Disclaimer: I do not own glee, because,well, I don't. I wish I did though! Also the list of songs used are at the end of the chapter.
Day Nine
Breakfast
This is weird, this is weird, this is weird, thought Millie as she walked into breakfast on Tuesday morning. She and Sebastian had walked in together, for the first time since they had gotten together, and it was so strange.
The whole group's eyes were glued onto the couple as they walked, hand-in-hand to the breakfast bar. The eyes stayed trained on them as they sat down and didn't even falter, until Quinn stood up. "Alright, guys, they've had enough!"
Sam stood up too, "Yeah, stop staring." The two blondes strolled over to the young couple, sitting down with them, smiles plastered on their faces.
"Congratulations guys!"
"Yeah," Sam smiled goofily at Millie, "we're happy for you!"
"Uh, thanks?" Sebastian replied, contemplating in his head whether the two blondes were crazed supervillians.
"But, we do have to say…" Quinn started.
"You break Millie's heart, Smythe, and you'll have us to answer to. Millie here, she's our baby girl and we're not gonna let you hurt her." Sam whispered menacingly.
Sebastian visibly gulped, "duly noted,"
Quinn smiled, "great! Okay, now that's out of the way…how exactly did this, you know, start?"
"Well…"
*GLEE!*
Santana clenched her jaw. She tried to make it seem like she was angry but the truth was much worse. She was jealous. Her sister had everything that she wanted. Santana wanted to date a Warbler, Santana wanted said Warbler to like her back. Santana craved for the acceptance of Wes. She really wanted him to like her, the way she liked him. In all actuality, she was, dare she say it, happy for Millie.
Millie had always wanted to find love, and she now she could say she had it. But Santana so wanted to be in Millie's position. She wanted to be loved too, was it so much to ask?
"Uh, Sanny?"
Santana looked up to find her little sister staring down at her.
"Can we talk?" Santana silently gestured to the seat in front of her and Millie took it, studying her older sister closely with a frown upon her face. "Are you angry with me?"
"Why would I be mad at you?"
"Sebastian." Millie replied instantly.
Santana sighed, "Why would I be mad at you for falling for someone? Everyone does it and, well, I guess I'm happy for you. Even if you are dating an idiotic, narcissistic jerk that looks like a meerkat." Millie scowled at her sister, which just made the older Latina laugh, "Oh, don't look at me like that, I'm teasing!" Millie raised an eyebrow, and Santana just laughed, "Oh shut up! You know I love you!" Millie smiled and hugged her sister.
"Hey Santana?" Millie said just before she walked back to her table with Sebastian, Quinn and Sam.
Santana tilted her head, "Yeah?"
"I've seen the way you look at him. I say, go for it!"
Santana furrowed her brows, "Who are you talking about?" Millie just tapped her nose and walked away.
Bonding Time
Once again, bonding time was held in the big ballroom, chairs spread out around the stage so that the club could see every performance up close.
"Alright guys!" Will said happily, "Let's just start, I guess…" He looked around to see if everyone was there, pausing for a moment to wait for Quinn and Mercedes to sit down. "Now, due to a, uh, complication, one group has split into two. So, please, would you welcome the first part of that group, Rachel and Nick!"
Rachel and Nick walked up to the stage, grabbing two mic stands and stools. The set the stools in the centre of the stage, with the stands in front, then sat down and Rachel started to sing:
[Rachel, Nick, Both]
You think I'm an ignorant savage
And you've been so many places,
I guess it must be so
But still I cannot see
If the savage one, is me
How can there be so much that you don't know?
You don't know
Rachel glanced to Nick shyly, he had a look of concentration on his face that Rachel found simply adorable. Wait, did she just say that?
You think you own whatever land you land on
The Earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name
You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You'll learn things you never knew you never knew
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains?
Can you paint with all the colours of the wind?
Can you paint with all the colours of the wind?
Rachel smiled widely as she went into her part of the song, and Nick had to admit, she did have a rather lovely smile. His eyes widened as he realised what he thought, blushing slightly at the thought of it.
Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
Come taste the sunsweet berries of the Earth
Come roll in all the riches all around you
And for once, never wonder what they're worth
The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
The heron and the otter are my friends
And we are all connected to each other
In a circle, in a hoop that never ends
Rachel and Nick stood up for the next part of the song, walking to the edge of the stage, while keeping their eyes looked on each other's the whole time.
How high can the Sycamore grow?
If you cut it down then you'll never know
And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
For whether we are white or copper skinned
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains
We need to paint with all the colours of the wind
You can own the earth and still
All you'll own is earth until
You can paint with all the colours of the wind.
The whole room burst into applause, and Santana even let out a cheeky catcall. Rachel and Nick took a quick bow before leaving the stage hurriedly. Mr Shue stepped up to the stage, awestruck. "Wow! Just, wow, guys that was amazing!" he cried, "Outstanding! And now! Please welcome to the stage…Mike, Thad, Finn and Trent!"
Finn and Trent mounted the stage, each wearing beige joggers and hoodies, thick curls of beige wool stuck to them. Mike was wearing something rather similar, except, his hoodie was not covered with wool. They looked, admittedly, rather comical, but it wasn't until Thad stepped onto the stage that the group really started to laugh.
Thad was wearing bright blue skinny jeans and a thin, long-sleeved blue t-shirt, that had tons and tons of feathers glued to it. The feathers were all different shades of blue and Thad also seemed to be covered in glitter (Most likely, Trent's doing,), and his face was painted blue, except his nose, which was painted yellow.
[Mike, Finn, Thad, Trent, Finn and Trent, All,]
I'm gonna be a mighty king so enemies beware!
Well I've never seen a king or beast with quite so little hair!
I'm gonna be the main event that no king was before!
I'm brushing up on looking down
I'm working on my roar
Thus far a rather…uninspiring thing
The four boys danced around the stage comically. Finn and Trent, working together as two Simbas, Thad as Zazu and Mike as Nala. They moved about, skipping, jumping, hopping. Never losing their energy.
Oh I just can't wait to be King!
Finn and Trent rose their hands up in the air and wiggled their bums.
You've rather a long way to go young master, if you think!
Finn went to stand on one side of Thad, and Mike, to the other.
No one saying "Do this!"
Now when I said that…I
No one saying, "Be there!"
Now, what I meant was!
No one saying "Stop that!"
Look what you don't realise!
No one saying "See here!"
Now see here!
Finn and Mike ran around Thad while he had a tantrum in the middle of the stage and Trent came running forward with a smirk.
Free to run around all day!
Well, that's definitely out of it
We'll do it all my way!
I think it's time that you and I
Arranged a heart to heart
Kings don't need advice
From little hornbills for a start!
If this is where the Monarchy
Is headed, count me out!
Out of service, out of Africa
I wouldn't hang about!
Mike danced around the stage, flipping and diving.
This child is getting wildly out of wing!
Oh I just can't wait to be King!
Finn and Trent ran to separate sides of the stage.
Everybody look left!
On the left side of the stage, Finn turned around and wiggled his bum, getting a laugh from the other teens.
Everybody look right!
Everywhere you look I'm,
Standing in the spotlight!
Not YET!
Thad screamed out his line holding his head in frustration.
Let every creature go for broke and sing!
Let's hear it in the herd and on the wing!
It's gonna be King Simba's Finest thing!
Oh I just can't wait to be King!
Oh I just can't wait to be King!
Oh I just can't wait to be King!
Everybody screamed and cheered happily for the group of boys, who just smirked and bowed happily. Mr Shue climbed onto the stage, smiling, "Alright guys!" He laughed, "That was great! Now, we only have time for one more group, we'll do the other tomorrow…so, for now…here is; Jeff, Puck, Quinn and Sam!"
The four aforementioned teens moved onto the stage, each wearing brightly coloured clothing.
[Quinn, Sam, Puck, Jeff, Puck, Jeff and Quinn, All]
Quinn, Puck and Jeff walked to the centre of the stage, while Sam hid, backstage. Quinn put her hands on her hips and started to say her lines.
