To try make things right, Finn had asked the Troubletones to come to the New Directions' lesson that week. Nathalie didn't want to go, since she deeply knew that all her friends desperately wanted her back.
Taking a huge sigh, the girl walked in on the choir room and all eyes were set on her. The girl completely ignored the hopeful and relieved looks as she looked at the white board with the words lady music week written on it, making the girl scoff and glare at Finn, "wait. You had asked us to come here just to give an assignment about girls?" she raised her eyebrows as the boy avoided her eye contact, "why did I come here?"
"To support your friend," Bea answered and gave her sister a look, asking her to sit down and stay for the lesson. The sister sighed, and sat down to the only chair available, the one next to Quinn.
The blonde shyly smiled and sneakingly looked at her ex-girlfriend, happy that she stayed for the lesson.
"This week, the Trouble Tones and New Directions will both be singing music created by ladies and for ladies," Finn introduced the assignment and Nathalie rolled her eyes, "next week, all of us will be going to Sectionals, and one of us is probably gonna win. But Santana, we're worried about you."
"Worry about yourself," Santana retorted and Finn sadly sighed, "glee's about learning how to accept yourself for who you are, no matter what other people think. And that's what this music is all about."
"So, wait, I don't have a say in this?" Santana scoffed, "not cool."
"Everybody in this room knows about you and Brittany," Finn spoke and Santana instantly shut up, scared of what other people would think, "and we don't judge you for it. We celebrate it because it's who you are. Look, I know not everybody outside of this room is as accepting and cool, but we're doing this assignment this week so that you two know in this rotten, stinking mean world that you at least have a group of people who will support your choice to be whoever you want to be. That's it. That's what we're doing here."
Nathalie finally showed a smile to her brother. The girl was actually pleased with the reason behind the assignment, but she still can't shake the fact that Finn outed Santana in front of everyone, without the girl's consent.
Kurt and Blaine were asked by Finn to start off their performance and the couple gladly accepted the request. The two boys proudly stood in front of the two glee clubs, "I know it's hard to come out," Kurt started and gave Santana a small smile, "it was hard for me, too. It was hard for Bea, Nathalie and Quinn."
The mention of the two made Quinn grab Nathalie's hand. The latter looked down and shyly smiled as she saw Quinn brushing her knuckles, trying to tell Nathalie she's there for her.
Both Quinn and Nathalie blurred out the rest of the conversation as the two stayed looking at each other's hand and, occasionally, each other, both not wanting for that little moment to end.
As Blaine and Kurt were singing Perfect by Pink, both Tina and Bea were looking at the ex-couple with interest. They surely and desperately wanted the two girls back together so that their little group could be together again.
"Do you think they'll get back together?" Tina whispered-asked Bea, who gave her an unsure look.
"If Nathalie doesn't tell her what she did, maybe."
"What did Nat do?" Tina asked and the girl became nervous as she watched her best friend let out a long sigh.
"Her and Momo had sex."
Tina let out a huge gasp which, luckily for her, was drained with the applauses to Kurt and Blaine's performance. The girl was extremely shocked and she wondered what Quinn will do after that information.

A few things already happened during that week. Finn sang Girls Just Wanna Have Fun to Santana, in which got the lgbt trio let out a few tears, and Santana accepted the apology.
Voting day was on at McKinley, with both the school president polls and the Congressional polls taking place in the gym. According to Jacob Ben Israel, Brittany was far ahead of Kurt in the polls, making both him and his sisters sad.
After Nathalie voted for Kurt on the poll and lied to Brittany about her voting choice, the girl was called by Sue Sylvester to her office.
After she got in, Nathalie furrowed her eyebrows as she watched Sue looking at herself in the mirror with a dress and a pair of heels in both of her hands.
"Coach?" Nathalie confusedly asked as she closed the door behind her, "what's going on?"
"Do you think I'm a lesbian?"
Nathalie was taken back by the question and the girl blinked her eyes in confusion, trying to figure out why the older woman was asking her that question.
"Why are you asking that?"
"People have been talking," Sue confessed and threw the heels to the garbage, "just because I have short hair, I'm aggressive and man-ish, wear nothing but track suits, coach a girls' sports team and I'm married to myself."
