A/N: Some of you had a problem with the last chapter - just keep in mind that Puck is still a bully, no matter how good he has seemed, he's still got overwhelming urges to pull pranks, because it's fun. Yea, he's still an asshole, but that's just who Puck is. Finn didn't really want to do it, but Puck assured him that it wouldn't be hurting anyone. Blaine only believed them because he only just got out of surgery - he's still a little bit dopey and derpy...but whatever. :)

"Blaine, I need your help for ideas for Regionals."

Blaine laughed. "Nick, you realise that I'm your competition right?"

"Yeah, but once a Warbler always a Warbler right? Please Blaine?"

Blaine laughed again. "Okay, okay, I'll help. What's the problem?"

"We need something different this year...something that'll make us…unique. The synchronized stepping is okay, but it doesn't make us stand out."

"Well...What's your set list?" Blaine asked thoughtfully.

Nick laughed, shaking his head. "Blaine, you're the competition remember?"

Blaine pouted. "Fine…"

Nick laughed again. "Well, any suggestions?"

"Well...you could always try actually dancing...it works well for McKinley and I'm fairly sure you could get the girls from Crawford County Day to help...? That'd be cool – they could be dancing in their uniforms and you guys in your blazers…"

"Blaine, you're going off in a tangent again."

Blaine shook his head. "You did ask for ideas…"

"This is probably breaking about fifty show-choir rules."

"Eh." Blaine waved his hand dismissively, despite the fact Nick couldn't see him. "We didn't reveal any of our set lists, and I only have a vague idea of what you're going to base it on…so it's fine."

Nick chuckled. "Alright...I'll think about it. Thanks Blaine!"

^.^

"So...I talked to Blaine...and he had a suggestion." Nick rubbed his hands together, addressing the group. "He said we should try adding dancing to our routine."

"Dancing?" Trent tilted his head in confusion.

"But Warblers don't dance!" Jeff exclaimed, folding his arms.

"No..." Sebastian interrupted with a sly grin. "The Warblers didn't dance because Blaine couldn't dance."

There was stifled laughter around the room, and Nick nodded.

"Exactly." He called over the noise of the other Warblers agreeing on Sebastian's point. "So are we agreed?"

^.^

"So…Nick rang me earlier."

"Oh? What did he want?" Kurt asked from the bench, putting together a sandwich.

"Some tips for Regionals." Blaine laughed.

"What did you tell him?" Kurt sat next to him on the couch, handing him his half.

"I suggested they dance... The Warblers haven't danced in a competition for a couple of years now...and it's because they actually can't dance. We tried it once, and everyone was out of time with me...I just hope they'll step it up enough..."

Blaine looked troubled.

Kurt snorted into his sandwich.

A/N: We make fun of poor Blainers far too much...
