Hello there. Thank you for choosing this fanfiction.
This is a joint account. To keep our identity private we will be using code names that have our favorite Glee characters last name. So the authors for this fanfiction are GleekAnderson and GleekPierceLopez. GleekAnderson writes most episodes. If GleekPierceLopez is the author then we will let you know. She is also writing our two original songs for Nationals. A special thanks to GleekSylvester who did the editing for all our chapters.
This fanfiction is how we would like Glee Season 3 to go. We are not using clips from any of the promos or any spoilers. This is all our imagination. We will be updating every week on Mondays. We started this week so that we are always one week ahead of actual Glee. Just one note on the fanfiction: if the words are in italic it means it's a characters interior monologue. There will be some real fun tribute episodes in the second half of the season! We are also introducing 6 new characters. We do not own Glee or any of these songs.
We hope that you enjoy this fanfiction.
An old blue car pulled into the Mckinley high school parking lot. Will Schuester smiled and waved at some passing students that he had in Spanish class. He found his regular parking spot and parked. His license plate read GLEE. As he exit his car, he found that he was surrounded by a large group of people. He smiled as he recognized his family. He laughed as the Glee Club pulled him into a large group hug. There were many calls of "welcome back" from the group of students. They were all there, every one of his favorite students. Rachel Berry and Finn Hudson held hands, as did Mike Chang and Tina Cohen Chang. Brittany S. Pierce pushed the wheel chair that held Artie Abrams. Noah "Puck" Puckerman stood alone. Lauren Zizes was absent because she had transferred at the last minute. No one knew why and was unable to contact her. Mercedes Jones and Sam Evans stood close but not touching. Quinn Fabray and Santana Lopez were in conversation with Kurt Hummel who held a motorcycle helmet. Will took in the sight and knew that this year would be interesting to say the least. And he was confident that they would win Nationals.
- "Who's ready for Nationals 2012?" exclaimed Will. The entire Glee Club roared in approval.
Will walked through the hallways of Mckinley with an animated smile on his face. He passed football coach Shannon Beiste and they high fived.
"Welcome back cowboy!" exclaimed Coach Beiste. They both laughed at the private joke as memories of a drunken Will in a cowboy hat came back to them. Will continued his walk to his office. He greeted Brad the piano man and entered his office beside the Glee room. He turned on the light and stopped dead in his tracks. Sitting in his chair, her legs up on the table was Terri Schuester. His ex-wife looked over and smiled at him.
- "Hello Will" she said briskly standing up. Will took in her appearance. She was wearing a black suit and her blond hair was tied back in a tight painful looking bun. This look was so unlike Terri that Will took a double take. He then realized that Terri had spoken to him and as waiting for an answer.
"Terri what-" started Will but he was cut off.
"I will ask that even though you are my ex husband that you address me like the other teachers. I will be addressed as Principal Delmonica." she said. Will noticed that she had returned to her maiden name. But the full gravity of the title struck him and his eyes widened. "Yes Will, I am the new Principal of Mckinley High."
"What happened to Figgins?" Will raised the obvious question.
"He retired." she said plainly. "Well, Will let's have a little chat." she sat back down in his seat and motioned him to sit opposite her. He took a seat. She pulled out a folder. "I have done a checkup on all the staff at Mckinley. Your teaching file is superb. Many students love you and the faculty thinks that you are a prime educator. But there is one flaw. Glee Club! I noticed in your files that you have failed to place at Regionals two years ago and then again at Nationals last year. The club has not succeeded in bringing honor to Mckinley." Will knew where this conversation was going. He clenched his fists under the table. How dare she come back when everything was working out well, how dare she when the Glee Club was at the top and things were finally working out between him and Emma. How dare she! But Will being the calm human being that he was, answered in the most civil way he could.
"Please Ter- Principal Delmonica," he said wincing at the title. "I do realize these things. My Glee Club has had many issues in the past. It hasn't been easy. But this year I am positive that we will win. The kids now have at least two years of experience. You can't take that away from them. I've seen them grow into strong independent young adults. And for some, this is their final year! Please don't punish them for past misdeeds," he finished with pleading in his tone.
- "Oh no, I have no intention of punishing the students." she said. Will let out a sigh of relief. "But if your Glee Club does not place at nationals, you, Will, will be fired." She said with fire in her eyes. She smirked as Will's eyes widened. She got up grabbing her files and her bag and walked to the door. She turned around. "Nice talking to you Will." she said before turning around and walking away. Watching her leave, Will put his head in his hands in frustration.
