Chapter Two
I Saw The Sign And It Opened Up My Mind. And I Am Happy Now Living Without You
("The Sign" by Ace of Base)
Sugar opened the door to her house and skipped through the corridor
"Hey Pumpkin" Al Motta said as he watched his daughter skip into the room
"Hey Daddy!" Sugar grinned
"You're alot happier than the other day" Al smiled as he hugged his daughter
"Yeah, I found a way of how to save the glee club!" Sugar said excitedly
"Oh really?" Al looked at his daughter confused
"I'm starting a new write-in choir and getting the others from the New Directions to join me"
"Do you think that's a good idea darling?" Al asked worriedly
"Yeah, it's perfectly legal according to the show choir rule book"
"Well..."
"Look Daddy, you have no leg to stand on, remember your "family" in New York?" Sugar smirked
"You're such a crafty girl. I'm so proud" Al said hugging his daughter and kissing her lightly on the forehead
"Thanks Daddy," The young girl smiled before skipping off to her room, she pulled the registration form out from her bag and placed it on her desk where she filled under the name section "Vocal Perfection"
glee
"Good morning Principal Figgins" Sugar smiled as she strode into his office wearing a very non-Sugar like outfit, a white ruffled blouse, a grey pencil skirt and a pair of sensible heels.
"Good morning Miss Motta" Figgins smiled
"I have a proposition for you" She smiled as she took a seat
"Alright" The principal said half listening
"I would like to start a write-in show choir at McKinley"
"I'm sorry Miss Motta but the budget for the glee club was given to Coach Sylvester and her Cheerios"
"Money is not an issue" Sugar's smile slowly fading
"Well Coach Sylvester and The Cheerios own the choir room now"
"We can practise in the auditorium" Sugar said starting to become seriously frustrated by the small, balding man before her
"No you can't beca-"
"YES WE CAN!" Sugar roared losing her cool "A couple of years back a woman called April Rhodes bought the auditorium exclusively for glee club practise! Sue cannot rent or book it at all!"
"How did you know about that?" The man said shocked
"Because A. The auditorium is called The April Rhodes Civic Pavillion. B. Santana, Tina and Artie all reminded Finn of that when Sue booked it out so we couldn't rehearse Grease"
"Well I'm sorry Miss Motta bu-"
"Look here Figgins" Sugar said viciously "Either you sign this form OR I can get my daddy, the don of the Ohio Mafia, and his "family" to come and have a little chat with you" Sugar grinned maliciously at the small, cowering man in front of her as he signed the paper. "Pleasure doing business with you" She grinned before breezing out of his office. Her heels clicking echoed through the empty, early morning hallways of McKinley.
glee
'I hope this doesn't turn into the New Directions...' Tina thought as she walked into the school and through its empty hallways 'I mean I should get the solo cause I'm a Senior... But Sugar's put so much effort into this club...' She stopped at her locker quickly before continuing to the auditorium 'But she's a Junior... She'll get her turn next year...' Tina reassured herself as she entered the auditorium '...Or maybe she'll be like me and won't'
"FINALLY, that's everyone" Sugar said exasperatedly as Tina got closer to the stage breaking her train of thought
"What are you talking about Executive Barbie?" Tina raised her eyebrow at Sugar's words, and attire "Blaine and Marley aren't here"
"Yeah.. They quit" Sugar said shamefaced
"What?" Tina said shocked
"Well, you know that email Finn sent to all of us?" Jake said
"Yeah..."
"Well Marley responded and she's back with the New Directions." Jake sighed
"Along with Kitty" Unique rolled her eyes
"And the couple that look like they're related" Sugar sighed
"Who?" A confused Tina looked at the young girl
"Brittany and Sam" Sugar shrugged
"Speaking of Sam" Artie said "He's the reason that Blaine quit, Sam thinks The Warbler's cheated by taking performance enhancers"
"Wait... That's cheating?" Unique asked
"Yeah" The rest of the group looked at her confused
"Oh... Someone best tell the committee about Vocal Adrenaline then..."
