Chapter # 5
~ Shelby's P.O.V ~
I see Rachel's name on my caller ID and my heart literally skips a beat. I wonder what she wants.
"Hello?"
"Ms. Shelby this is Rachel Berry, I am sorry to bother you at home, but hoping I could ask you for a small favor. I got your number out the school directory, I hope that was okay."
"Yes, that's fine is everything okay?" I asked slightly worried.
"Mr. Schue and I got into an argument in which I and most of the team quit. We formed our on team called the Trouble-Tones. I was wondering if you wouldn't co-coaching us with Sue."
"Coach Sue agreed to this?"
"No, which is why I was also wondering if you would convince her?"
"Okay, I'll see what I can do about Sue, but I'm in. See you at practice tomorrow."
"One more thing, Mr. Schue and I will battle it out on stage in front of the school. Team vs. Team and loser has to disband their glee club."
"Okay, when is this?"
"A few days from now."
"What? How are we supposed to get ready in a few days?"
"Because, we a multi-national's winner and Broadway Icon as our coach." She really is my daughter.
"Okay. Think of songs for everyone and show me tomorrow. I'll call Sue."
"Thanks coach." Mom would be better, but I can wait.
"You're welcome." After I hung up with Rachel, I called Sue as promised. God, I hope this goes well. I'd hate to disappoint Rachel, before I can repair our relationship.
"Who is this?"
"Really, you answer the phone like that?"
"What do you want Shelby?"
"I need you to be the Co-Coach of the Trouble–Tones glee club."
"I thought curly vest was the Coach and the group of tone-deaf losers were called the New Directions."
"This is correct, but Rachel and most of the kids quit and formed a new glee club. We battle Mr. Schue in a few days. Loser's team is disbanded. I need you Sue. No one hates Schue as much as you. Plus, it will earn me points with Rachel."
"You still haven't told Rachel that you're her mother and you're back in Lima for her?"
"Nope, I will soon I promise, help me out here."
"Okay, only if you go on a date with me."
"Are you being serious?"
"Yes, I know a power couple when I see one and baby, we will destroy everyone together!"
"What if things go wrong with us and you leave the group?"
"We can play what-if all day Shel We don't know the future, but what I do know is that I am not a quitter! Never have been and never will be! Take a chance on me Shelby."
"Okay, I go on a date with you, but we also have to keep this on the DL from the group. I need their heads focused."
"You got it."
"Meet me at the first practice tomorrow at 3:15pm."
"Sure, and I'll see you this Saturday for our date."
"Done deal see you then." I hung up the phone. Did I just agree to go on a date with Sue? Wow I did not see that coming.
~ The Next Day at Glee Club Practice ~
I walk into the room and see all the kids and Sue waiting for me. I look over at Rachel and she has a piece of paper in her hands. It appears that Sue has one too.
"Okay Rachel, did you think of any songs for the group?"
~ Rachel's POV ~
"Yes, I have thought of everything and I think I have our set list." I said, hoping everyone didn't think I was trying to control things again.
"Let's hear it and we will vote and see if the others agree." Everyone listened closely as I read the list that took me all night to come up with.
"As you know we needed 3 more people, so we recruited Sunshine, Jesse St. James and Roderick. This is what I came up with:
"With the current and new members of: Roderick, Myself, Sunshine, Jesse, Santana, Quinn, Brittany, Ryder, Kitty, Jake, Mike, Tina and Puck these are the songs I've choosing for all of us, it's songs, I think will fit our voices. Here it goes:
The Trouble Tones Set List:
Solo: Santana Song: Lightweight Artist: Demi Lovato
Duet: Jesse and Rachel Song: Listen to Your Heart Artist: Roxette
Group 1: Noah, Jake as the Leads with the boys backing them up. Song: Iridescent Artist: Linkin Park.
Group 2: Sunshine will lead with the rest of us backing her us. Song: As Long as Your There Artist: Donnie McClurkin."
"Okay, so what does everyone think? Raise your hand if you want this as our set list." Coach Shelby said and everyone raised their hands making me so happy. I was nervous that no one would like it, other than Santana who seen it last night.
"Okay, we have our set list. Well done Rachel, let's break off and practice for the rest of the meeting."
"Hold on a second, I managed to get a copy of Mr. Schue's set list." Coach Sue said.
"Did you steal that?" Coach Shelby asked Sue.
"No, the dumbass left the paper in the copier and I just made myself one. Now do you want to hear it or not." Coach Sue asked.
"No, we will win fair and square." Coach Shelby asked.
"You are no fun." Coach Sue said.
"Alright guys let's get to practicing, we need everything to be perfect for the Battle. Team Captains, I need two."
