We were in the choir room. All of us. New Directions and Trouble Tones.
(Mercedes) "Can someone tell us what's going on, please?"
(Finn) "This week, the Trouble Tones and New Directions will both be singing music created - by ladies and for ladies."
(Santana) "Oh, hell no."
(Finn) "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."
(Santana) "Worry about yourself, fetus face."
(Finn) "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."
(Santana) "So, wait, I don't even get a say in this? Not cool."
(Finn) "Everybody in this room knows about you and Brittany. 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 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. Blaine? Kurt?
(Blaine) "Santana, Kurt and I have a song we like to sing to each other in the car. And we want to sing that for you right now."
(Santana) "While there's nothing I'd love more than having two Pretty Ponies serenade me, I think we'd get further staging a "gel-ervention" for Blaine than singing lady music."
(Kurt) "I know it's hard. It was hard for me, too. But you can get through this."
(Blaine) "If you could just stop being so defensive."
(Santana) "I'm trying, but your hideous bow ties are provoking me."
(Puck) "Wait, are we talking lady on lady or girl on girl? 'Cause there's a big difference."
(Mia) "Seriously Puck?"
(Mr. Shue) "Puck, focus, okay? Kurt, Blaine, why don't you kick us off with what you got?"
Kurt:
"Made a wrong turn once or twice
Dug my way out, blood and fire
Bad decisions, that's alright
Welcome to my silly life
Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood
Miss "No way it's all good"
It didn't slow me down
Mistaken, always second guessin'
Underestimated
Look, I'm still around"
Blaine and Kurt:
"Pretty pretty please, don't you ever ever feel
Like you're less than, less than perfect
Oh, pretty pretty please, don't you ever ever feel
Like you're less than, less than perfect
Pretty pretty please, if you ever ever feel like you're nothing
You are perfect
The whole world's scared, so I swallow the fear
The only thing I should be drinking is an ice cold beer
So cool in line, and we try try try
But we try too hard, and it's a waste of my time
Done looking for the critics, 'cause they're everywhere
They don't like my jeans, they don't get my hair
Strange ourselves, and we do it all the time
Why do we do that?
Why do I do that?
Why do I do that?
Yeah, ohh...
Oh pretty, pretty please
Pretty pretty please, don't you ever ever feel
Like you're less than, less than perfect
Pretty pretty please, if you ever ever feel like you're nothing
You are perfect to me
Pretty pretty please, don't you ever ever feel
Like you're less than, less than perfect
You're perfect
You're perfect to me
Pretty pretty please, don't you ever ever feel like you're nothing
You are perfect to me"
(Santana) "Thank you, guys. Thank you, Finn, especially. You know, with all the horrible crap I've been through in my life now I get to add that."

I was at Dalton Academy. Sebastian wanted me to meet him there. I was waiting outside and I suddenly see Sebastian walked through the front doors. He came over to me and grabbed my hand and led me inside. We walked for a bit. We didn't talk. We finally entered their choir room. Sebastian led me to the couch and I sat down and he sat next to me.
(Sebastian) "Sorry that I have been quite."
(Mia) "It's ok. What's up?"
(Sebastian) "I wanted to sing something to you."
(Mia) "Ok"
Sebastian presses play on a cd player and begins to sing.
Sebastian:
"Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt, suddenly goes away somehow"
Sebastian walks up to me and grabs me by the hand and brings me close to him
Sebastian:
"One step closer
Mia:
"I have died everyday, waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more."
Sebastian:
"Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything, take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath, every hour has come to this."
Mia:
"One step closer"
Sebastian:
"I have died everyday, waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more"
Mia and Sebastian:
"And all along I believed, I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me, I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more."
Mia:
"One step closer
One step closer"
Mia and Sebastian:
"I have died everyday, waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more."
Sebastian:
"And all along I believed, I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me, I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more."
He was holding both of my hands and I was resting my forehead on his. It was beautiful. I felt tears fill up in my eyes
(Sebastian) "I love you Mia Anderson."
(Mia) "I love you too Sebastian Smythe."
><
I was with Santana at her locker. The commercial that outed her came out last night. It was the best time to let her be alone. I thought so anyway. Good idea I decided to stay with her because some jock just came up to us.
(Random Jock) "Saw the commercial. Whew. Smokin'."
(Santana) "Who the hell are you?"
(Randome Jock) "Josh Comen. Sophomore rugby captain. Girls like you are a challenge. You just need the right guy to straighten you out, and I'm just the man to do it."
(Mia) "Get the hell away from her."
The New Directions and Trouble Tones girls walk up to us and see Josh.
(Mercedes) "Move your busted creeper ass. Now."
(Josh) "Easy, girls. I'm just trying to make her normal."
(Brittany) "She is normal."
(Quinn) "It's not a choice, idiot. But even if it were, you'd be our last choice."
(Josh) "Oh, I get it. You're all a bunch of lesbos.
(Mia) "So what if we are? You don't stand a chance either way."
(Sugar) "Bye-bye."
(Rachel) "Walk away."
Being the gleeks we are, we started to sing.
