Chapter 1 - A New Beginning

Tomorrow, the school will start again after the summer break. It was Sunday evening and Will laid in his bed with his arms around Emma, his wife, who laid closely next to him with her head on his chest. They watched the news together.

"Emma?" Will said.

"Yes Honey." she answered.

He turned around to look at her. "I thought about starting Glee again, but I'm not sure if that's a good idea." He smiled. "What does my guidance counselor thinks?"

"She thinks, that you should really try it." She smiled too.

"But what if there is no one who wants to join, or Sue starts to stress again, or what if-"

"Hey. Don't worry. You can do this. I believe in you." Emma turned around and kissed his forehead.

Will smiled again. "Thank you."

"For what?" Emma said confused.

"For everything. I love you, Em." Will smiled and kissed her back.

"I love you too." she said, before cuddling into him.

After a while, they were stuck in kissing and cuddling, that they didn't even noticed how Grace, their daughter, entered their room. The six years old girl climbed on her parents bed and smiled at seeing her parents so in love. She climbed to her daddy and tapped on his shoulder. The parents looked up and noticed their little girl.

"Hey what's up, Pumpkin?" Emma asked, smiling to see her girl.

Grace was close to cry. "I can't find Patches. I searched everywhere, but I can't find him and I have no idea, where he could be." She started to cry.

"Oh, don't cry Gracy. We'll find your teddy bear, I promise." Will said, while pulling Grace into his arms and wiping away her tears, which rolled down at her cheek. "So, come on Grace. Let's start searching." Will got up. He picked up his daughter and pulled her into his arms.

Emma wanted to get up to, but Will stopped her. "Lay down, Em. I search it with her alone. You need to take a rest."

She laid back down and he kissed her forehead, before getting out of the room.

Will let Grace back on the ground and took her by her hand. They went into her room and looked in her bed first. When they couldn't find the teddy bear, they looked in her wardrobe and her toy boxes, but the girls favorite teddy bear wasn't there. They searched in the whole house, but Patches was still missing. Will had absolutely no idea, where it could be.

Grace was close to cry again. "Daddy, do you think we forgot him at Grandma and Grandpa?"

Will got an idea, where the missing teddy could be. "Lay down in your bed. I'm right back." he told her.

"Okay, hurry up." She went into her room and laid down in her bed. She grabbed a CD of Spongebob Squarepants and put it into her player. The girl turned off the light and waited for her daddy to return.

Will took his car key and went out of the house. He went to the garage and unlocked his car. He opened the door and looked at Grace's booster seat. Patches laid next to the booster. Grace forgot to take him out of the car after their visit at his parents this morning. Will took the teddy bear and closed the door. He locked the car and went back in the house, in Grace's room.

"Is someone missing a teddy bear?" he asked.

Grace went out of her room and looked at her father. She saw Patches in his hand and ran towards him. "Patches." she shouted.

"Shh, Gracy. Mommy wants to sleep." Will told her.

"Sorry Daddy." Grace said. She took her teddy bear in her arms. "Thank you for finding him."

"Don't mention it. I do everything to make my little girl happy. Now, go to bed. You have to go to kindergarten tomorrow." He said.

Grace laid down in her bed again, Patches by her side. "Good night Daddy." she said.

"Good night Princess." Will said and turned off the light. He went back into his bedroom.

"You found Patches?" Emma asked.

Will thought she was already asleep so he was surprised to see her still awake. "Yeah. Gracy forgot him in the car."

She smiled. "She always forget her stuff in the car."

"Why didn't you tell me that before I searched in the whole house." He asked.

"You told me to take a rest, so I thought I don't need to tell you." She smiled.

"Sassy girl." He said. "Let's sleep." He turned off the light and laid down close to Emma. "Good night honey." He kissed her cheek and they slept in a few minutes later.

The alarm clock rang. Will turned it off and turned around to his still sleeping wife. He pulled his arms around her and kissed her forehead. "Good morning Sleepyhead."

Emma moaned tortured. "I don't want to get up." She opened her eyes slowly and looked at Will.

"Come on, or do you want to come too late to school. That's not Emma like." He smiled. "I'll go into the bathroom right now, so you can sleep until I'm back." He bent down and kissed her again.

"Thank you." She pulled the covers over again and closed her eyes.

