Hello GleekAnderson here! I hope you enjoyed GleekPierceLopez's episode last week! I will be your author for the next four episodes. I am so sorry for the late update; we were having problems with our account. PURPLE PIANO PROJECT WAS AWESOME! I really liked it! If it isn't obvious yet, I'm a huge klaine fan! I'm still freaking out about Blaine's transfer and his amazing entrance! And I am Unicorn was so dramatic! That ending killed me! I sat shocked in my seat for five minutes! It is going to be so hard to not use anything from the real glee episodes! Anyways this is an episode all about dance! I know they kind of covered it in born this way but it was forgotten after Rachel broke her nose and they covered it in I am Unicorn but technically this was suppose to come out first so this is not copying! Just to make everything clear, now when I am referring to Lauren, I am referring to Lauren Cissa the new character. I know it may get confusing because of Lauren Zizes but she is gone so hopefully you get use to this. I really hope you enjoy! The angst starts in this chapter!
The New Directions sat, chatting away as Mr. Schue entered the room. Half the room sat debating their love for Katy Perry and Lady Gaga while the other half were around the piano listening to an attempt at an original song. Mr. Schue called them to attention and they sat down quickly.
"Hey guys." said Mr. Schue. The club mumbled greetings. "Wait, where's Artie?"
"He's sick. He will probably be gone all week." said Brittany. Mr. Schue nodded.
So, I'm sorry we didn't have an assignment last week but I have a great one for this week. Dance." Mike and Brittany yelped loudly. The rest of the club looked around with varying levels of excitement. "Our vocals in this group are phenomenal but we still have some problems with dancing. If we want to be as good Vocal Adrenaline then we're going have to step up the dancing." The club nodded. "So, Mike Chang and Brittany S. Pierce will be giving you some short dance lessons. Then you will split up into two groups, boys and girls and choreograph a dance number. Now this is a competition. The winning team will get to choose next week's assignment." Everyone clapped happily. Mr. Schue dismissed them and they all went into their groups to talk strategy. Mr. Schue smiled. He hadn't even had to tell Kurt to switch teams.
"And 5, 6, 7, 8"
So we back in the club
Get that bodies rockin from side to side (side to side)
Thank God the week is done
I feel like a zombie gone back to life (back to life)
Hands up, and suddenly we all got our hands up
No control of my body
Ain't I seen you before?
I think I remember those eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes
Cause baby tonight, the DJ got us falling in love again
Yeah, baby tonight, the DJ got us falling in love again
So dance, dance, like it's the last, last night of your life, life
Gonna get you right
Cause baby tonight, the DJ got us falling in love again
The music ended as well as the choreography. The Glee Club clapped while catching their breath. They were in the dance studio running a number that Mike and Brittany had come up with and it was quiet challenging. The choreographers congratulated the group then called the end of rehearsals. The Glee Club all dispersed, grabbing bags and such. Sunshine walked up to Brittany and Mike who were going through some moves that needed changing.
"You guys are awesome dancers! In Vocal Adrenaline, we had a professional choreographer but none of his numbers were as good as this. We are definitely boosting our already high chances of winning." The duo grinned at the younger Asian. Brittany walked away murmuring something about rainbows. Mike stayed though and made no move to leave. "You're not going to class?" asked Sunshine. She really liked Mike. He was a great person and he had stood up for her when Rachel had sent her to that crack house. He was also quite good looking and Sunshine was jealous of Tina's luck.
"No I need some time to think." answered Mike.
"About what?" she asked looking concerned.
"It's nothing of your concern. I'm not ready to talk about yet anyways. Can you leave Sunshine please?" the request hurt but she stood tall and walked out of the dance studio. Two things crossed her mid as she left. First, she had to find out what was going on with Mike and help him. Second, she needed to find a way to break up the happy couple that was Chang-Chang.
Lauren walked into the school library. She was unaccompanied by Jack which felt weird. She was usually accompanied by him everywhere but he was now in rehearsals with the boys. She shrugged the feeling off and found a table to sit at. She opened her agenda to check for homework. Unknown to her, a picture fell out. She took no notice though and pulled out her calculus homework.
