-Chapter 44-
-Shelby pov-
"We need a bigger house!" I look up from my desk confused "Theres not enough space with everyone"
"You do realize there's other people in the house besides me right?" Judy nods and sits down in a chair "Don't you have the 'power'?"
Judy glares at me "Watch it" I roll my eyes and she keeps the glare on me "Do you think everyone would move?"
"Yes" I sigh and look at Judy "Why do we have to move?"
"Everyone deserves a room right?" I nod and Judy goes on "Dave slept on the couch last night to give Cherry space cause WE forgot he took the extra room!"
I nod again "You're right" I sigh and turn to my computer "Let's get a plan together to show the others"
Judy walks over with the chair and looks with me. I really don't wanna move but if it's what's best then ok.
-Time skip-
Glee has started and I'm already exhausted. I had the song choices for the solo and duet ready today. But I just feel like going to sleep. The house search was almost a bust. We did find a few that could work. I am watchin the kids talk from the front.
I look over and see Judy out of it. I turn and look at Maribel talking with Holly. I smile at the fact they are getting along now. I turn back to the club and stand up.
"Alright" I clap for their attention "I have the song choices for the solo and duet! First up can our soloist come up?"
"Actually" Dave slowly walks up "I have a song choice already in mind"
"Ok" I smile and motion to the piano "We are all ears"
Dave nods and walks to the piano. He takes a deep breath and starts playing. I smile when I recognize what it is.
-Dave singing-
Glitter and be gay,
That's the part I play;
Here I am in Paris, France,
Forced to bend my soul
To a sordid role,
Victimized by bitter, bitter circumstance.
Alas for me! Had I remained
Beside my lady mother,
My virtue had remained unstained
Until my maiden hand was gained
By some Grand Duke or other.
Ah, 'twas not to be;
Harsh necessity
Brought me to this gilded cage.
Born to higher things,
Here I droop my wings,
Ah! Singing of a sorrow nothing can assuage.
And yet of course I rather like to revel,
Ha ha!
I have no strong objection to champagne,
Ha ha!
My wardrobe is expensive as the devil,
Ha ha!
Perhaps it is ignoble to complain...
Enough, enough
Of being basely tearful!
I'll show my noble stuff
By being bright and cheerful!
Ha ha ha ha ha! Ha!
Pearls and ruby rings...
Ah, how can worldly things
Take the place of honor lost?
Can they compensate
For my fallen state,
Purchased as they were at such an awful cost?
Bracelets...lavalieres
Can they dry my tears?
Can they blind my eyes to shame?
Can the brightest brooch
Shield me from reproach?
Can the purest diamond purify my name?
And yet of course these trinkets are endearing,
Ha ha!
I'm oh, so glad my sapphire is a star,
Ha ha!
I rather like a twenty-carat earring,
Ha ha!
If I'm not pure, at least my jewels are!
Enough! Enough!
I'll take their diamond necklace
And show my noble stuff
By being gay and reckless!
Ha ha ha ha ha! Ha!
Observe how bravely I conceal
The dreadful, dreadful shame I feel.
Ha ha ha ha!
"Good song and a good Broadway musical" I give him a genuine smile "Thank you and you can use that for Regionals"
He smiles wide and walks back to his chair. Everyone claps and he gets some back pats. I smile and sit down my solo song list. None of them probably fit him actually. I look over the duet list and then back at the duo.
"I know you secretly are musically inclined Tina" She gives a shy smile "What did you have in mind?"
"Since it seems to be Broadway I got one" Tina stands up and drags Mike with her "We've practiced it before!"