Will walked into the bathroom and took a shower. He changed into his clothes and then went back into his bedroom.

"Now, out of the bed." He pulled the covers away. He pulled Emma over his shoulder and carried her into the bedroom, where he let her down carefully. "I do breakfast." He went out of the bathroom.

A few minutes later, when Emma walked into the kitchen the breakfast was already made. Will was preparing lunchboxes of him, his wife and his children.

Grace and David went into the kitchen.

"Good morning." David said. He sat on a chair and ate a toast with peanut butter.

"Today is the big day Will." Emma said.

"Yeah. I hope some students want to join glee club."

Emma took his hand. "Hey. Don't worry Sweetheart. You have always have found some and I'm sure David is going to join too."

"Yeah sure. But I want to be the captain, okay Dad?"

"Umm, okay. But You're captain with a girl. It's always a girl and a boy. And, you have to sing with me today."

"Umm, okay. And when and where?" the teenager asked.

"In the first break at the schoolyard." He looked at his watch. "Anyways, I think it's time to go."

He walked to the wardrobe and took out his and his children jackets and his wife's coat. They took their bags and lunchboxes and went out of the house.

A few minutes later, their car stopped at the kindergarten. Emma and Grace got out of the car. They walked into the building.

"Hello Grace." Grace's best friend Jason waved.

"Hey JayJay." Grace said and ran to him. "Bye Mommy." she shouted and Emma went out of the kindergarten and back in the car.

They arrived at school and got greetings by Sue, who arrived at the same time. "Happy New School Year. Good morning Butt Chin. Good morning Ginger. Good morning Baby Will."

David went into the school building.

"Umm, Sue don't you usually park on your private parking lot?" Emma asked.

"Yes Emilia, but a nerd of the chess club parked there today, so I'm going to complain at Figgins." Sue explained.

"How do you know, it's a student from the chess club?" Will asked confused.

"There is a sticker on his car, saying Chess is my life." With these words, she left the conversation and went into the High School.

The couple looked confused at each other and shook their heads. Then, they went into the school too.

Many students walked already through the halls of William McKinley High.

Suddenly, a speech came through the speakers of the school. You could tell, that it was Principal Figgins' voice: "Dear students, welcome to another exciting year here at William McKinley High School. In my name, I want to wish you a successful new school year. Besides, the driver of the white Opel Corsa D Sport with a Chess is my life sticker has to place his car on an other parking lot. You placed your car on Coach Sylvester's private parking lot. If the car isn't placed on an other parking lot within ten minutes, the car is being towed with costs. Thanks for your attention."

Emma grinned at Will and shook her head. "Sue has did it again. I ask myself how she has bribed Figgins this time."

Will now also grinned. "This is unbelievable. I'll never understand this woman. Well, I go to Figgins now. See you later." They shared a kiss and he went into Principal Figgins' office.

"Hello Principal Figgins. I wanted to ask you something." Will said.

"Sure William. Take a seat." he told him.

Will did so. "I'm thinking of doing the Glee Club again. I mean, if that's okay."

"Sure William. It's okay." he answered.

"Okay. Thank you." He stood up. "Bye." he said and went out of the office.

Will walked to the bulletin board and pinned a flyer, a red paper with a big lettering saying Join Glee Club, on the wall. Under the big lettering was a text.

Glee Club, called the New Directions.

Will Schuester

Sign in here:

The time had passed fast. It was the first break and Will and David met on the schoolyard. Will had gotten a ghetto blaster from the choir room. He placed it on a free table and pressed the play button, so that the instrumental playback started. Then Will started singing.

"This time he's gonna wear an iron suit. This time she's gonna fix her heart and make it bullet proof. He says he's gonna take a bite from the forbidden fruit. She says never never bight more than you can chew. But this time he's not gonna be another could've been. This time she's gonna get real, love the skin she's in. She says a winner never quits, quitters never win. She said this time that she is built to face anything. This time he's gonna step for who he is. This time she's gonna live to work, she's not working to live. He says just because you say it's true, it don't mean it is. She says it seems too good to be true, well then it probably is. This time he's hell bent yeah he's heaven bound. This time she's gonna pick herself up no more breaking down. He says he's gonna turn the wheel, turn this shit around. She says if he's looking for love then she don't want to be found."

