Once again thank-you for the reviews, please keep them coming.
Right here's the audition chapter as promised yesterday. I'd recommend that you look up 'UO Divisi - I Can't make you love me' and give it a listen. It will help you picture the audition better. As always I hope you all enjoy. Once again sorry for any mistakes, I hope they don't spoil it for you.

Kurt knew exactly what he needed to do to impress The Warblers, he didn't need to make them cry, he needed to show them that he could do what they do.
"Rachel ...Hi ...Yeah it was good...No I'm can't come back...You know it's not safe...I know I miss you to...Look Rach the reason I called is I need your help...Well I've got a audition in a couple of hours for The Warblers...Rach honey calm down, I'm not a traitor. I'm not a member of New Directions any-more...You should understand I need to sing, imagine if you couldn't sing any-more... I know you're sorry sweetie...That's why I need your help, remember that a capella number we were working on...Yeah, I want to sing it for my audition ..Could you get the girls together and come here within the next 2-3 hours?...I know it's a long drive but it would give you a chance to do a little re-con on The Warblers... See I knew you'd like the idea...See you soon honey. Ring me when you get close and I'll meet you at the gate to show were to go...See you soon, love you bye.."
Hunter, Blaine and Sebastian were sitting eating dinner when their table was suddenly swamped by Warblers.
"Not that it's not nice seeing you all, but we're eating and some of you are kind of ugly, so unless this is a matter of life or death piss off and let me finish my food."
"Sebastian don't be so rude, of course its important or the guys wouldn't have come here." Blaine turned to the Warblers, " Sorry about him. you know how he gets when his blood sugar drops."
"There ain't enough sugar to change that then." The boys start laughing.
"I will find out which one of you morons said that and if I have to go through you all to find out then I will." The laughter stopped as quickly as it started.
"Alright why don't we all calm down and let Thad tell us why you're all here?" Hunter looked at Thad.
"Well you know the new kid auditioning tonight right? Duh of course you do your his you room-mate."
"Thad focus please."
"Oh yeah, well you know you told us to stay clear of the music room so Kurt could get ready for tonight? Duh of course you remember, sorry"
"Thad!"
"Right, sorry."
"What he's trying to say is , that while we were waiting, some of us went outside to kick a soccer ball about for a bit and a couple of cars pulled up, Kurt got out of one with about five girls and the other car had five girls as well. Seven of them had cheerleader uniforms on and the other three just normal clothes. They all followed Kurt into the school."
"Are you sure Jeff?"
"I know you're gay Blaine but when a car empties out and seven girls in cheerleader uniforms start walking around any heterosexual male within a mile notices my friend."
"Okay and why the need to rush here and disturb our dinner?" Sebastian looked at the excited boy.
"Well Hunter said we couldn't go to the music room, which is where they are , so we came here."
"I get it now you lot thought that you'd tell us about the hot cheerleaders and we let you all go charging in there. Sorry to disappoint you but Kurt's got half an hour left, Hunter's spoken for and myself and Blaine are gay so no interest in cheerleaders what so ever. Now go sit over there and wait."Sebastian pointed to the other side of the room.
"Wow Kurt this place is amazing." Rachel walked around the music like Kurt had the first time he entered the room, "You know the boys would kill to use all the stuff you have here."
"I know, it's cool right?" Rachel nodded in agreement.
"You know Boo I'm going to miss you at school but don't come back. If I could go here, I'd leave McKinley and not give it second thought." Mercedes kissed Kurt on the cheek.
"Well Lady-lips you've landed on your feet here, bagged yourself a hot piece of ass yes? You must be in gay heaven here."
"Santana, how many times do I have to say 'this is not a gay school'." Kurt rolled his eyes, " Anyway thanks for all coming. I really appreciate it but as much as I'd like to catch up we do really need to get ready."
The Warblers all shuffled into the music room and took seats opposite to where Kurt and the girls stood. Hunter, Sebastian and Blaine walked over to Kurt.
