Chapter 44
Dancing Queen
…
Author's note – So thank you all for the support, this took more effort to write then I thought because my external hard drive, with 500GB of data, died, I lost almost everything and am devastated because now I have to hunt for what I can replace and accept that the click of death from the thing isn't mocking me. On a personal note, I lost 2 and a half pounds this week which takes me up to 1 stone and 2 pounds off ^_^.
Thanks to; Nija Assasian, Aunthay, Dreamer 3097, Lovefremione, Purplehonor, Crazy4remi, bigoceansmallboat, CheecaRose, Krynny, Tioga ane-chan, HinaLuvLuvChan, Phictionmaker7 and Yesiamstrangegetoverit for the lovely reviews, thanks guys ^_^ x
Now recommendation of the week is a great fic by, if you like QAF you'll like it, it's called Lima meets Liberty and it's an x-over and it's beautifully written by Windrider1967.
The other fic this week is called The Marks Of A Master by yaoilover1013, it's a sweet Klaine and Niff fic and is well worth a read.

The new directions, without the 'troublemakers' as they had been deemed, were parking at Westerville mall, they had to take 2 cars and a truck to get them all there. It wasn't easy to coordinate travel for 9 teenagers, 1 of whom was in a wheelchair, but they'd managed, Puck had driven with Artie in his pickup, the chair however was in the back of Santana's car since it had a big enough trunk and wouldn't fly out if she went fast like they feared it would in the bed of Puck's truck.
As they all got out and sorted themselves out from the 2 hour journey, which had left a couple of them rumpled and a few, namely Sam, slightly embarrassed the were continuing the conversation they had been having.
"I'm telling you trouty mouth, that Addison guy so wants to get it on with you." Santana piped up and Sam flushed bright red.
"Santana!" he yelped.
"What, he's good looking, you're good looking, you boys get it on and I want to video it. That being said I want to video all of those prep boys macking on each other." She said as the walked towards the entrance.
The mall in Westerville was much bigger than the ones near Lima, which didn't really warrant it's own mall, it was located 30 miles away in a slightly bigger town.
"So what are we supposed to be doing?" Tina asked as she and Mike linked arms, Matt on Mike's other side, while Santana and Brittany linked pinkies and Puck took the handles of Arties chair.
"Kurt said to wait in front of a store on the first floor and he gave me a time, so I think we'll get a show no matter what it is. That's why I brought my camcorder." Santana said pulling the sleek little camera from her shoulder bag as the others followed her into the huge mall.
The mall sprawled out before them and they had to look at the store locator to find where they wanted to be, luckily they came early and it looked like there was a little juice bar next to where Kurt had said, so they decided to go and get something to drink while they waited for the designated time.
…
"So what do we think is going on?" Matt asked, he'd been talking a lot more and it seemed hanging out with the Dalton boys had brought him more out of his shell in a few weeks than Mike had managed in years.
"Something big, they wouldn't ask us to come here if it were something trivial, not with all the secrecy anyway." Mike replied as they all sipped on their juices and smoothies.
"Well looks like we're about to find out." Santana said getting her camera out and pointing it to the opening on the lower level.
…
The warblers pulled up to the mall, they had decided to come in their cars and in stages so as it looked less like a gang, the girls had already been there most of the morning and were just hanging out till ShowTime.
"So we all set?" Wes asked as they walked towards the mall, Kurt had made sure to put Kaleo's little service dog coat on so he could take him inside, Justin had arrived early with Tyler to record it all and look after Kurt's dog during the 'show' they had the permission of the malls managers and it was agreed that the Hawks would do a solo performance first before the warblers joined in for a further 2 songs.
"All set." Jeff replied and the boys shared a smile as they went inside.
…
Santana trained her camera on the girls who had moved into the centre of the floor and were talking, she could see the looks exchanged as other girls and boys the same age exchanged looks, what she wasn't expecting was for music to begin pouring from the speakers as she spotted Kurt striding towards the girls.
…
The beat kicked in and Kurt turned as the rest of the team formed behind him.
