[The year is 2017. William McKinley High School is beginning their first year as a performing arts school. As the camera pans down the red and beige halls, the sound of tubas and trumpets fill the air. The step team is practicing their routine in the hallway. Students are carrying their books to class. The September sun is brightly shining through the window. The loudspeaker crackles on loudly.]

Will Schuester: [over the loud speaker] Good morning students of McKinley School of the Performing Arts! This is Principal Schuester welcoming you to your first day of school. If anyone has not auditioned yet for their placement, please speak with my secretary, Miss Becky Jackson, and she can schedule your audition. As a wise man once said, "Don't Dream It, Be It". Enjoy your first day of class!

[The camera pans into the choir room, where Sam Evans is highlighting sheet music while leaning on the black piano. Sam drinks his cup of coffee nervously while preparing his first class. His light blue polo is tucked into his tight navy jeans. There was a knock at the door. When Sam looked up, he smiled widely seeing Will happily walk into the choir room.]

Will: [joyfully] You ready to teach your first day of class, Mister Evans?

[They hugged]

Sam: [nervously] I don't know Mister Shue. I've been up all night thinking about everything that can go wrong. Hell, I even tried that whole technique of thinking of me in my underwear, but that only made things worse.

Will: [laughing and placing his hand on Sam's shoulder] I don't think that's how it exactly works, Sam. Look, I was nervous when I first started Glee Club, but look at how you turned out. Look at how all of you turned out. You all became legends in your own way. I couldn't have been prouder of how your lives turned out. Now, you get to change someone's life the way you changed mine.

Sam: [calmly] Thanks, Mister Schue. I needed to hear that.

[Students started walking into the choir room. We see familiar faces, Jake Puckerman, Sugar Mata, Unique Adams, Joe Hart, Ryder Lynn, Kitty Wilde, Madison McCarthy, Mason McCarthy, Roderick Meeks, Jane Hayward, Spencer Porter, Alistair, Marley Rose, and Myron Muskovitz take their seats in the choir room. Sam takes a deep breath in, looking to Will for support.]

Will: [walking out the door] Before I forget, you have an audition in an hour. Her name is Annie. Said she wanted to audition for the New Directions specifically. I'll meet you guys at the auditorium so we can deliberate together.

[Will shuts the door behind him.]

Sam: [clasping his hands together] Welcome back, guys! How was everyone's summer?

Unique: [filing their nails] Fabulously like me!

Marley: [angrily] Got dumped by my boyfriend only minutes after his brother's funeral.

Jake: I just need space, Marley. I would have thought you would understand more than anyone.

Madison and Mason: Greece.

Sam: Well, I'm happy everyone's summer was, um, eventful, so to speak. But now, we have to prepare for Sectionals. You guys did incredibly last year, but if we're gonna beat the competition, we have to up our game. We need to annihilate the competition. You guys can kick some ass as individuals, but we need to group together and bring down the house a bit. So today's lesson is going to be about you guys. We need to reinvent who New Directions is.

Kitty: I'm sorry, Sam, but I'm getting distracted by the mere idea of how many tennis balls can fit into that trouty mouth.

Myron: Mister Evans, I think what we need to do is allow us, who are quite use to being in the shadows, to be center stage for a change.

Sam: [grabs the sheet music from the piano] Everyone's gonna get their chance to be in the spotlight, guys. That's why today, I think it's important that we let the world see what we can do. [hands out sheet music to the students] That's why I think this song will be good to kick start our year in Glee Club. [points to the band] Hit it!

[The students sing the background of Hooked on a Feeling by Blue Suede]

Students: Ooga chaka ooga ooga ooga chaka ooga chaka

Sam: [dancing] I can't stop this feeling.
Deep inside of me.
Girl you just don't realize
Whatcha do to me.
When you hold me
In your arms so tight, you let me know
Everything's alright.

All: I'm
Hooked on a feeling!

[The band starts playing. The students jump from their seats and start dancing]

Sam: I'm high on believin'
That you're in love with me!
Lips as sweet as candy.
It's taste is on my mind.
Girl, you got me thirsty
For another cup of wine.
Got a bug from you, girl.
But I don't need no cure.
I'll just stay affecting if I can for sure.
All the good love
When we're all alone
Keep it up, girl.
Yeah, you turn me on.

All: I'm
Hooked on a feeling!

Sam: I'm hooked on a feeling!
I'm high on believin'
That you're in love with me!