They got attention from many students, who looked at them. Some confused. Some interested. And some repellent, who wanted them to stop.

"When you shoot across the sky like a broken arrow. It's so hard to keep yourself on the straight and narrow. When you shoot across the sky like a broken arrow. It's all I've got. Yeah when you hit the ground. It's hard to get to heaven when you're falling hell bound. Every break, every burn, every toss, every turn, every sin,
anything you've learned all programed. Every break, every burn, every toss, every turn, every sin,
everything we've learned all programed. When you shoot across the sky like a broken arrow. It's so hard to keep yourself on the straight and narrow. When you shoot across the sky like a broken arrow. It's all I've got. Yeah when you hit the ground. It's hard to get to heaven when you're falling hell bound."

Many students clapped at the end. Will and David weren't sure if they clapped, because it was good or because it was finally over.

"I hope, some of you got interested to join the glee club by this song. We need members, so if you're interested you can sign on the list on the bulletin board. Auditions are the whole week at 3pm at April Rhodes Civil Pavilion. Thanks." the teacher said.

The bell rang and the students went to their next lessons.

Sue walked through the halls to get to her office, a coffee in one hand and a megaphone in the other. She stopped at the bulletin board. The flyer of the Glee Club had caught her eyes. She looked at the flyer and couldn't suppress a laugh. Not a single student had written his name down the sign in here lettering. It was fantastic. With one member, his stupid looking son with the pudding-basin haircut, it wasn't possibly open the Glee Club.

So it would all remain as it is. The Cheerios still on top of the popularity and glamor and Schuester would slowly but surely give up his job as a teacher.

Sue could not longer look at the flyer. The bright color hurt in her eyes and gave her a headache.

She noticed a girl, who walked up to the flyer and pulled out a pen. She wasn't about to write down her name under the sign here lettering, was she? She was.

Sue read the name, the girl wrote down the list. Jordan Hudson it says. She quickly began to understand. "Haven't your parents told you, that joining the Glee Club is the one way ticket to Lima Losertown?"

"Umm." the girl was confused. "What do you mean Miss?"

"You're the daughter of Barbra Streisand and The Gravy Bloaty Clown, aren't you?"

Jordan didn't understand what the coach wanted. "What?"

"Oh, I see, you didn't understand. You're not that smart. So Jordan. I'll try to explain. You are the daughter of Rachel and Finn." Sue said.

"Umm, yes. And?" Jordan answered, still a bit confused.

"Anyways. I'll help you to maintain your popularity or to be popular. You just have to join the Cheerios."

"Umm okay, but I have to think about it."

"Why do you have to think about it first? This is an unique opportunity. Everyone wants to be a Cheerio, but only who has star potential is able to join. And you have star potential. Believe me. You have time to think about it until tomorrow. " Sue turned around. "Goodbye Miss Cheekbones Like Kate Moss. Have fun with Macaroni Hair." Then, she was gone.

At 3pm Will and David were at the April Rhodes Civil Pavilion. Auditions have started. Will looked at the list. Only two names were on the paper, Jordan Hudson and Mikayla Lopez-Pierce. Will knew them. Jordan is the youngest daughter of Rachel and Finn and Mikayla is the adoptive daughter of Brittany and Santana.

"First is Jordan Hudson." David said.

Jordan went into the auditorium and walked on the stage. "Hey I'm Jordan Hudson."

"Hey Jordan." David said.

Jordan was surprised to see David sitting next to his father and her Spanish teacher. "Umm, hey David, hey Mr Schue." Jordan likes David a lot. She thinks, he is a nice guy and is pretty cute.

"Hey Jordan, what do you want to sing?" Will said.

"I'm going to sing Closer by Tegan and Sara." she explained.

"Okay. Then you can start." the teacher said.

Jordan began to sing. "All I want to get is a little bit closer. All I want to know is, can you come a little closer?Here comes the breath before we get a little bit closer. Here comes the rush before we touch, come a little closer. The doors are open, the wind is really blowing. The night sky is changing overhead. It's not just all physical. I'm the type who will get oh so critical. So let's make things physical. I won't treat you like you're oh so typical. I want you close, I want you. I won't treat you like you're typical. I want you close, I want you. I won't treat you like you're typical. Here come the dreams of you and me. Here come the dreams. Here come the dreams of you and me. Here come the dreams. It's not just all physical. I'm the type who will get oh so critical. So let's make things physical. I won't treat you like you're oh so typical. I want you close, I want you. I won't treat you like you're typical. I want you close, I want you. I won't treat you like you're typical. I won't treat you like you're typical. I won't treat you like you're typical. All I want to get is a little bit closer. All I want to know is, can you come a little closer?"

