Coach Beiste blows his whistle "COME ON, GET A MOVE ON!".

Xander, Reo, Nathan and all the other people on The Football Team jog around the field. Elijah runs around with them, but out of breath as he talks to Reo "look, all I'm saying is to try and convince Mia to come out on a date with me?" Reo looks at Elijah "why don't you ask her yourself?" Elijah smiles "I-I'm too nervous too" Reo sighs "she likes you, you know that right? There's just something about her eyes that I can just tell". Nathan then interrupts them "or if you want, you can set me and Beth up on a date?". Xander hits Nathan in the chest "shut up dude!". Elijah then looks at Reo goes "look, j-just tell her that I'm going to Breadstix tomorrow night...on my own" Reo laughs "I'll talk to her, alright? Now go to class, you're late already" Elijah then nods "thanks". Elijah then goes "oh, and if she says no, can you like come out and meet me? So I'm not on my own?" Reo then laughs "sure, we can go on a date" Elijah rolls his eyes "shut up". Reo starts laughing as Elijah then stops jogging, and he stands there out of breath "jeez, how do you do that much jogging?".

Elijah walks off the field.

Inside a classroom, Mia sits in class with Kara and Marcus sitting near her. Elijah walks over, but he sits beside Kara. Mia looks over at him "you are ten minutes late, what took you so long?" Elijah stares at her nervously as he tries to think of what to say "I, uh, I, I needed to pee" Mia then nods "lovely" Elijah then sighs. Mia turns around and she quietly starts to laugh.

Elijah then looks around "where's Mr Grant?" Kara looks at him and she chews gum "don't know, he's not come in yet" Marcus nods "he's probably gotten lost, you know he's like a hundred years old" Elijah smirks "yeah, wouldn't surprise me".

A woman then walks into the class, walking in seriously, with a briefcase. Mia's face then drops into embarrassment.

The woman then puts her briefcase down and she looks at the class "good morning everybody, I'm Mrs Lake, and I will be your new Math teacher-".

Elijah, Kara and Marcus then turn their heads, looking at Mia. Elijah goes "isn't your last name Lake?" Mia looks at them, and she then looks back up at Mrs Lake. Mrs Lake then smiles at Mia and goes "and for anybody who doesn't know, I'm Mia's mother".

Mia then puts her head onto the desk.

Mrs Lake smiles "right then, time to get mathematical".

Elijah, Marcus and Kara look at each other as Mia's head still lays on the desk in embarrassment.

Rachel and Jesse walk into Al Hirschfeld Theatre.

The two of them look up at the stage where props are being created and Rachel looks at the background which has been made which looks like a village. Rachel smiles at it and she holds onto Jesse's hand. Jesse then looks at Rachel "can you guess the show you're going to be performing in yet?" Rachel shakes her head "not yet".

Rachel then sees a golden yellow dress hanged up in a plastic see-through bag and her mouth then drops. Jesse smiles "you're going to be playing Belle from Beauty and The Beast" Rachel then runs over to the dress "how did they get the dress?" Jesse laughs "they spoke to your clothing designer" Rachel then laughs "oh my god, this is amazing-"

Rachel then opens the bag up and she feels the dress and she goes "this is beautiful" Jesse nods "you'll look beautiful in it" Rachel smiles at him "I wanna try it on" Jesse nods "let's take it to your dressing room then" Rachel takes the dress off of the hanger and she walks with Jesse.

Inside the dressing room, Jesse zips the back of the dress up for Rachel, and as he then steps back, he looks at Rachel, who is wearing the golden yellow dress and he smiles "whoa, that looks incredible" Rachel smiles and she then looks in the mirror at herself.

(Belle, Beauty and The Beast, Ariana Grande and John Legend Version starts to play)

Rachel stands looking in the mirror at herself as she then starts to sing "tale as old as time-".

Jesse then starts to smile as he watches her.

Rachel continues "true as it can be, barely even friends, then somebody bends, unexpectedly".

Jesse stands up and he smiles as he then sings "just a little change, small, to say the least, both a little scared, neither one prepared".

Rachel then joins in with him as they sing "Beauty and The Beast".

Jesse then grabs onto Rachel's hand and he pulls her out of the dressing room, and they walk to the backstage.

The two of them continue singing as they walk backstage "ever just the same, ever a surprise, ever as before, and ever just as sure, as the sun will rise".

