"Christ Crusaders at 5. My house" Nellie raised her eyebrows before the two Cheerios walked off.

"Nellie. I need to talk to you"

"I quit the club, which means we don't need to speak. Goodbye" Rachel grabbed her wrist spinning her around.

"I encourage you to come back to glee today.See, you have a decent voice which could be put to great use at some point. But for now, it's me. So why don't you come back?"

"No thanks" Nellie said walking away.

"There's free cookies!" Nellie spun around

"What cookies are we talking about?"

                          *******
"Mhm. Finn must've told you these were my favorite" Nellie sat on the piano eating M&M cookies.

"Look you guys, these steps are not hard. I've been doing them since preschool." Rachel exclaimed."I'm sorry,did I miss the election for queen? Because I didn't vote for you!" Kurt snapped.

"I know what I'm talking about.I won my first dance competition when I was three months old"

"This a closed rehearsal" Kurt said to Finn who was wheeling Artie in."Look,we both owe you an apology.We should've never tried to quit" Nellie said.

"I kinda like it here.Tell anyone and I'll beat the crap out of you" Everyone flinched back at the threat."I don't wanna be the guy that just drives around throwing eggs at people" Finn exclaimed.

"That was you?" Rachel asked."You and your friends threw pee balloons at me.Your brother included"

"Remind me to yell at Puck later" Nellie whispered."You also nailed all my lawn furniture to my roof"

"I wasn't actually there for that,but I'm sorry" Finn apologized."And I guess I'm sorry for all the times the Cheerios called you names and how Santana gave you a swirlie.The only one I was there for was that time where Quinn poured her soda all over you.Sorry for laughing at that" Nellie said to Rachel.Rachel nodded.

"This is what I wanna be doing,with you guys.I used to think that this was,the lamest thing on earth and maybe it is but....we're all here for the same reason.'cause we want to be good at something"

"Artie,you play guitar right? You think you can recruit the jazz band?" Finn asked."I do have a pull there" Artie responded."Mercedes,we need costumes,and they have got to be cool"

"Damn don't you see what I got on?" Mercedes asked."That outfit is fab" Nellie said with a wink."Rachel,Nellie,you two have choreography"

Nellie and Rachel shared a glance before looking at finn."Tina,what are you good at?" Finn asked.

"I-I-"

"We'll figure something out for you" Finn shut her down."And what do you got to bring to the table Justin Timberlake?" Mercedes asked.

"I've got the music"

The next day the glee club came together in their new costumes."I do have to say,red is totally your color" Kurt said.Nellie smiled."Thanks Kurt"

"Ok! Positions please!" Finn grabbed her hand leading the girl next to Tina."3,2,1 go!"

[Don't stop believing-New Directions]

At the end of the song Mr.Shue was clapping for us."Good.It's a 9.We need a ten.Rachel,you need to hit the ones and fives.Finn,I think if we worked on it,you could hit a high B.Nellie,if we worked on your footwork I think you can get down the dance moves for our next song."

"So are you staying?" Nellie asked."It would kill me to see you win nationals without me.From the top!"
