RACHEL HAD SENT SUNSHINE TO A CRACK HOUSE.

Which is why, the glee club was now sitting in the auditorium with Sunshine on stage.

"Hi, I'm Sunshine Corazon, and I'll be singing Listen from the movie Dreamgirls." Sunshine scanned the group.

"Broadway show first." Rachel looked back from the pews.

A couple of the members shushed her, while Puck and Ivory went the more vocal route.

"Shut up." The two of them said.

[LISTEN - Performed by Sunshine Corazon]

Who knew such a small body could produce that great of a voice?

Once she finished singing, the glee club broke into cheers.

"Wow, uhm," Mr. Schue stood up. "Welcome to the Glee Club." Everyone cheered again.

IVORY, LUKE, ALEX, AND REGGIE WERE ALL SITTING IN A BOOTH AT GRACE COLLYMORE'S DINER.

"So, you guys never told us how the audition went." Reggie glanced between the two.

"He did great!" Ivory smiled, nudging his arm. "And of course, he got in. Mr. Schue did say anyone could join, so, it was pretty easy for him." She joked.

"What are you gonna do about hockey, then?" Alex questioned.

"I'll figure it out. I've already looked into joining a team outside of school." He said, taking a sip of his soda.

"Alright, here you kids go." Grace handed the group the food that they ordered.

A chorus of thank you's rang through the group before she walked away.

"So, Ivory, when's the first softball game?" Reggie asked, taking a bite from his burger.

"Oh, I didn't tell you guys? Here, let me show you the game schedule." She pulled out a piece of paper with dates written for games, practices, and the teams they would be playing.

"Ah, the first game is in two days! You think you're ready for it?" Alex looked up at her.

"I was born ready," Ivory smirked.

"ALRIGHT, WHO CAN TELL ME WHO CHRISTOPHER CROSS IS?" Mr. Schue turned away from the whiteboard.

"He discovered America," Brittany answered.

"Close. He did write an iconic chart Topper, Sailing." Mr. Schue corrected her.

"I have a bad feeling about this lesson," Kurt whispered to Mercedes, Luke, and Ivory.

"Never heard of him, don't want to hear about him," Tina muttered.

"Now, some people think of the term 'Easy Listening' as a bad thing. But I'm gonna let this music speak for itself." Mr. Schue started passing out the lyric sheets. "You guys love Lady Gaga and the Rolling Stones, and you guys are really good about putting it all out there. But, really good music can also be controlled and restrained. It doesn't have to attack an audience it can let them come to you."

"How can you get caught between the moon and New York City? They're like a hundred miles apart." Finn asked.

"Mr. Schue, if I may? I think I speak for all of us when I say that it's not that we don't love the idea of spending a week on this silky smooth adult contemporary, it's just that, as teens, this isn't the easiest music for us to relate to." Kurt started, making Ivory slightly nod her head. "However, there is a burgeoning Facebook campaign that has swelled to over five members. The ardent demand, that this week at the fall homecoming assembly, the McKinley Highschool Glee Club perform a number by, wait for it, Ms. Britney Spears."

"Yo, Spears is fierce, yo." Artie chimed in.

"Sorry, Kurt, Kurt, sorry. No, no, no. I don't think she's a very good role model." Mr. Schue shot down the idea.

"But Mr. Schue, we kinda grew up with her." Rachel started.

"She's literally why I wanted to become a performer." Tina continued.

"I don't want to do Britney," Brittany mumbled.

"Why no Britney, Brittany?" Kurt asked.

"Because my name is also Brittany Spears."
