The New Directions had once again climbed to the top of the mountain. Nationals was upon them and it was safe to say things were not going well so far. Mercedes had gotten sick leaving the trouble tones and New Directions down a lead. Mercedes voice is what helped the group stand out. Sure they had Rachel but they needed all the stars they had. Zach was siting next to Mercedes holding her hand as she laid down.

"So here's what's gonna happen: Mercedes, you're on bed rest, Clara, you're stepping in." She said making Clara's eyes widen

"No, I can't sing that number like Mercedes can." Clara said shaking my head. Singing in the background was one thing but taking a lead role last minute sounded insane.

"The Trouble Tones need you."

"And you're better than you think you are." Quinn said giving her reassurance

"Tina, you, too. You're in the Trouble Tones."

"Mr. Shue, this is my last competition. I don't want to miss it." Mercedes frowned

"Amen, to that, sister. That's why I'm putting you on a vitamin B-12 drip. We're flushing your system with Pedialyte, and I'm gonna fill that bathtub with ice and see if we can't get
your ambient body temperature back down to normal Worked in Jacob's Ladder."

"All right, we all have our marching orders. Let's do it."

Clara walked out of the room and saw Sam was waiting for her. He saw she was nervous so he pulled her in for a hug.

"You ok?" He asked as he kissed the top of her forehead.

"If Mercedes doesn't feel better I have to take her place."

"And you're freaking out because you don't want that." Sam said knowing Clara was not a fan of the spotlight.

"I can't do the perform I mean what if we don't win? And then they all hate me cause of it and I don't want to let them down, especially Finn and you plus-" Clara was cut off by Sam who gave her a kiss. Sometimes when she freaked out Sam would kiss her because that made her feel better.