Sign-up sheets for various clubs lined the school bulletin board. A group of students were huddled around, signing up for various sports, clubs, and activities. A small girl, no older than 14, squeezed her way to the front. She walked up to the sheet placed in the middle with wide eyes. Picking up the pencil, she signed her name. The dark haired girl produced a set of Gold Star stickers and placed one beside her name. She noticed that the first name on the list had done the same. A girl named Rachel Berry. The little girl ran off, with thoughts clouding her mind. Next, a smartly dressed boy walked up to where the girl had just been. He examined the sheet. Two identical looking girls slipped in behind him. They could only be siblings. They each took it in turn to sign their names. One of the girls moves to sign her name for the Cheerios as the boy signed up for the academic club. The third girl stood waiting patiently. When they were finished they left together. The bell for first period rang. The crowd dispersed. When the crowd thinned a couple hand in hand walked up straight to the Glee sign up sheet. The girl, a short blond, wrote down both their names as the taller boy watched over her. They walked away holding hands leaving the full Glee Club sign up sheet behind them.
Rachel Berry sat on the bleachers of the football field. She watched as her boyfriend Finn Hudson warmed up with the other guys. When he spotted her, he waved. She waved back grinning. She had a boyfriend that she loved, she was a senior, and she was sure that they would take Nationals. Life couldn't be better for Rachel Berry.
"I'm usually never up here." said a female voice behind her. Rachel turned around to see Quinn Fabray sitting a couple bleachers behind her. Quinn smiled at her. "I'm not here to pester you."
"Then why are you here? You've never been my friend and you have stolen the only man that I truly love on multiple occasions. So tell me Quinn, why are you here?" demanded Rachel.
"I'm okay with you and Finn." declared Quinn. Rachel looked up surprised. "You are both so happy together and it's obvious that he truly loves you. Him risking Nationals for it proved that to me. I don't want to get between that." she said looking past Rachel. "You think I'm a selfish, jealous, bitch. But I really do care." Rachel looked up and smiled. Quinn got up to leave.
- "Quinn," said Rachel stopping her. She turned around. "Thank you. I hope that this year we can get along." Quinn just smiled and nodded. She walked away. Rachel turned back to the tryouts, a smile on her face.
Kurt Hummel opened his locker. He returned his books to their position and grabbed his bag, ready to go home. The first day back was satisfying. He had missed his friends over the summer. He looked up at the pictures on his locker door. Blaine's school picture was now joined by a picture of them at prom and one of them from their summer. Kurt and Blaine had spent every minute of summer together. Kurt smiled at the fond memories. Despite it being only the first day of school, he really missed Blaine. He didn't know how he could go a year like this. He snapped out of his dreaming when his phone alerted him of a message. He closed his locker and opened the text.
Finn
Hey Bro! I forgot my sneakers in the locker room could you please go get them? Thanks Bro!
Kurt rolled his eyes at his stepbrother's forgetfulness. He put his phone away and walked to the locker room. He crinkled his nose as the smell of dirty socks and teenage boys reached him. He found the sneakers and turned around to realize that he was in the same spot that Karofsky had kissed him last year. Cringing, he made his way to leave but was stopped in his tracks when he heard singing. It was coming from deeper within the changing room. The singing was phenomenal and oddly familiar. He stepped closer. Kurt registered the sound of water and realized that whoever it was was singing in the shower. Classy. He turned the corner and stopped in his tracks. Standing in the shower, singing into a shampoo bottle was his boyfriend Blaine Anderson.
I'll see my friends gonna laugh till we cry
Take my firebolt gonna take to the sky.
No way this year anyone gonna die
And its gonna be totally awesome.
I'll cast some spells with the flick of my wand.
Defeat the dark arts
Yeah Bring it On!
Kurt didn't catch the rest cause he was laughing so hard at his boyfriend's nerdiness. He made his way back to the entrance and searched for Blaine's locker. Finding it, he leaned against it. A small smile crept on his lips at the though of Blaine's reaction while the other part of his brain was whizzing with love. Blaine had come for him. He had left the glory of Dalton to be with him. Kurt's smile grew larger. Finally, the sounds of water stopped and Kurt held his breath. Sound of footsteps approached. Suddenly Blaine rounded the corner shirtless and wearing jeans. He stopped dead in his tracks at he stared wide-eyed at Kurt.