"Did you drop this?" asked a voice behind her. She turned around. Quinn Fabray stood holding the picture of her son.
"Yah thanks." she said taking it back.
- "Is he a sibling? Or a cousin?" asked Quinn
"No he's my son actually." said Lauren shyly. Quinn gasped and sat down across from her. "It's weird right?"
"Not at all." said Quinn dreamily. "I have a daughter." Lauren looked up at her surprised. "I gave her up though. The music teacher Mrs. Corcoran is her adoptive mother.
"Have you seen her?" asked Lauren, her homework forgotten.
"No actually. I don't think I could handle seeing Beth. Too many memories." Quinn paused before asking. "What made you keep him?"
"It was never a question from the start. I love Jack and we were totally ready to raise Harry. We actually had him willingly. We've suffered the consequences for our action. But I never regretted a thing." she said smiling at Quinn.
"I regret it so much. It ruined me. It was a drunken moment with a man I didn't love. It ruined the only relationship I cared about. God I screwed up." said Quinn shaking her head. "I always struggled with the concept of keeping her. But when she came, I knew the right choice was to give her away. It showed that I loved her. But not a day goes by that I don't think of her. That I don't miss her." Quinn was sobbing by this point. Lauren walked over to her and pulled her into a hug.
"Everything will work out Quinn. Everything will be okay." And Quinn knew that those words were true even if they didn't seem so now.
Blaine walked to the Auditorium. He and Kurt were meeting there at the end of the day. Life at Mckinley had been more then satisfactory so far. Although he missed the safe halls of Dalton, nothing compared to the family that was the New Directions. Blaine turned to walk into the Auditorium and stopped dead. Someone was on stage, playing with a CD player. Blaine hid in the shadows so as to not disrupt them. The person turned around and he saw that she was one of the triplets. Amy, right? She pressed the play button and a familiar beat resounded through the auditorium. Amy began to dance around the stage and sing at the same time.
I've had a little bit too much
All of the people start to rush.
Start to rush babe.
A dizzy twister dance
Can't find my drink or man.
Where are my keys, I lost my phone.
What's going on on the floor?
I love this record baby, but I can't see straight anymore.
Keep it cool what's the name of this club?
I can't remember but it's alright, alright.
Just dance. Gonna be okay.
Da-doo-doo-doo
Just dance. Spin that record babe.
Da-doo-doo-doo
Just dance. Gonna be okay.
Duh-duh-duh-duh
Dance. Dance. Dance. Just dance.
Amy was dancing really well. She looked almost as good as Mike. Her singing was also quite good. But Blaine also caught a sad note to her singing. She looked distressed. So Blaine decided to act. After all he was the master at being a mentor. I mean he had been Kurt's mentor and look how well that had gone. Yes, that was a different victory because he had gotten a boyfriend out of it. But he still felt the need to help this girl. So he sang.
When I come through on the dance floor checking out that catalogue.
Can't believe my eyes so many women without a flaw.
And I ain't gonna' give it up, steady trying pick it up like a call
I'm gonna hit it, I'm gonna hit it and flex and do it until tomorrow, yeah
Shawty i can see that you got so much energy
The way you twirling up them hips round and round
There's no reason at all why you can't leave here with me
In the meantime stay, let me watch you break it down.
At first Amy had looked stunned and embarrassed. But once Blaine had reached the stage she had smiled a bit and loosened up. She continued her dance moves and beckoned Blaine to follow. He did and grabbed her to lead her in some moves. They were now circling the piano.
Just dance. Gonna be okay.
Da-doo-doo-doo
Just dance. Spin that record babe.
Da-doo-doo-doo
Just dance. Gonna be okay.
Duh-duh-duh-duh
Dance. Dance. Dance. Just dance.
At the end of the song they stood trying to catch their breath. They looked at each other and smiled. They both burst into fits of laughter. Kurt stood watching them from the back of the theatre, his mouth set in a frown. He turned and walked out of the Auditorium.
"So you've never taken a dance class?" asked Blaine bewildered. He sat in front of Amy sharing Redvines while talking.
"Never. I learned from the internet. My parents don't support the arts."
"In the same boat as you sister!"