"Rachel." Jesse said.
"Santana." Brittany said.
"Okay all in favor of Santana and Rachel being the co-captains say I."
"I." Everyone shouted.
"The I's have it, your new team captains are Santana and Rachel." Everyone cheered and I was surprised but also very happy to be doing this with my girlfriend.
"Thanks again Coach Shelby and Sue for doing this for us." I said.
"Just kill it or I'll kill you!" Coach Sue said.
"Sue, you can't talk to kids that way." Coach Shelby said.
"Fine, kill it or I'll force all of you to join the Cheerios and then I'll kill you." Coach Shelby pinches the tip of her nose and shakes her head.
"We will crush them, don't worry Coach Sue." I said.
"You are better not Mini Streisand." Coach Sue said and smiled; mini Streisand I like that nickname.
"You're welcome Rachel now, go practice please." I walked over to Jesse and sit next to him.
"Well, if it isn't my beautiful best friend." Jesse said and knew he wanted something off the bat.
"What do you want Jesse?"
"Can you sing for Johnny's 5th birthday party?"
"Why can't you do it?"
"My brother says, and I quote, 'Rachel is better and she's prettier.' I was personally offended."
"He is right though."
"Oh, fuck you."
"Santana would literally kill you in your sleep, hell me too if that happened."
"No thanks, I like living thank you very much. Plus, my boyfriend wouldn't be happy about it and once again I like living and having my balls where they are."
"You are so dramatic."
"The pot calling the cattle black."
"Touché."
"Stop talking and start practicing before I have you run the school blindfolded." Coach Sue threatened us, and we immediately stop talking. I am not trying to test that theory.
~ A Few Days Later at The Battle of the Glee Clubs ~
The auditorium was filled with maybe 30 or so kids. I thought it was going to be in front of the student body, but I guess Vice Principal Holly Holiday has other things in mine. She walks out onto the stage with a microphone and says,
"Hey everyone and welcome to the Battle of the Glee Clubs. We have Shelby and Sue's Trouble Tones going up against Mr. Schue's New Directions. The Coaches must sit in the audience the entire time. Both teams will be backstage, Team captains of both teams come forward." Finn, Santana, and I walked on stage.
~ General P.O.V ~
"I'm Rachel Berry, and this is Santana Lopez and we are the Trouble Tones Captains." Rachel said.
"I'm Finn Hudson, New Directions Captain." Finn said.
"Okay, Rachel and Santana you guys will be backstage left and Finn you will be backstage right. You must stay in your assigned area. The rules are simple. Each team will perform a solo, duet, and 2 group numbers. We will do this in rounds. Round 1 will be solos, 2 will be duets, 3 will be the first group number and 4 will be the second group number. At the end I will have the kids selected earlier today vote on the winner and collect the paper that was given to them before they sat down.
Audience: After each performance, write down their name if you know it, if not then put the team's name. To win, one team must have the votes in 3 rounds. In the face of a tie, we will go into sudden death and the captains will battle. Each coach has one challenge flag and can only use it at the end. If a coach uses a challenge flag, that coach gets to force a member of his or her choosing to face a member of the opposite team in a faceoff. But here's the catch since it will be before the counting of the votes, if said coach who threw the flag loses, then opposite team gets to choose which of the 4 rounds will be eliminated. Whichever round the winning team chooses will not be counted. Coaches do you understand the rules?" Holly asked.
"Yes." Shelby and Sue said in union.
"Yes." Mr. Schue said.
"Great, Captains?"
"Yes." Rachel, Santana, and Finn said in union.
"Great, let's get this show on the road. First up is Santana Lopez with a solo from the Trouble Tones entitled Lightweight."
Everyone leaves the stage, as Santana stays on stage after glancing at Rachel as she takes a deep breath as the piano player begins, Santana opens her mouth and sings so softly and beautifully.
"The slightest words you said
Have all gone to my head
I hear angels sing in your voice
When you pull me close
Feelings I've never known
They mean everything
And leave me no choice"
Santana thinks of Rachel and sings her heart out. Rachel listen intensively with tears forming in her eyes..."
Light on my heart, Light on my feet
Light in your eyes, I can't even speak
Do you even know
How you make me weak
I'm a lightweight
Better be careful what you say
With every word I'm blown away
You're in control of my heart
I'm a lightweight
Easy to fall, easy to break
With every move my whole world shakes
Keep me from falling apart
While Santana is singing the crowd is swaying back and forth with theirs hands in the air.
