(4) You Shouldn't Kiss Me Like This
A/N: I absolutely MUST apologize for that last chapter ending... It was so crappers... On another note! I
Was trolling , and I found the perfect term for my story... AU with cannon tendencies... Lots of tendencies...
P.S. Just a quick question. How many of you actually looked up the song? Cuz if you did then you'll probably have a better understanding of what's to come :)
Also, anybody else think that the Regionals outfits were based of off Blaine's wardrobe?"

They're All Watching Us Now
The Warblers loaded up the bus to head off to sectionals. Kurt hadn't gotten the solo he'd been hoping for, because he seemed to try too hard. Nick and Jeff had gotten last minute stage fright, so they had to use the number that they used for last years Sectionals competition... There was NO way they were coming home with a first place trophy...
The Warblers hadn't gone past Sectionals since six years ago, when Vocal Adrenaline was placed as their competitors. And now that they had a chance, they were about to blow it...
Suddenly Mrs. Jess came on the bus and sat in front of Kurt and Blaine. "Hey, Klaine!" she said.
Kurt and Blaine raised an eyebrow. "Um, Jess?" began Kurt. "Ok, two things: what are you doing here and what is a Klaine?"
Jess rolled her eyes as if the answer to that was the most obvious thing in the world. "Well, one, just because you guys don't have a director, doesn't mean you don't need a chaperone... In fact, I'm unsure of why they think you only need one. And B, my mind is much too tired to be calling the both of you by separate names, and since you two are always together, I figured it'd be easier to just mush your names together."
David and Wes had been sitting directly behind them. "So Klaine is a couple name?" asked David with a smirk.
"I've never actually thought of it like that, my darling chicklet! But yes, I guess it is!"
Klaine simultaneously facepalmed, this was going to be a LONG bus ride.

"Then go down to 7-11 and get some! I need raisinettes!"
Kurt smiled as he heard the familiar voice of the New Directions main diva. "Carb loading?" he asked.
Rachel looked at Kurt happy to see him again. "Puck got Lauren Zizes to take your place and she won't go on unless she gets her damn candy! She's a warm body... So uh, did you get your solo?"
Kurt smiled sadly. "Sadly no."
"Wow, if you didn't get a solo then they must be really good. We are doomed! Sorry, that was selfish. What I meant to say was: wow, that-that really sucks. I'm sure you were really good."
"I was," said Kurt. "Well, at least I think I was... Being with the Warblers has made me question everything I've thought about myself."
Rachel shook her head. "God... What has become of us Kurt?" they sat down. "So, do you miss us?"
Kurt smiled. "I do. Being a Warbler is great, but I don't think they appreciate my individuality as much as you guys. So how's Finn? I feel bad I haven't really talked to him since the wedding."
"Oh he's fine," she said. "I found out that he slept with Santana last year, we had a big fight, so I didn't know what was going on with him for a few days, but we made up. He is a little hurt though, that you didn't tell him that you were leaving.*"
Kurt sighed. "Well, tell him that it was a last minute thing and o would have told him, but-"
"It's your LIFE Kurt. I think he understands that you weren't safe at McKinley anymore."
Kurt smiled and Rachel pulled him into a hug. When they pulled away, Kurt asked, "How come you were never this nice to me before?" he asked with a smile.
She laughed. "Because you were my only REAL competition!"
Suddenly a curly haired boy that, from what Kurt had told her, could only be the famous Blaine Anderson, came behind Kurt as the lights blinked and tapped him on the shoulder. "Time to go, Kurt."
Rachel raised her eyebrows and as the two walked away, mouthed to Kurt, "He's cute."
Kurt mouthed back, "I know!" with an excited smile.

The Warblers were waiting back stage as The Hipsters performed. Their performance was shockingly amaze-balls. They were doomed...
As they filed onto the stage, Wes turned to Klaine. "How bout a good luck kiss?" he said.
Kurt rolled his eyes, but Blaine leaned over and pecked Kurt on the cheek, lingering just a little longer than you normally should.
Blaine rolled his eyes at Wes's raised eyebrow. "What!" he demanded. "We're gonna need all the luck we can get."