"Baby baby we're on the rocket,
Venus and Mars now,
Can't be apart now.
Baby baby put me in your pocket,
we're on a mission,
get in position." The whole squad did synchronized moves, mostly arm work to start with lots of quick dynamic poses before the leg work came in, which gave them all a fluidity as they moved round each other and people stopped to watch.
"Put the plug in the socket, give me all your power,
when you turn it on i can go for hours,
hit the switch push the button,
baby then you'll see,
we can have it all baby you and me." The movements were decidedly much like the music video, they'd decided that would be more effective and would concentrate their cheerleading tricks in the chorus.
"Kiss the stars tonight,
you and me, oh we will,
write our name in lights,
then we'll see,
we're in love tonight,
love tonight,
we're in love tonight.
Love tonight,
love tonight,
we're in love tonight." As Ashley took over the song Kurt moved between two of the other males on the squad Lawrence and James, Dawn was behind him as the back spot and she and the two boys hefted him into a full extension before throwing him up into a backflip, which was so high he and the two girls who were copying him went through the gap between levels before being cradled by their bases and back spots.
Kurt got up and moved forwards to take the verse as the moves once again echoed the music video's dance moves.
"Baby, baby were on a rocket
wherever we land,
you'll be my spaceman.
Baby, baby were supersonic
now we're together,
we'll last forever."
Dawn came up and took over her voice belting out as the others moved around her.
"Put the plug in the socket, give me all your power,
when you turn it on i can go for hours,
hit the switch push the button, baby then you'll see, we can have it all baby you and me."
Ashley picked up the chorus again as the other cheerleaders split into two sides and began a series of flips, tumbles and round offs across the floor in front of her. Mixing in some elaborate gymnastic tricks and kicks.
"Kiss the stars tonight,
you and me, oh we will, write our name in lights,
then we'll see,
we're in love tonight, love tonight, we're in love tonight.
Love tonight, love tonight, we're in love tonight."
The Hawks moved off and grabbed the warblers who were hiding in the audience pulling them into the centre, Kurt took great pleasure in moving to find Blaine, grabbing the suspenders he'd decided to wear that day and pulling him back in with him as he belted out the song. Teasingly trailing a finger down his chest as he did so.
"Put the plug in the socket,
give me all your power,
when you turn it on i can go for hours,
hit the switch push the button,
baby then you'll see,
we can have it all baby you and me ."
All of them suddenly started dancing doing the recreation of the video, mostly because it was easier for the warblers to keep up, before the cheerleaders began with the more complex tricks, including Kurt's 'toss liberty lift' before being thrown up in the air in a toe touch and then cradled.
"We we we can have it all baby you and me,
we we we can have it all baby you and me.
Kiss the stars tonight, you and me, oh we will, write our name in lights,
then we'll see,
we're in love tonight, love tonight, we're in love tonight'
love tonight, love tonight, we're in love tonight." They finished with their heads down and there was applause all around them. Before the cheerleaders moved back and the Warblers took front and centre.
"There ain't no reason you and me should be alone
Tonight, yeah, baby! (Tonight, yeah, baby!)
And I got a reason that you're who should take me home tonight (Tonight)
I need a man that thinks it's right when it's so wrong
Tonight, yeah, baby! (Tonight, yeah, baby!)
Right on the limits where we know we both belong tonight" Blaine started as the warblers harmonized, they had declined the use of music, even though the Hawks had wanted it as they were doing most of the back up dancing, the warblers had been fervently against it.
"It's hard to feel the rush, to brush the dangerous
I'm gonna run right to, to the edge with you
Where we can both fall far in love" Jeff belted out, his own voice a nice contrast to Blaine's as they all started dancing, it wasn't as energetic as the Hawks routine but it was still eye catching, with lots of dynamic movements and a few complex moves thrown in for flare.
