Glee Fan-fiction *I do not own Glee or it's characters. This is a fan-fiction using Glee and it's characters*

Begins during season three as if the glee club had disbanded after their loss at Nationals the year before. The events in season one and two all happened, and some of the main events in season three will happen in this fan-fiction. Includes: Klaine, Tike, Finchel, Fabson, Quick, Rorinn, Samcedes, etc.

Chapter 1 – Main Cast Characters: Artie Abrams- Feeling like a third-wheel in his friendship with Tina and Mike, Artie teams up with Kurt, Puck, and Finn to bring the New Directions back to McKinley High.

Tina Cohen-Chang- As their love grows stronger, Tina and Mike help Coach Beiste find her true love.

Mike Chang- Mike and Tina notice the football coach lonely and sad, but soon realize love is the answer.

Rachel Berry- Though the New Directions lost Nationals and have been disbanded for her senior year, Rachel got one thing out of that competition in New York... her boyfriend, Finn.

Finn Hudson- Teaming up with Artie, Kurt, and Puck, Finn looks for a way to reform the New Directions while also dealing with his new girlfriend, Rachel.

Brittany Pierce- Now co-captain of the Cheerios along with Santana, Brittany soon realizes she's missing something else in her life.

Santana Lopez- Although she achieved her goal of becoming co-captain of the Cheerios with her best friend, Brittany, Santana feels out of place in the crowd of popular kids.

Noah Puckerman- Shocked by the appearance of Quinn, Puck joins forces with Artie, Finn, and Kurt to hopefully bring his girl back into the light.

Quinn Fabray- After an eventful summer, Quinn's back at McKinley, but in an unexpected way.

Kurt Hummel- Kurt rethinks his decision of coming back to McKinley, especially since his boyfriend, Blaine, is back at Dalton Academy practicing with the Warblers.

Mercedes Jones- With a new man in her life, Mercedes seems to have moved on completely from the glee club... until her old fellow club members remind her why they all joined.

Will Schuester- Constantly fighting with Figgins about bringing the club back together, ND's former director is stuck teaching Spanish and listening to Sue's daily tormenting.

Emma Pillsbury- Emma finally moves in with Will and helps reinstate the glee club for yet another year.

Shannon Beiste- With the help of Mike and Tina, McKinley High's football coach has found herself a new man in her life.

Sue Sylvester- Though she thought she finally achieved something after the second disbandment of the New Directions, Sue finds herself bored with her repetitive insults thrown to the bushy-haired Will Schuester.

Jacob Ben Israel: (to camera) Jacob Ben Israel here with the scoop on the late glee club. Let's see what's going on with the members after their loser club was cut at last year's Nationals.

Jacob Ben Israel: (running up to Santana and Brittany; shoves microphone in their faces) So Miss Lopez and Miss Pierce, is it true that your gay club has finally been demolished for all of eternity?

Santana: Fortunately, yes, it has.

Brittany: I miss glee. Even though I was just a Cheerio before glee, now it feels different. Sad almost.

Jacob Ben Israel: Is it different because you two are now co-captains of the Cheerios? And has any of you seen Quinn Fabray?

(Santana and Brittany look at each other, disappointment in their eyes)

Jacob Ben Israel: (to Mercedes) Is it true that you are dating the Hobo Bieber known as Sam Evans?

Mercedes: No, that's not true. I dated him over the summer, but he moved. Now, I've got a new man in my life. (walks over to Shane)

Shane: You know that's right, baby. (puts arm around Mercedes' shoulder)

Jacob Ben Israel: (to Finn and Rachel) Is it true that because you kissed on-stage during your Nationals competition, the New Directions got twelfth place and ended forever? So really, is it true that you were the reason glee club is no longer with us?

Rachel: Okay, I admit our little kiss was most likely the reason we lost the competition, but it sparked our relationship. If we hadn't kissed then, we wouldn't be together right now.

Jacob Ben Israel: So what you're saying is, you destroyed your club – which you called your family – just to become the girlfriend of Flabby Finn Hudson?

Finn: The rest of the glee club understands! They know that nothing can come in the way of true love!

Jacob Ben Israel: But since there is no glee club anymore, you're really saying that nobody understands your motives.

Jacob Ben Israel: (to Artie with Tina and Mike) How's it feel to be a third wheel in wheels?