"I mean," Nathalie shrugged, "you scream stereotypical lesbian," the girl analyzed Sue and the older woman groaned, "but since when you care about what other people think, Coach?"
"Since my opponents have been spreading rumors about me."
"Let me guess," Nathalie rolled her eyes and, after she sat down on a chair in front of Sue, crossed her legs, "Reggie, the asshole, spread those rumors."
Sue only nodded her head and Nathalie groaned in annoyance, completely done with that man. First, he outed Santana, spread Nathalie's sexuality, and now spreading false rumors about Sue.
She sure wanted to slap him.
After a few seconds of silence, Sue had ( in her opinion ) the best idea the debunk those false rumors. She had realized that the only thing she needed was a man to boost her campaign image if she wanted to win the election.
And she had the best choice to mind, football recruiter named Cooter Menkins. The same man that Coach Beiste was falling for.

Quinn had decided that it was time to confront Momo about everything and hoping that Nathalie wouldn't see their conversation.
The blonde easily found the girl by her locker, where Momo was happily looking at her B+ on her mathematics test, also planning on telling Nathalie about her huge achievement.
"You!"
Momo peeked over the locker and saw Quinn giving her a glare, making her extremely confused and pointed a finger at herself, "me?"
"Yes, you! Do you see me talking to someone else?"
"No, that is why I'm confused on why you're talking to me," Momo rolled her eyes, "you hate me, you hate the fact that I'm Nat's close friend, and I heard you've been calling me your rival? That's a little bit immature."
In a blink of an eye, Quinn got extremely angry and pushed Momo into the lockers, causing a loud bang in the hallway but, luckily, no one was there to witness since everyone was in class.
"I saw the little note you sent Lie last year," Quinn revealed and tried to get a reaction from Momo, who stood unfazed about everything.
"Okay? If you're trying to accuse me of trying to take any advantage of Nattie, you're talking to the wrong crowd."
Quinn furrowed her eyebrows, still holding Momo into the lockers, "what is that supposed to mean?"
"That after you shattered Nathalie's heart, I was there for her picking up the pieces," Momo confessed and Quinn's grip on her loosened, making Momo push the other girl away from her, "and you know what sucks? Is that, no matter what I do, she'll always go back to you. Because she fucking loves you and that fucking hurts me. So don't come onto me trying to accuse me of something or forcing me to stay away from her, when deep down we both know that she'll go back to you in a blink of an eye and will definitely not care if you break her heart again."
And with that, Momo walked away with tears in her eyes from a shocking Quinn, who was thinking that she had made a fool of herself of trying to get a girl, that probably didn't stand a chance, away from Nathalie.

Santana had just sent a message to Nathalie to meet at her locker because she had exciting news for her.
Fastening her pace, Nathalie had met with an extremely happy Santana, who gave her a tight hug and huge smile.
"I got your text! What's got you in a good mood?"
"I came out to my parents," Santana revealed and Nathalie looked at her expectantly, waiting for her to continue, "they were cool with it!"
Nathalie gasped in delight and pulled Santana into another hug, "I'm so happy for you! You deserve it!" Natalie squealed and Santana squeezed her arms around the girl that made her question her sexuality, the first girl that she had ever liked.
"Thank you," Santana murmured and Nathalie raised her eyebrow, "for what?"
"For helping me," Santana spoke and held Nathalie's hand, "I know we never got our chance, but I'm glad that I was your first kiss."
"I'm glad you were as well," Nathalie murmured and the two girls stood in the middle of the hallway looking at each other eye-to-eye, completely unaware that Josh Coleman, sophomore rugby
captain, was walking towards their way to have a small talk with both girls.
"I saw the commercial," his voice was heard and both girls abruptly turned around with an unreadable look on their faces, "woo, smoking."
"Who the hell are you?" Santana asked
with her known bitchy tone and Nathalie sighed in annoyance because a jock had the audacity to cut their conversation short.
"Josh Coleman, sophomore rugby captain," he smugly smiled and Nathalie snorted, "what? That same rugby team who keeps loosing? And you really had the audacity to come talk with the co-captain of the cheer squad?"
