A/N: Okay so when I started planning for this story. I had already started writing scenes of which "Full Performance Music Video" I would like to put in. This is one of the first ones I wrote. This is the chapter that I was planning on having my Glee Full Performance first make its debut in. So I hope you guys enjoy it!
Eraman, this is the chapter that has the movie quote you gave me!
Chapter Six: Mash Up
(Changing Room)
They were a hit! The crowd loved them! They really have a shot at winning Sectionals now. Look at Regionals because the New Directions are coming to take that first place trophy with them! They just finished changing out of their costumes and into their street clothes, cheering laughing, high fiving each other.
When an unexpected surprised came to them; standing in the door way. The New Directions stopped what they were doing and turned to their attention to the door. There standing in the doorway was none other than Rachel Berry. Everyone was looking at her with mix feelings. Some were feeling like Rachel didn't belong there. Some were feeling like Rachel stabbed them in the back when they needed her the most. Others were feeling a mix of hurt, anger, betrayal and somewhat glad that she finally realized where she truly belonged.
"What are you doing here, Berry?" Quinn asked.
"I – I saw the show," Rachel said. "You guys were great."
"Thanks Rachel," Mr. Schue said.
"Is there a reason why you're here, instead of rehearsing your ass off for the school musical?" Santana asked.
Santana would never admit it but she was kinda hurt and felt like Berry betrayed the Glee Club all because Berry couldn't handle a little criticism. What was it that her Mom always told her? No matter what, there was always going be someone out there who was better than you.
If Berry couldn't stand the fact that maybe, just maybe, that there was someone out there that is actually better than her: Then Berry's choosing the wrong career. Because if Rachel Berry thinks that there won't be criticism no matter how brutally honest or how bad it was. Then she was living a very delusional fairy tale.
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about." Rachel said. "I would like to come back to Glee Club. If you let me, that is?"
"Since when are you willing not be in the spot light?" Mercedes asked.
"Since I quit the play," Rachel said.
Rachel didn't think it would be this hard to be accepted back in. She thought that she would come back stage say that she was wrong and found her way back. And would be welcomed back with opened and warmed arms, but now, reality had finally set in.
Rachel really did made a huge terrible mistake in quitting Glee Club just so she could be the star in the school's musical. She was hoping to come back to Glee. Even if she had to play "backup singer" for a while, Rachel wasn't really worried. She could easily steal back her spot as the Alpha Female Lead.
"Really? Why?" Kurt asked.
"Since I realized that being a star wasn't as important as being your friend. I'm sorry if I let you all down when you needed me the most. I'm willing to try. But it might take a while." Rachel caught Cassidy eyes.
"I know you and I haven't seen eye to eye and that's partly my fault." Rachel said. Cassidy wasn't sure if Rachel actually meant it or if she was just trying to weasel her way back in.
"Look Rachel. I'm sorry too." Cassidy said.
"Great, so what's next on our agenda? I was thinking we could do . . ." Cassidy cut Rachel off.
"Hold up Rachel. I ain't done yet." Cassidy said.
"What? You said you're sorry. So, what's the problem?" Rachel said.
"I'm not sorry for what I said. I'm sorry for how I said it." Cassidy said. "I'm not about to step aside and let some Broadway-in-training starlet come in and push everyone aside, Rachel. Just so she and only she can be the star." Cassidy looked around and saw everyone was paying attention to what she had to say. Including Mr. Schuster.
"I'm not about to have this be a one woman show. Where all of us are just singing backup to you. I'm not going through that again! I'm not going through another Courtney Michelle scandal again, Rachel!" Cassidy said.
"I've let someone like you, who could sing like no other. Probably could match with some the greats on Broadway. But she took it among herself to take all the solos and give nothing to anyone else. Everyone else was just her back ground group to make her look even better. She even made sure that nobody and I mean nobody else audition for the female leads in all the school and local theater productions." Cassidy took a minute to calm down. Just thinking about Courtney really riled Cassidy up. With everything she was put through thanks to Courtney.
