Hello readers! GleekAnderson here! So if you haven't already guessed from the title, this is a DISNEY EPISODE! I always wanted Glee to sing Disney and I was so happy when they did Bella Notte! Hopefully they do more! Being the Darren Criss fan that I was, I had to add one of his covers! I hope you enjoy this chapter. It was so much fun to write! A shout out to our editor GleekSylverster! We couldn't wish for a better editor and friend! Thank you!
Blaine Anderson sat struming his guitar. He was alone in the choir room as Glee Club started in a couple minutes. Humming to himself, he strummed random tunes.
"I didn't know that you could play guitar." Blaine looked up to see Amy smiling down at him. The pair had become fast friends after their accidental meeting a week prior.
"Not many people know," he answered. He pulled the chair beside him and motioned her to sit down. She did. "The Warblers were acapella so I had no need for it there. I just play in my spare time. Actually I want you to listen to this song. I've been working on it but I changed it around, so I want to see if you can still recognize it." she nodded and he began to play.
Little town
It's a quiet village
Ev'ry day
Like the one before
Little town
Full of little people
Waking up to say
Bonjour!
Amy smiled as she recognized the tune. Beauty and the Beast was her favorite movie of all time! She secretly still enjoyed Disney, but who didn't? Blaine's cover of the song was very entertaining!
There goes the baker with his tray, like always
The same old bread and rolls to sell
Ev'ry morning just the same
Since the morning that we came
To this poor provincial town
Good Morning, Belle!
Look there she goes that girl is strange, no question
Dazed and distracted, can't you tell?
Never part of any crowd
'Cause her head's up on some cloud
No denying she's a funny girl that Belle
By this point, many of the New Directions had arrived and they stopped to watch Blaine's performance. The latter seemed oblivious to his crowd. Amy noticed Kurt giving her a sour look but she dismissed it.
Oh, isn't this amazing?
It's my fav'rite part because you'll see
Here's where she meets Prince Charming
But she won't discover that it's him 'til chapter three
Look there she goes a girl who's strange but special
A most peculiar mad'moiselle
It's a pity and a sin
She doesn't quite fit in
'Cause she really is a funny girl
A beauty but a funny girl
She really is a funny girl
That Belle
As Blaine finished the song, the room erupted into cheers. He looked up and jumped when he noticed he had an audience. Smiling, he bowed. He shot a quick wink at Amy, who smiled and winked back. Kurt watched the exchanged, shocked and hurt. Amy went over to the girls and they all huddled and spoke rapidly. There was a lot of nodding and quick looks at the boys. The girls finally came to some agreement and sat down at their respective seats. At that precise moment, Mr. Schue entered the room.
-"Ok girls, have you figured out the assignement of the week?" asked Mr. Schue as he put his bag down. Rachel stood up.
"Mr. Schue we have found the perfect assignement. Disney." The boys all looked around with excitement, fear, and aprehension on their faces. Mercedes stood up and continued on for Rachel.
"We are going to pick names out of a hat to make four couples. These couples will find a classic disney song to sing. It's not a competion." finished Mercedes
Wait, what are the rest of us suppose to do?" asked Sam.
"Everyone else will find a way to contribute to each performance so that we can show our other talents." answered Rachel.
-"Sounds awesome girls!" said Mr. Schue. "Let's choose the couples then." he took out the hat that held all their names and was ready for situations like these. Mr. Shue walked up to the board. Picking out the names, he wrote them on the board.
Austin and Brittany
The blonde girl smiled a big smile at Austin. Nervously, he returned the smile. She went to sit with him.
Quinn and Puck
The former couple and parents looked at each other surprised. They began to protest but Mr. Schue stopped them. They looked ackwardly at each other but didn't sit together.
Kurt and Rachel
The best friends broke into identical grins and high-fived. Finn moved to sit beside Blaine to give Kurt a seat. As Kurt sat down, the pair hugged.
Santana and Amy
The two shocked girls looked at each other then looked away quickly, red in the face. Amy found the courage and moved to sit beside Santana.
"Ok" said Mr. Schue "Lets do this!"
Will walked into the teachers lounge. He immediatly found the two people he needed to see and headed to their table.
"Hi Shelby, hi Holly. Can I sit?" the two teachers nodded silently. He sat down. The air was very ackward so he decided to come right out with it.
