This Moment

~Ever since Brittany broke up with him and started dating Santana, seriously? My girlfriend left me for another girl? Artie had been feeling pretty down. Then along came Alexis.~

Artie singing

When a cute redhead walked into the choir room in the middle of the semester, everyone was pretty confused, seeing as no one had seen her around school before.

"Hi! Is this the Glee Club?"

"Yes, I'm Mr. Schuester. Did you want to audition?"

"Ooh, yes, can I?"

After getting past his shock, He replied, "Yeah, of course! Just tell the band the song, and we can see what you got!"

She whispered something to the bassist, and after looking rather surprised, nodded and told the rest of the guys what to play. The rest of them looked pretty surprised, too.

When the first few notes played, Artie recognized the song immediately. It was one of his favorites.

I fly with the stars in the skies

I am no longer trying to survive

I believe that life is a prize

But to live doesn't mean you're alive

Don't worry about me and who I fire

I get what I desire

It's my empire

And yes, I call the shots, I am the umpire

I sprinkle holy water upon the vampire

In this very moment I'm king
In this very moment I slayed Goliath with a sling
This very moment I bring
put it on everything, that I will retire with the ring
and I will retire with the crown, Yes
no I'm not lucky I'm blessed, Yes
clap for the heavyweight champ, Me
but I couldn't do it all alone, We

She was good. Really good.
Young Money raised me, grew up out in Baisley
Southside Jamaica, Queens and it's crazy
cuz I'm still hood, Hollywood couldn't change me
shout out to my haters, sorry that you couldn't faze me
Ain't being cocky, we just vindicated
Best believe that when we done this moment will be syndicated
I don't know,
this night just remind me of
Everything they deprived me of
P-p-p-p-put your drinks up
It's a celebration every time we link up
We done did everything they could think of
Gr-Gr-Greatness is what we on the brink of

I wish that I could have this moment 4 life, 4 life, 4 life
Cause In this moment, i just feel so alive, alive, alive
I wish that I could have this moment 4 life

Rachel, Quinn, and Tina started adding the backing vocals.

I could have this moment

4 life

I could have this moment

4 life

I could have this moment
This is my moment, I just feel so alive

I could have this moment

Alive

I could have this moment

Alive

I could have this moment

Artie rolled up next to her and started the next part.

Yeah, ugh
What I tell em hoes bow bow bow to me, drop down to ya knees
Young Money the Mafia that's word to Lil Cease
I'm in The Dominican Big Papi Ortiz
Doin' target practice all these chickies just aiming to please
Shoutout to the CEO 500 degrees
Shoutout to the OVO, Red Wings and fatigues, oooow
Trippas wanna be friends how coincidental
This supposed to be y'all year we ain't get the memo
A young King, pay me in gold
Forty got a bunch of weed he ain't even rolled
These trippas be droppin songs they ain't even cold
Weezy on top and that trippa aint even home, yet!
Yeah, be very afraid these other rappers getting bodied and carried away
Forget it me and Nicki Nick gettin' married today
And now you chickies that be hatin can catch a bouquet, ooooh
Yeah, you a star in my eyes, you and all them white girls party of five
Are we drinking a lil more I can hardly decide
I can't believe we really made it I'm partly surprised, I swear
Dang, this one for the books, man!
I swear this sh.. is as fun as it looks, man!
I'm really tryna make it more than what it is, cause everybody dies but not everybody lives, Ahhh

Artie rolled back to his spot next to Mike.

I wish that I could have this moment 4 life, 4 life, 4 life
Cause In this moment, i just feel so alive, alive, alive
I wish that I could have this moment 4 life

I could have this moment

4 life

I could have this moment

4 life

I could have this moment
This is my moment, I just feel so alive
I could have this moment

Alive

I could have this moment

Alive

I could have this moment

This is my moment
I waited all my
Life, I can tell it's time
Drifting away I'm
One with the sunset
I have become alive
I wish that I could have this moment 4 life, 4 life, 4 life
Cause In this moment, i just feel so alive, alive, alive
I wish that I could have this moment 4 life

I could have this moment

4 life

I could have this moment

4 life

I could have this moment
This is my moment, I just feel so alive

I could have this moment

Alive.

I could have this moment

Alive.

I could have this moment
Alive .

The song ended and everybody erupted into cheers.

"So, what's your name, anyways?" Lauren asked the new girl after everyone calmed down.

"Alexis. You can call me Lex, Alex, or Lexi, anything, really. I don't really care. My dad just transferred here. When I found out there was a Glee Club here, I totally flipped out. I was in my old school's club, too. Course, we weren't very popular." She frowned.

"Yeah, we aren't popular here, either. I hate to say this, but are you sure you want to join? I mean, we could really use you, but we get bullied pretty bad." Tina asked.

"Totally. Don't even worry about it. I love performing way too much to give it up. What are all your names?"

"I'm Rachel Berry. I'm kind of the star of Glee Club."

Lexi raised her eyebrow at the enthusiastic short girl.

"Tina. This is my boyfriend Mike."

Mike gave a little wave.

Finn introduced himself with a shrug.

The rest of the club greeted Alex with a handshake.

"Kurt Hummel."

"This might seem kind of forward, but are you gay?"

Everyone became dead silent.

"Yes. Yes, I am. Do you have a problem with that?" Kurt said as he crossed his arms defensively.

"Yeah, do you?" Lauren added, standing closer to Kurt.

"I will not permit a homophobe to join Glee, Mr. Schue!" Rachel said angrily.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Alexis raised her hands in the universal sign of surrender.

"I'm totally good with it. I knew, like, 15 gays and lesbians at my old school. I'm totally pro-gay."

"Whoa. Where did you live?" Quinn chimed in.

"San Francisco." Lex said with a dismissive smile.

"Hey, you never said who you were." She directed towards Artie.

He shook his head, getting out of his daze, and rolled up to her and outstretched his hand.

"I'm Artie Abrams. I've never met a girl who could rap like that before. That was a great job with that song."

Alex looked at his hand and said, "Nonsense, you get a hug!"

She proceeded to hug Artie, who initially, was very startled, but then hugged her back.

"I totally forgot about that part of the song, and I was mentally freaking out until you chimed in. Thank you so much. You're awesome."

Alexis could have sworn that she saw him blush a little, but it must have been a trick of the eyes.

"Well, I think it's safe to say that we've got a new member of Glee Club!" Mr. Schuester said, gesturing to Alexis.

The rest of Glee Club erupted into cheers once again, and gave Lexi a big group hug.