"The thing of it is, Rachel. I shouldn't have gone the way I did when I yelled at you. I lost it because you reminded me so much of her that I was practically seeing her. I was seeing Courtney." Cassidy said.
"But I'm not Courtney. I know I'm conceited and self-absorbed and I will admit sometimes even a bit selfish. But that's just who I am. I'll try Cassidy. But let's face it. I'm a Diva. There's nothing I can do about it. But I'm willing to try or at least work on it." Rachel said.
"You're a Diva. But as everyone clearly saw a week ago. So, am I. I'm sorry for letting my Divatude show and get the best of me. I should have just talked to you instead of going on all out like that. If you're willing to leave Divatude at home. Then you're more than welcome to come back to the New Directions." Cassidy said. "And truth be told, I'm kinda missing your Broadway insight. You know music Rachel. There's no denying that. But I can help out with a lot other stuff that we might need."
"Deal." Rachel said taking Cassidy's hand shaking on it.
Part one was complete. Now to form a plan to get Cassidy to quit the New Directions. Show Finn what an awful girlfriend Quinn was and have him come running into her arms. Making Rachel Berry as Finn Hudson's girlfriend! Right, now how to do just that was the million dollar question.
(Choir Room)
"One, two, three, four. No, no, no." Rachel tried to direct the guys through the dance moves.
"Great news guys." Mr. Schue said walking in with a smile on his face. "I just got the list of our competition for Sectionals. We beat them. Then we're in great shape."
"Who are the other teams?" Cassidy said.
"Drum roll please, Finn." Mr. Schue said. Finn did the drum roll while Mr. Schue got the list out. "A school called James Addams Academy and the Perry High School's Melody Makers."
"Jane Addams? That's a half house for those just getting out of Juvie." Mercedes scoffed. They're not going to be any competition.
"The Melody Makers? What kind of name is that?" Rachel asked. They sounded like the only competition they need to beat.
"Criminals who don't care and only one real team to beat!" Artie said. "This going to be a cake walk! High five or not."
(Choir Room: One Week Later)
"Five, six, seven, eight. Step, turn, step, turn. And ball change and turn. And, you, you, and you." Mr. Schue was working through chorography with the kids and he was noticing that all of them expect for Rachel and Cassidy. Were sleep walking on him, literally. "Come on guys. Your sleep walking on me here. Giving some energy! We got Sectionals in two weeks."
"Please, Sectionals will be a breeze." Mercedes said.
"That maybe so," Mr. Schue tried to get the kids back on track. "But if we cost through Sectionals then we are going to get killed at Regionals. We have got to be on our game!"
It looked as if everything he just said went into one ear and out the other. The bell singling the end and everyone went to get ready for the rest of their classes. Mr. Schue was at a lost. It wasn't until Lunch an idea on how to get the kids motivated to be ready for Sectionals came about. Thanks to one Coach Sue Sylvester.
(Choir Room)
David was losing it. He knew it as well. Cassidy was asking him if he was alright and what was wrong with him. David couldn't tell her the truth, so he just made up some excuse. What the excuse was. David couldn't tell you because he truly doesn't remember what the excuse was that he used.
Finn was tired because of the stress of the baby and worrying about Quinn and all. But for David. He wished it was that simple. David was tired because he was worried. Worried about him being here and all the different things that were occurring that he might be messing up the whole space time continuum. It wasn't like the major things weren't happening. Glee Club still came together, they still had all the original members, and there still was all the same old drama.
But what was worrying David was all the little things that were changing too. Kurt still came out to his Dad but he didn't join the football team to try to impress his Dad like he originally did. David join Glee Club, he didn't originally do that before. Cassidy and Rachel were battling it out as to who was the HIBC of Glee Club. That definitely didn't happen before. And David joined the football team this year where he originally did that in his Junior Year. Several of these things might not seem like a big deal. But David had seen the Butterfly Effect. Sometimes just changing one little thing could change the whole system completely. David wasn't sure if that were true or not, but he rather not find out. He'll just have to keep trying his hardest to try to keep the ball rolling where it should be rolling.
