Glee returns to the 80s!

Chapter Ten: Truths and Lies

(Finn smiled as he walked through the car park of McKinley High. Everything was going perfectly for him, he was back together with Rachel and nothing was going to stand in their way this time now that Jessie was out of the picture, Mr. Schue had told him privately that he thought that they had a great shot at Regionals this time and he also had managed to get that Spanish assignment out of the way that Mr. Schue had set them but he'd had completely forgot to do until Rachel reminded him.)

"Finn!" Finn heard a yell and turned around to see Rachel run towards him and engulf him in a hug. "I totally forgot my two gay dads want to meet you and they suggested tomorrow night. I know it`s only Breadsticks but it's the only place in town that's half decent." Rachel looked down at the ground and started to fiddle with the zipper on her jacket which is what she did when she got nervous. Finn smiled and leant forward and kissed her.

"Course I would love to meet them" Finn grinned and Rachel looked relieved. "I better go I have an appointment with Miss. Pillsbury, I'll catch up with you later." He hugged Rachel then set off to Miss. Pillsbury's office, however through the glass in her office it looked like she was having a heated conversation on the phone and Finn had never seen her like this. Emma then put the phone down and sat breathing heavily.

"Miss. Pillsbury if this is a bad time..." Finn trailed off uneasily and Emma glanced at Finn.

"Oh gosh Finn I`m so sorry I forgot I had you in first thing. No sit down" Emma smiled as she sanitized her hands and Finn looked confused. "Just some home problems but I guess that wouldn't happen to you I mean getting involved with two different guys, one your especially close too but you know you don't have a chance..." Emma rambled on until she saw Finn glancing confused at her."Gosh look at me rambling on when it`s supposed to be about you" Emma smiled sweetly and Finn looked embarrassed. He made a mental note in his mind to tell Rachel then continued telling Emma about how he wasn't sure about his mother`s and Burt's wedding. Suddenly Finn turned around and saw Mr. Schue walking past. He then glanced at Emma and his face fell but Emma didn't notice because she was talking to Finn.

"Mr. Schue looks unhappy," Finn thought "But I was in the same situation last term with Jessie and look how that worked out."

(It was coming to the end of the school day and Will had his final Spanish class of the day which included Finn, Quinn, Puck and Kurt. The bell went to signal the end of the school day and everyone except Finn made their way out of the door. However Finn walked up to Will`s desk and stood there for a few seconds until Will lifted his head.)

"Oh hey Finn," he smiled "If this is about your assignment I had a quick look while you were doing the test and I think you have done pretty well."

"No it's not that but thanks" Finn smiled sheepishly. "I was just wondering about Glee Club. I know we only have a few weeks left before Regionals and I wanted to know if me and Rachel could combine the duet and the ballad together or has it got to be separate?" Will looked bemused but then started to nod.

"No there`s nothing in the rule book to say you can't combine the two together but then we would have to come up with probably another ballad to counter it" Will replied. "I'll contact the show choir board and let you know. Is that everything?"

"Yeah," Finn replied "I'll see you at Glee practise then Mr. Schue" Finn grinned then left the classroom where he nearly bumped into Rachel.

"Thought you were never going to come out of there" Rachel looked cross.

"Sorry," Finn replied "But I was just asking Mr. Schue if we could combine the duet and the ballad at Regionals and he said there shouldn't be a problem but he would have to contact the board" Rachel did the same nodding motion that Will did and smiled.

"That`s actually rather clever of you Finn" Rachel beamed and Finn smiled. "How did your appointment with Miss. Pillsbury go?" she glanced at Finn as they walked down the corridors and Finn nodded.

"Yeah it went ok," he replied "Except that she looked really angry when I came into her office and I have never seen her like that before."

"Interesting..." Rachel mused "Maybe not everything is as rosy as we seem."

"Oh and then Mr. Schue passed by the office, looked at Miss. Pillsbury and looked really sad," Finn explained "Like they had a row or something."

"He passed by the office!" Rachel exclaimed "Finn why didn't you tell me?" Finn shrugged "This is useful information for Project Schuesbury but right now we better get to Glee" she said as she dragged Finn down the corridor. But what they didn't know was that Santana was watching them from her locker.