Tina: Artie's not a third wheel!

Artie: (quietly) Actually, I kind of am a-

Mike: (to JBI) Over the summer we all hung out at camp, not just Tina and me.

Artie: Actually, I was only at the camp for one-

(Hockey team slushies Mike, Tina, and Artie)

Hockey Players: Welcome back, freaks!

Jacob Ben Israel: (to Kurt) Do you think that you'd be happier if you had just stayed with the Warblers last year instead of failing at Nationals and having the glee club disbanded?

Kurt: I am disappointed that we lost Nationals and that the club's no longer here, but if I stayed with the Warblers, I wouldn't have gone through losing with my family – the New Directions. (walks away from JBI)

Kurt: (in voice-over) Actually, I think I have thought about what might have happened if I stayed with Blaine and the Warblers. Yes, I wouldn't have gone to New York, and the Warblers had lost Regionals anyway, but if I had stayed with them, I wouldn't be here today, walking through the hallway to History class, wondering what to do with my life now that there was no more glee club. We had already faced losing the club during sophomore year, but we thought that was going to be the last time the New Directions would be in danger. Guess we were wrong about that. Well, at least we won't be made fun of anymore for being in glee club.

Hockey Players: (slushies Kurt)

Kurt: (in voice-over) Doesn't mean I'm not a loser anymore, though.

[Glee]

(Kurt, Puck, Tina, Artie, Mike, and Finn take their seats in History class – Puck sits in front row next to Finn, Mike sits next to Tina and Artie in third row, Kurt sits behind Tina in last row)

Puck: (whispering to Finn) Hey, man, have you seen Quinn lately?

Finn: (shaking his head) No, why?

Puck: (shrugs) Just wondering.

(bell rings and switches to hallway)

Quinn: (walks down hallway with pink hair, ripped-up dull clothes, tattoo on back) (in voice-over) I finally found myself. A little late, I guess, but at least I know who I really am. I have a lot of free time now that glee club is over. Good riddance.

(Quinn passes a shocked Santana and Brittany, smirking; Puck runs down the hallway after Quinn)

Puck: Hey, Fabray! What happened to you? (blocks Quinn from walking)

Quinn: I found myself. My true self.

Puck: (disgusted) You really think this is your true self?

Quinn: Yeah, yeah, I do... and you can't change me.

Puck: (shaking his head sadly) I don't need to change you any more than I already have. Ever since I knocked you up, you've been lost. I see you're still having trouble being found.

Quinn: (agitated) I already told you, I found myself! This is me, Puck! If you can't accept that, then you better move on. (stomps away)

(Puck stares on after her sadly)

(Finn stands in middle of the choir room, which is now Sue's trophy room. He sighs, leaning against the wall)

Finn: (singing) Oh...

Remember...

Oh, I remember...

I wanna know...

Rachel: (walking down hallway; singing) Midnight

Not a sound from the pavement...

Finn: Where were you when I said I loved you?

Finn and Rachel: (Finn) And where were you when I cried at night?

(Rachel) Has the moon lost her memory...

She is smiling alone.

Artie: (entering old choir room) Waiting up, couldn't sleep without you.

Thinking of all the times we shared.

Kurt: (walking next to Rachel) In the lamplight

The withered leaves collect at my feet.

Kurt and Rachel: And the wind begins to moan.

Finn, Artie, and Puck: (Puck walks in old choir room and joins Finn and Artie) I remember when my heart broke.

I remember when I gave up loving you.

My heart couldn't take no more of you.

Kurt and Rachel: Memory, all alone in the moonlight.

(walks into old choir room) I can dream of the old days.

Finn and Puck: I was sad and lonely.

Artie and Puck: I remember when I walked out.

I remember when I screamed I hated you.

Finn and Artie: But somehow deep inside still loving you.

Finn, Artie, and Puck: Sad and lonely.

Rachel: Touch me,

It is so easy to leave me...

Kurt and Rachel: All alone with the memory

Of my days in the sun.

Kurt and Artie: (Artie) There was nowhere else to go, oh.

Nobody else to turn to, no.

(Kurt) If you'll touch me

You'll understand what happiness is...

Finn, Rachel, Artie, Kurt, and Puck: (Finn, Artie, Puck) I promised myself I will love me first genuinely.