Okay, Mr. Schue's here and he's talking. Wait. What's he saying? Something about competition? Huh? Anybody else confused here?
"I don't understand how lightning is in competition with an above swimming pool?" Kurt asked.
Okay, now that David stopped and thought about. How did that go with the competition metaphor? Two Politicians. Okay that makes sense. Two aggressive animals that were consider the Kings in their own domain. Okay, can see that too. But the last two? Yeah, Kurt was right. How was that relevant?
"Just go with it." Mr. Schue said. "You guys have come complacent. We needed to up our game if we want to win at Sectionals. So, split up guys on the left side girls on the left side."
Everyone started going to their respective sides. It wasn't until everyone was settled that Kurt decided to take a chance and started to walk over to the girls' side. Leaving a very confused David. Why was Kurt going over to the girls' side? He's a guy. Yeah, David and Azimio might have poke fun of him last year for looking feminine. But anyone can tell that Kurt's a guy. A really hot guy. Smooth creamy skin with no pimples. Skin tight jeans that David swears had to be painted on. Not a hair out of place. And legs that go on forever.
Wait. Why's everyone leaving? Did the bell ring already? When did that happen? Okay. Yeah, David has a crush on one Kurt Hummel. Now, if only he could have enough courage to ask him out. Oh, wait. Wasn't he supposed to come out to his parents first and then ask Kurt out? Crap.
"David? You okay?" Kurt asked.
"What? Yeah, I'm okay. Lot on my mind." David answered. Well, it wasn't a total lie.
"Hey, come on man. We're going to be late for football practice." Puck said.
"Yeah, I'm coming. See, ya around Kurt." David said. Not seeing the blush forming on Kurt's face.
(Choir Room)
"Should we wake them up?" Came a voice. David couldn't tell whose it was though. Through the sleeping fog, David could make out the other voices coming through.
"He's drooling." Came high soft voice. The one that David always dreamed about calling his name when they . . . Okay, brain stop! Awake now! He's awake now!
"Dudes! What's wrong with you two?" Puck asked.
Even in his tired haze David figured that Puck was talking about both him and Finn. Okay, what's a good excuse to use? Crap. What excuse did he tell Cassidy again? David couldn't remember nor could he come up with a good excuse right now. So, he just shrugged.
"Dudes! Go to the Nurse! Every day I say I have headache. I sleep for three hours. I haven't attended a Math class in two years." Puck said proudly. Kurt just rolls his eyes at that statement. David couldn't help put but smirk. Kurt looked so cute doing that. Okay, not the time! Stop brain! Stop!
"Yeah, sure, guys. Arrrhhummm. Keep up the good work." Finn yawned.
(Ballet Room)
It seemed like the girls weren't at all worried about the boys beating them. Quinn was nowhere to be seen. Britney was stretching. Santana was redoing her makeup. And Mercedes was busy giving Tina full on nail salon. It seemed like the only ones who taking this seriously were Rachel and Cassidy.
"Okay, girls we need to get started." Cassidy said trying to get everyone going.
"We're getting warmed up." Santana mocked.
"By playing beauty shop?" Cassidy asked.
"We can't become complacent you guys. Mr. Schue's right. We do that than we lose at Sectionals." Rachel said. For once, her and Cassidy actually agree on something.
"Please, you think any of those seven dudes are going to give us any competition?" Mercedes scoffed. "I already picked the songs. We're doing a smash up of Halo and Walking on Sunshine."
"That was Rachel's idea actually." Cassidy corrected. She couldn't believe how much they stepped down. They went from preparing their butts off to just slacking off. Really? When they're, this close of possibly showing everyone that they don't need to be divided?
"Whatever. I say we just wing it." Mercedes was more interest in giving Tina a makeover than anything else.
"We can't just wing it. We can't just slack off like some irresponsible Senior thinking that we're going to pass." Cassidy said.
