"You guys look like angels." Angie says as she positions the camera sitting on a tripod. She was at Kurt's house with Kurt himself, Brittany, and Tina. The four glee clubbers were going to film themselves dancing to 'Single Ladies' by Beyoncé.

Kurt, wearing his unitard, smiles a bit at Angie's comment. "Thanks Angie."

Angie dims the light a little bit, grabs Kurt's iPod, and hits play on the already queued up song.

[Single Ladies by Beyoncé]

Kurt, Brittany, Angie and Tina had just gotten halfway through the song when the light flickered on in the room. Angie stops recording and hits pause on Kurt's iPod when she sees his father, Burt Hummel, in front of them.

"Hi Mr. Hummel!" Angie greets with a bright smile and a wave. Angie enjoys Burt's company; he's a great father to Kurt, and just the best guy all around.

Burt smiles at Angie. "Hey kiddo! How many times do I have to tell you to call me Burt? You're practically family." Angie smiles fondly at the statement.

"I'm sorry Burt. Old habits, I guess." Angie states.

Kurt finally reels in from his shock. "Dad! You're home early."

Burt nods in agreement. "Deadliest Catch is on. What are you wearing?" He motions to his son's unitard.

Kurt — in a moment of panic — thinks of something to say. "It's a unitard. Guys wear them to, uh, work out nowadays. To do sports. They wick sweat from the body."

Burt takes his index finger and snaps Kurt's unitard back in place. He nods in understanding at his son's statement.

"F-f-f-football!" Tina supplies.

Angie nods as she plays along. She knows good and well that Kurt Elizabeth Hummel has never played a game of football in his life.

"Yeah, all the guys in football wear them. They're jock chic." Kurt adds on. "Better than stirrup pants." Kurt adds in his head.

"Totally. Kurt's on the football team now. He's the kicker – that's the smallest guy on the field, right?" Brittany says.

Angie loves Brittany to death, but is she trying to kill Kurt!?

"Yeah. Britt, Angie and Tina were just helping me with some conditioning work." Kurt lies.

Burt seems shocked, and Angie is as well... but both are for separate reasons. "Hmm. Really. You know, I played in JC before I busted up my knee, popping wheelies on my third bike."

Kurt gives a nervous smile. "Cool. I guess we'll have something to talk about, then." He then chuckles to try and break some of the tension.

"So one of you three his girlfriend?" Burt asks.

Kurt is taken aback by the question, but he puts his hand on Tina's back to give his father an answer.

"But I'm not ready to be exclusive just yet." Kurt replies verbally. Angie wants to smack Kurt upside the head for his obvious stupidity.

Burt nods and looks at his son. "Alright, just keep the music down. I can't hear myself think up there."

Burt starts walking up the stairs, but turns back to see his son and request something. "And hey, Kurt. Be sure to get me a ticket to your first game."

Kurt nods feverishly, and once Burt disappears, his hand drops from Tina's back and his smile fades.

What the hell has he gotten himself into?

The next day at glee rehearsal, Will is handing out sheet music to his students. After inspecting the sheet music, Rachel sees a problem.

"Excuse me, this isn't the right key." Rachel states in exasperation.

Will smiles slightly. "No. It's actually the right key."

"No, no, this is the alto part." Rachel realizes.

"Yep. Tina's doing the solo." Will announces. Angie beams at the goth girl, who's as equally shocked as Rachel is.

"I'm sorry, there must be some sort of mix up. I thought I made it very clear that anything from "West Side Story" goes to me. Maria is my part! Natalie Wood was a Jew, you know. I've had a very deep, personal connection to this role since the age of one." Rachel claims.

"Have you also been a pain in the ass since age one?" Angie remarks. This earns a smirk from Quinn.

"Well, I'm trying to shake things up a bit. Get us out of our boxes." Will says.

"You're trying to punish me." Rachel assumes.

Angie glares at Rachel. "For once in your life, can you just shut up?"