Maybe he shouldn't have come.
"Girls like you two are a challenge," the boy purposely ignored Nathalie's comment ( wrong move ) and looked at the two girls up and down, "you just need the right guy to straighten you out, and I'm just the man to it."
Both girls looked at each other in pure disgust and Nathalie tried to not lay a punch on the boy's face.
"Move your busted creeper ass," the two girls suddenly heard Mercedes speak in a threatening tone with the rest of the girls standing behind her and glaring holes to the boy.
"Now," Tina ordered and Nathalie swore that she could see fire coming out Tina's eyes.
"Easy, girls. I'm just trying to make them normal," he spoke and Bea almost punched him in the face.
"They are normal," Brittany shrugged and Nathalie gave her a small smile.
"It's not her choice, idiot. But even if it were, you'd be our last choice," Quinn sassed and stood beside Nathalie, wrapping a protective arm around her waist, making Nathalie blush and look down.
"Oh, I get it," he scoffed, "you're all a bunch of lesbos."
Bea rolled her eyes and stepped closer to the boy, making him gulp, "gay, pansexual, bisexual, lesbian, straight, we can be whatever the fuck we want and like whoever we want, and you surely don't have a say in it. So, be a doll and just walk away."

Burt and Kurt were called into the principal's office and Bea and Nathalie were outside of the office as Beiste told Kurt that he had won the election, but by a suspicious margin; there were more votes than there were students and both school faculties asked Kurt if he cheated on the voting process.
Kurt admitted to having thought about cheating but insisted that he wouldn't go through with it.
In the end, Figgins had opened an investigation about the results and, till further decision, his list was suspended.
Burt and Kurt walked out of the office with grim faces, making both sisters worried about what had happened inside of the principal's office.
"My votes were rigged," Kurt explained in a few words what was the meeting about.
Two pairs of eyes widened and Nathalie was the first one to speak, "and they think it was you?"
"I mean, we know you desperately needed this, but we think you wouldn't go this far," Bea also spoke and both girls laid their hands on their brother's shoulder.
"They think I did it," Kurt looked down in defeat and both girls tried to cheer him up with words of encouragement and cheesy jokes.
"Don't worry, kid," Burt spoke and wrapped his arms around his three children, "everything will come clean and everyone will know that you weren't capable of doing such thing."
Kurt smiled and hugged his family as tight as possible, the four of them happy that they got each other's backs no matter what.
But their moment was cut short as Nathalie received a phone call and saw it was Santana, making the girl step back from the grasp to accept the call.
"Tana?" the girls asked and frowned after she heard her best friend cry over the phone, "what's wrong? Why are you crying?"
That question made the three family members look at Nathalie confused as to what was going on.
"I just came out to my abuela."
"And it didn't end well," Nathalie continued the rest of the phrase and heard Santana mumble a yes as she continued crying, "where are you?"
"I'm at home with my mom."
"Can I come over?"
"You don't have to," Santana tried to reassure, "I just needed to hear your voice saying that everything is going to be okay."
"And it's going to be okay," Nathalie reassured and grabbed her backpack, apologizing to her family she desperately had to go, but they understood and let her go, "and now I'm coming over. Whether you like it or not, because my best friend needs me."

Nathalie found herself in the improvised choir room for The Troubletones playing the guitar. After everything that had been going on during that week, she desperately needed a break.
The simple chords could be heard throughout the hallway and Nathalie couldn't care less, because she was so engrossed in strumming the guitar that she didn't even notice Quinn walking in.
"Hey," the blonde girl made her presence known and Nathalie jumped off her seat frightened and put away her guitar.
"Hey! I didn't see you come in," Nathalie apologized and gestured for Quinn to sit beside her, "what's up? If you came here asking for me to come back to the Glee club, I'm sorry but Tina and Bea already tried it."
Quinn could only chuckled and got closer to Nathalie, who didn't step back, making the girl smile, "no, I didn't come here for that. You made your own decision and we've got to accept that. Even though we know we've lost one of the best voices of the club."
"Why do I feel like you're guilt-tripping me?"