She was starting to get tired of their I-don't-care attitudes. They had Sectionals in two weeks! If they slacked off now than that will be it! Figgins will cancel the Club and then we will have nothing but a yearbook to show people that we actually were in their class or actually went to school with them! All because we have the exact same attitude as the Patriots did when they went to the Super Bowl!
"Wait. What?" Santana said looking at Cassidy when she was done her rant.
Oh, crap. Did Cassidy just say all that out loud? David did say she a tendency to speak her mind no matter what. But she didn't think that she just ranted out loud her monolog. Everyone was looking at Cassidy, including Rachel wondering where the enology came from.
"When the Patriots had a perfect season. They won all their games going all the way up to the Super Bowl. They were going against. What team was it? The Giants. They were going against the Giants. A team that they already previously beaten before." Cassidy took a deep breath before continuing. "In the very first minute of the game. The Patriots won the kick off. They kick the ball and the Giants intercepted it and scored the first touchdown of the game. They wound up losing the game because they went in all cocky and thinking that they had it the bag."
"I'm with Cassidy on this. Look if we think we can beat the guys and they wind up doing a fantastic job. Then, what's to say that come Sectionals, something similar won't occur? We need to win in order to have another year." Rachel said.
"Fine. Let me finish Tina's nails then we can get started." Mercedes said still not believing that their going have any competition.
(Nurse's Office)
David and Finn went to the Nurse's Office, only it wasn't the little old lady that Puck mention. Wait. Why was Mrs. Schuster here? When did she become a Nurse? Was that legal to have a married couple working in the same place?
"Hello, boys. How can I help you?" Mrs. Schuster smiled.
"Hi. I'm David Karofsky and he's Finn Hudson. I'm extremely exhausted. Is there any way I can crash on the cot?" David asked.
David completely zoned out after that when Mrs. Schuster took a big interest in Finn. What was that all about? And what was she talking about? Thinking of girls was cheating? Huh? Ah, there's the cot. Nice, cozy, cot. Perfect for sleeping on. Wait. Was she giving us drugs?
"Are they safe?" Finn groggily asked.
"Oh, there over the counter. They stock right next to the candy bars." Mrs. Schuster said.
David and Finn looked at each. Shrugged. And they both down them with a small cup of water.
(Choir Room)
Okay, so sometimes David did something really stupid. This probably qualified as being on the list of stupid things he's done. Both, him and Finn were bursting with energy like a seven year old on a sugar rush after eating all of the Halloween candy. Feet going everywhere, smiling like an idiot and talking a mile a minute. Yeah, not the best idea David has done.
"Has your souls been taken over by caffeinated space aliens?" Artie asked.
"Nope! Just visited the school nurse!" Finn said grinning like an idiot and talking a mile a minute.
"And she gave us these great vitamins!" David said equally a fast and not caring who saw him checking out his crush, Kurt.
"What kind of vitamins?" Puck asked. If there was something on the black market to get kids a major boost of energy. Then he wanted to know about it.
"Vitamin C?" Kurt suggested trying to figure out why David was feeling his skin while pretending to see what his sleeve was made out of. "Vogue magazine says it gives an extra boost of energy and – eeekkk." Kurt quickly pulls his hand away. He was quite ticklish with that one hand. "–Brightens the complexions."
"Nope, Vitamin D and we got all you some too." Finn speed talked tossing the box. Puck caught it.
"Are they safe? I mean David seems to gone a bit more off the deep end then Finn," Artie said.
"There over the counter!" Both, Finn and David said in unison.
Kurt took the box from Puck and began reading it. "I don't know guys."
"Oh, live a little Hummel."
********** Glee Video: Vitamin D Anatomy ************
I feel so energized.
They were in the part of the school Kurt avoided like the plague more so than the Jock Hall. But, Puck on the other hand, knew it like the back of his Mohawk. This was the Dealers and Buyers part of the school. Anything and everything that could be sold and/or bought on the black market happened here.
(Puck)
Drug Market,
Submarket,
Sometimes, I wonder why I ever got in.
