A/N: this is a multi chaptered fic i thought of a few days ago. i've noticed that there are many characters who arn't mentioned in fanfictions for glee, so i said, why not make a fic that has a little bit of everyone? so i wrote a fanfic, that is mostly about April, Shelby and the glee kids, and later on i'll have some 'guest apperances' of some of our other favourites (Jesse st. James, Ken Tannakah, Brenda Castle, Bryan Ryan etc.). mostly Finn/Rachel, Will/Emma, Santana/brittany, Tina/Artie, Shelby/April friendship, and some more. Based on alot of season 2 spoilers. i think in a few more chapters i'll make what i think will be the britney spears episode. hope you like it! and please review, because reviews tell me what i can do better. im also confident this will be a pretty long story... so prepare!

A little bit wicked

April Rhodes walked through central park in kind of a haze. She was looking at all of the beautiful trees and plants, at all of the beautiful couples walking along the grass, at the little kids playing with their parents. She wished she had a family. She wished she had friends. She dreamed of getting married and inviting hundreds of people and having kids. But April was lonely. She was very rich, yes, but she just wasn't happy. She knew she wasn't happy because someone very wise once told her that happy is when all of your dreams come true. But none of them have. The nicest person she's ever met was Will Schuester, but he was in Ohio and she was in New York. In the Broadway. If only getting in to musicals were as easy as she thought, but she has been through several auditions, and she hasn't landed a role yet. She's decided to work as a waitress just to pass the time, but it's not like she needs the money. She's rich off of Buddy's money and has a beautiful apartment in the center of Manhattan, just in front of Madison square garden. So she waits tables, comes home, makes herself dinner, sings a sad song about being lonely and goes to bed. On days where she doesn't work she goes to see musicals, and sometimes she even goes to karaoke bars to sing. But she doesn't drink in those bars, not anymore. She's sober now, thanks to Will, and she's not going to mess it all up with drinking because she's miserable. So instead, she sings. People always praise her when she's done, but that's not enough for her. She wants to be famous. So she's going to keep singing, keep auditioning, and maybe one day, she'll find the part that really suits her. And maybe than she'll be able to start making some of her other wishes come true.

In Lima Ohio, a certain Rachel Berry is living the life she's always dreamed of. She's got lots of friends, two loving fathers, and an amazing boyfriend. Well, it's not exactly the life she's dreamed of, because she's not a star (yet) but for now, she's sure this is enough. In fact, it's more than enough. She's happy. Last year New Directions lost regionals, and of course that brought them down, but they are stronger now and with lots of training a practicing, Rachel is certain she can help make them the best.

She has come to terms with the fact her mother doesn't want anything to do with her, it's understandable and though hurtful and disappointing, it's the way it is and Rachel needs to accept it. But it's good for her not to wonder about it anymore and move on.

Everything that happened last year, Jesse St. James, Shelby Corcoran, all of that is behind her now. Rachel Berry is starting a new year and she's going to enjoy it.

She wakes up on the first day of school at 6:00 sharp, feeling better than ever. She drinks her protein shake and hops on the elliptical to start her morning workout.

She looks at the sign that is in front of her and smiles. That is what's going to motivate her today.

Finn Hudson

After all of this time, Finn was finally hers. No more pregnant girlfriends, no more 'inner rock stars'. Now they are officially a couple, and nothing is going to get away in their happiness. After about 30 minutes she finishes her work out and jumps in the shower. She comes out in her towel and goes to her closet, and picks out her pink and black striped shirt, a black skirt and matching knee high sock. She changes into her clothes and goes downstairs. She walks in the kitchen and finds a note that says her fathers are out and they hope she has a nice first day of school. She grabs and apple and checks the time on the wall; 7:25, she picks up her bag and walks out the door and into her car and drives to McKinley High school, for what she thinks will be a great day, and as it turns out, it'll be quite an interesting one.

Quinn Fabrey was exhausted. She had her baby two months ago and she is now a loser at McKinley high school. How is it that just a year ago she was head cheerleader, captain of the celibacy club, and girlfriend of the most popular guy in school and now she was this lame, unpopular nerd who people slushy everyday?

