Funk

The New Directions were all in the auditorium after receiving an emergency text saying to meet there. Up on stage with Vocal Adrenaline was none other than their ringleader, Jesse St. James.

Jayden crossed her arms over her chest, shooting daggers into the older boy's head. She knew something was suspicious when he joined the club, and she had a gut feeling that he was just playing her sister the entire time.

"Jesse? What are you doing up there with them?" Rachel asked, her voice filled with disappointment and betrayal.

"I've transferred back to Carmel High."

"You bitch!" Jayden yelled as she made a move to run up to the stage to give him a piece of her mind, only for Santana to hold her back.

"Little Gup, chill out," the Latina said as Jayden thrashed in her arms.

"Let me go!" the tiny cheerleader grunted as she tried to break free. "He can't just hurt my sister and get away with it!"

"You're like 4 foot 11, what could you possibly do to hurt him?" Santana scoffed.

"I'm tiny and mighty, lemme at him!"

"Jayden, you little shit, calm the fuck down!" the older girl snapped.

Jayden instantly stopped moving, eyes filling with tears as she turned to look up at Santana, who's expression softened.

"I'm sorry," Santana said softly. "I shouldn't have yelled at you."

"And you wonder why I like Brittany more," Jayden mumbled as she shuffled closer to the blonde, who wrapped a protective arm around her.

"I'm sorry that it's come to this, but you guys were awful to me," said Jesse. "You never accepted me. You never listened to my clearly superior ideas."

"Why here in our auditorium?" Finn asked.

"Blogs and chat rooms say we're finished and that you are ripe to topple us. We just wanted to show you something that we came up with a few days ago to see if you agree with that assessment."

Music started, and Vocal Adrenaline performed Another One Bites The Dust by Queen. They were really good. There was no way that the New Directions would be able to compete with them, especially since Jesse broke Rachel's heart just weeks before the competition.

If their star performer was down, then they were screwed.

Not only did Vocal Adrenaline psyche them out with their number, but they took it one step forward and TP'd the choir room.

"I feel so violated," said Tina. "It's like someone broke into our home."

"I feel lousy," Jayden mumbled as she buried herself in a pile of toilet paper. "I'm waving a white flag. I surrender. I can't do this anymore. Leave me here to die."

"No, Guppy," Brittany frowned as she kneeled down next to the younger girl and took the wad of toilet paper off of her. "No dying. I want my happy unicorn back."

"Sorry, Brittsy," Jayden pouted as she sat up.

"You don't have anything to apologize for," Brittany said as she helped the small Cheerio up off the floor.

"Look, it was just a lame little prank," said Mr. Schue. "And the fact that they're trying to get to us means we've got them spooked."

"No, Mr. Schue," Mercedes said as she stuffed a pile of toilet paper into the trash can. "They aren't afraid of anything. That number they did was fantastic."
