-Chapter 51- Of Scares and Dates-

-Maribel pov-

I'm still behind by 15 points. She got a cheeky 19 but that's also her loss. Quinn and Rachel aren't to happy about being backstabbed. The plan was supposed to commence yesterday but well...yeah. So today is the day!

In about 2 minutes the bell will ring. 3 minutes after that I will speed down the hall using Santana's back up chair. Quinn and Rachel should have gotten everyone to their lockers by then. I will wheel and record every Glee kids lockers exploding out a screaming clown face with water. It's a fool proof plan.

In 3...2...1! I get in the chair and start wheeling quickly down the hall. I smirk as I see the kids getting to the lockers. My smirk vanishes when they look at me. They turned their backs on me! I try to stop the breaks but can't and I wheel head first toward a dancing skeleton. I scream and turn the chair to another hall.

I feel like I'm safe until I get scared by a clown walking toward me. I turn again and wheel toward the glee room. It takes a little but I reached it...then I fly off the chair and land on a mat. I look up and see two bodies on tables. I get up and see the bodies covered in a sheet. I slowly walk toward them and stop a little ways away.

I go to touch one when they sit up. It's the clown and skeleton! I jump and scream as they slowly get up. The clown laughs as they approach me. I fall backwards and land on the mat. Wait a minute that laugh is familiar...

"QUINN?!" The clown breaks out laughing and then so does the skeleton "RACHEL?! Did Santana put you up for this?"

Quinn shakes her head "We found out you rigged our lockers too" She smirks and looks at me "So we found quick pathways to here and turned it on you!"

"We are tied on scares by the way" I look at Rachel confused "Oh we want something out of this too"

"Fine by me" I stand up smirking "Just know you unleashed hell on earth!"

I turn to walk out and a bat falls down making me scream. I turn and glare when I see both girls holding up one hand with all fingers up. I shake my head and walk out of the room. How did I get that far behind with a week left?...Oh yeah my teammates turned on me. Back to the drawing boards.

-Santana pov-

I'm setting up a scare prank for the club in the auditorium currently. Alex said it was alright. We have all the books in order and didn't have anything else to do. We already talked about her date this morning. I came here when I knew no one would be here. I just wanted to be sure I'd get away with this.

I hear footsteps and I quickly look around. I see no one and so I go back to my scare. I start to forget the steps when the lights go out. I look around and see nothing. Well it is dark so no duh there. I feel my heart racing some and then it clicks.

"Ha Ha mom" the backstage lights flicker and I slowly step toward the area. I walk slower when the light turns off "Mom?"

The light comes on and I freeze. In the backstage doorway there's a all black figure. I take a deep breath and slowly sneak up on them. No one is ruining my win! I get to where they are and pull down the hood...Its a mannequin. I look at it confused and then stiffen. There's deep breathing happening behind me. I gulp and slowly turn around.

"RAAAAWWWWWWWWWWR!" I jump at the wolf-person behind me "HAHAHAHAHAHA! I-I g-ha-got you!"

"Brittany?" I put a hand over my heart as she nods and takes off the mask "Y-you did this?"

She nods "I want something too and if I win I can get it!" She smirks at me "You're not the only scary girlfriend"

"Well what do we have here?" We both go wide eyed and slowly turn to see a clown smiling at us "Two out of class kids? Looks absolutely scrumptious!"

"Hahaha!" We jump when a skeleton pops up "I'd run if I were you! I was the last girl that was out of class back here!"

We both scream and take off. We don't get to far when we run into plastic wrap across the doorway. We both step back groaning and then remember why we ran. We turn and look to see the clown and skeleton losing it on the ground. Those laughs sound familiar...

"We got scared by our girlfriends!" Brittany looks at me confused and I point to the duo "Listen to the laugh when It breaks character"

She does and then pouts "Dang it Rachey!" They both stand up and walk toward us smiling "You two are good actors"

"Thank you princess" Rachel gives her a kiss then leaves some white and black on her face "We are at seven points now!"

"What four did you scare?" They share a smirk to each other and I feel the air leave me "You didn't"

"We did!" Quinn chuckles "We got Mari with four different scares!"

"NO!" they look at me confused and I groan "We are all dead meat now!"

"You've never been more correct" We all jump and look to see Mom smirking "Glee has been...canceled for my date"

We all watch her walk away and look at each other "Why did she say it like that?" I shake my head at Rachel and sigh "What?"