Make a promise, please
You'll always be in reach
Just in case I need
You there when I call
This is all so new
Seems too good to be true
Could this really be
A safe place to fall
Light on my heart, Light on my feet
Light in your eyes I can't even speak
Do you even know
How you make me weak,
Oh whoa
I'm a lightweight
Better be careful what you say
With every word I'm blown away
You're in control of my heart
I'm a lightweight
Easy to fall, easy to break
With every move my whole world shakes
Keep me from falling apart
Keep me from falling down
Drowned in your love
It's almost all too much
Handle with care
Say you'll be there
Santana hits the high note and holds it flawlessly before continuing.
Oh, I'm a lightweight
Better be careful what you say
With every word I'm blown away
You're in control of my heart
Tina and Brittany are doing a wonderful job backing Santana up.
I'm a lightweight
Easy to fall, easy to break
With every move my whole world shakes
Keep me from falling apart
Keep me from falling apart
Keep me from falling apart, oh
Falling apart"
Santana kills it, she takes a bow before exiting the stage. She runs in Rachel's arms as Rachel openly cries as she holds her. A moment late, Finn pushes pass them and says,
"No one wants to see that shit, now move so they can call me out and I can outperform you again." Finn said.
"Just go out there and choke. All you ever do is over sale your ability. Just like when we had sex, I have to show YOU how it's done!" Rachel said, still holding Santana.
"It doesn't even matter, I fucked you and dropped you. Now Santana can have my leftovers." Finn said.
"Oh 30-second man, what you don't know is that leftovers are the best part of a meal. Oh, and you better believe I be devouring that ever single night!" Santana walks up and whispers in his ear,
"The way Rachel's dripping wet pussy tightens around my fingers, as I'm hitting it from the back, make her cum so hard." Finn has a deer caught in the headlights look on his face, and I can tell he just came in his shorts.
"Next up in this Glee Club Show Down is Finn Hudson with his solo from the New Directions entitled Stand by Me."
"Go on Finn, break a leg..." Santana says as she pushes him on stage. Finn stumbles on stage and grabs the mic...
"Oh, why you look so sad?
Tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Don't be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
Cause I've seen the dark side too
When the night falls on you
You don't know what to do
Nothing you confess
Could make me love you less
Finn sings with a soft tone, and continues.
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
So, if you're mad, get mad
Don't hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now"
A random student yells out, "Dude, is that a wet spot on your pants? Did you pee on yourself?" Finn ignores the student.
"Hey, what you got to hide?
I get angry too
Well I'm a lot like you
When you're standing at the crossroads
Don't know which path to choose
Let me come along
Cause even if you're wrong
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Take me in into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you
Some students are still laughing, thinking he pissed himself.
And when...When the night falls on you, baby
You're feeling all alone
You won't be on your own
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you and I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you,"
Finn finishes his song and rushes off stage pushes Santana passed, before she can do anything, Puck, Ryder and Jake held her back.
"He isn't worth it, San. We'll get him back later." Rachel said as Finn turns around to say,
"You will get what's coming to you! You can believe that!" Finn says he walks off to change his clothes.
"Round 1 is over, it's time for Round 2. This round deal with duets. Since Trouble-Tones went first last round, it's only fair that New Directions goes first this round." Sam and Mercedes's make their way to the front and gets ready. Mercedes turns to Rachel and says,
"This is how a REAL diva performs." Rachel just nods her head as they walked out on stage.
"Here is New Directions with Human Nature"
"{Mercedes}
Looking out
Across the nighttime
The city winks a sleepless eye
Hear his voice
Shake my window
Sweet seducing sighs
{Sam}
Get me out Into the nighttime
Four walls won't hold me tonight

Is just an apple
Then let me take a bite
{Sam and Mercedes}

{Sam}
Reaching out
To touch a stranger
Electric eyes are everywhere
See that girl
She knows I'm watching
She likes the way I stare
{Sam and Mercedes}
If they say, Why, Why,
Tell 'em that it's human nature
Why, oh why, does he do me that way

{Mercedes}
I like livin' this way
I like lovin' this way
Oh why Oh why
Looking out Across the morning
Where the city's heart begins
To beat Reaching out I touch his shoulder
{Sam and Mercedes}
I'm dreaming of the street

Why, why, tell 'em That it's human nature Why."
"That's how it's done! Take notes and learn how the Mercedes - the true Diva defeated Rachel thinks she the best singer in the world Berry. They walk off laughing. Rachel looked at her team and said,
"They are so nervous and scared, because they feel it's necessary to remind us of their talent. They want to get in our heads, throw us off our game! Are we going to let that happen?"
"No!" The group says in Union.
"We are the trouble tones, we set the tone, they don't scare us, we scare them! Now let's go out there and take what's ours!" They put their hands in and cheers one last time.