"I'll make sure that their tryst in paradise won`t last very long not when I let the cat out of the bag about what I did with Finn`s v card" Santana smirked as she slammed her locker door and started walking towards the choir room for Glee Club practise.

(The Glee Clubbers all sat around while Mr. Schue wrote 'Power Ballads' on the whiteboard, as he walked back however Rachel stuck up her hand.)

"What is it Rachel?" Will replied almost tiredly.

"Mr. Schue didn't we do ballads last term?" Rachel replied "Remember when we paired up and..." she was broke off by Kurt.

"Yes we know Rachel you don't have to remind us like a broken record" Kurt rolled his eyes and Mercedes giggled.

"Power Ballads are much stronger Rachel a normal ballad is a love song but a power ballad comes from the heart its much stronger in fact you did a power ballad last term 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' Will smiled as Rachel nodded. "Also guys can sing power ballads as well for example Bon Jovi's 'Always' is a power ballad.

"Also Aerosmith 'Dont Wanna Miss a Thing'" Finn chipped in.

"Very good Finn but those are 90s power ballads. For your assignment this week I want you to find an 80s power ballad so artists like Bonnie Tyler, REO Speedwagon, that sort of thing" Will explained. Brittany still looked a bit confused so Will resolved at the next Spanish lesson to explain it to her as the warning bell for the next lesson sounded.

"I have a great idea for a performance that the girls could do," Quinn whispered to Rachel who nodded slightly "Meet us in the choir room after school and I'll tell you."

"OK" Rachel nodded as the Glee Clubbers left the room.

(Emma finished talking to the freshman that had come into her office crying hysterically about the Cheerio that had been bulling her for the past few weeks and sighed pushing some more hand sanitizer into her palms. It had been a tough day and all she wanted to do was to go back home to her condo and forget about wedding plans for a day. But that all changed with a knock on her door, Emma turned around and was surprised to see Carl standing there. She gave a nod and Carl entered.)

"Hey," Carl smiled "Just finished work so thought I would just pop in. Listen I'm sorry about this morning I had a really awkward patient and I was just stressed that's all."

"That`s fine" Emma replied smiling. "Listen Carl I'm really sorry but I have such an awful headache I just want to go home and rest. Can we cancel plans for tonight?"

"But the wedding is in four weeks" Carl looked surprised. "Is there something you aren't telling me?" his eyes narrowed and Emma shook her head "Because if there is I'll find out!"

"C-Carl you're scaring me" Emma whispered. "I just feel awfully tired and beside everything is nearly sorted out anyway." Carl nodded and kissed the top of her head.

"I'm just worried about losing you that's all," he murmured "I hope you feel better soon" he smiled as he exited the office. As he left he noticed Will going down the corridor after his last Spanish practise and the dentist narrowed his eyes again. Unbeknown to Emma he had seen their moment outside Breadsticks and he vowed to keep an eye on Will in future. However Will hadn't seen Carl and he knocked sharply on Emma's office door.

"Carl if that's..." Emma's voice broke then she looked up to see Will "Oh Will it's you" she continued.

"Just come to see how you were you looked a little stressed this morning" Will looked concerned.

"F-fine just a little tired" Emma muttered. Will glanced at her and Emma just sighed "Really Will I'm fine" she replied and Will nodded closing the door behind him. Emma just put her head on her hands and sighed.

(It was the next day at Glee Club and the girls were all stood in position, they had decided to do Bonnie Tyler's 'Holding Out for a Hero' as Brad started to play the opening bars.)

(M)Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
(Q)Where's the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?
(R)Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and turn and dream
of what I need

[Chorus]

(Al)I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life

(R)Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
(S)Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me
(Q)Racing on the thunder end rising with the heat
(M)It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet

(Q)Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
(R)I would swear that there's someone somewhere
Watching me

(T)Through the wind end the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
(M)I can feel his approach
Like the fire in my blood

(All the boys applauded and cheered as Rachel sent a grin towards Finn something Santana noticed.)

"Nice work girls" Will smiled and high fived them all. Rachel giggled and Quinn slightly blushed.

