Glee Scripting Competition Entry #1

AN: Hello everyone! I am a mod on this really super cool forum,

forum/Glee-RP/112115/

and I am the Judge for this new topic called the Glee Scripting Competitions! We've all decided, wow, glee got really off topic on what it's suppose to be about and honestly, it just isn't as good as it used to be. SO we're using this topic to write our own original glee episodes with our own Original Characters (OCs) on the forum and rewrite glee, hence the title, Glee 2. Well, after reading everyone's amazing stories so far and discovering how much fun it must be to literally write a fanfiction off of your own characters, (it's like the forum is glee.. and the stories we're making off of them is literally like the real glee fanfictions xD haha well duh.. they are fanfictions..it's hard to explain!XD ) I couldn't resist so have written one myself! Haha so here are my characters and my three canon characters (actual glee characters) I have on the forum (Since for this first competition we could only use our own characters which also meant our canons) in this whole new glee!

Warnings:

In a world...

Where Sebastian actually was a freshman..
Where Karofsky didn't drop off the face of the planet..
Where Klaine actually will get engaged..
Where glee sticks to story lines and the cause of the show..

This and many more in store with this story... Don't like, don't read xD

Oh and if you'd like to know what my characters look like at some point while reading, I have a topic and a post for that as well! :D

topic/112115/78895411/1/#78895411 (when coping and pasting, add in front of the link (www).(fanfiction).net(/) -just remove the paranthesis as well with that ;)

(If the link to pictures doesn't seem to work, just remove the %20 :)

Without further ado, GLEE starts now.

Episode One: Pilot

Well, this is it... Another new school year here at Mckinley.. My last one.

Marley walks down the halls of William Mckinley High School, reminiscing her memories of the last few years at the school, sad, but wearing a smile. She holds the newest sign up sheet for Glee club in one hand, her dreams in the other. She just felt it as she stepped.

This was going to be the year.. The year The New Directions will be going back to Nationals.

Marley encourages herself as she moves, excited for this year's new members. She was the only one left this year, everyone else either graduating when she was a Junior or having moved throughout the years since she came her. Like Unique. She moved across the country, but Marley still get messages from her, so she's been great. Then there's Kitty who actually hasn't graduated or moved and just gave up on glee in general this year.. She claims there's no point when Marley's the only one left. But she knew it was probably because she just wanted to stay on top for her final year. And Ryder.. He moved the end of her Sophomore year, the end of her first year at this school. She still misses him.. but not as much as Jake. She heard her heart thump louder in her chest as she took a deep breath. That was a memory she couldn't and shouldn't recall right now, but she knew that if- when they make it to Nationals this year.. it would be for him. She then shook her thoughts as she continued through the crowds of people to her destination. It was going to be rough this year, she had to admit. She felt the school slowly returning to its normal social hierarchy these past few years since the New Directions haven't passed Regionals and the football team had been doing well. It was almost as if they never made it to Nationals at this point. Almost like a distant memory.. one she didn't get to be a part of... One Jake never will. She knocked those thoughts out again as she continued on. Not only that, but.. Not even Mr. Shue would be here this year. It was crazy still to think of.. but she was happy for him. He and Emma had a child not too long ago and had to move.. unfortunately it meant he couldn't work here anymore. Well, lucky for him, he only had one person to really say goodbye to this year... herself. Marley Rose. She was all the Glee Club had left.. and she was going to make the best of it no matter how many new people joined, it would still have it's same purpose..

The New Directions would still be a club for everyone to connect with.. all kinds of people, popular or not... inspired, or not... hurt, or not... alone, or not.. Glee Club would be more than a club to people. And I'm determined to keep it that way.

With that last thought Marley puts up the sign up sheet for The New Directions as she finally makes it to her destination. She then turned back around with a smile on her face, and then was slushied.

...all kinds of people, popular or not...

"Oh my gosh, are you okay?"

The laughter dies down the hall as the football players leave, but a girl who was walking with them stayed. A very redheaded girl. She was also wearing the Cheerios uniform, so it took Marley a moment to realize it was actually her speaking with concern in her voice towards her.

