Summary: Glee- Season 1 Episode 1: After Will Schuester confirms that he won't be leaving McKinley High the Glee club decides to stay late after school to practice the one song that finalized Will's decision. (One-Shot)
As Mr. Schuester walked toward the auditorium through the dim-lit halls of McKinley High he heard not the sounds of his students' singing, but of his students' laughing. The unusual and very confusing sound almost made him drop the stack of music sheets when he noticed the group standing on stage sharing short stories events in their life in between intervals of dance numbers.
It was slightly a miracle to see everyone getting along. From the silent yet strong willed Finn to the loud and perky Rachel, everyone seemed to be getting along. Mr Schuester smiled as he watched the small group dance and sing a few notes as they went along, but he knew that this peaceful moment wasn't going to last much longer when he announced how many songs he was planning on practicing that night and how many solos there were. Taking a deep breath, Will walked to the front of the stage.
"Okay, everybody, I have some good and bad news!" He said walking up onto the stage as he searched through the stack of papers he was holding. The group surrounded him as he handed out copies of multiple songs.
"What's the good and what's the bad?" Mercedes asked raising a brow and putting a hand on her hip. Though Mercedes' signature move was pretty much harmless to the rest of the group and him, Will knew that he'd need to keep a special eye on her after his announcement. After all, it wasn't school hours and no one basically knew that the group was there at that moment, so who knew what Mercedes could and would do to get to the top, or in this case, to get the solo.
"The good news is that I've chosen three songs that I thought was perfect at your auditions," Rachel smiled brightly and clapped knowing that it had to be her song. "The bad news is that there are only two solos and one duet."
"I can do the duet with Finn!" Rachel said looping her arm through Finn's. Finn stood there physically uncomfortable from being that close to Rachel. Though she was nice at times, she sorta acted crazy or insane the rest. At least that's what Finn had thought.
"Uh.." Will began, but was interrupted.
"I can do the duet with Finn!" Kurt suddenly said raising his hand, but then soon backing away when everyone looked at him strangely.
"I can do one of the solos, or both." Mercedes said.
"I-I-I'd loved to do a s-s-solo." Tina said.
"I could do a solo!" Arty spoke up.
"Mr. Schuester! I could do the solos and the duet, I'm so much better than these people!" Rachel said.
"Oh, Hell to the no!" Mercedes yelled at Rachel. The group began to yell at each other and echoes could be heard.
"Enough!" Will yelled. The group silenced and looked at him with wide eyes. "We are all going to decide what songs we want to sing and then we're going to vote on who you think could do their best with the song. You cannot choose yourself, though. Okay? Are we all good?" Will looked around to see everyone thinking about it and then nodding their heads. "Okay, let's get started!"
Everyone scrambled to get into places for the first song. 'Maybe these kids won't be so bad.." Will thought smiling. Little did he know was that he was all talk and no action when it came to teaching the kids the new lessons.