(Will slightly whistled 'Holding Out for a Hero' as he marked another one of the Spanish assignments. Suddenly he heard a knock on the door and he shouted "Come in". However he was surprised for it to be Carrie.)

"Hey Will," Carrie smiled "I just came to tell you I had a great time out and I was wondering when would be the next time?" She smiled perching on his desk.

"Carrie I don't think it's such a great time now" Will replied. "What with Regionals coming up I need all the time I can get and this time we have to win" he sighed running his hands through his hair. Carrie paused pursing up her lips then nodded.

"Your right" the black haired female smiled. "I'm sorry it's just well I'm really excited" she smiled and Will blinked. "I haven't been in a relationship for such a long time and well it's you as well" she grinned "You're like the one who got away." Suddenly there was another knock on the door and Sue poked her head in.

"Schuester, Figgins oh..." she paused and smirked.

"I'll be going Will" Carrie murmured straightening up her jacket and leaving the office blushing heavily. Sue sat down in the chair and stared hard at Will.

"Not now Sue I'm busy" Will replied putting another essay on the pile that was pilling up.

"And you were when I knocked," Sue replied "How many is that now 3, 4?" the cheerleading coach smirked "I'm talking about your dalliances with Vocal Adrenalines coach and that blonde floozy we call April Rhodes now you have that dark haired coach from that so called dance squad wrapped around your fingers."

"How did you know about Shelby and April?" Will looked bemused.

"Oh I have my sources," Sue replied sipping from her protein shake "I'll keep my beady eye on you Schuester" she smirked as she left the office. Will then just leant his head on the desk and sighed.

"I was just about to tell Carrie as well that it wasn't working out" he sighed just as there was another knock on the door. "WHAT!" he yelled and was surprised to see Finn's scared face poking behind it. "Finn?" Will looked surprised to see his male lead there.

"Mr. Schue I'm sorry to bother you but its Rachel and Santana they just started bickering in the girls toilets and then it spilled out from there now they are fighting in the main hallways" Finn glanced at his teacher.

"What," Will looked bemused "I know Santana but Rachel?" he looked surprised.

"Come on I'll show you" Finn nodded and Will picked up his keys, locked the door to his office then followed Finn at a run.

(Santana pushed Rachel to the ground and pinned her there as Brittany looked scared for her best friend. Suddenly two strong hands lifted the two girls up as Will glared heavily at the two girls.)

"What is this all about?" Will asked.

"Mr. Schue, Santana said to me that Finn slept with her," Rachel replied "But he told me he couldn't go through with it so I slapped her."

"It so is true" Santana replied looking at the torn sleeve of her Cheerio uniform. "Tell her Finn!" Finn couldn't look at Rachel as the truth dawned on her that Santana was telling the truth. Crying Rachel walked up to Finn and hit him crying as she did.

"We are so over" she whispered as she looked round at the other students. "Shows over" she yelled through tears and anger as she walked away down the corridor. As the other students flickered away back to class until there was only Will and Finn left.

"Mr. Schue can I use the choir room?" Finn asked. Will nodded and walked back to his office as Finn walked to the choir room which was empty. He then picked up a guitar which Puck had taught him to use over the summer holidays and started to play the first notes to REO Speedwagons 'Keep on Loving You'.

"You should've seen by the look in my eyes, baby
There was something missing
You should've known by the tone a' my voice, maybe
But you didn't listen
You played dead, but you never bled,
Instead you lay still in the grass, all coiled up and hissing

And though I know all about those men
Still I don't remember
Cause it was us, baby, ready for them
And we're still together

And I meant, every word I said
When I said that I love you, I meant that I'd love you forever
And I'm gonna keep on loving you
Cause it's the only thing I wanna do
I don't wanna sleep
I just wanna keep on loving you
Baby I'm gonna keep on loving you
'Cause it's the only thing I wanna do
I don't wanna sleep, I just wanna keep on loving you"

(Finn put the guitar down on the floor and just hung his head.)

"Man I really messed things up didn't I" he murmured as he sat alone in the choir room.

(Will sat alone in the faculty lounge eating his lunch and flicking through the choir rule book. Suddenly he looked up over the book to see Sue glancing at him.)