"Oh uhm.. yeah, yeah, I'll be okay-"

"But you have slushy all over you, aren't you cold? Come on, I have an extra shirt in my locker!" she says, honestly concerned about her. Marley was surprised by this, especially coming from a cheerleader. There's no way that could've been the first time she's ever seen that happen... right? She could be new. She looks at her again, a good look this time. Not only did she have long luscious red hair, but she had a perfect cheerleading body, very fit. She had these green sparkling eyes she's never seen before and an air to her that for once did not scream "I'm a mean sl*tty cheerleader." She had a spring in her step even as she rushed to her locker in search to help that could only describe her bubbly personality.. She's never seen a cheerleader like her. Most of them reminded her of Kitty and the exterior she always handed out, which usually, wasn't a helping hand and especially in this kind of situation. She was different.. definitely new to all this. She wonders if they're all like her at the beginning before the popularity took them over... She wasn't able to deepen her thoughts though before the redhead rushed back to her and pulled her with her into the girl's restroom.

"Here! You can wear this." she says without asking any questions about the situation and just handed over her clothing. Marley looks at the shirt a bit hesitant; not expecting this, but definitely not regretting it.

"Oh, thanks.." she flashes her a small smile before going into the stall and changing. She then heard the sound of footsteps and a door closing and sighed. Typical. So Marley was surprised when she came back out and saw her still there.

"Oh good! It fits! I had a feeling it would." she says with a relieved smile though. She quickly then pulls her over to the sink and hands her a small hand towel she already wet. "Here. I didn't think the cheap paper towels here would help you much so I quickly went back to my locker to get it." When did she come back in? Marley forgets her thoughts for now.

"Thank you.. for everything. I didn't expect anyone to really help me out.." she says as she starts to clean her face and neck with the towel. Her face was still a tint of red from the slushie dye, but hey, it's not as red as her hair so she saw that as a plus. Her hair.. "I didn't catch your name."

"Robin. Robin White. But you can call me Rose. All my friends do haha. And no, it was no problem. That was such a terrible accident. I would've hated if that happened to me." she answers innocently with no sly undertone or anything.. she was serious. She seriously thought it was an accident. She was definitely new. "What's your name?" she asks friendly.

"Marley Rose. It's.. nice to meet you." she responds with a small smile. "And yeah, it really sucks, but I guess I'm used to it..."

"Used to it? What do you mean?" Marley sighs.

"It wasn't an accident.. Here at Mckinley if you're not accepted in this school, it's likely you'll be slushied like that." Rose gasps.

"Wow, seriously?! That's.. That's so mean! How come?"

"Because the world of high school here isn't like a lot of others.." she shakes her head as she wipes some of the remaining slushie off her cheek. "People are immature and it's been happening for years.. and technically they can't be punished for it, so there you go." She didn't understand why she was telling her all of this, but she guesses it's because she considers she wouldn't have joined the glee club anyway and she'd had have to learn this eventually.

"Wow.. I'm so sorry. I can't believe that.. what's so wrong with singing? And dancing? I mean, cheerleaders practically do the same thing! Except with more chanting.. but still! Singing is so much fun! I can't believe them.. what bullies!" Marley expected a lot of answers, but this? This was unexpected.. But hey, being new and hearing it from her side first, maybe it shouldn't have been that unexpected.

"Haha I wish the majority here agreed with that.." she says shaking her head, before realizing something. "Wait, did you say you liked to sing?"

"Yeah! I love it! I always do wish I could add some singing instead of chanting in the cheer routines.. never got to my whole life! I really love to cheerlead and all, don't get me wrong. I mean, I want to do it professionally one day and have been preparing my whole life, but it's not the ONLY thing I like to do.. I hate how you guys seemed to be marked by those slushies for being just the glee club. I mean, I'm sure you guys like other things.. like how I like to sing too. There's more to life then what your marked as in high school.." she says going on and not realizing how smart she really was compared to more than half the school as she did.

"You really couldn't be more right. Rose.. do you want to join the Glee Club?" she asks hopefully, hearing all that from her giving her hope that that was what she was leading up to. Her eyes widen, but then a big smile appears.