[The band closes the song. Everyone claps and laughs together.]

Sam: [laughs] That's the same energy that we need to bring to Sectionals!

[Cut scene. The camera is focused on Kitty looking into the mirror putting on her pink lipstick. Suddenly, Kitty stands still and peers behind the locker door. Standing behind are Madison and Mason waiting audaciously. Kitty rolls her eyes and closes her lipstick bottle.]

Kitty: [sarcastically] Can I help you? You're really disturbing my morning routine.

Madison: We came here to discuss the possibility of an alliance with you.

Kitty: [grabbing her purse from her locker] Doubt that'll ever happen.

[Kitty shuts her locker and walks away. Madison and Mason quickly catch up with her and stand by her side.]

Mason: We all know that we are the best singers in Glee Club. And obviously, you come at a very close second.

Kitty: And that definitely persuaded me to work with you guys.

Mason: We have to snag that solo for Sectionals or we might as well tattoo the word failure onto our foreheads.

Madison: [standing in front of Kitty] Come on, Kitty. You know that with this alliance, we can be the rulers of Glee Club. We'll take every solo and demolish anyone standing our way. You know you need us as much as we need you. We can be the power team.

[Kitty looks around for a moment]

Kitty: [sighs] Give me until the end of the day.

[Kitty shoves through Mason and Madison. They watch Kitty walk down the hall. They look at each other and smile.]

Mason: You think she's gonna do it?

Madison: You never know with her. But from what I saw, I think we have a very good possibility.

[Mason and Madison gleefully walk down the hall. Cut scene. The Glee Club is in the Finn Hudson Auditorium. Sam, Will, and Becky sit in front of the students.]

Jane: Why isn't Jake here?

Marley: He has to take an exam for his theory class that he needed to make up from last year.

Myron: You guys broke up. You really shouldn't be keeping tabs on him like some sort of stalker.

Kitty: Shrimp boy's right. That really is kinda freaky.

Becky: Hey, I'm the H-B-I-C in this school, so pipe it, blondie.

Will: [interrupting] Cut it out, you guys. I'm pretty sure Sam told you guys about the importance of being a team. [standing facing the students] Now I know you guys are pretty comfortable with being by yourselves, but we're gonna give this girl a chance. She might be really good to have in this school. [turns and sits in his seat] Why don't you come out, Miss Annie?

[Coming onto the stage is a short girl. Her porcelain skin shined under the spotlight. Her hair is dark brown in braided pigtails and she is wearing black leggings, boots, and a white and black flannel shirt. She stands in front of the microphone.]

Sam: [holding a resume] Hi, you must be Annie?

Annie: Yes. I'm here to audition for the New Directions and become a student in this school.

Sam: It says your only experience is singing in the shower?

Annie: And on long car rides, sir.

[The students snicker. Will shushes them.]

Will: The best performers start at the bottom and rise to the top. They don't have to always start on the stage. So what will you be performing for us?

Annie: I'm gonna be singing Can't Fight the Moonlight by Leann Rimes.

Sam: That's an interesting song choice. Any reason for that?

Annie: [nervously] Um, my cousin and I use to sing that together all the time before they passed away. Coyote Ugly was kinda our go-to movie.

Will: Well, whenever you're ready, show us what you got.

[The song begins. Annie sways with the music]

Annie: Under a lover's sky
Gonna be with you.
And no one's gonna be around.
If you think that you won't fall.
Well just wait until
Till the sun goes down.

Underneath the starlight, starlight,
There's a magical feeling so right.
It'll steal your heart tonight.

You can try to resist.
Try to hide from my kiss
But you know, but you know you can't
Can't fight the moonlight.
Deep in the dark
You'll surrender your heart.
But you know, but you know you can't
Can't fight the moonlight
No, you can't fight it.
It's gonna get to your heart.

There's no escaping love.
Once a gentle breeze
Weaves it spell upon your heart.
No matter what you think.
It won't be too long
Till you're in my arms.

Underneath the starlight, starlight,
We'll be lost in the rhythm so right.
Feel it steal your heart tonight.

You can try to resist.
Try to hide from my kiss
But you know, but you know you can't
Can't fight the moonlight.
Deep in the dark
You'll surrender your heart.
But you know, but you know you can't
Can't fight the moonlight
No, you can't fight it.
It's gonna get to your heart.

Don't try then.
You're never gonna win.

Underneath the starlight, starlight
There's a magical feeling so right.
It'll steal your heart tonight.