Blood Market,
Love Market,
Sometimes, I wonder why they need me at all.
Vitamin D comes in a little cardboard box.
(Kurt)
A little cardboard box?
(Crowd)
A little cardboard box.
(Puck)
And with the little cardboard box you just pop it open.
(Crowd)
Ha. Ha. Ha.
(Puck)
And inside the cardboard box you'll find a little pill sheet.
(Crowd)
Ha. Ha. Ha.
(Puck)
And just pop 'em out,
And pop 'em in,
And then you ready for that Mash Off.
Mash Off.
(Crowd)
Mash Off.
David walked around the corner with two D.D.G. (Drop Dead Gorgeous) Cheerios, one on each side of him.
(David)
Lima Badass, Lima Badass.
Sometimes, I wonder why I even bother.
Lima Badass, Lima Badass.
Sometimes I wonder why I need you at all.
(Puck)
And David is in need of an extreme energy boost.
(Kurt)
Is in need of an extreme energy boost?
(Crowd)
Is in need of an extreme energy boost.
(Puck)
And with him needing that energy boost,
He needs a little help getting the energy boost.
(Crowd)
Energy.
(Puck)
And a little help comes in little cardboard box.
In a little pill sheet.
And when you pop 'em out
And pop 'em in
Then Mr. Karofsky is ready for that Mash Up.
Mash Up.
(Crowd)
Mash Up.
(David)
Lima Badass, Lima Badass.
Sometimes, I wonder why I need you at all.
(Crowd)
It's clean,
It's clear,
It's pure,
It's FDA Approve.
(Kurt)
It's what?
(Crowd)
It's clean,
It's clear,
It's pure,
It's FDA Approve.
It's clean,
It's clear,

(Puck)
It takes you there.
(Kurt)
It what?
(Puck)
Before the competition,
An energy boost.
(David)
I feel so energized.
I feel the energy!
Puck whistles Finn Hudson's song from Glee Try Outs.
(Kurt)
Hey, isn't that Finn Hudson's song?
(David)
Who did that?
Puck points to Kurt and motions that it was him who did it.
(David)
So you think you got heart?
So you think you got balls?
So you think Finn can sing?
(Kurt)
I don't think nothing at all.
(David)
So you think Finn has the pipes?
Well, it's my turn to shine.
When Ryan Murphy strikes!
(Kurt)
What are you talking about?
David slams the Fox Glee Tabloid in Kurt's hand. Kurt sees the front cover and quickly turns to the page to the article.
(Puck)
Finn's Glee contract has got some mighty fine print.
(Kurt)
Some mighty fine print?
(Crowd)
Some mighty . . . Fine . . . Print.
(Puck)
And with that mighty fine print puts Finn in a mighty fine predicament.
(Crowd)
Doo doo doo doo!
(Puck)
If Finn doesn't perform, his lead role in Glee is forfeit.
And if Ryan Murphy and Will Schuster so will it.
Then Finn's singing career ends.
And he'll have to pay for that Mash Off.
Mash Off.
Mash Off!
VVVVvvvvvrrrrrrrrrooooooommmmmm! VVVVvvvvvrrrrrrrrrooooooommmmmm!
Sirens are heard throughout the hall. All the students quickly scramble to other hallways or classrooms as teachers and security hurries in with Detention Slips and Suspension Papers.
(Crowd)
I feel so energized.
I feel so energized.
"Will, we have David. We're bringing him in now." Miss Pillsbury says in a walkie talkie.
(Crowd)
I feel so energized.
***************** Glee Video: Vitamin D Anatomy **************
"I don't know guys." Kurt said.
"Oh, live a little, Hummel." Puck said already popping two in. The rest of the group soon followed suit.
Kurt presses his lips together but reluctantly and hesitantly pops in two as well.
(Kurt)
Bye, bye, bye!
I know that I can't take no more
It ain't no lie
I wanna see you out that door
Baby, bye, bye, bye.
