The Cheerios began their practice performance for their coach, all in blue wigs, some Cheerios in bikini tops and skirts while others rocked the whole uniform.
Julia and Brittany both danced with the group of Cheerios at the front of the gym as boys on bikes pedaled around them and performed flips off of ramps to the song "California Gurls".
There were explosions in the background and a girl even hula hooped a ring of fire before girls came out with something that looked like lassos of flames to Julia. At the end of the song, the group of Cheerios followed the front to girls who had cone sparklers over their chests before they all posed in front of Sue and Becky Jackson.
Julia sweated through the entire song, but something about the thrill of performing always made her love Cheer.
Sue grabbed her megaphone and held it up to her mouth even though the girls were only a couple feet away.
"I'm bored," she said as the sparklers fizzled out and the Cheerios' faces dropped. "Ladies, I am at a loss. Brittany, please remind me how I singlehandedly put cheerleading on the map."
"In 1979, you directed a made for TV movie about the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders called "The Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders"," Brittany said as she turned to Julia who held a reassuring smile on her face.
Julia was weirdly proud of the blonde for remembering such a simple thing and she couldn't help but cheer on Brittany with a grin which Brittany returned.
"That is correct," Sue nodded. "In the meantime, what has changed?"
"Personal grooming habits?" Quinn wondered.
"What's changed is I have completely lost interest and ladies, I blame you," Sue pointed at the cheerleaders as Julia and Santana exchanged confused glances. "Becky, more silicone falsies," Sue summoned the girl next to her.
"Got it, coach," she said as she walked over to the rest of the Cheerios with a bucket and handed them each a chicken cutlet.
When Becky handed Julia one, she hesitantly grabbed it, holding it between two fingers, not wanting to get her hand slimy as she wondered why chicken needed to be a part of their routine.
"You will each enhance your bust with an additional pair of chicken cutlets in an attempt to add a little jiggle to what is the most boring routine I have ever witnessed," Sue said as Julia cringed at the thought of the chicken against her bare skin.
"But coach Sylvester, this is the most elaborate routine the Cheerios have ever done," Quinn started.
"Yeah, Quinn's right," Julia finally spoke up. "We're shoo-ins at Regionals next week and we're the favorites to win at Nationals," Julia said as the rest of the Cheerios nodded with her.
"Yet I am still so," Sue lifted the megaphone up to her lips again. "So, very bored. Even things I used to think were hilarious. Case and point, sandbags," Sue called out causing Santana to pick up her head as Julia rolled her eyes at the new nickname. "Slap yourself with a chicken cutlet."
Santana let out a sigh before lightly hitting herself with a chicken cutlet and whipping her head back as if she had been punched in the face.
"Now slap Brittany," Sue said as Santana quickly turned and smacked Brittany a bit harder on the nose, causing Julia to cringe again as the blonde clearly wasn't expecting the slap. "See, not even a chuckle," Sue shook her head.