-Mike-Tina-Both-
I got chills, they're multiplying
And I'm losing control
'Cause the power, you're supplying
It's electrifying
You better shape up, 'cause I need a man
And my heart is set on you
You better shape up, you better understand
To my heart I must be true
Nothing left, nothing left for me to do
You're the one that I want
(You are the one I want)
Ho, ho, ho honey
You're the one that I want
(You are the one I want)
Ho, ho, ho honey
You're the one that I want
(You are the one I want)
Ho, ho, ho, the one that I need
Oh yes indeed
If you're filled with affection
You're too shy to convey
Meditate in my direction
Feel your way
I better shape up, 'cause you need a man
I need a man who can keep me satisfied
I better shape up, if I'm gonna prove
You better prove that my faith is justified
Are you sure? Yes I'm sure down deep inside
You're the one that I want
(You are the one I want)
Ho, ho, ho honey
You're the one that I want
(You are the one I want)
Ho, ho, ho honey
You're the one that I want
(You are the one I want)
Ho, ho, ho, the one that I need
Oh yes indeed
You're the one that I want
(You are the one I want)
Ho, ho, ho honey
You're the one that I want
(You are the one I want)
Ho, ho, ho honey
You're the one that I want
(You are the one I want)
Ho, ho, ho, the one that I need
Oh yes indeed
You're the one that I want
(You are the one I want)
Ho, ho, ho honey
You're the one that I want
(You are the one I want)
Ho, ho, ho honey
You're the one that I want
(You are the one I want)
Ho, ho, ho, the one that I need
Oh yes indeed
You're the one that I want
(You are the one I want)
Ho, ho, ho honey
You're the one that I want
"Excellent!" I clap and everyone else joins in "Sounds like we got a pretty well set up list!"
"Uh mom?" I look over at Rachel "Can we practice the Group song?"
"Uh" I look up at the clock "It was supposed to be a short meeting but sure!"
She smiles and the group step down. Maribel pops in the cd cause we haven't practiced with the band yet.
-Rachel-Lucy -Brittany-Blaine-Sam-Sugar -All-
I've been cheated by you since I don't know when
So I've made up my mind, it must come to an end
Mmm, look at me now, will I ever learn?
I don't know how, but I suddenly lose control
There's a fire within my soul
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything, oh whoa
Mamma mia, here I go again
My, my, how can I resist ya?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My, my, just how much I've missed ya
Yes, I've been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, now I really know
My, my, I could never let you go
I've been angry and sad
About things that you do
I can't count all the times
That I've told you we're through
And when you go, when you slam the door
I think you know that you won't be away too long
You know that I'm not that strong
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything, oh whoa
Mamma mia, here I go again
My, my, how can I resist ya?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My, my, just how much I've missed ya
Yes, I've been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, even if I said
Bye, bye, leave me now or never
Mamma mia, it's a game we play
Bye, bye, doesn't mean forever
Mamma mia, here I go again
My, my, how can I resist ya?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My, my, just how much I've missed ya
Yes, I've been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why(Why)
{Did I ever let you go}
Mamma mia (Mamma Mia)
Now I really know
{My, my}
I could never let you go (Oh!)
Whoa oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh
Mamma Mia!
"Sounds good but still needs work" Everyone smiles and nods "Let's end the meeting here for today and work on it all next time!"
Everyone cheers and walks out the door. I look back to see Judy glaring. I follow her line of sight and growl. I watch as Holly feels Maribel's arm and then walk away.
"What's wrong?" Maribel smirks "I thought you wanted us to get along?"
She sways her hips as she walks out. I look at Judy angry cause it was her idea. She rolls her eyes at me and we walk out of the room. We can talk about all of that later.
-Time skip-
We get home and get everyone sitting in the living room. I start to stand up when Judy walks in with a board. I look at her confused and slowly walk up to her.
"Uhhh" I look at the board "What's this?"
"Selling point!" Judy turns to the family "We all know we don't have space here! SOOO! We looked around and found TWO really good ones!"
Judy moves the cover sheet "I hated that one" She rolls her eyes and I look at the family "We all need to agree on it"
Everyone takes some time to walk up and judge the houses. I look and see Judy look nervous. I look at the board and sigh. She switched the info around.
"The house info has been swapped" Judy looks shocked "Don't lie"
"We figured that out I think" We both turn to the family "We have come up with our vote though"
"We would all like the right one" Maribel stands up "It'll give more space and Dave a bathroom to be a guy"
"Should've known I'd lose on that" I look over at Judy "Go make the call"
She smiles and runs off. I smile watching her and then sit down. We all have light conversation about moving to another house.
I honestly hope this is the right call. I think it is for space but I don't know. Everything seems to bite back at us. I hope this isn't one of those things.
These kids deserve a nice break.
