     a frustrated huff passed from her lips, arms crossing over her chest. who even CARED about proving their talent ? sugar would have much rather won than prove anything. ❛ i have about 10% confidence in us winning without a little bribage – we sort of suck. i mean, i can’t even sing. ❜ she perked up as he continued, a small smile graving her features. ❛ well in that case – it’s time to start doing our research !! we need to find out who the judges will be, and what they can be bribed with, so i can tell daddy exactly what i need. ❜

      Sugar’s confidence in their abilities might be lacking.  However.  Blaine was holding out hope that his confidence in his teammates might make up for her serious lack of any.  Even if in his opinion they should have started rehearsing and planning months ago was enough to give him more sleepless nights than he’d admit to.  Hopefully, he was right.  The alternative was far too crushing to think about.  

“No!  No.  First.  We practice more.  Then, if we are still having trouble?  You and I can talk about,” he made air quotes around the words, “other plans.”  Trying to goad her into agreeing with him, Blaine lifted his brows, pressed his lips together and hummed. “I’d rather try then than risk getting disqualified.  Wouldn’t you?  We could..work together?”  Yeah.  He offered that.  Oh God.  What just came out of his mouth?

sugar.

      ❛ i just don’t understand why no one will let me pay off the judges so we WIN. it’s not like i can’t afford it. hello – i’m RICH. i could give them anything they wanted, and daddy would give me the money to do it. which is why i don’t understand why people keep telling me NO. ❜

“As tempting as that offer might be?  I think winning because we’re the most talented group on the stage is going to feel a lot better.  Though.  If I’m honest with you?  If Mr. Schue doesn’t get us seriously focused on Sectionals sooner rather than later,” he shrugged not saying the obvious but fully insinuating with the look on his face that they might need to keep her option on the back burner.  Not that he’d ever TRULY consider it.  No.  Not at all.
