-Chapter-41-

-Shelby pov-

"I asked you all to have a solo ready if you wanted one because of a specific reason" I point over toward Santana and Rachel "They have been suspended from competition til nationals!"

"What?!"

"I know" Everyone starts talking all at once and I try getting control back "He-hey! Hey! HEY! EVERYONE SHUT THE HELL UP!"

"HEY DUMBASSES SHUT UP! MY MOMMA HAS SOMETHING TO SAY!" Everyone goes quiet and I look over at a smiling Santana "You are able to get through to them now"

"Thank you" I turn back toward the club "The board got word and, while I explained and they accepted, they wanted them to sit out"

"So we are trying out for the part" I nod and Kurt stands up "I guess I am trying!"

"Floor is yours" I step aside as he walks to the front "Break a leg!"

-Kurt singing-

Something has changed within me

Something is not the same

I'm through with playing by the rules of someone else's game

Too late for second-guessing

Too late to go back to sleep

It's time to trust my instincts, close my eyes and leap!

It's time to try

Defying gravity

I think I'll try

Defying gravity

Kiss me goodbye

I'm defying gravity

And you won't bring me down

I'm through accepting limits 'cause someone says they're so

Some things I cannot change but 'til I try, I'll never know!

Too long I've been afraid of losing love I guess I've lost

Well, if that's love, it comes at much too high a cost!

I'd sooner buy

Defying gravity

Kiss me goodbye

I'm defying gravity

I think I'll try

Defying gravity

And you won't bring me down

Unlimited (unlimited)

My future is (future is) unlimited (unlimited)

And I've just had a vision

Almost like a prophecy

I know it sounds truly crazy

And true, the vision's hazy

But I swear, someday I'll be...

Flying so high! (defying gravity)

Kiss me goodbye! (defying gravity)

So if you care to find me

Look to the western sky!

As someone told me lately,

"Everyone deserves the chance to fly!"

I'm defying gravity!

And you won't bring me down, bring me down, bring me down!

Ah, ah

"Excellent! Who is next!" Mercedes raises her hand and I motion to the now free front "Your spot! Break a leg and have fun!"

-Mercedes singing-

I come home in the morning light

My mother says, "When you gonna live your life right?"

Oh, mamma, dear, we're not the fortunate ones

And girls—they wanna have fun

Oh, girls just wanna have fun

The phone rings in the middle of the night

My father yells, "What you gonna do with your life?"

Oh, daddy, dear, you know you're still number one

But girls—they wanna have fun

Oh, girls just wanna have

That's all they really want

Some fun

When the working day is done

Oh, girls—they wanna have fun

Oh, girls just wanna have fun

Girls—they wanna

Wanna have fun

Girls wanna have

Some boys take a beautiful girl

And hide her away from the rest of the world

I wanna be the one to walk in the sun

Oh girls they wanna have fun

Oh girls just wanna have

That's all they really want

Some fun

When the working day is done

Oh, girls—they wanna have fun

Oh girls just wanna have fun,

Girls—they wanna

Wanna have fun

Girls wanna have

They just wanna

They just wanna

Girls

Just wanna

Girls just wanna have fun

They just wanna

Girls just wanna have fun

Just wanna

Just wanna

They just wanna

They just wanna

When the working day is done

Everybody

They just wanna

"Excellent!" She makes her way back and Noah walks to the front "I need a break a leg button"

-Noah singing-

I can't stand to fly

I'm not that naive

I'm just out to find

The better part of me

I'm more than a bird, I'm more than a plane

I'm more than some pretty face beside a train

And it's not easy to be me

Wish that I could cry

Fall upon my knees

Find a way to lie

About a home I'll never see

It may sound absurd, but don't be naive

Even heroes have the right to bleed

I may be disturbed, but won't you concede

Even heroes have the right to dream

And it's not easy to be me

Up, up and away, away from me

Now it's all right, you can all sleep sound tonight

I'm not crazy

Or anything

I can't stand to fly

I'm not that naive

Men weren't meant to ride

With clouds between their knees

I'm only a man in a silly red sheet

Digging for kryptonite on this one way street

Only a man in a funny red sheet

Looking for special things inside of me

Inside of me

Inside me

Inside me

Inside of me

I'm only a man

In a funny red sheet

I'm only a man

Looking for a dream

I'm only a man

In a funny red sheet

And it's not easy

No, it's not easy to be me

Me

"That was great!" I stand up before anyone else can go "Does anyone have a song ready that speaks to them? One that you have never sung before or that means something to you? Like it is apart of your soul!"

"It sounds like you want a ballad!" I nod and Finn stands up "I got the one!"

"Let's see it!" I sit back down "Break a leg and have fun! Sing out form your soul!"

-Finn singing-

Big girl, you are beautiful

Walks into the room

Feels like a big balloon

I said, 'Hey, girl, you are beautiful.'

Diet Coke and a pizza please

Diet Coke, I'm on my knees

Screaming, 'Big girl, you are beautiful.'

You take your skinny girl

I feel like I'm gonna die

'Cause a real woman

Needs a real man here's why

You take your girl

And multiply her by four

Now a whole lot of woman

Needs a whole lot more

Get yourself to the Butterfly Lounge

Find yourself a big lady

Big boy, come on around

And they'll be calling you baby

No need to fantasize

Since I was in my braces

A watering hole

With the girls around

And curves in all the right places

Big girl, you are beautiful

Big girl, you are beautiful

Big girl, you are beautiful

Big girl, you are beautiful

Walks in to the room

Feels like a big balloon

I said, 'Hey girls you are beautiful.'

Diet Coke and a pizza please

Diet Coke, I'm on my knees

Screaming, 'Big girl you are beautiful.'

You take your girl

And multiply her by four

Now a whole lot of woman

Needs a whole lot more

Get yourself to the Butterfly Lounge

Find yourself a big lady

Big boy, come on around

And they'll be calling you baby

No need to fantasize

Since I was in my braces

A watering hole

With the girls around

And curves in all the right places

"NO!" Rachel cringes as she wheels to the front "You need to sing from the heart! We have to do something no other club has done...I vote we do original songs! The best one gets to do the solo!"

"I like it!" Mercedes smiles in her seat "I can prove I am the best!"

"Is everyone on board?" The majority nod and I shrug "I guess we are doing original songs! You have till the competition! Do not make me regret this! Club dismissed!"

I listen to the kids talk as they leave and sigh. This is going to be a major shit show.

Just a little filler chapter.