"I'm not," Quinn confirmed and Nathalie hummed as she got up from her seat to organize the music sheets that Brittany and Mercedes had used it.
"So why are you here? And what did you say to Momo that made her avoid me like the plague and only text me about her math's grade?"
"How do you know that I talked to Momo?" Quinn shockingly asked as she hoped that no one had told her what the topic of the conversation was about.
Nathalie gave the girl a look, "I have eyes and ears everywhere on this school."
"Right," Quinn dragged the word and sighed after she watched her ex-girlfriend raising an eyebrow, "we talked about you. And I hate that you and Momo are close, I know about the letter, and I know that you and Momo had sex because Bea told Tina and Tina unfortunately let it out. I don't blame you though, because I love you so much and I just want to be with you again."
Deep breaths, Nathalie, deep breaths.
Nathalie looked at her in shock and debated what she should say next. Should she tell Quinn that her and Momo had sex? Should she question her how she discovered the letter?
A lot of thoughts ran through her head and Quinn could see that. But, as minutes painfully passed without Nathalie saying anything, Quinn decided to go big or go home and kiss the girl.
Nathalie gasped but kissed back as she felt the comfort and love behind the kiss.
The two were in their own world, completely forgotten where they were and unaware that someone was watching them, the one and only Momo.
The girl sighed and scoffed at herself about how stupid she was for actually having a small hope that Nathalie would want to be with her. She took a deep breath and suppressed her tears, as she watched Nathalie accepting Quinn of trying to win her over again.
︶ ︶ ︶ ︶ ︶ ︶
It was the last class of the week and everything was seemingly going back to normal.
Nathalie was still part of The Troubletones, her and Quinn were progressively coming back, Tina and Bea were really happy, but Nathalie still can't help but feel guilty about Momo.
The two haven't talked since the two had sex. Since then, Nathalie had been desperately trying to find the girl, but she felt that Momo didn't want to be found.
"Okay guys, Shelby and I wanted to say that you really inspired us," Mr. Schue spoke to both glee clubs and Shelby nodded, "when we face off at Sectionals it will be with more empathy, and a deeper understanding of each other."
Everyone looked at the two teachers pleasingly and clapped their hands for their idea.
"Mr. Schue," Kurt caught the man's attention and raised his hands while standing from his seat, "as the son of Ohio's recently-minted Congressman," the boy smiled after he was interrupted by loud cheers from Nathalie and Bea, and claps from everyone else, "and to dispel any lingering clouds of suspicion, I would like to, personally and publicly, congratulate President Brittany."
After Kurt spoke those words, everyone started clapping again for Brittany, proud of her achievement, even though the two sisters wanted their brother to win.
"The people have spoken, and they want you, Britt. They want Pixy Stix. Rule wisely. Rule fabulously," he spoke as she raised from his seat and hugged him as the rest clapped for them.
"Santana, will you bring us home?" Mr. Schue asked and Santana nodded as she got up from her chair.
"So, I picked a song that gives me strength and gets me through. The same way all of you do," Santana looked over to Nathalie, and the two shared a smile, "the struggle continues, but at least I know I'm not alone."

As the song came to an end and Brittany and Santana were hugging each other, Rachel walked in on the choir room with a defeated look on her face, making both teachers worried.
"Rachel?" Mr. Schue questioned.
"I just, um, told Principal Figgins that I rigged the election so that Kurt would win," Rachel explained and Kurt looked at her with his eyes wide open in shock, "Kurt, please, don't hate me. You're totally in the clear."
"What did he say?" Finn asked.
"He said that he had no choice but to put it on my permanent record, and that I'm suspended for a week," Rachel continued, "also he said that I was banned from competing at Sectionals."
All type of shocking sounds came out of everyone's mouth, except for two people. Nathalie was extremely happy that the girl wasn't going to compete, she even gave a smirk towards Mercedes's way; and Bea, who maybe thought that it was time to shine and get her well-deserved solo.
Bea couldn't help and let out a chuckle, making her colleagues look at her with confusion written down their faces. The girl smiled and, while looking towards Rachel's way, she exclaimed, "my time to shine!"