- "Hey hot stuff," smirked Kurt. "You new here?" Blaine let out a small chuckle. The lovers looked at one another for a split second before they were both striding towards each other to meet in a passionate embrace.
The returning Glee Club of 2011, sat in the auditorium chatting away. They had all of course been welcomed back right away. Everyone was really exited at the number of new students auditioning. The new kids sat scattered in the auditorium, warming up vocally, or chatting. Blaine sat with Kurt and the New Directions. The New Directions knew he could sing and they insisted that he didn't have to audition. But he wanted to enter fairly so he was auditioning. Mr. Schue sat at the table in the middle of the auditorium. He called the attention of the group and they settled down.
"Ok, hello everyone. For those who don't know me I am Will Schuester and I am the coach of the Glee Club. For our new members we are very excited to hear you sing. We always welcome fresh talent and we anticipate what you have to bring to our club. So on that note, our first audition is Lana Kramer." A small dark haired girl walked up to the stage head high. She reached the microphone and took a breath.
- "Hi my name is Lana Kramer and I am a freshman here at Mckinley. I just moved here from New York. I will be singing an extract from the song Thank Goodness from the musical Wicked." Rachel Berry perked up quite at this. She looked at Kurt who looked equally as excited.
"Fantastic Lana." Said Mr. Schue, indicating her to start. The young girl opened her mouth and the most beautiful voice came out.
I couldn't be happier
No I couldn't be happier
Though it is I admit
The tiniest bit
Unlike I anticipated
My life has been perfect in almost every way. I was born to sing as my mother is a famous journalist for Broadway! Even as a small child I was brought to multiple performances all around New York. By the time I was eight, I knew all the lyrics to every renowned Broadway show tune and I could fill in for Glinda in Wicked almost any day. Mother and I are very close and have spent every breathing minute together. Until now. But I couldn't be happier
Simply couldn't be happier
Well not simply
Cause getting your dreams
It's strange but it seems
A little well complicated
There's a kinda of sorta cost
There's a couple of things get lost
There are bridges you cross
That you didn't know you crossed
Until you crossed
I never knew my father. And I know nothing about him. Just that he wasn't there. Recently, Mother started dating some guy named Erin. We don't get along. He's the reason I'm at this excuse of a school. I was home schooled so this is a first. I'm not afraid though. I will make every moment worth it. So why not join Glee Club?
And if that joy that thrill
Doesn't thrill like you think it will
Still with this perfect finale
The cheers in the valley
Who wouldn't be happier?
So I couldn't be happier
Because happy is what happens
When all your dreams come true
Well isn't it?
Happy is what happens
When all your dreams
Come true!
She let the last not hover in the silence. The auditorium broke into claps and cheers. Rachel and Kurt stood and clapped with tears in their eyes.
"Well Lana I have four words for you: Welcome to Glee Club!" she broke into a huge smile as the group cheered again. She made her way back to the seats but this time she joined the already formed Glee Club. Lana got many taps on the back and encouraging smiles as she sat beside Rachel. The Glee Club star smiled at the young girl.
- "Ok next we have Amy, Austin, and Astrid who will be performing together." The three siblings got up and walked to the stage. Each one went to an instrument. One girl went to the guitar while the other went to the drums. The boy went to the piano. The boy in turn spoke up.
" Hi I'm Austin and these are my triplets Amy and Astrid. We just transfered here from Winnipeg."
"Wait" interrupted Blaine. "Isn't that in Canada?"
- " Yah our parents travel a lot." said Austin. "Anyways we're gonna perform Jumpstart by These Kids Wear Crowns." The audience members looked confused. "They are a Canadian band," clarified Austin. The audience nodded. The triplets turned to their instruments and the music began to play. The girl named Amy started.
Dreams
We got enough that we can fill the tank
And even if we gotta' break the bank
You know we're gonna turn it up, turn it up turn it up
Time
Ain't got to worry bout' it anymore
And if they try to stop us at the door
You know we're gonna
break it down, break it down, break it down
We gotta' get up off of the ground
Times were hard for us. But whatever happened we always stuck together. The big problem was our parents. Total academic freaks, we were expected to follow there legacy. They are famous teachers who travel around the world for speeches and lectures. We have moved around so much that its even unthinkable for us to unpack. We should hope that maybe this time we will stay longer. But we've learned that hoping it useless. The boy Austin took the chorus.