"I'm on the edge of glory, and I'm hanging on a moment of truth
Out on the edge of glory, and I'm hanging on a moment with you
I'm on the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge,
I'm on the edge of glory, and I'm hanging on a moment with you
I'm on the edge with you." The hawks joined in for the chorus, the female voices blending nicely with the normal tones of the warblers, as Wes and Kurt stepped up.
"Another shot before we kiss the other side
Tonight, yeah, baby! (Tonight, yeah, baby!)
I'm on the edge of something final we call life tonight
(Alright! Alright!)
Put on your shades, 'cause I'll be dancing in the flames
Tonight, yeah, baby! (Tonight, yeah, baby!)
It isn't hell if everybody knows my name tonight
(Alright! Alright!)" they sang and the rest of the teens dance around them.
"It's hard to feel the rush, to brush the dangerous
I'm gonna run right to, to the edge with you
Where we can both fall far in love" David sang his voice ringing out as the crowd started getting into the song some were dancing along and others were recording on their video phones.
"I'm on the edge of glory, and I'm hanging on a moment of truth
Out on the edge of glory, and I'm hanging on a moment with you
I'm on the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge,
I'm on the edge of glory, and I'm hanging on a moment with you
I'm on the edge with you.
I'm on the edge with you
I'm on the edge with you
(You, you, you...)
I'm on the edge of glory, and I'm hanging on a moment of truth
I'm on the edge of glory, and I'm hanging on a moment with you
I'm on the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge,
I'm on the edge of glory, and I'm hanging on a moment with you
I'm on the edge with you (with you, with you, with you, with you, with you)" they all belted together, the cheerleaders, including Kurt ended up in splits on the floor as they all panted for breath.
They had decided to use a song that they already knew to finish off and had decided to allow Blaine yet another reason to belt out Katy Perry, not that he needed one, except this time he wasn't serenading his boyfriend.
"There's a stranger in my bed,
There's a pounding in my head
Glitter all over the room
Pink flamingos in the pool
I smell like a minibar
DJ's passed out in the yard
Barbie's on the barbeque
There's a hickie or a bruise
Pictures of last night
Ended up online
I'm screwed
Oh well
It's a blacked out blur
But I'm pretty sure it ruled
Damn" he belted out and some of the younger members of the audience had started joining in, the warblers, well most of them had grabbed cheerleaders and were dancing enthusiastically, except Blaine who had grabbed hold of Kurt and Kynan and jumped up on an empty bench. The three of them were acting out the lyrics with Kurt checking his phone and Kynan ending up sprawled at their feet on the bench.
"Last Friday night
Yeah we danced on table tops
And we took too many shots
Think we kissed but I forgot
Last Friday night
Yeah we maxed our credit cards
And got kicked out of the bar
So we hit the boulevard
Last Friday night
We went streaking in the park
Skinny dipping in the dark
Then had a menage a trois
Last Friday night
Yeah I think we broke the law
Always say we're gonna stop-op
Whoa-oh-oah
This Friday night
Do it all again (Do it all again)
This Friday night
Do it all again"
Blaine stood in the middle of the open space and started directing the crowd to sing along to the next part as some of the cheerleaders, Kurt and David showed off their moves, ranging from no handed cartwheels to David's signature back flip.
"T.G.I.F.
T.G.I.F.
T.G.I.F.
T.G.I.F.
T.G.I.F.
T.G.I.F."
The warblers all joined in for the next part.
"Last Friday night
Yeah we danced on table tops
And we took too many shots
Think we kissed but I forgot
Last Friday night
Yeah we maxed our credit cards
And got kicked out of the bar
So we hit the boulevard
Last Friday night
We went streaking in the park
Skinny dipping in the dark
Then had a menage a trois
Last Friday night
Yeah I think we broke the law
Always say we're gonna stop-op
Oh-whoa-oh
This Friday night
Do it all again"
They stopped quickly and bowed deeply as the applause erupted all around them, they made as quick an exit as they could, not wanting to hang around and be mobbed by people. Kurt had texted Santana telling her to follow them back to Dalton as Blaine grabbed his hand and they laughed and smiled excitedly all the way to the parking lot.
