"Nationals." Dad says as he wrote 'nationals' on the white board. "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.." Dad got cut off.

"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 says to us and points at Kurt.

"Not gonna happen, Dragon Lady." Kurt shakes 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 says to us.

I frown and look under my chair until I see leg warmers and welding helmets on the box. I turn my face at dad and raise my eyebrows ar him and he just nodded at me.

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

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

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

"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 says to us.

Tina suddenly stand up from her seat and about to walk away. "Whoa, whoa, Tina, where you going?" Finn asks her.

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

"Tina, you don't understand. I need this." Rachel says 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 protest.

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

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

"Tina, Rachel is a senior." Mike says to Tina.

"So are you, but you can bet the only thing you'll be doing is a dance break with Brittany or Paris. Other people matter." Tina says to Mike.

"Tina, you may not always get all the solos, but you are a key player. I put you in charge of costumes." Dad says to Tina.

"Wow! Like that's some prize. You want props to move around? Well, I'm a human prop, and I'm sick of it!" Tina protest.

"Take a lap and cool down, Asian Number One." Coach Sue says to her.

"My name is Tina. Tina Cohen Chang!" Tina yelled and walk away from the choir room.

"Isn't she the one who used to stutter?" Coach Sue simply asks.

I let out a sigh and being quiet. I turn my face at dad and give him a disappointed look. He knows his daughter and I can tell him that he made a wrong decision again.

"Dad!! Dad!!" I shout and hold my chest.

"Yes, baby? I'm coming! I'm coming!" Dad shouts back and run to my room. "Hold on. Hold on."
