WICKED
Chapter 1
"Show tunes," Will said excitedly after writing it down on the board. He looked out at the group with his usual wide grin.
Both Rachel and Kurt smiled with satisfaction because this was so their area of expertise and they both knew it so they took a quick glance at each other.
"Like cartoons?" said Brittany with her typically confused look.
"No, like the theme song to 'CSI'," Finn said nodding his head like he was totally rocking to The Who's 'Who Are You' in his head until he saw the disturbed look on Rachel's face and he quit because he realized he was totally off base.
"Show tunes are songs that come from musicals either on or off-Broadway," Kurt told them.
"Yes! Do you all remember when Kurt and Rachel sang 'Defying Gravity for us? Well that was a prime example of a show tune," Will said without hesitation.
"Do we have to pick partners again?" Santana sighed.
"You can if you want but it's not a requirement this time," Will explained to them. "I just want you to find a musical and a song from it that fits you and who you are."
"I already know what song we're going to do," Rachel said excitedly to Finn who looked more panicked with each passing moment.
"Now you can't pick a song that has already been done within the club but you may do a song from one of the same musicals," Will said to them with caution.
Rachel's cell phone rings
"Rachel? You know to turn your phone off during Glee Club," Will said.
"I know Mr. Schue, I apologize," she said as she looked down to see who it was. It was Shelby Corcoran, Rachel's mother. When the phone went to voice mail there was no message left so she set the phone to vibrate. Then she got a text also from Shelby, 'Meet me in the Auditorium.' She looked up and said, "I have to go." She rushed out of the room towards the Auditorium.
Will looked at the door and then back to Finn who only shrugged not sure how to respond either.
"So, show tunes," Kurt smiled.
Will sighed and shook his head to bring himself back "Yeah."
