"Everybody loves movies. They don't just tell a story. They transport us to other worlds. There inspirational. They provide comfort. They help us escape from our day-to-day anxieties." Mr. Schue said, after writing Movies on the board.
"Like getting left at the altar?" Kitty asked, and Blaine's hand quickly went over my mouth, which was good because I was going to burst into laughter. Kitty was one of the funniest people I knew, I couldn't be alone around her and someone she hated.
"Exactly. Or in your guys case, studying for exams, or prepping for regionals. Which brings us to this weeks assignment, I want you to pick songs from your favorite movies!" He smiled, changing the subject and I got extremely excited. Blaine and I had to do Come What May from Moulin Rouge, it was the only answer.
"Unique knows all there is to know about the crying game." Unique smiled, and Kitty interrupted.
You don't get dibs on Les Mis just because you are the poster." She shrugged to Marley, who's mood changed very fast.
"Well, Blaine and I get dibs on Moulin Rouge!" I yelled and he high-fived me, he was thinking the exact same thing.
" I can do my Nicolas Cage impression. No, not the bees, bees, no!" Sam said, doing a horrible impression.
"That was the worst Nicolas Cage impression I've ever seen." Kitty looked disgusted at what she just saw.
"Do you even know who Nicolas Cage is?" Artie asked, and she looked very offended now.
"Okay, it's not that simple guys. This is a group competition boys against girls, and we are doing mash ups. Remember, movies are visual. It's not just about singing. It's about, performance it's about theatricality. It's about the language of cinema." Mr. Schue interrupted and my mood dropped.
"Preach. And as I move into production on my first micro budget feature, I'm happy to offer, starring roles to whichever team. No trailers, no per diem." Artie smiled, rolling to the front of the room, and we all cheered.
I walked over to the girls, and Blaine started to talk to Artie.
"We should do the artist so we don't have to sing!" Sugar smiled, and we all looked at her like she was crazy.
"Or, we could do a Marilyn Monroe mash-up! I love Diamonds Are A Girl's best friend." I suggested, and they all actually went crazy.
"Yes, girl, Unique is Marilyn!" Unique squealed, and we all started to discuss the choreography and costumes.
"Sam, are you still on the synchronized swimming team?" I asked, pointing out his letterman jacket, and he quickly got embarrassed, but before he could respond Blaine walked up.
"Hey, guys, Brittany and I were talking." He said and Brittany finished his sentence for him.
"And we agreed that even though we love mash up week, it's girls versus boys." She smiled, then looked at Blaine who kept it going.
"We were sad that we couldn't do a song together, so we were thinking, just as a warm-up, we should do a guys versus girls in the same number!" He said, looking extremely excited.
"The girls can kick the boys' butts!" Brittany shrugged and I smiled.
"Or vice versa." Blaine defended and I grabbed his shoulder.
"It would have to be the perfect movie song you know like 'Dream Warriors from Nightmare on Elm Street 3." Sam suggested and Tina turned him down.
"Yeah, or a good song like 'Let the river run' from Working Girl." Tina said, and I put my hand in her face.
"How about 'Don't You Forget About Me' from The Breakfast Club?" I smiled, and Blaine liked that idea, but it was shot down.
"Or 'wind beneath my wings' from Beaches." Marley suggested.
"No, no, no. How about this? The best movie song of all time, totally iconic, and everyone loves it. A little ditty from the Seminole American College comedy- Animal House!" Blaine smiled, and there was no arguing because he had already started singing.

"I realize this number wasn't in competition, but you do know it's not a mash up right?" Artie rolled in between us three, and we all shrugged then high-fived.
"I'm getting a call from Lord Tubbington, I gotta go." Brittany said, and ran out of the cafeteria.
"Have I ever told you how cute you look in pink?" I asked Blaine, and I straightened his pink vest.
"No, actually, you haven't." He smiled, and I nodded.
"Well, you look absolutely adorable." I laughed, and he grabbed my hands.
"Let's skip lunch and go to the auditorium, I want to do something with you." He pulled me out of the cafeteria before I could even object.
"Okay, what did you wanna do?" I asked, sitting on the piano. He didn't say anything, and instead just started playing Come What May on the piano.
