A/N: Hey, Readers. Fair warning, I didn't proofread this 'Episode'. Again, please don't hate me for any typos etc. Thank you. Hope y'all like it.

Blair sat in her living room and went through a box of things that she pulled out of storage. It was filled of memories that she wasn't ready to face before but felt better about it now. She pulled out the gymnastics awards she won over the years and set them aside to get to what she was looking for. At the bottom of the box was an envelope filled with pictures. Blair looked through them with a melancholy expression on her face. The laughing faces of her parents and herself during her childhood, Blair and her mom belting out some song while her dad played on the piano, birthdays, and events of the like. It broke her heart that she would never have memories like this with them again.

Blair rolled up her sleeves and took out another pack of pictures from when she was a baby. When a certain image came up, Blair froze. It was a picture of her mom in the hospital bed, holding her newborn baby, her dad standing beside the bed proudly, and on the other side with a wide smile on her face was…Sue. "What the?" Blair scrambled to her feet and went into Sue's bedroom with the picture in hand. "You never told me you were there when I was born."

Sue took the picture from Blair, saying, "Of course I was. I am your Godmother after all."

Blair took a double-take at that moment. "You're my what? How did I not know about this?"

"Did Viv never tell you about your Auntie Syl?" When Blair nodded in a 'yeah, so' manner, Sue pointed to herself. "That's me."

Blair couldn't believe what she was hearing. "What? Auntie Syl was my mom's best friend. You are not how she described."

"It was a long time ago." Sue waved her hand dismissively. "We drifted apart but she always kept me updated about you." She could see that Blair was having a hard time wrapping her head around this. "Despite what you think, I do care about you."

Blair felt like her entire view on the world had just turned inside out. "I'm going to clean up the living room." She couldn't think of anything else to say and just turned around to book it out of there.

Sue still had the picture in her hand so she brought it over to her closest. She pulled down a shoebox that was filled with letters and pictures from her old friend and added that one to the collection.

"No. Way." Kurt couldn't believe what Blair just told him as they walked down the hall to class. "Sue Sylvester is your godmother? That means she managed to walk into a church without bursting into flames."

Blair couldn't help but laugh at that. "It explains why she's my legal guardian. When the lawyer told me I was gonna be living with her he just said it was stipulated in their will and there wasn't anyone else. He then told me when I turn eighteen I'm gonna get a fifty grand inheritance but can't touch it until then."

Kurt stopped dead in his tracks when she said that. "Are you serious?"

Blair nodded in a 'yep' manner.

"You are officially my new best friend." Kurt sounded more excited about it than she was.

"Oh, so it's not my sparkling personality that makes me your new best friend?" She was definitely teasing him.

"It's the money." Kurt was kidding of course, but he couldn't get the vision of a massive shopping spree out of his head. "Money which you could share with your new best friend who will most likely be in dire need of a new wardrobe by then."

Blair shook her head and laughed because Kurt was just something else and that was one of the things she liked most about it. "If we're still friends by then I promise to take you shopping."

Kurt was practically beaming now. "Speaking of shopping, did you do some recently? You're not wearing all black…or long sleeve for that matter."

Blair stopped at her locker and looked down at her dark purple and black striped tank top. "Didn't feel like it today."

It wasn't until Blair reached into her locker that he saw the scars on her forearm but didn't say a word about it. Everyone had a story – himself included – and it wasn't his place to pry. "Well, purple is a good look on you. You should get purple highlights in your hair. That'd be epic."

"I don't get the money until I'm eighteen, Kurt," Blair countered as she closed up her locker. "Let's save the makeover plans until then."

Kurt linked his arm with hers as they walked. "On your eighteenth birthday you will be presented with an array of binders full of possible makeover options because I am determined for us to still be friends by then."

Blair playfully narrowed her eyes at him. "I feel like I'm being challenged."

Kurt gave her a sideways grin. "Is it working?"

She nodded once. "Challenge accepted."

"Excellent!" Kurt was back to beaming again. "And for the record, even if you didn't promise me a shopping trip I still would be determined to be your friend by then."

"I know." Blair gave Kurt a friendly peck on the cheek. "This is my stop. Later, loser."

"Later, jerk," Kurt answered and went on his way.

Glee Club wasn't like it used to be. After Rachel told Mr Schue that he wasn't a qualified choreographer and she thought they should hire someone named Dakota something or other, Mr Schue seemed to lose his mojo. At least where the Glee Club was concerned. He started his own group called the Acafellas and either missed Glee rehearsals completely or didn't pay much attention to anything when he was there.

"This is ridiculous," Blair scoffed as she sat on top of the grand piano in the Glee room. "It's been two weeks. I thought we were a priority to him."

"Doesn't help a guy's ego when he gets kicked in the nads," Finn answered as he poked at the piano keys.

