So I know that I shouldn't be starting another story right now, but this duet was the only good thing about that episode (beside the Yoda that is Quinn). I found myself thinking about what it would be like if Rachel showed up to defend her bestfriends instead of Santana. It's a oneshot for now, although I have an idea of how to expand it if anyone is interested. I'll continue to update my other stories daily. Rachel's words are in italics, Sebastian's are in bold, their parts together are in both. There is some swearing and mild sexual references, so if that offends you than you might want to stop reading here.

I own nothing.

Rachel straightened her hat before strutting into the Dalton Academy. She ignored the stares that trailed in her wake as she marched towards the Warbler's practice lounge with purpose. Throwing open the doors she walked in like she owned the place and stopped just short of the arrogant and attractive Sebastian Smythe. The Warblers turned and faced Rachel in surprise. She ignored their looks of confusion and the way most eyes trailed up and down her body. Damn Santana for insisting on this outfit.

"Smythe." Rachel addressed him coldly.

"Well if it isn't the beautiful Rachel Berry. You're famous around here...for your talent among other things," His voice lilted mockingly as his eyes swept over her petit frame. "What can I do for you?"

"I'd like it if you'd tell me what you placed in the slushy you threw in Blaine's face." Her expression remained calm as the Warblers laughed in response.

"Why would that matter?" He asked with a laugh.

"Blaine is on his way to Columbus for emergency surgery as we speak. The doctors here aren't qualified to fix his sight. They said the cut to his cornea might blind him." She said through gritted teeth.

She watched with some satisfaction as all of the Warblers' faces showed shock and guilt. Sebastian's reaction was the most interesting of all. His confidence left him for a moment as he muttered something about it being meant for Kurt.

"He really might go blind?" One of Warblers asked for the rest of the group.

Rachel turned away from Sebastian and turned to the group of Warblers with a steely expression.

"Yes." She answered harshly.

"It was all Seb's idea!" yelled one of the Warblers.

Rachel glared at the traitorous idiot before shoving a finger into his chest.

"Sebastian was always just a slimy jerk who was trying to steal Blaine from his boyfriend," She said as she shot a snarky glance at Sebastian whose confidence came back with a vengeance. "But Blaine's spent the last year telling all of us about how great Dalton was and how much he missed his friends. He talked about each of you by name and said he was so blessed to have friends like you. I'm sure the fact that Sebastian came up with the idea will ease the betrayal of what the rest of you did, you idiot. I'm sure he'll believe that you were forced into betraying him and almost blinding him. The fact that his 'friends' went along with the hurtful scheme of the new kid won't bother him at all" She finished sarcastically.

The boys all recoiled at the bite in her voice and one began to cry.

"It's too bad that Blaine was wrong about Dalton being a non- bullying environment," She sneered when she saw the way their shoulders slumped. "Now get out. I'm here for Sebastian, I have no time for spineless morons."

The Warblers are filed out in shock with guilty consciences. Rachel watched as they left before turning back towards Sebastian.

"I've heard a lot about you Berry. No one told me you were such a nasty bitch." He said angrily.

"No one here has ever given me a reason to be one before now," She snarled as she stepped closer to the handsome singer. "Although even before the incident this morning I had planned on telling you to Fuck off."

Sebastian took a step back in surprise and tried to remember everything that Blaine had mentioned about the girl.

"Fuck off? Interesting language for the walking dictionary. You kiss your boyfriend with that mouth?"

"Back off Smythe. You shouldn't have been chasing Blaine in the first place and what you did this morning was not only atrocious but illegal. Consider yourself lucky that I showed up and not Noah or Sam. Noah has a permanent record and he assured me that he would LOVE to rearrange your face."

"What do you want Ms. Berry?" Sebastian asked wearily.

"A duel. You cheated this morning and you don't have the talent to beat me one on one." She challenged.

"You're on."

Rachel nodded to the Cellists sitting in the center of the room and they began to play.

Rachel glared as he held up a hand and sang. Whatever happened to ladies first? Pig.

Uh, as he came into the window
It was the sound of a crescendo, uh!
He came into her apartment
He left the bloodstains on the carpet, uh!

Rachel stood her ground as he circled her arrogantly.

She ran underneath the table
He could see she was unable
So she ran into the bedroom
She was struck down
It was her doom

Annie are you OK?

