IT WAS A NEW WEEK and we were all sitting in the choir room watching Mr. Schue write some pretty wrong math on the board.

"All right, we need $5,000 to pay for our trip to nationals in New York." Mr. Schue informs us.

"What happened to the money that we got from the Cheerios?" Quinn asks.

"I guess Sue was hiding it in offshore accounts in the Cayman Islands...and we're having some trouble accessing some of it. Any of it." Mr. Schue answers as he grabs some candy from the boxes on the piano, "This is salt water taffy."

"I love saltwater." Brittany comments.

"When I was a student here, we paid for our entire trip to nationals selling this... classroom to classroom, door to door. We pushed this stuff like crack. And so will we. So to make $5,000 at 25 cents apiece...we need to sell 20,000 pieces of taffy." Mr. Schue explains.

"Wait. Do you honestly think that we can sell 20,000 anythings? We won regionals for the first time since dinosaurs roamed the planet...and I still got a freakin' cherry ICEE facial." Santana says.

"Yeah, Santana's right. Nobody cares about us." Quinn adds.

"I can't listen to this." Mike mumbles as he gets up to leave.

"Mike, are you okay?" Mr. Schue asks.

"No. You guys complain all the time about being mistreated...but you have no idea what it's like to work your butt off for something...and have everyone, even your friends, ignore you." Mike responds.

"I'm so trying to remember his name right now." Lauren comments.

"Artie, Tina, Brittany and I are on the Brainiacs." Mike tells us.

"Isn't that the Academic Decathlon team?" Rachel asks.

"We have one of those?" Finn asks with a mouth full of taffy.

"Yes, we do. And the four of us went on the Smarty Pants Show...and beat Carmel High to go to the Academic Decathlon finals in Detroit next week." Artie tells us.

"You guys were on TV? Why didn't you tell us about it?" Sam asks.

"We did."

"Wait. I- I get the three of you being on the team." Mr. Schue comments.

"Is it because two of them are Asian and Artie wears glasses?" Sebastian asks.

"No. But Brittany?" Mr. Schue asks.

"Liz Schneider was our fourth, but she got rubella." Mike answers.

"Her parents are hippies who don't believe in vaccinations." Tina adds.

"Brittany was the only person we could find on short notice. We bribed her with Dots. That Sunshine Corazon that Rachel sent to a crack house...was on the other team. Luckily, we had our own secret weapon. Sadly, we can't afford to go to the finals, so we're gonna have to forfeit." Artie explains.
