Finn's POV:
Mr Shu: Ahhhh! Where is it?
Finn: Where's what?
Mr Shu: My lighting prompt, have you seen it?
Finn: Is that the three yellow bits of paper? You left them in the choir room!
Mr Shu: You're joking! We're due to go on in ten minutes; can you go fetch it for me?
Finn: Sure!
I tie up my sneakers and take to my feet; I make my way out of backstage and run down the corridors towards the choir room. Suddenly I run head first into Karofsky.
Karofsky: Where do you think you're going glee boy?
Finn: Look Karofsky now's not the time, I'm due on stage in the second scene so… maybe later
Karofsky: Are you disrespecting me?
Finn: Yeah, of course, whatever, move out of the way!
Karofsky shoves me back as I try to push past him
Finn: What the hell man?
He grabs my shoulders and shoves me against the lockers
Karofsky: I said, ARE YOU DISRESPECTING ME?
He grabs me by the shoulders again and shoves me into the sport's closet, he grabs a hockey stick and then he pushes the door shut and pushes the hockey stick between the door handles, I grab hold of the metal handles on my side of the door and shake them, the hockey stick won't budge.
Finn: Karofsky open the door, I'm due on in ten minuets!
Karofsky: Sorry what did you say, I can't hear you glee boy!
Finn: I AM NOT JOKING OPEN THIS DOOR!
I look through the tiny glass window and see him walk away
Finn: KAROFSKY!
Rachel's POV:
I pace up and down backstage
Rachel: Where is Finn? Curtains are due to go up in five minutes!
Mr Shu: I don't know! He went to get the lighting prompts! He shouldn't have taken this long!
I am very particular about performing, and I can't have anything go wrong
Puck: I can go look for him if you want?
Mr Shu: Thanks Puck
Pucks POV:
I run out into the corridor
Puck: Finn! Finn!
Suddenly I hear a banging noise down the corridor, then a rattling noise
Puck: Finn? Is that you?
Finn: Puck? Get me outta here!
Puck: Where the hell are you man?
Finn: I'm in the sports closet!
Puck: Oh come on man, you can't cheat on Rachel; I know she's a bit of a prune, is Santana in there with you?
Finn: No Karofsky locked me in here! Come on help me out!
I make my way down towards the sports closet, I look down, there's a blue hockey stick stopping the two doors from opening, Finn stands on the other side, shaking the door.
Puck: its ok man chill, stop shaking the door, I can't open it while you're shaking it!
Finn: Sorry man I'm just panicking!
I grab the hockey stick and drag it out from between the handles, Finn wrenches the door open, and legs it back down the corridor towards the auditorium.
*No one's POV*
Rachel: Finn where the hell have you been?
Finn: I'm sorry, Karofsky locked me in the sports closet, when am I due on?
Mr Shu: Right everyone gather round, the curtains are just about to go up, I've just looked at the audience, we've got a full house! I'm so proud of you guys for writing this and doing this all by yourselves, I couldn't be more proud of you, right, quick places! The lights are going down in the audience!
Stage hand: Ok, the lights are down, curtains are going up in 3… 2… 1…
Mr Shu: Good luck everyone
*Mr Shu runs off stage and all the glee club take their places on the stage*
Rachel: Hi, my name's Rachel Berry and I'll be singing on my own
*The music starts and the audience all settle into their seats*
*Mr Shu smiles to himself backstage, he puts his arm around Finn*
Mr Shu: You're a champ Finn, I'm proud of you!
Finn: Thanks Mr Shu, you've changed me as a person, if it wasn't for you then I'd still be driving around in my car throwing eggs at people
Mr Shu: You know Finn, I really don't think that's true, I think even without me, you would've found yourself
Finn: You really think that?
Mr Shu: I really do…