Santana (Mia):
"This was never the way I planned
(Not my intention)
I got so brave, drink in hand
(Lost my discretion)
It's not what
(I'm used to)
Just wanna try you on
(I'm curious for you)"
Mia and Santana:
"Caught my attention"
Mia and Santana with the Girls:
"I kissed a girl and I liked it
(Santana: The taste of her cherry chapstick)
I kissed a girl just to try it
(Mia: I hope my boyfriend don't mind it)"
Girls:
"It felt so wrong, it felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it"
Mia (Santana):
"No I don't even know your name
(It doesn't matter)
You're my experimental game
(Just human nature)
It's not what good girls do
(Not how they should behave)
My head gets so confused"
Mia and Santana:
"Hard to obey"
Mia and Santana with the Girls:
"I kissed a girl and I liked it
(Santana: The taste of her cherry chapstick)
I kissed a girl just to try it
(Mia: I hope my boyfriend don't mind it)
It felt so wrong; it felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl, and I liked it
I liked it
Us girls we are so magical
Soft skin, red lips, so kissable
Hard to resist, so touchable
Too good to deny it
Ain't no big deal"
Santana:
"It's innocent"
Mia and Santana with the Girls:
"I kissed a girl and I liked it
(Santana: The taste of her cherry chapstick)
I kissed a girl just to try it
(Mia: I hope my boyfriend don't mind it)
It felt so wrong; it felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl, and I liked it
I liked it"
We ended up in the choir room at the end of the song.
(Santana) "Okay, okay. Update, y'all. Um, I told my parents last night, and they were actually okay with it."
(Mia) "No way!"
(Santana) "I just have to tell my Abuela before she sees that stupid commercial. But luckily she only watches Univision."
Suddenly Principle Figgins came in.
(Figgins) "Excuse me, New Directions! and Trouble Tones singing groups. Mr. Kurt Hummel, I need to see you in my office immediately."
Kurt left the room and we were left confused.
I was with Rachel, Finn and Kurt near Rachel's locker.
(Kurt) "Someone stuffed the ballot boxes. They think I did it. If they can prove it, I could be suspended."
(Mia) "Oh, my God, Kurt."
(Kurt) "And I lost. I lost the election. I lost the lead in West Side Story. I can forget about New York and NYADA, 'cause they'll never take me now. You know, the worst part is that I really, for a second, thought I won."
(Rachel) "Kurt, I'm-I'm so sorry."
(Kurt) "I have to find Blaine."
Kurt ran off crying looking for Blaine.
(Finn) "Rachel, I want you to know, I didn't do this."
(Rachel) "I did it."
(Finn) "What?"
(Mia) "What were you thinking?"
(Rachel) "I-I-I I wasn't thinking. I-I just I wanted to help him so bad."
(Finn) "You have to go tell Figgins."
(Rachel) "I can't, I'll get suspended.
Finn walked away from Rachel annoyed. I don't blame him. I was annoyed at her as well.
(Mia) "Rachel, Kurt'll get suspended."
I walked away from her annoyed. I couldn't look at her anymore.
><
It was a couple of days later and we were all in the choir room.
(Mr Shue) "Okay, guys. Shelby and I just wanted to say that you've really inspired us. When we face off at Sectionals, it will be with more empathy, and a deeper understanding of each other. Where's Rachel? She never misses applause."
(Mia) "She's dealing with stuff."
(Kurt) "Mr. Shue?"
(Mr Shue) Yeah. As the son of Ohio's recently-minted Congressman."
(Mia) "Yeah, Burt!"
(Kurt) "And to dispel any lingering clouds of suspicion, I would like to, personally and publicly, congratulate President Brittany. The people have spoken, and they want you, Brit. They want Pixy Stix. Rule wisely. Rule fabulously."
(Brittany) "That was the sweetest thing anybody's ever said to me. Ooh! Thank you, Kurt. You're still the most unicorn of them all, so Clap, clap, clap.
(Kurt) "Maybe I could put that on my NYADA application."
Kurt comes back and sits next to me.
(Mia) "Don't give up hope, ever. We'll figure something out."
(Mr Shue) "Santana, will you bring us home?"
Santana goes up to the front and smiles.
(Santana) "Thanks, Mr. Shue. So I picked a song that gives me strength and gets me through. Same way all of you do. The struggle continues, but at least I know I'm not alone."
Santana (with Mia):
"Even through the darkest phase
Be it thick or thin
Always someone marches brave
Here beneath my skin
And constant craving (Constant craving)
Has always been (Always been)"
Mia:
"Maybe a great magnet pulls
All souls towards truth
Or maybe it is life itself
Feeds wisdom to its youth"
Santana and Mia (with New Directions):
"Constant craving (Constant craving)
Has always been (Always been)"
Santana and Mia:
"Craving
Ah-ha
Constant craving
Has always been
Has always been"
Santana and Mia (with New Directions):
"Constant craving (Constant craving)
Has always been (Always been)"
Kurt and Santana (Mia):
"Has always been (Always been)"
Kurt (Santana and Mia):
"Has always been (Always been)"
Kurt and Santana (Mia)
"Has always been (Has always been)"
Kurt, Santana, and Mia:
"Has always been
Has always been"
Rachel walked through the door at the end of the song. She looked like she had just been crying.
(Mr Shue) "Rachel?"
(Rachel) "I just, um, told Principal Figgins that I rigged the election so that Kurt would win. Kurt, please, don't hate me. You're totally in the clear."
(Mia) "What did he say?"
(Rachel) "He said that he had no choice but to put it on my permanent record, and that I'm suspended for a week. Also he said that I was banned from competing at Sectionals."
Shook.