"Listen guys, I know its been kind of ackward since you started teaching here. Shelby, you coached my competition. Holly your dating my competition. But I need to ask a favor from both of you." They both nodded. "The kids have decided on doing disney this week. Four couples will be dueting while the others have to contribue somehow to the numbers. I can't check on both groups at the same time. I was wondering if Shelby, you could lend us your band and Holly I was wondering if you could help the kids with props and costumes. I will help the kids who are singing. What do you guys say?"
I'm in." said Shelby "My band needs some practice on working with singing. And its been a while since I've helped with show choir." Mr. Schue thanked her and looked at Holly.
"Sure sounds fun. I'll be there," she chirped positively. But her voice was shaking.
The kids that weren't singing were scattered in the auditorium doing different tasks. Blaine, Jack, and Artie, were painting multiple sets. Finn and Sam were mounting the dry sets. Meanwhile, Mercedes, Tina, Lana, and Astrid sat at sewing machines. The four were sewing various elaborate costumes. Sunshine and Lauren were making objects for little details like lanterns, flour pots, and leaves for trees. They were all engaged in conversation.
"I still can't believe that Quinn and Puck are singing together!" anounced Mercedes. "They have been civil since the pregnancy but not close at all. I wonder how its going. I don't think that they have ever sung together."
"How about Amy and Santana? Must be ackward because they hardly know each other. But did you see their faces when they were called?" asked Mike. The group nodded in agreemement.
"Amy did ask me about Santana," commented Blaine. They all looked at him surprised. "We're friends. I walked in on her dancing last week. She's really good."
"What did she ask about Satan?" asked Sam with a chukle.
"How much I knew her and what she was like. Anyway," said Blaine trying to change the subject. "I have no hope on them winning. They have to compete against Kurt and Rachel! And my baby can be competitive when he wants to be."
"It's not even a competition." pointed out Sunshine.
"Yah but everyone is still trying to have the best performance. What do you guys think about Austin and Brittany? Artie?" asked Blaine.
I'm down with it. I'm excited to hear them sing. I trust both Artie and Brittany." the group nodded and returned to their work. Holly Holliday walked in.
"Great job guys! These look awesome! will be really happy with your work!" the group nodded in acknowledgement. Emma Pillsbury paused on her way pass the auditorium. She frowned and coninued on her way.
Amy and Santana sat at dressing tables offstage. They were going first and nerves were running high. Both girls looked stunning however in matching black dresses but with different coloured sashes. Santana shot a quick look at Amy and laughed. The younger girl was having trouble applying her mascara.
"Give me that!" she took the mascara and stood in fron of Amy. She bent over and applied the makeup. When she pulled back, the girls stared at each other for a short second before looking away.
"Good luck" said Amy smiling. Santana returned the smile. They walked out onto the dark stage. The curtains rose and the light flashed on. They were both in a three walled room. Amy was sitting on a bed while Santana looked out a window. As they exchanged some dialog, it became obvious that Santata was in love and Amy was the best friend. Santana began the song.
If there's a prize for rotten judgement
I guess I've already won that
No man is worth the aggravation
That's ancient history, been there, done that!
Amy sang next.
Who'd'ya think you're kiddin'
He's the Earth and heaven to you
Try to keep it hidden
Honey, we can see right through you
Girl, ya can't conceal it
We know how ya feel and
Who you're thinking of
Santana walked away acting annoyed.
No chance, no way
I won't say it, no, no
Amy followed her and they continued the song in this manner.
You swoon, you sigh
why deny it, uh-oh
It's too cliche
I won't say I'm in love
You're way off base
I won't say it
Get off my case
I won't say it
Girl, don't be proud
It's O.K. you're in love
After much chasing, Santana shut the door on Amy. She sighed and leaned against it.
Oh
At least out loud,
I won't say I'm in love
The sound of Amy doowhapping behind the door finished the song and the lights turned off. The glee club cheered and the two girls came forward for a bow. After a slight hesitation, they hugged.
"Awesome work girls! That is how to do Disney!"
Rachel and Kurt sat in Rachel's room. They had been practicing their number and were now lounging on her bed reading Vogue magazines.
"So how is it going with you and Finn?" asked Kurt nonchalantly. He didn't spend much time with Finn since he spent most of his time with Blaine. And Finn was smart enough to avoid them when he and Blaine 'hung out'.
"Good. I hope it stays that way. But then again we are Finchel so I am not hoping for much. How about you and Blaine?"
"How did you know when Finn was cheating on you?" blurted Kurt suddenly.