Kurt was dancing and singing around the Choir Room listening to his iPod. Not realizing that he had an audience watching him. This actually gave Finn an idea. He remembered that Quinn and Rachel was secretly at one point a fan of the boy bands. What better way to beat the girls. Okay, so Kurt's doing – what was the name of that band? – Instinct? Okay, so what will be another great boy band to go with it?
(Finn)
You are my fire
The one desire
Believe when I say
I want it that it way
Kurt took his ear buds out when he heard Finn singing. Kurt didn't realize that the other guys were there in the room with him. Nor did he realize that he started to sing out loud his secret guilty pleasure. Okay, so sue him. Kurt actually thought Justin Timberlake was hot.
(David and Mike)
Bye, Bye, Bye
(Puck, Matt and Artie)
You are my fire
The one desire
(Kurt with Mike and David)
Don't really wanna make it tough,
I just wanna tell you that I had enough.
(Finn)
You may hate me
But it ain't no lie.
All the boys were staring at one another with monster grins on their faces. They just found the perfect Mash Up. Now, they had to figure out who gets what role and who goes with which team. They were going to beat the girls.
(Choir Room)
It was Tuesday and the boys were performing. The girls didn't seem that worried though. Probably thinking that the guys just came up with their Mash Up at the last minute was in no way in any competition for them. Boy, were they in for a surprised.
(Kurt)
Hey, Hey

When the song ended there was stung silence from the girls. They didn't think that they would have this to compete with. Oh, boy. Now, they really have to up their game if they want to win. This cannot be happening!
"Alright guys! I don't what you did but keep doing it! It's like someone slip something in your juice boxes or something. You ladies better bring it tomorrow or otherwise. We got our opening number for Sectionals!" Mr. Schue said patting the guys on the backs as they jump up and down with joy.
(Hallway)
"Hey. I haven't seen Glee rehearsals." Cassidy said stopping by Quinn's Locker. She got the feeling why Quinn was avoiding Glee was because of her accidentally letting it slip to the others.
"I'm not Super Women. I have the Cheerios, I'm on the Honor Roll, and I have friends. Glee's not my entire life like you and Man Hands." Quinn said getting her books for what she will need for homework and leaving the others.
"Quinn. I feel really bad, okay? It was my fault. You trusted me with it and I . . ." Cassidy looked around to make sure no one was listening. Especially that stalkerazzi Gossip Columnist Jacob Ben Israel. "I let my big mouth run with it. But Quinn. You should come back to practice. Its boys verses girls and we could really use your voice right now. You're an actually good singer. If that helps."
"I'm not mad at you. Puck would have told everybody about it and not feel ashamed at all." Quinn said. "So, far. You have been proving how good of friend you are. You know if the roles were reversed I probably be torching one of guys in Glee."
"I know. But you have a choice. Go with what society keeps saying it the "right way" to go in life. Or live life the way you see fit. It's what my Aunt always tells me." Cassidy said. She headed on her way to get ready for practice. They still need to either perfect their Mash Up or come up with something entirely different. Yeah, there's a miracle waiting to happen. A new Mash Up? Within a day.? Not impossible but what two songs and how to convince Miss Drama Queen Diva?
(Choir Room)
"I told you guys." Rachel berated.
"We know. You've been berating us for a better part of an hour." Santana said. She was getting sick and tire of Rachel screeching the exact same thing over and over again.
"Were they really that good?" Quinn asked.
"They were Quinn." Cassidy said. "They did a Mash Up of N*Sync's Bye, Bye, Bye and Backstreet Boys' I Want It That Way."
"I was fine with the ranging, choreographing and directing this number free of charge." Rachel said in her bossy voice.
"I don't remember agreeing to that." Cassidy mumble under her breath.
"But we underestimated the boys." Rachel said with an irritated sigh. "Their number will go to Sectionals and once again I will be humiliated."
"How were we supposed to know they rock the house? They never been good." Mercedes said.
"How did they d-do it?" Tina asked.
