My Bloody Masquerade Chapter 4: Echo Park Ornithology Club, a glee fanfic

Hello again...

...Sorry it took so long

"Now," Sharon said standing up, "all we've gotta do to make it completely official is sign the contract."

As she handed it over to Santana, Quinn leaned over her best friends shoulder and read the papers along with her.

"What's it say?" Blaine wondered.

"Just standard things." Sharon assured them as Sam, Finn and Puck looked at her as well. "It just says that we'll be working together for at least three years."

"Three years?" Puck gasped.

"Well of course." Clark stated, "It'll help along the way, it gives us time to give you press and publicity. Get your music out there."

Finn nodded, "so just three years?" He needed to know.

Quinn shook her head, "no, it can last longer, it depends on how well we sell." She eyed Sharon a minute before looking at Finn, "we make money they make money, we don't make money, they lose money."

Finn nodded, "oh."

The pink haired girl shrugged, "it's always open for renewal."

Clark nodded, "absolutely, it all depends."

"On us." Puck finished.

Steve smiled, "exactly."

"It all seems to be in good order." Santana said, she picked up her pen and began to sign her name. After finishing she handed the pen to Quinn, who quickly gave her signature before sliding the contract and pen over to Finn who was followed by Puck, then Blaine then Sam.

After they were all finished Sam gave it back to Sharon. The woman smiled, "it was nice meeting with you all and I look forward to working with you in the near future.

Santana smiled standing up along with everyone else, she offered her hand, "thank you for your time."

As soon as they got home Santana and Quinn ran up the stairs toward their rooms, "we're gonna be late!" Santana hollered down toward the guys who questioned their pace.

Finn looked at Sam who shrugged, "Starbucks."

"Oh." Blaine said as his phone rang, he pulled the device from his pocket and smiled at the caller ID, "hey!" He greeted as he answered the phone. "No, no we just got home. Yes, it went so well." He waved to his friends before he walked away.

"Kurt." Finn stated.

"Obviously," Puck added, "Blaine never lights up like that, not unless it's his boy."

Puck went over to his guitar stand and grabbed the beauty before sitting down and strumming a bit, "gotta write some more," he said.

Finn shrugged a moment before looking at the clock, "it'll have to wait a bit, we gotta go in five."

Puck glanced at the clock before saying, "no, dude we still got an hour."

Finn furrowed his eyebrows a moment before saying, "oh, hey, yeah."

Puck rolled his eyes, "sometimes you're dumber than me."

Sam watched his friends from the chair he was sitting in and laughed.

"Hey, hey," Santana said as she flew down the stairs, "we gotta go." She told the boys before she dashed out the door.

"Santana, wait for me!" Quinn cried from the top of the stairs as she was fixing her Starbucks uniform.

Sam watched with amusement as she couldn't get her belt set right. "It may be pink, but you're still completely blonde." He laughed as she reached the bottom of the stairs.

"You know what?" Quinn said, "I don't like your attitude."

Sam stood up and they shared a quick kiss before Quinn said goodbye and she walked out the door.

'I came to California flying all alone
I left the nest to see if I could build my own
And then I met a flock that was flying high above
It's the Echo Park Ornithology Club'

Finn furrowed his eyebrows, "doesn't Ornithology have something to do with birds?" He asked Sam as Puck sang the words out.

Sam nodded, "yeah, bird watcher, it's the study of birds."

"Dude," Puck said still strumming out his pattern, "birds are awesome."

Finn shook his head, "California's made you soft."

"Whatever," Puck shrugged, "I'm still as badass as ever." He smirked before he continued to sing his rhyme.

'They say I've got a bird chest
and some chicken legs
I met a chickadee but she won't lay my eggs
So now it's flying home that I am dreaming of
in the Echo Park Ornithology Club
it's the Echo Park Ornithology
Echo Park Ornithology'

"I'm thinking grammy." Sam laughed.

Finn nodded, "number one in billboard hot 100."

'Echo Park Ornithology Club'

"No, Kurt," Blaine laughed, "it was nothing like that. It was simple really." Blaine spoke to his boyfriend.

"There were no complications?"

"None." Blaine smiled as he untied his bowtie and began to unbutton his shirt, "you proud?"

"Are you kidding!" Kurt laughed, "I spilt my wine all over the carpet...and I love that carpet."

"That's a good sign."

"I am so proud." Kurt gushed, "I just wish I was there with you. I wish I could've been there with everyone."

