Hey! I'm back! It's been so long! Not really, but whatever. I've had this idea in my head for a while, but I wanted to wait until I started high school and now I did! The best way describe this story is as an AU of the newbie's junior year if Cory/Finn didn't pass away and Finn ran the Glee Club for Will.

"Hey," Finn Hudson said, "I just want to say congratulations to all of you for your hard work earning money to restart the Glee Club. You were all amazing," In the back row, Marley Rose and Ryder Lynn smiled at each other, "Anyway, we already have a few signups so today will just be a day to watch the auditions and relax." As they walked to the auditorium, Kitty, Unique, Jake and Finn were discussing last year's nationals. Ryder and Marley were slightly behind them, having a quiet mock argument about which Disney villain was the best.

"Come on Ry, it has to be Scar."

"No way! It's obviously Ursula. She stole a girl's freaking voice and then transformed herself into a hot girl to get the prince to fall in love with her and then grew into a skyscraper to set stuff on fire and make a water tornado."

"Yeah, well Scar tried to eat a cute little bird, threw his own brother off of a cliff, manipulated a cute little baby lion into thinking he killed his own father, set hyenas after him and tried to drop him into fire." By the end of this conversation, the groups had reached the auditorium and were sitting down. Finn looked down at his clipboard and called the first name.

"Alyson Urbach." A short, pudgy, nervous looking girl came on stage, carrying a microphone with her.

"What will you be singing for us today?" Alyson began a rendition of a song none of them recognized. Her voice was low pitch, but also squeaky; an ear bursting combination. After a couple lines, Finn put his hand in the air.

"That will be all Alyson. Thank you." She nodded and walked back off stage. Finn called several more names. Some had potential, but most didn't, "Next is Brynklie Lynn."

"NO," Ryder said, standing up, "No way," Another girl came out onto the stage. She had blond hair and brown eyes."What the hell are you doing here."

"Ryder, language," Finn said, "And how do you know her."

"I'm his sister," Brynklie said from the stage.

"She can't join the Glee Club," Ryder complained.

"Why not," she replied defensively.

"Because…because you can't." Brynklie looked at her brother, her eyes narrowed.

"That," she replied, almost at a loss for words, "That was the stupidest thing you've ever said and last week you asked me if a fly without wings would be called a run."

"I was kidding," Ryder protested. Brynklie rolled her eyes.

"Well, I'm auditioning and you can't stop me," then, she added, "Ryder, sit down. You look like an idiot." Ryder sat down, staring stony eyed at Brynklie. She grabbed the microphone and waited for the music to begin.

Oh Oh

Ooh Ooh Ooh

I loved you, I loved you

With all that's in my power

I was used and abused

Til I was sweet and sour

I kissed you and kissed you

And gave you all my sugar

You knew that I'd be useless

If I let you know what you were to me

I thought it would be OK

And we shared everything

No way

And I told you, I told you

How I was such a sad case

You said you could save me

I'm doing the saving

Went to sleep with superhero

And he woke up a villain

Killing and killing my love

Oh, what happened?

Oh, no, what happened

You got me fighting

Like wonder woman, woman

But...

I, I, I don't wanna fi-I-ight

Don't wear no ti-I-ights

And I can't fly-y-y

I'm no, I'm no superhero-o-o

Oh, oh, oh

I, I, I don't wanna fi-I-ight

Don't wear no ti-I-ights

And I can't fly-y-y

I'm no, I'm no superhero-o-o

Oh, oh, oh

Oh no, don't know what happened.

Don't know what happened.

Don't know what happened.

I keep trying and trying

To wrap my head around it

Crying so can't let nobody see how I'm acting

You hurt me, you hurt me

And no not physically

Ain't got no bumps and bruises

To show people what you're doing to me

I thought it would be OK

But you see I heard everything you said

And I knew it, I knew that you'd turn out to be a sad case

You said you could save me

I'm doing the saving

I, I, I don't wanna fi-I-ight

Don't wear no ti-I-ights

And I can't fly-y-y

I'm no, I'm no superhero-o-o

Oh, oh, oh

I, I, I don't wanna fi-I-ight

Don't wear no ti-I-ights

And I can't fly-y-y

I'm no, I'm no superhero-o-o

Oh, oh, oh

Oh no

Putting the microphone down, she began to dance while she sung the rap of the song, her voice filling the auditorium without a need for microphones.

You got me

Using all my Kung Fu tricks, tricks

Hit 'em with the round house kick to the tempo

1, 2, 3, 4 hung hi ho, T.K.O, Tae Kwon Do

You know

When you see that hand go chop

Everything stops

The flow so hot

Like steam from a coffee pot

"Crap," Jake said, watching her doing backflips, "You know Ryder, she's actually pretty good." Ryder glared at him, opened his mouth, and was cut off when Jake spoke again, "Holy crap! Did you see that? She just did, like, fifteen perfect pirouettes." Ryder looked away as Brynklie picked up the microphone again.

