Glee S5 AU
Episode 2
Tina in the Sky with Diamonds

Author's Comments: Plotwise, nothing changes much, although it really only focused on Tina's arc. Because I personally think that was an amazing story for Tina, it really made Glee Club seem like a family too, during Hey Jude and that was awesome. Next episode rewrite will definitely differ from Glee's story. It'll be focused on Finn but nothing about death.

Episode Storylines:
Tina: After years of insecurity, Tina finally dares to run for Prom Queen and is determined to win
Kitty: Nominated alongside Tina for Prom Queen, she must now choose where her loyalty lies

Sam
Something in the way she knows
And all I have to do is think of her
Something in the things she shows me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how

"Alright, Sam!" Finn jumped out of his seat and smacked Sam on the back. Sam smiled sheepishly as he walked back to his seat.

"Well, that song's going to give me nightmares about Sam's mouth," Kitty mocked, contorting her face in the most disturbing manner ever.

"Kitty, don't be rude," Mr. Schue said, staring straight at the blonde cheerleader.

"Did you see the way his mouth moved, especially during his whole 'slow-mo' impression, I mean what the heck is that?"

"Don't say that, that was a beautiful song dedicated to me," Tina asserted.

Sam rocked uncomfortably in his seat. "Erm, Tina, that song wasn't for you."

"What?" She jumped out of her seat, so violently, causing the chair behind her to topple over. "But you agreed to go with me to Prom."

"Yeah, but that new nurse girl's kind of hot," Sam didn't even need to look around to see everyone's faces of disbelief. No one ever just says that to a girl. Tina's face was even redder than usual. "Not saying you're not hot, it's just Penny's a whole lot hotter, ya know?" But that didn't seem to do any good, Tina's eyes grew even wider as if she was going to explode. A ticking-time bomb.

Luckily for him, Dottie came running into the choir room screaming for Tina.

"What is it Dottie?!" Tina screamed out in annoyance. Way too loud that Unique dropped her lip-stick and Mr Schue snapped his marker into two. And Sam's just happy that shout wasn't directed in his direction.

"Erm," Dottie started, but after seeing Tina's impatience, quickly rambled on, "nomination for Prom Queen, Aimee Ryan, Jordon Stern, Kitty Wilde, Tina-C... you."

Tina spun round to face the Glee club, her face lit up like a beacon in the sea, in very deep contrast to her expression before. She covers her mouth as she bends down in excitement, silently screaming into her palms. Everyone claps for her as Kitty wondered in silence. "But I'm a sophomore," she murmured to Joe.

Joe turned to her, "Prom here is for everybody. King and Queen can go to freshmen too."

"Weird school."

"Amen."

"Kitty," Tina, finally snapping out of her excitement, walked towards Kitty with an accusing finger, "you're nominated too right?"

"Get that finger away from me, Chang-Chang. And yes, I am," she studied Tina's disappointed demeanour and continued, smiling at Tina, "but I'm still a sophomore, you have my one hundred percent support."

After hearing that, Tina burst into a smile, and surveyed the members in front of her. But then it struck her, "So, who's taking me to Prom?" Everyone fell silent. She looked over to Sam but quickly remembered about his stunning betrayal and turned her attention to the other guys instead.

"I'm going with Unique," Ryder pointed out.

"An apology for overreacting to the whole cat-fishing thing." A comment that made Ryder roll his eyes at Unique. Unsurprisingly, that was still a topic to stay away from. "I'll quit Glee club, Mr. Schue," chimed Unique, impersonating Ryder the best she can.

"I'm going, slash not going with Kitty," mused Artie, who earned a slap on the shoulder from Kitty for that.

"I got Bible study that night," Joe croaked in his seat, "I'm not going at all."

"And Jake's taking me," Marley said, as Jake leaned in for a kiss.

Tina had to look away just to avoid the awkwardness at looking at them. But deep inside her she could feel a bit of jealousy. She looked around to Blaine, who was still leaning on the piano, head down onto the keys. He hasn't spoken in days after Kurt rejected him. Tina sighed and took another glance at the options she had left. She had none in the Glee club anymore, unless...

"Finn!"

"Huh?" Finn gulped. He hadn't been listening since the start of Tina's rambles about Prom since he really couldn't care less about girlish fantasies, but now he thought he was in trouble. "Wait, what?"

"Tina, he's not even a student anymore, and he's not a teacher, I'm not sure he can go to the Prom." Tina looked right at Mr. Schue with annoyance. Clearly, he had not been caught up with New Direction's affairs this year.

