-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
Big girl, you are beautiful
Big girl, you are beautiful
Big girl, you are beautiful
Big girl, you are beautiful
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
Oh, you are beautiful
Get yourself to the Butterfly Lounge
Find yourself a big lady
Big boy, come on around
And they'll be calling you baby

"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.