Well not for long. Quinn is determined to have it all back. Now the baby is out of the way, and Quinn is going to get her reputation back. Be head cheerleader, date hot jocks, and now that her mother was back into her life again, she was going to make her proud. She was going to be the perfect daughter, and that meant no more sex. That one time would be the first and the last until she is married. She cant rejoin the celibacy club because, well… she cant.

But she could still be her old self again. Because when she was her old self, she was perfect. Everyone loved her, she had great grades and she was the hot cheerleader all of the girls wanted to be.

But of course, Quinn knew she couldn't quit glee club. They helped her through her pregnancy and didn't judge her, and she was grateful. Maybe in the beginning of her way back to the top she would have to torture some of them, but once she's queen bee again and everyone will have to do as she says, she will make sure that glee status will go a little bit up. But just a little bit, because she can't make things too different.

Yes, when Quinn Fabrey woke up this morning, she was exhausted. But she knew that was all going to change. So when she entered the halls of McKinley high school, before anything she went to a place she never thought she would ever step foot in again.

Sue Sylvester's office.

For the first time in many years, Shelby Corcoran was happy. She was finally where she wanted to be, in New York City, with her daughter. This daughter was adopted, but Shelby didn't care. She was going to love this baby, and take care of it. She really messed up last year with Rachel, she knew that. But now she was starting new, and everything was going to be better. She left Ohio to start a new life and make her dreams come true, Starting with Beth, her daughter.

So when Shelby arrived in New York, she took a taxi to her brand new apartment, and a truck immediately arrived to bring her the new furniture she ordered. Nothing much, just a crib, a dining table, a bed, some things for her bedroom, some things for her kitchen and everything else she might need. After one day of relaxing, the next day Shelby went out to visit her good friend Michael Nowell. Michael was a good friend of hers when she was living in Ohio, and he moved to Manhattan a couple of years ago. Said he wanted to work in Broadway, and create musicals. Shelby thought this was amusing, but was about to find out he was quite serious. He was waiting for her in a small café, in one of the tables out side. When she got closer he noticed her and got up to greet her.

"Well if it isn't miss Shelby Corcoran, my dear old friend! It's been a while" he said, and gave her a big hug.

"Yes Michael, it has been a while" She said through the hug. She pulled away to take in his features. He still looked exactly the same, black spiky hair, tall slim body.

"Mike, you haven't changed a bit" she said taking the seat next to him.

"Shelby you look simply fantastic! And is this the little beauty you were talking about?" He said, pointing to Beth.

"Michael, meet Beth" Michael looked at Beth and smiled.

"She's beautiful" he exclaimed. "So besides that, how have you been Shelby?"

"I've been pretty good, I just decided that enough was enough, I couldn't handle coaching anymore, I needed a little break to do the things I want to do, and to take care of Beth. So here I am"

A waitress came over and asked what they wanted, and after they ordered their coffees Michael nodded and said: "So, Shelby, are you by any chance interested in working in Theatre?"

Shelby looked at him for a moment, thinking about her answer. "Well, I suppose I might, but I think I'll do something else until I find an opportunity that I know I can't miss" She said, just as the waitress arrived with their coffees.

"Well you're in luck, because I have an offer for you Shelby"

Shelby raised an eyebrow, so Michael continued.

"Have you ever read this book?" he asked, while reaching into his bag, and handed her a book. Shelby read the title; "Wicked: the life and times of the wicked witch of the west" By someone named Gregory Maguire.

"No, I haven't. What's it about?" She asked, and Michael Grinned at her.

"Have you ever wondered about the witches in the wizard of Oz?" He started. "Well that's what this book is about. It's about their story. It's a beautiful story about centered on the 'wicked witch of the west', about who she was before Dorothy's arrival to Oz. How, maybe she wasn't evil like people thought she was, but just very misunderstood." Shelby listened intently, fascinated by what Michael was trying to explain to her. "I read this book, as well as the other books in this series, and decided that this was going to be my big project. I was going to turn this into a play! So I called Maguire and just a few months ago I got the rights for the book to make a play. And I started writing the characters, and the story, and I noticed that something was missing. And than, it hit me!" he brought his face a few inches closer to Shelby's.

