you are but are strong enough to do this..The girl I love is strong enough to do this," Jonathan told her.

"Okay," Quinn said.

"What about you, San?" Jon asked.

"I'm in! Screw her, she put me in the bottom of the pyramid."

"We've gotta go or we won't make it," Finn said.

"No time for a five-some, ladies, bus leaves in five," Sue said.

"We quit Cheerios," Quinn said.

"You can't quit cheerios! It's blood in, blood out; now get your sweet little asses on that bus," Sue said.

"But we still quit," Santana said.

"You're my stars; if you leave I have no performance."

"Sucks for you," Brittany told her before they ran out of there.

Puck managed to convince the guys to join the show, and Jon, Finn, and the girls got there just in time to change into their zombie things. Jesse and Rick were also there by the time the rest got there. They started singing and dancing along with the band. The performance was pretty incredible, and they even had a fog machine and lights to make it even more incredible. Midway through the song Karofsky joined them in the dance. They decided to keep their zombie make up since they needed all the help they could get. The girls decided to cheer on the sidelines this half. It turns out the zombie make up worked like a charm; especially when the team and the spectators, started screaming, "brains brains". This helped them win the game..

Hopefully this meant things would change at McKinley.
