Part of Your World
This is my 3rd story! Woohoo! I feel bad because I never got around to finishing my first one about Rocky Horror (please forgive me!) But I did complete my other Glee fanfic With You I Can Defy Gravity. I was actually inspired to write this fic after I watched xseducedlikemagic's Glee/Little Mermaid trailer on youtube.
Now just to warn you, this will NOT follow the movie plot to a T. I wanted to keep the characters and setting as close to the show as possible while still incorporating elements from The Little Mermaid. You should be able to pick out the adjustments that I made while still being able to follow along with the movie's basic outline. The characters are not really set in specific roles (except for Kurt and Blaine and Ariel and Eric). So don't be alarmed if they do some flip-flopping.
All warnings aside let's get on to a disclaimer. No. I do not own Glee or anything Disney. This is just what happens when my mind is allowed to wander.
" " mean speech
' ' mean thoughts
Italic paragraphs mean song (if the person is singing the song it will be stated. Otherwise the song is for the purpose of the reader)
Italic words used for emphasis
ALSO! Important thing to know: You will have to disregard a lot of things for this story to work. 1) Burt has not yet married Carol 2) No one from McKinley has met any of the Warblers. You can kind of figure this out as you read but just be aware that some things did not happen.
Chapter 1
xXx
"Alright everyone! Listen up!" Will Shuester made a final comment in his notebook before addressing the kids.
"We're ready to run through the next song, and don't forget, if all goes well, we'll have a number for Nationals!"
The Glee Club responded with cheers and applause as they made their way to the side wings.
"Okay, and….start music!"
The intro to My Heart Will Go On began as Rachel slowly walked on stage. Will chuckled softly to himself. Rachel was always so loud and dramatic during Glee Club, but when she was ready to give a performance, she would put on her game face and held nothing back. Reaching the microphone, Rachel took a breath and began to sing
Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you go on
Will cued the AV Club and a background of beautiful stars appeared slowly behind Rachel, several well-placed lights gave her a dreamy romantic look.
Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold to
In my life we'll always go on
'Okay. We're getting close to the big surprise.' Will thought as Rachel continued to sing.
After the instrumental section, the rest of the Glee Club would join in with a killer harmony to build up to the songs climax. That's when they would bring out the Ace: Kurt. Once the rest of the kids were in position the backdrop would rise, revealing the young countertenor, who would belt out the final few lines.
'If all goes well,' Will thought as the rest of the group began to join Rachel on stage, 'The judges are gonna be blown away by Kurt's impressive range, and we'll be that much closer to winning.'
The moment was upon them. Will signaled for the curtain to rise, the voices of the Glee Club swelling into a mountain of sound. They turned towards their group member ready for his big solo…
…but there was no one there.
The kids slowly stopped singing as the music continued to play in the background.
"Stop! Stop the music!" Will called out through his microphone. The auditorium was plunged into silence save for the confused whispering of the Glee Club.
"Where is Kurt?" Will asked as he walked down from his director's table toward the kids.
"I haven't seen him since school let out." Mercedes admitted, "But he told me he would be here."
"Yeah Mr. Shue, I haven't seen him either." Finn said with a shrug, "Though I kinda thought he was waiting till the last minute to add a dramatic effect or something."
"This never would have happened if someone didn't go and divide up my solo." Rachel stated loudly to no one in particular.
"Maybe he had to pee and fell in the toilet." Said Brittany thoughtfully, "No wait…that was me."
"Enough!" Will yelled over the flurry of voices, "Someone find out where he is and tell him to meet me tomorrow before rehearsal. Everyone else? Go home I guess. Today was set aside for this number and we're not ready to try out any others right now. I'll see you tomorrow."
