Here's part two! Hope you guys like it!
02: Hold On To Sixteen
Here's what you missed on glee:
Michelle Brooke joined the Glee club, but everyone's confused why she did because her other friends, besides Rory are in the Troubletones. So that's what you missed, on
GLEE
All you do is let me down
"Hey Mickey wait up!" Santana said, running over to Mickey. "Oh hey San. What's up?" Mickey asked, smiling as they walked to the cafeteria. "I heard that you joined the New Directions." Santana said, watching Mickey's reaction. "Yeah. What about it?" Mickey said, moving a strand of hair out of her face. "Why?" Santana asked. Mickey shrugged. "Just because I can." Mickey said, getting some stuff from the salad bar. "Mickey, why didn't you join the Troubletones?" Santana demanded. "San, does that really matter?" Mickey asked, rolling her eyes. "Yes it does Mickey! It makes a huge difference! It makes them that much stronger!" Santana said. "What do you mean?" Mickey asked. "Sectionals is this Saturday. The Troubletones are in it against the New Directions, and another group called the Unitards, or something." Santana said.
You pick me up and drag me around like a rag doll
"The Unitards?" Mickey asked, raising an eyebrow. "I don't know. Anyway, Mickey! How can you join the New Directions?" Santana asked as they made their way to a table. "Santana. I can join whatever group I choose to. I just ended up choosing the New Directions over the Troubletones." Mickey said, shrugging while taking a bite of her salad. "Well I just hope that you made the right decision about your friends." Santana said bitterly, taking a bite of her food. Mickey looked at Santana and she snorted. "I hope so too."
I sew myself together again
After their Spanish class, Mickey and Rory walked to Glee, and she was telling him about the conversation that she and Santana had earlier. "She really said all of that to you?" Rory asked. "Yeah. Sometimes I wonder why we're even friends. She's said allot of bad things to me and they make me feel bad." Mickey said as they walked into the choir room. "Hey don't worry about it, I'm sure that it'll get better." Rory said, smiling at Mickey. Mickey smiled back, then went to sit by Tina and Mike, catching some of their conversation.
But for some reason I can't help myself
"Are we sure yet which band members are joining us?" Artie asked. Puck, biting a toothpick, looked over at three of the band members. "Looks like, uh floppy haired-bass-dude, Chapped lips McGee and Johnny Tromboner." He said, sending a frown back to the others. "God we're screwed." Tina said with a sigh. Mickey put her hand on Tina's shoulder and smiled weakly. "No we're not. I know for a fact that we're winning." Quinn said, sending a smirk towards Puck. "Great news everybody. Sectionals is going to be a challenge, but we have a secret weapon-"
"Mr. Shue? We all appreciate your supply of affirmations, but all the sparkling cider in the world can't deny that the fact that the Titanic has hit the iceberg, and now we're on a sinking ship." Kurt said, cutting Mr. Shue off. "Not if I can help it." A boy said walking in. "Sam!" Mike exclaimed, tripping over his own chair as the others shouted happily. Mike ran over to him and hugged him and Tina hugged him, laughing. He high-fived Puck and Quinn hugged him saying "Come here!" The boy, who Mickey took note that his name is Sam, smiled at everyone. "I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Finn and Rachel. I sort of, uh, lost my way, but, true friends help you find your way back." Sam said, a huge smile on his face. "Aww, let's hear it for Sam Evans!" Finn shouted, popping the top off of the bottle of apple cider. "Alright, enough of this sentimental stuff. It's time to get a little country back in this joint." Sam said as Finn started pouring the cider into red solo cups. Sam started playing the guitar he held and started singing "Red Solo Cup" by Toby Keith.
