21, Funk.

GIVE UP THE FUNK!

"YOU GUYS HAVE TO come to the auditorium - it's an emergency." Rachel said to Tatiana, Edward, Everleigh and Alex. The quartet all shared a confused look before following after Rachel and walking into the auditorium. Everyone else was already there. Tatiana sat herself next Santana as she watched a familiar, Prince Charming from Shrek looking-boy step forward.

"Jesse?" Rachel asked. "What are you doing up there with them?"

"I've transferred back to Carmel High, Rachel." He replied. "I'm sorry that it's come to this, but you guys were awful to me. You never accepted me, you never listened to my clearly superior ideas."

"Why are you here in our auditorium?" Finn wondered and Tatiana glared at Vocal Adrenaline - more specifically, Jesse St. Jerkface.

"The blogs and the chat rooms say that we're finished, and that you guys are ripe to topple us. We just want to show you a little something that we came up with a few days ago to see if you agree with that assessment." And then, Jesse began moving into his space.

"Wait." Tatiana said making everyone turn to face her. She jumped down and made her way to stand next to Rachel. "First of all, me and Santana called it. Second of all, you're a di -!"

Rachel's hand flew to Tatiana's mouth, and the Latina narrowed her eyes at the short brunette. As VA preformed, Rachel removed her hand and the two of them walked back to the others as Tatiana sang along to the song.

"Thanks for letting us borrow your auditorium, guys." The girl partnered with ( Giselle ) Jesse said. "It's quaint." VA laughed and Jesse smirked, turning his head to the side to look at Rachel. He sighed.

"Dickhead." Tatiana mumbled as Jesse walked off, following VA. Matt looked at her, and a small smile formed on his lips.

...

"IT'S A CARMEL HIGH TRADITION." Artie explained as Tatiana walked with her arm over Rachel's shoulder. "They psych out the competition a few weeks before the big show. They call it a funkification. Meaning they show us what they've got, and we spiral into a deep black funk."

"Yeah." Finn shrugged. "Yeah, we used to do the same to other football teams. You know, try and get inside their head before a big game, pull little pranks to intimidate them."

"Yeah, well, the difference was our football team sucked." Puck stated. "Those guys are golden."

"Come on, keep your heads up, guys." Kurt commented. "It's going to take more than that to get us into a funk."

Tatiana's jaw dropped as she stared at their tp'd choir room. "We have to clean that?" Edward said. "That's bullshit." He frowned.

Tatiana agreed. They didn't make the mess; they shouldn't clean it. Simple. "Let's just start cleaning." Everleigh said to her crush, rolling her eyes slightly. Edward smiled at her.