He pulled me down, and we started singing as Brad came up and played for him. We finished the song, my arms were draped around his shoulders, and his hands were on my waist.
"I love that song." I smiled, before pulling him into a kiss.
"I hope they mash-up 'Batdance' with Howard The Duck!" Sugar yelled, and Tina shushed her.
Blaine turned around in a pilot's costume and put on aviator sunglasses when he started singing. Ryder, Jake and Sam came out in the Risky Business outfit, and I was really wishing Blaine would of been in it, but knowing him, he would of chosen the pilot anyday. He was still extremely cute in the pilot costume, and he nailed the song. I stood up and cheered as the bowed.
"Okay, that was awesome. Where did you come up with the inspiration?" Finn asked, his jaw dropped.
"Well, it's our tribute to the early macho cinema of one, Mr. Tom Cruise." Artie smiled, and Joe chimed in with an impression.
"You can't handle the truth." He said, but we were all really confused.
"Girls, you're up!" Mr. Schue yelled, breaking the silence.
"You better be ready for this." I winked to Blaine as we all walked out to the bathroom.

"Wow! Come on- Come on, you guys! Let's hear it for the girls. How about that?" Finn yelled as they all started cheering, then the bell rang.
"Have I ever told you how cute you look in pink?" Blaine asked, coming up behind me in the hall when I was going to change.
"No, actually, you haven't." I teased back to our earlier conversation.
"Well, you look absolutely adorable." He smiled, flipping me around and pecking me on the lips.
"Oh my god, it is freezing out here." I shivered as we were walking to where Miss. Pillsbury was staying.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Blaine laughed, and he took off his jacket and threw it around me.
"No, now your going to be cold." I frowned, and he wrapped his arm around me.
"I am fine, I swear." He smiled, and I saw the goosebumps on his arm as we kept walking.
"Will, are you crazy?" Miss Pillsbury asked, after we sang to her.
"Crazy about you." He said, and I softly laughed at the sap.
" but that's vision quest and Matthew Modine skipping rope isn't nearly as romantic as John Cusack holding a boombox. Please get down here so I can tell you how much I love you and I'm never gonna let you go." Mr. Schue smiled, looking up at her in the window, and I looked at Blaine, who was smiling at me. I kissed him on the cheek and kept watching the two adults.
"Guys." Mr. Schue turned around and we all started to walk away.
"He seriously made us walk out here for one song and we don't even get to watch what happens?" I pouted, and Blaine squeezed me.
"They want it to be private." He shrugged, and I sighed.
"But I'm nosy." I groaned, and he booped my nose.
"I love that about you." He laughed.
"What else do you love about me?" I asked, looking up at him innocently.
"Let's see... Everything." He smiled, after counting on his hands.
"Okay, that was the sappiest thing ever." I kissed his cheek and laid my head on his chest as he huddled around me to keep me warm while we walked.
"Ladies and Gentlemen it is time to announce this years Mash-off winner!" Mr. Schue said, and we all cheered.
"Who, of course, will be starring in my film project Hollywood hootenanny." Artie smiled, and Tina patted him on the shoulder.
"And the winner is.. Everyone!" He announced and we all groaned.
"We were better." I frowned, in Blaine, looked at me, fake pouting.
"You know it's true, baby." I smiled, and I placed my hand on his knee.
There was lots of complaints until already started yelling.
"Calm down, y'all, calm down! After exhaustive storyboarding in pre-production, I realized that I needed a lot of talented bodies to make this film. Great. So, choosing one winner was just simply impossible." Artie sighed and I crossed my arms.
"At least we'll do it together." Blaine smiled, and suddenly my bad mood vanished.
"That is exactly right. Finn to talk to you in the hallway for a second?" Mr. Schue asked, and my eyes widened, as he stood up and walked out.
"What do you know?" Blaine asked, squinting his eyes at me.
"That is confidential." I looked away and he laughed.
"Blaine, I've gotta tell you something." I suddenly went serious and looked into his eyes.
"What's up?" He asked, looking worried.
"I love you." I smiled and bit my lip.
"Okay, you can't complain about me being sappy if you're going to do that." He laughed, then he pulled me in for a kiss.