As Sam sang, Mickey found herself laughing and singing along with everyone else. She giggled as Artie was launched into a miniature pyramid of red cups and danced with Tina and Quinn, echoing the lyrics with them. Everyone was cheering by the time Sam finished the sang and Santana walked in, a big smile on her face. "I just heard the news that Trouty Mouth is back in town. I've been keeping a notebook, just in case this day ever came. Welcome back Lisa Rena. I've missed you so much, ever since your family packed their bags, loaded them in your mouth and skipped town. I can't tell you how many times I wanted to enjoy a crisp pickle, but couldn't find anyone to suck the lid off the jar. I assume you've been working as a baby polisher, where young mothers place their infants' heads, in your mouth to get back that newborn shine. So glad you're back, I haven't seen a smile that big since the clay-mation abominable snowman got his teeth pulled, by that little gay elf dentist. Love Santana." Santana said, smiling. Sam just smiled. "I missed you too Santana." He said, hugging Santana.
No I just can't help myself
After glee, Finn took Rory and Mickey to introduce them to Sam. "Hey Sam! I wanted to introduce you to our two members of Glee that joined this year. This is the exchange student, Rory Flanagan, and that's Michelle Brooke." Finn said. Rory shook Sam's hand smiling. Sam turned to shake Mickey's hand and she smiled at him. "Call me Mickey. I remember seeing you last year Sam. We finally meet." She said. Sam smiled. "Yeah I remember you."
We've been through this too many times
After school, Mickey, Tina and Quinn met in the auditorium to brainstorm some ideas for Sectionals. "Okay, what do you guys think about Janet Jackson?" Tina asked. "Yeah! I love her music." Mickey said, smiling. "Okay. The guys are working now. What should we do for the rest of practice?" Quinn asked. "I dunno." Mickey said, shrugging before she laid back on the stage, closing her eyes. "Hey Mickey, I was wondering, why didn't you sing a song when you joined?" Quinn asked. "Yeah, I was wondering why too." Tina said. Mickey sighed slowly, and then she sat up and opened her eyes. "Well, I was talking to Mr. Shue about something personal. I…was starting to cry and he…he offered to me if I wanted to join Glee club. He said that it's like a family, and that I would be accepted. He said that I didn't have to tell you guys about it yet, that eventually, I could when I get more comfortable around you guys. He said that I don't have to sing an audition song right away also." Mickey said, pulling her knees into her chest and hugging them. Tina smiled and hugged Mickey. "Aw, it's fine with us! We can wait." Tina said, smiling.
Mickey smiled at Tina and hugged her back. "Yeah, it's fine with us. I have always been curious though. Ever since we met, I've wondered if you can sing." Quinn said, sitting by Mickey. Mickey smiled. "Well…I could sing something for you two…" She said shyly. Tina grinned. "Please? I really want to hear you sing too!" She said cheerfully. Mickey laughed. "Okay. Tina, do you think that you can play piano during it?" Mickey asked. "Okay, sure. Is it really simple?" Tina asked. "Yeah, I think that you'd be able to guess them just by hearing the lyrics." Mickey said smiling. Quinn sat by Tina at the piano and Mickey started singing.
"We all fall
Sometimes
We all let ourselves down
Sometimes there's nothing left but to live with what's been done
And know you're not the only one
Who falls…"
After Mickey sang the first verse, Tina started playing the piano and Mickey continued singing.
"We all fail
Sometimes
We all let someone down
Sometimes there's thing left but to promise to ourselves
That next time we won't be the one
To fail
I want to tell you you can go on,
That beginnings come from ends,
I still believe in you…"
Mickey suddenly stopped singing, and Quinn and Tina looked at her in surprise. "Are you okay?" They asked, seeing that her expression had suddenly changed and that her eyes were wide. Mickey saw that they were looking at her and quickly looked away. "Y-Yeah, I'm fine. Sorry about that." Mickey said, smiling at the girls. "Okay, are you sure?" Tina asked, concern clear on her face. "Yeah, I'm fine, I promise. What did you guys think?" Mickey said, smiling. "You sounded good, you sound like you're a soprano. Kind of like a higher pitched version of Santana." Quinn said, smirking. "Wow, really? I had no idea that I sounded like that." Mickey said, smiling. "Can I tell you guys something?" she added. "Yeah, what is it?" Tina asked. Mickey took a deep breath. "This is my secret, so until I tell the rest of Glee club, could you please try to keep it to yourselves?" Mickey asked. "Yeah, what is it?" Quinn asked. Mickey took a deep breath.
