Disclaimer – I own nothing of Glee or the song Say A Prayer. Both belong to their respected owners. 'Nuff said.
Italics are song lyrics.
A/N: I was listening to the song Say A Prayer and this idea just came to me.
Summary: AU: After McKinley is bombed, Rachel and the rest of Glee club sing Say A Prayer. Based on the song Say A Prayer from the musical Memphis. Rated T because I'm paranoid.
Genre: Friendship/None
Rating: T
Rachel screamed as she heard the building collapse around her. McKinley was being bombed and there wasn't anything anyone could do.
"Kurt? Finn? Blaine? Mercedes? Anyone?" Rachel called in-between coughs. There was a soft groan near Rachel's left leg. She looked down and saw Tina in the rubble. She pulled Tina out of the building and went outside where everyone else was.
She was now in the hospital, along with Kurt, Blaine, Finn, Mercedes, Quinn and the rest of Glee club. The Glee clubbers had managed to get a room together, which was comforting to everyone.
"How is everyone?" Rachel asked as she joined the others. She had gotten away with smoke inhalation and a broken arm. The others looked a lot worse. They had lost two people – Rory and Lauren.
"How do you think we feel, Rachel?" Kurt spat, holding Blaine's uninjured hand in his.
That night, Rachel sat up in her hospital bed and swung her legs over the side of the bed.
"Say a prayer that change is a comin'
Say a prayer that hope is 'round the bend
And if you prayer that change is a comin', oh Jesus
Then may what you pray come true,
Amen." Rachel sang, holding Mercedes' hand in hers.
The other Glee clubbers were now awake and sat up in their hospital beds.
"Say a prayer." They all sang.
"That change is a comin'." Rachel sang.
"Say a prayer." Everyone sang.
They were now out of the hospital and were helping Mr. Schue, Coach Sylvester and Principal Figgins dig through the rubble.
"That hope is 'round the bend." Mike crooned.
"And if you pray that change is a comin', oh Jesus!" everyone sang.
"May what you pray/pray." Rachel sang, picking up a piece of rubble and tossed it aside.
"May what you pray/pray." Finn sang.
Nineteen years later
The Glee clubbers sent their children off to the new and improved McKinley High. They headed to Glee club and chatted with each other until their new Glee advisor, Mr. Will Schuester the Second, smiled and had them introduce themselves.
"Amber Puckerman."
"Jordynne Hudson."
"Alan Hudson."
"Penney Hudson."
"Raven Jones – mom's raising me by herself."
"Isabelle Fabray."
"Anita Lopez-Speers."
"Vanessa Abrams."
"Gloria Cohen-Chang."
"Sarah Zizes."
"Iris Hummel-Anderson."
Once everyone introduced himself or herself, Mr. Schue the second had them warm up their voices. Just then, a blond-haired girl entered and sat towards the back.
"Hi – what's your name?" Mr. Schue the second asked the new student.
"Olivia Evans." The girl spoke up.
The other Glee clubbers smiled at Olivia and made her feel welcome.
May what you pray come true
Amen
