Felicity's POV
Sectionals were almost here. Unfortunately due to a problem with a commercial that we shot, Mr. Schue was not allowed to be our faculty advisor by the competition. It meant that we needed a new one. I was pretty sure that it was going to be Coach Tweedy.
Kate's POV
I was with Mercedes, Artie, and Tina in the choir room. I was wearing a white sweater with a grey maxi skirt and black heels with a black bracelet and a rose ring.
"I bet we'll getting a loser for our Sectionals advisor." Artie declared.
"Coach Tweedy will probably do it." I stated.
"Hey, guys, did anyone think it was weird that Puck rushed to Quinn's aid yesterday?" Rex asked. Quinn slipped on the floor and both Sam and Puck went to help her. Apparently they thought she was giving birth.
"No, he was just concerned." I stated.
"It seemed like more than that." He commented.
"We should go." Mercedes announced.
"We need to practice." He stated as we grabbed our stuff.
"We can do that as soon as we have a coach." I remarked as we all exited the room.
"He's onto us." Mercedes remarked.
"If he finds out, he'll tell Sam." Artie declared.
"I think we should lock Rex up until after Sectionals." I suggested. "He's not good enough that we can't replace him with someone. We can do it."
"No, that's kidnapping." Mercedes pointed out.
"Damn the law." I stated.
"We just heard. Who told?" Santana asked.
"We assumed that it was you." Artie replied.
"Why would I do that?" She questioned.
"Because you hate all of us and you're dating Puck." I pointed out.
"Sex isn't dating." She countered.
"Yeah, if it was, Santana and I would be dating." Brittany replied. I would have to save that for later.
"Look I'm the top dog here and I don't want to mess things up." Santana explained.
"Well we cannot let Rex figure this out because he cannot keep a secret." Mercedes said. "Not to mention Sam will kill Puck."
"And we won't have a shot at Sectionals." I added.
Felicity's POV
I was at my locker getting ready for school. I was wearing a hooded leather jacket over a magenta tee and jeans with neon sneakers, red scarf, red socks and chain earrings.
"So has Quinn had the baby tested yet?" Rex asked.
"I don't think that's something you can do until after it's born." I declared.
"Well I just thought it would be a good idea to get it tested for Tae-Sach's." He replied. "But of course, it's really only an issue if one of the parents is Jewish and Sam's not."
It was then it hit me. He knew that Puck was the father. This was not good. I realized that I didn't have a choice anymore. I needed to tell Sam before he did. I didn't have time to do it before rehearsal. Mr. Schue then came into the room with Coach Tweedy.
"Hey guys, Coach Tweedy has volunteered to fill in for me on Saturday." He declared.
"Do you even know anything about music?" Santana asked her.
"Of course I do." She replied.
"And she cares about you guys. Now I don't know what the future holds for me, but I know you're going to be great on Saturday and you'll make me proud. So, goodbye for now."
"What about our set list?" Mercedes asked.
"I can't help with that." He replied.
"So we need a ballad, correct?" Coach Tweedy asked.
"I have a ballad." Mercedes replied before she sang that song from Dreamgirls that won Jennifer Hudson the Oscar.
"And we can do 'Life is a Highway' in wheelchairs along with 'Don't Stop Believing'." Artie added.
"Okay, looks like we have a set list." Coach remarked.
After school, I finally got my chance to talk to Sam.
"So there's something that I need to tell you." I remarked. "This isn't easy for me."
"What is it?" He asked as he gave me a cute smile.
"It's about the baby." I declared. "You're not the father. Puck is."
He took it about as well as I thought. He went straight to the choir room and started to beat the crap out of Puck. Coach Tweedy had to go get Mr. Schue to break it up and it still took him and Mike for that.
"Calm down!" He ordered.
"Punk came and sucker-punched me." Puck declared.
"Shut up, Asshole!" Sam shouted.
"Who told you?" Quinn asked.
"Obviously it was Rex." Kate declared.
"It was Felicity actually." Sam replied as everyone looked at me. He then looked at Quinn "Is it true? Tell me it's not true."
