I do not own Glee or anything to do with it. That belongs to Ryan Murphy and FOX. I also don't own `The Sound of music` that belongs to their own respective companies
Me again with another new fic. I decided to do a spin on `The sound of music` and do a version of it but in the Glee universe. It won`t be the same as the musical/movie but it will be similar. I hope you all like it and don't forget to review. Also Emma still has OCD but is getting better so something similar as to how she is coping now. Also the setting would be at the start of season 2 but obviously Carl never happened.
Distractions sometime cause dreams to happen
Chapter one: Solving problems isn't easy sometimes
(A bright eyed Emma Pillsbury sat at the choir room piano at the school where she was the guidance counsellor at. She smiled as she traced the keys and wished that she could somehow manage to be involved in music. She had always wanted to but never felt like she could stand up for herself at the school. Suddenly she squeaked as she glanced at her wrist watch and realised that she was late for the faculty meeting. Picking up her bag and her jacket she jumped up off the bench and left the choir room behind)
"Where is Emma!" Judith Jenkins the English teacher sighed tapping her hand with one finger. She was older than Emma and felt she should keep the younger girl in line
"I hope she hasn't been in my choir room again" Miss Dalton shook her head loosinig her long blonde hair out over her shoulders. She was the maths but also took the glee club and she was fed up of Emma keep coming in her choir room at her breaks. Another woman, who was inbetween ages of the two women, raised an eyebrow
"Really Sasha can't you give Emma the benefit of the doubt. She could have been chatting to someone and lost track of time" Darlene Ferguson the science teacher glared at Sasha and was about to start an argument when Judith lifted her hand up and noticed Principal Shaw standing at the door of the faculty lounge, She walked in and both Sasha and Darlene shrank back, Sasha bent over her nails and Darlene continuing to read a magazine
"Why are you three shouting, I can hear you three all the way down the hallway" she spoke quietly and Sasha and Darlene both looked at Judith to explain everything
"Principal Shaw its Emma. She`s late again and we think she might have been sneaking into Sasha`s choir room again" Judith explained to the older woman who gave a slight nod in agreement
"I agree" she replied "But I can't do anything about it. I mean she isn't doing any harm to the school or to herself"
"Yes but she isn't a proper teacher" Sasha argued before she was interrupted by a look from Darlene
"I actually don't mind Emma" Darlene sighed and gave a small smile "What you were young once" she glanced at Judith who gave a snort of annoyance "What about if I give her some words of advice?" she gave a look to Shaw who nodded but Sasha shook her head
"It won`t last" she replied "I have tried talking to her and she won't listen. Truth be told she could actually be a good coach but I`m the coach not her. And I`m not giving my place up without a fight" the blonde added on as an afterthought
"Maybe you could share" Darlene smiled but Sasha shot her friend a glare. Just as Principal Shaw was about to add something else a loud bang filled their ears and they turned to see Emma stood there, her red hair wild and her big brown eyes large. She had also knocked over a chair in her hurry to get in the room. She muttered an apology as she sat down in her seat as Judith shook her head, Darlene and Sasha looked down at the ground and Principal Shaw started to take the meeting but kept glancing at Emma as she did so
"I'm sorry" Emma whispered as she looked down at the ground "I guess I lost track of time and the door was open. It won't happen again I promise" she replied her eyes wide
"Emma this isn't the first time Sasha has caught you in her choir room though. Maybe you need to go away for a few months" Principal Shaw said firmly
"Your firing me aren't you" Emma said quietly a single tear rolling down her cheek and looking down at the ground. Principal Shaw shook her brown head as she looked in her desk drawer for what she was looking for and then looked across at Emma from opposite her desk
"I happen to know that at a school that my friend teaches at there is an opening for a guidance counsellor. They are also looking for a co-director for their glee club. The main director has had some, family, problems" she stressed the word family making Emma slightly confused "Plus the old co director, April her name was, suddenly did a bunk about three months ago leaving the guy alone with twelve students"
"But I haven't had any experience or anything in being a director!" Emma exclaimed her voice going an octave higher
"It wouldn't be forever just until they found someone else and until the guy got his family troubles back in order with" Shaw said firmly "This is your big chance Emma grab it with both hands. And when you return maybe we might see about teaming up with Sasha" Emma nodded with a faint smile and whispered thank you under her breath
"The school is William McKinley High School and it's in Lima Ohio. I know it's quite far from Virginia but well maybe you need to get far from here as you can" Shaw shrugged as she shook Emma`s hand "Good luck Emma" she said softly as Emma walked to the door and exited it slowly closing the door behind her
(Emma fiddled nervously with the bangle on her wrist as she waited for her flight to be called. She had been offered the job as Shaw had written her a good letter of recommendation but she was feeling quite nervous. I mean she wasn't that crazy around strangers anyway and what happened if the guy didn't like her. To her he sounded a bit frightening. And 12 children, Emma had an older brother but she didn't speak to him much and if they were like any of the children at Grundy High, Emma shuddered)
"Calling all final passengers for Flight AA612 to Lima Ohio" the tannoy announcer called as Emma sucked in some breath and stood up from her seat
"This is now or never" she thought as she picked up her carryon bag and walked to the terminal where the man checked her ticket wished her a nice flight and then turned the corner and walked onto the aircraft, where her new life was about to start nerves jangling but somewhere inside of Emma she knew she was doing the right thing.
And that's the first chapter. Sorry about the shortness of it but just wanted to kick start it. I hope it's not too confusing and that you understand where it is going. Next chapter should start the storyline off so this is just a filler chapter for the start but please review and let me know what you think and I should have the next chapter done in the next few days. So until next time see you soon.