Rachel seems offended at Angie's statement but turns her attention back to their director.

"I think you're being irrational." Will deducts.

"I think you're being unfair!" Rachel states loudly.

"I think you're being unfair to Tina, who might have been happy about getting her first solo." Will bites back.

Angie agrees with her teacher 100%.

"Tina knows how much I respect her and I think she would agree with me that she's not ready for such an iconic role as Maria." Rachel suggests.

Mercedes looks over the sheet music with a confused look. "Wait... I'm a Jet?"

In a fit, Rachel storms out of the choir room. Artie sighs and finally decides to speak up. "The more times she storms out of rehearsal, the less impact it has."

Angie nodded. "She has to learn at one point that she's not always going to get her way."

Will, in an attempt to break the tension, smiles at Tina. "Congratulations, Tina. This is going well." Mercedes, Kurt and Artie all congratulate Tina for getting her first solo.

After rehearsal is done, the only ones still in the choir room are Finn, Angie, and Kurt. They're all about to leave the choir room.

"Finn? I needed to ask you something." Kurt says, bringing Angie with him.

Finn shows a supportive smile. "Thanks, but I already have a date to the prom. But I'm flattered! I know how important dances are to teen gays. And no offense Angie, but I'm dating Quinn."

Kurt wrinkles his nose in disgust. "I'm not gay." He denies.

Angie fakes a smile. "I wasn't even going to say anything."

Finn looks down, a little embarrassed. "Oh."

Angie smiles at the fact he meant well.

"I just... I needed a favor." Kurt continues.

Finn, Kurt, and Angie head out to the football field. The football team is practicing and doing drills under the supervision of Ken Tanaka. Several of the team members fall down during a running drill.

"This is not that difficult, gentlemen, let's go." Tanaka screams at his team.

Angie looks to Finn and Kurt, who are standing next to her on the field. Finn is dressed in his football jersey and is stretching before practice. Kurt is dressed in a red sweatshirt and has a blue headband in his hair. Kurt is holding a football helmet. Angie is in her Cheerios uniform — since Santana basically begged her to wear it daily — and is holding her pom-poms.

Finn can see how uneasy Kurt is, and walks over to him. "Just relax, okay? Remember what I told you. Keep your eye on the ball...don't try to aim it. Okay, put your helmet on."

"It'll mess up my hair." Kurt says adamantly.

Angie giggles and Kurt looks at her weirdly. "Helmet hair is totally in this season."

Finn sighs and takes the helmet from Kurt. "Put your... put your helmet on, okay?" Finn helps Kurt put the football helmet on, much to Kurt's distaste.

Looking at his finished product, Finn smiles proudly. "That's good. Red's your color."

Angie silently agrees. Kurt looks good in red. But then again, so does Finn.

Kurt sends Finn a smile. "Thank you for helping me with this, Finn. You're really cool."

"Well, I figure, the more crossover between Glee and football, the easier my life's gonna be." Finn shrugs.

Kurt begins to walk away. Finn looks confused. "Woah. Woah, woah, where are you going?"

"To get my music ready." Kurt answers.

Angie looks confused. Music? Why did Kurt need music?

Finn pales. "Wh-What? Are you nuts? You can't use that!" He stresses.

"But we did when we were rehearsing." Kurt points out.

Finn sighs. "Practicing. And no one was around! Look, do you know how much interference I had to run with these guys just to get you this try-out? If you do it your way, they're gonna kill you!" He implies.

"My body is like a rum chocolate soufflé. If I don't warm it up right, it doesn't rise. If I'm doing this, I'm doing it my way." Kurt says and walks away to get his music ready.

Angie is about to say something when Puck approaches her and Finn.

"So are you two an item now, or...? He doesn't belong here!" Puck states. Angie internally gags. Finn and Kurt? Ew! As friends, yes, but lovers? Hell no.

"You joined Acafellas, what's the difference?" Finn questions.