(Kurt, Rachel) Look, a new day has begun...

Rachel: I miss not being able to see you guys in glee club.

Puck: I never thought I'd be saying this, but I do, too.

Artie: You guys, I think we should come up with a plan to bring back the New Directions...

Rachel: Sorry, I'd love that, but I don't have time. I need to practice for the school musical which is still going to be put on, yet I don't know what the play is. If I'm going to get into Juilliard, I need to focus on this musical since glee club doesn't affect my resume that much.

Finn: Well, I think it's a great idea, Artie! If we can round up all the glee club members, we could find a way to earn enough money to restart the New Directions.

Kurt: That sounds brilliant! So, Finn, Artie, and I are in, Rachel's out... how 'bout you, Puck?

Puck: (pause) It would be pretty cool to have glee club back, so sure... I'm in.

Kurt: Awesome! So it's settled! The New Directions are coming back to McKinley!

Santana: (in voice-over) It was so weird. Before glee, my only friends were Cheerios and football players. Now, it felt strange hanging out with Cheerios and jocks that hadn't been in the New Directions... it felt almost wrong.

Brittany: Hey, Santana... are you okay?

Santana: Oh... um... yeah, Britt. I'm fine. Are you?

Brittany: Not really. I'm so sad now that glee's gone that I forgot to feed Lord Tubbington his nougat this morning.

Santana: Wow... you're really that disappointed that glee was disbanded?

(Brittany shakes her head as a 'yes')

Santana: You have a point...

Brittany: What am I pointing at?

Santana: You're pointing our way to family. (grabs Brittany's hand, pulls her to auditorium)

Puck: (to Santana and Brittany) I'm glad you came.

Santana: We are, too.

(Mercedes, Quinn, Rachel, Finn, Kurt, Mike, Tina, and Artie are in the auditorium along with Santana, Puck, and Brittany)

Santana: (singing) I was blown away.

What could I say?

It all seemed to make sense.

You've taken away everything

And I can't deal with that.

I try to see the good in life

But good things in life are hard to find.

We'll blow it away, blow it away.

Can we make this something good?

We'll try to do it right this time around.

New Directions: Let's start over.

I'll try to do it right this time around.

It's not over.

'Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground.

This love is killing me

But you're the only one.

It's not over.

Artie: Taken all I could take

And I cannot wait.

We're wasting too much time...

Being strong, holding on.

Can't let it bring us down.

My life with you means everything

So I won't give up that easily.

I'll blow it away, blow it away.

Can we make this something good?

'Cause it's all misunderstood.

Well, I'll try to do it right this time around.

New Directions: Let's start over.

I'll try to do it right this time around.

It's not over.

'Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground.

This love is killing me

But you're the only one.

It's not over.

Mercedes: We can't let this get away.

Let it out, let it out.

Don't get caught up in yourself.

Let it out.

New Directions: Let's start over.

I'll try to do it right this time around.

It's not over.

'Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground.

This love is killing me

But you're the only one.

It's not over.

Tina: Let's start over.

It's not over, yeah...

This love is killing me

But you're the only one.

It's not over.

(Everyone laughs, except for Quinn, who runs out of auditorium; Puck runs after her)

Puck: Quinn, please stop! Where are you going?

(Puck follows Quinn into old choir room)

Quinn: Two years of memories are here in this room... (sits in a chair)

Puck: Yeah, it would've been great if we could make more memories here.

Quinn: I never said they were good memories.

(Puck sighs)

Quinn: Why are you still here?

Puck: What?

Quinn: Shouldn't you be gathering everyone else together to raise money for the glee club? There's no point in bothering me... I'm not going back. The only reason I agreed to go to the auditorium with you was because you said you'd give me money for thrift catches.

Puck: I'm here because we really need your help for glee. We could use all the help we can get.

Quinn: You're not getting my help.

Puck: (grabbing Quinn's arm as she tries to leave) The glee club's always been there for you at your lowest moments. Now, you have the chance to bring it back, and you're running away?

Quinn: Why are you fighting so hard for this club, Puck? Before glee, you were tossing Kurt into the dumpster and throwing slushies at Rachel. I thought you would be happy you won't be the one getting slushied anymore.

