"Alright." Mr Shue started, writing on the whiteboard in the choir room "Who can tell me who Christopher Cross is?"
"He discovered America." Britany stated bluntly.
"So close, Britt." Maggie gave the girl a thumbs up.
"He did write the iconic chart-topper; sailing." Mr. Shue corrected
"I have a bad feeling about this lesson." Kurt stated, Maggie nodding in agreement.
"I'm bored already" she whispered back, earning a hushed laugh from him.
"Never heard of him, don't wanna hear of him," Tina admitted.
Mr. Shue went on a tangent about this Christopher Cross man, but most of the club wanted nothing to do with it.
"Wait, how can you get caught between the moon and New York City?" Finn asked, "They're like, 100 miles apart."
"Mr. Shue," Kurt interjected before anyone could reply to Finn "If I may, 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." gaining some nods of agreement from the group.
"However," He continued "There is a burgeoning Facebook campaign that has swelled over 5 members. The ardent demand? that 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 approved
"Oh my god, yes, I need to sing 3. I love that song!" Maggie replied, excitedly, as the group erupted in excited chaos.
"Uh, Sorry Kurt, no." Mr. Shue cut off the excited students "I don't think she's a very good role model."
"But we kind of grew up with her" Rachel argued
"She's literally why I wanted to become a performer." Tina added
"I don't wanna do Britney." Britanny interrupted
"Why no Britney, Brittany?" Maggie asked her, confused
"Because my name is also Britney Spears," she said, as the entire club looked at her, confused.
"Oh, what the hell is she talking about?" Mercedes turned to Tina.
"My middle name is Susan. My last name is Pierce." She told them. "That makes me Brittney S. Pierce, Britney Spears."
Quinn looked at the girl like she was insane
"I've lived my entire life in Britney's shadow. I will never be as talented or as famous." She admitted. "I hope that you'll all respect that I want Glee Club to remain a safe space where I, Brittany S. Pierce, can escape the torment from Britney Spears."
"Well, there you have it guys," Mr Shue said, trying to hide the relief on his face "It's been decided. No Britney, sorry."
"Thanks, Britt." Kurt said, angry "Thanks a lot."
"Leave Brittany alone" Santana scolded, as maggie rubbed the girl's shoulder comfortingly.
"Thank you guys for understanding." Brittany looked at the two girls "It's been a hard road."
And with that, maggie pretty much zoned out the rest of the class, having no interest in Michael Bolton.
once practice was over, maggie and Finn headed over to his locker, discussing how lame Mr. Shue was being this week, when they were interrupted by two of McKinley's meanest football players.
Maggie was moved out of the way from behind, as Karofsky shoved Finn away from his locker, grabbing the letterman jacket that he had just hung up.
"Hey! What the hell!" Finn yelled.