"Yeah! I'd love to! I mean, they won't slushie me though right, because I'll also be a cheerleader, right? Oh, this is so exciting! Yes, yes I'd love to sing with you and your club! This is going to be so much fun and hey! We'll show them, right? I can be both at the top and the bottom!" she laughs lightly at that before pulling Marley into a hug, glad that she was all cleaned up by then. She then pulled back with the wide smile still covering her cheeks with determination in her eyes. "Oh I have to go sign up, huh? Alright, I'll see you later Rose Two! Haha, bye!" she exclaims before rushing back out of the restroom, but with even more of a spring to her step. She might've thought she was skipping if she really paid that much attention. Wow.. I did not think it was going to be that easy to find a new member.. and this fast? This kind of stuff only happens in movies.. or TV shows.. but I'm not complaining. Maybe she has a chance after all... Rose Two, huh? She then leaves the restroom herself with a small laugh to that. She hoped she wouldn't get slushied again, especially now that she was wearing a cheer shirt.

...inspired, or not...

In Carmel High, things were different... Yes there were no slushie attacks and such here, but for Vocal Adrenaline.. well, let's just say it's more extreme than the average glee clubs and especially problems like being slushied...

That opinion was one from Logan Rockwell, and probably every other student who attended the school apart of Vocal Adrenaline. And as their lead singer and co-leader, it was even more extreme for him. He always had to be on top of things, keep things organized for the club, learn all the lyrics to all the songs, and on top of all of that... he was the lead of his own band. And that meant songs to be written, learned, played. Yep, life for him was busy and hard... but he'd never trade it anything less. He loved it. It all used to be too much for him. He even used to help himself through all the stress by partying, drinking, things he regrets every day.. because now he's changed. Going to Carmel now and joining Vocal Adrenaline has changed him.. He came for a new start, especially after his old band broke up after he decided to change. He didn't want to sing about girls or partying anymore.. he wanted to sing about what mattered and live by it. So here he was, new school, new responsibilities, new life. Society wasn't itself anymore, or what he thought was so great about it. The changes in it hurt his family and friends and there was no way he could support the way it is anymore, especially in his music... his music now was against that; it was about the truth about life.. reality. What was real and true compared to what was fake and advertised as right. That was the band name.. REAL. Realistic Energies Awakening Life. He wanted to make a difference, and that's what he hopes to come with his music.. his band's music. But right now was not the time to be recalling his band, he had to get to rehearsal today. But unfortunately before he can get there he had to pick up a band member first who was also apart of the group. She wasn't as inspired as he was, but he knew there was a reason why...she joined the band. She did believe in the music, even though he knew she wrote her own on her own time, but she never seemed that into it... she wanted what they sang about, but it was like she didn't completely believe it'd happen.. no matter how much she tried. Her name was Caroline Giordana and she.. she was something. She was talented with her music and her base, she was beautiful and with her fashion, but she was also so alone.. able to get whoever she wanted, but never keep them. He felt like one of the only friends she's ever had.. and he wanted to help her make more, even if all she ever wanted was to just sleep with them. He hoped she'd also open up to him one day, tell him what's keeping her from completely believing in what she plays... His thoughts were distracted then as he finally got to her. Right where he left her last. She was sitting down in front of her locker, strumming to her base. He found her here a lot after school, but she's been doing this a lot more often when she's suppose to be going to Vocal Adrenaline rehearsals.. maybe it was becoming too extreme for her. He goes and sits down beside her. She didn't make a movement to this, not even brushing the long and straight, black lock of hair out of her eyes as she continued to play. He then realized he didn't recognize the song and finally broke the silence.

"Is that a new song?" She just simply nods, continuing to play. "It's beautiful. Does it have any lyrics yet..?"

"You know I always get stuck on those.." she finally responds, still playing though.

"Hey, how about after rehearsal I help you out with them; does that sound like a plan?" She just smiles lightly, finally stopping her hand. She chuckles.

"You and I both know this probably isn't a song for the band." she says, because Logan usually never offers something like that.. he knows her music was her music even though she was a part of his band, and let her be.

"I know, but I still want to help." he says smiling at her even as she turns to him with an eyebrow raised.

"Really?"

"Really."

"Oh.. well, alright then. Okay cool, let's do it." she says a grin appearing on her lips as she agrees to this. But she still had to wonder.. "You never offered to help me out before.. what made you change your mind?" He shrugs.