Rachel sat in the audience with the rest of the New Directions and next to Finn, their hands intertwined. She looked over at him and smiled sadly as he watched his stepbrother file onto the stage. Finn missed Kurt more than he let on at times.
The Warblers formed a "V" shape on the stairs with Blaine in the middle, and the background a Capella voices came on. The entire New Directions recognized it as Train's "Hey, Soul Sister."
They danced and swayed behind Blaine. Kurt was in the second row of the triangle formation, and Rachel instantly realized how uncomfortable Kurt looked.
Of course he was uncomfortable! He'd been forced into a new environment, with a whole new feel and vibe. He just didn't feel... Right. He felt so far away from his family.
Rachel pointed to her face and mouthed "SMILE" as she put huge grin on her face. Kurt instantly put a fake grin on his face. It still looked like he felt awkward, but it was a heck of a lot better than the face he put on earlier.
The song ended and the Warblers filed off the stage. Wait, that was it? ONE song? Rachel couldn't help but smile. They SO had this in the bag!
The New Directions got up from their seats and went to the green room. Their seats stayed empty, so the Warblers took them. Kurt sat next to Blaine.
He leaned over to Blaine. "Watch this. Keep your eyes turned towards the back, Rachel and Finn are going to come out of the back singing a ballad, then the rest of the New Directions are going to follow them onto the stage... Mr. Shue is a bit predictable."
Blaine nodded and kept looking towards the back. Sure enough, two balladeers came out the back, but it wasn't Finn and Rachel. They were both blonde. "I thought you said Rachel was the Jewish brunette." said Blaine.
Kurt nodded and furrowed his eyebrows. "I-I don't know what they're doing..."
The blonde's vocal harmonies were amazing, and the dancing was absolutely perfect. The minute the second song started, every Warbler knew they were doomed.
Santana's vocals were perfectly fitted for this song, "Valerie" by Amy Winehouse and Britt and Mike's dancing was absolutely incredible!
Blaine buried his head in his hands and Kurt patted his back. "We had a good run..."

All three show choirs went up to the stage, anxiously awaiting the results. But really, everyone knew that the New Directions had this one in the bag. The announcer came on the mic and attempted to make a pun about donating organs before announcing that third place went to The Hipsters.
"And your 2010 Sectionals winners are... It's a tie!"
Kurt was shocked. He was happy that his group was going on to the next round, as well as the Warblers, but the truth was that they weren't NEARLY as good as the New Directions! How had a tie happened?
Everyone seemed so happy, even the New Directions, and Kurt couldn't fathom why. They'd been completely snubbed!
They all walked off the stage and exchanged "congratulations" in the lobby. Kurt and Blaine were sitting down next to each other, watching as Wes and David talked to Finn and Rachel. "What do you think they're talking about?" inquired Blaine.
"Knowing Rach," replied Kurt. "She's probably trying to find out your setlist for Regionals, or at least what your planning on doing."
Blaine frowned. Kurt still referred to the Warblers as "you" and not "us"?
Kurt furrowed his eyebrows at Blaine's worried expression. "You ok?" he asked.
Blaine shook his head. "It's nothing... Let's go see what they're talking about." They walked over towards the four teens.
"Whatcha guys talking about?" asked Blaine.
"Yeah, Rachel," said Kurt. "It's a little early to be spying on them!" he laughed and Blaine realized how much he really missed them.
Rachel rolled her eyes. "I am NOT trying to spy on them! Wes and David just invited us to a celebratory dinner with the rest of the Warblers and New Directions!"
Kurt smiled brightly and clapped his hands. He was so obviously excited to see all his friends together again. Blaine smiled, but couldn't help but feel sad. Poor Kurt had basically ripped away from his family. "Oh! That's sounds wonderful!" Kurt nudged Rachel on her side with his elbow. "And I get my girls back. You guys can fill me up with the latest gossip." he winked.
Rachel pulled Kurt in for a hug. "God, we miss you so much..."
He rubbed her back and blinked back tears. "I-I miss you too... So much..." Blaine's heart was breaking. It hurt his heart to see someone he- Cared about? Yep! That's it- cared very deeply for missing something so much. They pulled away from the hug. "We should probably find our chaperones... Jess is just as crazy as the rest of these guys and needs just as much adult supervision..."
The group of teens scanned the room to find Jess and Mr. Shue talking to each other. They walked over to them. "Mr. Shue!" called Rachel. "It's time to go!"
Mr. Shue said his goodbye and congratulations to the rest of the Warblers.
As they loaded their buses, Finn called out to them, "See you at Breadstix!"
