I've noticed that most Glee stories probably take place during a specific season, but this one doesn't. It just doesn't take place during season 4 because I hate Marley. A lot. I'm sorry if you do, and I don't even know why I don't like her, but I do. Anyway...I just watched Shooting Star and I almost cried when I found out who the shooter was and the story behind it. I'm going to be one week behind on all the episodes. Long story, but I haven't seen whatever episode came after the school shooting one.
Anyway, enjoy!
Disclaimer: I own no one but Alyssa Carson and Avery Callahan.
"We need to choose a song!" Alyssa says, annoyed while sitting on her bed.
"I'm sorry!" Finn says, sighing. "Rachel keeps texting me, and she gets mad if I don't respond."
"Hand me your phone," She says, sticking her hand out. It looks like he's going to object, but Alyssa gives him a look, so he sets his phone in her hand. She turns around and throws it into her closet, getting up afterward to close it.
Finn's eyes widen. "What was that for?!"
"I will take your phone out when we are done," She says. "Rachel can wait."
He sighs. "Okay, fine. What songs did you have in mind?"
"Well, I made a playlist on my iPod of all the duets I have on it. You can look and see if you like any of them."
Taking her iPod, he looks at the songs. Deciding on one, he presses Play and says, "I like this one."
"Then this is what we'll sing."
"What do you want to sing?" Avery asks, for the millionth time.
"I don't know. What do you want to sing?" Sam asks.
They'd been doing this for a good ten minutes now, just going back and forth, and it was beginning to get on Avery's nerves.
She groans. "We need to choose a song!"
"Give me your iPod," Sam says. She looks at him. "I'm gonna look at the songs that you have and choose a song that looks like a duet."
She sighs, taking her iPod out of her pocket and handing it to him. "Fine."
He scrolls some, finds a song, listens to it, and says, "This one."
"You're not even going to listen to the others?"
"Nope," He says. "If I did, I wouldn't be able to decide, because I don't know any of the songs on your iPod."
"Oh," She says. She sits up. "You want to play Halo?"
"Sure," He says, standing up.
"Okay, hopefully everyone has prepared songs for us to hear." Mr. Schue says. "Would anyone like to go first?"
Alyssa's hand pops up in the air. "I'd like to."
"Alright. Alyssa, Finn, you guys are up," He says, taking a seat as they stand up.

They're done, so Mr. Schue says that Avery and Sam can go, so they stand up and go to the front of the room.
"I gotta say something that I've been thinking about
I can't wait to lay around with you
And tell you all the secrets
I've been keeping to myself"
"It's been a while since I've felt butterflies
Do you feel the same way too?
If every single second could last that much longer,
Would you hold me..."
"And kiss me again?
Underneath the moonlight
You're more than a friend
Oh... I knew it from the first time
Yeah... Hold me, feel my heart beat,
Put your arms around me and kiss me again
Kiss me again..."
"I gotta say I wasn't expecting you to come this way
And fall into my arms
And now I know I can't deny these feelings any longer."
"I close my eyes, I can't stop thinking about you
Crack a smile, I just can't lose
Add another minute
My heart beats to the limit when I'm with you"
"So, kiss me again
Underneath the moonlight
You're more than a friend... oh
I knew it from the first time... yeah
Hold me, feel my heart beat,
Put your arms around me and kiss me again
I can't let you go, can't let you float away
'Cause that would be a mistake
I'm not ready to run
Can't let you go to waste
No, no, no...
And kiss me again
Underneath the moonlight
You're more than a friend... oh
I knew it from the first time
Yeah... Hold me, feel my heart beat,
Put your arms around me and kiss me again
Hold me, feel my heart beat,
Put your arms around me and kiss me again,
And again, and again...
Oh kiss me again..."
When they're done, they look at everyone. Avery is smiling because that was one of her favorite songs, and Sam was smiling because he got to sing with Avery.
Rachel raises her hand. "I don't know that song."
Avery frowns. "Kiss Me Again by We Are the In Crowd featuring Alex Gaskarth? You don't know that song?"
"Telling me the name of it won't make me know it," She says.
Avery looks at everyone. "Do you guys even know who Alex Gaskarth is?"
Alyssa smiles. "Yeah, he's the lead singer of All Time Low, right?"
"Thank you!" Avery says.
"Avery, Sam," Mr. Schue says. "You guys can sit down now."