Rush hour, no traffic

No Jet Li, just Jackie

You acting like you stay behind

Go read up on your classics

You ol' fake-o wanna be superman

Give Clark Kent back his glasses

Man I hit you with a judo kick so fast

You look back like what happened

Oh, no

I, I, I don't wanna fi-I-ight

Don't wear no ti-I-ights

And I can't fly-y-y

I'm no, I'm no superhero-o-o

Oh, oh, oh

I, I, I don't wanna fi-I-ight

Don't wear no ti-I-ights

And I can't fly-y-y

I'm no, I'm no superhero-o-o

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

I, I, I don't wanna fi-I-ight

Don't wear no ti-I-ights

And I can't fly-y-y

I'm no, I'm no superhero-o-o

Oh, oh, oh

I, I, I don't wanna fi-I-ight

Don't wear no ti-I-ights

And I can't fly-y-y

I'm no, I'm no superhero-o-o

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, no what happened

Oh, no what happened

Oh, no what happened

She finished her routine and everybody clapped, except, of course, Ryder, who was glaring at his sister.

"Wow," Finn said, standing up, "That was amazing! How long were you working on that?"

"Two days, maybe."

"Wow, only two days. I don't even think I need to say it, but welcome to the Glee Club."

"WHAT," Ryder said, resuming his standing position, "All she has to do is spin a couple times and she's automatically in?"

"I'm sor-" Finn started, but he was cut off when Brynklie shouted at her brother from the stage.

"RYDER! IF YOU CALL IT SPINNING ONE MORE TIME-"

"I'm sorry Ryder," Finn said interrupting her rant, "But she's got a great voice and anyway, we're low on dancers and clearly she's good at choreographing."

"Yeah," Kitty said, "Maybe if we have this one, we'll have better choreography than what Mr. Schuester pulled out of Kidz Bop videos."

"Thanks so much guys," Brynklie said excitedly.

"Shut up," Ryder called sarcastically.

"No," she yelled back.

"Ok," Finn said, "That's everybody. We still have, like, ten minutes left so we can just go back to the choir room and hang out. Brynklie, you can just come with us and we can do introductions and stuff."

"Sure." As the Glee Club trooped out of the auditorium, Marley asked the question Ryder was dreading.`

"Hey, I didn't know you had a sister. Why didn't you tell me?"

"I guess it just never came up," Ryder said. He was lying. Ryder never really got to know his younger sister. She had been homeschooled up until that year and when she wasn't at home she was at the dance studio. Their schedules never matched up and they never really saw much of each other. By then, they had returned to the choir room and were sitting in their usual chairs. Brynklie stood in the middle of the room with Finn.

"Ok, so do we want to do introductions," he suggested, "I'm Finn, I'm running the Glee Club for Mr. Schuester while he's home with his son. Everybody else, say your name and something interesting about you, I guess, starting with Marley."

"I'm Marley and I want to be a singer on the radio."

"I'm Jake and I dance too."

"I'm Unique and I'm just giving you a heads up, I'm the head diva up here, but girl you are fierce."

"I'm Kitty, and I sometimes wonder why I come here."

"I'm not going to introduce because if you don't know me you're kind of stupid and I don't think you should be here because you can't sing," Ryder said.

"Neither can you," Brynklie shot back, "A little note, dude, the bathroom is right next my room. Tone it down a little in the shower." The two siblings glared at each other, while the others fought down laughter.

"Brynklie," Finn cut in, "How about you tell a little about yourself?"

"I'm Brynklie Lynn-".

"Did anybody in your family get a normal name," Kitty asked, "Ryder? Brynklie?"

"I don't know," she said, defensively, "Let me ask my mom, Blanche."

"Is that really her name," Finn asked.

"No. Her name is Diane. Anyway, my name is Brynklie. I'm fourteen, so I'm a freshman. I was homeschooled up until this year to focus on dance and singing. I danced fifty hours a week, plus a competition every Saturday. It was just starting to be a little much. I miss it, even though I still dance a lot, but it's okay because I like school."

The same time the next day, the whole glee club, including Brynklie, had gathered in the choir room as usual. They were all sitting in a small circle of chairs and explaining the past drama's of the Glee Club in detail. Finn was just getting to when Rachel told him the Puck was the father of Quinn's baby - through the telling and retelling of this story, Puck now had a full mullet and Quinn was seven months pregnant - when someone opened the door and a Cheerio walked in.

"Coach Sylvester needs to see Brynklie Lynn." Immediately the conversation changed from the 'Glee Club Memory Lane in Excruciating Detail' to 'How to Survive Coach Sylvester in Five Easy Steps'.

"Don't insult Madonna or Olivia Newton John."

"Don't make it really obvious that you're fake laughing at the bad jokes."

"Don't eat or drink anything in there."

"Don't show any emotion at the insults. There's one for everyone."

"Don't show fear."

"Kitty," Finn said at the sight of Brynklie's terrified expression, "Why don't you bring her. You know where the office is." She nodded and the two walked out the door.

