Thanks for the awesome reviews! Hope you guys like this chapter.
Artie jumped onto his couch and watched some television while he waited for Brittany to come back. As he flipped through the channel, he stumbled across the news.
"Breaking News…Professor murdered with trident." The headlines read.
"What the FUCK?" Artie screamed as he sat up on the couch.
"Professor Gerry Henderson, age 63, died yesterday as a trident pierced his stomach. Campus police were called immediately as his secretary heard a crash. More on this story, we go to Chip Sullivan. Chip?" One of the anchorman said.
"Steve, I'm standing outside of Ohio State's Archeology Education department where the Columbus Police and Campus Police are swarming the area. Around 4 o'clock today, Professor Henderson was visited by his favorite student, Artie Abrams, who brought him this weapon during his recent excavation to Cairo. However, police rule out Artie as a suspect after video cameras caught Artie leaving thirty minutes before Professor Henderson's secretary heard the crash. As of now, police are looking for a Professor Pete Carmine, from the University of Michigan." Chip Sullivan said, signing off.
"Thank you, Chip. We'll keep you posted as the story develops. Up next…Are your jobs on the line?" Steve said as Artie turned off his television.
"Man, Professor Henderson's dead? Damn." Artie said.
For some reason, Artie wasn't that depressed about it. He'll miss his old professor, but at the same time, his life was amazing. Artie had Brittany again and his favorite teacher was getting married. After waiting a half an hour, Brittany came back, finding Artie sitting silently in his chair.
"Artie? Are you okay?" Brittany asked, walking over to him.
"Yeah, I'm alright. My old professor's been murdered though." Artie said as he turned and looked at her.
"Aw, I'm so sorry." Brittany said as she hugged him.
"It's okay. He was a good man. But let's not keep that from us having fun tonight." Artie said with a smile as he studied his girlfriend.
Artie's mouth dropped when he looked at her closely. Brittany wore almost the same black strapless outfit from before, but this time her dress had gold ribbons around her waist. Her blonde hair was nice and straight again.
"Aw good! Let's go." Brittany said with a smile as she kissed him on the cheek.
Artie followed Brittany out to his car and got in. The two drove to Finn and Quinn's again and followed them to the bar, where everyone waited for them. Walking inside, the four were greeted by hugs and cheers from the group. Finding a big enough table, Finn ordered everyone beer.
"So how are we going to do this?" Finn whispered to Artie, referring to the karaoke.
"Well, we could go hip-hop or do a guys vs. girls challenge." Artie said with a laugh.
"Let's do both. I want redemption from last time." Finn said with a laugh as he took a sip of his beer.
"If you're ready to lose again, but this time, I'll go first." Artie said as he drank his beer and walked up to the stage.
The stage lights were brighter the they were before. Artie grabbed the microphone and again introduced himself.
"Hey guys. I'm Artie Abrams and today I'll be singing Lose Yourself by Eminem." He said with a grin.
As the music started, everyone started clapping to the beat.
"His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready to drop bombs,
but he keeps on forgetting what he wrote down,
the whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
He's choking how, everybody's joking now
The clock's run out, time's up over, bloah!
Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity
Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked
He's so mad, but he won't give up that
Easy, no
He won't have it , he knows his whole back's to these ropes
It don't matter, he's dope
He knows that, but he's broke
He's so stagnant that he knows
When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's
Back to the lab again yo
This whole rhapsody
He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo
The soul's escaping, through this hole that it's gaping
This world is mine for the taking
Make me king, as we move toward a, new world order
A normal life is boring, but superstardom's close to post mortem
It only grows harder, only grows hotter
He blows us all over these hoes is all on him
Coast to coast shows, he's know as the globetrotter
Lonely roads, God only knows
He's grown farther from home, he's no father
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
But hold your nose 'cause here goes the cold water
His hoes don't want him no more, he's cold product
They moved on to the next schmoe who flows
He nose dove and sold nada
So the soap opera is told and unfolds
I suppose it's old partner but the beat goes on
Da da dum da dum da da
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo
No more games, I'ma change what you call rage
Tear this motherfucking roof off like 2 dogs caged
I was playing in the beginning, the mood all changed
I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
But I kept rhyming and stepwritin the next cypher
Best believe somebody's paying the pied piper
All the pain inside amplified by the fact
That I can't get by with my 9 to 5
And I can't provide the right type of life for my family
Cause man, these goddam food stamps don't buy diapers
And it's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life
And these times are so hard and it's getting even harder
Trying to feed and water my seed, plus
Teeter totter caught up between being a father and a prima donna
Baby mama drama's screaming on and
Too much for me to wanna
Stay in one spot, another day of monotony
Has gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail
I've got to formulate a plot or I end up in jail or shot
Success is my only motherfucking option, failure's not
Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go
I cannot grow old in Salem's lot
So here I go it's my shot.
Feet fail me not cause maybe the only opportunity that I got
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo"
Artie smiled as the song finished. The bar erupted with cheers as Artie walked over to the table.
"I hate you." Finn said with a laugh as he walked past him.
Finn walked up to the stage and introduced himself and began singing Hero by Nas. As soon as he finished, Finn walked back and sat down.
"Fair enough." Artie said with a laugh.
After ordering a few more beers for everyone, Finn told them about a guys vs. girls competition. Happily agreeing, the girls jumped onto the stage. The stage lights showed more of their beauty. Quinn introduced everyone and they started singing Hold It Against Me by Britney Spears.
Artie watched as Brittany sang and danced. She reminded him of them back in high school when she danced during Sectionals and how Brittany freaked out when she lost his "magic comb". Artie couldn't help but smile as she blew him a kiss. Finn, on the other hand, laughed as he watched Quinn danced. As the girls song ended, Brittany rushed over and kissed Artie, then sat down.
"You were perfect up there." Artie said with a smile, as he stood up and went on the stage.
Puck grabbed the microphone and introduced everyone and they started singing Here Without You by 3 Doors Down. The girls "melted" as they watched their men sing to them. Brittany started crying as she watched Artie smile at her. As the song finished, the girls rushed the stage and hugged their men.
"I love you." Brittany whispered in Artie's ear as she hugged him tight.
"I love you too." He said as he kissed her.