We're gonna give it a jumpstart
4,3,2,1 go! what's up, when we get it going
No way we're gonna stop.
And all you need is a spark, spark
If it's all that you got got got got got
We're gonna give it a jumpstart
4,3,2,1 go! What's up?
We're gonna dance until our l-legs go into shock
Like an adrenaline shot shot going straight to the heart
heart heart heart heart
We're gonna give it a jump!
Our parents are not supportive of the arts. They thought that this music stage would pass and that we would go back to being boring academic children. But we knew better. Once we discovered music and our love for it, we know that its our future. It will never leave us and we will never let go of it. So now the only problem is what is standing in our way. Astrid sang the bridge.
Can you feel the electricity in the air
Anytime, anyplace, it will always be there.
When your heart stops baby, heart stops baby
yeaaaaaaaaah!
We're gonna give it a jumpstart
4,3,2,1 go! what's up, when we get it going
No way we're gonna stop.
And all you need is a spark, spark
If it's all that you got got got got got
We're gonna give it a jump!
At the end of the song, the triplets were greeted with applause. They bowed and smiled and then looked at Mr. Schue for verdict
"Great job you guys! You are all very musically talented. I can't wait to see the new music that you can bring to our club. Welcome." The triplets broke into identical grins. They all took a seat next to Brittany who smiled at them and began to babble away but she was cut off by Mr. Schue.
- "Ok so next we have Lauren Cissa and Jack Walker who are also performing together." The small blonde girl got up and was followed by a taller handsome male who took her hand. There was something about the couple that threw the Glee Club off. They looked slightly older then they claimed to be. Dark circles surrounded the couples eyes and they just looked tired and worn out. As they reached the stage however they took a deep breath and relaxed a bit. They took two microphones and set themselves up for their duet.
It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live
Life has been anything but easy for me. I feel in love early on. I met Jack Walker in elementary school and was smitten with him immediately. We started dating in grade six. My parents thought it was some ridiculous crush or a way to get attention. It wasn't either of those things. It was love. Jack and I were inseparable and no fight or bump in our relationship could break us apart. Then in grade nine, I got pregnant. Surprisingly, it wasn't an accident. My parents freaked and so did his. We were both kicked out and disowned. We knew we couldn't stay so we fled to Canada to have our child. And after he was born we moved here. With our little boy. There was never a question about keeping it. We always wanted him and never regretted the choice.
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
So we missed a year and a half of school, having and raising the baby. Now that Harry's old enough, we can leave him with someone else. Which means back to school for me and Lauren. We have to redo the tenth grade. I don't really mind. It doesn't conflict with our jobs. But I don't want it to be boring. So I convinced Lauren to join Glee Club. We sang a lot to Harry and learned that we both sing pretty well. So why not use that talent?
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
They finished the song together holding hands. The crowd applauded and the couple beamed at each other.
"Great song choice! I love Elton John!" said Mr. Schue. The Glee Club laughed and nodded their heads. "You guys have awesome voices and the emotion in that song was wonderful to see. And we love a performance so welcome to the club!" Jack and Lauren hugged and walked off stage joining the Glee Club. "Ok last but certainly not least, Blaine." Blaine gave a quick peck on the cheek to Kurt and walked on stage. He sat at the piano.
"I was really inspired and impressed by your original songs at Regionals." At this the Glee Club smiled and hooted in agreement. The new members looked around impressed. "So i decided to try my hand at songwriting."
"Fantastic Blaine! Let's hear it." Blaine started to play some notes on the piano and began to sing.
I've been alone
Surrounded by darkness
I've seen how heartless
The world can be
I've seen you crying
You felt like it's hopeless
I'll always do my best
To make you see
Baby, you're not alone
Cause you're here with me
And nothing's ever gonna bring us down
Cause nothing can keep me from lovin' you
And you know it's true
It don't matter what'll come to be
Our love is all we need to make it through
When i told Kurt that I loved him and he told me the same back, I knew I couldn't stay a year without him. So I talked to my parents. It took some lying and convincing but eventually they caved. My grades were slipping anyways. I could never get Kurt out of my head. The Warblers noticed it too. They couldn't get a decent song out of me. Still they kinda lost it when I told them. Wes smashed his gavel in half as Thad screamed insults at me. They were losing their best singer to a rival show choir. But eventually they came around. They understood why and for who I was doing this. And how could they stay mad, they spent months on end trying to get Kurt and I together. It was hard to say goodbye. Especially to Wes and David. But I know I'm doing the right thing.
