A/N: I've never tried putting music into my stories so we'll see how this goes. Please feel free to leave comments and reviews. Hope you enjoy
Chapter One
Mr Schuester could barely contain his excitement for the news he was about to deliver as all the Glee Club members filed in to the choir room.
"Alright gang" he clapped his hands together and instantly gained the attention of all his students "I have some very exciting news. A new programme has been developed to encourage international relations within the performing arts education community, allowing high school students to spend some time abroad checking out performing arts colleges" Will watched as the students processed this information, excited but confused "Now, as the national show choir champions, we have been chosen to send members abroad to our designated partner school in England" Now the kids were all holding onto the edges of their seats and squealing in excitement. "Unfortunately, we can only send six students, and I figured the fairest way to do this was to draw names from a hat. Take these note cards" he said handing one to every member "write your name and put it in the hat on the piano." The kids quickly obeyed, each and every one of them dying for this opportunity. Giving the hat a shake, the teacher delved his hand into the hat "And the first name is; Blaine! Congratulations"
"Yes!" Blaine exclaimed, Kurt hugged him tightly, the rest of the club cheering
"Next; Sam"
"Alright, Blam trip" he high-fived his best friend
"Tina" Schuester announced
"Yes, Maybe in England I'll get a solo" and everyone laughed
"Marley"
"Really? Are you serious" Blake hugged his girlfriend proudly
"Well, look at this, Blake you're going too"
"Oh my god, this is amazing" he quickly kissed his girls cheek before hugging her tightly once more
"And finally; Brittany"
"Awesome"
"Congratulations you guys, see me after rehearsal for the paperwork"
That night whilst Kurt and Blaine were studying, or at least attempting to, Blaine was way too ecstatic to concentrate
"I'm so jealous, come on, which one of us Glee kids loves England the most?" Kurt teased
"Haha, I know babe, it would be so much better if we were going together. We still could one day. Think of it this way, you're going to New York first so can find all the nice coffee shops there, and I'll do the same for London."
"Alright, deal." Kurt conceded with a smile and a kiss "Go show England how talented you are"
Marley and Blake were also trying and failing to do their homework.
"Blake, I can't go to London" Marley admitted sadly out of nowhere
"What? Why?" Blake said slowly as he moved closer to comfort her
"There is no way I can afford this. It's not fair to my mom. And it's not like I'm ever gonna study abroad either for that very reason"
"But babe, you can't miss this opportunity. As for the money I'm sure we'll manage it, there's time to fundraise, maybe the school will loan you, your mom works there after all, and you're on honor roll"
Marley still looked unsure. Blake quickly opened a new tab on his laptop and quickly found the karaoke track he was looking for

Let me catch my breath.
This is really hard.
If I start to look like I'm sweating, well He took a comical sniff at his shirt
it's 'cause I am.
I'm not good with words.
But that's nothing new. He smiled at the irony of these words considering his dyslexia.
Still I have to try to explain what I will do
With you.
With you.
Run away with me.
Let me be your ride out of town.
Let me be the place that you hide.
We can make our lives on the go.
Run away with me.
Texas in the summer is cool.
We'll be on the road like Jack Kerouac
Looking back,
Sam, you're ready,let's go
Anywhere.
Get the car packed and throw me the key.
Run away with me.
Blake took Marley's hands and stared lovely into her eyes
Look, I know it's fast.
I'm in love with you.
Sam, it's crazy, but Sam, I'm crazier for you.
I have these plans.
Sam, I have these plans
Of a house that we build on a bay
When we run away.
Let me be your ride out of town.
Let me be the place that you hide.
We can make our lives on the go.
Run away with me.
Alabama heat - sign me up.
We'll be on the road like some country song.
Won't be long.
Sam, you're ready.
Let's go
Anywhere.
Get the car packed and throw me the key.
Run away with me.
I'm not trying to make you a wife here,
I'm not trying to tie you down.
I'm just saying there may be a life here -
A new one as soon as we run,
Just as soon as we run.
Run away
Let me be your ride out of town.
Let me be the place that you hide.
We can make our lives on the go.
Run away with me.
Mississippi mud - watch me slide.
We'll be on the road like Jack Kerouac,
Looking back.
Sam, you're ready, Sam
Let me be your ride out of town.
Run away with me.
California dreams here we come
Romeo is calling for Juliet
Ready, set
Sam, you're ready.
Let's go
Anywhere.
Say the word and I'm already there!
Run away with me.
"Look, if it wasn't about the money, would you go?"
"Of course I would"
"Right then, you're going. Besides, think of it as our first holiday as a couple" Blake smiled, and finally got Marley to crack one too
"Well if you put it that way"
*Across the ocean*
The cafeteria of Britannia High was buzzing. Danny, Lauren, Jez, BB, Claudine and Lola were sat in their usual booth.
"Attention ladies and gents" Mr Nugent's voice boomed across the room "In the last term we will be joined by some students from across the pond, that are from the high school that won national showchoir champions last year" some murmured their approval of this accolade "So we're looking for some of you lot to be mentors to them during their stay and help them put on a special showcase" the groups faces brightened up, they'd become quite the team and knew this was something they could do to impress.
"Yo Mr Nugent we got this" Danny yelled gesturing to his friends, some other students giggled whilst Mr Nugent smiled
"Right then, that's sorted, enjoy your lunch everybody"
"This is going to be amazing" Lola squealed
"We are gonna have so much fun" Claudine uncharacteristically agreed
"We have actually got to teach them stuff guys" Jez chipped in, ever the voice of reason
"Chill dude. They're just kids they'll believe anything you tell them" BB joked trying to relax his best friend
"They're in high school, not that much younger than us" Jez pointed out.
Danny's face lit up, he'd clearly come up with a cheeky comment "Ooh will there be any fit girls" everyone stared unimpressed at Danny's joke "What?!"
"Unbelievable" muttered Jez as he walked away
"Gross" the girls muttered as they followed
