-Chaoter 25-Solos already?-
-Shelby pov-
It's the best time of the year for glee clubs. You get the theme and have tryouts. I sent a email the theme would be musical. I honestly don't know what will happen.
I hope we get some people for solo tryouts though. I imagine unique will try and so will Kitty. Tina may try as well while I think of the club members. I hope Marley tries out.
Marley has a really great voice. She reminds me of Rachel and myself. She honestly could have a future in Broadway or musicals. I guess she could have a future on tv too possibly.
For now I just hope she uses her time in Glee. The school bell rings and now it's glee time. The students make their way in and I smile. I hope they all remembered about tryouts.
I'm about to get up when my fiancés come in. I smile wider as they come in smiling. I love those three so much. I can't believe how lucky I got finding them.
Two I knew from childhood. We have had a long path to getting here. I would not change any bit of it though. It has brought us closer together for sure.
Holly was newer to all of us. We love her all the same though. If you didn't know then you'd probably think she had been with us all along. We all go together so well.
"Hey" I look into judys eyes "You gonna just stare and smile or you gonna teach?"
"Option one isn't too bad" We both chuckle and I stand up "I guess I can teach"
"Let me!" Holly bounces up and down ecstatically "I wanna do it!"
"Alright" I notion toward the talking teenagers "The floor is all yours my pregnant love"
Holly gives a quick peck before stepping forward. She looks good in charge honestly. She's got happiness just radiating off of her. Lima definitely is a better place for her.
"Alright class!" Holly make sure she has everyone's attention before going on "We are doing our solo tryouts! Who has a song and wants to go first?"
"I will!" Unique is soon down by the piano "I already got the band informed!"
Holly nods with a smile and walks over to us. She stands beside me and we wait. Unique takes a deep breath before nodding. Soon the music is starting and she is singing.
-Unique singing-
God on high
Hear my prayer
In my need
You have always been there
He is young
He's afraid
Let him rest
Heaven blessed.
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home.
He's like the son I might have known
If God had granted me a son.
The summers die
One by one
How soon they fly
On and on
And I am old
And will be gone.
Bring him peace
Bring him joy
He is young
He is only a boy
You can take
You can give
Let him be
Let him live
If I die, let me die
Let him live
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home.
"Great performance! Give it up for unique!" Everyone applauds and she makes her way to her seat "Anyone else got a song?"
"I do" Blaine walks down and smiles "It's one of my favorites"
-Blaine singing-
Guess mine is not the first heart broken
My eyes are not the first to cry
I'm not the first to know
There's just no getting over you
You know I'm just a fool who's willing
To sit around and wait for you
But, baby, can't you see
There's nothing else for me to do?
I'm hopelessly devoted to you
But now there's nowhere to hide
Since you pushed my love aside
I'm out of my head
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
My head is saying, "Fool, forget him."
My heart is saying, "Don't let go.
Hold on till the end."
And that's what I intend to do
I'm hopelessly devoted to you
But now there's nowhere to hide
Since you pushed my love aside
I'm out of my head
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
"I have a question?" I look at Kitty confused and nod "Why are we doing gender swaps on songs? I mean sure hip hop does covered and such but...isn't musicals more..I dont know..sacred?"
"Plays used to have men as women during them" I see a lot of eyebrows raise "Women didn't use to be apart of them! But that is not the case anymore! We are free to sing and do as we please"
"Well I'm next" Blaine sits with a eye roll and Kitty takes his place "I'm ready for my tryout"
Oh boy, this brings back less mature Quinn flashbacks.
-Kitty singing-
I'm a girl, and by me that's only great!
I am proud that my silhouette is curvy,
That I walk with a sweet and girlish gait
With my hips kind of swivelly and swervy.
I adore being dressed in something frilly
When my date comes to get me at my place.
Out I go with my Joe or John or Billy,
Like a filly who is ready for the race!
When I have a brand new hairdo
With my eyelashes all in curl,
I float as the clouds on air do,
I enjoy being a girl!
When men say I'm cute and funny
And my teeth aren't teeth, but pearl,
I just lap it up like honey
I enjoy being a girl!
I flip when a fellow sends me flowers,
I drool over dresses made of lace,
I talk on the telephone for hours
With a pound and a half of cream upon my face!
I'm strictly a female female
And my future I hope will be
In the home of a brave and free male
Who'll enjoy being a guy having a girl... like... me.
When men say I'm sweet as candy
As around in a dance we whirl,
It goes to my head like brandy,
I enjoy being a girl!
When someone with eyes that smoulder
Says he loves ev'ry silken curl
That falls on my iv'ry shoulder,
I enjoy being a girl!
When I hear the compliment'ry whistle
That greets my bikini by the sea,
I turn and I glower and I bristle,
But I happy to know the whistle's meant for me!
I'm strictly a female female
And my future I hope will be
In the home of a brave and free male
Who'll enjoy being a guy having a girl... like... me.
"That was wonderful" Kitty gives a know it all smirk as they slowly clap "Please take your seat while our next audition comes down"
"No one could beat that" Kitty goes toward her seat "Especially fatsos offspring"
"That's enough!" I stand up and point to Kitty "There will be no bullying in this room understand me? This is a safe place for people! You will not take that away from anyone!"
"Whatever" Kitty huffs and crosses her arms "On with the show then"
I glare and then look around normal "So" Silence falls upon the room "Well I guess we have our people to disc~"
"I-I wanna try" Marley stands up "Can I tryout?"
"Absolutely" I smile and sit back down "The floor is yours"
Marley nods and makes her way forward. She walks to the band and has a short discussion. They all nod and she walks back to the front. She takes a deep breath and soon starts singing again.
-Marley singing-
You wait, little girl, on an empty stage
For fate to turn the light on
Your life, little girl, is an empty page
That men will want to write on
To write on
You are sixteen going on seventeen
Baby, itÂ's time to think
Better beware, be canny and careful
Baby, youÂ're on the brink
You are sixteen going on seventeen
Fellows will fall in line
Eager young lads and rogues and cads
Will offer you food and wine
Totally unprepared are you
To face a world of men
Timid and shy and scared are you
Of things beyond your ken
You need someone older and wiser
Telling you what to do
I am seventeen going on eighteen
IÂ'll take care of you
I am sixteen going on seventeen
I know that IÂ'm naive
Fellows I meet may tell me IÂ'm sweet
And willingly I believe
I am sixteen going on seventeen
Innocent as a rose
Bachelor dandies, drinkers of brandies
What do I know of those
Totally unprepared am I
To face a world of men
Timid and shy and scared am I
Of things beyond my ken
I need someone older and wiser
Telling me what to do
You are seventeen going on eighteen
IÂ'll depend on you
"That was great" The group applauds minus Kitty "If we have no more tryouts glee will be dismissed!"
When no one says anything we dismiss. We have a lot to decide before next club meeting. I think I know who we may be picking. We have a few choices though.
All I know is, this glee club is going to be a force to be reckoned with.