Rachel began to circle the room as well as she began to sing the chorus with him.

So, Annie are you OK?

Are you OK, Annie?

Annie are you OK?

So, Annie are you OK?

Are you OK, Annie?

Annie are you OK?

So, Annie are you OK?

Are you OK, Annie?

Annie are you OK?

So, Annie are you OK?

The two teens circled each other getting closer before Rachel shoved at his chest as she joined him for the chorus.

Are you OK, Annie?
Annie are you OK?
Will you tell us that you're OK (uh!)
There's a sign in the window
That he struck you - A crescendo Annie
He came into your apartment
He left the bloodstains on the carpet (uh!)
Then you ran into the bedroom
You were struck down
It was your doom

Rachel resisted the urge to step backwards as he stalked towards her, lifting her chin and stepping towards him instead.

Annie are you OK?

So, Annie are you OK?

Are you OK Annie?

Annie are you OK?

So, Annie are you OK?

Are you OK Annie?

Annie are you OK?

So, Annie are you OK?

Are you OK Annie?

Sebastian marvelled at the way their voices blended together. The girl could sing, not that he'd ever admit it.

So they came into the outway
It was Sunday - What a black day, uh!
Mouth to mouth resuscitation
Sounding heartbeats - Intimidations
Annie are you OK?

Rachel did her best not to admire his voice. Santana had told her to be fierce.

So, Annie are you OK?

Are you OK Annie?

Annie are you OK?

So, Annie are you OK?

Are you OK Annie?

Annie are you OK?

So, Annie are you OK?

Are you OK Annie?

Annie are you OK?

So, Annie are you OK?

The Cellist's strings were starting to fray as the teens faced off.

Annie are you OK?
Will you tell us that you're OK
There's a sign in the window
That he struck you - A crescendo Annie
He came into your apartment
He left the bloodstains on the carpet, uh!
Then you ran into the bedroom
You were struck down
It was your doom

Annie are you OK?
Are you OK Annie?

Their eyes met from across the room before Rachel threw her hands up in the air and closed her eyes as she hit the high notes.

I don't know!
(Annie are you OK, Will you tell us, that you're OK)
I don't know!
(There's a sign in the window)
I don't know!
(That he struck you - A crescendo Annie)
I don't know!
(He came into your apartment)
I don't know!
(Left bloodstains on the carpet)
I don't know why baby!
(Then you ran into the bedroom)
I don't know!
(You were struck down
It was your doom - Annie!)
(Annie are you OK?)
Dang, gone it - Baby!
(Will you tell us, that you're OK)
Dang, gone it - Baby!
(There's a sign in the window)
Dang, gone it - baby!
(That he struck you - A crescendo Annie)
Hoo! Hoo!
(He came into your apartment)
Dang, gone it!
(Left bloodstains on the carpet, uh!)
Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
(Then you ran into the bedroom)
Dang gone it!

They finished the last note together chest to chest. Sebastian's hand was gripping her hip as they both fought for breath.

Rachel had always said that singing was a natural aphrodisiac especially with the right partner. The chemistry between the two of them was intoxicating. She fought the urge to rub her thighs together as a wave of desire pooled in her belly. Reminding herself that he was gay and that she had a boyfriend she tried to catch her breath. Her eyes lifted to his and the heated look in his eyes caused her to shift in surprise against him. She froze instantly when his fingers tightened on her hip with a hiss escaping his mouth as she felt something hard against her stomach. Her eyes trailed down his toned body to the obvious bulge in his pants and felt the heat rushing through her veins. Her dark eyes met his once again as she placed her hands on his chest. Licking her lips she found her eyes wandering to his mouth. Rachel was about 2 seconds away from making a very bad decision when an awkward cough startled them both.

Rachel whipped her head towards the Cellists who were awkwardly staring at the floor. Realising what she had almost done (and with witnesses no less!) she stumbled backwards out of Sebastian's grip and almost tripped over the chair behind her. Sebastian reached out quickly and grabbed her again trying to steady her. Rachel marvelled at the way she could feel the heat of his hands through the jacket. She straightened her posture and turned out of his grasp and walked out of the room wordlessly. She walked past the waiting Warblers without a glance, fighting the urge to run until she was out of the building.

Let me know what you think. I'm not sure about adding more to it.
