I was surprised to see that there was not Britannia High and Glee crossovers! oh well I'm starting a new trend. rating for language.
Start of Something
"Wait Jesse asked for us?" asked Danny. He looked to his five friends. They had been called into Mr Nugent's office.
"Yes! Jesse St James is the new show choir consulate for the McKinley High school's glee Club New directions and as a last minute rule change they are need of a support act. The school will pay for the flights and the accommodation in New York for you to perform and you all will be accommodated with a member of the glee club" explained Mr Nugent.
"Do we have to? I mean show choir isn't my scene" exclaimed Claudine. Lauren rolled her eyes.
"Claudine we get to travel to America! I mean New York it's like the biggest place ever!" exclaimed Lauren
"Plus we could get to go shopping" a very over excited Lola stated.
"Plus we'd be doing by my cousin a favour" explained Danny. Claudine flashed a fake smile.
"So you all leave at the end of this week to fly over to Ohio and Jesse St James and Mr Will Shuster will be there to greet you and introduce you to the club. Stefan and Anna will accompany you to Ohio and New York. You will be out there for three weeks in total and we'd give you all the academic work you need to do so you won't miss out in any work. Think of it as an experience to enhance you skills. It will look good on your CV and improve your chances of getting jobs after graduation next year" explained Mr Nugent. Lola got excited as the six left the teacher's office.
"Amazing! We get to go the home of the father Sam and get to go to the big orange" excitedly. Lauren smiled as the rest giggled loudly
"Lola its Uncle Sam and New York is the big apple" explained BB as he kissed his girl on the cheek.
"Silly me" smiled Lola as BB kissed her.
"Speaking of apples lets go I'm hungry" exclaimed Danny as he jumped up high. He was excited. Firstly he hadn't seen his favourite cousin since he got into Britannia High but also he had never been to America.
"You're always hungry babe" smiled Claudine as she toke his arm.
This aggravated Lauren a little bit. Sure the drama between them had stopped but it sucked for her to see Claudine flirting her big eyes at Danny right in front of her. Truth be told she wasn't as over Danny as she hoped.
"Guys I'll catch you up. I'm going to practise in the auditorium" explained Lauren.
"Sure thing" said BB as he joined the rest.
Lauren slipped into the auditorium and sat at the piano. She began to play the notes to her favorite song of the minute.
"I know I can be a little stubborn sometimes
A little righteous and too proud
I just wanna find a way to compromise
Cause I believe we can work things out
I thought that I had all the answers
never giving in
but baby since you've gone
I admit I was wrong" sang Lauren as put all of her energy into playing the piano.
"All I know is I'm lost without you
I'm not gonna lie
how am I gonna be strong without you
I need you by my side
if we ever say we'd never be together
in the end you wave goodbye
dunno what I'd do
I'm lost without you
I keep trying to find my way
and all I know is I'm lost without you
I keep trying to face the day
I'm lost without you" sang Lauren. She was unaware that someone had snuck in. She was so concentrated in the song.
"How am I ever gonna get rid of these blurs
baby I'm so lonely all the time
everywhere I go I get so confused
you're the only thing that's on my mind
On my bed so cold at night
I miss you more each day
only you can make it right
no I'm not too proud to say
All I know is I'm lost without you
I'm not gonna lie
how am I gonna be strong without you
I need you by my side
if we ever say we'd never be together
in the end you wave goodbye
dunno what I'd do
I'm lost without you
I keep trying to find my way
and all I know is I'm lost without you
I keep trying to face the day
I'm lost without you" passionately express Lauren. She allowed her self to cry a bit. Her spectator began to edge closer. It was Jez. He was drawn into song. He noticed the pain she was in.
