Hanna and Emily belong to Sara Shepard and Marlene King.
The name lyric belongs to me.
Maggie walked past the room where New Directions meet and walked in to take it all on. This is where her daughter sings and dances. It's makes her sad how much of her life she's missed. She wishes to God her Brother Warren survived intensive care.
"Ms. Blake. Are you Okay?" Santana asked Chloe.
"I heard about this room, and I wanted to see it." she said to them.
"Tell me, when you heard the name, you didn't think the group was a cult." Chloe said, and Ms. Blake did ask herself that question.
"Do you sing?" Chloe asked.
"I don't think you were now the songs I know.." Ms. Blake told her, and Santana shook her head.d
"What?" Maggie asked.
"You don't know Chloe; Our dad was originally going to name her Lyric because music soothes her so much when she was small." Santana explain to the teacher..
"Try me."Chloe said to her.
"Can't take my eyes off of you." Ms. Blake said, and Chloe snickered.
"That's the best you got, Ms. Blake." Chloe said confidently and got behind the piano.
"Do you want the original uptempo version or slow it down? Do you want me to do the Lauryn Hill version?" Chloe asked, and Ms. Blake was impressed.
"Told you." Santana said.
"Slow it down for the chorus. I'll go low, Santana. Do you you want to join in and hit high? I'll try not to show you up." Ms. Blake told her.
"You're not going to." Santana said confidently.
Ms. Blake sang first, and Quinn was walking with Mercedes. You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes offa you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last, love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes offa you
Santana sings-
Pardon the way that I stare
There's nothing else to compare
The sight of you leaves me weak
There are no words left to speak
Britanny walks in on the right side with and Puck from behind Quinn
But if you feel like I feel
Please let me know that is real
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes offa you
I love you baby
And if it's quite alright
I need you baby
To warm a lonely night
I love you baby
Trust in me when I say
Maggie and Santana sings in different tempo
Oh pretty baby
Don't bring me down, I pray
Oh pretty baby
Now that I've found you stay
And let me love you.
Maggie singing that song was familiar to Quinn and appaluded at the tail end of the appaluse. Mr. Schue came in to catch the tail end.
"Very impressive, Ms. Blake." Mr. Schuster said.
"This girl here has an excellent voice, you are lucky to have her." Ms. Blake told him.
"You haven't heard everyone." Rachel came out to correct her, and the English teacher forgot Rachel is in the group. She thought she had finally gotten away from her.
"If you have a free period, you could stay here and see what the group is about." Quinn felt connected to her.
"It's good to have a female authority figure up in here that doesn't try to sabotage us." Mercedes told her.
"I'm sure Ms. Blake has other things to do." Mr. Schuster said, and Ms. Blake didn't like that insinuation.
"I wouldn't mind." Ms. Blake sat down to watch, and Mr. Schue was "happy" to have her here.
On the board, he wrote the word basics.
"This year, I want to concentrate on every aspect of the songs we sing. We have the talent, but it's the conviction of what comes out of our mouths, and so at least the whole class must perform daily. Every performance will be score towards solos and duets." Mr. Schuster and the look on Rachel's was puzzled.
"The songs don't have to be just from the '80s or 90. Some of them could be from Brittany Spears." Kurt said.
"I hate Brittany Spears. Our names are too close together. Since my name is Brittany S Pierce, I live with this burden." Brittany said, and Santana didn't realize that was the truth.
"Your assignment is to sing a song and a duet. One of them could be a song from Brittany Spears. The best song of the week will be perform at Pep Rally." Mr. Schuster told the group, and Maggie had an idea.
"May I add something?" Maggie asked, and Mr. Schuster was happy to do so.
"For those of you in English A.P class, your first paper will be non-related to the book for the first half of the semester. You pick a song and write what it means to you. The one who gets the highest grade will get extra credit points, and if Mr. Schuster agree to this cross, he will carry it over to the selection of who gets ." Ms. Blake said, and the four of them were excited.