Puck: That was before glee. Then, I realized how much these people mean to me. I never thought I would like this club until I finally had the balls to join and realized this isn't just a club... this is a family. Our family.

Quinn: A family that only lets Rachel Berry shine on the competition stage. The only thing we ever seem to do is sing background to Berry and Finn. I got the duet with Sam last year, but Rachel still gave a huff about it. She says her life is hard... well, look at mine!

Puck: Remember sophomore year when you were pregnant and –

Quinn: (interrupting) How could I forget?

Puck: And got kicked off the Cheerios? Glee club was there looking out for you; we gave you a place to be yourself. It's senior year, Quinn. You'll only be seventeen once... make the best of it.

Quinn: (opens mouth to say something but closes it back)

Puck: Wait, sit down, Quinn.

Quinn: Why?

Puck: Just please sit down and listen to this... then you'll never have to hear from me again.

(Quinn sighs but sits in chair across from Puck)

Puck: (singing) What you're gonna do with the 36 cents

Sticky with coke on your floorboard

When a woman on the street is huddled in the cold

On a sidewalk bench trying to keep warm

Do you call her over, hand her the change

Ask her her story, ask her her name

Or do you tell yourself

"You're just a fool, just a fool to believe you can change the world."

"You're just a fool, just a fool to believe you can change the world."

What you're gonna do when you're watching TV
And an ad comes on, yeah, you know the kind
Flashing up pictures of a child in need
For a dime a day, you could save a life
Do you call the number, reach out a hand
Or do you change the channel, call it a scam
Do you tell yourself"You're just a fool, just a fool to believe you can change the world"
Don't listen to them when they say
"You're just a fool, just a fool to believe you can change the world"
Oh, the smallest thing can make all the difference
Love is alive, don't listen to them when they say
"You're just a fool, just a fool to believe you can change the world"The world's so big, it can break your heart
And you just want to help, not sure where to start
So you close your eyes
And send up a prayer into the dark"You're just a fool, just a fool to believe you can change the world"
Don't listen to them when they say
"You're just a fool, just a fool to believe you can change the world"
Oh, the smallest thing can make all the difference
Love is alive, don't listen to them when they say
"You're just a fool, just a fool to believe you can change the world"

(Tear drips down Quinn's cheek as she takes in breathe of air)

Puck: All I'm saying, Quinn, is you should take at least a second to think about it. If you want to come back, I'll see you in the auditorium at three-thirty next Wednesday. (shrugs then leaves room)

(Tina and Mike are in empty hallway)

Tina: I'm really glad we're still together.

Mike: Why wouldn't we be?

Tina: Ever since glee club disbanded, we don't see each other as much after school. With your football practice, and me not being on the Cheerios, I'm afraid the New Directions was the only thing we had in common.

Mike: (puts arm around Tina's waist, pulling her closer) I know you think I'm going to leave you for some cheerleader, but truth is, no girl will ever be able to give me what you give me.

Tina: And what's that?

Mike: (smiles) Happiness.

(Mike and Tina kiss, then walk down hall together)

Tina: I'm glad Finn, Artie, Puck, and Kurt aren't giving up on glee.

Mike: I am, too. Too bad Coach Beiste isn't donating any money to help out.

Tina: Why would she?

Mike: Well, Mr. Schue donated as much as he could, and he's asking Figgins to give us another year. Mr. Schue even asked Coach Beiste and Miss Pillsbury to pitch in a bit. Miss Pillsbury did, but Coach Beiste won't budge.

Tina: Really? Not even, like, a dollar? I thought she was friends with Mr. Schue.

Mike: She was before, but now, it's like she's only focused on football.

Tina: Um, okay? Why's that so weird?

Mike: I don't know... she's just a tougher coach now.

(bell rings as camera focuses on Mr. Schuester in Figgins' office)

Will: Just one year, Figgins, and I guarantee we'll place at Nationals!

Figgins: I already told you two years ago that you were getting one more year. It's been a year, and you haven't placed at Nationals. I can't pay for your glee club.

Will: The kids have been raising money to bring it back! If you just let us start now, we'll pay you back in no time!

Sue: No way!

