It's Called Being Sassy

Back in Action

The glee club is unsure if they have rehearsals today. As far as they know, Marcy's still recuperating in the hospital.

She is not...

They gasp as she steps from behind the curtain. "Marcy?!"

She waves them to sit when they all jump up. She waits for them to quiet down as she presses her index finger to her mouth.

They finally quiet.

"As you can see, my family is in the audience with you." Her voice is quieter than usual and is feather light. "They will not be performing today."

"Are we?" Rachel asks.

"No. This will be your last break until Nationals is won."

"We're getting a break?" Sam is so happy.

"Yes. I don't count yesterday because staying in a hospital waiting room all evening sucks so today is it. Mostly."

"Mostly?" Mike is suspicious.

"Yes. There will be performances but after every five, we will be watching tapes of past Nationals winners and losers."

"Who's performing?" Finn is confused about that part.

"I am."

"Marcy, you're sick." Mr. Shue protests.

"I'll be fine. I already missed classes and cheer but I can perform for an hour and shout at soccer practice. It's just a little bit then I'll rest for the rest of the weekend."

"Are you sure?" Coach Sylvester doesn't want to push it. She'd never seen anyone have an allergic reaction before and she's honestly quite rattled.

Marcy nods. "Just sit back and relax."

The large group tries to get comfortable on the hard chairs.

She goes to the band and tells them her choice before going to stand in the middle of the stage.

The band begins to play 1960s ‪Beach Boys‬ sounding music but what comes out of Marcy's mouth is Aqua's Barbie Girl.

When she gets to the male part, she waves Blaine on stage. He's surprised but quickly sings in key and style. They feed off each other and have fun.

During the song's breakdown, Marcy begins singing an operatic arpeggio. The McKinley group is blown away.

She simply finishes and continues singing the song. Blaine shakes himself and sings his part as they finish the song.

She pats his back. "Thank you."

"That was beautiful." He says as the others clap. "I've never known anyone personally who could sing opera."

She points to her family discreetly.

His eyes widen. "Ohh!"

She nods. "Take a seat."

He bobs his head and gets off stage.

She goes back to the band for her next song then goes to Brad. She taps his shoulder and waves a hand gently to indicate that she wants to play the piano.

He nods and moves.

She sits down and plays a scale to warm up then nods at the band.

They begin to play (along with her) a very heavy metal/hard rock arrangement.

Once again, what comes out of Marcy's mouth is something different; this time ‪Lady Gaga‬'s Bad Romance.

When she's finished, both Puck and Kurt are on their feet, clapping hard.
