HELL ON ICE: the storm of 2008
NOTE: this story is based off the terrible ice storm in the New England area back in 2008. This is what would have happened of New Directions was there. I have personally witnessed the hell that happened that day. This is the story.
CHAPTER 1: from Boston with notes
Matt slowly rose from his chair and grabbed a gallon can of beer. such was the life he now enjoyed- 25 years later after the storm.
However- unlike finn and his wife in another universe; this was really really deadly. It near killed him; and well; let's just say everything else.
"hey Rach- I got to run over to the network and get a few more reads of that script some kid sent me..."
"sure. don't kill your self. after all- the kids still need you to buy them the white house."
"I told you- I already bought it" he said sarcastically
He then exited.
Later; as he was putting his kids to bed....
"Dad; tell us a story" they asked
"which one?"
"a new one."
"yeah- a real good one."
"would you like me to tell you about how your mother and I survived the ice storm of '08?"
"sure."
So he thought back to the days during the ice storm...
"so Will- why are we up in N.E.?" asked Emma (who; for the sake of this story is his wife.)
"vacation." said Will
"and you brought ND along?"
"yeah- I have a friend they will want to meet."
"Adam? Anthony? the rest of RENT? who is it?"
"A old friend who's married to an old student of mine."
"he... I know who he is! Matt?"
"didn't he....?" asked Artie
"they aren't married yet. take a year or two before they all meet up in a time rip with the chipmunks; who are old friends of his." said Will
"we met him!" said Quinn
"why the hell is she here?" asked Puck
"they said that Matt knew this man who would tell you about the B-A-B-Y that you two pocreated." said Emma
"who? Will Raymer?" said Artie
"Yup." said Will
So- as they left Logan (airport); they herd a voice.
"Quinn; did you and Puck pocreate on the plane? I see jizz!" yelled Matt; a young 13 year old kid with facial hair
"no- that's...." said Quinn
"from Emma." said Rachel
"Baby!" said Matt
"do you know each other?" asked Quinn
"let me answer that by sing you a little something a little something you may remember.
I cant fight this feeling any longer
And yet Im still afraid to let it flow
What started out as friendship, has grown stronger
I only wish I had the strength to let it show
And even as I wander
Im keeping you in sight
Youre a candle in the window
On a cold, dark winters night
And Im getting closer than I ever thought I might
And I cant fight this feeling anymore
Ive forgotten what I started fighting for
Its time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars
Baby, I cant fight this feeling anymore
My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you
Ive been running round in circles in my mind
And it always seems that Im following you, girl
Cause you take me to the places that alone Id never find
And even as I wander Im keeping you in sight
Youre a candle in the window on a cold, dark winters night
And Im getting closer than I ever thought I might
And I cant fight this feeling anymore
Ive forgotten what I started fighting for
Its time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars, forever
Cause I cant fight this feeling anymore
Ive forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crushing through your door
Baby, I cant fight this feeling anymore." said Matt; upon singing the last line he pulled out a black box
"does this answer the question?" Matt asked
"he... not for years... after the disaster... the ice storm... what the hell...." said Raymer
"Rachel- I have always been one to be selfish. I will admit that. But when I found out that I would have to lose you to save you in the future- I decided to do this now- with as many witness as I can get so I can't get myself out of this at the past minuet. I want to share my life- and our kids with you. The kids need me- and you too; I hope. So- what I mean to say is;
Cause we belong together now, yeah
Forever united here somehow, yeah
You got a piece of me
And honestly,
My life (my life) would suck (would suck) without you.
Baby- will you take me with all your heart, soul, and knowledge that the road a head is going to be rough. With kids on the way as we speak- and not to mention that we live on difernet ends of the US; we have to make this work. The kids- they need us together. I don't want to end up like our firned turned lesbo Quinn and her "baby daddy- but really though I lied and said it was someone else" Puck. So- what I have meant
to say is; remember what got you here- at this moment when we'll be telling our kids in years future; a hot bod- great voice and damn good sex!"
They all stared at him.
"baby- marry me and I'll tell you what would have happened. what could have... what did not. marry me; eh?"
"hell yeah!" she said
"so Matt- any idea..." said Will
"shhhh. She doesn't know. we haven;t gotten that far yet. she won't know for a few months after the time rift. But I forgot and we did. so- the April time line will fade until it doesn't exist." said Matt
"did you or not?" Emma asked
"it's complicated, eh?" said Matt
"why does he say eh?" asked Emma
"he's Canadian. with any luck the kids will say it too." said Will
"wait- they..."
"I guess so- since I see the bump."
"wait- the best singer in the club...got knocked up by one of the best people in the world. damn they'll have great kids." said Emma REALLY LOUD
"You know?" asked Matt
"I'll tell her something crazy so you can hold on to at least some shred of life."said Will
"guess it's time to get going." said Emma
So they all piled in to Matt's car; and drove away.
