Ever since Rachel had quit the glee club, Quinn had become the lead vocalist alongside Finn. Raven was proud of her friend, but she was also upset that Mr. Schuester hadn't given anyone else a chance. They were all very talented singers and yet he had picked Quinn. Plus Quinn consistently had to run out of class due to her morning sickness, or rather all day sickness.

And today, was not an exception.They had barely gotten into the song when Quinn covered her mouth with her hand and ran out of the classroom, the door clicking behind her.

Raven glared at Finn in an effort to get him to take some responsibility.

"Um. She had a bad breakfast burrito." Finn stammered.

Raven rolled her eyes. Like Quinn would eat a breakfast burrito. Really?

"Can we please talk about the giant elephant in the room?" Kurt asked, his hands on his hips.

Santana smirked, "Your sexuality?"

Kurt sighed, "Rachel. We can't do it without her."

"That's not true. We may have to layer Santana and Mercedes over Quinn's solo but we'll be fine." Mr. Schuester nodded.

"Maybe for the invitationals, but not for sectionals." Artie commented, "And certainly not for regionals."

"The wheelchair kids right. That Rachel chick makes me want to light myself on fire, but she can sing." Puck stepped in.

Raven crossed her arms, "Quinn can do it. She just needs practice."

Half of the glee club rolled their eyes at her. Raven knew that the other kids were right. Rachel was so talented and they really needed her in their group if they wanted to win, but she was gone and they had to make do with the options they had. Plus, Raven knew Quinn would have murdered her, if she hadn't stood up for her best friend.

"Rachel left guys." Mr. Schuester sighed, "She's gone. Now, if we're going to make this thing work, we can't look back. Alright. Take five guys."

Raven ran a hand through her hair as Santana came up to her, "Good job, Raven."

"What are you talking about Santana?" Raven sighed.

"Defending Quinn? We're one step closer to disbanding the glee club." Santana smirked, "So thanks."

As Santana walked away, Raven let out an audible groan. With all this Quinn stress, she had completely forgotten about the deal they had made with Sue Sylvester.

A couple days later, Mr. Schuester had brought in a 'special guest' to join them in glee club.