Why can't you just make up your mind?
After Glee practice, Mickey was walking to her car and Rory rushed over to her. "Hey Mickey! Can I catch a ride?" He asked. "Sure Rory!" Mickey said, smiling. They got in her car and as it was warming up, Rory looked at Mickey, who was tying her hair back in a tiny ponytail. "Hey Mickey, are you okay? You weren't acting like yourself today." Rory said. "Huh? I'm fine Rory, I swear." Mickey said. "Mickey, I can tell when you're lying to me." Rory said, looking at Mickey with a serious look on his face. Mickey bit her lip. "I-I don't know what you're talking about." Mickey said, looking away as she pulled the car out of the parking lot. Rory sighed. "Look Mickey. You don't have to hide things from me. We're friends, aren't we?" Rory asked. "O-Of course we are!" Mickey said, looking at Rory, then back at the road.
"Then talk to me Mickey. Please." Rory begged, watching Mickey's expression. Mickey bit her lip once more, then sighed, pulling the car to a stop and she turned to Rory. "Alright. I'll tell you, but you have to promise not to tell anyone what I tell you, okay? This is really private for me." Mickey said. "I promise that I won't."
I know exactly how this will end but for some reason I can't help myself.
It's the day of sectionals, and everyone is in the choir room getting ready. Mickey was standing by the piano with the others, warming up. "Okay guys; let's take a few moments to gather our thoughts. Troubletones are on in five." Mr. Shue said, smiling at everyone. Mickey sighed and Quinn smiled at her. "Nervous?" She asked. "No, I'm just excited." Mickey said, smiling. Quinn smiled and then she watched as Rory walked up to Mickey, and was about to tell her something, but was cut off by the Troubletones walking in.
"Hello Will." Shelby said, smiling, leading the girls. Mr. Shue looked at them "Looking good ladies." He said. "We just wanted to say, may the best glee club win." Shelby said. "Yes, and just case that glee club is us, I asked Miss Corcoran to consider a contingency plan." Santana said. "Yes, in the event of a New Directions loss, Troubletones has voted to allow any of you to join us at Regionals." Shelby said, smiling. "Your welcome." Sugar said, twirling back and forth. "Excuse me?" Mr. Shue asked. "That is incredibly rude Santana." Finn added. "Were being nice. It would be rude if I followed you around and every time you took a step, I played a note on a tuba." Santana said.
"Thank you for the offer, Miss Corcoran, but right now we're gonna concentrate on winning this thing." Mr. Shue said, stepping forward. "And we will be winning Shelby. We got it in the bag. Puck here is gonna come through for us. He's such a shining star, in every conceivable way, don't you think?" Quinn asked, smirking. Miss Corcoran's expression faltered, and Santana looked at her curiously, and she smiled. "Good luck everybody. See you on the ice."
As the glee club made their way to the auditorium, Tina, Mickey, Sam and Rory were walking together. "I wonder what Quinn meant by that." Mickey said. "Oh, she's trying to get Beth back from Shelby." Sam said. "What? Why?" Tina asked. "I dunno. She said that she wants to be a mom again." Sam said. "Wow. I can't believe that she's trying that." Mickey said as they sat in their seats. The Emcee announced the judges and the Unitards.
