"5, 6, 7, 8" 

Madeleine was immediately more happy than she has been all week since Santana has joined back into Glee Club. 

Mercedes shows up late and when Mike and Maddie attempt to catch her up on the steps she missed, she rushes to the trashcan and kneels over retching. 

"Mr Schue I barely have anytime between rehearsals, class and booty camp. When else am I supposed to eat?" Mercedes groans. 

"When the rest of us do?" Santana sasses, Madeleine nods her head standing next to her.

"Oh like either of you eat." Mercedes snaps. 

Madeleine looks at Santana who's face dropped, she places her hand on her arm. 

"Enough, sectionals are coming up and if we don't give it our all-" Schue warns.

"I need you all to be doing more than your best." 

Brittany drags Santana and Madeleine away to find Kurt in the hallways, they find both Rachel and Kurt at his locker. 

"I tweeted about Britt's pep rally in the gym and we are all showing up to support girl power. Won't look great on your NYADA applications if you aren't supporting girls." Madeleine says as a matter of factly. 

(Madeleine sings with Santana and then dances alongside Britt)

As Madeleine sat in class, she closed her eyes and drifted off for a moment, she snapped back to reality when awful memories of Prom darkened her mind, she stood up flustered and grabbed a hall pass from her Math teacher without another word, she wandered around school until she reached the dance studio. She placed her bag down and turned on the CD player, the moment she started to dance her thoughts lightened like clockwork, after a few moments she sensed someone watching. When she turned and stopped, she smiled when she saw Mike leaned up against the door. 

"Are you going to stand there like a creepy perv or will you dance with me?" Madeleine says with a smile. 

Mike unbuttoned his shirt revealing his tank top, he accepts Madeleine's outstretched hand and he spins her into her making her laugh. She flicks through the CD and finds a song that they had a duet choreographed for. 

(This is how I imagined the dance) 

They weren't dancing romantically, Madeleine felt a different type of feeling when she danced with Mike- it was like somehow, dancing with him pushed out all of her dark thoughts and issues and helped her see light, she knew there was something up with him and she wanted to get to the bottom of it. Everyone always tried to help her, yet she felt helpless towards everyone else's problems. 

After they danced, the two sat together in front of the mirror stretching, she looked over at his sad face. 

"Mike, something is up. You are my best friend- half the time you and our dancing is the only thing keeping me sane. Just talk to me." Madeleine whispers. 

"I want to dance. I don't want to go to fucking medical or law school, nobody in my family seems to understand that." Mike spits angrily. 

"Your parents can't force you to do anything, Mike- if this is something you want to do, don't let them stop you. I want to go to New York- and you are welcome to join me." Madeleine says with a smile.

"What do you want to do Mads?" He asks quietly. 

Madeleine fidgets with her hands. 

"I'll do what Charl did, get a cheerleading scholarship and then maybe get a job with fashion or something? Or just a regular 9-5 in a office-" Maddie starts.

"I'm gonna stop you right there. No bullshitting, what do you want to do." He asks firmly. 

"I want to dance... I was looking at Juilliard. Dance and music just make me so happy- but I need a firm career. I can't risk not getting anywhere dancing." Maddie admits. 

"Madeleine, you know I don't sugarcoat things, you are an insane dancer- better than me and I hate admitting that. If you believe in yourself- you will shine in any dancing career. If I'm going to go behind my parents backs... you are going to apply to Juilliard. Got it?"
 Mike says holding out his hand, Maddie smirks and shakes it. 

--

"Maddie! Tommy! Please, please please let me come to your booty camp!" Isabel begs in the hallway. 

"Izzie- it's boring. Just watching everyone fail at dancing." Maddie replies. 

"I want dance with them! Please Maddie." Isabel pouts. 

Her older sister rolls her eyes and drags her by the collar of her Cheerios uniform to the Auditorium. 

"Hope you don't mind Mr Schue, yet again on babysitting duties." Madeleine says smirking at her little sisters scowl. 

"No issue at all!" He says happily. 

Isabel bounces over to Kurt and Finn. Maddie and Tom wander over to Quinn and Santana. 

"Hey twinnies." Quinn says sweetly. 

"Okay guys! Before we dive in." Schue starts and Madeleine hops over to him and Mike. 

"Mike, Mads and I just wanted to say how impressed we are with everyone's progress- so! Your homework assignment was the widow-maker, now when you get it right we will tap you out." Schue explains, his head pops up when he notices a small arms raised. 

"Yes Isabel, you can join. Do you know the step?" He stops himself when Isabel raises her eyebrows. 

"Forget I asked." He says with a laugh. 

Madeleine skips over to Santana as they start to dance and she taps her on the ass making the Latina smirk. She then walks over to Isabel and pokes her in the stomach making her kneel over giggling. The sisters then make their way over to their brother who was getting annoyed as he was clearly doing it right yet neither of the two tapped him out. He let out a groan and Maddie laughed. 

"No need for the attitude. Keep going until it is under Izzie and I's standard." 

Santana, Brittany and Quinn giggle at the siblings banter until eventually the sisters kick their brother up the ass to tap him out, he shoots them a glare and playfully chases both of them around the stage. He scoops up Isabel and drapes her over his shoulder, the two target Madeleine and tickle her until the girl backs up into Santana's arms squealing. Santana laughs adorably into her ear and wraps her arms around her waist. 

The sweet moment is torn away when both Mercedes and Schue start to yell at each other, since the attention was far off the two girls standing extremely close. Santana took the opportunity to hold her best friend closer and place a kiss on her bare shoulder. Her hands secretly roaming the bare part of the girls lower back.

"I'm done! I've outgrown you! All of you!" Mercedes yells. 

"Mercedes! You walk out that door and you are out of Glee Club!" Mr Schue's yell is smothered by the loud slam of the auditorium door. 

Madeleine's eyes spin to find Kurt's and the two stare at each other softly, it was always those three in Glee- even when Kurt had Blaine or Rachel and Maddie had the Cheerios... they were always there together in Glee.

Now what...

Thoughts??
Do we like Maddie and Mike's FRIENDship? (Promise no relationship)
Will Madeleine apply to Juilliard or play it safe? 
She's kept quiet about Dallas... will it change?