"I don't know Tina! But we let ourselves become complacent. We're the Patriots and they were the Giants!" Rachel said using Cassidy' enology from earlier.
"Well, if you girls don't mind staying late and working your tails off." Cassidy said getting up and standing where Rachel was. "I have an idea."
(Choir Room)
It was Wednesday the day that the girls will perform. Cassidy had a feeling that Rachel will be fuming at her for the rest of the week because everyone liked her idea instead of Rachel's for the Mash Up. Cassidy did make sure to give Rachel a solo in the Mash Up. However, she's starting to wonder if all Rachel wanted to do was to have nothing but full on creative control of the entire Glee Club. Oh, boy. Here we go again. Another, Courtney to deal with.
(Rachel [with New Directions Girls])
The French are glad to die for love . . .
A kiss on the hand may be quite continental,
But diamonds are a [girl's best friend].

A kiss may be grand, but it won't pay the rental
(Cassidy)
On your humble flat, or help you feed your, meow!
Pussy cat.
(New Direction Girls)
Men grow cold as girls grow old
(Cassidy)
And we all lose our charms in the end.

But square-cut or pear-shaped,
These rocks don't lose their shape.
Diamonds are a girl's best friend.

Tiffany!

When the girls finished their Mash Up, they were greeted with an astounding applause from the guys. Rachel wouldn't admit this, but Cassidy's idea was specular, if she does say so herself. Now, all she needs was the perfect plan to start breaking down Cassidy and have her leave the Glee Club permanently. Then Finn will see what an excellent leader/girlfriend Rachel will be without any competition in her way.
"Alright, ladies! That was awesome. Our celebrity judge as her work cut out for her!" Mr. Schue said impressed with the girls Mash UP.
(Study Hall)
When the adrenaline rush wore off and the crash landing came full on suit. David realized what terrible mistake they just made. They cheated. Big time cheated. If this was football not would they be disqualified and kicked off the team but the entire team would be disqualified as well. Oh, man and David did while his sister thought it was just the energy boost from competing with a heavy dose of caffeine.
Cassidy was a little suspicious about how energetic the guys were during their Mash Up. So, she cornered the only person she thought she had any chance on spilling the beans. Kurt. Cassidy tried to bribe him with a silk scarf from one Kurt's favorite designers. Instead of cracking like he almost did. Kurt told Cassidy that they all went for coffee when trying to figure out their Mash UP and had an overdose on coffee when trying to cool their nerves.
Great. Not only did they cheat their butts off in their Mash Up to beat the girls. But David had made his all-time crush Kurt, into a liar as well. David thought the best way to deal with this situation was to do the right thing. Come clean to Mr. Schue and disqualify themselves from the competition. That way, at least for David, he can go to Glee practice without feeling guilty. David approached the rest of the guys and told them what he thought they should do. All of them agreed that it was the right thing to do. All of them were starting to feel pretty bad for cheating. Surprisingly, even Puck felt slightly guilty. Huh, who knew that he might have a conscious?
(Mr. Schue's Office)
"Hey, Mr. Schue? Do you have a minute?" David asked.
"Yeah, sure. What can I do for you David?" Mr. said.
"Well, I kinda need to tell you something. You're probably going to be hearing about, so best that you heard from the horse's mouth as the saying goes." Mr. Schue gave David time to collect himself. Apparently whatever it was bothering him was pretty big. "Mr. Schue, we cheated. Finn and I couldn't keep our eyes open so we headed to the Nurse's Office. Where she gave these vitamins. We took them and took the res to the guys, who also took some before our Mash UP. We felt pretty bad for what we did."
"Well, first David. Thanks for coming clean and telling me this. You guys are disqualified for that. But it looks like I need to have a chat with Terri and then I'm going to figure out a punishment for you guys." Mr. Schue said before he got up and headed out to talk to his wife Terri.
David got up to leave as well. That actually went better than expected. Now, to go face the music when the girls find out the guys cheated and to be berated by his sister Cassidy. All in a day's work.