Angie raises an eyebrow. "Acafellas?" She asks.

"I'll tell you later." Finn responds.

Puck takes this as an opportunity to continue his rant. "I'm a stud, dude. I could wear a dress to school and people would think it's cool."

Angie cranes her neck to look at her ex-boyfriend. "No they wouldn't. They'd think you're an even bigger dick than you are now." Puck rolls his eyes at her.

Coach Tanaka blows his whistle. Angie wasn't expecting it, and jumps in fright. "Everybody take a knee." Tanaka says.

The team surrounds Tanaka and waits for him to speak. "Six games. Our kicker, Mr. Langenthaal, is zero for twelve in field goal attempts. As most of you statistically minded people know, THAT SUCKS!!! So Mr. Langenthaal will thusly be in charge of hydration services. The next player that can get a football between those uprights will get his job." The football coach says quite loudly.

Angie smiles as Kurt makes his way through the crowd of football players. "Hi, I'm Kurt Hummel, and I'll be auditioning for the role of kicker." She giggles at his formalities, knowing how polite he is when meeting people.

Several football players laugh, and Kurt looks at them in disgust. Finn nods his head. Kurt makes his way to the center of the field with a stereo CD player, and Finn walks by his side with a football. Finn puts the football down and holds it for Kurt. Kurt turns the stereo on and "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)" plays. Angie smiles as she watched Kurt dance to the music. He kicks the football and it goes all the way through the uprights at a high velocity. Kurt takes off his helmet as Tanaka rushes up to him. Angie flits over to Kurt.

"That was good, right?" Kurt asks. Angie smiles as she hugs him.

Finn smirks proudly. "Aha, yeah."

Kurt's eyes widen. "That was good?"

"Yeah." Finn answers.

Angie smiles and kisses Kurt's cheek. "That was the best thing I've ever seen!"

Neither Kurt nor Angie notice the frown on Finn's face.

Angie moves away when Coach Tanaka comes up to Kurt. "Can you do that with the game on the line and ten gorillas bearing down on you wanting nothing more than to taste your sweet virgin blood?"

"Mm, sounds like fun. Can I have my music?" Kurt asks.

"If you kick like that, you can wear a tutu, for all I care!" Tanaka says and then looks to the rest of the team. "Gentlemen! We have found ourselves a kicker!"

Kurt waves to the football team as Puck looks at him in disgust.

Angie checks her phone and sighs. "I gotta cut this celebration short. I have Cheerios practice in 10."

Kurt waves goodbye and looks to Finn, who's watching her run off the field, his eyes wandering to the skirt of her uniform.

Kurt smirks as he catches Finn's stare. "So how long have you had a crush on Angie?"

Finn blushes. "I-I don't know what you mean."

"You were totally checking her out in her uniform. Don't tell me you don't do it with Quinn." Kurt argues.

"And what if I do? She's a smoking hot cheerleader and my best friend in the world. But I don't think she's into me. Maybe it's got something to do with the fact I'm dating Quinn." Finn says.

Kurt chuckles to himself and watches Finn walk off. "She's totally into you. You have no idea."

The next morning, Quinn is alone in the girl's bathroom, visibly distraught with tears running down her face.

Angie walked in to see Quinn was crying. "Q? Are you okay? Did Finn break up with you?"

Quinn shook her head. "You have to promise you won't tell anyone." She said.

Angie stuck out her pinky. "I pinky swear I will never tell another soul."

Quinn links fingers with her best friend before saying the most shocking two sentences.

"I'm pregnant. And Finn's the father."

Oh shit.

/ / /

That afternoon, Finn is approaching Quinn and calling her name, but she ignores him and walks down the hallway. Angie happened to be walking towards Quinn, and seeing the tears on her cheeks, she stops.

"Quinn! Quinn. Hey, what's with the silent treatment? Whatever I did, I'm sorry." Finn says.