"So let's say Rachel wins. She could keep them for herself." Kurt said.
"As I would" Rachel told them.
"May I add something to it? What if I'm behind the piano, and it's me who gets the highest grade?" Chloe asked.
"Then you could give it to anyone who participates in this first week in New Directions." Ms. Blake stopped for a moment. She realizes the name that it does sound like the name of a cult..
"Chloe's not going to win." Rachel said confidently.
"Excuse me, Berry. You have no idea." Santana told her.
"While Chloe might possess limited abilities..." Rachel said.
"Excuse me. Rachel, I've heard on ther piano, and the girl could play.." Mercedes said.
"The Bro plays those 88 keys like she invented Pianos." Puck told her.
"Everyone. Calm down." Finn gets up in front of everyone.
"We finished last, and now we have two people who would in the group who beat Vocal Adrenalin, so this could only make us stronger." Finn said to everyone.
"Well said, Finn." Mr. Schuster said to him.
"Who are you, John Madden?" Chloe asks, and Puck laugh.
"He's more like Pat Riley." Puck added.
"He's our Captain for a reason." Mr. Schuster said.
"Co-Captain." Rachel and Finn said at the same time.
It was lunch time, and Chloe was sitting at the table by herself with a notebook in front of her writing notes. They were about her assignment and pros and cons of possible songs. Santana walked up to her Sister, and the Ginger looked up as she sat down.
"You okay?" Santana asked.
"Sure." Chloe told her.
"Liar." Santana told her.
"Solomon is in the same school with the diva who wants to gain any advantage against you. I'm not that happy." Chloe said.
"It affects you. What he did was fuck up." Santana said to her.
"He'll get his, but we have to think about this week." Chloe said to her.
Brittany sat down next to Santana.
"Did you tell her?" Brittany ask.
"Britts and I want to do Me Against the Music. I want to do Back to Black for my solo." Santana told her.
"Up or down for Black?" Chloe ask.
"Same tempo as the song." Santana told her.
"What are you going to do?" Brit asked Chloe.
"I'm going to take a crack at the jewel..." Chloe empasize the nickname for the piece of music that she's not written the lyrics for still.
"I'm going to do You Don't Know me from Victorious for the paper." Chloe told them both, then Quinn and Puck sat down with Mercedes and Kurt.
"Practice was tough, and that new kid is actually good on the field." Puck said.
"He was good in New york." Chloe told him.
"Do you think the team actually has a chance of winning with him?" Quinn ask.
"To win a Football game, with him, every single game." Chloe said
"Oh damn." Mercedes had turned around and saw Rachel talking to Solomon. Chloe couldn't stop staring.
"I don't know, Leading lady. Don't you need to perform in a drama-free environment?" Solomon ask.
"You have a wonderful voice and would bring so much to Glee." Rachel told him.
"And you want to mess with the Lopezs." He said.
"Bonus." Rachel admitted.
"You evil." Solomon said, and she laughed.
"Whose evil?" Finn ask.
"Your girl is trying to pull my attention from Football by making me join New Directions." Solomon said to him, and Rachel looked at Finn with a smile.
"If Rachel believes you will be a great fit, I believe it.." Finn told him.
"She heard me sing a couple of times." Solomon told him, and he knew her true intentions.
Chloe was watching this whole exchange and was studying Finn.
"What's going through your mind?" Santana ask.
"Finn knows what she's doing. He keeps looking at her after Solomon is talking to her." Chloe said.
"You could see tell all of that from over there." Puck said
"How do you think my sniper work is great in Halo, Puck? You do remember me bailing you out." Chloe asks him, and Puck has no responds to that.
"I seem to remember that game differently. I think you would bail out a couple of times when the "controller didn't work." Quinn used the rabbit ears.
"I heard about that. My Brother uses that reason too when he has a bad game." Mercedes said, and Quinn laughs as the friends slapped hands.
"We'll see next time." Chloe told him, and Santana was oblivious as she held Brittany's hand.