You can try [Annie belts. The students join]to resist.
Try to hide from my kiss
But you know, but you know you can't
Can't fight the moonlight.
Deep in the dark
You'll surrender your heart.
But you know, but you know you can't
Can't fight the moonlight
No, you can't fight it.
It's gonna get to your heart.

[The students, with the exception of Kitty, Madison, and Mason, cheer. Sam, Becky, and Will stand happily cheering.]

Will: [boasting] Wow, Annie! That was incredible! It would be such an honor to have talent in this school!

Sam: Welcome to the New Directions!

Annie: [excitedly] Thank you so much! This is wonderful!

Will: I just have to have a last name to put on the roster.

Annie: I'd rather just go by Annie. It's pretty simple.

Will: [confused] Well, then that's what we'll do. [to the students] Everyone, welcome Annie to the New Directions!

[As the students cheer, Kitty turns to Madison and Mason sternly.]

Kitty: So, what song are we starting with together?

[Madison smiles mischievously.]

Madison: Oh, I think we got the perfect song choice for us.

[Cut scene. The camera cuts to the cafeteria. Roderick is seen listening to music with his headphones eating at the lunch table alone. Jane and Ryder walk to the table and sit across from Roderick. Roderick looks up and takes his headphones off of his ears.]

Roderick: What's up guys?

Jane: What did you think of the audition? She's really good. I think she can be our ticket to Nationals.

Roderick: She was pretty good.

Jane: Good? We need to have more great people in Glee Club if we're gonna head to Nationals.

Roderick: You know we have to go through Sectionals and Regionals to even be able to qualify for Nationals, right?

Jane: You gotta dream big if you wanna accomplish big things.

[Ryder watches Marley talk to the other Glee students across the cafeteria.]

Ryder: Marley's back on the market now. You think I should try again?

Jane: Didn't she dump you for Jake, just to get dumped by Jake?

Roderick: Dude, you gotta give up on her. It's starting to look kinda pathetic.

Ryder: Everyone makes mistakes. Maybe, she realizes that Jake was her mistake.

Jane: Why don't you just try to find someone else? Maybe the new girl is single.

Ryder: But there's something about Marley that I can't resist anymore.

Roderick: Don't you realize yet that what Ryder likes is someone who shows her heart on her sleeve? He's not into someone as mysterious as the new girl. She has this whole good-girl façade, but underneath that is someone wild.

Jane: [chuckles] Is someone already crushing on the new kid?

Roderick: I'm just saying that Ryder is a pretty face value type of guy. And Marley is a face value type of chick. The new girl isn't his type.

Ryder: Speaking of the new girl, when is she gonna start?

Jane: I think before the end of the day.

Ryder: You should talk to her, Rod. Maybe she'll be into you.

Roderick: I'll just let her adjust before she has some guy coming on to her the second that she walks in.

[The camera pans over to Marley, who is sitting with Unique, Spencer, Alstair, and Sugar. Marley is staring longingly at Jake talking to the step team.]

Unique: Oh my god, girl, you seriously need to stop watching him like he's some piece of meat.

Marley: I just don't understand why we had to break up. I thought we were meant to be together.

Unique: As a friend, it's my job to tell you that not everyone stays together through high school. He's a junior. He doesn't wanna be tied down to some girl like you.

Spencer: It's gonna take him a while to come around. You know what they say. If it's meant to be, they'll come back to you. If it's not, then let him go and find his own happiness.

Sugar: You're only saying that because you found someone who's as clueless as you are.

Spencer: I don't see you with anyone here.

Sugar: I'm just keeping my options open.

Alstair: It seems like the options are trying to keep closed to you.

Spencer: [grabs Marley's hands] Marley, you have to let him go. He just lost his brother. The last thing that he's gonna need is someone else to worry about.

Marley: But I can be there for him if he lets me.

Spencer: But that's not for you to decide. He needs time to accept what happened. You know how close he was to his brother. He needs a moment to process. Then, if he wants to get back together, he'll come back. But you can't latch onto him like a leech. That'll only push him further away from you.

Unique: Listen to Spencer, baby. You can't force yourself on him. Just let Jake be Jake and you be you. Don't lose yourself to a guy who doesn't want to give you the time of day.

[Marley sighed. She nods and begins to eat her lunch. Spencer and Unique look at each other concerned. Cut scene. We go to the teacher's lounge. Sam and Will are drinking coffee sitting by the window.]

Will: You're doing really great with these kids so far.