Jesse then sings on his own "oh woah".

Rachel and Jesse then sing together "Beauty and The Beast".

Rachel and Jesse walk together and they walk onto the stage and Rachel sings "tale as old as time".

Jesse smiles at her and he sings "song as old as rhyme".

Rachel and Jesse smile with the background of the village behind them and they sing together "Beauty and the Beast".

Jesse then sings "Beauty and"

Rachel then smiles as the two of them end it with "Beauty and the Beast".

(Song Ends)

The sound of clapping is then heard as Rachel turns around and a man stands there clapping "sounds like you're fitting into the role nicely" Rachel smiles at him "I'm sorry, you are?" Jesse then goes "oh, sorry, Rachel this is Harold, he's done some amazing broadway performances in the past" Harold nods "I'm so looking forward to working with you Rachel, I hope we can have a really good future ahead, and this it could be an incredible show" Rachel smiles at him.

Walking along the corridors at McKinley High, Reo walks behind Mia saying "all I'm saying is...go and meet him, he's going to be all alone there" Mia scoffs "why's he going alone anyway?" Reo goes "he fancied going out to Breadstix, and they did reopen not long ago, it's apparently a decent place to go too" Mia turns around and she looks at Reo "is this a setup?" Reo stares at her "n-no, I-I-" Mia goes "because it kinda sounds like one" Reo sighs and he goes "listen, don't tell him I told you, but he really likes you, and he wanted me to get you to go" Mia smiles at him "I'll think about it" Reo looks at her "what does that mean" Mia then goes to reply to him until she sees Beth "oh, BETH!". Beth then runs off and away from Reo. Reo nods "well, thanks".

Mia runs over to Beth who is walking with Kourtney. Kourtney smiles "hey Mia-" Beth then butts in "what do you want?" Mia looks at Beth "did you know mom is working at the school?". Beth's face drops "what do you mean?" Mia goes "she's taken over from Mr Grant, they apparently found him dead last night". Beth then starts to freak out "oh my god, she'll ruin my life and my popularity" Mia goes "um, she's already ruined my life" Kourtney looks at the two of them "so, I'm gonna go...and I'll see you later-" Beth grabs Kourtney "stay". Beth looks at Mia "you go".

Walking into the choir room, Elijah looks at Reo and he is freaking out "what do you mean you told her that I told you to ask her? Oh my god-" Reo laughs "dude, chill" Elijah shakes his head "I can't, she'll just think I'm even more of an idiot" Reo laughs "she doesn't, I told you, I can just tell that she likes you" Elijah takes a deep breath and he goes "alright, I'll chill".

Sam walks out of the teacher's room and as he walks out, he walks with Sheldon. Sheldon goes "so yeah, it starts at six if you wanted to come, I took Will there a while ago, I'd have asked him but I know that he and Emma are in Washington at the minute with the school board, so I thought I'd ask you" Sam stares at her and goes to reply until he sees Penny. Sheldon then smiles "I'll leave you two together" Sam smiles as Sheldon walks away from him.

Penny smiles "you okay?" Sam nods "yeah, kinda just saved me from saying yes to something I really didn't wanna go too, I love Coach Beiste, but Will told me before about that place...oh anyway, I was thinking we need to talk, not right now, but soon?" Penny "sure, we can talk after the school day has finished" Sam nods "cool, alright then, see you then" Penny smiles.

Later on, as the bells ring, students start walking out of classes, and out of the school.

Marcus, Kara, Kourtney, Nathan and Xander walk together out of the school.

Reo and Elijah walk together and Reo goes "well, good luck dude, if you need me to come and be your date then just call me" Elijah laughs "thanks" Reo smiles and he walks over towards a car outside.

Elijah then looks over at Marcus, Kara, Kourtney, Nathan and Xander who are walking in his direction. Kara smiles "wanna walk with us?" Elijah nods "you're not taking the school bus?" Marcus shakes his head "we just wanted to walk home today" Elijah smiles "sure, I'll join you".

Mia and Beth stand in the parking lot waiting beside a car as Mrs Lake walks over smiling.