Quinn stops at a corridor and Finn catches up with her. Angie looks down at her feet. "I'll just leave."

Quinn grabs her wrist. "Stay. Please. You already know." She begs.

"Knows what? What's going on here?" Finn asks.

Quinn lets out a shaky breath. "I'm pregnant."

Finn is now lost in his own mind, and finds it difficults to focus on what Quinn is saying. However, Angie is listening.

"I wasn't sure, and I really didn't want to go by myself, and I'm so sorry that I didn't tell you sooner!" Quinn sobs.

"Finn comes back from his own thoughts. "Mine?"

Quinn smiles gently through her tears. "Yes, you. Who else's would it be?"

Finn, still in shock, stutters. "But we... we never..."

Quinn sighs. "Last month. Hot tub."

Angie wonders what they could've been doing in a hot tub, but decides not to voice her question.

"But we were wearing our swimsuits!" Finn remembers.

"Ask Jeeves said a hot tub is the perfect temperature for sperm. It, it helps it swim faster." Quinn chokes out.

Angie puts an arm around Quinn's shoulders, trying to help calm her down.

Finn is freaking out. "Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Are – are you gonna get a...?" He doesn't finish his sentence.

Quinn looks appalled while she's crying. "No. I really thought I had a shot at getting out of here! No." She cries on Finn's shoulder. He doesn't know what to say or what to do.

Angie places a hand on Quinn's back, looking at Finn with sad eyes.

They didn't know what to do or say about this.

In the auditorium, Tina is singing "Tonight" from West Side Story on stage.

Will and Angie are at the side of the stage, encouraging her. Things are going great, but Tina gets nervous and blows the last note of the song.

Will and Angie walk over to her, clapping.

[Tonight by Tina]

"That was great, Tina. Good job!" Will compliments.

Tina sighs in disappointment. "You don't have to say that. I was sh-sh-sharp. I c-c-c-can't do this."

Will tries a different approach. "Hey, hey, look at me. Have you noticed the more confident you are, the less you stutter? Hey... I need you to be great at Regionals. To do that, you've got to know that you can do this."

"You have to give this song to Rachel. She's better than me, and you know she'll quit if you don't. I'll have to t-take one for the team." Tina says sadly.

Angie follows Tina out of the auditorium, passing by Finn, who's walking to the auditorium.

"Tina, don't let Rachel scare you into giving up the solo. You deserve this solo fair and square." Angie tries to convince.

Tina looks at Angie. "S-She'd be a l-l-lot better th-than me."

Angie stops Tina in the middle of the hallway. "Tina, never doubt your talent because of someone like Rachel. Rachel is nothing but a selfish little dwarf-like bitch that expects everything to go her way. It's just like Mr. Shue said the other day: everyone deserves a chance to be a star. Take the solo, Tina. This is your time to shine."

Tina smiles softly. "T-Thanks A-Angie. I think I'll l-listen to you."

It is the night of the football game. Cheerleaders, including Quinn, Santana, Angie and Brittany, are cheering. The football team, including Puck, Finn, Kurt, and a player named Nick, are standing on the side of the field, preparing for the game.

Angie walks over at the most inopportune time to talk to Finn and Kurt. "Well, I think we, uh, really came together this week as a team." Finn says.

"Yeah, a gay team. A big gay team of dancing gays." Puck says.

Kurt and Angie are visibly unhappy after hearing Puck's homophobic remark. Now all Angie wants to do is kill Noah Puckerman for being the biggest dick of them all.

"Seriously, Finn. It was fun in practice and all, but we can't do that out here in front of everybody! It'll make us even more of a joke." Nick complains.

Kurt looks at Finn as if to say "Do something!", but the team heads out to the field and puts their helmets on. It is game time. The crowd, including Mr. Shue, Emma, and Burt, are cheering loudly.

Angie smiles as she taps Kurt on the shoulder. He smiles when he sees her. "Aren't you supposed to be with the Cheerios?"