"Me too," Blaine agreed, "but you'll be able to fly out later."

"A week tops." Kurt told him, "but Rach is gonna wanna come also."

"Good thing her and Finn ended on good terms."

"Oh, I know."

"Quinn, some woman just ordered a Green Tea frap, and another wanted three Strawberries'n'Creme, one Java Chip and an Orange Mango smoothie." Santana told her friend handing her the order before she turned back toward the counter.

This was the busiest they'd ever been and they were the only two there that day.

"Okay." Quinn sighed before she went back to the kitchen part and began to blend the drinks together.

Santana collected the money from the woman who had the large order before turning toward the next customer and getting their order.

Luckily for her they ordered from the bakery part and all she had to do was retrieve it and hand it over the counter, "your total is $4.25." She said before trading the baked goods for the money then handing the man his reciept. "Thanks, have a nice day." She smiled before moving on to the next customer.

"Green Tea, three Strawberries'n'Creme, Java Chip, and Orange Mango?" Quinn asked as she brough the drinks out.

"That's me." A woman in the front said.

"Here you go." Quinn said before grabbing the reciept and handing it to the woman.

"Thank you." She said.

"You're welcome," Quinn nodded, before Santana handed her another order, "lovely day, isn't it?" She wondered.

The Latina only growled.

"Yo, Blaine you working today?" Finn asked poking his head in the other guys room.

Blaine, who was still on the phone shook his head.

Finn nodded, "okay, Puck and I are going."

Blaine gave him a nod before Finn proceeded out of the room.

"You ready?" Puck asked as he came out of his room in jeans and a tank top. Finn, who was in similar clothing nodded, "let's hit it."

As Finn grabbed his keys he shook his head, "you're not really planning on using that song are you?"

Puck looked at him, "what song? Echo Park Ornithology Club?"

"Yes," Finn said opening his truck, "that one." They climbed inside and began their journey to work.

"It could be a hit." Puck nodded, "you know it's for the bird lover in all of us." He then shrugged, "or, it could be a song that you listen to just to make you laugh because you're feeling a little down."

Finn shook his head, "whatever man."

Puck rolled his eyes, "I like it." He muttered before he began singing once more.

'They say I've got a bird chest
and some chicken legs
I met a chickadee but she won't lay my eggs
So now it-'

"You don't need anyone laying your eggs." Finn said, "you've already got one running out there somewhere."

Puck laughed, "hey, just because I already have a kid it doesn't mean I can't have another." He shrugged, "I want a family of my own."

Finn looked at him, "don't worry, at the rate you're going you'll have one soon."

That earned him punch in the arm.

'It's not unusual to be loved by anyone
It's not unusual to have fun with anyone
but when I see you hanging about with anyone
It's not unusual to see me cry,
oh I wanna' die

It's not unusual to go out at any time
but when I see you out and about it's such a crime
if you should ever want to be loved by anyone,
It's not unusual it happens every day no matter what you say
you find it happens all the time
love will never do what you want it to
why can't this crazy love be mine'

Blaine laughed, "this is just so weird...I'm sorry I feel so weird."

"No, come on?" Kurt begged, "please finish?"

"I don't know." Blaine shrugged, "it just feels awkward."

"Please?"

Blaine let out a light chuckle before obliging, because he'd do just about anything for his love.

'It's not unusual, to be mad with anyone
It's not unusual, to be sad with anyone
but if I ever find that you've changed at anytime
it's not unusual to find out that I'm in love with you
whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh'

Finishing the song earned him a cheer from the boy on the other line of the phone, "I love you." Kurt told him.

"As I love you." Blaine returned.

'I came to California flying all alone
I left the nest to see if I could build my own
And then I met a flock that was flying high above
It's the Echo Park Ornithology Club'

"Puckerman! What the hell are you singing?" Caleb, one of the other construction workers on the line asked.

Puck looked up from his hammer and shrugged, "a new song."

"Sounds gay," Ross, another worker added, Caleb nodded along.

The singer only sighed, "look, I don't care what you say, my band just got signed to a label, and I guartee everyone you know will be singing that song soon enough."

"Including you." Finn added as he dropped some boards on a pile.

Caleb and Ross only laughed.

Puck in turn sang louder and this time Finn joined in.

There's that chapter, I hope this story's getting better and not worse...hopefully I'll be able to make longer chapters soon, but until then...

...thanks for reading and please review...