That Night in Quinn's Aunt's house
The blonde was working on her paper titled Beth, and the paper would be about the song Puck sang during the pregnancy.
She wishes she could have kept Beth and regrets not trying, but something told her that it would have been a mistake. It still doesn't replace the heartache and how she can't be the power-hungry head Bitch in charge anymore. New Directions has shown real things like friendship and not being just feared isn't enough to satisfy you.
The front door opens, and her cousin Hanna walks in.
"Hey, Hanna." Quinn said.
"What are you doing?" Hanna ask.
"I'm doing a paper on what a song means the most to me." Quinn told her.
"For what class?" Hanna asked.
"English A.P." Quinn told her.
"Nice. I wish I could have done that in high school." Hanna told her. She was too busy with an unhealthy social life with her three friends.
"I have a dress upstairs you could have for Puck." Quinn smiles at the offer.
"The black one? I saw you looking at it the other day debtaing if you wanted to keep it." Quinn said to her.
"I think your friend was checking me out when she was here.": Hanna said to Quinn.
"I'm sorry about Chloe." Quinn knew who she was talking about that day.
"It's cool." Hanna told her, and there was a knock on the door.
"Hey, babe. We're going to be late." her love Emily walks inside.
"I'll be right there." Hanna said and walked upstairs.
The exchange made her miss Puck, and is stunned on how he's change. She was jealous as she also remembered how chloe was checking out Hanna in a past puck style. Quinn drove back into her paper.
She heard several howls in the distance from the outside and a couple more on top of it. She turned and saw a look of concern on Emily's face.
"Babe, you want to stay in." Emily yelled upstairs.
Santana had never been on a more beautiful date, and with the backyard with the walls around it so tall. She was dancing with Brittany.
"The dinner was really cool, Brit." Santana said.
"I saw it in a Disney movie once." Brittany told her.
"I got the reference when you push the meatball towards me with your nose." Santana said, so they danced, and the Latina couldnt help it.
In your eyes
The light, the heat (in your eyes)
I am complete (in your eyes)
I see the doorway (in your eyes)
To a thousand churches (in your eyes)
The resolution (in your eyes)
Of all the fruitless searches (in your eyes)
"Music is totally in your blood. There are small music notes in it." Brittany said, and Santana laughed because it was true.
"I'm a woman of many talents." Santana told her.
"Yes, you are." Brittany said, and they began to kiss while the song was ending. Then there was howling in the distance, and Santana was going to say something about that.
"They can't hurt us." Brittany said, and Santana scanned the walls around the yard. She just continued kissing her girl.
As they enjoy the night on the other side of town
Rachel was getting ready for bed, and she's been crying cause the feeling of constant loneliness was killing her. Her Fathers weren't home again.
Finn never seems to ask about it. Her phone rang, it was Solomon, and she stopped to pick it up.
"Hello." Rachel said.
"Hey, Leading Lady." Solomon told her.
"What are you doing still up?" Rachel ask.
"It's 930." Solomon said to her over the phone.
"I love my beauty sleep, I have nothing better to do, and I've done my homework." Rachel told her.
"I get that. The more restful, the more you spring for any solos. You want to eat, and in New York, people are hungry."He told her.
"I wanna eat?" Rachel was confused about that part of the sentence.
She went outside and looked outside to the beautiful moon in the distance.
"Wow, the moon is beautiful tonight." Rachel told Solomon over the phone.
"Is it natural for Wolves to be around residential areas?" Solomon ask.
"They don't bite." Rachel said that naturally.
"Anyway, I know you like getting into people's heads, but sometimes if you invite them to dinner. They won't notice the knife in their back." Solomon told her.
"So you think I should be nice to Chloe and Santana? Won't they think this olive branch is poison?" Rachel ask.
"You came up with poison way too quick." Solomon responded as Rachel was in love with the beautiful moon and that he had a good point.
Chloe was home on her headphone and looked outside to see the moon.
She was home alone and looked over in her closet to make sure she knew where her sword was.