"I don't know.. I guess I was just thinking today about what this band was about and what I wanted to be when I came here... I still do want to make a difference." He looks her in the eyes. "One person at a time if I have to." He flashes her another smile that she returned slightly, still on the border of all this but of course he wasn't going to press on why. He'd find out one day, because he knows she didn't just join any band if she could just write her own music like that. "Now," he stands and offers her a hand, "let's get to rehearsal before Coach kills us for being late." She laughs as she takes his hand, standing with him.

"Haha if anything, he's probably going to kill ME. You're like his right-hand man, he wouldn't touch you unless he wanted to get all the work done himself. Now me, he'd probably think we'd be late because I finally got in your pants." she winks flirtatiously, her nature blooming out again. Oh, did he not mention? She could be sassy and very confident when she wanted to be. Which was most of the time. It was those rare vulnerable moments when he sees her in her own world playing the base when he saw who she really was.. not just this face she put on for everyone else.. and maybe that wasn't it, but he didn't know. Again, he wasn't going to press. She'd tell him one day if she was covering up something, and he'll be there if she ever does. He was the closest thing to a real friend she had and she knew it.. they both did. He laughs good-natruedly.

"Sorry, but I doubt that would work even as an excuse."

"Right, because you have to be such a good boy... Why do I still talk to you?"

"Because, I'm gonna help you with your lyrics."

"Right, right.. Pfft, I mean, as long as we don't have to stay longer for being late-" They both then hear the warning bell ring and their eyes widen. "Sh*t!" They both laugh though and start to run- walk fast, to the rehearsal. Maybe it was just a bit too extreme after all, but, at least they had each other to get them through it.

...hurt, or not...

"Hey! Hand over the clamp, will ya?"

"Yeah, got it!"

"Did you get the oil change papers on that Ford over there, yet?"

"Yep, just finished that yesterday!"

Yup, this was the new life for David Karofsky. What happened to him after the suicide attempt last year? Well, he never got back in touch with school. He was too afraid to go back to public school and his father couldn't pay for private school so because he wimped out he never got to finish his high school education. He regrets it.. but he still doesn't want to go back. So here he was.. working with Burt Hummel of all people on cars as an assistant mechanic. What happened to Burt being a congressman? Well, let's just say it was another forgotten story line.. Dave didn't plan for this, of course he wanted to be a sports agent or something big, but, life doesn't always go his way and he was getting used to that now.. He was happy though, not as happy as he could be, but happy to be here for Burt. He was a good man, and after hearing Kurt was busy in New York and Finn was busy getting an education to be a teacher, he had to help him out when no one else in his family could. Seeing his proud smile every day at work was all worth where he was now... but he was often lonely. Everyone he knew either went off to college or got a life outside of Lima. No one he worked with either was his age and even Scandals got boring sometimes... well except for that one time not too long ago.. someone his age was actually there and it was fun not being the only one for once.. that reminded him. He looks down at his phone quickly, seeing if he still had it. He did. He still had the guy's number and he smiled. Maybe he wasn't alone after all. Yes, it had been months since he gave him this and when he last really talked to the guy, but... he was tired of being alone, not in THAT way even though he was kind of attractive- NOT in that way, but he wanted a real friend again.. and there was a good chance he'd be just that. Why hasn't he thought of this before? It was like it was just happening now because he being filmed and it was part of his storyline to discover this now..like the beginning of a TV show or something.. Anyway, he knew exactly where to find him. Just in time his alarm rang for his break and he smiled. He calls out his goodbye as he races to his car.

"Going on my break now, be back later!" He hollers before leaving off on his way to start making himself happy here with his life.. and no longer just happy for someone else.

...alone, or not...

