Hi again! So here's the first chapter taking place in the episode "Child Star". I apologize for the shortness of it but I found the point where I ended it a good place to stop and work on the next chapter. Hopefully you like it and once again thank you for reading and reviewing!
With Kurt on his honeymoon with Blaine, Rachel and Jesse have been left alone to handle the Glee Club, with the help of Will. With only two weeks left they're trying to prepare for sectionals when Sue enters the room.
"Everyone needs to be in the auditorium in five minutes," she announces before quickly going to her office. They all start making their way to the auditorium, Will leading them, while Rachel and Jesse walk a bit slower.
"Any idea what this is about?" Jesse asks, holding Rachel's hand.
"Not a clue. But did you notice that Sue seemed to be a bit nervous?" Rachel points out.
"Yeah, I did. In the minimal contact I've had with the woman, she appears to never get nervous," Jesse says.
"It sounds like someone else I know," she says stopping outside the auditorium to smirk at him.
"Wow, I cannot believe you remember that," he chuckles.
"Of course I do. It's not every day you meet a cute guy who can sing in a music store and get told that he is incapable of getting nervous," she tries to say in a serious tone but ends up bursting out in laughter. Jesse joins her as well remembering exactly how nervous he way.
"You may have not realized this because I had perfected my show face by that point but I was absolutely terrified," he admits.
"Really?" she asks, with amusement.
"Really. I was meeting the girl who knocked Barbra out of the water and was the talk of the show choir world. Of course I was nervous," he states.
She can't help but lean up to kiss him at how sweet he's being.
"We should really get inside before Sue has our head," he says smiling.
They both make their way in and sit down next to Will.
"Glee Club, William, Frodo, Marvelous Marvin," Sue starts with Jesse laughing at his 'nickname' and Rachel rolling her eyes at hers. "This fine young man standing next to me is superintendent Harris's only nephew, Mr. Myron Muskovitz," Sue says introducing the boy.
"Hey," Myron says almost timidly
"Myron is about to celebrated the most important day in a Jewish boy's life: his bar mitzvah," Sue explains and Rachel is touched by hearing this.
"And I'm putting on a show," Myron tells them
"Myron will be performing a little musical number at his bar mitzvah party and he would very much appreciate it if you all could give him any pointers. And did I mention he's the superintendent's nephew?" Sue points out. She walks off the stage and leaves Myron to perform
"Okay, so this is just rehearsal, so be kind," Myron tells them.
"Kind isn't my thing," Jesse mutters under his breath and Rachel hits him.
"Hush, he's just a little boy try to keep your critiquing to a low," Rachel whispers to him.
"If I do that how do expect him to improve?" Jesse asks as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
Before she can respond Myron grabs their attention.
"Lights!" Myron yells startling everyone.
The curtain goes up and he begins to perform "Lose My Breath" which leaves everyone, including Jesse in a state of shock. Once the number ends everyone gives him a shocked applause.
"That was amazing. Myron you are very talented," Rachel is the first to speak
"Oh, thank you, Miss Berry. I'm a huge fan, so that means the world to me. But here's the rub. I want my bar mitzvah to be perfect. Not good, not great—perfect. How can improve this number? Seriously, give me notes. Anything," Myron says. The others are speechless until Jesse decides to speak his mind.
"Your singing can use some improvement," he begins and everyone stares at him. "If you get someone to train you vocally you can improve vastly and you're at a good age to begin. That will take time which you don't have before your bar mitzvah so you'll be fine for now. Your dancers however were a bit off temp and need to learn how to use their show faces to convey some type of emotion besides fatigue and that is something that can be fixed by your bar mitzvah," Jesse tells him, leaving everyone speechless.
"Okay, exactly. I-I already told them that," Myron starts and turns to the dancers. "I already told you that! What's wrong with you people? You know, I thought I hired professionals, but obviously, I was mistaken. You're fired! Get off this stage! Now, bitches!" Myron yells at the dancers who run off the stage. Everyone is shocked except for Jesse who is smirking. "May I speak with the adults, please?" Myron asks.
"Do anything he asks," Sue whispers to the adults as she gets up to meet Myron on stage. The Glee members leave the auditorium and Will, Rachel and Jesse are still in their seats.
"He's crazy but I kind of like him," Jesse says as Will and Rachel look at him in disbelief. "Look he's got what he needs to survive this cutthroat business and don't tell me you weren't the same way Berry," Jesse challenges.
"I was but…" Rachel starts but is unable to continue.
"Look, let's just go talk with him," Will says standing up. Jesse and Rachel slowly stand up as well but Rachel stops as they get to the end of the row.
"If we ever have children we are never letting them get this bad," Rachel mutters without thinking.
"Ch…children?" Jesse stammers out, shocked by what she just said.
Rachel turns around to face him in horror, realizing she said this out loud. Blushing she quickly makes her way to the stage, ignoring Jesse. Myron tells them that he wants them to do his opening act and Sue makes them agree. Jesse tries to talk to Rachel afterwards but she makes sure to avoid him.
