A/N: Okay, so I'm posting this book/chapters/whatever on other sites, and a lot of people just think that a Raj/Howard relationship in this kind of setting just seems silly. Don't worry-I AGREE. I did the last chapter as a favor for a friend. Though I will HINT at them having some weird feelings? But no full on slash. From now on, I'll focus more on Sheldon and Rachel. Or Kurt. Let's do some rock paper scissors lizard spock over it.

Sheldon scribbled some things in his notebook.

"A sharp," he said. Rachel went up a pitch. The monitor flashed another number. He nodded. Rachel took another swig from her water bottle. "B flat."

They had been at it for an hour now. Kurt had come back to the room a while ago, watching, and sometimes singing with Rachel as well. Now he was just bored. He checked his watch. Noon. Malls were opening. He flipped out his cell.

"Hey, Penny," he said into the receiver. He got her number yesterday. "Wanna go to the mall?"

"Sure, sweetie. Can I take your car?" she asked. Kurt.

"Just be extra careful with my baby," he said. He shut his phone.

"Raj?" he asked, going back to where the Indian and Jewish scientists were. They looked like they had been laughing, and not awkward about singing together. For Raj, it was just another time they spontaneously sang. Maybe they could be in this 'glee' club.

"What's up, dude?" he asked.

"Penny and I are going to the Lima Town Mall. Wanna come?" Kurt asked. Raj looked back to his work, then up at Kurt again. He shrugged.

"Whatever, sure. I'm not making any progress though." Howard rolled his eyes, and waved as they got into Kurt's car. Kurt pointed out where they could go. As they pulled into the Lima Town Mall's parking lot, Kurt got out his wad of cash.

"Whoa! How did you get that kinda cash?" Penny asked, eyeing the money suspiciously.

"I work part time at my dad's auto shop," Kurt said. They wandered around the mall. They stepped into some stores for Penny, and got her some less slutty but still cute outfits. Raj smiled at Penny, a sign that he approved of her look. Then they got her a hair cut so she would look more chic.

"Now onto Raj…" Kurt said, examining the mute scientist. Raj looked frightened, and bit his lip at the choices Kurt picked out. Raj pulled himself into the tight pants, and fumbled with the buttons on most of the jackets. But when he came out of the changing room, even Kurt, the major critic, approved of the new Raj. Penny looked him over with approval.

"Wow, Lassie. Now you look decent," she said. Kurt laughed, and Raj smiled brighter. They went to the food court for some Thai food. Penny felt somewhat relieved that she didn't have to stress over Sheldon's food choices.

"So, Penny, what do you think of Lima?" Kurt asked.

"Well, it's kinda like the town I grew up in. Small, but still nice."

"What about you, Raj?" Kurt asked. Raj gave a thumbs up, indicating he liked Lima. Kurt smiled back, and continued eating. Raj suddenly tapped them both, then tapped his watch.

"What is it, Lassie? Another man trapped in a well?" Penny asked. Kurt looked at Raj's watch.

"Oh, no. 4:00. Sheldon told us to be back by 5:00 for dinner!"

"Dinner? Why so early?" Penny asked. Raj wrote 'time zone' on his napkin in pen.

"Come on, let's go," Kurt said.

They were about to leave, when Kurt suddenly had a…need.

"Excuse me, need to go to the men's room," he said, and quickly went into the mall's bathrooms. Raj and Penny went outside to wait by the car. They froze once they saw.

Kurt emerged a minute later. "Okay, let's g-" He stopped when he saw Penny and Raj staring at something. "What's wrong? Did Lady Gaga just walk-" He finally saw it. The huge hole in the windshield of the car. He gave out a tiny squeak of fear, and ran over to his baby. On the carseat was a rock, probably causing the hole. Kurt pulled the rock out, and saw it had one word scrawled on it.

FAGGOT.