"Sue I'm really busy at the moment so if we can leave this for another time" Will rolled his eyes.

"Don't roll your eyes at me buddy and I don't want you somebody else does" Sue replied. Will looked confused as he finished off his cookie.

"Who?" He replied thinking of Carrie. Sue just smirked as she clicked on her Iphone and didn't answer Will. Will then left the faculty lounge and walked down the corridor until an hand placed on his shoulder.

"Think we should have a little chat" a smooth voice was heard and Will turned to see Carl staring at him "Look I want you to stay away from Emma!"

"W-what," Will said confused "But were just friends I told you that way before. And beside I'm..." Will was cut off by Carl pacing the corridors.

"Yeah you say that but I saw your makeout session last week!" Carl glared at Will who's face went white. So he had seen it after all. "I'm not going to tell Emma that I know but if there`s any more moments any more secret meetings that I find out and I will tell her. And the consequences won't be good. Are we clear?" Will nodded and Carl smirked. "Oh and one more thing if you even think about coming to the wedding..." Carl was then interrupted by Will.

"I have to come to the wedding Emma`s my best friend and beside what should I tell her?"

"Oh I'm sure you will think of something" Carl replied as he walked away. Will then walked back to the choir room which was empty as it was lunch time, then sat at the piano as he started to play the opening bars to Foreigners 'I Want to Know What Love is'.

"I gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I'm older
Aaaah woah-ah-aah

Now this mountain I must climb
Feels like a world upon my shoulders
And through the clouds I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder

In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me
Aaaah woah-oh-ooh

I'm gonna take a little time
A little time to look around me, oooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh oooh
I've got nowhere left to hide
It looks like love has finally found me

In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
I can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
And I wanna feel, I want to feel what love is
And I know, I know you can show me

Let's talk about love
(I wanna know what love is) the love that you feel inside
(I want you to show me) I'm feeling so much love
(I wanna feel what love is) no, you just cannot hide
(I know you can show me) yeah, woah-oh-ooh
I wanna know what love is, let's talk about love
(I want you to show me) I wanna feel it too
(I wanna feel what love is) I wanna feel it too
And I know, and I know, I know you can show me
Show me what is real, woah (woah), yeah I know
(I wanna know what love is) hey I wanna know what love
(I want you to show me), I wanna know, I wanna know, want know
(I wanna feel what love is), hey I wanna feel, love
I know you can show me, yeah

(Will finished playing the last note and closed the piano lid. His mind was made up he was going to the wedding despite what Carl said. Emma was his best friend after all despite his lingering feelings he just wanted her to be happy she deserved that at least. Will exited the choir room going to Spanish class not knowing that Emma had heard him on her way back to her office. Suddenly as Will entered his office he had an idea. Getting out a cell phone he dialled a number.)

"Hi April its Will," he smiled "Listen can you spare a few minutes..."

(Rachel sighed as she looked out at the auditorium which was empty apart from the seats. She imagined it full of screaming adoring fans but she also knew that the one person that she really wanted to be there wouldn't be.)

"At least I'll be away from heartache" she whispered wiping away a tear. She then glanced at Brad who was sat at the piano and who started to play the opening bars to Journey 'Open Arms'.

(R) Lying beside you, here in the dark
Feeling your heart beat with mind
Softly you whisper, you're so sincere
How could our live be so blind
We sailed on together
We drifted apart
And here you are by my side

So now I come to you, with open arms
Nothing to hide, believe what I say
So here I am with open arms
Hoping you'll see what your love means to me
Open arms

(Just as Rachel was about to start the second verse she heard a male voice singing and she glanced at the back of the auditorium to see Finn walking towards her.)

(F) Living without you, living alone
This empty house seems so cold
Wanting to hold you, wanting you near
How much I wanted you home

But now that you've come back
Turned night into day
I need you to stay.

(Finn then came into the stage as he stood next to Rachel and looked into her eyes pleading with her to forgive him.)

(Both)So now I come to you, with open arms
Nothing to hide, believe what I say
So here I am with open arms
Hoping you'll see what your love means to me
Open arms

(As Brad played the last note Rachel prepared to run away but Finn grabbed her sleeve.)

