Guilty Pleasures week had been my favourite ever lesson and my Dad hadn't even been around to teach it. In that week I was able to be honest with all of my friends and it got us closer together as a team. Plus, I could never thank Kitty enough for her love of the Spice Girls because my dream of being one of them was fulfilled, when I wore my hair in pigtails and danced in my pale pink dress.

But now Dad was back and we had to focus on the upcoming competition which wasn't far away. Finn had now officially enrolled in college to become a teacher, so we knew that he wasn't coming back and we had to work hard because we were only in the competition based on a technicality.

"I hold in my hand, ladies and gentlemen, our competition for Regionals." We all drum-rolled our seats as he opened the envelope. "From North central High School in Indianapolis, the Hoosier-Daddies. And from Our lady or Perpetual Loneliness in Battle Creek, Michigan, the Nun-Touchable."

"Wait, is that a convent?"

"I like our chances against both these squads, but we still got a lot of work to do."

"Mr Schue, please stop talking." Brittany said, standing in front of him so that she could talk to all of us. "I have an announcement. I regret to inform you a deadly asteroid is headed our way."

"Wait, didn't we just go through this at Christmas?" Blaine questioned.

Tina nodded, frowning. "Yeah, and is it true that Sam proposed to Olivia?"

"What?" Dad asked, raising an eyebrow at me, where I was sat next to Sam, who looked just as scared as I was.

We were not going to have a conversation about the proposal that my Dad missed while he was in Washington because I knew for a fact that Sam had not asked for his permission and we hadn't really told anyone about the engagement because it only lasted like two days. I didn't want a whole lecture from my Dad in front of the entire Glee Club so I kept my eyes away from him.

"Shut up, Tina." For once I was glad that Brittany was so blunt because it moved the conversation along. "I'm naming this comet the Tubbington-Bopp and it's headed straight for Lima."

"Is it an asteroid or a comet?" Artie asked, because we were all confused about the announcement.

"It's both."

Marley raised her hand. "Wouldn't NASA know something about this?"

"We can't trust NASA. So, go back to your homes, hide your wife, hide your kids and hide your wife. McKinley High, I salute you."

Although I wasn't convinced that there was a deadly Tubbington-Bopp headed towards Lima, I knew that Sam would be. He was worried about the Mayan Apocalypse that never happened so, of course, he would be worried about a supposed attack from space. I could already feel his arm tense as it was wrapped around my waist and I looked up to see his jaw clench when everyone was talking about the possible end of the world. This was not the week I had in mind after having such a good week last week; and I could already feel the tension in the air as Blaine talked to Tina about what Brittany had just announced.