Mrs Lake smiles "how was school?" Beth stares at her angrily "it was going good thanks, but then a woman called Amanda walked in, and she totally just ruined my life!". Amanda unlocks the car and Beth gets into the car. Amanda looks at Mia. Mia then goes "I mean, it was embarrassing" Amanda nods at her "I'm sorry" Mia nods, but she then gets into the car.

Inside the theatre, Rachel is back in her ordinary clothes as she walks out of her dressing room, Jesse stands with Harold talking together.

Rachel walks over smiling "what're you talking about?" Jesse smiles "we're just lining you up for work after you finish this" Rachel goes "well I won't be finished for at least a year" Harold nods at her "we know that" Jesse then goes "I've spoken to Harold, we can do three different shows after this, you can lead all of them, we're even hoping that next year, we could possibly even set you up to do two shows together" Rachel then stares at him "but, what about a break? I'll have to work nonstop for about three years" Harold nods at her smiling "yeah, but you're young, you'll be fine!" Rachel stares at him. Harold then goes "right, well anyway, I've gotta go and check on how the set is coming". Rachel watches Harold walking off.

Jesse smiles at Rachel "isn't that amazing, you'll make loads of money, and don't even talk to about how much fame you'll get" Rachel then hits him in the arm "I can't do another three shows, not nonstop, I want a break, I'll be completely drained!" Jesse goes "the more work you do, the bigger you become" Rachel stares at him "I don't want to be as big as I was before...it lead me to do things that almost ended my career-" Jesse looks at her. Rachel then goes "I'll do this show, but I won't do any more until I've had a break" Jesse watches as Rachel starts walking off, Jesse then goes "just think about it, please? My necks on the line otherwise" Rachel then sighs and she continues walking away from him. Jesse stands there nervously.

Elijah sits in Breadstix, he has a bunch of flowers laying on the table. A candle is lit, but half of the wax has melted. A waitress comes over "ready to order yet?" Elijah shakes his head smiling "not yet" the waitress goes "you've been waiting forty minutes, maybe the person you're waiting for just isn't coming" Elijah stares at the waitress with tears in his eyes as she then walks away.

Elijah pulls his phone out where he clicks onto Reo's number, and he goes to click on it until he then stops. Elijah then stands up and looks at the waitress "just throw the flowers away, or you can keep them, if you want" the waitress smiles "whoever she is, maybe she didn't deserve you?" Elijah smiles at the waitress until a voice then goes "or maybe she does-" Elijah turns around and Mia stands there. Mia goes "I'm so sorry I'm late, Beth and my mom got into a really bad fight, and I couldn't leave" Elijah then smiles at her "you're here now, that's all that counts".

Elijah and Mia sit at the table and Mia looks down at the flowers smiling "thank you" Elijah nods.

A little while later, the two of them sit at the table eating food. Mia then goes "so, Reo said you asked him to get me to come today?" Elijah then starts to blush and he laughs "yeah, I did" Mia nods at him "why didn't you ask?" Elijah goes "I-I was too nervous, I've never had a girlfriend before, I've had crushes, but never a girlfriend, I guess being in foster care I just found it hard to love again, I've not really had anyone to love before" Mia goes "so, your foster parents, how long are they keeping you for?" Elijah goes "they've been taking care of me since I was eleven, I was out of foster families every few months before, but the ones I'm with now, they really care for me, they want to adopt me, but they can't afford to go through with the papers, and as I'm getting older the chances for anyone else wanting to adopt me gets slimmer" Mia nods at him.

Mia sits back in her chair and she goes "so, you like me then?" Elijah smiles "yeah, I like you". Mia looks over at a karaoke box in the corner of Breadstix and she smiles "come on-" Elijah shakes his head "no! Mia-" Mia pulls Elijah up and she pulls him over to the karaoke box.

Mia then presses onto the song and she smiles at him "you too scared?" Elijah laughs at her.

(I Really Like You, Carly Rae Jepsen starts to play)

Mia then starts to sing "I really wanna stop, but I just got the taste for it, I feel like I could fly with the boy on the moon".

Elijah then starts to sing "so, honey, hold my hand, you like making me wait for it, I feel like I could die walking up to the room, oh yeah".

Mia and Elijah then start to sing together "late night, watching television, but how'd we get in this position? It's way too soon, I know this isn't love-".

Mia then sings on her own "but I need to tell you something-".

Mia and Elijah sing together again "I really, really, really, really, really, really like you-".

