Mercedes closes her locker and goes to her third period class. She's extraordinarily happy with life and it shows on her face like her subtly applied makeup.

She sits near the door and passes notes back and forth with Santana when she feels someone watching her. She looks around covertly but if they aren't watching Señora Ramos, the other students are in their books.

So she looks at the door and sees a face she doesn't expect. She screams.

Mrs. Ramos and everyone else look at her. "What's wrong?! Are you okay?!"

Mercedes looks at her teacher before looking back at the door but the face is gone. Is she seeing things? "Lo siento señora."

"Are you sure you're okay?" Mrs. Ramos asks.

Mercedes is shaken but there's no proof of anything so she nods. "Sí señora."

"Okay." The educator gets back into her lesson.

Santana bumps Mercedes' arm and whispers, "You okay?"

Mercedes nods, not wanting to cause a scene.

Santana shrugs and goes back to complaining about Brittany eating off the floor.

MJ

The bell rings for lunch/fourth period and the classrooms empty.

Mercedes spills out of her class as she makes plans to spend fifth period with her friend. She and Santana go their separate ways when she hears a sound.

It's low and soft and she doesn't understand how she heard it over the noise of the hallway but she turns.

Standing against the wall with her arms crossed is her younger sister, Marcy.

Mercedes screams again and goes to hug her but Marcy pushes her away. "You can let me hug you!"

Marcy shakes her head.

Mercedes pouts before brightening. "I can't believe you're here! Does anyone know?!"

Marcy shakes her head again.

"Are you on another vow of silence?"

"No." Marcy's low voice is measured but bored.

Mercedes is so happy to see her sister that she ignores the feeling that something is off. She quickly shoots a message to the glee club to meet in the choir room. "Follow me. Aren't you hot?"

Marcy is wearing black jeans with combat boots and a heavy black hoodie. She gives a barely there shrug.

Mercedes frowns a bit. "I listened to your advice. I chose all of them."

Marcy says nothing.

Mercedes risks a peek. Marcy is eyeballing the floor. "Did you just get off a plane?"

"Basically."

"You must have jetlag." That must be it!

Marcy is quiet again.

Mercedes takes her downstairs to the choir room. Everyone is there wondering why she's called an emergency glee meeting.

Until Mike and Quinn see her guest. "Marcy!"

The club is bowled over by this girl. When standing side by side, you see where she and Mercedes are sisters. They have basically the same shape, Marcy's a tad bit smaller, they have the same ears and head shape and small nose and chin and full chubby cheeks.

But for some odd reason, she also looks like Quinn. She's extremely light skinned and has green eyes. Her thick hair is multi colored and up in a huge bun at the base of her neck with long bangs covering her eyes.
