[OPEN: INT. TEACHER'S LOUNGE. EMMA sits at a table. WILL places two tickets to Sectionals on in front of her]
EMMA: House seats to Sectionals?
WILL: Those things are hard to come by. Scalpers are getting like, five bucks for 'em. I, however, as coach of one of the competing teams, get two, and I would be honored if you would be my plus one. I mean, you being at Sectionals is kind of a good luck charm for us.
EMMA: I would love to.
WILL: I mean not that we're gonna need any talismans. I have a killer set list planned. First-
EMMA: Hm, lemme guess. Stasia sings an amazingly beautiful and heart filled, original solo.
Stasia smiled to herself at the complement.
EMMA: Finn and Rachel are gonna do a ballad, right? Followed by the kids joining in with a classic rock number, where Mercedes will belt out the last jaw-dropping note.
WILL: H-Have you been going through my desk?
"Okay, that's just sad." Everyone said, shaking their heads at the man.
EMMA: It's what you always do.
WILL: Every team tries to showcase their strongest players
EMMA: Look, just seeing your kids do their Rocky Horror and Carrie things; it really reminded me of how much talent you've got in Glee Club. Quinn has a beautiful voice, and Mike Chang has dance moves that are to die for. Look, I'm sure that you know what you're doing, I'm not saying that. Everyone has picked you as favorites for Sectionals; you won your Sectional last year. It's just, I don't know, you guys used to be the underdogs, now you're a real team which is wonderful. You're a constellation of stars. I would just hate to think that you might be ignoring some of them, because they don't burn quite as obviously bright.
"Which he was doing." Stasia nodded.
"Oh, be quiet, you still got your solo, even though my ballad was taken from me." Rachel said, sending her sister a glare.
"Maybe that's because I was still a winner of the comp that led to everyone being picked for what to do! I wanted Quinn to do the solo and me and Sam would have done the song we did for the competition, but Quinn thought she'd be too nervous to do it alone and wanted to partner with Sam, who she loved and wanted to sing with despite her nerves. And I like singing, I'm better at you at it, and I always do original songs, instead of someone else. (I like, I know) So instead of pouting, just be happy for everyone. Like a normal friend would be!" Stasia snapped at her twin who went silent. But a glare still on her face none the less.
[WILL looks away thoughtfully.]
EMMA: I've said too much.
WILL: No, you said just enough.
[CUT TO: INT. CHOIR ROOM. WILL enters. RACHEL stands up.]
RACHEL: Mr. Schuester, I have an announcement. I've selected the perfect moving ballad for Finn and I to sing to launch our performance at Sectionals.
[Everyone rolls their eyes.]
WILL: Me first. Two things. First, our competition at Sectionals are your classic stool choirs. Great voices, but they don't move. Now if we're gonna beat them, we need to do what they can't. Dance. Which is why I've decided to feature Brittany and Mike Chang's sweet moves in our performance.
RACHEL: Wait, they're gonna dance in front of me while I sing my balled?
WILL: You're not getting a balled for this competition Rachel or a solo.