Sam: Thanks, Mister Schue. I guess I'm trying to bring to them what you brought to us. How's Misses Schue?

Will: She's doing great. She's been staying home with the kids. She enjoys being a stay-at-home mother. Have you heard from Quinn since Puck's funeral?

Sam: She's been hanging out with Shelly more. Thinks that the kids can have playdates together. Quinn takes that time to teach their girls about their father.

Will: I just can't believe it. First, we lose Finn and then we lose Puck. Thank god I have you guys left. I don't know what I would do if I lost the rest of you.

[Becky walks into the teacher's lounge with a file.]

Becky: Sorry, Principal Shue. I couldn't find anything on the student.

Sam: What's she talking about, Mister Schue?

Will: [reading the file] I was trying to find something about the new girl. I can't find anything about her. Where she lives, what her last name is, or even where she went to school before. It's like she's a ghost or something. Becky, you sure you went through everything?

Becky: Yes, Principal Schue. I even called in a favor to try to help us.

Will: Who did you call?

[Sue Sylvester walks into the lounge, who's wearing her infamous red tracksuit.]

Sue: She called the best in the business of snooping, Will.

[Sam moves his seat a few inches away from Sue.]

Will: Sue, what are you doing here? I thought you were in DC.

Sue: [taking a seat] I'm taking a little sabbatical, unlike you with the grease just destroying those tresses every day. Congress isn't ready for me just yet. I figured I would come back and check in on how this school was doing after Figgins retired. Once Becky called and asked for a favor, I figured I would try to work my magic. So fill me in on the 4-1-1. What's been going on at this dump?

Will: This is actually a performing arts school now, and I'm the new principal.

Sam: And I'm actually the teacher for the New Directions.

Sue: Oh, Will. I should have known that if anyone was going to take this school and recreate it to look like an even bigger pile of trash, it would be you.

Will: [rolls his eyes] It's always such a pleasure to see you, Sue. How long are you gonna be before you try to destroy this place.

Sue: I actually wanted to coach the Cheerios again, but since that obviously went down the drain, maybe I can coach some sort of new team of weirdos and outcasts. You have nothing to worry about though. Through all of the snarls and comments I make about you, I'm actually proud of what you made here. You really brought this school up from the ashes that it was.

Sam: [scared] Mister Schue, I don't think this is a good idea to have her. Don't you remember what she did to us years ago? She tried to get rid of us.

Sue: Kill your spirits is more like it.

Will: Look, Sue, I would love to hire you back here, but how do I know that you're not gonna try to pull your average stunts again?

Sue: I know that I caused a lot of shenanigans, but I really think that these kids need someone tough on them for a change. Besides, if I wanted to take you down, I would start by power washing the glue out of your hair.

Sam: Please don't tell me you're actually considering this. She's said this before and look at everything that's happened.

Will: [sighs] Fine, Sue. The step team really need a coach to help them. But one wrong move and I promise that you'll be blacklisted from every district in all of Ohio.

Sue: [slaps the table top] Thank you, Schuester. I promise that you'll have an award winning step team that you'll be proud of. Becky, you come with me.

Will: No, Sue. Becky is my secretary. She's not gonna be your assistant anymore.

Becky: [pleading] I can do both, Principal Schue. Please. I really miss bossing kids around.

Will: Fine, Becky, but all of your responsibilities have to be done first before helping Sue. Make sure all the calls are answered and any audition is scheduled.

Becky: Will do, Principal Shue.

[Becky and Sue walk out of the lounge.]

Sam: Do you realize what you just did?

Will: Relax, Sam. I don't think that Sue's as much of a threat as she was a few years ago.

[The camera pans to Sue and Becky walking down the hall.]

Becky: You're not trying to take down Principal Shue, are you? I actually really like working with him, Coach. I get paid a lot and I even have health insurance.

Sue: [laughing] No, Becky. I'm actually proud of what he did with the school. I'm actually back to protect this school.

Becky: From what, Coach?

Sue: Word on the street is that there's someone who wants to destroy the dynasty that Shue created. I'm only merely here to help stop it before it begins.

Becky: Who is it, Coach?

Sue: [puts her arm around Becky] In due time, Becky. You'll know in due time.

[The camera cuts into the choir room. Kitty, Madison, and Mason. All the students are in the choir room. Sam is sitting off to the side. Ryder is buried into his phone.]

Kitty: Since today's lesson is about bringing us back together, the twins and I thought that we could bring some flavor into Glee Club.

