Prologue.

"Repeat after me..."

It seemed to Will as is this just about summed up his life at the moment. Yes, he had Emma and the glee kids, but it all seemed to be the same, day after day. Every day, he'd drive to work with Emma, teach five or six classes, probably have an argument or two with Sue in-between, and then go to glee rehearsal. He was waiting for something different or unexpected to come along and mix things around a little. He didn't want anything too dramatic; he was happier now than he could remember for a long time, but he wanted something to sneak up and making things interesting.

A small knock on the door momentarily distracted him from his thoughts. He looked around and saw a girl standing there, looking timid in blue jeans, a red chequered shirt and glasses with dark frames.

"Can I help you?" Will asked, taking a step towards her. The girl nervously shifted the folders in her arms and pushed her glasses slightly up her nose to frame her china blue eyes, twiddling a thick ringlet of rich dark hair as she consulted a piece of paper in her hand quickly.

"I'm looking for Spanish." She told him quietly, and Will found himself surprised by her accent. It took him a minute to recognise it as British, maybe Australian.

"You found it," Will replied with a warm, encouraging smile. The girl pretty much screamed 'New Student' "Come in."

Will showed her to an empty desk and directed the rest of the sophomore class with work to complete before pulling up a chair next to the new student.

"Ok," he said, pulling forward his register "What's your name?"

"Nikki Winters." She told him in a small voice. Yep, British Will thought.

"Hi Nikki. I'm Mr Shuester." He greeted her kindly "Have you learnt Spanish before?" he questioned, because Nikki would not have been the first new student sent to him with no prior knowledge of the language.

"sí" She answered, and Will smiled again. That would make his job so much easier.

"How long ago did you start to learn it?"

"Since I was about four." Will unintentionally let his jaw drop. It was as if he had been sent the miracle child of new students.

"My parents are big on the whole bilingual thing" she explained to his bewildered expression.

"That's fantastic!" Will exclaimed, getting up to retrieve a fresh work booklet for her begin working on. He quickly explained to her the expectations of the class, though he had no doubts that she would be fine if she'd been learning the language for twelve years. That was longer than he had.

As he returned to his desk to begin tackling the mountain of papers he had to grade, he watched Nikki pull out the white cords of earphones and slip them into her ears. He had no objection to the students listening to music while they worked, so he didn't say anything to her about it.

After around twenty minutes, after growing bored and irritated by marking the papers, Will decided to take a wander around the room. He would make a few laps, make sure no one needed his help, and then he would return to grading, though he hated it.

Will walked slowly around the classroom several times, and to his great disappointment, no one needed him. It was a shame; Will would have given anything to avoid the stack of papers waiting to be graded.

It was then that he heard it. The sound was so small that he wasn't even sure it was really there at first. But then he heard it again, and he hadn't been mistaken. It was singing...

He quickly scanned the room to search for the voice, and soon identified it as Nikki. He slowly wandered over, hoping to get a better listen before she stopped.

"...'cause I don't want to let you go, and I don't want to lose you slowly..."

Will was pleasantly surprised. Her voice was soft and melodic, but strong and unflawed at the same time. He was intrigued, and it was so low, Will wondered how he had even picked it up. He doubted that the student in the next desk could even hear her. Will could tell she was completely immersed in her music, so to get her attention, Will gently tapped her on the shoulder. The action made Nikki jump, and she snatched the earphones out and stared at him, slightly astonished.

"Can I see you after class please Nikki?" He asked almost inaudibly, not wanting any of the other students to hear and embarrass her. Nikki nodded slowly, looking terrified.

It wasn't long until the bell rang to signify the end of the lesson, and the students quickly packed up and piled out. When Nikki was the only one who remained, Will shut the door and perched on the edge of his desk.

"I heard you singing." He told her, and her eyes widened slightly.

"I'm so sorry Mr Shuester. I didn't even realise-" she began, her face flushing a violent crimson, but Will held up a hand to stop her.

"You're very good."

"T...thank you." She stammered, suddenly extremely self-conscious.

"What were you singing?" he asked. The song was kind of familiar, but he wasn't sure what it was.

"Hanson. 'Georgia'." She replied, smiling awkwardly.

"Hanson? I loved them when I was growing up." Will told her, and she seemed to relax slightly. But only slightly.

"They're my guilty pleasure." Nikki admitted, rubbing her arms.

"You know," Will started "I run the Glee club here."

"Glee club? Isn't that show choir?"

"Yes. I think you'd be amazing in our group."

"I don't know Mr Shuester..." Nikki mumbled, looking down and inspecting her shoes. "I've never really sung in front of anyone before..."

"It's ok." Will assured her. "You don't have to decide right away. If you want, you can come and watch for a few days first."

She still looked unsure so he added "You have talent Nikki. I heard it after just two lines of a song. If you come a few times, and you really don't want to join, I won't try and make you again. Deal?"

After a long minute of 'umm'ing and 'ahhh'ing, Nikki finally agreed.

"Ok." She murmured. Will could tell that she wasn't completely comfortable with the choice, but he was fairly confident that they could change her mind.

"Ok? Alright, we meet in the music room, just down the hall." He told her, sounding a little excited. He couldn't wait to hear the girls range, as he suspected it would a good one. "I'll see you at two forty-five."

When Nikki said goodbye and left the room, Will couldn't help but think that things were about to get a little mixed up. Hello unexpected...
