Comeback

"Sam, what are you wearing?" asked Juniper as she walked into the choir room with Tina.

"And what did you do with your hair?" asked the goth.

"I'm trying out a new look to impress Quinn," said Sam.

Juniper chuckled a little, shaking her head as she and Tina took a seat. A few moments later, Mr. Schue came in with Sue and said she would be joining them for the week.

"This cannot be happening," said Tina as she and Juniper exchanged a look.

"This seems like a terrible idea," added Artie.

"Guys, it's not up for discussion," said Mr. Schue. "It's no secret that Coach Sylvester has taken her licks."

"I mean, just wanky," said Santana.

"And I believe she could use a little sympathy from us," continued Mr. Schue.

"Sympathy? From us?" asked Mercedes.

"All she's ever done is make our lives miserable," said Quinn.

"She got exactly what she deserved," agreed Santana.

"You're lucky I left my blow gun at home, air bags," said Sue. "Because I got a clear shot at you nonnies."

"Coach Sylvester has had her recent setbacks, but she is a proven champion," said Mr. Schue. "We could do worse than to have that kind of winning record in our mits."

"Let me break it down," said Sue. "I am no longer a threat to you people. I'm just hoping your singing and dancing around will pull me out of my doldrums and give me a reason to live. Is that too much to ask?"

"Yes," mumbled Juniper.

"Guys," said Mr. Schue. "It's settled. Sue's gonna be with us for the week."

Juniper found herself walking down the hall with a little more confidence in the new outfit that she got from Brittany. She spotted Santana at Quinn's locker and headed over to them.

"Oh my god, you guys look amazing," said Juniper.

"So do you," said Santana, giving the girl a wink.

"Seriously, she's a genius and an icon," said the brunette.

"Who is?" asked Rachel with a wide smile as she came up to the three friends.

"Brittany," said Quinn. "Who did you think?"

"Who knew taking off that Cheerios uniform would turn her into a fashion institution," said Santana.

"Is this a joke?" asked Rachel, slightly annoyed.

"No, that sweater is," said Juniper.

"Yeah," agreed Santana. "Who wears a reindeer sweater?"

"Uh, all three of you," scoffed the older brunette.

"No," Juniper shook her head. "This is a carousel horse."

"If you want to know what to wear, just look to Brittany," said Quinn.

"Look," said Rachel. "She stole it from me, okay? I paid her."

"You're a terrible liar, Rachel," said Juniper.

"I can't believe you would take this away from poor Brittany," added Quinn.

"It's sad," Santana shook her head. "You're just sad."

After Finn begging for days, Juniper finally gave in and decided to sing a song for Mr. Schue's "anthem" assignment.
