Rachel texted to Kurt as soon as she walked into her room.

We need to talk. Can you come over? – R*

She climbed on the bed and scattered the books to help write a song, which she'd borrowed from the library. Her cell phone went off as she picked up one of the books, which happened to be "The Music of Joni Mitchell," wondering why the number of female songwriters was much fewer than that of male when it comes to 'Top Something Greatest Songwriters of All Time."

Hello to you too, Diva. A little bird told me that you'd snapped in the Glee practice today? And yes, I can. I'll be there in a half hour. -KEH

Reading the book with absorbed interest, she completely failed to hear the door bell. Her phone went off loudly.

"Rachel! I can't believe you've kept me waiting forever in front of your house! How could you do that to me after you said you needed me!"

She jumped out of her bed as she held her phone away from her ear since she heard Kurt's furious voice aloud. After she came downstairs in a rush and opened the door, Kurt literally stomped into her house. Rachel rubbed his arm apologetically. "I am so sorry Kurt. I was absorbed in a Joni Mitchell book."

Kurt raised his eyebrow interrogatively. He saw many books scattering on the bed as he walked into her room. "What are those? Are they and the Joni Mitchell book that you mentioned the reason why you need me here?"

"Partly, yes." Rachel replied, clearing the books on the bed away quickly. "I will tell you about everything, from the beginning. But before that, what would you like to have? Tea, coffee, or I can make juice for detox?" She asked over her shoulder, wrenching the door open.

"I'll go for the last one." Kurt grubbed the Joni Mitchell book and flipped through it.

Rachel came back into the room ten minutes after, holding two glasses of unpleasant colored juice. "Here you are." She held one of the glasses out to Kurt, depositing herself next to him on the bed.

"So?" Kurt waited for her explanation expectantly.

So, she started talking about every detail of what happened to Glee Club. "Although we are rivals and I assume that some are not happy to share my songwriting idea with you, we are friends first." Rachel and Kurt finally became real friends after he had transferred to Dalton Academy.

About Sue's fiasco (which turned out to be a menace to New Direction). Her idea of writing an original song (because they needed a new strategy imperiously to win Regionals). Refusal from everyone of Glee Club (and her outburst). Disappointment with Finn (and her outburst, again).

And she confessed having worked an original song from a few days before (she added that Finn-Quinn-Sam love triangle and daughter/fathers talk had been the reason of her decision to write an original song).

Kurt was listening to her intently, not catching her point. "Then, what can I do for you? Why did you need me?"

"New Directions, not just Finn but every single person of the team, should be aware of how serious the situation we are in is, I mean, how hard we win Regionals with an ordinary song choice. Then this plan came into my head. This might be backfired, but it could kindle their motivation and creativity. So I want to know what you think about my plan. Honest opinion, you know."

"Hmm... Interesting." After she disclosed her plan, Kurt took time for contemplating. "But do you think it's a good idea that you won't tell him about this? Don't you think you should tell him about the outline at least? You know, Finn was upset when he came home yesterday." He wore a concerned look, putting his fists under his chin.

Rachel sighed, looking down on her laps. "I know." She paused. "But I'm not sure if we both could have a talk civily, especially, if I could, you know. I don't believe myself to hold my emotion when it comes to Finn." A regretting look appeared on her face as she remembered her outburst in the hall way. She might have carried away. He seemed to really be cared about her.

She shook her head and turned toward Kurt's face. "Besides, he really is a leader. With or without co-captain, he always put us together. Maybe he'll be mad at me, but I think it's better for him. Anger at me might motivate him." Kurt squeezed her hand gently. "Anyway, Kurt, you promise me what's said at my house stays at my house."

"Of course I do." He put his right hand up with a straight face. "Now, which movie do you want to watch, Hello, Dolly! or Funny Girl?"

Any thoughts?