I still have trouble
I trip and stumble
Trying to make sense of things sometimes
I look for reasons
But I don't need 'em
All I need is to look in your eyes
And I realize
Baby I'm not alone
Cause you're here with me
And nothing's ever gonna take us down
Cause nothing can keep me from lovin' you
And you know it's true
It don't matter what'll come to be
Our love is all we need to make it through, ooh
Cause you're here with me
And nothing's ever gonna bring us down
Cause nothing, nothing, nothing can keep me from lovin' you
And you know it's true
It don't matter what'll come to be
You know our love is all we need
Our love is all we need to make it through
The auditorium erupted into screams and applause. Blaine noticed with satisfaction that he got a standing ovation. But his eyes were immediately drawn to Kurt. He had tears in his eyes and was smiling that crazy. Blaine winked at him to let him know that the song was for him and Kurt's smile grew even larger.
"Blaine that was amazing! I mean we all knew you could sing fantastically but this-" Mr. Schue was lost for words. "That was phenomenal. Looks like we got another songwriter in our midst because that was gold! Welcome to the Glee Club!" Blaine's eyebrows rose in surprise and relief. He strode towards the Glee Club and met with his boyfriend in a long kiss. The other members whistled and catcalled. Mr. Schue brought the group to attention.
"2012 here we come!"
Santana Lopez stood at her locker, grabbing some books for her last class of the day. She sighed and smiled at a small picture of Brittany that was at the back of her locker. She didn't know what would become of them this year but Brittany had said that she loved her. It was a start. She felt a tap on her shoulder and she turned around.
"Hi," said one of the girl triplets. "Um I don't know where my next class is and saw you at Glee Club so I thought you might be less likely to shove me in a locker for asking." Santana stared open mouthed. The girl's eyebrows rose and Santana regained her composure.
"Oh yeah well it's just up those stairs, first door on the left."
"Thanks. I'm Amy by the way." She held out her hand. Santana took it.
"Santana." she responded.
"Santana. I'll remember that. See you at Glee Club." And with that she left.
Who in Grilled Cheesus' name is that? She's really hot! I noticed her at auditions but I was nodding the music not her. But damn! No stop Santana! You don't even know if she's lesbian. Still, doesn't mean I'm going to stop fantasizing.
And with that she closed her locker door, the picture of Brittany forgotten.
The Glee Club sat in anticipation of their first meeting. They had introduced themselves to the new members and chatted in groups. Mr. Schue walked in.
"Hello everyone. Welcome back to our previous members and welcome to our new members. Hopefully this year will be lots of fun! Now I have an announcement to make. Due to the global increase in show choir, the show choir board of directors has decided to add a new competition: Globals. So basically, if we win Nationals, we have the option to move on to Globals. There is one flaw though. All competitions will be earlier so as to make time for Globals. So were going to have less time to prepare for sectionals so we have to get started straight away. We will have some fierce competition including Aural Intensity, The Warblers, and of course Vocal Adrenaline. So let's get started!" The room erupted into cheers. "I thought we could start off with a simple number to show our new members what we do in here. So let's start off with a previously untouched band: The Ramones!" The old members cheered and Finn went to the drums, while Puck got his guitar. The entire Glee Club sang the song while dancing around.
Well I don't care about history
Rock, rock, rock'n'roll high school
'Cause that's not where I wanna be
Rock, rock, rock'n'roll high school
I just wanna have some kicks
I just wanna get some chicks
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock'n'roll high school
Fun fun rock'n'roll high school
Fun fun rock'n'roll high school
Fun fun rock'n'roll high school
Fun fun, oh baby
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock'n'roll high school
The songs in this episode were:
-Goin' Back To Hogwarts – A Very Potter Musical
-Thank Goodness – Wicked
-Jumpstart – These Kids Wear Crowns
-Your Song – Elton John
-Not Alone – Darren Criss
-Rock n Roll High School – The Ramones
If you haven't figured it out yet, Jack Walker is supposed to be Joe Walker and Lauren Cissa is Lauren Lopez. Also I know they probably would never do AVPM songs in Glee but we had to put them. We will have a couple Starkid songs throughout the season. If you would like to read some of our other stories, GleekAndersons personal account is HobbitatHogwarts and GleekPierceLopez's account is Glee Potter Wars and Ferb.
Thanks for reading! Please review! See you next week with a chapter all about teachers!