Will: What are you doing here, Sue? This is about the glee club, not your Cheerios.
Figgins: Sue is here because she is an example of why your club isn't here anymore. Sue coached her Cheerios into winning six National championships, and that money goes in to paying for her squad. If you raise the money now, I may be able to let you go on for another year, but you'll have to pay your way through.

Sue: Deal with it, Schuester! Your glee club has been wiped off the Earth like the happiness was wiped off the face of this world when you were born. I showed you I could destroy your silly club, but you took that for granted and lost yet another ear-splitting show choir competition.

Will: I don't need to hear your endless insults, Sue!

Sue: And I don't need to hear the endless cries from the baby birds living in the nest of hair on your head, but guess what? The sounds of those wails empowers me to win National after National. You should use my insults as empowerment to shave off that embarrassing bush attaching itself to your scalp.

Will: I'm not giving up on glee club. (turns around and stomps out of Figgins' office)

(At Will's house, Emma makes Will dinner)

Will: I'm glad you and I are back together... but I wish the glee club was, too.

Emma: Don't worry, Will. You'll get the glee club back on it's feet in no time.

Will: I feel like I could faster, though. Shannon hasn't even given up a penny to help out glee!

Emma: Maybe she's trying to save up for something.

Will: But she knows how important glee club is to the kids and me. I really thought she would understand.

Emma: Maybe she just decided to keep her focus on football this year.

Will: Maybe...

Kurt: (catching up to Mercedes who's walking down hallway) Hey, Mercedes!

Mercedes: Hey, Kurt! What's up?

Kurt: I needed to know how much money you are willing to donate for glee, so I can plan out how much I may need to donate.

Mercedes: Wait, what? Donate to glee? Why?

Kurt: What do you mean 'why'? So we can start it back up again!

Mercedes: Oh, I'm sorry, Kurt, but I've moved on from that. I don't need glee club anymore now that I have Shane.

Kurt: (stops Mercedes) You can't be serious! Shane can't give you what glee gave you. Glee gave you a place to be yourself and belong as a family.

Mercedes: Who says Shane doesn't give me those things?

Kurt: C'mon, Mercedes. Help revive glee.

Mercedes: I'm really sorry, Kurt, but I've moved on (walks away).

Sue: (in voice-over while writing in journal) I've felt this way before. I felt this way the first time I squashed the glee club under my massive, championship trophies. And again, there was an emptiness to it... an emptiness I needed to fill.

Shannon: (knocks on Sue's door) Hey, Sue.

Sue: Beiste.

Shannon: I need to ask you a favor.

Sue: Ask away, but I gauruntee you I won't be doing anything about it.

Shannon: I need you to bring back glee club.

Sue: Why in the world would I do that when I've finally achieved what I've been working so hard for?

Shannon: Will and Emma keep asking me to donate to revive it, but I can't. The best thing I could give them was asking you to bring it back.

Sue: Why can't you spend all your money on glee club? Do you have to save it up for your three-thousand chicken carcasses you eat all day long?

Shannon: That's not it. It's because I spent most of it on a gift I gave to someone.

Sue: Why in the world would you do that?

Shannon: Because I really liked them, and I thought they liked me back. Turns out, I was wrong.

Sue: Oh, Shannon, your stupidity always defies me. The only way I'm bringing back glee club is if you give every last penny you have to me since it seems you don't mind tossing it all away.

Shannon: Fine, Sylvester. But don't be surprised when the glee club somehow gets back on it's feet without your help (walks out of Sue's office).

(Finn, Rachel, and Kurt walk through courtyard)

Finn: (singing) Lipstick on my cigarette
How you used to hog the bed
The little shit that I can't forget,
I wonder where you are
Still got your apartment key,
Voice mails that I can't delete
Man, I miss how it used to be, I wonder where you are
I reminisce with the stars tonight
And I think of how we knew them all by name
But they don't shine half as bright
Finn, Rachel, and Kurt: Ever since you walked away, oh

(Santana and Brittany join Finn, Rachel, and Kurt)
Santana and Brittany: If we get back together
It'll be like when I met ya

Tina, Mike, Artie: If we get back together

Even better, girl, I bet ya, babyFinn, Mike, Kurt, and Artie: Last call at the troubadour
Late night meals after four
Stumbling through my front door, it just don't feel the same
Can't go to our lunch spot, or grab Joe from the coffee shop
Looking down at my phone a lot, but I don't see your name
I reminisce with the stars tonight
And I think of how we knew them all by name
But they don't shine half as bright

(Group splits apart; Kurt goes to Santana and Brittany)

Kurt: I need your help.