Sebastian Smythe was not one to ever give up. Even as things got hopeless, he'd strive through. Just like he had to now. It was his senior year and it was as if he was left with nothing. Yes he was still the captain of the Lacrosse team, got good grades, yada yada, but what mattered to him was what he barely had enough of... The Warblers. These last few years had been rough, the Warblers popularity having headed downhill because of a certain someone.. He groaned just at the thought of the guy. After the stunt Hunter Clarington pulled two years ago, no one wanted to be a part of the corrupted club. First the slushie incident and then steroids, heck, he sometimes wondered how he could be stupid enough to be apart of it all.. He was just lucky Hunter got pulled out of Dalton after that, his purpose no longer needed since they obviously weren't advancing in the competitions because of what he made them do. He sighs. He has to bring the Warblers to Nationals this year, he had to. He wasn't giving up on them no matter how hopeless they were. Unfortunately all the really good Warblers have graduated by now too, that including Nick, David, Thad.. even Jeff. He was really going to miss those guys.. especially since they had forgiven him for what he did. They saw how much he really did turn over a new leaf and even appointed him this year's captain again, especially since Hunter was gone and he was the only other experienced captain. They were some of the only friends he had... but wasn't complaining. He understood why. He was a capital jerk, heartless, and a sl*t. At least, that's the rumor around Dalton. No one was going to let the slushie thing down and now that David and them all have graduated.. he was alone. But he didn't mind it, the sl*t part of his reputation was true so he saw it as never being truly alone. It would be nice to have those guys back though, or for Blaine or Kurt to forgive him for the whole thing so that rumor will go out and he'd have more than his sex buddies for friends. But no, they're living their lives in New York with each other now. Oh, did he mention they were engaged? He sighs; and he was still in Ohio, alone. So anyway... here he was, captain of the Warblers, at his desk, 'lonely sl*t' practically written in his name plate, Wes' gavel in the drawer. He always wanted to use that thing but David insisted that if he tried touching it Wes would come back and make him pay for touching his precious gavel. Gee if it meant that much to him then why didn't the guy just take it with him..? Anyway, that and the fact that he was a loner wasn't important right now. Today was the day he'd have to watch audition after audition to get some members for the Warblers and he was really not looking forward to it. Since it wasn't so popular anymore, no one really good ever joins. It happened last year and it will happen this year. And he still had Jeff and them last year... yet, it wasn't good enough to pass them through even Sectionals. He knew this year would be even worse without them, but.. he just couldn't give up. This was his senior year and he had to make it count, especially for the Warblers. He owed them that much. Who knows, maybe there's actually a new kid here that doesn't know about the past.. He sighs in his hope. It was getting kind of pathetic. No one had even shown up yet and it was already 5:00 PM. Alright then, it looked like no one's coming today. He really hoped there'd be more people for day two tomorrow as he stood and headed for the door with his school bag. He then suddenly was bumped into by a guy he hadn't seen before at this school coming in the room. The guy looked up and blushed, embarrassed as he muttered a quick apology. He took a step back as he saw Sebastian leaving with a frown.

"I-Is it too late to audition? I'm sorry, I had a piano lesson r-right after school and I-I tried to get here as fast as I could." he explains lightly breathless from running here. He felt so guilty for running in the halls but he just had to make it here to audition. "C-Can I please audition?" Sebastian was still a bit caught off guard by the boy's appearance when he spoke, but then snapped back into it when he realized he actually wanted to audition and nodded.

"Knock yourself out." he grins happy that he had at least someone at this establishment that didn't hate him or the group enough to audition. He went to go sit down at his desk and turned to him again, seeing the blush still evident on his cheeks but also a confused expression.

"Kn-Knock myself out?" Sebastian then shared his same confused look.

"It's just an expression.. I meant like go ahead and audition." He did not expect that. The boy looked relieved but more embarrassed the same, feeling stupid for not knowing that. Gee, he sure made it obvious he didn't get out a lot.

"Oh, r-right. Thank you!" He says smiling happy as a child as he went to stand in front of him.

"Haha alright then, so, what's your name?" He starts as he gets an audition form out and a pen.

"Oh um my name is Ellis Augustine Harvey. What is your name?" He responds, standing straight and almost good manner-like. That was also when Sebastian caught the boy's accent. He nods as he writes his name down and then looks back to him.

"Sebastian Smythe. You're british, am I right?" Ellis nods lightly with another blush appearing.

"Y-Yes, I am. I used to live there for a part of my life but then my dad moved us out here because of his job." He says matter-of-factly with his hands at his sides. He had almost too good manners.. he seemed almost too perfect for this school. His hair was perfecting coiffed, his shoulders broad and his structure seemingly perfect. He was tall with that as well, his blushing and social-awkwardness not matching how he looked.

"Wait, wait, he moved you guys from BRITAIN to OHIO just because of a job?"

