The news of Joy's pregnancy spread across the boarding school faster than the lightening could touch down on the ground that same night. The identity of the father was also revealed, resulting in Amber and Mick's break up. And no, she and Alfie did not get together after that.
Actually, since the revelation of the pregnancy and sharing of secrets a month ago, the glee club became the tightest bunch in the entire school.
Fabian and Nina have put down their guns and decided to become friends. And they really are very close now… well, them two and Amber. They're all really close friends. Amber and Nina bonded when Amber found out about the pregnancy, even telling Nina about the Alfie thing over the summer.
"Guys?" Mr. Winkler said, expecting the choir room to be bustling with noise already. But the lights were off and it was utterly quiet, then Jason flicked the lights on, and the entire club jumped up and started a rendition of Jump by Van Halen. They rolled out a cake and a bunch of presents. Funny, Jason had forgotten it was his birthday. They finished the song and shouted, "Happy Birthday Mr. Winkler!"
Jason laughed and blew out his candles, "Thanks guys, this was great. And that song was amazing!"
"Well, we just wanted you to know how grateful we are to have you as our coach." Nina smiled.
"Yeah Mr. Wink, you're like totally the best teacher I've ever had." Amber agreed.
"Seriously," Eddie agreed his arm around Patricia. He actually got the balls to ask her out. "No matter how much of an ass I was, and you knew it too, you let me be in this club. And it's great."
"You helped us all out a lot." Fabian sighed, "And we just wanted to let you know."
"You know," Jason said, "Before I open any of these, I just want you to know that this is the greatest gift I could get."
"What?" Jerome asked.
"You guys are all happy." Jason explained, "There's no more, feuding within the club. Fabian and Nina are friends again. Amber you just seem really happy now. And everybody is just really happy."
"Hey, Mr. Winkler?" Mara mumbled.
"Yes Mara?"
"What did you wish for?" she asked.
He smiled, "I wished that all your dreams would come true. But I didn't need a wish for that, you guys are strong enough to make that happen on your own."
"And how many times will it take? Oh-Oh! How many times will it take… to get it right? To get it ri-i-ight."
Fabian smiled as Nina finished off her song, "What song?"
Nina jumped slightly, not knowing that anyone was in there with her. "Get it Right from Glee. How ironic huh?"
"Very." Fabian agreed, "What's it for?"
"Nothing, just singing you know." Nina shrugged with a smile.
"Yeah," Fabian said, "I do that in the shower a lot."
Nina laughed, "You never fail to make me laugh, Fabian."
"You never fail to hypnotize me."
"What?"
"Every time I see you I'm just… completely mesmerized." Fabian said, leaning in.
Nina was about to kiss him, then;
"We have glee Fabian. Like right now." She got up and began to walk off.
"We have five minutes!" Fabian shouted, confused and hurt.
"There's bound to be traffic in the halls!"
"As lovely as your performance was yesterday," Jason said in glee, "It was a nine, we need a ten to beat Electric Notes at Regionals. And we have Christmas break in two weeks guys! We need to prepare!"
"I'm sorry, who is Electric Notes?" Nina asked.
"They are the glee club we're up against at Regionals. They were the National champs last year." Jason sighed, "We're going to see them perform on Friday."
"National Champs?" Mara asked, "As in Champions?"
"No Mara," Jerome said sarcastically, "As in Chumps."
"They have won National's for the past five years." Jason sighed.
"Who else are we against?" Nina asked.
"Umm… the uh… Stereo Hearts." Jason laughed, "They're a new group as well."
"I love that song!" Eddie shouted throwing his fist in the air.
"I love Adam Levine." Amber smiled with a laugh.
"Guys!" Joy shouted, "Stop joking about this! This isn't a joking matter! We need to-"
"Calm down Joy." Jason sighed
"Sorry, my pregnancy hormones are out of control."
Mick smiled toward Joy, as the rest of the club laughed.
"Can me and Nina do I Feel Pretty/ Unpretty?" Amber asked.
"I've never heard that one." Jason said, a bit confused.
"It's a mash-up." Nina explained, getting up as Amber got out some stools, "Of I Feel Pretty from West Side Story and Unpretty by TLC. They did it on glee."
"And it's about a lot of things," Amber continued, "For me it's about feeling not-so-pretty when I was just another cheerleader, but now I'm a part of glee and I feel like I'm myself again. And I'm happy to announce that I quit the Cheerios."
"And for me it's about how when people threw slushies in my face and called me names, I didn't feel so pretty." Nina sighed, "But being with all of you guys, and being a part of something, made me feel special. Like, really special and I can't thank you guys enough for that."
After Nina and Amber did they're song, Mr. Winkler made his announcement.
"Guys." Jason said, "I've had an idea."
"What?"
"You guys seem a bit down, you know since I mentioned the Electric Notes, so I figured with Christmas coming up, we should really get happy. And Amber and Nina's mash-up inspired me."
"Mr. Wink," Amber said, "That wasn't exactly a happy song…"
"I know," Jason smiled, "But, we're going to mash the happiest things together. Christmas spirit and love. And kind of love, friendships, significant others. You can find Christmas songs about love or one or the other."
The club seemed to like the idea. With just a few words, they're spirits were lifted.
I know, it's been a while! But, hey, I'm back now! And look out for my new friend I love pie 2263759 who may wanna write some stories!