"Why did Rachel have to go off on him like that anyway?" Liam interjected from his seat in the back row. "The choreography wasn't the greatest, we all know that, but there were better ways to go around it."

Quinn placed her hand on her chest, saying, "I'm sorry, brother, but I happen to agree with Rachel. If we're ever going to make it then we need professional help. Did you not see Vocal Adrenaline's videos? We don't stand a chance against them without it."

"I for one believe in putting in the effort instead of casting someone aside just because they're not perfect," Liam shot back.

Their conversation was cut off when Rachel walked into the room with her tray of I'm Sorry sugar cookies. "He's not coming."

Finn waved his hands towards Rachel. "Of course he doesn't want anything to do with us after you kicked him in the nads."

Kurt raised his hand as he said, "Can we please stop talking about kicking in the nads? Blair is getting that evil gleam in her eye again so I think she's planning on evolving from punching."

As a result of that being pointed out, every guy in the room covered their 'family jewels'.

Rachel ignored this and responded to what Finn said. "If it was such a problem then why did he thank me?"

"The goal is to win," Santana interjected. "And now that Mr Schuester has agreed to let us hire Dakota Stanley, we can."

"I said it before and I'll say it again – This is ridiculous." Blair waved her hand around the room a bit as she talked.

Finn happened to agree with her. "Mr Schue doesn't really want us to. He just doesn't have the confidence to coach us anymore. Guys are real sensitive when it comes to this kind of stuff."

Rachel couldn't believe this. "And that's my fault?"

Blair plucked a sugar cookie off the plate, saying, "See anyone else with a plate of 'I'm sorry' cookies?"

Rachel scoffed at Blair for that. "You're supposed to be on my side!"

"And I am…just not with this." Blair took a bite of the cookie with a mild shrug.

Quinn stood up from her seat. "I'm bored. All those in favor of hiring Dakota Stanley?" She raised her hand and a bunch of the other Glee members did too. In fact…the majority did.

Blair sat on the stairs outside during lunch period and almost jumped out of her skin when Finn and Liam joined her. "I swear you guys just materialize out of nowhere."

"Is that a good thing?" Finn asked as he sat on the step in front of Blair.

"I think she's trying to say we scared her." Liam sat on the step right behind her. "So, what are we going to do about this Dakota person? Are we seriously going to sit by and let them take over Glee?"

"Why do you even care?" Blair shot back as she looked at him. "You literally just joined."

"It was love at first song," Liam answered in a dreamy tone of voice, making Blair roll her eyes and Finn laugh.

"I say we strike. If Mr Schue doesn't come back then we quit." Finn took a bite out of his sandwich. "It probably wouldn't phase Rachel. She already said she wouldn't care if anyone quit."

Blair handed Finn a much needed napkin because he had mustard all over his chin. "You'd think she'd care more. If there aren't enough members then the club can't even qualify for Sectionals and then Glee Club will no longer exist. Maybe threatening to quit will work. We're only a few members short as it is, but if we all leave then they're back to needing to double their members. It's actually not a bad plan."

Blair looked between the guys asking, "Since when did we start eating lunch together?"

"Since right now." Liam grinned as he took a drink from his soda can. "Or did you miss the memo?"

Blair threw a wadded up napkin at him.

"At least she didn't punch you," Finn laughed and ended up getting pelted in the head with a napkin as well.

"As fun as this is, I have free period next so I'm headed to the Auditorium." Blair cleaned up her mess and headed down the stairs.

Liam didn't take his eyes off her once as she walked away.

Finn noticed this and laughed. "Dude, just ask her out already."

Liam set his soda can down beside him. "If I ask her out now it'll be a definite no. I plan on waiting until it's closer to a maybe."

"If you wanted a better chance with her then you probably shouldn't have repeatedly Slushied her best friend." Finn gave him a bit of a 'you blew it there' expression.

Liam sighed because he knew Finn had a point. "Hindsight is twenty-twenty."

Blair heard that Mr Schue's Acafellas lost some of its members so she thought that would bring him back to Glee. That all changed when she also heard that Finn, Liam, and Puck were now a part of the group. She intended on barging into their rehearsal that Tuesday evening to give them all a piece of her mind but stopped at the door. She looked in and had to cover her mouth to cover her laughter because they were all wiggling their hips and swinging their arms like they were trying to hit a baseball or something. So she changed her mind about barging in and waited.

Blair stood around the corner in the hall so when Liam and Finn passed her, she stepped out, saying, "Were you gonna mention your new membership status? Or did I miss the memo."

This time it was Blair who scared the hell out of them. "Jesus, Blair. Wear a bell or something," Liam had to give her props for scaring them, though.

Finn put his hand on his chest. "My heart is pounding."