Sam: [puzzled] I'm sorry to interrupt you guys, but you sure no one's heard from Annie? She was supposed to be in class after the auditions.

Unique: Maybe she panicked.

Sugar: Maybe she died.

Myron: Maybe the mafia took her.

Jake: Can someone fill me in on what's going on?

Roderick: We got some new girl and she decided not to show up.

Marley: It's probably better that she isn't here.

Mason: Who cares where she is? Can we please sing our song now, Mister Evans?

Sam: [focusing] I'm sorry, guys. It's just been a crazy day. Continue with your song.

Madison: [clearing her throat] As Kitty was saying, we feel like it's important for us to show you guys how to properly bring it back to our roots.

Mason: Music, please.

[Confident by Demi Lovato starts to play. Mason, Madison, and Kitty dance with the music.]

Kitty: It's time for me to take it
I'm the boss right now
Not gonna fake it
Not when you go down
Cause this is my game
And you better come to play

Madison: I use to hold my freak back
Now I'm letting go
I make my own choice
Bitch, I run this show
So leave the lights on
No, you can't make me behave

Kitty and Madison: So you say I'm complicated
That I must be outta my mind
But you had me underrated,
Rated, rated

Kitty, Mason, and Madison: Ah, ah, ah
What's wrong with being
What's wrong with being
What's wrong with being confident
Ah, ah, ah
What's wrong with being
What's wrong with being
What's wrong with being confident

Mason: It's time to get the chains out
Is your tongue tied up?
Cause this is my ground
And I'm dangerous
And you can get out
But it's all about me tonight.

Kitty: So you say I'm complicated
That I must be outta my mind
But you had me underrated,
Rated, rated

Kitty, Mason, and Madison: Ah, ah, ah
What's wrong with being
What's wrong with being
What's wrong with being confident
Ah, ah, ah
What's wrong with being
What's wrong with being
What's wrong with being confident

[The song ends. Everyone claps. Sam stands up next to them]

Sam: Good job guys. That's the kind of energy we need to bring to Sectionals! Tomorrow, we'll start preparing our set list for Sectionals. Class dismissed.

[The students grab their things and leave the choir room. Ryder approaches Sam.]

Ryder: Hey, Mister Evans, you're trying to find the new girl, right?

Sam: Mister Schue and I were, yeah. Why?

Ryder: [handing his phone to Sam] I was looking on Facebook and I think I found her.

[Sam looks at Ryder's phone and is in disbelief.]

Sam: [staring at Ryder's phone] How did you find her?

Ryder: I just looked up her name and Lima. She's the only one in this town that's not old or a kid.

Sam: [hands the phone back to Ryder] Thanks, Ryder. I'm gonna let Mister Schue know so we can get her back.

[The camera pans into a bar. It's slightly foggy from the smoke. Music is blaring from the jukebox. The bar patrons are laughing and stumbling about. Will and Sam enter the bar dodging the drunk customers.]

Will: You sure she's gonna be in here? I think she's a little too young to be in a bar.

Sam: Supposedly, her Facebook said she's here almost every night since she moved back from Hawaii.

[Sam looks towards the bartender and sees Annie sitting at the bar drinking a beer. He motions to Will and they both sit on either side of her.]

Will: You think you may be a bit young to be here?

Annie: [sips her beer] My ID says I'm twenty one.

Sam: Must be pretty realistic then.

Bartender: These guys botherin' you?

Annie: Nah. They're fine. Get'em both a beer. Put it on my tab.

[The bartender grabs two beers and places them in front of Will and Sam.]

Sam: [sips his beer] So, what's the real reason you didn't come back to Glee Club?

Annie: I realized how stupid it was and I wasn't gonna be a part of something that I thought was stupid.

Sam: There's no need to lie to us, Annie. We dug up some things on you.

Annie: Like what? Like how my dad is in the military and he got stationed here? Anyone would know that. That's public record.

Will: Years ago, I met someone who had one of the most incredible voices I've ever heard. So, I had to do whatever it took to get him into Glee Club when I was running it. I told him I found drugs in his locker and blackmailed him that he would have to join the Glee Club. And you know what? It was the best thing I ever did. He helped shape me into the man I am today.

Annie: And what's this have to do with me?

Will: Because you and I both know that's the reason why you ran away. Is that the reason why you thought about joining in the first place?

[Annie pauses for a few moments]

Annie: He always talked about how much he loved being a part of Glee Club. I thought that if I joined, I would somehow have a piece of him left.

