Sorry for taking so long to update but I had some holidays, some problems with my internet and here I am! Glee is close to the finale and I'm so sad :( no Glee for 3 months? It will be 3 hard months! And btw I took longer to update because I had just 2 reviews. I don't know if you like my fanfic or not when you don't review. Please do for any good or bad comments.
New Directions were in a nationals fever. They were practicing day and night to be ready and have the perfect set list and presentation for Nationals because beating Vocal Adrenaline wasn't an easy thing to do. There was a month left but the time was running out easily. It was Monday and all the Glee club kids were in the choir room having some fun with random songs, because Mr. Schue was late. 15 Minutes passed and instead of Mr. Schuster coming in the class, Figgins the principal came rushing in with a weird look on his face and the glee clubbers had a feeling that this was not going to be good.
"Sit down class. I have to tell you something" Figgins had a serious look on his face now, and the whole class were in their seats waiting anxiously to hear what happened. "Last night Mr. Schuester had a car accident" Everyone now was in their worried looks even Brittany who didn't care for anything, anyway. "He had multiple fractures in several parts of his body and he won't be able to move from bed for some time. Now I know you worry about what will happen with the nationals but I can assure you that I'm in the process of finding a substitute with equal skills to Mr. Schuester to take after the club until Mr. Schuester is ready to come back. Unfortunately there will be no practice today so you can go home." And he left the choir room without saying anything else or answering any questions.
They were looking at each other in silence thinking that that was the end of the game. There was no way to win at nationals without Mr. Schuester. Rachel though had a thought that might be even better than having a substitute teacher. They all left for their homes and as soon as Rachel stepped in her house she ran up the stairs to talk to Jesse.
"Hey baby, how are you? I Thought you had Glee rehearsal today what happened?" Rachel told him about Mr. Schuester and then she told him about her idea and she was happy to hear that he approved of it. "Your idea is mind blowing for me at least, but you'll have to talk to Shelby which I think she won't be difficult to convince and to your principal. I'm coming in 15' to pick you up so we can go to Shelby"
30 minutes they arrived at Shelby's house ready to change the future of New Directions. Rachel walked into the house, greeting Shelby who was holding Beth in her arms trying to keep her satisfied in order to stop crying, and as soon as she got into the house she asked Shelby to hand her the baby so that she could make her stop crying the Rachel Berry way. Rachel started singing a Disney song and Beth stopped crying and she was now staring at Rachel, and then she started giggling and playing with Rachel's nose (!).
"So, now that Beth is busy with my nose, and we have some silence I have a proposal to make you. Mr. Schue was in a car accident-"
Shelby stopped her "Oh my God is he ok?"
"Let me continue and if you have any questions I'll answer them" "So he was in an accident, he has some fractures and he will be in bed for some time, and we don't know how much time. We only have a month to prepare for Nationals, and Figgins wants to bring a substitute, but that will take some time too, and we need a teacher now. So the idea that I had was that we can make a new Glee club and the New Directions and Vocal Adrenaline could be one show choir. A Mash-Up of choirs, anyway we had a tie in the regionals why not go together to the Nationals?" Rachel was a bit discouraged by Shelby's look and she was waiting patiently for her answer.
Shelby thought silently for a minute and then she spoke "Wow Rachel, I have to admit that your idea is exciting and it will help both choirs, but have you guys thought of how your fellow glee clubbers will react? You are a couple, and you don't care about competition but what about them?" Rachel and Jesse both knew that Shelby was right but Jesse had an idea.
"Okay, I know what we are going to do. I will talk to the rest of Vocal Adrenaline, Rachel to New Directions and Shelby will talk to Figgins. Then if everything goes well we will be ready to start. But everything has to be done tomorrow before its too late." Shelby and Rachel nodded and both had a smile on their face but only Rachel leaned to kiss him passionately and Jesse returned the kiss . Shelby started coughing to stop them and she said "I know you two are in love, but Rachel you are holding a baby, and you Jesse, can you be less passionate with my daughter in front of me? PLEASE?" They all burst out in laughs even Beth, and they hoped that tomorrow would be a good day for all three of them.
The next day early in the morning everyone was where they should be, Shelby was at Figgins, Rachel with New Directions, and Jesse with Vocal Adrenaline.
Figgins was the first to accept and Shelby didn't even have to try. He was more than happy to do this, because he didn't have to pay for a substitute teacher, and no extra costs to take Glee club to nationals, everything would be paid by Vocal Adrenaline's budget. It was high enough to cover ten Glee clubs going to nationals not only one.
In the choir room Rachel had called an emergency meeting and everyone was happy to be there because they were missing their classes. She told them the idea and at the beginning they were all-negative but after telling them how it will help them teaming up with such a great team, and how they were teaming up with their competition made them changed their mind and they agreed to this.
Jesse was the leader in Vocal Adrenaline so he didn't even had to try convincing them, they would do anything Jesse and Shelby told them so everything was now set up and the plan had to begin. The same afternoon New Directions were at Vocal Adrenaline's auditorium to start rehearsals.
"Good evening guys, today we are going to start with our set list for Nationals, and there will be rehearsals every day. Those who don't know me, I'm Shelby , I will be your new coach and I'm a perfectionist, you will spend hours in this auditorium rehearsing for this competition, I don't want any complains and I want you to be in good shape so you can keep up with my training. That's all from me"
For a very strange reason the two choirs were doing exceptionally well together , and they "bonded" quite easily so that they could pass this month without any distractions. The set list was fast done and the next day they would start rehearsing with the choreography and everything.
Shelby had one last idea "Hey guys, I think we have to find a new name for this choir it's your homework for tonight". And Shelby left with a smirk on her face and with a total peace on her mind that everything was working out so well.
Meanwhile Jesse was sealing Rachel's mouth with kisses, they were more than excited to be together in a choir and more exciting for them was that they took the lead vocals and they would sing together officially.
"I can't believe we are singing together, I always knew this would happen some day Jesse St. James, you won't get rid of me easily" and she finished her sentence with a grin touching her ears. "You know Rachel I think you are a better choir than we are, you may be a smaller group but you have really good vocals while we only have presentation, the combination of our glee clubs will be fantastic. It will be impossible not to win at this competition and I'll have you every day for a month, it can't get any better" He stopped for a second and looked at her "Now let's take you home, its late and you'll need a really good sleep in order to get through Shelby's schedule, she might be your mom but she won't pity you or me or anyone else" And they left the auditorium with a sigh of relief.
Hope you liked this chapter, it was a very spontaneous idea but I think it was good. Please review, and I promise I'll upload the next chapter soon.