Avery and Sam sit down and everyone else sings their duets. Rachel, of course, chose to sing a Broadway song. Finally, when everyone has sung their songs and is sitting, Mr. Schue stands up.
"Okay, guys," He says, smiling. "I want to get to know you. I want everyone to get to know you. Next week, you're going to sing your favorite song, no matter how personal or how impersonal you think it is."
Rachel raises her hand. "Mr. Schue –"
"If you've already sung your favorite song, you can sing something you feel describes you." He says. "Any other questions?" When no one says anything, he tells them they can leave.
"Hey, Avery."
Avery stops walking with Noah and turns around, to find Alyssa standing there.
"Yeah?"
"What's Rachel's favorite song?"
She laughs. "It's called Don't Rain on my Parade or something. She sings it all the time."
"Oh…"
"Well, I guess I'll see you later, Alyssa," Avery says, turning around to catch up to Noah, who was standing at the doorway.
"Bye!"
Once she gets to Noah, he asks, "Have any songs in mind?"
She shrugs. "One or two. Maybe I'll sing two. Mr. Schue never said I couldn't."
"Avery!"
"Why does everyone want to talk to me today?" She asks, turning around as Brittany runs up to her. "Yes, Brittany?"
"You have Spanish with Santana, right?" She asks, smiling.
"Yes, why?" She asks.
"Could you give this to her?" She asks, placing something in her hands.
Avery looks down at the folded up note. "Sure."
"Thanks!" She says. "I'll see you guys later!"
"Alright," She says as Brittany walks away. She turns to Noah. "We need to hurry up, my mom was awake this morning."
They head to his car, where they listen to Nirvana until they reach Avery's house.
"If your mom asks why you're late, just blame me," Noah says.
"Only if she asks," She says. "If she's asleep, we have nothing to worry about."
"If you want, you can come over later," He says.
She shrugs. "I might."
"Guess I'll see you later, then," He says.
"Later, Puckerman."
She gets out of the car and closes the car door. She walks up to the front door, takes a deep breath, and walks in. Jack runs up to her out of nowhere.
"Where have you been?!" He asks. "Mom's pissed!"
Avery walks a little further into the house, into the living room, where her mom is sitting on the couch, smoking a cigarette and watching a rerun of Law and Order: SVU.
Without looking at her, she says, "Where have you been, Avery?"
"You know I'm in glee club," She says. "We just ran a little late."
"Really?" She asks, raising an eyebrow and finally looking at her. "Were you really at glee club? Are you sure you weren't with that Puckerman kid?"
"Well, he's in glee club, too," Avery says. "So, he was there."
"Give it up, Avery," She says, frowning. "I know you're seeing him."
"I am not dating him!" She yells, walking past her and to her room.
"Avery Dylan, just wait till your father hears about this!" Her mom yells after she slams the door to her room.
That meant her dad was coming home tonight. That meant she had to leave. Now.
Avery climbed out of her window, running the two blocks until she got to Noah's house. After catching her breath, she knocks on his door. His mom answers.
"Avery!" She says, smiling. Avery has hung out with her son since they met, and has been over at his house probably more than her own house. "Noah just got home. He's in his room."
Avery smiles. "Thanks, Ms. Puckerman."
She goes through the familiar house until she reaches Noah's room. She knocks and walks in. He's sitting on his bed and looks up from his guitar.
He frowns. "What's wrong?"
"My dad's coming home tonight," She says, frowning. "My mom is angry at me and told me he was coming home."
"You can stay here as long as you want," He says. "My mom won't mind. She loves you."
"I won't spend the night," She says. "I'll go home later."
"Alright," He says. He turns toward the door and yells, "MOM! AVERY'S STAYING FOR DINNER!"
"SHE CAN STAY AS LONG AS SHE LIKES!" She yells back.
She and Noah stay in his room, messing around on his guitar and playing video games. When it was time for dinner, she ate with him and his mom then stayed in his room for another hour.
Finally, she says, "I think I should go."
"Are you sure?" He asks.
She nods. "I'll be fine. I'll see you at school tomorrow."
"Be careful, Avery," He says as she leaves his room.
The song that Alyssa and Finn sang was Good Girls Go Bad by Cobra Starship feat. Leighton Meester. And the song that Avery and Sam sang, which Avery said the name of, was Kiss Me Again by We Are the In Crowd feat. Alex Gaskarth.