Sam: You guys were close, weren't you?

Annie: Close? He was more than just my cousin. He was my best friend. Him and I didn't have many people growing up, so we just had each other. When I heard what happened to him, I felt like my heart broke into a million pieces. I just wanted something that could mend that broken part of me.

Sam: He was my best friend, too. Trust me. I know that you're hurting. And it's okay. If you come back, we'll make sure that you'll always have that piece of him. We can tell you stories about him that would make you smile.

Annie: I don't know guys. It just seems like a decision that I need time to think about.

[Will gets up and goes to the jukebox.]

Will: Miss Annabel Lee Hudson, I don't know if your cousin, Finn, ever told you, but we like to settle things in song.

Annie: [laughing] Finn told me all about it. He couldn't stop laughing when he would mention it.

Will: [pressing buttons on the jukebox] Well, Sam and I might have to talk you into coming back to us the only way we know how.

[The Other Side from The Greatest Showman begins to play]

Will: [sits next to Annie] Right here, right now
I put the offer out
I don't want to chase you down
I know you see it

Sam: You run with me
And I can cut you free
Out of the drudgery and walls you keep in.

Will: So trade that typical
For something colorful
And if it's crazy,
Live a little crazy

Sam: You can play it sensible
A queen of conventional
Or you can risk it all and see

Sam and Will: Don't you wanna get away
From the same old part you gotta play
Cause we got what you need, so come with us and take a ride
It'll take you to the other side.

Will: So you can do like you do

Sam: Or you can do like me

Sam and Will: Stay in the cage, or you'll finally take the key
Oh, damn! Suddenly you're free to fly
It'll take you to the other side.

Annie: Ok, my friends, you wanna cut me in?
Well, I hate to tell you, but it just won't happen.
So thanks, but no
I think I'm good to go
Cause I quite enjoy the life you say I'm trapped in

Now I admire you, and that whole thing you do
You're onto something
Really, it's something
But I live among the swells
We don't pick up peanut shells
I'll have to leave that up to you

Don't you know that I'm okay
With this uptown part I get to play
Cause I got what I need and I don't wanna take a ride
I don't need to see the other side.

So go and do like you do
I'm good to do like me
Ain't in a cage, so I don't need to take the key
Oh, damn! Can't you see I'm doing fine
I don't need to see the other side.

Will: Now is this really how you like to spend your days?
Whiskey and misery, and parties and plays?

Annie: If I were mixed up with you, I'd be the talk of the town
Disgraced and disowned
Another one of the clowns

Sam: But you would finally live a little
Finally laugh a little
Just let me give you the freedom to dream
And it'll wake you up and cure your aching
Take your walls and start 'em breaking

Sam and Will: Now that's a deal that seems worth taking

Will: But I guess we'll leave that up to you.

[Annie pauses for a moment. The music cuts momentarily]

Annie: [talking] I want at least one solo.

Sam: Done.

Annie: You guys still do competitions?

Will: Sectionals are coming up in a few weeks.

Annie: I'm not wearing some stupid costume.

Sam: I can promise you they're not as stupid as you think.

Annie: And I want you guys to tell me more about my cousin.

[Annie holds her hand out. Will grabs her hand and smiles]

Will: Well, Miss Hudson, you got yourself a deal.

[As they shake hands, the camera pans to the next day. Sam, Will, and Annie are dancing in the halls while walking to the choir room. The music continues]

Sam, Annie, and Will: [singing] Don't you wanna get away
To a whole new part we're gonna play
Cause we got what we need, so come with us and take a ride
It'll take us to the other side.

Sam and Will: So if you do like we do

Annie: So if you do like me

Sam, Annie, and Will: Forget the cage
Cause we know how to make the key
Oh, damn! Suddenly we're free to fly
We're going to the other side

Sam: So if you do like I do

Will: To the other side

Annie: So if you do like me

Will: To the other side

[They enter the choir room]

Sam, Annie, and Will: Cause if we do we're going to the other side
We're going to the other side.

[Annie stands stunned and shocked. The students are conversing in the choir room.]

Sam: Okay, everyone, Principal Schue and I want to introduce you to our newest member of-

Annie: [interrupting] Jake?

[Jake turns around and sees Annie.]

Jake: [shocked] Annie.

[The students watch Annie and Jake. Annie and Jake do not break eye contact. Will and Sam stand uncomfortably. ]

[End scene]