"If Santana can come back for our school production of Grease," stressing on school so much to make Finn feel really guilty, "Finn can come for Prom."

Finn opened his mouth to protest but just then the bell rang and Tina was halfway out the door.

"What the hell just happened?"

"You've got a new date," Artie chuckled as he wheeled past.

Glee

Kitty walked silently through the halls McKinley high school, watching as the crowd edge away from her path. She amuses herself this way, the power she has in this school. She turned to her locker, sending a couple who was making out in front of it away. To the depths of hell, hopefully, she thought. Jealous that others don't have to hide their relationships in front of everyone else, she started throwing all her books into her locker. It was not until she closed it that she realised a poster of her pasted on her locker door.

"Kitty-Kitty Prom Prom" Below that was a picture of her head photo-shopped onto Olivia Munn.

"Hope you liked your posters, Kitty, the Cheerios worked really hard on them."

Kitty turned around to find herself staring straight into Bree's grinning face.

"What are you doing?"

" I was so psyched that a fellow Cheerio was nominated for Prom Queen. And then I heard that you weren't going to campaign for it, and instead you were throwing your support to that Asian girl from Glee Club because you thought it was 'her turn'. Now, if that's true, you might want to tie yourself down, because this is gonna be a rough ride. I just wanted to remind you that a Cheerio has not won Prom Queen for several years now. We've had Prom Queens from Glee Club, including the Jewish girl and a gay dude. And if we're not careful, I swear to God we're gonna have a black transsexual named Unique as Prom Queen before we have a Cheerio as Prom Queen.
Now, I know you're thinking to yourself: But
O.
M.
G.
Bree, I love the Asian girl from Glee Club. Well, punch yourself in the face so I don't have to."

"Don't talk to Kitty like that!" Artie wheeled in, coming in between Kitty and the talking machine gun.

"Who the hell is this? You have a cripple for a boyfriend, Kitty?"

"He's just a friend, and Bree, I appreciate the help, but I'm not going to campaign." From the corner of her eye, she could see Artie die a little inside. But there was nothing she could do. Bree was like the alpha bitch now, and in the everyone's eyes, she'll always be second to Bree in that category. Whore, thought Kitty, what I'd do to stick a pencil up her overly big ears.

"You have 51 weeks out of the year to love your sisters from Glee Club, and this week is not, I repeat, not one of them. This week is about winning Prom Queen for the Cheerios, and that's not gonna happen if you're off campaigning for Kimchi Cohen-Barf or whoever."

"Bree,"

"Are you an idiot, Kitty? That's not a rhetorical question. I literally want you to tell me if you're mentally slow, so I can be sure you're not nominated for future prom courts."

"Kitty!" Tina rushed to Kitty's side holding up a Kitty-Kitty Prom-Prom poster. "This is unbelievable."

"Unbelievable," echoed Dottie, following up behind Tina, looking around at the posters, plastered on the school lockers.

Bree moved in closer to Kitty, whispering in her ear, "Let's each take an Asian, shall we? Dottie!" Suddenly more excited than anything else, " let's talk for awhile, shall we?"

"You... you know my name?" gasped Dottie, flustered for words as she gingerly followed Bree away.

"I thought you said you weren't campaigning!" Tina's rage was undeniable, but her doubt was clear as day. No way Kitty would have photoshopped herself onto someone else. She's too proud for that.

"Look, Tina, this isn't made by me."

"Then, who?"

"Bree did it," Artie said, still looking sad as ever.

"I didn't lie when I said I'm behind you hundred percent," assured Kitty, "this is your senior year, I'm not going to stand in your way."

Tina must have sensed the sincerity in Kitty's voice as all she did was take a step back and chuckle. Her uptight and apprehensive behaviour gone with the wind. She had never seen Kitty so nice before. It's an amazing transformation from the Kitty they first met. She opened her arms for a hug and Kitty jumped into her arms.

"Let's sing a song together, okay? Beatles week." Kitty nodded.

Glee

Tina
You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world

Kitty
You tell me that it's evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world

Tina and Kitty pranced around the choir room, rocking on the tune of Revolution while every watches with awe.

Tina
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We're doing what we can

The next thing they knew, the whole Glee club was pasting up posters to support Tina Cohen-Chang. Kitty saw the removal of every Kitty Kitty Prom Prom poster herself, tearing each one of them down with howling delight.

"Wow, the school's really littered with your face," Finn commented, putting an arm around Tina.

Tina leaned her head onto Finn's chest. God, he's tall. "You don't have to go with me, you know. I was kind of pushy."

