Author's Note: I know I changed the color of the hair, but it's so it fits.

The 13 teenagers filed their way into the courtyard, where they knew Ryder was. He was always there during glee club rehearsal since he quit. The dirty blonde haired young man was sitting there with a book. The members arranged themselves on the bleachers and pressed play before Ryder turned around and saw them standing there. Jake was leading them in a dance number to the song Valerie. Ryder found himself watching their choreography out of the corner of his eye and mindlessly singing along to it. Jake noticed this and ventured himself off from the group as he continued to sing. "Cause since I've come on home well my body's been a mess. And I miss your blonde-ish hair and the way you like to dress. Won't you come on over? Stop making a fool out of me. Why don't you come on over Valerie?" Ryder smirked as the young man approached. He sang out in a loud voice "Did you have to go to jail? Put your house all up for sale? Did you get a good lawyer?" The two's voices synched up "I hope you didn't catch a tan. I hope you find the right man who'll fix it for you." Jake sang "Are you shopping anywhere? Change the color of your of your hair? Are you busy?" The two synched up once more as he led Ryder by the hand back to the group. "Did you have to pay that fine that you've been dodging all the time? Are you still busy?" Jake sang as he led Ryder back onto the bleacher with the other members of the glee club. "Since I've come on home well my body's been a mess, and I miss your blonde-ish hair and the way you like to dress. Won't you come on over? Stop making a fool out of me. I said why don't you come on over Valerie?" Ryder joined in with Jake at the front of the choreography and continued to sing "Well sometimes I go out by myself and I look out across the water, and I think of all the things you're doing and in my head I paint a picture." The two led for the final verse "Since I've come on home well my body's been a mess, and I miss your blonde-ish hair and the way you like to dress. Won't you come on over? Stop making a fool out of me. I said why don't you come on over Valerie?" As the music faded out the members of the group smiled. Jake was the first to break the happy silence with words "So Ryder, what do you say? Will you rejoin glee club with us?" Ryder chirped "As long as there's more duets for us in store."