"W-Well," he starts, feeling as if he did something wrong, "also to get away from the memories of my mother leaving us.." he finishes sheepishly, not catching his emerald eyes with his own chocolate orbs. A pause.

"Oh, sorry.. I didn't know."

"I-It's okay.." He says although still casting his glance downward. Sebastian already missed looking at his usually tinted-cheeked face. He let out a fake cough.

"Okay well um, you can go ahead and sing now," he says, wanting to get past the awkwardness. This guy seems to bring that out easily.

"Oh," he begins, looks up slightly again with a light smile. "Okay." He didn't like talking about his mother, but he couldn't blame him for not knowing. Yes, it was a really long time ago, but he still wondered about her. Wanted to know what it was like to know her.. and being miles and miles away made it hard to ever find out. So he knew that his song he was singing today was for her, about her. He hoped Sebastian would see that through his voice as he sang.. it was the one thing he had to connect to his mother without his father knowing. Although his father knew he loved to sing and play all the instruments he got him lessons for at a young age, he wanted him to be interested in a different route now, even a football scholarship sounding better to him. But he couldn't help but love it anyway and since his father was his best friend, he lets him.. whenever he wasn't working out with him anyway, he'd be singing or playing his piano.. his father couldn't take away something he loved so much. It was like taking away a book from him; it being that important to him. That's why he hoped to join this group, so he could sing more and maybe make some friends along the way for once no matter how socially awkward he is. Also to of course sing for his mother.. he knew if she was here she'd want him to do what he loved to do.. and so here he was, doing just that. "I'll be singing Yesterday from The Beatles."

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away

Now it looks as though they're here to stay

Oh, I believe in yesterday

Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be

There's a shadow hanging over me.

Oh, I yesterday came suddenly

Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say

I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play

Now I need a place to hide away

Oh, I believe in yesterday

Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say

I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play

Now I need a place to hide away

Oh, I believe in yesterday

Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm

"Wow, good job." he says honestly and surprised. He was attractive and he could sing, he seriously didn't expect this but was so glad he didn't leave sooner. This is why he will never give up.. especially not now. He smirks as he sees another blush cover his face.

"Th-Thank you." he says so glad that he liked it. Did this mean he was apart of the team now? He didn't ask, he didn't want to seem stupid again for being so new to all of this especially since it seemed Sebastian liked him.

"I'll post who makes it in on the door in two days, since there'll be more people auditioning tomorrow." he hoped anyway, but wouldn't let on the reputation the club had considering it seemed he didn't know. He had to be new. "Tell me, are you new to Dalton?" He nods.

"I've been homeschooled my whole life until this year.." Sebastian raises an eyebrow but honestly, it made everything make sense. It explains how socially awkward he is, and he must just have plenty of time work out a lot seeing his form... it was kind of hot. He smirks wider at him, causing the poor boy to blush redder. He was definitely seeing him again. Sebastian nods to his response.

"Don't worry, I think you'll be making good friends easily here." he adds with a wink, but it only confused the boy. Did he really have no people interaction besides with his father? He had a lot to learn. He laughed lightly at his reaction. "Haha alright, you're free to go."

"Oh, o-okay. Thank you Sebastian for letting me audition.. I hope I made it in." He smiles after Sebastian just nods and he hopes that means he made it in. He can't wait to tell his father how well this went. That reminded him, he was still waiting outside in his car for him. "Alright well uhm, goodbye!" He calls to him before he heads out, a huge smile on his face.

"Well, well, well, you certainly outdone yourself Sebastian.." Sebastian says to himself smiling lightly and leans back in his seat as he leaves. Maybe the Warblers really do have a chance this year... And maybe I won't be so alone for long. He wondered what tomorrow's audition group would bring him as he packed up and headed out soon after him. He locked the door behind him and started walking down Dalton's quiet, but peaceful halls. He smiles wide, thinking of what was possibly to come finally for him as he made his way to the exit. As he made it to Dalton's front double doors to leave, they suddenly open in his face and hit him as someone walks in through them. He curses under his breath and brought a hand up to his now bruised nose, because gee, that really kind of hurt.. He then looks up to the culprit mad. That was one way to ruin his mood...

"What the heck, watch where you're f- huh?" he then blinked confused as he recognized who it was, "...David Karofsky?"

To be continued... NEXT TIME ON GLEE

Please Review! :D