"Yah. But it's more than that. My parents don't have time for fun. They don't even have time for us. We move constantly. We hardly stay more than a year in once place. They just dump us at random schools, not caring that we have no friends. We all actually stopped making friends. That way, goodbyes were unnecessary." She was staring at a spot on the wall. She lowered her head. "I should go. You don't understand." she got up but Blaine stopped her.
"You think I don't understand? My parents are emergency doctors. I see them at the most, twice a week. They have no time for their son. Also if you haven't noticed, I'm gay. My dad doesn't agree with it. We never talk and if we do, we fight. I've also had to leave behind friends. I transferred because of bullying. I convinced myself not to make friends at Dalton. I'm so happy that I went against myself. I met my two best friends, became the lead of the Warblers and met the love of my life. Don't live life in fear of loss. It's not worth it." he finished. Amy brushed away a tear. He pulled her into a hug. They pulled away and he held out his hand. "So can we be friends?" she took his hand.
"I'd love that."
They exited the Auditorium together and walked through the mostly empty hall ways.
"So buddy" said Amy, punching Blaine's arm playfully. He chuckled and rubbed the spot. "How well do you know the New Directions?"
Pretty well. I was kind of one of them even before I transferred." he laughed. He sure was. Kissing Rachel at her drunken party and then becoming boyfriends of their countertenor really made you part of the close knit family.
"What do you know about Santana Lopez" asked Amy. Blaine narrowed his eyebrows and looked sideways at her.
"Why do you ask?"
"I met her briefly."
"She used to be pretty bitchy. But now she's gotten better. She has an amazing singing voice! Her cover of Valerie should have cost us sectionals. I'm pretty sure that she's single but she's really close to her best friend Brittany." Blaine paused, nudging Amy in the ribs. "Why the questions? You interested?" Amy kicked Blaine in the leg. She ran off.
"Yah right" she yelled. Blaine chuckled and watched her leave
Do you wanna dance and hold my hand?
Tell me baby I'm your lover man
Oh, baby, do you wanna dance?
Do you, do you do you do you wanna dance?
Do you do you do you do you wanna dance?
Do you do you do you do you wanna dance?
Well do you wanna dance under the moonlight?
Squeeze me baby all through the night
Oh baby, do you wanna dance?
The group of teachers smiled and stretched as there dance lesson with Holly Holliday ended. They exited the dance studio slowly, thanking Holly. Holly picked up her bag and made to leave. She stopped however when she saw Emma Pillsbury standing in the doorway.
"Hello Holly. How are you?" asked Emma sweetly.
"Fine," said Holly suspiciously. "What can I do for you?"
"I'm just going to ask you point blank. Do you still have feelings for Will?" Holly was caught off guard. It so happened that she asked the exact same thing to Emma one-year prior.
"I'm dating Dustin." she said sharply.
"I know but that's not what I'm asking." Emma said firmly. Holly sighed.
"Fine I do. What are you going to do about it?"
"Nothing. I just wanted to know," said Emma coyly. And with that she left the room, leaving a confused Holly Holliday behind her.
The boys' performance was first. The girls sat waiting in the auditorium, anticipation in the air. Never had any of the competitions between genders gone smoothly. The first time, everyone had been drugged. The second time, the boys performance had been used as an apology and there was no winner. Mr. Schue walked onto the stage
"Ok welcome everyone to our first dance battle. So boys show us what you got." he clapped his hands together and walked off stage. The lights turned off, and the curtain opened. Mr. Schue took his seat. The spotlight flashed on to show Finn standing in the middle of the stage.
Everybody dance now
The girls all smiled as the song commenced. A second spotlight flashed on and there stood Blaine
Everybody dance now
As the beat continued, spotlights flashed on one by one to reveal the seven other guys. All of them wore black pants with gold or silver jackets. They were all bare chests underneath. Austin took the next lines.
Give me the music
Give me the music
Everybody dance now
They all danced around in moves that Mike lead. They all looked really good, even Finn who would usually be stumbling on steps like these. Puck began to rap.