"If you can't forgive me, please forgive me at least for the sake of the team and Mr. Schue" he pleaded with Rachel. "We can't lose Regionals again this is our only chance otherwise the club will be over. I know we can't be together now as a couple I blew that but for New Directions?" he looked at Rachel and Rachel nodded knowing he was right.

"Ok," she nodded "But just for New Directions. I thought we could maybe use 'Open Arms' as our duet and also as the ballad and then we could use 'Don't Stop Believing' as our closing song, its kinda our theme" Rachel smiled.

"That means we would have to think of another song but I'll think of something" Finn replied. "Come on lets tell Mr. Schue" he smiled as he followed Rachel out of the auditorium.

(Emma sat by her desk filling out one of the college reports that would be soon sent out to the different colleges. Suddenly she lifted her head up as she noticed a knock on her door.)

"Come in" Emma called out and she was surprised to see April Rhodes there. The last time she had seen April was at the New Directions Invitationals when Emma had been in the crowd and April had been performing. However Emma knew about other incidents that had been involving April and her eyes narrowed.

"Look im not here to be friendly" April drawled. "I was just passing and thought I might just pop by. Will mentioned that you knew about our little sleepover," Emma sighed "But Wills telling the truth I mean I must admit I wanted to but Will wasn't interested, hell he's over Terri so if he isn't interested then he must have his heart on somebody else."

"What are you talking about April? Cut to the chase" Emma said putting the form away and leaning back.

"What I've come to say is the reason he keeps bringing the subject up is that he never meant anything despite what you heard and well I know you don't believe him so I thought I would come and well say it from the horse's mouth so to speak" April smiled. Emma blinked.

"So you never..." she trailed off. April laughed.

"Isn't that what I've been trying to tell you" April drawled glancing at her engagement ring. "I better go before I get kicked out by Figgins for being on school grounds after school time. Now remember what I said and hopefully next time..." she gave a wink and left the office leaving Emma slightly confused.

"So they never..." Emma whispered playing with her engagement ring and let out a loud sigh. Meanwhile in the auditorium Will was watching the Glee Clubbers practise T Pau's 'China in Your Hand' with Rachel on lead.

"It was a theme she had

On a scheme he had

Told in a foreign land

To take life on earth

To the second birth

And the man was in command

It was a flight on the wings

Of a young girl's dreams

That flew too far away

And we could make the monster live again

Oh hands move and heart beat on

Now life will return in this electric storm

A prophecy for a fantasy

The curse of a vivid mind

(All)Don't push too far

Your dreams are china in your hand

Don't wish too hard

Because they may come true

And you can't help them

You don't know what you might

Have set upon yourself

China in your hand

(R)Come from greed

Never born of the seed

Took a life from a barren hand

Oh eyes wide

Like a child in the form of man

A story told

A mind of his own

An omen for our time

(All)Don't push too far

Your dreams are china in your hand

Don't wish too hard

Because they may come true

And you can't help them

You don't know what you might

Have set upon yourself

China in your hand

Oh your hand

Your dreams are china in your hand, wooah

Here in your hand

China in your hand, woh oh oh woh oh oh woh oh

Here in your hand

(R)Woh! You take a flight on the wings of fantasy

Then you push too far

And make your dreams reality

Yeah! For the china in your hand

But you shouldn't push too hard

(All)You take a flight on the wings of fantasy

Then you push too hard

You make those dreams reality

Yeah! China in your hands

But they're only dreams

(As they finished Will looked towards the door of the auditorium to see April standing there. She flashed him a smile and Will nodded.)

And that's chapter ten. Only three more chapters to go*sobs* but everything is getting tied up pretty quickly especially in the last two chapters. As I always say please review it's very much appreciated.

Chapter Eleven: Halloween!

As Halloween comes closer Will sparks on the idea of having a Halloween party and to tie it in with the 80s to do a New Romantic theme for the week. Meanwhile Kurt uses the idea of Lady Gaga again for his Halloween costume but that doesn't fit in well with the football players and Carrie starts to become suspicious of Will and Emma's closeness.
