Brittany's Point of View

"What's going on? How bad is it?" Mr. Shue asks as he walks into our hotel room

"Her temperature's 101 degrees." Sue says, "Given the fact that Weezy's complaining about an upset stomach, it's either Amazonian dengue fever or the H1N1 super virus."

"Or I have food poisoning." Mercedes says

"We all wanted burritos for lunch, so we went to Chipotle, but Mercedes tried some dive called Señora Salsation." Santana says

"Will, word please," Sue says and the both of them walk out of our hotel room

Tommorow is Nationals and of course something has to go wrong. And this something is Mercedes being sick.

And Coach Sue is only here because if we don't win Nationals then Sue won't be head coach for the Cheerios.

"So here's what's gonna happen," Shue says as they walk back in, "Mercedes, you're on bed rest, Quinn, you're stepping in."

"No, no, no, I can't dance that number. I can't sing it, either, not like..."

"The Trouble Tones need you." Mr. Shue says cutting Quinn off

"And you're better than you think you are." Tina adds in

"Tina, you, too. You're in the Trouble Tones."

"Mr. Shue, this is my last competition and I don't want to miss it." Mercedes says as she sits up

"Amen, to that, sister. That's why I'm putting you on a vitamin B-12 drip." Coach Sue picks up a bucket, "We're flushing your system with Pedialyte, and I'm gonna fill that bathtub with ice and see if we can't get your ambient body temperature back down to normal. Worked in Jacobs Ladder." Sue says before walking back out of the room

"All right, we all have our marching orders." Shue claps his hands together, "Let's do it."

As we're all practicing, the boys get into a huge fight. At first it was just verbal but then it turned into physical.

Mr. Shue walks in and his eyes widen, "Hey, calm down! Hey, hey, calm down!" He gets Sam off of Puck, "Calm down!"

"Fight, fight, fight!" Sugar and Santana chant together

"Hey, cool out!" Shue says to Sam when he again tries to jump on Puck, but Joe holds him back

"He's studying for geography while we're trying to rehearse! It's bogus!" Sam yells

"Cause I already know the dance!" Puck yells back, "You dance like you got caught in bear traps and you're trying to gnaw them off!"

Sam again tries to jump on Puck but Mike and Finn block his way.

"Unique is being handed the key to the city by Rahm Emmanuel." Kurt says and everyone turns their attention to him

"Really?" Mr. Shue asks

I look out the window and remember what happened earlier, "And plus my pillow and blanket fell into the pool. Disaster." Santana walks over to me and looks out the window.

"How did this happen?" She asks and I shrug my shoulders

"Look, I think everybody is just a little tired." Artie says with a tub of popcorn in his lap, "We've been rehearsing for three straight hours."