"Yeah, you reminded me of Rachel for a while."

Tina immediately backed away, distancing herself from Finn. "Oh, god no."

Chuckling, Finn said, "Don't worry, I'll go with you. I mean, what's the worst that can happen?"

Glee

Pushing past everyone standing in her way, Tina crashed through the gym door, soaking wet and horribly embarrassed. Her one amazing night ruined. Red dye covered her whole body, ice stuck in uncomfortable places. This was the worst day of her life. She dragged herself into the choir room, leaving behind a trial of red. Tina slumped into a chair, hitting the Prom Queen's tiara off her head so violently it landed halfway across the room.

"Tina!" Finn walked into the room, the rest of New Directions behind him.

"Leave. Me. Alone." Tina struggled for words under her heavy chocking. Tears flowed uncontrollably from her eyes as she tried to make them go away. But her whole body was soaked red and she couldn't do anything to get the tears out of her eyes.

"We need to get you out of those wet clothes and into something dry."

"Just leave me like this!" Tina raised her voice, drowning out the sobs coming out from her own mouth. But every word was a struggle with her throat clenched shut, "I swear, I just thought for one lousy night of my life, I could be that girl."

Tina carelessly stood up, ploughed through the Glee club and headed for the door. "But who am I kidding? I'm not that girl, and I will never be that girl!"

Sam, who was at the back of the pack, grabbed her arm. "Tina, where are you going?"

"I'm going home, Sam!" Almost crying out the words like a river. Tears started streaming down her face again, mixing with the red dye to turn her whole face into a waterfall.

Sam loosened his grip on Tina and Tina broke free. She couldn't stand the looks of pity on her friend's face, or the hysterical laughter from everyone in the gym at her expense. Before she even took a step, however, another hand grabbed her shoulder.

"This is your prom, Queen T," Blaine said, the first words he ever spoke in a week. "From what I can see you have two choices, and whichever one you pick, we will be supportive."

"Blaine..."

"We can either drive you home, or we can clean you up, and you can go back out there and own that prom." Blaine had both arms on her shoulders, shaking her, as if to wake her up from a horrible nightmare.

"You can wear my dress." Kitty offered, stepping out towards Tina.

"Or Mine." Marley and Unique stated together.

"You can have mine too," Sugar took a step towards Tina, "But I'd rather you take Kitty's."

Tina looked at them and couldn't shake off her happiness. She had never knew that they cared for her that much. But they were family after all.

As the girls took Tina to the back of the room to clean her up and get her changed, Blaine walked to wards the piano.

"What are you doing?" Ryder asked, eyeing Blaine suspiciously.

"Tina's favourite Beatles song." He looked up to give Ryder a sad smile. And then he laid his fingers on the piano and sung.

Blaine
Hey Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better

The members of New Directions stared at Blaine for a moment, before joining in.

Blaine and Kitty
Hey Jude, don't be afraid
You were made to go out and get her
The minute you let her under your skin
Then you begin to make it better

Finn
And anytime you feel the pain
Hey Jude, refrain
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

Tina smiled as she got up, clean and dry. She turned around to see Kitty holding up her pink dress.

"Wear it, you'll look beautiful."

Tina hugged Kitty, squeezing her tight.

"Your dress is still wet."

"Sorry."

Tina wiped the tears from her eyes and changed out of her dress, putting on Kitty's light fluffy pink one. The New Directions followed her out the door, staying behind her as she walked back to the gym, all of them still humming and singing along to the tune of her favourite song.

Tina and Sam
So let it out and let it in,
Hey Jude, begin
You're waiting for someone to perform with
And don't you know that it's just you,
Hey Jude, you'll do
The movement you need is on your shoulder

Blaine and Sam slammed the door open, giving way to Tina. Everyone parted to let her through to the stage, staring at the no-dry her. No red dye visible. Looking on as the New Directions cheered on behind her, screaming out the rest of the lyrics of Hey Jude as she climbed up the steps and onto the stage. As New Directions finished their song, the whole gym fell silent.

Tina slowly picked up the bucket and lifted it high into the air. "I'm Tina-Cohen Chang, and I accept your crown! Long live Prom!"

With that the music blasted back on and everyone cheered. Everyone except Bree, who just walked away, unenthusiastically clapping her hands.

Glee

Tina
When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

Kitty
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

Tina and Artie
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

The whole Glee Club walked onto stage, except Joe who was at Bible Study, signing melodiously to the song, swaying side to side, smiling and giggling at each other. Mr. Schue and Finn watched from the seats of the auditorium, with pride on their face.

Artie
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be, hee!