"He didn't act like himself. He's a terrible liar so it was easy to tell. Why? You don't think that Blaine is cheating on you do you?" she asked concerned.
"Honestly Rach, I don't know. He's been spending an awful lot of time with that new girl, Amy."
"That doesn't mean he's cheating you."
"I saw them singing and dancing together like happy fools. A couple times last week, I saw them chatting in the hallway. We walked on him singing Belle with only her there. I actually caught them winking at each other." he put his head in his hands. "God Rachel, I don't know what to do!" Rachel pulled Kurt into a hug.
"Look Kurt, first of all, you have to trust Blaine. I've already proven that he's 100% gay." Kurt laughed. "You just have to trust that he loves you." Kurt bit his lip.
"I do. It's her I don't trust."
The lights lit up the stage to show Rachel standing in a flowing blue dress. A backdrop of water stood behing her. Wind was blowing in her hair.
What I love most about rivers is
You can't step in the same river twice
The water's always changing, always flowing
But people, I guess, can't live like that
We all must pay a price
To be safe, we lose our chance of ever knowing
What's around the riverbend
Waiting just around the riverbend
The wind picked up abruptly and water rained down on her. The water stuck to her in silver drops.
I look once more
Just around the riverbend
Beyond the shore
Where the gulls fly free
Don't know what for
What I dream the day might send
Jut around the riverbend
For me
Coming for me
The spotlights changed and Kurt stood in light blue pants and blue scarf that matched Rachel's dress. He wore a white shirt that was tucked in but stood loosely from his body.
I feel it there beyond those trees
Or right behind these waterfalls
Can I ignore that sound of distant strumming
For a handsome sturdy husband
Who builds handsome sturdy walls
And never dreams that something might be coming?
Just around the riverbend
Just around the riverbend
Blaine laughed lightly at Kurt's slight change to the song. The water hit Kurt the same way as it hit Rachel. It made his shirt cling to him and it showed his musles underneath. Blaine's jaw dropped to the floor.
I look once more
Just around the riverbend
Beyond the shore
Somewhere past the sea
Don't know what for ...
Why do all my dreams extend
Just around the riverbend?
Just around the riverbend ...
Abrubtly, the downpur stopped and both Rachel and Kurt were in the light. Kurt sang first.
Should I choose the smoothest course
Steady as the beating drum?
Rachel sang next.
Should I marry Kocoum?
Is all my dreaming at an end?
Water dripped slowly from the ceiling as Kurt and Rachel finished the song.
Or do you still wait for me, Dream Giver
Just around the riverbend?
They stood hand in hand, soaking wert. Cheering, the club rose to their feet. They took a bow. Rachel looked at Kurt and gently squeezed his hand.
Artie wheeled himself to where Austin was getting books from his locker. He trusted both Austin and Brittany but he still wanted to have a little chat with his girlfriends duet partner.
"Hi Austin" started Artie. Austin looked down. "I'm Artie. We havn't met formally." he put his hand out. Austin shook it.
"Pleasure to meet you Artie. You weren't in our dance number were you? You were sick right?"
"Yah that was me. Listen man, I trust you but I still have to check." Austin frowned. "I'm dating Brittany and i would just aprreciate it if you didn't try anything."
"Oh hey, no problem. I wasn't even thinking about it! Brittany is sweet but not really my type. It's cool that you care so much for her. She's really lucky to have you." said Austin sincerely.
"Thanks man I appreciate it. And I'm lucky to have her." He began to wheel himself away but looked back. "Thanks again bro." Austin smiled and waved.
"Ok so next up is Brittany and Austin. They have decided to create a video featuring a disney classic." said Mr. Schue as the New Directions sat in the choir room. A screen was set up and the lights were dimmed. "Take it away guys." The video started. Brittany stood on a balcony in a pink ballgown. She held a single rose which she twirled around in her fingers and plucked petals from. Dreamily, she looked up at the night sky.
I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream
I know you, the gleam in your eyes is so familiar a gleam
Yet I know it's true that visions are seldom all they seem
But if I know you, I know what you'll do
You'll love me at once, the way you did once upon a dream
Austing emerged as Prince Charming to join in on the song. He was dressed in puffy shorts and tight shirt. Suprisingly, he looked at home in the outfit. His sisters giggled.
I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream
I know you, the gleam in your eyes is so familiar a gleam
The backround choir took up the song as he climbed the ivy on the castle walls. He finally reached Brittany. Taking her into his arms, they joined in on the song.