Here is the dome back with the bass
The jam is live in effect and I don't waste time
Off the mic with a dope rhyme jump to the rhythm
Jump jump to the rhythm jump
And I'm here to combine beats and lyrics
To make you shake your pants take a chance
Come on and dance guys grab a girl don't wait make the twirl
It's your world and I'm just a squirrel
Trying to get a nut to move your butt to the dance floor
So you what's up hands in the air come on say yeah
Everybody over here everybody over there
The crowd is live enough as I pursue this groove
Party people in the house move
Left to right (groove) work me all night
The lights turned off as the guys continued dancing. Their jackets were visible and sparkled. The effect was really cool.
Come on let's sweat (sweat sweat) baby
Let the music take control (control control)
Let the rhythm move you
Sweat (sweat sweat) sweat
Let the music take your soul (soul soul)
Let the rhythm move you
Everybody dance now
The song ended with the spotlights turning off. Getting up, the girls clapped and yelled. The boys walked down from the stage and bowed. They were all sweaty and some of the girls squirmed away when they were pulled into embraces.
- "Great job guys! Those were some awesome moves! You never fail to impress me!" the boys all smiled and bowed again. "Girls you have some competition!" the girls all giggled.
Sunshine walked into the dance room. She knew this is where she would find Mike. Sure enough, he was dancing to "DJ Got Us Falling In Love". She waited for him to notice her. He did and beckoned for her to join him. She did and he twirled her around and led her through some steps. She giggled and tried to follow. The music finished and Mike twirled her around once more so that she was facing him. They panted from the exercise. Sunshine decided to skip the small talk.
"Mike you have to tell me what's going on. I'm not going to rest until I know." he rolled his eyes and walked past her. He started packing his bag but stopped.
"Why do you care so much?" Because I love you, thought Sunshine but she wasn't about to say that now.
"Because us Asians have to stick up for each other. You did so with me and it meant the world. I only want to return the favor." she meant every word. Mike looked like he was battling himself internally. Finally he spoke.
"I got a job offer." he said sighing. Sunshine was caught off guard. She didn't understand the problem.
"Well that's good isn't it? I mean you will be able to-"
"No Sunshine. You don't understand. I got a job offer to be a backup dancer on Ke$ha's tour. It starts in two months." he said sitting down. Sunshine gasped as she understood the problem. He would miss Regionals and Nationals. He would miss a whole year of school.
"Not only will I miss school and everything with Glee Club but it's an international tour. I don't think I could stay that far from Tina." said Mike. This angered Sunshine. That stupid girl was keeping Mike from his dream.
"Mike you have to go. You can't pass an opportunity like this. It might not ever come again."
"Yeah that's what my parents said. I can't abandon the New Directions though. I can't see you guys win Nationals without me." said Mike. Sunshine shook her head.
"You're choosing a stupid show choir over Ke$ha's world tour? Mike, that's insane."
"Look obviously you don't understand but this Glee Club is my family. I can't just drop it like you did." They were both angry at this point. That last comment stung Sunshine. Why didn't Mike understand?
"Mike listen-"
"No you listen!" he yelled. "I love Glee Club with my life. I love Tina with my life. I understand that this is an amazing opportunity. I don't need you telling me what I should do. I get that enough at home." He picked up his bag and walked out the door. Sunshine stood staring after him.
The boys were playing football in the auditorium. They passed the ball back and forth between them as they chatted about one thing or another. Mr. Schue walked in and caught the stray ball from hitting some stage lights. He passed it back to the boys and Blaine caught it.
"Guys," said Mr. Schue "Do I have to tell you again? No footballs in the auditorium!" the boys hung their heads and took a seat. Mr. Schue took a seat.
"Ok girls whenever your ready" the lights flashed off and the stage lights turned on. The girls were all posing. They all wore tight black leather pants and sported a white coat with different colored sparkly bras underneath. Brittany started the song as all the girls started the number around her.
Turn up the music
Let's get out on the floor
I'll let it move it
Come and give me some more
Watch me getting physical and out of control
There's people watching me
I never miss a beat
Steal the night
Kill the lights
Feel it under your skin
Time is right
Keep it tight
'Cause it's pulling you in
Wrap it up
Can't stop 'cause it feels like an overdose
(Feels like an overdose)
Sparks rose from either side as the girls bust funky moves on the stage. The boy's mouths were on the floor by the mere physicality of the number. Also the girls looked super hot. The girls all joined in for the chorus.