"This scare off just ramped up" I start walking to the backstage door "You best believe we are doomed"

-Time skip-Marbel pov-

"Alright" I turn to the girls in the back "Who's getting her?"

"Paper, rock, scissors?" Judy puts her hand out and shrugs "Seems to work for kids"

I roll my eyes with a smile and stick my hand out. Shelby does the same and we do a quick round. Judy wins and gets out of the car happily. After a few minutes Judy brings the lovely looking Alexandria out to the car. She opens the door and Alex sits in the passenger seat with a nervous smile.

"We make you nervous?" She nods and I grab her left hand "You'll be just fine"

She gives me a less nervous smile and I start the car back up. I pull away from her house and head to the restaurant. Olive Garden isn't the fanciest place but It's nice. I don't wanna scare her away with money just yet.

I frown though when I get there and its full. All of my back up places are full and I sigh. I share a look with the girls and see them frown. They know I didn't wanna go there. I drive and pull up to Vegan Kingdom of Lima. I see her jaw drop as I pull into a open spot. Shelby helps her out of the car and I get pulled back by Judy.

"Message Frank" I nod and pull out my phone to shoot Frank a quick text "We can't do subtle now"

I look at Judy confused and see her point. I follow her finger toward Shelby, Alex, and...Frank. SHIT! I jog over with Shelby and He smiles up at me.

"I thought I told you to message the next time you came!" He puts a hand on Alex's shoulder "This ones a keeper"

"Fraaaannnnnnk!" Alex moves away from him with a sigh "Don't embarrass me!"

"You two know each other?" I look at Shelby and see her face shocked "What happened to her?"

Frank chuckles "Alexandria here is my niece fresh out of college!" I look at them shocked and hear Judy chock on air "You didn't tell them?"

"Not yet" Alex nervously scratches her arm "I'm twenty-four"

"Why don't I get you all a private table?" I look at Frank still trying to reel everything in "It's on the house"

We all follow him in to one of the best tables in the place. It's secluded which right now is good. We are out with a twenty year old! A twenty year old thinks I am good looking though. I sigh as we all sit down and silence takes over. This isn't going how I hoped.

I look at everyone and see Alex is the most nervous. She looks ready to faint. I think Shelby realizes that too. Shelby slowly scoots closer and puts a arm around her. She whispers something and soon they both do breathing exercises. After a few minutes Shelby whispers again and Alex nods.

"I don't want me being young to push you all away" Alex sighs and looks at the table "I just got scared it would"

"I for one can't believe a girl your age wants us" The girls nod and I continue "You're so young and beautiful! You could have anyone!"

"I don't want anyone" She looks up at us with a small smile "I want you all"

"Then you can have us if the date goes well ok?" She looks at Judy with hope filled eyes "So! Let's get this date on the road?"

We all nod and Frank comes back with menus. Everything goes really well from then on. There's questions, conversation, and laughter. It was a tremendous date and I know she'll fit in just fine with us! She was pretty much just like one of us.

"Hey M?" I look up at Frank who motions me to him "Come here please?"

I nod and walk over to him "You ok?" He looks around before nodding "Frank?"

"Alex is a troublesome kid" He sighs and goes on "She became a Librarian to stay away from everything...Please keep her out of trouble and have her move in"

"You know I'd do anything for your family" He nods and I put a hand on his shoulder "What else is wrong?"

"I may not be around for much longer" I look at him confused and worried "My cancer has come back"

"Frank I can he~"

"You helped too much last time" He gives me a smile "This time I need to fight it on my own"

I sigh "If you need any help let me know" He nods and we both look at Alex "She doesn't know does she?"

"Please keep it that way?" I look at him and see he's serious "I don't wanna worry her about her last relative"

"Alright" We share a big hug "I love you Big bear"

"I love you Little bear" We pull apart and he nods toward my table "Go enjoy your night"

I nod and go back to he group. We finish up everything and eventually head to the car. I take Alex up at the end of the night. I look at the girls who nod and look back at Alex.

"Its unanimous" She looks at me confused "You're with us now sweetie"

"REALLY?!" I nod and she hugs me "THANK YOU!"

The girls get hugs too before we head home. I think they knew I had something on my mind when we got home. Thankfully they didn't ask and held me when I cried. I don't know when I fell asleep but I did still crying.

I don't wanna lose my big bear.
