Glee In The UK
A/N: here is my first Glee story ever! I will admit now that I have only seen a few episodes of glee and I will admit that I only love Darren Criss on the show!
Please note that even though this story will be under Blaine's name, his story doesn't really start until a few chapters in, the first few chapters will focus on other members of new directions and it takes place before they all graduated. I do not own glee In any way or any of the songs used in this chapter, I only own the step-ups and the teacher.
Plot Outline: Mr. Schue has taken 10 of New Directions to the UK to meet a local school's glee club known as The Step-Ups. There Blaine meets a girl of his wildest dreams and imagination; which makes Kurt extremely jealous. Let's see what happens…..
Chapter 1: Welcome to the UK!
"Okay guys, 20 minutes til we land" Mr. Schue exclaimed "now remember that some of the songs this glee club are going to sing over the next few weeks might be completely oblivious to us, so please be nice"
Rachel was bouncing in her seat, Finn was practically holding her down in the process; Blaine turned to Rory and asked "So the UK huh Rory? Is it as good as Ireland?" Rory smiled to himself, being appreciative of Blaine's effort. "I've only been a few times with my family; but from what I've seen it's ok"
*AN HOUR AND A HALF LATER*
With all their luggage and carry-on's collected, New Directions were on their way to Shoeberry Lane High School. (A/N: don't know if that is actually a real school; so don't kill me LOL)
"Hey guys" Mr Schue started "I've just asked the driver and it should be a half hour drive to the hotel and a 15 minute walk to the school from there"
*45 MINUTES LATER*
They were here- they were at S.L.H.
Mr schue had explained that they would observe the school's glee club 'The Step-Ups' before performing themselves and pairing up individually with one of the british students. Miss Joy: head of the step-ups introduced herself and told them all to take a seat.
"So the guys are going to do a tribute to one of the UK's most successful boy band's to date, Take That". Everyone except Rory looked at her with blank faces "don't worry if you haven't heard of them" she continued "so without further ado; here are the step-ups" the group consisted of 5 boys and 5 girls and before long the orchestra started to play…

"So what did you think?" Miss joy asked "It was amazing" Rachel said, shocked at the fact that she enjoyed it so much. "That's great to hear you guys" Miss Joy continued "lets see what you've got" And with that the two groups switched places and began to sing the song that bought New Directions together…
Just a small town girlLivin' in a lonely worldShe took the midnight trainGoin' anywhereJust a city boyBorn and raised in South DetroitHe took the midnight trainGoin' anywhereA singer in a smokey roomA smell of wine and cheap perfumeFor a smile they can share the nightIt goes on and on and on and onStrangers waitingUp and down the boulevardTheir shadows searchingIn the nightStreetlights, peopleLivin' just to find emotionHidin', somewhere in the nightWorkin' hard to get my fillEverybody wants a thrillPayin' anything to roll the diceJust one more timeSome will winSome will loseSome were born to sing the bluesOh, the movie never endsIt goes on and on and on and onStrangers waitingUp and down the boulevardTheir shadows searchingIn the nightStreetlights, peopleLivin' just to find emotionHidin', somewhere in the nightDon't stop believin'Hold on to the feelin'Streetlights, peopleDon't stop believin'Hold onStreetlights, people
"That was incredible guys" miss joy said enthusiastically "Mr Schuester, you should be very proud of your group" "you as well Miss Joy" Mr schue complimented back.
"Okay; so one of the first assignments we have for all of you is simple; Myself and Mr. Schue are going to pair you up into groups so you can do duets, each at the same time learning about your partner and their musical tastes" Miss Joy explained. "if you all come by in an hour, we'll have a list made up of who's paired up with who" Mr schue continued, urging both groups to take a break until then.
*ONE HOUR LATER*
Both New Directions and the step-ups waited impatiently for the list to be put up. Their pictures had been taken so it would be easier for the students to identify their partners and finally the moment they had all been waiting for had arrived….
Rory Flanagan - April Moorely
Rachel Berry - Tyler Jameson
Finn Hudson - Emma Hale
Brittany .S. Pierce - Oliver 'Olly' Willis
Kurt Hummel - Eliza Roberts
Santana Lopez - Marco Grey
Noah Puckerman - Andrea 'Andi' Wright

The list was attached with a note,
As of tomorrow, you and your partner will be doing two songs; one from an american artist and one from a british artist. As a group, you and your partner will each decide which song suits you.
Choose carefully,
Miss Joy & Mr Schue
