The time had come, glee club practice had begun and the quire room was as about as full as it could be. Some of the band members were arriving as well and getting themselves and their instruments ready. Seating arrangement was as usual, Artie, Blaine, Brittany, Ryder, Marley and Joe made up the front row while Kitty, Jake, Unique, Sugar, Sam and Tina sat on the back ones. What had kept everyone at the edge of their seats was who would give the class this week. Mr. Schuester was still sick and unable to attend McKinley, Finn left after some weeks before and after Principal Figgins found out that Blaine and Sam took charge last week during their "Guilty Pleasures" theme week, he threatened to suspend glee club unless a qualified faculty member took charge. As soon as the door opened, everyone at the room sighted with relief, it was no other than Emma Pillsbury, the schools guidance counselor.
Emma cleared her throat and gave out the announcement everyone was assuming was about to come. "Hello everyone, I overheard your little problem concerning Will's absence and I volunteered to be your instructor for this week at glee club, unless Mr. Schuester gets better before that time anyways."
"I don't want to sound like a bitch but why exactly would you contribute to the club? At least Finn and his lame rip-off of Mr. Schue's already lame fashion sense knew how to lead a team." Kitty quickly remarked.
"Good thing you sounding like a bitch wasn't your intention." Unique replied back.
"Well in case you're not comfortable with me leading the glee club I could always tell coach Sylvester to take the position, she seemed interested in taking on the position as well." Emma said as she was about to turn around and leave the room.
"Well as a matter of fact it wouldn't be a ba-…" Before finishing her sentence the whole club interrupted in unison with a "Shut up!"
"Wait Ms. Pillsbury, what we actually meant was that we would be thrilled to have you again as an instructor. I'm sure Artie as well as myself enjoyed your time with us during sectionals three years ago!" Tina quickly said as Emma turned back with a smile.
"Why thank you Tina, I'm quite excited myself. After seeing everything you've been capable of doing as a group it's only an honor to help out shape you for your next competition." She replied as she walked her way to the whiteboard. "With all of the testosterone this club has had on the director department as well as seeing some of you girls in costume and on character last week while walking on the hallways I figure this assignment will be quite fitting." Emma said as she wrote "Girl Power" on the whiteboard.
In less than a second after the words were written on the board, all girls gave out a loud screech of joy after seeing the iconic words written.
"Oh my God! That's like the Spice Girls motto, is this week's assignment Spice themed?" Kitty asked, as she looked way too excited to even contain herself.
"That's right! After finally finishing watching the whole closing ceremony of last year's Olympics on YouTube I remembered that during the 90's the world was a Spice Girls crazy, and the whole meaning of their songs is about having a good time and enjoying yourself, which is basically what we do her don't we?" Emma asked the group as the reaction from the group was a bit divided.
"But the girls sort of sang there only famous song last week, wouldn't it be redundant to do this?" Jake asked with a puzzled expression on his face.
"Are you insane? Wannabe was just the beginning of everything, they have more famous song than this club has members!" Kitty snapped back at Jake.
"Someone's inner geek is showing, and I kind of like it!" Ryder playfully said as Kitty glared back at him.
"Save it dimwit, being a fan does not make it geeky." Kitty said coldly as she turned away from Ryder.
"Hey there's nothing wrong about liking the Spice Girls, they were awesome and hot back at the time. They still are." Ryder replied back at Kitty to try to make amends.
Emma quickly continued explaining what the assignment would consist off. "So after seeing the costumes I would like to divide you on teams, each representing your respective Spice, first off for team Ginger, Kitty will be team captain. Brittany will lead team Sporty, Tina will be team leader of Scary, Unique is in charge of team Baby and Marley will be taking care of team Posh. I'll put everyone's name on a bottle and each team captain will come and pick a paper to see who's in each team." As soon as she finished, Emma wrote everyone's name on a piece of paper and then ripped it in little pieces, which she filled a small plastic bottle with. "Alright, Tina you come on first!"
Tina sank her hand on the bottle and grabbed one of the little papers with a name on it. "Jake, apparently you were destined to join team Scary, try to keep up with the pace." She said in a joking tone to Jake Puckerman.
Emma called Unique next and handed her the bottle with the names on it.
"Sugar, baby, we'll be teaming up, hun!" Unique said as Sugar jumped with excitement.
"Marley, you're next to pick." Emma said as she handed over the bottle to Tina.
As she heard her name, Marley got up on her feet and happily grabbed a piece of paper from the bottle. "So first lucky member of team Posh will be… Artie!" She then went back to her seat as she gave Artie a thumbs up.
Emma smiled at the joy filling the room as she called out the next team leader. "Brittany it's your turn now."
The blonde Cherrio walked her way to the bottle as she picked a paper herself. "Blaine Warbler, we'll be teaming up. This should be fun!" She said as she smiled to the former Dalton Academy Warbler, who returned the smile back at her.
"Okay, Kitty its your turn now." She said as the head cheerleader walked her way to the plastic bottle and grabbed a name.
"Ugh, this is just perfect. Ryder you'll be in my team. Consider yourself lucky." She said, as her look of annoyance over the result was apparent.
"Okay so this means we'll have two teams of three, that means Marley, Brittany and Kitty have their teammates for the challenge already chosen. Tina come on over to grab another paper." Emma instructed Tina as she once again went and picked one of the two remaining pieces of paper from the bottle.
"Joe will be joining us as well. Team Scary is up and ready!" Tina said cheerfully as Joe looked way more excited than Jake over the situation.
"I guess that leaves Sam in Team Baby." Emma said as both Sugar and Unique both grabbed on to one of his arms simultaneously. "This means we are ready to get this show going, now before we finish today's session, would our team captains care to spice up our lives?"
All five girls faces were filled with joy as the stepped over to the front of the quire room.
"Hit it!" Marley said as the band started to play the melody of the Spice Girls second biggest hit, "Spice Up Your Life", which the girls went ahead to sing while the rest of the club sang and danced while watching with excitement.