Brittany: Did you murder someone?

Kurt: No, I need your help to get Mercedes back. She's not willing to donate money for the glee club and says she's moved on. I was hoping you would be able to somehow convince her to come back.

Santana: And how the hell are we supposed to do that?

Kurt: I don't know. Figure it out because we really need her back when glee club starts again.

Santana: If it starts again.

Brittany: I really hope it does.

(Tina and Mike go into locker room to Coach Beiste)

Shannon: You kids need something?

Tina: We overheard your conversation with Coach Sylvester the other day.

Mike: We know why you aren't helping with the glee club.

Tina: Yeah, and we have the perfect solution for it.

Shannon: What are you kids talking about?

Mike: You need to date someone.

Shannon: I'm sorry, but I'm pretty sure you don't know what I need in my love life.

Tina: C'mon, Coach Beiste! We found the perfect person for you!

Shannon: And who's that?

(someone walks up from behind Mike and Tina)

Ken: The name's Ken Tanaka, former coach of the McKinley Titans.

(Santana and Brittany meet Mercedes in old choir room)

Mercedes: Why did you want me to meet you here?

Santana: We needed to show you something.

Brittany: Yeah, and join in if you want.

Santana and Brittany: (singing) We've been waiting and dreaming
we've always believed in forever
We've been hoping for years
that our pennies just turn into gold
Our only rule is that we live this life in the moment,
But the futures're unknown
and the stories are yet to be told
Brittany: Who knows, who cares what we're gonna be
If you're near, I'm there - it will always be home,
wherever we go - ooh
Say we'll be always together
facing the sun as it rises up
Santana: Friends like you they last forever
and everybody singing ooh
Through the good or the bad and the better,
we'll find our way, no matter what
we can dance we can stay out whatever
Mercedes, Santana, and Brittany: We'll fall in love singing ooh
Lets go west down the river
or we could fly off on the highway
Throw our hands to the sky
feel the wind like the rush of a wave
Catching butterflies, summer skies,
chasing our dreams to the moonlight
Mercedes: Cause we live and we love
and we laugh all our troubles away
Who knows, who cares what we're gonna be
If you're near, I'm there – it will always be home
wherever we go ooh
Say we'll be always together
facing the sun as it rises up
Santana and Brittany: Friends like you they last forever
and everybody singing ooh
Through the good or the bad and the better
we'll find our way, no matter what
we can dance we can stay out whatever
Mercedes, Santana, and Brittany: We'll fall in love singing ooh
We could find a new place everyday
don't care could be anywhere
We could build a fire by the lake
Cause anywhere is home, wherever we go ooh

Santana: So, Mercedes? Will you come back to glee club?

Mercedes: (sighs) I don't know... a lot has changed over the summer.

Brittany: Mercedes! You have to come back! Don't you remember the reason you came to glee club anyway?

Mercedes: Because I wanted to be a star.

Santana: I hope you seriously don't believe that 'cause we both know the real reason everyone has joined glee club.

Brittany: It's the only place you'll truly be accepted for your differences. Being part of something special, makes you special just like Rachel said. Glee club is that special something.

(Mercedes stays silent, thinking)

Santana: Finn, Puck, Artie, and Kurt are gathering everyone who wants to bring glee back in the auditorium at three-thirty, which is in five minutes. If you want to live the rest of your life wondering what amazing things you would miss if you didn't go to the auditorium with us, then stay here. If you want to be happier and more special than you already are, then follow us to the auditorium.

(Santana and Brittany start to leave old choir room)

Mercedes: Wait! (Santana and Brittany turn around) (smiles) I'm coming with you.

(Finn, Puck, Artie, and Kurt are in auditorium)

Finn: Who do you think will come?

Puck: (shrugs) We'll just have to wait and find out.

Kurt: It's already three-thirty. I'm not sure anyone's coming.

Artie: Think again.

(Rachel comes in, followed by Santana, Brittany, and Mercedes)

Rachel: Hey, guys! (smiles)

Santana: Is it just me, or are there less people here than I expected?