"Now we're even. And as far as wearing a bell goes, a friend once told me that bells are tacky unless they're for a specific costume." Blair placed one hand on each of their shoulders and walked down the hall with them. "So…you guys are Acafella's now?"

"For two reasons – It's fun as hell, and we thought it might boost Mr Schue's confidence in teaching us again." Liam gestured to Finn. "If you're mad at us blame him. It was his idea."

Finn looked at him like he'd just been betrayed. "Thanks for throwing me under the bus, man."

Now Liam was gesturing to Blair. "You saw the evil gleam in her eye the other day. I do not want to be on the receiving end of that wrath."

Blair thought this was very amusing but put it to an end. "As adorable as your fear in me is, I'm not mad. It's pretty genius, actually. Wish I could be a part of it, but alas I cannot." She took a couple steps ahead then turned around and pointed at them. "But I expect an invitation to your next performance. If there's more arm swinging, hip swaying choreography in there I am bringing a video camera."

The day for the Glee Club car wash fundraiser was upon them and Blair didn't plan on going but did. She was a little late in arriving but arrived just in time to see Mercedes throw a rock through Kurt's windshield. "What the hell?" Blair was just about to storm over there and find out what was going on but was stopped dead in her tracks when music seemed to play out of nowhere as Mercedes strutted forward and started singing with the Cheerios accompanying her in a choreographed dance as she sang 'Bust Your Windows'.

Blair looked around to see if anyone else was seeing what she was seeing but they were all washing cars. "Buh – wha…" She couldn't even formulate the words and a part of her thought she was hallucinating the whole thing. When the song ended, in the blink of an eye the Cheerios were back to washing their cars and Mercedes was standing opposite Kurt at his vehicle.

"Nope, not even gonna think about it." Blair sprinted over to Kurt as he kept saying to Mercedes,

"You busted my window! How could you do that? You busted my window!"

"Well you busted my heart," Mercedes sassed back with an additional, "Hmm!", before walking away.

Blair leaned on the hood of Kurt's car beside him. "So…do you wanna talk about it or…" She was answered when Kurt just walked away. "Oh not." She popped her lips. "Okay then." Blair twirled around and went over to Sue who was overlooking things. "Surprised to see you here."

"I enlisted the Cheerios to help with this little fundraiser. Why wouldn't I be here?" Sue looked at Blair for a moment. "I want Glee Club to succeed."

Blair scoffed a chuckle at that. "Okay. I'm not sure what you're really up to, but as long as it raises money for Glee – I thank you."

Sue was surprised to hear her say that. "I think that's the first time you've ever thanked me for anything."

Blair shrugged. "Gotta start somewhere." She walked over to Finn and caught the wet cloth he threw at her. Since it was in her hand she proceeded to help him. Why not? It's not like she had anything better to do that day.

Apparently they raised enough money to hire the Dakota person because at the next Glee Club rehearsal he was there – Blair was not. Going to rehearsal with him there felt like she was turning her back on what was important. It wasn't winning or doing whatever it took to win – that's not what Blair was there for. That club gave her the start she needed to finally begin to heal and she wasn't going to turn her back on that or Mr Schue in support of that Dakota person.

So while everyone else was in rehearsal, Blair stood in the center of the Auditorium. She was getting things set up for her own rehearsal when Liam walked onto the stage with his guitar case. "What are you doing here?" she wanted to know.

"Glee didn't feel the same without your ominous presence." Liam grabbed a pair of microphones and handed one to her. "What are we singing? Actually, I'm going to pick it."

Blair scoffed at his behavior. "Now what makes you think I want to even sing with you? Or that I'll know the song you pick for that matter."

Liam had answers for both these questions. "For starters, we better get used to singing together in case Mr Schue ever decides to pair us up and secondly, trust me. You'll know the song."

Liam put the microphone in the stand, then got ready with his guitar. Every time he saw Blair jamming out with her headphones on, this was the song that was playing. He started strumming the guitar strings and grinned when she realized what it was.

Blair couldn't believe he knew how to play 'Domino' but wasn't going to question it. She made sure the mic was one and started to sing along with his music. Blair sang the first part, he sang the second, and then they sang together for the chorus. She couldn't help but dance as they sang together – this was her go to song.

Liam couldn't stop himself from smiling as they sang together. He felt like he was starting to make progress, but more importantly they were having fun.

Blair's heart was pounding a bit by the end of the song. "How did you know that was one of my favorites?"

"Your headphones aren't as quiet as you may think they are." Liam was about to take that moment to ask her out but was interrupted when Finn burst into the Auditorium.

"There you guys are," Finn called out to them. "Rachel came to her senses and fired Dakota and Mr Schue is more confident than ever. Glee Club is back!"