"Music! I needed to make this a musical! So I wrote everything, got some people I know and asked if they wanted to join, and without a question they agreed. We've been working on everything for months and were almost done, but now its time for one of the most important detail: casting actors! And that my friend is where you come in." he finished. Shelby stared at him, not knowing what to say, but that was okay, because he spoke first. "Auditions are in a month, and I want you to try out for the lead role. I know you have what it takes Shelby, I was thinking of you the whole time I was writing it. You are perfect for this, and this is a wonderful opportunity." Shelby took a moment to gather her thoughts, all of this was happening so quickly, she just moved here, and she just adopted a child, and already she had the opportunity of a life time. She knew she was going to have to work very hard to take care of Beth, but she was getting older, and if she waited too long she may never get another chance like this to work on something so special, let alone with such a close friend.

She was so lost in her thought she nearly forgot Michael was still sitting there, eyebrows raised, waiting for her say something.

"I appreciate the offer, but I'm going to have to think about this Michael" She said. "This is pretty big, and I don't know if I will be able to handle it and take care of Beth at the same time. I just need some time". Michael gave her a smile and nodded. "I understand. I realize this is a lot to take in. But, I want you to really think this through, because I promise you I have a gut feeling that this will be worth it" He got up and reached out to give her a piece of paper. "Here's a flyer, it tells you all you need to know about the audition. I have to go to a meeting, but I really hope I see you there next month" he said and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"Thank you Michael, it was great seeing you again."

She grabbed her purse and they said their goodbyes. She took a taxi home and put Beth gently in her crib, than went to her bedroom and fell face first on to her bed. She had a lot to think about in the next month. Maybe she was getting ahead of her self, but she can't help but think that if she went to that audition, her whole life would change.

Will Schuester had millions of thought racing through his head when he stepped out his car and walked through the McKinley high parking lot. He thought about how he had just experienced probably one of the most boring summers ever, and about the different things he had planned out for glee club this year. He thought about the past year and how complicated it had been, and wondered if it would be better this year. But the thing that bothered him the most was Emma. He hasn't seen her all summer, and he missed her like crazy. He told her he loved her and kissed her a few days before school ended but she was still dating her dentist. But he was going to fight for her, he knew she still had feelings for him and he was going to do what ever it took to make her realize that they belong together. So Will walked through the doors to McKinley high school, and he noticed some strange things. Any other person wouldn't have noticed the difference, but Will was different, he knew that there was something strange going on the minute he saw three girls in cheerios outfits walking through the hallway. Why this was so strange, was because one of them was Santana Lopez, the other one was Britany (he didn't know her last name) and the last one was Quinn Fabray. The last thing he had expected to see was Quinn back in the cheerios squad, but he knew that it wasn't too strange. So he just kept walking forward. He was happy to see Finn and Rachel, his two leads walking hand in hand together in the hallway. They noticed him and waved at him, and he returned the gesture. He was glad to see everything was sorted out after the Jesse situation. The bell rang and he started walking to his first Spanish class for today, sat down on his desk and waited for everyone to come in. Throughout the entire day, Will kept seeing more and more things that confused him. For one thing, Tina and Artie have Spanish class together, but they sat as far away from each other as possible. Will tried to talk to Artie after class to ask if something was wrong, but didn't get very far. Puck tried to talk to Quinn after class, but she just ignored him which confused Will a tiny bit, but he decided to ignore it for now. Matt and Mike have been giving each other death glares all day, which is pretty weird since it seemed as though they were best friends, but Will wouldn't know because they don't talk much.

So yes, when Will was on his way to glee club that afternoon, he knew things were a bit weird, but what he didn't know, that this would be just the beginning, to a very interesting year.
