Mr. Shue was starting glee club off with Christopher Cross, whom none of them had heard of. "Alright, who can tell me who Christopher Cross is?" Mr. Shue asked at the front of the room. "He discovered America," Brittany said confidently, raising her hand. Venus leans down and pats Brittany's shoulder. "So close, Brittany. Good job," she says, whispering. Brittany looks back at Venus and smiles at her, raising her hand for a high-five, which she gladly accepts. As Mr. Shue was droning on about Christopher Cross, Venus spaced out and rested her head on the person beside her. Mike.
He looks down at her and smiles. As Mr. Shue passes out the music, Mike gently shakes her awake. She wakes up and grabs the paper she's given. She looks down at the music sheet in confusion. She looks up at Mike to see if he knows what's going on. Mike feels her starting and turns to look at her and sees her confusion. He doesn't know either, so he shrugs.
"Mr. Shue, if I may?" Kurt says, with a raised hand. "I think I speak for all of us when I say it's not that we don't love the idea of spending a week on this silky smooth Adult Contemporary. It's just that, as teens, this isn't the easiest music for us to relate to. However... there is a burgeoning Facebook campaign that has swelled to over five members. The ardent demand? This week, at the fall homecoming assembly, the McKinley High School Glee Club performs a number by... wait for it... Ms. Britney Spears."
" Yo Spears is fierce, yo," Artie says. Venus drums her hands on Artie's shoulders in agreement. He looks back and up at her with a smile, then turns back to Mr. Shue. Mr. Shue obviously disagrees because... well, he's boring. Why else? However, shockingly, Brittany also disagrees.
"Why no Britney, Brittany?" Kurt asks. "Because my name is also Brittany Spears." Everyone, in unison, turns to look at Brittany in confusion. "What?" Mr. Shue asks. "What the hell is she talking about?" Mercedes questions them as if they know. Venus just shrugs in confusion. "My middle name is Susan, my last name is Pierce. That makes me Brittany S. Pierces. 'Britney Spierce.'" Brittany explains. 'Oh, that makes more sense,' Venus thought.
"I lived my entire life in Britney Spears's shadow. I will never be as talented or as famous. I hope you'll all respect... that I want Glee Club to be a place where I, Brittany S. Pierce, can escape the torment of Britney Spears." Brittany continues. 'Poor Brittany' Venus thinks. "Well," Mr. Shue says, with the papers still in his hand. "There you have it, guys. It's been decided... No Britney. Sorry." Mr. Shue says smugly. 'Ooh, if I could just smack that look off his face!' Venus thought angrily. She pouts and leans back in her chair, crossing her arms.
Everyone starts to attack Brittany, and it makes Venus mad. "Hey! Stop picking on her. It's not her fault. He's the one picking the music. It was his choice," Venus says, pointing at Mr. Shue. They all backed off from Brittany after that. Brittany turns to her, "Thank you for understanding. It's been a hard road." Venus points at her with finger guns and gives a nod with a smile.

Venus was sitting by Puck on the second row with her hand in his, facing him, telling him another planet fact. He had seen that she was looking down and asked why, asking if he had to beat anyone up. She told him that she had seen Karofsky and Azimio earlier tearing Finn's letterman jacket and she felt bad for him. Knowing that Venus loved talking about planet facts, he asked her to tell him one. She asked which one he wanted to know and he chose Mars. "To the ancient Romans, the planet Mars was a symbol of blood and war, so they named it after the god Mars, god of war." She explains to him with a bright smile, and him listening closely, actually interested in what she has to say. He looks at her with a soft smile, happy to be the one to make her happy.
When she was going to say something else, someone walked into the choir room. She turns to look at who it was when Puck saw her eyes widening. She looks at him and hits his arm. "It Uncle Jesse!" She whispers to him. If he didn't go to her house once a week for a full house marathon, he wouldn't know what she was talking about, but he did. He looks at the man, introduced as Carl, with awe. He looks back at her with a nod. "He does, but his awesome hair is gone."
She starts wiggling in her seat when he starts talking, explaining why he's here. When he hands her a capsule, she blurts out, 'Have mercy,' earning weird looks from everyone, except Puck. Carl, having guessed what she was talking about, winks at her. Jaw dropped, she looks at Puck, shaking him, "Uncle Jesse winked at me!" she squeaks.
Smiling at her, Puck shoves his capsule in her mouth, "Chew," He states. She looks up at him and chews, then smiles a perfect white smile. She takes her capsule and tells him to open wide, squinting her eyes and holding her hand out in a pretend flashlight, she examines his mouth, pretending to be a dentist. "Yep," she nods to herself, "All good," then puts the capsule in his mouth, "Chew." He does as he's told and smiles at her with white teeth.
She pats his jaw, "Good job! Perfect smile," She says while pulling out her hand again, pretending there's a sucker there. "I don't have sour apple-" Which is his favorite flavor, "- but, I do have blue raspberry." She says waving the imaginary sucker. Puck reaches his hand out, and takes the imaginary sucker and pretends to put it in his mouth. "Gross," She says, giggling. "What?" he asks questionly. "You forgot to take the wrapper off!" she laughs out. "Oh, oops," he says while shrugging.
**************************************************************************************************
"Santana, Venus, I'm looking at your charts and X-rays. Your teeth are perfect." Uncle Jesse looks over to Venus and Santana. "I know," Santana says. "Well then I can't put you guys under." He says. "Oh that's fine, I don't want to be put under, I just came because I was bored. And for Brittany." Venus says. "Well I do" Santana puts the attention back on her. Venus doesn't listen, she just stares at Carl. Until both Santana and Brittany were under, Venus finally talks again. "So, Uncle Jesse, is it okay that I'm back here?" She asks, tilting her head, which reminds her of Sam from the week before, causing her to blush. She shakes her head a little bit and focuses back onto the Jesse lookalike.
He looks at her with a raised eyebrow, "Is that my name now?" He asks. "Maybe,"
She says, shrugging her shoulders. "Um- yeah. you can stay back here." He says, getting back into cleaning Brittanys teeth.
"Do you have suckers?" She asks after a beat of silence. He doesn't look up when he answers, "Um- yeah, first drawer." She gets up from her seat and goes to the drawer. "Ooh! Stickers!" She looks through the different stickers and finds a stitch sticker, grabbing it. She looks around before she finds a R2D2 sticker, grabbing it for Artie. She takes a lemon-lime for herself and a sour apple for Puck.
**************************************************************************************************
Mr. Shue, noticing the confidence and different sense of style, decided to finally do Britney, much to the joy of the glee club. He decided to do 'Toxic' for the assembly, which led to a sex riot.
After everything calmed down and Venus was at her locker, she felt a hand on her shoulder, causing her to jump and spin around quickly. Seeing that it was only Sam, she relaxed, automatically comfortable in his presence. "Hey Sam-I-Am!" She says with a smile.
He returns the smile, "Hey V. I- um- liked your performance." He stuttered out. She looks up at him with an eyebrow raised. "Really?"
He gets more confidence. "Yep, except for the riot. I almost got run over." He says, shivering from the memory. Venus laughs at that. "Um, what are you doing tonight?" Sam asks her. She puts her finger on her chin, pretending to be in thought. After a while of just standing there and not answering, Sam gets nervous and was going to take it back. Seeing this, Venus finally answers, "Nothing, why?" She answers, already knowing why. "Um, do you maybe want to do something? Together?" He asks shyly, looking away from her. "Sure, what time?" He looks back to her, confused? "You don't want to know where we're going?" He asks
"Nope, I want it to be a surprise. I'll even bring a blindfold, so I only know when we get there."
