Glee Club, Music Room, Thursday Afternoon [ 12/02 ].

Considering that Ariel still had that darned PuddiPuddi song stuck in her head, she was hoping that it wouldn't negatively effect her duet today. It was troublesome that, as she set out the usual snacks and drinks for everyone, she had to really concentrate to remember her song. The power of the PuddiPuddi was just that strong.

"Okay, guys! It's time for our Duets competition, so I hope you found a really good partner and worked on something extra impressive. I know I did." And, of course, she flashed Ellie an extra big smile there. "Like I said a few weeks ago, Master Skywalker and Mister Deadpool will being our judges; they're disqualified from competing although we'd love to still see another duet from them all the same, right? And then the winner gets dinner at Il Pollo! Who wants to go first?"

[[ the OCD is ~~going first, actually~~ up! ]]

Getting out before the crowd, Alexander took a moment to jauntily dawn the hat to match his fine tailored suit (of course, he was a little biased since he'd worked on it), and offered out his hand to bring Quinn up so that they could start their song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6bOCUOPN0w)...

Quinn took his hand and grinned at him. If she was still nervous, it only showed in her slightly too-careful posing, as if she thought things would go entirely wrong if they weren't carefully kept on the right track.

She opened her mouth to sing as the music started.

I know I stand in line
Until you think you have the time
To spend an evening with me...

And, once you got past those first few notes, it got a little easier, and Alexander focused on the performance and the cuteness of the song.

"And if we go someplace to dance
I know that there's a chance
You won't be leaving with me..."

Then afterwards we drop into a quiet little place
And have a drink or two
And then I go and spoil it all
By saying something stupid
Like I love you

This ... wasn't so scary. This was kind of fun, actually. Quinn shot him a smile and started moving less stiffly. The song didn't exactly call for complicated choreography, but that didn't mean she should stand totally stiff.

A lack of complicated choreography was definitely working in Alexander's benefit; he worked better without having to think about moves so he could focus on returning Quinn's smile genuinely.

I can see it in your eyes
That you despise the same old lines
You heard the night before

It wasn't so bad at all, no.

And though it's just a line to you
For me it's true
And never seemed so right before

Quinn wasn't making flirty eyes at Alexander, exactly. It was more that the character she was playing in the song was making flirty eyes at the character he was playing.

... that was different. Right?

Alexander was certainly not making flirty eyes back, either. Quinn, after all, did not even look remotely like Cassima, and, in fact, if she was to resemble anyone he knew, it would be his sister.

Ahem.

I practice every day to find some clever
Lines to say
To make the meaning come through

Of course those totally weren't flirty eyes, just like that wasn't a pleased smile creeping across Quinn's face. It was nice they seemed to be on the same page.

But then I think I'll wait until the evening
gets late
And I'm alone with you...

And this part coming up certainly was Alexander's favorite, so he did what he could with it. The guy was quite the romantic at heart, and so quite a bit of heart went into it.

The time is right
Your perfume fills my head
The stars get red
And oh the night's so blue!

And then softening it up from the dramatic climb to tilt his head toward Quinn and smile as he, with a bit of bashfulness for both the lyrics and the abandon given to song:

And then I go and spoil it all
By saying something stupid
Like I love you...

Like I love you
I love you...

This was the showy bit, but it still wasn't a terribly showy song. Still, Quinn's pleased smile of pride at having gotten through it was showy.

She took Alexander's hand again and leaned into a curtsy.

... as well as she could curtsy in go-go boots and a miniskirt, anyhow.

It might not have made for a typical curtsy, no, but it was certainly cute, and Alexander grinned a he held Quinn's hand with one of his own, while the other tipped his hat with a little bow to match her curtsy.

And felt immensely relieved. They'd gotten through it and he didn't screw it up, either. Huzzah!