Angie shrugs. "Came to wish my favorite football player good luck."

Kurt smiles and hugs her. "Thanks Angie."

Angie smiles. "You're welcome Kurt." She says and skips over to Finn, who's back is turned to her.

"Break a leg out there, Hudson." Angie states.

Finn looks confused. "But I'll be out of the game if I break a leg."

Angie smiled. "It's theater talk. It means good luck."

Finn nodded. "Oh. Well... thanks. I'm gonna need a lot of luck."

Angie smiled as she made her way back to her spot with the Cheerios. She stood between Quinn and Brittany.

The team does very badly in the first play. Tanaka and the crowd are disappointed. Again, the team does terribly. Angie can see Coach Tanaka is frustrated.

"Come on!" He grumbles.

Kurt, who sees his dad, begins waving to him in the crowd. "Dad! Dad!"

Burt sends a subtle wave to his son.

"I told you! I told you!" Kurt exclaims.

The game resumes. The team is still doing very badly. This causes Coach Tanaka to throw his stuff on the ground. The scoreboard then changes. There are only twelve seconds left in the game. Burt looks unhappy in the bleachers. Angie looks unhappy from her spot next to Quinn.

The timer resumes counting down. Finn's mind is racing. He sees Quinn, Kurt, Angie and Will. With one second remaining, he calls for a time out.

"Time out!" Finn calls. Angie and Quinn can't quite hear what Finn is saying to Puck, but it looks pretty serious.

Puck looks over to Quinn and Angie with the cheerleaders. Finn calls for a quick huddle, and then they break.

Quinn, Angie, Santana, and Brittany are shown cheering with the cheerleaders. At first the team is hesitant, but they do agree to dancing.

"Hut, one, two, three. Let's hit it!" Finn calls.

He makes a motion, and suddenly "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)" is playing over the intercom. The whole football team dances to the song, much to the disbelief of Burt and the opposing team. Angie smiles and records the whole dance on her phone.

"Hike!" Finn shouts.

Finn passes the football to Puck, who makes it all the way to the end of the field. Tanaka and the entire crowd are extremely pleased. Angie is cheering for the touchdown.

Tanaka looks to Kurt. "You're up, kid. You make this and we win. You make this and you die a legend."

"Can I pee first?" Kurt asks meekly. He then makes his way to the center of the field.

"God, he's so little." Burt mumbles softly from his spot in the crowd.

Angie is bouncing on her toes, anxious to see what will happen. "Come on Kurt."

Kurt makes a motion with his hand. A short portion of "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)" again plays over the intercom. Kurt dances for a few seconds, and then kicks the ball and makes the field goal.

The referee blows his whistle. The game is over, and the Titans have won. All thanks to Kurt. Burt goes crazy in the crowd.

"That's my son! That is my boy!" Burt states proudly.

Angie rushes over to the middle of the field, planting a big kiss on Kurt's cheek in a sisterly fashion She slings an arm over his shoulders, hugging him close.

What a night!

The next day at rehearsal, Will walks in the door with Puck, and football players Mike Chang and Matt Rutherford. The entire Glee Club is already present.

"Hey guys! Let's give a big Glee welcome to our three new members fresh off their big win on Friday night – Noah Puckerman, Matt Rutherford, and Mike Chang. Regionals, here we come." Will cheers.

Puck takes a seat in the back, and Mike and Matt sit next to Angie, giving her soft 'hi's.

Will claps his hands. "Let's start today with "Tonight" from West Side Story."

Rachel, who thinks Will is giving her the solo, beams at the prospect of singing this song, and nods fervently.

"Tina, show us what you got." Will says to the goth girl.

Angie cheers as Tina stands up, walking to the center of the choir room.

Rachel is upset. The solo is still not hers. She has not gotten what she wants. Rachel storms out of the choir room, angry and upset.

Rachel Berry decides to leave Glee club to do 'Cabaret.' She's going to be a star.