"If I could only hold you now
make the pain just go away
can't stop the tears from running down my face (ho)
All I know is I'm lost without you
I'm not gonna lie
how am I gonna be strong without you
I need you by my side
if we ever say we'd never be together
in the end you wave goodbye
dunno what I'd do
I'm lost without you
I keep trying to find my way
and all I know is I'm lost without you
I keep trying to face the day
an all I know is
I'm lost without your love
I keep trying to find my way
and all I know is
I'm lost without you (ho)
I'm lost without you "
" Sang Lauren. When she played the last note she let a tear fall down her face. She rested her head
"That's amazing" said Jez. Lauren jumped out of her skin. She turned round and realised it was Jez. "I didn't mean to scare you. I mean those notes were perfect. Claudine would be jealous"
"It's nothing. Look I'm just coming I just needed to sing that" silently cried Lauren as she tired to wipe her tears.
"You ok?" asked Jez as he toke a chair to sit beside the young brunette.
"Is it possible to not be over someone but pretend that you are over them?" asked Lauren. Jez smiled.
"It's Danny isn't it?" asked Jez
"Predictable huh?" sighed Lauren
"He's with Claudine now! Smile someone's out there for you. Hey America might have someone" explained Jez.
"I hope so. Why do you have to be gay?" asked Lauren.
"Because all the best guys are" cheekily responded Jez. Both left the auditorium and headed to the canteen.
Will Shuster wrote the word "Britannia" on the white board.
"Now as you may realise we need a support act for nationals…." Explained Will.
"Mr Shu what does have to do with me and Santana? We aren't dating" asked Britney. The gang looked at Britney in utter confusion. Santana gave Britney a look that could kill. She didn't want people to know she was a lesbian yet Britney unknowing kept dropping hints.
"No Britney it's the topic for this week assignment. Anything British you can sing to our guests when they arrive here by the end of this week and we are holding them a concert to welcome them here. I want you guys to look into to welcome our guests and supporting act. Jesse is going to explain more" explained Will. Jesse stepped forward as he set up his laptop to YouTube.
"Now I can explain how amazing this group is or I can let you listen to them. This is the Britannia High class of 2012 who will supporting us." Proudly exclaimed Jesse as he clicked on the link of the class singing a song called "Start of something" in their final year show.
"There really good" exclaimed Tina.
"They can sign and dance which makes us look good" Mercedes claimed in excitement.
"That curly hair guys is a lot like you sweetie" exclaimed Rachel.
"That will be because he is my cousin. One of many reasons why I asked Mr Nugent, their head teacher to come and support us" Explained Jesse
"Damn he has the better genes outta the two" exclaimed Mercedes. Rachel gave her a dirty look. "Telling the truth girlfriend"
"Now I convinced Mr Nugent if he paid for flights and their New York hotel stay then we could accommodate them only staying here for two weeks which means one of you will be having a member of the support act staying with you and the family. Now since Danny is Jesse's cousin he gets to stay with Jesse and the two teachers accompanying the school will be staying with both me and Emma so I need five volunteers so I will be contacting your parents to see if it is ok for you to have a guest." Explained Will. Rachel excited put up her hand.
"Mr. Shue if Jesse is ok with it I want to show a Britannia theme" exclaimed Rachel.
"Great Jesse do you know which song?" asked Will
"Rolling in the deep by Adele" said Jesse. The piano played the first note but Rachel's demanding voice began the song.
"There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch,
it's bringing me out the dark" Rachel sang looking at Finn. It was clear to everyone except Finn and Jesse that Rachel wasn't over Finn but he was with Quinn. Quinn it wasn't love all she wanted him for was a popularity contest but surely it was all done. Quinn lost to Kurt in the run for prom queen and she didn't love Finn. Did she?
"Finally I can see you crystal clear
Go head and sell me out
and I'll lay your shit bare
See how I leave with every piece of you
Don't underestimate the things that I will do
There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch
And its bring me out the dark
The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling" sang Jesse with his eyes looking at Rachel. He was happy that she forgave him and she was with him. He loved her.
"We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand
And you played it
To the beat" Sang Jesse and Rachel in unison looking in depth of each other.
"Baby I have no story to be told
But I've heard one of you
And I'm gonna make your head burn
Think of me in the depths of your despair
Making a home down there
It reminds you of the home we shared" Rachel sang looking at Finn.