"Anyway" Artie said "Blaine is helping Sam so the New Directions are reinstated"
"Meaning they've got five members" Joe sighed
"But that means we've only got to find five more" Tina grinned, this was her chance to be like Berry "Look I know it may seem bad now but just wait, there's people in this school that will join us we just gotta let them know we're here"
"If you propose a boys number and girls number I will honestly leave" Ryder sighed
"I WAS thinking of doing a big group number..." Tina smirked "But thank you Ryder you've given us our first competition, boys versus girls. Each team performs a number it can be old, new, from a musical or even a mashup. The team that brings more people in wins"
"I'm in" Jake smiled
"Same" Sugar grinned wide
"Okay here are the rules. Only ONE performance. Both boys' and girls' numbers will happen today at lunch. One in the courtyard, the other in the cafeteria."
"Girls call dibs on the courtyard" Unique called, the group laughed
"This is gonna be great" Joe smiled
"Okay, now I call this meeting of the now OFFICIAL Vocal Perfection closed" Sugar grinned
"Wait you mean...?" Ryder smiled
"We are registered as an official write-in glee club, I emailed the signed form to the committee this morning. They just replied confirming our status and I will receive a letter about our Sectionals by Friday" Sugar grinned
"Go Sugar" Tina grinned as she hugged Sugar, the rest of the group followed suit. Marley watched from the back of the auditorium, hurt because Jake chose Vocal Perfection over her and that they may actually have a chance of winning their Sectionals and even Regionals
glee
"Hey Jakey" Marley smiled as she approached him at his locker
"Oh hey Marley" Jake smiled kissing her gently on her cheek
"Look, I'm sorry about last night. I shouldn't have been such a bitch" Marley looked at him sadly. Sugar saw this exchange from her locker
'Stay strong Jake. We need you' She thought desperately
"No it's fine. We're different and we have different opinions" Jake grinned
"So you're not gonna come back to the New Directions?" Marley said almost dumbfounded by his idiocy
"Well... No. I like being in Vocal Perfection." Jake shrugged
"So even if we get the glee club back you're not gonna return?" Marley started to get annoyed
"Marley New Directions is over" Jake sighed
"And guess what. So are we!" Marley said losing her cool and running off
"Great." Jake murmured
"Hey" Sugar said, even the clicks from her high heels sounded sorry for Jake
"I guess you saw everything..." Jake shook his head remorsefully
"Yeah, I'm really sorry. But don't worry she'll come round" Sugar smiled "I promise"
"How would you know?" Jake spat
"None taken." Sugar said sarcastically "I know cause I'm the same gender as her and I know how girls work"
"Okay then... I'm sorry for snapping"
"Don't worry I get it all the time..." Sugar smiled before walking off
glee
"Alright ladies" Unique grinned at Sugar and Tina "Time to shine" she smiled as she walked up onto the large concrete steps in the courtyard and the opening tune to "Bounce" by Calvin Harris and Kelis started up
Unique
Bounce, bounce, bounce
Bounce
Tina (Unique)
(Bounce) I had a way then losing it all on my own (bounce)
(Bounce) I had a heart then but the queen has been overthrown (bounce)
When the weekend comes I know I'll feel alive (bounce)
You will be the last thing on my mind (bounce)
No regrets, do you know what that means?
Sugar with Vocal Perfection Girls
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they're gone
Tina with Vocal Perfection
'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
Calling, calling, calling home
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone
Home
Sugar
Bounce, bounce, bounce
Unique
It's hot, it's now, it's when
We bounce to this track
And I don't care what anybody thinks about that
And I don't care what anybody thinks about that
Unique with Vocal Perfection Girls
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they're gone
Tina (Vocal Perfection Girls)
(Home, home)
Lights, lights, lights, lights
Lights, lights, lights, lights
(Home, home)
Lights, lights, lights, lights
Lights, lights, lights, lights
They girl struck their final poses and they crowd cheered for them, but only one person came rushing up to them to talk about glee club. A boy... a British boy.
glee
"Okay are we ready?" Artie smiled nervously
"Not at all..." Jake sighed "But we can definitely beat the girls"
"Damn right we can" Ryder grinned as he pressed play on the boombox
Artie (Vocal Perfection Boys)
Have you seen that girl
Have you seen her?
She's the freakiest thing
You gotta need her
You'll do whatever it takes to get her by your side (Whoa oh)

In a photograph
But all the boys, they crowd around