"Wow Jordan. That was pretty good." David said.

Will nodded. "Jordan, you have an amazing voice. I'm glad to welcome you to New Directions."

Jordan smiled. "Thanks Mr. Schue. Thanks David. Okay, umm see you tomorrow." She walked from the stage and went out of the auditorium.

A boy walked into the auditorium. "Excuse me. Is this auditions for Glee Club?" he asked.

"Yes, umm what's your name?" David asked.

"I'm Cole Jones. I'm Freshman." Cole answered.

Will took a look at the list. "There isn't a Cole Jones signed for an audition."

"Umm I know. I'm sorry. I haven't signed because I was in hurry and then I forgot, but I really want to join Glee Club. Or is it already too late?" he explained.

"No, absolutely not. Do you have a song?" David asked.

Cole nodded. "Yeah. I do. I want to sing Blood To Bleed by Rise Against."

"Well okay. Get on the stage and show us, what you can." Will said.

Cole walked on the stage. He took a microphone. Before he started to sing, he took a deep breath. Then he started singing. "This place rings with echoes of. Lives once lived but now are lost. Time spent wondering about tomorrow. I don't care if we lose it all tonight. Up in flames, burning bright. Warming the air of the world. "I don't love you anymore" is all I remember you telling me. Never have I felt so cold. But I've no more blood to bleed. 'Cause my heart has been draining into the sea. Still I wait. With a hope inside of me. So still I wait. Until again we meet. Until again we meet. Within my bones this resonates. Boiling blood will circulate. Could you tell me again what you did this for? "I don't love you anymore" is all I remember you telling me. Never have I felt so cold. But I've no more blood to bleed. 'Cause my heart has been draining into the sea. Still I wait. With a hope inside of me. So still I wait."

Will and David clapped. Cole smiled.

„Well, that was great." Will said. „You're in."

„Oh my goodness. Thank you Mr. Schuester." Cole said and left the auditorium.

„Last one is Mikayla Lopez-Pierce." David said.

Mikayla walked in. „Hello." She said and walked on the stage. „Well, I'm Mikayla and I'll be singing No One by Alicia Keys."

„Well, that's a pretty hard song." Will said.

„I know Mr. Schue, but I think I'm good enough to perform this song as good as Alicia did." Mikayla explained.

"Okay. Show us what you got. Show us that perfect performance." David said.

Mikayla took the microphone. She ran her hand through her hair and looked alluring at David. Then she started singing. "I just want you close. Where you can stay forever. You can be sure. That it will only get better. You and me together through the days and nights. I don't worry 'cause everything's gonna be alright. People keep talking they can say what they like. But all I know is everything's gonna be alright. No one, no one, no one. Can get in the way of what I'm feelin'. No one, no one, no one. Can get in the way of what I feel for you. You, you. Can get in the way of what I feel. I know some people search the world."

Mikayla looked anxiously. She had forgotten the text and hummed the next lines of the song.

Will and David looked at each other with a look saying "What is she doing? What happened to her?"

"No one, no one. Can get in the way of what I'm feelin'. No one, no one, no one. Can get in the way of what I feel for you. Oh oh oh oh oh. Oh oh oh oh oh. Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh. Oh oh oh oh oh. Oh oh oh oh oh. Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh."

She looked up and put her hands on her face. She could not believe that she has forgotten the lyrics.

"What happened?" Will asked.

"I do not know. I really do not know. I'm Sorry." Mikayla said in a trembling voice.

"I do not really know, what to do. I mean, it was not as good as Alicia's version, but your voice is pretty good."

"Thank you Mr. Schue." she said.

"And that's what makes my decision so difficult. Imagine we're at Nationals and you're singing a solo and then you forget the lyrics. We could lose because of that."

"Mr. Schue, please, I promise I'll never ever forget the lyrics again if I can join glee club. Please Mr. Schue, I want this so bad, I want to become a star someday."
