"You're okay Rachel?" Jeremy asked her as she hung up her phone.
"The senior class president was supposed to announce the Sadie Hawkins dance today but she's sick and won't be in this entire week. I have to do it." She replied.
"So, what's the problem?" Dawn asked her.
"I'm not good with big speeches… I think I'll find another way to announce it." She said.
"You should sing about it. Like you say there is going to be a dance and sing a song to explain it." Dawn suggested.
"You're right… I have to speak with Caroline and a few other Glee girls, I know exactly what I'm going to do." Rachel said with a determined look on her face before she half ran inside the building.
"Wow, where's the fire Rachel?" Stefan asked her as she accidentally ran into him.
"Sorry Uncle Stefan, I need to find Caroline and the Glee girls before last period." Rachel said as she went back to running.
.
Rachel quickly found the people she was looking for and after explaining what she had in mind, everyone involved was very excited.
"When are we doing this?" Caroline asked her.
"Tomorrow at lunch, it's the best moment I think." Rachel replied before they said goodbye and went home.
.
The next day, for lunch, Rachel went to stand in front of everyone with the girls she chose to help her standing behind her.
"Hello everybody. I have an announcement to make. Next Saturday we're going to be hosting a Sadie Hawkins dance. You know what it means: the girls are supposed to ask the boys. Not the other way around. Sadie Hawkins dance means 50's decade dance. Here is a little song for the occasion." Then the music started and the girls positioned themselves.
Rachel got another microphone ready for Caroline and checked to see if it was turned on. They all had the same dress on and even if the dress was old fashion (50's), they looked cute.
RACHEL:
I know something about love
Rachel and the other girls where dressed the same in old fashion dresses and they all had bright smiles on their faces as they looked at the student body assembled before them.
CAROLINE:
You've gotta want it bad
Matt smiled at Caroline who winked at him. He liked that she was good friend with Rachel. She seemed happier now that they were both friends.
RACHEL:
If that guy's got into your blood
Rachel threw an amused smile at Stefan who chuckled. Elena put her hand on his tight, willing to remind him that she was right next to him.
CAROLINE:
Go out and get him
As they had decided, the girls who were dancing with Rachel and Caroline were slowly making their way to the boys they wanted to ask out. Rachel didn't really see who she wanted to go with so she wasn't going to ask anyone.
CAROLINE AND RACHEL:
If you want him to be
The very part of you
Makes you want to breathe
Here's the thing to do
Tyler was frustrated. He couldn't ask Rachel to go with him since it was a girl's choice. Who was she going to go with? He knew he could impress his team mates not to agree to go with her but the school is big and there are a lot of guys she could go to… Maybe she was even going to ask someone from out of town… Did she know other people in town? He really hoped he would be able to get her to ask him….
ALL THE GIRLS:
Tell him that you're never gonna leave him
Tell him that you're always gonna love him
Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him right now
This song seemed to be enjoyed by most of the audience. Girls liked the empowerment that came with this kind of dances and boys just liked to watch girls move in pretty dresses.
CAROLINE:
I know something about love
However, boys were starting to understand that they would be at the mercy of girls for the next week and a half and they were getting very nervous. Was that how girls felt all the time?
RACHEL:
You gotta show it and
Make him see the moon up above
"So, how are things at the Boarding house with Rachel and your brother?" Elena asked Stefan.
"Everything is going great. I think they are slowly starting to trust me again and I love feeling part of their family." He replied.
"Great! So I was thinking I could come over tonight and we could do something."
"Elena, you know they don't want you here for now… Give them time." Stefan replied before he turned back to the girls.
CAROLINE AND RACHEL:
Reach out and get him
If you want him to be always by your side
If you want him to only think of you
Dawn moved from her seat at the cheerleader table to a chair right next to Jeremy Gilbert.
ALL THE GIRLS:
Tell him that you're never gonna leave him
Tell him that you're always gonna love him
Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him right now
"Hey Dawn. What's up?" Jeremy asked her.
"Not much… You want to go to this dance thing with me?" she asked him.
Of course she was older than him and for a guy his age, it was just hot.
"Sure, I'd love to." He said, smiling her way.
CAROLINE:
Ever since the world began
It's been that way for man
And women were created (Girls: Ah)
"Man you must be mad that you lost Rachel now. She's hot and is going to be able to go with whoever she wants!" A senior boy taunted Tyler.
"Whatever, I'll get a hot chick to go with me." Tyler replied.
RACHEL:
To make love their destiny
Then why should true love be
So complicated, oh, yeah
Oh yeah, love was complicated but Rachel knew at the end it was worth it… But who was she going to invite to the dance? She considered asking Jeremy as a friend but she knew Dawn had her eyes on him…
CAROLINE AND RACHEL:
Oh (GIRLS: Ah)
I know something about love (Girls: Ah)
You gotta take his hand (Girls: Ah)
Show him what the world is made of (Girls: Ah)
One kiss will prove it (Girls: Do, do)
If you want him to be always by your side (Girls: Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do)
Take his hand tonight (girls: do, do, do, do)
Swallow your foolish pride
Rachel and Caroline were both having a great time singing this song and everyone could see it. Rachel also loved being in the spot light and she was surprised at how much she loved sharing it.
ALL THE GIRLS:
Tell him that you're never gonna leave him
Tell him that you're always gonna love him
"This girl is revolutionizing this school…" The principal said from the door to Alaric.
"I think it's a good thing… Change is always good once in a while." Alaric replied.
"True."
ALL THE GIRLS (Marley):
Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him right now (Oh, you have to tell him now!)
Tell him that you're never gonna leave him (Oh, yeah!)
Tell him that you're always gonna love him (Yeah!)
(Girl, you gotta to tell him right now!)
Tell him that you're never gonna leave him (Oh, yeah!)
Tell him that you're always gonna love him (Yeah!)
(Just take his hand in yours and tell him!)
Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him right now
(Just take his hand in yours and tell him!)
Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him right now (Tell him right now!)
Cheers erupted all over the school as the girls started to ask their boys.
"Matt, will you go to the dance with me?" Caroline asked her boyfriend.
"Of course Care." He replied while Rachel joined them.
For once, Matt wasn't sitting with Tyler and so Rachel decided to join them with her salad.
"So Rachel, who are you going to go to this dance with?" Caroline asked her.
"Nobody from here that's for sure… I've got an idea but I need to check if he's free first." She replied with a sparkle in her eyes.
"Do I know him?" Caroline asked.
"You know of him… You might even have seen a few pictures…" Rachel replied before Matt moved the conversation to something else.
Did you guys love this or not?