"It's true." Quinn replied with tears in her eyes. I hoped she wouldn't hate me. "Puck's the father."
"Fuck this." Sam replied. "Fuck you, and you, and all of you. I'm out of here."
Now we had a real problem. We were now one member short of eligibility.
"I have an idea." Kate remarked.
Kate's POV
I went out to the gym where I knew she'd be. She was wearing for her tryout in Florida which would be over winter break.
"I need your help with something." I declared.
"What's wrong?" She asked.
"I need you to join the Glee club." I stated. "Sam found out that Puck is the father of Quinn's baby and he freaked and left and now we don't have enough members for Sectionals on Saturday. You don't even have to sing if you don't want to. Please, please, please."
"Okay." She said.
"Thank you. Thank you. Thank you." I replied as I gave her a tight hug followed by a kiss. "You know this is something else you can put on applications."
"There's no need to freak out about it." She told me.
Felicity's POV
Once we got home, I decided to talk to Quinn about it. I was pretty sure that she would be mad at me.
"I know that I said that I wouldn't tell, but Rex found out and I really wanted to tell Sam before he did." I explained. "I didn't want anybody else to do it."
"So, it's true." She remarked. "You do like Sam like that."
"I do, but that's not why I told him." I declared. "Quinn, you're my best friend and I would never do that to you. I don't even want to be with him if you don't want me to be."
"I'm not going to say that you can't date him." She replied. "I'm not even mad at you. I'm actually kind of glad that he knows. Now everything's out in the open. You know I don't even have anyone to give the baby to anymore and I don't want to be with Puck, so it looks my baby is going to have two moms."
"You mean that in a straight kind of way, don't you?" I asked. It would be really weird if she didn't.
"Yes." She stated. "But I am going to need your help with her."
"Do I get any input when it comes to the name?" I questioned.
"We'll see." She remarked.
"You know it's going to be okay." I told her.
It's been the longest winter without you
I didn't know where to turn to
See somehow I can't forget you
After all that we've been through
Going, coming thought I heard a knock who's there no one
Thinking that I deserve it now I really that I really didn't know
You didn't notice you mean everything quickly I'm learning to love again
All I know is I will be okay
Thought I couldn't live without, it's gonna hurt when it heals too
It'll all get better in time
And even though I really love you, I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to
It'll all get better in time
Since there's no more you and me
Yes Imma let you go so I can be free
And live my life how I should be
No matter how hard it is, I'll be fine without you
Thought I couldn't live without, it's gonna hurt when it heals too
It'll all get better in time
And even though I really love you, I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to
It'll all get better in time
Thought I couldn't live without, it's gonna hurt when it heals too
It'll all get better in time
And even though I really love you, I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to
It'll all get better in time
On Saturday, we were all preparing to go to the competition. We loaded Artie on the bus last. It turned out that Kate got Aurora to be our last member. I didn't even know that she sung.
We then headed to the place and checked in. We found out that we would be performing last.
"I can't believe that we have to go last." Puck stated.
"No, this is a good thing." Rex replied. "It's good to go last because it means that we'll be the most memorable."
"Okay, everybody together." Coach Tweedy replied. "Now I've never coached in this capacity before, so I'll say the same thing that I do before every game. Let's go out there and kick some arse."
It was definitely different from anything that Mr. Schue would say. I did like her enthusiasm about it.
Kate's POV
Once we were in the audience, we were struck with a problem. The other groups were performing our songs.
"Aren't those the songs that we were supposed to be doing?" Aurora asked me.
"Yes." I declared. We headed to the green room and people started freaking out. Artie started ramming his chair against the wall and Coach Tweedy called Mr. Schue for help.
"Hey we can come up with a new set list." I suggested. "Mercedes, do you know any other ballads?"
"None as good as that one." She explained. "You should sing something."
"Okay, I'll do it." I declared.
"And we can close with 'Somebody to Love'." Quinn suggested.
"Well that's not good enough for us to win." Puck pointed out.
"Maybe I can help with that." Sam replied from the doorway. I couldn't believe that he had come back. "I have an idea. Artie, do you think you can help me with some rapping?"