Elijah then sings on his own "and I want you, do you want me, do you want me, too?".

They sing together again "I really, really, really, really, really, really like you-".

Mia smiles at Elijah as she then sings on her own "and I want you, do you want me, do you want me, too?".

Mia then takes Elijah's hand as they walk away from the karaoke box, Mia starts to sing "oh, did I say too much? I'm so in my head when we're out of touch".

The two of them walk towards their table singing "I really, really, really, really, really, really like you, and I want you, do you want me, do you want me, too?

Elijah pulls some money out and leaves it at their table, as they walk out of Breadstix and down the street.

Mia then lets out "yeah!".

Elijah sings "I really, really, really, really, really, really like you".

Mia smiles at him and she sings "and I want you, do you want me".

Elijah and Mia stop and they face each other as Elijah sings "yeah I need to tell you something".

Mia sings to Elijah "do you want me, too?".

Elijah then sings her "I really, really, really, really, really, really like you".

The two of them then sing together "and I want you, do you want me, do you want me, too?".

(Song Ends)

Mia and Elijah both stand in the street laughing. Elijah then pulls Mia in and he kisses her on the lips. Mia smiles at him as they move away. Elijah then goes "can I walk you home?" Mia nods at him "I'd really like that" Elijah smiles and the two of them walk down the street holding hands.

Sam and Penny sit together outside the school, Sam goes "so, what did you do? After you left" Penny goes "I attempted to go back to medical school, but I dropped out, I don't know it just wasn't for me, I ended up just living a little, went to some parties, a lot of them actually. I don't know, I did some travelling, and now I'm just trying to settle down, I got a job, at a place that I really liked, and I want to meet someone, have kids, get married" Sam looks at her and she looks at him. Sam goes "do you mean with me?" Penny then bursts into laughter "no, not with you" Sam then nods and he laughs. Penny goes "I didn't even realise you'd be here, I thought you'd have left" Sam nods at her. Penny then goes "but I'm glad you're here, I have a friend" Sam smiles at her. Penny then goes "well, I better get back home" Sam nods "me too" Penny nods at him "it was nice seeing you, we should hang out more often" Sam nods "I'd like that" Penny nods "me too" Sam smiles at her as Penny then starts to walk off.

Rachel sits inside her apartment, mascara has rolled down her face from crying.

Jesse walks inside and he looks over at her. Jesse looks at Rachel and he goes "I know it sounds like a lot, but once it's over, you'll feel great, look if you don't agree to do these shows, then Harold has told me he'll fire you from Beauty and The Beast, and if he fires you, you'll be in the same position as you were back after you filmed that awful TV Show that you did". Rachel glares at him and she then looks back down at the floor again "I think you sleep in the spare room today, I need to make a phone call, I don't know if I want to accept it yet, but someone can help me" Jesse nods at her, and he walks off. Rachel then grabs her phone and she rings a contact. Rachel then goes "Quinn? Can you get to New York? I really need your help".

Elijah walks towards a house with Mia. Mia then goes "it's best you leave me here, there's no doubt in my mind that there will be fighting inside" Elijah smiles at her "well, call me if you need me" Mia smiles and she kisses him on the lips "bye" Elijah smiles as Mia walks towards her door.

Walking into her house, Mia hears Beth screaming and shouting. Mia then walks into the kitchen where she sees Amanda and Beth arguing. Beth then points at Mia "EVEN MIA DOESN'T WANT YOU THERE!" Mia then goes "don't get me involved!". Amanda then looks at Beth "I don't care what you think, I have to provide for this family since your father is off doing god knows what, and I was offered a position at your school! It pays the bills and it keeps you fed, so like it or not, you will have to deal with it!".

Beth storms out of the kitchen, and towards her bedroom, and she then slams the bedroom door behind her.

Beth then picks up her phone and she dials a number. Beth then says "I'll continue helping you, but that now comes with a price, someone joined the school, a teacher, my mom, and I can't have her there, get her removed and I'll continue helping you".

On the other end of the phone a person sits in a completely dark room, but then speaks in a familiar voice and she then goes "you offer a very easy, yet time-wasting thing for me to do, but Quinn Fabray number three, I will do it if you take down the GLEE club".

The person then puts down the phone, and the person then reaches over to a lamp and turns it on, revealing Sue Sylvester, whose face has a furious expression on it.