"I wonder what Coach Sylvester wants. Maybe to recruit you to the Cheerios."

"Cheerios?"

"The cheer team here."

"Coach Sylvester teaches cheerleading?"

"Yeah. She's coming close to twenty years of teaching. Pretty impressive."

"Wait, is Coach Sylvester a woman."

"Yeah. That may have been something we should have mentioned."

"Maybe," Brynklie replied, sarcastically.

Just as they had reached Sue Sylvester's office, the warning bell went off, Kitty said, "Crap. I have to go to science. Just knock. You'll be fine." Kitty retreated back down the hall. Brynklie raised her hand to knock on the door, but before she could, she heard a woman's voice.

"I gave this job to Santana Lopez three years ago and she failed dismally." Brynklie couldn't hear what whoever she was talking to said, but Coach Sylvester began to speak again, "We'll see. If you are able to destroy them from the inside, the Glee Club is mine!" Brynklie heard the sliding of a chair being pushed back, then a moment later, a tall, dark girl dressed in a cheerleading uniform strutted out, leaving the door wide open behind her. She paused in front of Brynklie, before raising her eyebrows and brushing past her. Brynklie took a deep breath and knocked on the doorframe, before peeking her head inside.

"Ah, Brynklie," A woman in a red tracksuit said, "Come. Sit down. Welcome to McKinley. As you probably know, I am Sue Sylvester and I run the Cheerios here."

"I've heard," Brynklie said, trying her best to be polite. From the other things she had heard about Sue, she was not a person you wanted on your bad side.

"Well, I have heard quite a few things about you. I'm not gonna lie, most of those things were bad, but of the positive, I heard you were a very good dancer."

"So people say."

"I want to offer you a spot on the Cheerios. You're small, so you would be an automatic flyer. It's a big honor." Now, Brynklie had a grudge against cheerleaders. She assumed it was a dancer thing. She did, however, want to be polite, so she thought her answer through very carefully.

"I would," Brynklie said, slowly, "But I already joined a club and I don't really have time for anything else with my dance schedule and school."

"And which club would that be?"

"The Glee Club!" Sue's eyes narrowed.

"The Glee Club," she growled, "So Frankenteen and his posse got to you?"

"Posse?"

"Maybe you are a stupid as your brother. You know, Young Quinn Fabray, Flynn Ryder, Young Noah Puckerman, Him Slash Her and - " Sue stopped mid-sentence. She tipped her head to one side, then the other, "How strange. I am still completely incapable of finding a clever insult for Marley Rose."

"I, um, have to go, but sorry. I don't think I can join the Cheerios. Thanks for the offer though."

"Hey," Ryder said, coming up to Marley's locker, "I really hate to do this but I think I have to cancel for Friday." A week earlier, Ryder, who had long since given up on Marley, had asked her if she wanted to hang out. He missed the time they had spent hanging out together. Unfortunately, he was about to ruin it:

"Why," Marley replied, trying not to look disappointed.

"I got stuck driving Brynklie and some of her dancer friends to the competition on Friday, and I totally forgot." Brynklie, who generally was not a meddlesome sister, had overheard this conversation and wanted to help.

"Not to sound like I was eavesdropping," Brynklie started, coming up to them, "Actually, I don't really care. But didn't I tell you that mom said you didn't have to do that."

"No," Ryder said, sounding shocked, "You didn't."

"Oh. I thought I did. You couldn't get a car because dad has to work late and mom's visiting Grandma so she got someone else to drive and I also was supposed to tell you that we won't be home until Sunday because we have to stay overnight because it's in Boston and I'm rambling, so anyway, you're free."

"Oh, cool," he said, then looked at Marley, "I guess it's still on for Friday then."

"Great," she said, smiling, "I'll be looking forward to it." She waved and headed towards the lunchroom.

"Why are you still here," Ryder asked Brynklie.

"Dude. You're my ride." The pair started walking down the hallway towards the exit.

"Hey," Ryder said, "When did mom say I didn't have to drive?"

"Oh that. She didn't."

"Then why did you tell me she did."

"Because Marley really wanted to hang out with you. And you wanted to too. I didn't want you to screw that up. Especially not because of me."

"All that aside, how are you going to convince mom that someone else is driving. She hates to reschedule things like that." Brynklie thought about it for a little bit.

"I might have to make a few calls, but I can make this week Skye's mom's week to drive to the competition."

"Well whatever you do, thanks."

"No problem. I love Ryley."

"I don't know what that means"

"Good."

Hi! I hope you like this! I've had this idea in my head for a while. Please don't hate it yet! So far, I think I will update every two weeks but it will probably change to something more frequent. A bunch of people I've had read this have asked me how to say Brynklie, and it's pronounced like Brink-lee. I know Brynklie is a different name, but it was just the first name that really stuck. The song I used for this chapter was Superhero by Cher Lloyd. Please review because it gives me such happiness.
