Welcome to a new story from me. It'll be an SYOC story. You'll find more information at the end of the chapter.
Prologue:
Sarah Mitchel looked up from the exams that she was correcting when her fiance handed her a glass of wine. Never in her life, Sarah had thought that one day she would be a teacher in a small town in Ohio. She had a perfect life in California, together with her boyfriend, who got transferred to Ohio and Sarah followed him. The town in which Sarah grew up may not have been Los Angeles or San Francisco, but in comparison to Lima, Ohio it could have been a city.
It was now nearly 3 years since Sarah had moved to Lima and even though she had started to like the town, there was still something missing.
"Do you think you're able to finish these before the weekend? There's going to be a Hamilton sing-along in Columbus and it's been a while since we were at one.", Jamie her fiance asked.
He was right. It was way too long since they last saw a musical. Life had been crazy the last year. But he had given Sara a great idea. She now knew what was still missing. She only needed to convince her principal.

"Please, principal Schuester.", Sarah begged the next day, "This school needs a Glee club. Without one something is missing. And don't tell me, I'm not right. I know that there used to be one and you were its teacher. And when you were a student, you also were in one. I beg you, please let me bring the New Directions back after the summer break."
"And you also want to be captain on the Titanic, right?", principal Schuester asked Sarah. The young teacher looked perplexed at her principal.
"One of my ancestors had actually been on the Titanic..."
"I didn't want to know that. You can bring the New Directions back, but if you don't get to the Nationals, the year after there won't be any and you will never ask me for anything, unless it's something specific about your class, understood?", Principal Schuester asked and Sarah nodded eager, before leaving the office. Taking over Glee Club would mean less time with Jamie, but Sarah was sure, he would understand, after all, they met because of the Glee club.

"I heard you managed to convince Schuester to start a Glee club. Congratulation. You will never find 12 students, who are willingly be mocked by the school. And under no circumstances one of my Cheerios." Maribell Smith, Cheerleader Coach, had always been one of Sarah's enemies. The Latina believed she was better than everybody else, just because she used to cheer under Sue Sylvester and afterward had been nearly a Cheerleader for the Dallas Cowboys. For some reason it didn't happen, Maribell had gotten pregnant by her boyfriend and they got married. Since then, it was like Maribell was living her teenage dream through her cheerleaders. Sarah had the suspicion that Maribell might not be happy in her relationship and hated Sarah because of that, because Sarah is engaged to her high school sweetheart.
"I think it's admirable what you're doing." Timothy Anders, a history teacher at the William McKinley High School. Since Sarah had met the bit older man, it was clear to her, that he has a crush on her. Because he has never said anything about it, she also kept quiet. Instead, she always had given him signals, that she was in a happy relationship, even proudly showing off her engagement ring after she had gotten engaged.
"I agree with Tim. Who, if not you." Annabelle Clark, Sarah's best friend at the McKinley High, had her back with everything, no matter how crazy. It applied to most of the time only to stuff outside of school, but Belle, how she was called by Sarah, had made it clear more than once that she would do the same inside of school too.
"Yeah, just keep continuing celebrating, but believe me, Glee club won't survive it," Maribell said before she left the teachers' lounge. Sarah, on the other hand, didn't let it ruin her mood.

To her surprise, actually it hadn't been that kind of a big surprise, Jamie had been very understanding and half Sarah creating a poster for the New Directions. They had met years ago when Jamie had been to the Regionals of his sister, which had been at Sarah's school. Jamie had gotten lost and found the art room of the school, in which Sarah had been, finishing one of her art projects. The rest was history.
During the end of school year assembly, Principal Schuester announced that there would be a Glee club in the next year, the same for the beginning of the school year assembly for the 2035/36 school year. At that point, the signup cheats were already hung up around the school. Now the only thing left to do was waiting for students to sing up and actually show up to the auditions the next week.

A/N: As you can see, the story takes place 20 years after the end of Glee. The only person that stayed is Mr. Schue. Maybe one or another old Glee Character will be showing up throughout the story, but I can't promise anything. In this story, Will and Emma are divorced for a couple of years. Emma lives now in Columbus and both are in new relationships. If anyone wants to create more children, besides Daniel, for them who also want to audition for the New Directions, be my guest. I don't want any former New Directions or Warblers children, excluding Schuester's, but I would like it if anyone could do his new girlfriend and maybe her child from a previous relationship. This child also should go to McKinley High.
I'm looking for at least 12 students for the Glee Club, 2 of them should be the co-captains, but please no 2035 versions of Rachel Berry and Finn Hudson. The New Directions should all be in different grades.
Moreover, I'm looking for an HBIC, multiple bullies. They don't have to be jocks, they also can be a cheerleader. You can send in as many characters as you want, but only max. 2 for the New Directions, so that others also have the chance. If I would need more, I would contact you. The submission form will you find in my bio.
