You really need to upgrade to Facebook.

[she swallows, wiping her eyes.] The quality isn't as good.

No one uses My Space anymore. What's the point? You may as well post videos of Tickle Me Elmo dressed in drag. No one cares. Or has no one accepted for friends request on Facebook?

What's your point, Kurt? I'm culturally irrelevant? Understood.

We established that in Freshman year. No sense flogging a dead horse.

[thickly. she doesn't want to cry in front of him.] Could you just go, please. We've also established that you refuse to ever be nice. I'm not exactly in a state of mind to defend myself against your bitterness right now.

That's extremely judgmental and incorrect. I just refuse to be nice in front of you. But I will leave you to your teenage emo. I don't need the secondary frown lines.

Just go.

[ooc: oh god i am so sorry, i just realized that this kurt =/= the kurt that was there for her subplot. so sorry so sorry so sorry.]

Naturally.

[...of course. the boy she's singing about.]

Jesse.

[he had, of course, had a hunch.]

Hummel would be correct in saying that you really would fare better on Facebook. Far more exposure.

[oh, okay, Jesse. don't comment on her flawless singing abilities. cool.]

Kurt can kindly see himself out. I don't want to be on Facebook.

[as if she needs that sort of encouragement from him. excuse himself while he secretly finds you adorable.]

Always so stubborn.

[it would be appreciated after (i rewatched) funk, okay.]

You can't become a star by being a pushover.

[funk did nothing but prove how undeniably well these two work together. if he succumbs to rachel's whims that's going to throw everything off.]

Nor can you reach stardom if you're completely unexposed. At least graduate to YouTube.

[and crush my shipper's heart into a million little pieces. that's the sort of heartbreak girls like me carry forever. rachel's just going to hand him the camcorder authoritatively.]

Here, you can film me. And put it on YouTube, if you really think it's necessary.

[jesse's not going to bother being pleased that he's won, because he knew he was right. so he'll just stand here and hold the camcorder as still as possible.]

It has nothing to do with what's necessary for me. Wow me.

[good. you do that. she's not singing to you, don't be absurd.]

I guess I can't believe you really came,
And that we're sitting on this pier.
See, I'm smiling,
That means I'm happy that you're here.

[she's just going to.. finish out the song. because that's all she can do.]

[fantastic. that would have made this incredibly awkward.]

Interesting song selection. Not what I would have chosen, particularly after you've been asked to wow, but interesting.

[the poignancy is palpable, so you've at least got that going for you. jesse's going to ignore it in favor of messing camera down and pretending to make sure the quality of the video is perfect.]

[i live for awkward and you know it. sex and awkward are my favorite food groups. her voice is quiet.]

As I recall, you weren't too fond of doing what was asked of you either. Consider it a character choice.

[jesse and i are rolling our eyes.]

I'm glad to know you haven't lost any flair for the dramatic, either.

[he's sets the camera down and leans against a table trying to act careless to mask how tense he is. just another performance.]

Has anything changed, or is everything exactly the way I'd left it?

[whatever, you love me. roll your eyes all you want. she's just going to stand there, watching him.]

My answer completely depends on what you're asking about. Matt Rutherford transferred, New Directions took on a new student, Mr Schuester is still teaching us, and we're still in an intense rivalry with Vocal Adrenaline. Is that what you wanted to know?

[they both know it's not.]

That's a shame about Rutherford, he was a crucial member of your team. Part of me is surprised that VA remains relevant now that I've left, but I suppose Shelby wouldn't let it fall into incapable hands.

[there's an awkward silence now, thanks to rachel's typical evasive maneuvers. he's not going to be the one to come clean about anything, so as far as you know, life has been fantastic.]

He was about as crucial as a belt with suspenders, Jesse, and you know it. Now are you going to ask me what you really want to know, or will you dance around the issue?

[she's certainly not going to ask him.]