"Okay Kurt what are you up to and why is your knitting circle here?"
"Well Sebastian 'my knitting circle' as you put it..." Kurt was about to continue when someone moved out from behind him and cut in.
"Allow me Kurt," Kurt shook his head and rolled his eyes at the girl but let her carry on, "Quinn Fabray and you are?" Quinn held out her hand to Sebastian with a predatory look in her eye.
"Not interested in you" Kurt held back a snigger, "Now Kurt as you were saying." Quinn just glared at Sebastian, "Look sweetheart if you want to try to being a bitch you need to work lot harder. And by the way I don't do gold-diggers and you'll not find anyone else here that does either. Kurt if you could please continue we haven't got all night."
"Wow Porcelain, this guy's hot and very gay. I vote you tap that asap."
"Shut up Santana."
"Come on you can't blame me, he's hot and you need your virgin ass taken care of." Kurt went bright red as he hid his face in his hands.
Sebastian shot his hand out to Santana, "Sebastian Smythe, nice to meet you. It's always good to meet a fan."
"Just because you're hot, doesn't mean I won't tear your balls off and wear them as earrings if you hurt one hair on Porcelain's head. I have razor blades all up in my do." Santana got right up into Sebastian's face.
Sebastian turned to Kurt, "I like her Princess, she can visit again. Now I'm going to assume they're here to help you audition, so please ladies start when you're ready."
Kurt took a deep breath as he stood in front of the girls, "Welcome everyone, whilst trying to decide which song to present for my audition it struck me that as The Warblers are an a capella group that I should do an a capella number for you. So here it is..." As Kurt finished his last word the girls started their harmonies.
"Wow their good." Blaine whispered to Hunter and Sebastian
Turn down the lights, turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me, tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don't patronize - don't patronize me
Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't
"Well we knew he's a friggin counter-tenor but not an amazing one. You really need to explain why you never mentioned this as soon as he started going here Hunter." Sebastian's eyes never moved of Kurt.
I'll close my eyes, then I won't see
The love you don't feel when you're holding me
Morning will come and I'll do what's right
Just give me till then to give up this fight
And I will give up this fight
"You know guy's this really opens up our song choices now. Can't you imagine the duets we could do. The judges eat that up." Blaine started to bounce in his seat.
Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
I'll close my eyes, then I won't see
The love you don't feel when you're holding me
So turn down the lights, turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
The whole room erupted with applause and Blaine and Hunter rushed forward wrapping Kurt in a hug.
"That was so good Kurt. How did you get this together in a couple of hours?" Blaine was hopping from foot to foot with excitement.
"This took longer than a couple of hours silly. Rachel Berry lead soloist of New Directions." Rachel held out her hand.
Hunter shook her hand, "Hunter Clarington Warbler Captain and my excited friend is Blaine Anderson. So how did you happen to have an a capella number ready to go then? If you don't mind me asking Rachel?" Hunter turned on the charm and Rachel spilled.
"When we knew that we would be meeting The Warblers at some point this year and after Kurt had seen you perform, he suggested we try an a capella number. Of course the boys dismissed the idea saying anyone could do it, so myself and Kurtie challenged them to prove it. We got the girls together and Santana and Kurt got a few more of the Cheerios to help out and this is what we came up with. Needless to say we wiped the floor with the boys and we learned not to underestimate you guys when we meet in competition."
"So the Princess came spying on us." Sebastian had now joined the group and raised an eyebrow in Kurt's direction, "How very devious of you."
"What? Are you going to tell me you don't research the competition Gaston?"
"Why of course I did Belle but that is a given from me." Sebastian smiled at Kurt, " Well anyway we still have to vote and I'm sure the ladies need to hit the road as it quite a drive home for them."
"Why of course," Kurt turned to the girls, " Thank so much for doing this. Next time I'm home for the weekend we'll get together at my place for the night."
