-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.
