"Call your next witness, Hummel," Puck directed in a bored voice. This trial totally blew in his opinion. The only good thing about it was that he got to use a gavel and he was going commando under the graduation gown he was wearing to serve as a judge's robe, despite what Kurt had said.

Kurt stood up, placing his fingers on the edge of the table as he calmly called his next witness. "The Prosecution calls Blaine Anderson to the stand."

Blaine stood up and made his way over to the stand, quickly getting sworn in by Mike.

"Now Blaine, how long have you known the defendant?"

"About six months," Blaine responded easily.

"And you are in fact, gay?" Kurt queried, seeing the chance to get in a jab at Rachel.

"Yes. There was a time I wasn't sure, but thanks to Rachel and her kissing, I'm positive I am."

Kurt smirked as he saw Rachel flush over at her table. "Now, as a proud gay man, would you say that you are more aware of fashion?"

"Well, I wouldn't say that I'm Dior or anything since I wear a uniform five days a week, but yes, I do like to look good when not in uniform." He glanced down, indicating his usual Dalton wardrobe.

"You are an upstanding member of Threads. Would you care to explain to the jury what that is?" Kurt asked, with a sweeping motion of his arm towards the jury box.

"Threads is a club at Dalton in which a weekly publication is made highlighting trends in men's fashion. Well, it's supposed to be weekly, but it's usually biweekly because we get sidetracked by college football and-"

"Thank you, Blaine for that explanation," Kurt cut in, holding up a pamphlet. "Let's discuss an issue. Can you identify this?"

Blaine squinted at it. "It looks like a copy of Threads, but it's really old."

"Exactly. I hold in my hand a crucial piece of evidence. This is in fact a copy of Threads, dated October 1st, 1985. Would you care to read that chart right there?" He handed the pamphlet to Blaine, pointing to a small box.

Blaine took the pamphlet, promptly beginning to read. "What's in: Thanks to the recent summer blockbuster Back to the Future, puffy vests have been seen around campus on the weekends and after school." He handed it back to Kurt, a confused look on his face.

"Thank you. Now would you please read this issue of Threads, dated February 8th, 1986?" He handed Blaine another copy, again pointing to a box.

"What's five minutes ago: The summer craze of the puffy vest is on its way out. Too many here at Dalton have realized that lack of a Delorian makes the wearer look more like The Michelin Man than Marty McFly."

"Thank you. If I could just trouble you to please read the year end edition of Threads, dated June 20th 1986, that would be very helpful."

Blaine received this much thicker copy of Threads with a grin on his face, knowing what it was going to say. He cleared his throat before reading. "What's out: The Puffy Vest. Do we really need to explain why? What normal girl is going to want to date someone who looks like a giant colored marshmallow?"

Kurt smirked, he'd gotten in another jab at Rachel without even intending to. "Thank you, Blaine. I have no further questions."

Finn watched Rachel literally bristle with anger. He wasn't sure if it was because Finn was being made fun of, or the fact that Kurt had insinuated that she wasn't a normal girl, but whatever it was, smoke was coming out of her ears. Laying his hand over hers, he squeezed it and leaned over to whisper in her ear, "Don't worry about Kurt and some old ass copies of Threads. You are the best, Rachel and you know what you like, so don't let anyone tell you what you can and can't like. I can't wait to hear your cross examination of Blaine, just go a little easy on him. I do like Blaine, he's pretty cool, even if he did kiss you right in front of me."

Feeling calmer now, Rachel straightened out her skirt and stand up again, this time walking primly over to Blaine and smile genuinely at him. "Hi Blaine, so you're a member of Threads at Dalton?"

"Hi Rachel. You're doing a good job, and yes, I am a member of Threads."

"Do you talk about what male fashion lines to follow or wear?"

"Yes. We like making recommendations about what the fashionable Dalton Academy student wears."

Rachel smiled at this, "So who are the designers that Threads likes to recommend right now?"

Finn watched Blaine contemplate the answer for a moment. "Well, let's see. We suggest shopping at the Gap, Neiman Marcus, Von Maurs, and Nordstrom. The collections that we suggest to wear are William Rast, Diesel, LVC as well as Levi's Made and Crafted."

Rachel paused, getting a strange gleam in her eye. "William Rast you say? Why do you suggest William Rast?" Finn smirked, knowing what Rachel was getting at. After their ill-advised attempt to make fliers to get new glee members, Finn had begun paying attention to what other endeavors singers got into, and subsequently had learned that William Rast was Justin Timberlake's clothing line.

"Justin Timberlake's line is young, modern and stylish with a focus on being comfortable. It's not like he's telling you to wear a corset or anything." Finn and Rachel both choked in shock and Kurt's face turned red at Blaine's inadvertent swipe at Kurt's fashion sense.

Mercedes audibly gasped, and stage whispered, "Warbler, you better send my boy to a spa for what you just said."

Confused by everyone's reaction, Blaine just looked at Puck with a questioning look, his hands up in the air while Puck just shrugged.

Walking over to her desk, Rachel exchanged glance with Finn, each holding back their laughter. Rachel grabbed several more photos off of the desk, still valiantly trying to hold in her laughter. Striding briskly over to Blaine, she handed him the photos with the directive to tell everyone what the picture was.

"It's from the William Rast collection. It's a bright red puffy vest. It was a top seller. Justin said he like- to-wear- puffy…oh crap." Blaine glanced up from the picture at the Prosecution table. Kurt was fuming, staring daggers at Rachel, who was smiling like a cat that ate a canary.

"So Justin Timberlake likes wearing puffy vests too, so much so he put one in his clothing line?"

"Um, yes." Blaine shifted uncomfortably in his chair.

"Is Kurt going to kill you with one of his sewing needles?" Rachel queried; already knowing the answer to that.

"Probably, it was nice knowing you Rachel, Finn, Puck. God I'm so screwed." Not looking at the Prosecution Table, Blaine took the walk of shame past Kurt and back to his seat in the audience. Finn looked at Kurt who was livid and just shook his head at him, trying to tell him to cut Blaine some slack. Kurt ignored him, still livid over Rachel's cross examination. Satisfied, Finn leaned back in his chair.

It wasn't his fault that Finn had the better lawyer.