"What a great idea Kurt. You should bring some of the nicer Warblers with you too." Quinn threw a dirty look at Sebastian.
"Give it up Blondie there is no way you're get your claws into any of these guys. Even if you got one of them to sleep with you that's all it would be, we have classes to teach us how to avoid girls like you." Quinn let out a huff and turned her back on Sebastian and spoke to Santana.
"Looks like these boys will pass Kurt around like a toy then."
"Now Quinn there's difference between you and Kurt, he doesn't give a shit about all the social-climbing crap that you do and under all that ice he's a soppy romantic and everyone can tell you're no Pretty Woman, so give it up and lets blow this joint" Santana walked forward pausing at Sebastian, "Remember twink, hurt him and I get new earrings and you get to sing higher than Porcelain." Santana lead the girls out.
Blaine slapped Kurt on the shoulder, "Wow you've got the female version of Sebastian for a friend."
"Oh no Blaine, Satan's on a level all of her own." Kurt ran out to see the girls of.
Hunter sat patiently waiting for the others to make their final decision. He knew Kurt was in but they would stick to the traditions and finally after five minutes Hunter opened a piece of paper.
"So you're all agreed Kurt's in and while we're all still here can we all agree that we will not try to get him to hook us up with the cheerleaders he knows." Hunter addressed the group.
The group groaned but agreed. Hunter sat back down with Blaine and Sebastian as the group started to filter out of the room, "That went well."
"Yeah, what have we learned, you had access to a counter-tenor and totally forgot to mention it, that Princess used his connection to you to spy on us and use the information to devise a plan to beat us at our own game, that I have some crazed Latino ready to remove my testicles at short notice and Kurt will now be the most popular guy in school because he has his own troop of cheerleaders at his disposal. Great."
"Sebastian just think about it for a second man. We now have a voice that our competition under used, so advantage to us. Kurt came and saw us with Grandma, not much we can do about that cause even without me he could have still brought tickets. The plan to beat us was Kurt's first and the arrangement we just heard was Kurt's too, so I doubt they could repeat it to the same standard. Kurt's no fool he would know if someone were to try to use him to get to his girls. As for the crazed Latino, I'm glad Kurt has some else who would kick your ass if you hurt him. And don't forget Kurt knows more about New Directions then you, so I guess advantage to us again. So yeah I'd say it went well you dick." Hunter got up and left the room.
"Do you ever think before you open that mouth of yours Sebastian?"
"Don't start Blaine, It's hard not to think the worse of people, but I'm trying. I never met anyone like Kurt, just when you think you know him, he does something and throws everything you thought out the window. He's devious but not vicious, he can cut you down in a split second while maintaining a polite well-mannered exterior and he'll walk away than lower himself to your level."
"That's why you two a match. He gives as good as he gets, which helps you become a better person. The two of you together would be unstoppable partnership and can you imagine the sex...phew hot as hell." Blaine got lost in thought.
"Stop picturing me and Kurt having sex and go get laid." Sebastian face dropped.
"What's the matter?"
"You heard his friend Kurt's a romantic. I have no idea about that stuff. I might as well give up now, I'm not the type to open doors and give flowers and chocolates."
"No you're not but romance isn't all about that. Like today you knew Kurt wasn't sure how to deal with Nick knowing about the Hunter thing and you stepped up, that my friend is a small romantic gesture for you and Kurt knows it. If he wanted all the flowery stuff he'd go for a guy like me but he's not interested in me as anything more than a friend and never will. Flowers and that are good but Kurt needs more than that, he needs someone who challenges him and you got that down. Even his Grandma thinks you're the perfect fit for him. So man up it's time to woo Kurt."
Sebastian placed an arm around Blaine as they walked out of the room, "Woo? Seriously? Woo."
"Yes Sebastian woo."
Coming next the wooing of Kurt and The Warblers Charity concert, Grandma and Burt come visit the boys.
Love it or hate it let me know.