But if I know you, I know what you'll do
You'll love me at once, the way you did once upon a dream
The song ended and the couple looked out at fireworks as the camera pulled back to reveal that they were in the Disney castle. The video ended and the lights came back on. The pair got up and bowed to applause. They hugged and bowed again.
The Glee Club had now moved to the auditorium for the final performance. They were all excited to see Quinn and Puck perform. As the lights dimmed, they quited down. The spotligt opened to show Quinn in a long green dress looking out of a window. The set was an elevated corridor that looked down on a terrace. Lanterns hung on invisible wires. Quinn began to sing. Her face glowed with the lights from the lanters.
All those days watching from the windows
All those years outside looking in
All that time never even knowing
Just how blind I've been
Now I'm here, blinking in the starlight
Now I'm here, suddenly I see
Standing here, it's all so clear
I'm where I am meant to be
And at last I see the light
And it's like the fog has lifted
And at last I see the light
And it's like the sky is new
And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once everything looks different
Now that I see you
Quinn was now sitting on a bench in the terrace. She had made her way down while singing. Puck walked in dressed in an identical costume to Flynn Ryders from Tangled.
All those days chasing down a daydream
All those years living in a blur
All that time never truly seeing
Things, the way they were
Now she's here shining in the starlight
Now she's here, suddenly I know
If she's here it's crystal clear
I'm where I'm meant to go
What is going on? Why am I blushing? Quinn close your mouth you look like a goldfish. Snap out of this. You don't like Puck. He played you. You have to grow up and walk away. Oh my god I can't do it! Why am I realising this now? I have been so blind! How have I not seen that I love Puck. I never gave him a chance after the baby incident. I see him in a whole new light now. He's always been there. I just never noticed.
And at last I see the light
And it's like the fog has lifted
And at last I see the light
And it's like the sky is new
And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once, everything is different
Now that I see you, now that I see you
The pair stared at each other for a long moment. Applause broke their trance and they bowed. They snuck a second looks at each other. Quinn winked nervously and Puck stood shocked.
The Glee Club sat chatting during their last meeting of the week. They congradulated each other on their splendid performances and laughed at the ridiculous costumes that they were wearing. They had all agreed to surprise by dressing up like disney characters. The girls were all disney princesses. Rachel was dressed as Snow White while Quinn sat beside her as Rapunzel. Tina was Mulan while Lana was Belle. Beside them, Mercedes chatted with Santana. They wore Jasmin and Pocohontas costumes. Brittany looked stunning Aurora. Lauren was Cinderella, while Sunshine was Ariel. The boys wore varying outfits of Prince Charmings. walked in and stopped dead.
"Woah guys! This is awesome!" the glee club cheered "I mean you guys look amazing! Wait where are the triplets?" as if on cue the three walked in. They sported normal clothes and sad looks. They stood to face the club. Amy spoke up first.
"We're moving" her lip was trembling. The room burst into uproar "Our parents got another teaching job in California. We really don't want to go. We're sorry it's right before Sectionals but-"
"Is there no way for you to stay?" asked Mr. Schue sadly.
"Our parents don't care but we have nowhere to stay. None of our relatives live here." said Austin.
"We really don't want to lose you three. I know its not my place to ask but does anyone have room to take them in." asked Mr. Schue pleading to the club. Artie's hand went up.
"I have room for one. I can take Austin." Austin looked up surprised. Artie smiled.
"You guys don't have to-" started Austin but he was cut off by Artie.
"But we want to."
"I can take Astrid." said Quinn. Astrid nodded silently in thanks.
"And I'll take Amy." Everyone looked up surprised at the curly haired former Warbler. Blaine smiled at Amy who smiled through tears. Kurt looked at his boyfriend with a mix of confusion and anger. Blaine didn't even glance over.
"Thank you everyone." said . "I'm really happy that you guys are staying." he nodded towards to triplets who smiled. "Alright, from the top!"
Hakuna Matata! What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Matata! Ain't no passing craze
It means no worries for the rest of your days

Hakuna Matata!
The Glee Club danced around Mercedes as she sang the lines fromthe famous song. They were all dressed in safari colours and they reused the set from "I don't even know his last name" with April Rhdes eons ago. Blaine jumped in to finish the song.
It means no worries for the rest of your days
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata!
The Glee Club all stood in a line and raised their hand while singing the pivital words. They held the final note longer then usual. As they ended they bowed their heads in synch. The stage lights went out.