I'm talking about Ariel, that's who!
What about her?
She sure is acting fishy lately!
I'll say! Swimming in circles! Chasing her tail!
That girl is up to her gills in something
She's dizzy and she's dreamy!
Her head's up in the foam!
Her eyes have gone all gleamy
It's like there's no one home!
She floats away the days
Mopin' on the coastal shelf
You ask her where she's going
She giggles like a fool
She barely sticks her toe in
Down at the tidal pool
It's more than just a phase
Face it, she's just not herself
Is she ill?
Or insane?
Is it water on the brain?
What has got her bothered so?
It's the bends!
It's the flu!
Gosh, I wish we had a clue!
Oh, wait! Oh, dear!
Good grief! It's clear…
Quinn and the boys started clicking and swaying to the beat.
She's in love!
She's in love!
Pounding heart! Ringing Bells!
Look, I think she's even wearing brand new shells!
She's in love!
In love and it's divine!
She's in love!
That girl's on sandbar nine!
Glory be! Lord above!
Gotta be, she's in love!
Hey, Flounder – d'ya notice anything weird about you-know-who?
Sam walked out on to the stage and stood between his three team mates.
You mean Ariel? I'll say!
She acts like she don't see me
She doesn't even speak
She treats me like sashimi
Left over from last week
You see her late at night
Tossin' in her ocean bed
Shoop, shoop
Shoop, shoop
She lays there like a lox!
As sure as dogfish bite
Somethin's made her lose her head!
She has lost her head!
And she sighs, and she swoons
And she's hummin' little tunes
Even has a sorta glow
What on Earth could it be?
Any hammerhead can see
That sigh
That glow
That swoon
Oh no!
She's in love!
She's flipped, it never fails
She's in love!
All hot beneath her scales!
See her hips
How they swish!
Well, well, well
Don't you wonder who's the lucky seafood dish?
She's in love!
She found a deep-sea hunk!
She's in love!
And now she's as good as sunk!
See her blush!
See her grin!
Gotta be love she's in
Ariel-and-someone swimmin' in the sea!
K-i-s-s-i-ng!
Her cheeks could not flush pinker!
It's clear as H20!
She's caught – hook,line and sinker
Crushed out!
Worked up!
Far gone!
Knocked down!
Hard hit!
In deep!
That's it!
She's in love!
She's in love!
She's in love!
She's in love!
She's in love!
Plain to see!
No mistake!
Look at those moonbeams in her wake
Obvious what they must be symptoms of-
She's in love!
She's in love!
She' in love!
Shoop, shoop
She's in love!
yeah, yeah!
The group all laughed as they clapped and cheered and the group bowed and exited the stage. Mr Shue walked onto the stage once more, "Okay, that's it for today, the rest of you will be doing the same tomorrow and then I will announce the winners of this challenge!"
In Mercedes, Tina and Artie's Room….
"Uh, Guys," Tina spoke into the awkward silence the three had been sitting in for an hour. She was perched on the end of her bed looking across the room at Artie, who was in his wheelchair, next to his bed, and Mercedes, who was lounged across the sofa. "I think-uh-I think we need to talk."
Mercedes peered over the back of the sofa to look at Tina, "Yeah, I think you're right girl."
Tina sighed, "I have done some terrible things to you guys, and I am so, so, sorry. I never even thought that we would turn out like this. I mean, do you remember the great times we had as kids? We would, like, be glued to each other at the hip. We were always there for each other. Artie, who was there for you when you were in that car accident when you were ten? Who helped you adjust to being in a wheelchair at school?"
Artie looked down, his feet suddenly becoming very interesting, "You guys…"
"Yeah!" Tina cried, "And Mercedes, who was there for you when your dad died? Who was stood by you at his funeral?"
"You!" Mercedes laughed.
Tina nodded affirmatively, "and I know that if we work this out, you guys will be there for me too."
"Tina's right, Artie, all this fightin', it's so stupid. We need to let go of the past and focus on our futures. Together. As best friends."