"Sure." Artie declared. Well that was a bit different.
"Mike, Brittany, Santana, can we improvise a dance number?" Sam questioned.
"It'll be choppy, but probably." Mike stated.
"Okay, so let's go out there." Sam stated.
"So do I have to leave?" Aurora asked me.
"No, you can still be here if you want to." I declared. "12 is just the minimum."
I then headed out to the crowd and waited for my cue before I started to sing and walked down the aisle.
I found God on the corner of 1st and Amistad
Where the West was all but won
All alone smoking his last cigarette
I said where you been, he said ask anything
Where were you when everything was falling apart, all my days were spent by the telephone
That never rang when I needed was a call to the corner of 1st and Amistad
Lost and insecure, you found me, you found me
Lying on the floor surrounded, surrounded
Why'd you have to wait, where were you, where were you
Just a little late, you found me, you found me
Early morning the city breaks
I've been calling for years and years and years and years and you never left me no messages
You never send me no letters
You've got some kind of nerve taking all I want
Lost and insecure, you found me, you found me
Lying on the floor where were you where were you
Lost and insecure, you found me, you found me
Lying on the floor surrounded, surrounded
Why'd you have to wait, where were you, where were you
Just a little late, you found me, you found me
Why'd you have to wait to find me, to find me
"Ladies and Gentlemen, we are The New Directions." I stated. It aint segued well into our second song. Sam then started the song.
You ready let's go yeah
For those of you that want to know what we're all about
It's like this y'all
This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
Five percent pleasure and fifty percent pain
And a hundred percent reason to remember the name
Sam he doesn't need his name up in lights
He just wants to be heard whether it's the beat or the mike
He feels so unlike everybody else alone
In spite of the fact that some people still think that they know him
But screw them he knows the code
It's not about the salary, it's all about reality and making some noise
Making the story, making sure his clique stays up
That means when he puts it down Artie's picking it up
Who the hell is he anyway, he never really talks much
Never concerned with status but still leaving you starstruck
Humbled through opportunities given to him despite the fact
That many misjudge him cause he makes a living from writing raps
Put it together himself now the picture connects
Never asking for someone's help to get some respect
He's only focused on what he wrote his will is beyond reach
And now when it all unfolds, the skill of an artist
This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
Five percent pleasure and fifty percent pain
And a hundred percent reason to remember the name
This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
Five percent pleasure and fifty percent pain
And a hundred percent reason to remember the name
From there, we went with "Somebody to Love". I hoped that we were good enough because I didn't want Glee club to be over.
We won. The coach from the halfway was about to fess up, but it didn't matter. We won fair and square. On top of that, Sue was suspended for leaking our set list and Mr. Schue was reinstated. It was a very good day when we got back to school on Monday.
"I'm so proud of you guys." Mr. Schue stated. "The judges didn't even know about the cheating and you still won. Also, welcome Aurora. Now we should start getting ready for Regionals."
"Actually, Mr. Schue, I think Aurora should get a chance to probably audition." I interrupted. She blushed and walked to the center of the room and began to sing.
You would not believe your eyes if ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
Cause they fill the open air and leave teardrops everywhere
You think me rude but I just stand and stare
I'd like to make myself believe
That Planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Cause everything is never as it seems when I fall asleep
Leave my door open just a crack (Please take me away from here)
Cause I feel like such an insomniac (Please take me away from here)
Why do I tire of counting sheep (Please take me away from here)
When I'm far too tired to far asleep
I'd like to make myself believe
That Planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Cause everything is never as it seems when I fall asleep
I'd like to make myself believe
That Planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Cause everything is never as it seems when I fall asleep
Because dreams are bursting at the seems
Once the song was over, Mr. Schue ran out of the room. I was pretty sure that it was to tell Coach Tweedy that he loved her.
So I tried coming up with something for Mattress but got nothing, so I skipped it. Aurora is now in the Glee club and Will and Coach Tweedy got together. The songs are "Better in Time" by Leona Lewis, "You Found Me" by The Fray, "Remember the Name" by Fort Minor, and "Fireflies" by Owl City. Please don't forget to review.
