It's getting closer to graduation. Only two weeks away. We'll go to Chicago this weekend and have nationals. Then after that graduation is coming over. I'm not ready to be separated from Finn but we won't know until we get tested.

"You okay? You've been quiet since this morning." Finn frowned at me. "Oh, I have this for you." Finn chuckled and took something from his bag. "Sour patch kids. It has been in my bag for like three days but I can make sure that you won't get poisoned after that."

"Thank you. I'm not on period but this is going to put me in a better mood." I giggled and shut my locker. "No, I was just having a thought. We're only two weeks away until graduation and then you'll fly to Georgia."

"We can do that." Finn smiled at me and rubbed my head. "For now, just make these last two weeks as the best we can have."

"I agree." I smiled back at him.

Finn smiled and hold my hand as we walked in the hallways together and walked to the choir room. We are getting ready for Nationals and I'm little bit nervous but I'm sure, I can do it.

"Nationals." Dad grinned at us as we are cheering. "Okay, song selection: We'll be kicking off our "Vintage" theme with the legendary Jim Steinman's "Paradise by the Dashboard Light." Rachel will do the solo, "It's All Com.."

"Coming Back to Me Now." One of Celine Dion's most powerful ballads, inspired by Wuthering Heights." Rachel cut him off.

"And we'll be working in a new Troubletones number, utilizing the talents of our featured performer, Porcelina Hummel." Coach Sue said and pointed to Kurt.

"Not gonna happen, Dragon Lady." Kurt frowned and shook his head.

"Oh, you'll do as you're told, he/she. We will be performing "What A Feeling," from Flashdance, and I'm familiar with the choreography, of course, because I was Jennifer Beals' dance double. And on that note, please look under your seats." Coach Sue said to us.

I looked under my seat and grabbed the box. It's a weird helmets and some other stuff. But what for all of these?

"Welding helmets and leg warmers?!" Finn frowned.

"Best way to get props is to use props. A healthy dose of props, and our plucky transsexual Porcelina, and you are over the top." Coach Sue said to us.

"Aren't props a little cheesy?" Blaine asked.

"Guys, I've asked for Sue's help because she's a winner, and I'm not ashamed to admit this I want to win. But there's not one person in that audience who will think we're anything but underdogs who would be lucky to place in Nationals. We didn't even make the top ten last year. We've got one last week to come together and shake things up. If there's anyone here who is not up for trying and working their butts off, you should just get up right now and leave." Dad said to us.

Tina suddenly stood up from her seat and looked angry. "Whoa, whoa, Tina, where you going?" Finn frowned at Tina.

"You guys don't need me carry on." Tina simply said.

"Tina, you don't understand. I need this." Rachel said to Tina.

"Because you blew an audition? That's not a reason for you to get a solo at Nationals. Maybe the rest of us would like one, too." Tina said to Rachel.

"I wouldn't mind another one before I get deported." Rory simply said.

"I want one. Even though I can't sing." Sugar added.

"Tina, Rachel is a senior." Mike frowned at Tina.

"So are you, but you can bet the only thing you'll be doing is a dance break with Brittany. Other people matter." Tina said angrily.