Artie smiled, "Preach!"
In Wes and Santana's Room….
Santana had been contemplating what her sister had said to her that morning. She couldn't have been talking about Wes could she? Santana knew she had feelings for the Asian boy, she had kissed him after all. But she was still so confused. She'd been ignoring him for days and she still wasn't sure if it had meant the same to him as I had for her. If it had, did she want to do anything about it? Yes, she concluded as she made her way back to her room from Quinn's place. She wanted to be with Wes, no matter what, no matter who was against it. She was pretty damn sure that she loved him.
Santana crashed the door open, startling Wes, who had been stretched out on the sofa. She didn't care, however, because she was determined. "Alright!" She said, a little louder than expected. "I think I need to get this off my chest, so you listen to me right now Asian Nerd. That kiss, that wasn't an accident, okay? I meant to do it because I have feelings for you Wesley fucking Montgomery. You hear that? I like you, and I don't mean like, I mean like like. As in love. As in, Wesley Montgomery I am in fucking love with you, okay? There I said it!"
"Well." Wes said, still a little shocked at the outburst. "Santana, if you'd waited around after you kissed me, you would have heard me say the exact same thing as you just said. Santana, I love you too, okay?" Santana smiled and he continued, "I have for…a while, now. Actually, probably since you broke my nose."
Santana furrowed her eyebrows, "Really? Why?"
"It was when you called Rachel a hobbit. When she ran off crying, I looked at you. So many emotions flashed across your face, hurt, anger, sadness, regret, love it was the first time I had ever seen you in a vulnerable position, and it broke my heart."
Santana smiled softly, "So, you love me?"
"Hell yeah, I love you!" Wes laughed and pulled Santana into a kiss.
In Puck and Jeff's Room….
"No way did that actually happen, man!" cried Jeff as he listened to Puck retell the story of how he was put in juvie. The two were sitting on the two-seater sofa and seemed to be getting closer and closer as the minutes went by.
Puck smirked, "Seriously, I totally did! He went to grab my waffle and I was all like, 'leggo my eggo' and he leggo my eggo!"
Jeff gaped at the boy, "I don't believe that happened!"
"It did, I swear!" said Puck, and he scooted even closer to the blonde, pouting, "What do I have to do to make you believe me.
Jeff pulled at the other boy's cheeks, "I refuse to believe that you were that…tough in juvie, I've been there before, you know."
Puck's mouth dropped open, "You what?"
"Yeah, Nick and I ran around Wal-Mart shouting 'Klingons on the bridge' and got caught. We were drunk, so…"
"Dude, that's awesome!" Puck laughed and Jeff bowed slightly.
"But I hated juvie it was so, I dunno, scary, there."
A moment passed, until Puck sighed and held up his hands, "Okay, I admit it, I hated it there too. It was horrible!"
"Then why did you act like you were tough?" Jeff said with a smirk.
Puck muttered, "I was trying to impress you."
Startled, Jeff asked, "Why were you trying to impress me?"
Puck shrugged, "Because…" Then, ever so slowly, he leant forward and pressed his lips to Jeff's. Jeff stiffened ever so slightly, but Puck persisted and soon, Jeff found himself kissing back.
However, he soon remembered what was going on and pulled back, "What the hell, man?" He asked Puck, "You're- You're not even gay?"
Puck ducked his head, "Actually, I am…I just, I'm in the closet."
"Oh," said Jeff, "Well, why?"
"Why what?" asked Puck, looking up at the blonde.
"Why are you in the closet?"
"What? I-uh-I don't know, I guess, it's just that I'm…afraid, of what people…"
"Of what people will think? Who cares! If people don't like you because of your sexuality…screw 'em, you don't need 'em! As long as you have friends who are there for you, you'll be fine!"
"It's not that easy, I care about my reputation!"
Jeff scoffed, "So, your reputation is more important than who you are? You are gay Puck, embrace it. I can't be, y'know, with you until you do that."
Poor Puck , Jeff, you stupid boy!