"The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling" sang Jesse grabbing Rachel to look at him. He cared for the pint sized brunette. He wasn't gonna let Finn steal
"We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand
And you played it" sang Jesse and Rachel in union. Both so passionately that you'd think they were signing it for each other. Like a love song but they were singing a hate song
"with the beat
Throw your soul through every open door" Jesse sang looking at Rachel. Rachel stared back. The song was like a fight which Rachel was determine to win.
"Count your blessings to find what you look for" Rachel sang back. Like a dagger from her mouth
"Turned my sorrow into treasured gold" Jesse sang back.
"You pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow" Rachel sang back as if it was to make sure she got the last line in before they joined there voices in union.
"We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand
And you played it
To the beat
You could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand
And you played it
To the beat
"And you played it
And you played it
And you played it
To the beat" sang Rachel and Jesse. Both finished the dramatic hate song with a smile.
"That song is British? how comes its been in the charts in america?" asked Britney.
"song become successful that they are represented by British singer but make it big in America. You have a whole host of British artists from the Beatles to Leona Lewis. Look up on Wikipedia then search for the song. We'll select the songs to sing for our guests on Thursday and on Friday the concert will start at 6 be here for rehearsal at the end of school. Don't be late!" said Will Shuster. The glee members left with Rachel lagging behind. Finn touched her shoulder.
"Look can I talk to you?" asked Finn while he and Rachel left the room.
"You had time to talk about a few months ago" spat Rachel as she began to open her locker.
"Look I'm sorry but you have Jesse…."explained Finn.
"And you have Quinn or was losing prom just not enough to keep your relationship together?" snappily replied Rachel.
"Look I don't love her any more is that what you want to hear?" asked Finn.
"You know what I want to hear but you're just too scared to say it. Jesse did. Look lets just focus on our assignment ok" kindly said Rachel as she slammed her locker shut. Finn realised he knew what song to sing. He went to the library and began to look up the music for James Blunt. He knew the song he'd pick to express how he felt
"I can't believe you guys are going to America in less that two days" exclaimed Ronnie as she served the six their lunch. It had been four days since Lauren sang in the auditorium and Jez had kept the secret of her feelings for Danny.
"I can't wait!" exclaimed a very excited Lola. BB smiled at his over active girlfriend.
"New York is like amazing so we have to share with a show choir group but it's the Big apple." said Claudine.
"You're excited now about it?" asked Lauren
"Well yeah! If I can't make it there I won't make it anywhere" stated Claudine as she looked at Danny.
"Claudine's right! This could be the start of something" said Danny. He smiled as he kissed Claudine on the cheek.
"So you have to give me some post cards from America" exclaimed Ronnie.
"Definitely. Wish you could come instead of Anna" said Danny. Unknowingly to him Anna was walking behind him
"Bear in mind Mr Miller I can pass or fail your 2nd year" said Anna with a hidden evil smile
"You are the best Anna!" Smiled Danny. Anna smiled as she went to sit with the other teachers at the school.
"Such a suck up Danny" said BB as he cuddled Lola. The noticed the bell rang so headed towards dance class.
Finn was looking through sheet music in the library when he was approached by Quinn.
"Hey why you looking for sheet music?" asked Quinn
"Glee assignment. I have the perfect song but need the music. Should you be doing the same thing?" asked Finn
"Its what I want to talk to you about. We need to leave glee" stated Quinn. Finn quickly turned round
"What?" exclaimed Finn.
"You heard me. We're not cool anymore and I can't be a senior being the lowest of low. I lost junior prom queen to Kurt I need to win prom queen as a senior and Glee isn't helping our reputation" expressed Quinn.
"Wait you quit Cheerios for Glee" said Finn
"All to win you back from man hands" answered Quinn
"Stop making fun of her" said Finn.
"ok its either Rachel and Glee or me and no Glee. You have Friday to decide" said Quinn as she left the library. Finn sighed as he found the song he was looking for.
