Chapter 6: Switching Bags of Costumes
As Kurt park in a vacant spot in the school parking lot and stepped out, he was bombarded by his fellow Glee memebers.
"Okay, what's going on?" He said, raising his hands to calm everyone down, for they all started talking at once.
"We were told you needed help carrying everything in to the Choir room." Puck said, letting Kurt pass him to get to the trunk.
"So, we came to help." Finn added.
"Guys, I appreciate it, but I'm sure that Tina, Mike, Mercedes, Artie and I would have been able to handle it." Kurt said, rolling his eyes as Puck pushed past him to open the back of the car he had just unlocked.
"Yeah, but better not to jinx that." Puck and Brittany started handing a bag to everyone.
"Just so you know," Kurt said. "You're all holding the wrong bags."
Everyone looked at each other before Kurt spoke again.
"We can swap the bags when we get to the classroom."
Kurt locked the car and the team walked into then school, chatting to each other.
Everyone arrived in the choir room.
"Okay, Lady-Lips," Santana said, crossing her arms while holding the bag of clothes. "Whose bag is whose?"
"Well, for starters," Kurt said. "You have Artie's costume."
"Here, Wheels." Santana said, handing Artie the bag.
Artie took the bag and looked at Kurt.
"Whose do I have?" He asked.
"You have Rachel's." Kurt said, glancing at the bag. Artie handed the bag over as went on.
"Rachel, switch with Brittany; Brittany, switch with Mike."
"I got a bag with a really large shirt." Mike said, holding up the bag while taking his costume from Brittany.
"Looks like you have Frankenteen's outfit." Santana smirked, earning a glare from Finn.
"Mike, please give Finn his bag." Kurt said, rolling his eyes. "Finn, hand your bag to Mercedes; Mercedes, yours to Puck; Puck, your bag goes to Tina."
The three changed bags and Kurt looked at which bags were left.
"Tina, you can give Quinn her bag, and Quinn, you can give Satan...Santana, hers." Kurt deliberately let Santana's nickname slip out, and he got a squinted glared in the process.
"Is that everyone?" Brittany asked.
"Yep. I left my outfit at home. You can all look at your ensemble now." Kurt said, gesturing to the bag.
"Sweet, chains!" Puck said, lifting his out of the bag.
"One is for around your neck, and the other is for your pants." Kurt said. "You can keep them if you all want to, I have no use for them."
"Aww, even sweeter!" Puck said, extremely happy.
"Uh, Kurt?" Rachel said, looking confused. "Why do I have a skirt and pants in here?"
"I didn't know which you would want, so I got both. You can choose which you wear."
"Hey, can we wear sunglesses, too?" Finn said, looking hopeful.
"Sunglasses? I don't know, Finn..." Kurt said, trailing off and making a face.
"I am totally NOT wearing shades." Quinn said.
"I want to!" Brittany said loudly.
"Any one who want's to wear sunglasses can." Kurt said.
"Do we all have to wear the hats?" Rachel said, holding up hers.
"Optional. But since it's been paid for, you get to keep it anyways." Kurt said. "I got one for Mr. Schue here, too."
Kurt walked to the open door of Mr. Schuester's office and left the hat and shirt on his desk with the note he had prepared.
"Okay, the bell is going to ring, and we need to get to class. We'll meet at lunch to go over the details of the performance, and we can meet here after school to practice." He said, walking back into the room.
"Sounds good to me," Puck said, as he ran his hand through his mohawk.
"Alright then. See you at lunch guys!" Kurt said, as everyone left the classroom.
The gang met at lunch, and went over the plan. Kurt remembered the finger-less gloves in his bag when he got to class, so when he met the group at lunch, he brought them up.
He was pleased when Tina, Mercedes and Brittany agreed to wear the gloves. He also promised Brittany and Finn he would bring sunglasses for them on Monday for the performance.
After school, the group met back in the choir room and practiced the routine they made for the following week. Once they got the hang of it, they kept at it, up until they were tired and Mr. Schue called it a night.
Everyone went home and relaxed, anticipating the performance they were going to give the following week.
Monday couldn't come soon enough for the New Directions. They met in the Auditorium for a final practice that morning before heading to class.
When lunchtime rolled around, everyone headed for the washrooms and got into their costumes. Kurt helped Artie with his before he got himself ready. He gelled his hair up into a sexy look, according to Tina, and washed his hands off before pulling on his finger-less gloves.
He placed his sunglasses on his face and looked at the guys.
"Everyone ready?" He asked.
"Yeah, Man! Let's get this show on the road!" Puck said, feeling pumped.
The boys left the washroom and went to meet the girls.
They found the girls waiting for them in front of the Auditorium.
"Quinn, I thought you didn't want to wear sunglasses." Kurt accused the blonde Cheerio as she slipped a pair of sunglasses onto her nose.
"I changed my mind." She said. "Can we get going on this?"
"Yes, let's get out there and get some new Glee members!" Artie said.
"Okay, everyone to their destinations." Kurt said, unaware that things were about to change for him once he and the team started their performance.