Oh, oh, evacuate the dancefloor
Oh, oh, I'm infected by the sound
Oh, oh, stop, this beat is killing me
Hey Mister DJ let the music take me underground
(Everybody in the club!)
Oh, oh, evacuate the dancefloor
Oh, oh, I'm infected by the sound
(Everybody in the club!)
Oh, oh, stop, this beat is killing me
Hey Mister DJ come burn this place right down to the ground
My body's aching
System overload
Temperature's rising
I'm about to explode
Watch me I'm intoxicated
Taking the show
It got me hypnotized
Everybody step aside
Tina finished her part and Quinn took over. The girls jumped off stage and went to find a boy to dance with. Quinn and Astrid stayed on stage and continued to dance.
Oh, oh, evacuate the dancefloor
Oh, oh, I'm infected by the sound
Oh, oh, stop, this beat is killing me
Hey Mister DJ let the music take me underground
(Everybody in the club!)
Oh, oh, evacuate the dancefloor
Oh, oh, I'm infected by the sound
(Everybody in the club!)
Oh, oh, stop, this beat is killing me
Hey Mister DJ come burn this place right down to the ground
The girls all struck a pose back on stage as sparks flew again. Rising to their feet, the boys cheered. The girls all bowed and high fived. The boys looked around, worry etched on their faces.
Mr. Schue walked into the last Glee Club meeting of the week. He held in his hands the name of the winning team. He was proud of his kids. Nothing had gone wrong! The performances had gone smoothly. The Glee Club noticed his presence and all tensed in their seats. He stood in front of them.
"So guys, I have the results. First of all I would like you to congratulate all of you on your wonderful performances. I would like to recognize a couple people as well. A thank you to Mercedes and Kurt for your ingenious outfit making." The pair high fived. "Also, a huge congratulations to Finn for not killing anyone during that dance number." the group laughed. "And last but not least Mike and Brittany for their help and direction. But we still have a winner. And the winners are," the room tensed "The girls!" The girls all yelped in excitement and happily danced. The boys looked defeated but smiled and clapped for their girlfriends, friends, and siblings. "Yes great job girls! So you guys better come up with a good idea for next week's assignment. Ok so we have to start talking Sectionals," started Mr. Schue. Mike put up his hand.
"Actually Mr. Schue we prepared a number that we could use for Sectionals. We would like to show you." Mr. Schue nodded impressed.
"Sure guys! Hit it!"
The New Directions stood in blue jackets and jeans on stage. Puck came forward to start the song.
Me not working hard?
Yeah, right! Picture that with a Kodak
Or, better yet, go to Times Square
Take a picture of me with a Kodak
Took my life from negative to positive
I just want y'all know that
And tonight, let's enjoy life
Santana, Brittany, Tina
That's right
Tonight I want all of you tonight
Give me everything tonight
For all we know we might not get tomorrow
Let's do it tonight
The girls sang the next part as they repeated some moves from their number
Don't care what they say
All the games they play
Nothing is enough
'Til they handle love
I want you tonight,
I want you to stay
I want you tonight
Sam took over the song:
Grab somebody sexy, tell 'em hey
Give me everything tonight
Give me everything tonight
Give me everything tonight
Give me everything tonight
Puck sang again as all the Glee Club danced around him in really physical and complicated moves.
Reach for the stars
And if you don't grab 'em,
At least you'll fall on top of the world
Think about it
Cuz if you slip,
I'm gon' fall on top yo girl (hahaa)
Blaine sang next. All the couples were dancing together now as the others danced around them.
Excuse me
But I might drink a little bit more than I should tonight
And I might take you home with me if I could tonight
And baby imma make you feel so good tonight
Cause we might not get tomorrow
Tonight I want all of you tonight
Give me everything tonight
For all we know, we might not get tomorrow
Let's do it tonight
The dance ended and dancers all struck a pose. Mr. Scue got up and started clapping.
"Now that's how to do a dance number!"