Mickey bobbed her head along with the music and noticed Rachel and Kurt mouthing the words along with the singer. After the performance, Quinn left and Rachel followed. "What do you think is going to happen?" Rory asked. Mickey shrugged. "Most likely, she won't end up doing whatever she's planning on doing. She tends to do that." Mickey said. Rory looked at Mickey. "Are you doing okay since you told me that?" Rory asked. "Huh? I'm fine!" Mickey said, as the announcer introduced the Troubletones. Santana started singing and Mickey got a huge smile on her face. She danced in her seat and when the song ended, she stood up and cheered.
The New Directions went on stage. Mickey danced near Rory and then switched to dancing close to Quinn and Tina. When Sam had his dance solo, Mickey almost started laughing, but she kept singing for her sake. As they started their next song, Mickey felt thoughts running through her head. The music started, and she danced along with everyone else. She felt the music in her soul and let the music guide her while she danced. "My second favorite Janet Jackson song…I can dance to this…" She thought. She danced, moving herself with the music, and before she knew it, the song ended. Man in the Mirror started and Mickey stood by Rory in the darkness, who sent a smile towards her as everyone started snapping along. They turned around and posed as they waited, and when the stage lights turned on, they danced and sang along.
After the performance, everyone ran in the choir room, cheering. Mickey hugged Rory, laughing, then hugged Tina and Quinn. Mickey hugged Sam and Artie, and anyone else who was in her line of sight, and she was laughing while doing so. "We were awesome out there!" She said happily to Artie, who smiled at her and agreed.
All of the groups stood together on stage as they waited for them to say the winner. Mickey stood between Quinn and Tina, holding their hands. After the Unitards got third, they moved closer to the Troubletones and Mickey smiled at Brittany and Santana, who returned the smile. As soon as the guy said the New Directions got in first, everyone cheered and Mickey hugged Quinn and Tina and Rory ran over to her and they hugged as they cheered. They ran forward and everyone cheered. Mickey put her hands on Rory's cheeks and kissed him, full on the lips. They looked at each other in shock, before they were ushered out by the rest of the club,
No I just can't help myself.
The Monday after, Rory and Mickey were walking. "So…what was the kiss on Saturday for?" Rory asked. "S-Sorry, I was caught in the m-moment a-and I couldn't resist." Mickey stammered, a red blush on her face. Rory laughed and hugged Mickey. "It's okay, I didn't mind." He muttered. Mickey looked at his face, her face burning red. "So, what now?" She asked, pulling away from him. "I dunno…do you want to go out sometime? Like to eat or to a movie?" He asked quietly. Mickey smiled. "Sure." She said, chuckling. "Come on, the others are meeting in the auditorium." Mickey said, grabbing Rory's hand as they walked down the hallway.
In the auditorium, they sat around, as the music started. Rachel sang and danced. As Finn joined in, Mickey smiled and looked at Rory, who smiled back at her. As the rest of the glee club joined in, Mickey stood and Rory grabbed her hand, looking at her as he sang, and she sang back to him. The mixed in with the rest of the group and Mickey smiled as she saw Sugar, Mercedes, Santana and Brittany walk into the Auditorium. They started singing along, and everybody waved to them, and sang back to them. Rory, Quinn and Artie walked over to the girls and brought Brittany, Mercedes and Sugar to the rest of the group. Santana sang a solo line, and Rachel walked over to her, bringing her to the rest of the others. Everyone formed a group hug, and Mickey walked over to Rory as the song ended and Mr. Shue walked in and smiled at everyone together. Mickey hugged Rory, who kissed her head.
Okay, next chapter is going to take place in the Yes/No episode, because I don't really feel like writing about their Christmas So expect the third chapter up soon! Here's a little preview:
"Hey Mickey, have to told the other glee members your secret yet?" Rory asked, watching Mickey open her locker. "No." She said shortly. "Why not?" He asked. "Because Rory, I don't want them to know yet. I'm waiting for the right time. "When will that be? You keep saying that, but it never comes, does it?" Rory asked. "Just enough! I'll tell them soon." Mickey said, walking away.
