I do not own the characters of Glee. They rightfully belong to Ryan Murphy. I only own this idea.
"What are we all doing here, Mr. Shuester? Not that I'm not happy to see everybody again, I'm just confused.", asked Santana as she sat down in the choir room among the new and old Glee members. "I don't know, Santana. I got the same text message from Sam that you did.", replied Mr. Shuester from his seat in the front row. They were all waiting for the blonde in question to arrive and nobody could seem to get a hold of him. "Blaine, try calling him again. He usually always answers your call.", said Ryder as he looked down at the raven headed teen. "His phone is turned off.", replied Blaine as he slid his cell back into his pocket. Everybody in the room fell silent when the blonde in question walked into the room with his hands clasped tightly behind his back, he was dressed in a U.S. Marines Uniform. "Nice camo, Sam. Now why are we all here?", asked Finn from his seat beside an annoyed looking Rachel.
"As if the uniform doesn't explain it already, Finn. I applied to the Army when I was 15 and now I got my notice in the mail that they needed to recruit more 'new' soldiers to the base in Raytown. I was chosen among many others to be recruited to the base for training and then we'll be moved up into the real thing.", explained Sam as he paced the choir room floor. "Sam, you have to be 18 to apply.", said Mr. Shuester in confusion as he rose from his seat. "I lied about my age, Mr. Shuester. My Uncle was in the Army, so was my Dad, and now it's my turn.", explained the blonde as he looked over at his Teacher. "You've got to be kidding me, you can't do this.", said Puck as he rose from his seat, too. "Do you know how dangerous it is out there, Sam?", asked Finn, who had been sent back from the Army. "I know just how dangerous it is. My Uncle is a double amputee, he lost both of his legs from the knee down.", explained Sam.
"Sam, are you? Are you sure that you want to do this?", asked Blaine as he walked over to the blonde. "I'm positive, I want to take my chance to defend this country.", said Sam as he looked down at the raven headed teen. "You better come back.", said Brittany with tears in her eyes as she walked over and hugged him tightly, soon having Blaine join in on the hug. "I promise, Brittany, I'll come home. When I do, I want you all to be here, in this exact room.", said Sam with determination in his voice. "We'll be here, dude.", said Puck as he walked over and hugged him, too, soon joined by Finn. The rest of the previous Glee Club members all joined in on that hug, practically squeezing all of the air out of him. "Guys. Can't. Breathe.", managed out the blonde from the middle of the hug. That statement just made them all hug him tighter until his lips started to turn blue.
"I don't know the rest of you very much but you're still a part of this family, which means you're a part of my family. When I promised that I'd come back to them, I'll be coming back to you all, too. I'll write you all as much as I can, and I'll see if I can get the chance to video chat with you.", promised Sam as he faced the new group of Glee Club members. "You better bring your butt home. We need you here, man.", said Ryder as he walked over and hugged Sam. "I expect some pictures, dude.", said Jake as he smiled over at the blonde. "I'll take as many as possible.", replied the blonde teen as he too smiled at Jake. "You may not be the brightest light bulb in the box, but you're smart for wanting to defend your country.", said Kitty as she walked over and surprisingly hugged him. "We'll miss you, Sam. Glee won't be the same without you.", said Marley as she hugged him with tears in her eyes. "You're one of the sweetest guys I know, and we're not ready to lose you.", said Unique as she too hugged him. "I love you, guys. All of you. I promise you that I will come home, I give you my word. In my world, that's that. I will come home.", said Sam as he stood up to his full height and put a determined look on his face.

"From this moment on, you are United States Marine recruits. You will keep your head down, do as your instructor tells you, and follow orders of any Senior Marine in any of the barracks. Do you understand?", asked the Drill Instructor at the front of the bus that they were all on once they reached the Raytown base. "Sir yes, Sir!", they all called back at the exact same time. "I can't hear you! Speak with some conviction!", ordered the Drill Instructor. "Sir yes, Sir!", they all screamed out again, their chests raised with each word. "Grab your bag on the way out the door, and form 5 lines in front of each Senior Marine at the front of the main house. Once there, you will be assessed by the Marine and then granted permission to enter the main housing unit. You will pass by rows of tables, you will pick up one of each item on the tables and place them in your bag. The items will be used during your four week training course, and the skills you learn will be used on the battle ground. You will pass through the main housing unit and will join a Senior Marine in the side building where you will be groomed to acceptance and given steadier glasses if needed.", explained the Drill Instructor as he gestured towards the door and the bags lines up by it.
Everybody rose from their seats and formed a line in the isle of the bus, with Sam in the middle, waiting for the Drill Instructor to give them permission. "Move!", ordered the Instructor as he stepped back to allow all of them to pass by him. Each person on the bus passed by him and picked up one of the empty tan/dark green bags before they formed lines in front of each of the Senior Marines. "Name?", asked the Senior Marine in front of Sam. "Sir, this cadet's name is Samuel Xavier Evans, Sir.", replied Sam as he stepped up to the line in front of the man. That was his first mistake. "Did I tell you to step forward, cadet?!", asked the Marine as he looked down at the teen. "Sir, no, Sir.", replied the blonde as he stepped back again. "Step forward, cadet. Answer this for me, a majority of Marines are equipped with what?", asked the Senior Marine. "M16A4 service riffle, more recently, an M4 carbine.", explained Sam as he stood up to his full height once again.