Kurt: (hugs Mercedes) I'm so glad you decided to come back.

Mercedes: (smiles) I am, too.

Brittany: Where's Tina and Mike?

(Everyone shares glances, wondering the same thing; Mr. Schue then enters auditorium)

Will: Hey, guys.

Finn: Hey, Mr. Schue!

Will: Did Tina, Mike, and Quinn not come?

(Everyone nods before they hear door slam)

Tina: Hey, sorry we're late! (dashes on stage with Mike)

Artie: Where were you?

Mike: Helping a friend out.

(Coach Beiste and Ken Tanaka walk in behind Mike and Tina)

Will: Ken! What are you doing back here?

Ken: I'm now asisstent coach of the football team.

Will: Wow, I haven't seen you in awhile!

Ken: Anyway, I heard that you and Emma have moved in together.

(Mr. Schue looks nervous)

Ken: I wanted to apologize for being such a bad friend, Will. I put a lady before a friend, and I'm sorry.

Will: Thanks, but you really don't need to apologize.

Ken: (shakes his head) Yes, actually I do, which is also why I –

(door slams and Quinn comes running to the stage in her season one and two type clothing)

Puck: Quinn! You're back to your old self!

Quinn: (smiles) After you sang that song, I thought about it and realized you were right. Me dressing in torn clothes and joining the Skanks wasn't really my true self. I know that dying my hair blond and taking out my nose-ring might not change me entirely at the moment, but I'm willing to try. And glee club will help me with that. (turns to rest of group) You guys are my family. You helped me when I was at my lowest and brought me back here. I may not be perfect, but I'm better when I'm in glee. So I'm going to help pay our way back to revival.

(Puck hugs Quinn)

Ken: That's kind of what I needed to talk to you about, Will.

Will: What do you mean?

Ken: Coach and I talked to Figgins –

Will: And what did he say?

Ken: Well, we gave him extra money from football to restart glee club, and he accepted the offer.

(Everyone cheers)

Will: (to Ken and Shannon) Thank you guys so much! This is amazing!

Finn: (over the cheers of everyone) Sectionals here we come!

(Sue sits down next to Will, Emma, and Shannon in teacher's lounge)

Shannon: Hey, Sue! Did ya hear? The New Directions are back in business!

Sue: Excuse me?!

Emma: Glee club's back.

Sue: (to Will) There you go again, Mr. Butt-Chin. Trying to bring your awful glee club up the high school ladder of popularity in which they'll drop right off and die. We all know any club directed by a man-child dating a marmoset and who's best friends are teen outcasts will one day die down, but this club is never going to be alive.

Will: Sue, give up trying to destroy glee club. Whenever you prove that you can wipe glee club off the face of the earth, you also prove that it will come back each and every year again and again!

Sue: One day, I'll have no mercy on your little club of sad, depressed outcasts and will destroy them all!

Will: Bring... It... On!

Will: I can feel it building up inside
The images that play inside my mind
A dreams that I've been dreaming all my life
The colors that live outside of the linesFinn and Rachel: But dreams aren't all I hide beneath this skin
The cord is cut, the fears and doubts begin
My hope is anchored on the other side
With the colors that live outside of the linesQuinn and Puck: And the oceans roar
And the wheel's in spin
And the old chorus soars
Bring me back, bring me back to the beginning againMike and Tina: With the corrugated LA harbor stacks
With the weight of these machines across my back
I know a mountain road where time unwinds
But I'm busy living in a single-file lineSantana and Brittany: And it all just sounds like poison on my ears
The background noise makes your voice so hard to hear
So I grit my teeth and straighten up my spine
I'm stuck in traffic on a dotted yellow lineKurt and Mercedes: And my heart is yours
And what a broken place it's in
But you're what I'm running for
And I want to feel the wind at my back againNew Directions and Will: Back to the beginning again
Back to the beginning again
I want to feel the wind at my back again
Back to the beginning again
Back to the beginning again
I want to feel the wind at my back againWill: And my heart is yours
And what a broken place it's in
But you're what I'm running for
And I want to feel the wind at my back againNew Directions and Will: Back to the beginning again
Back to the beginning again
I want to feel the wind at my back again
Back to the beginning again
Back to the beginning again
I want to feel the wind
I want to feel the wind
I want to feel the wind at my back again
