Santana woke up to the annoying sound of her alarm clock blaring the generic alarm. It was one of the days that the Cheerios had the dreaded early morning practice. Getting up, the first thing she knew she had to do was send the hobbit a message. She figured it was a rule when trying to woo someone to constantly send them good morning messages that are sappy as shit. Waiting for her laptop to power up she went into the kitchen to get the most important thing in the world, the essence of her being, coffee. Coffee was simply the only thing that got her through the day, and she was sure she was going to need all the energy she could hope to continue catfishing Manhands. In the time it took for the ancient laptop to boot up completely, the Cheerio was able to make herself a delicious scrambled egg and get dressed in her pristine uniform.
From her window, Santana saw Quinn's car pull up and knew she couldn't put as much time as she would like. Well, a simple message was better than nothing, the girl figured.
Second_Star_2_the_right: Good morning, Tinkerbell.
Quinn honked the horn and Santana knew she needed to get her ass to Quinn's car if she didn't want to walk all the way to school. It would take about 30 minutes to walk to school and it wasn't worth it because, Coach Sylvester would definitely make all of the Cheerios do at least 8 laps around the track.
Rachel was just waking up after one of the most peaceful and content night of sleep in a long time. It was 6:00am -as usual- and she was ready and energized for the day. The glee club was planning to perform a recruiting number at the assembly. It was entirely likely that no one with talent to match hers would join, but that was okay, they just needed people who could hold a tune and sway in the background.
Rachel got up and dragged herself to her elliptical and grabbed her phone, as a notification popped up on her laptop. Deciding that missing out on the 5 minutes of exercise wouldn't completely mess up her daily routine, she cautiously opened the notification, expecting it to be another heinous message from the Cheerios. She, however, was pleasantly surprised that it was Second_Star_2_the_right instead. She smiled, it was quite nice to wake up to a considerate message rather than a message telling her to kill herself. Ever since Monday, when she joined glee club, the Cheerios were starting to get more and more vicious. The sounds of her fathers waking up brought her out of her inner monologue enough for her to respond.
Star_In_Training: Good morning, mysteriously talented singer who, should join glee.
Rachel knew she sounded pretty desperate, but in order to get to be the best show choir, she needed glee club to host semi talented singers. She knew that the mystery person had probably more talent than the other 5 members currently in glee. Quickly, she got dressed and grabbed a piece of toast and ran out the door, hoping to make up for her missing her valuable elliptical time.
A rather important glee club meeting was called, getting all the members together in the choir room to practice for their big recruiting number. As usual, Mr. Schue was not on time. You would think that the man who was so adamant about revamping the program, would try to be on time, especially considering the fact that this meeting could be detrimental to the glee club's future.
"Okay, everybody, at today's assembly we are doing some of the best music around, to inspire some people to join this wonderful coalition of voices." Everyone in the room was buzzing with excitement, all imagining what they could possibly be singing. Mercedes was hoping for a powerful song that she could belt out, preferably by Aretha. Kurt and Rachel set their sights on a moving Broadway classic that could fully demonstrate their impressive vocal range. "We are paying tribute to one of the best genres ever, disco!" The glee club fully deflated after the news. Mr. Schue completely disregarded the club's obvious discomfort and passed out the sheet music to an awfully cheesy disco song. Everyone in the club was freaking out, Artie was wheeling around in circles and Tina was trying to form a coherent rebuttal, but Mr. Schuester was blatantly ignoring the club's complaints.
In a fit of rage Rachel dropped the sheet music and was going to pick it up when, Finn chivalrously picked it up for her. Finn was so thoughtful and charming considering, about 90% of the school's population would pick it up and throw it directly into the trash can. Seeing Finn's worried expression, Rachel decided to stay after and confront the dreamy quarterback.
"Hello Finn, you seemed to be awfully uncomfortable performing disco. Is there any way I could help you? My musical skills are quite versatile so, I could always help you hit those notes that you fell flat on." Through her tirade Finn simply looked like he was imitating a rock, his face completely devoid of emotion.
"Uhh… I just don't feel comfortable doing disco. I have a reputation as quarterback to keep up and I'm going to get so much crap from my teammates." A plan began to form in Rachel's mind. Her plan was well thought out and she knew it was sure to make Finn see her in a brand new light.
"How about we make some flyers, displaying some of the awesome feats accomplished by modern music artists. Your chromosomally challenged friends might not give you an ice cold slushie bath." Finn seemed excited about the idea, at least this way some of his teammates wouldn't completely trash him.
Santana, along with Quinn was on her way to the teacher' lounge to pick up some Cheerios' flyers when, she -out of the corner of her eye- saw the boyfriend stealing hobbit and Quinn's oaf of a boyfriend attempting to make copies on Coach Sylvester's personal copier. Poking Quinn's side, she all but dragged her by uniform so, they were right by the duo.
"Q, look what we found. A main stealing hobbit pulling around your boyfriend. What are you going to do about it?" Santana loved to antagonize Quinn, it was fun to see how angry she could make her before she blows her top
"Listen here Santana, I am not a 'man stealer'. Unlike some I'm not a girl who throws herself at every guy even if he is taken. I'm simply trying to be a good teammate to poor Finn. Finn needed a boost to his confidence due to the fact, that he goes to school with a bunch of Neanderthals and has to deal with an unsupportive relationship." Santana would be lying if she wasn't at least mildly impressed at the hobbit's attitude. The moment of Santana being impressed was over quick due to the fact that, Rachel was now meekly hiding from Quinn behind Finn.
"Ooohh… Manhands has claws today! What do you say we declaw her, Q?" Quinn was a vibrant red, barely keeping herself from putting her Cheerio's training to use and beating up the stupid midget. Before anything exciting could come from the encounter, Coach Sylvester's signature walk could be heard in the hallway closest to teachers' lounge. The two Cheerios knew better than to be caught in there by their coach, the other two, however, were not so lucky and got caught by an enraged Sue Sylvester.
The two Cheerios started to laugh at the misfortune that befell the whiny troll. Santana thought back to the encounter and caught herself wondering about what put the petite diva in such a combative mood, whatever it was, she was glad for it, she could now get the chance to terrorize the diva for revenge.
"So, Barbie, what are we going to do to Loudmouth? She can't get away with what she said. Someone may have heard her so, her actions cannot go unpunished.
"Don't call me that! Berry is going to get what's coming to her. I'm thinking of a nice cold rainbow hallway slushie attack." Santana just nodded her head, there was no point in talking to Quinn when she was in her kill/destroy mode.
The rest of the day was rather calm, that was until Santana and Quinn entered the classroom that Celibacy club was held in and saw that the only one in there was, the one and only, Rachel Berry. Quinn instantly went on attack mode and started berating the girl.
"What are you doing here? Did you mistake this room from the choir room?! Leave before you get your loser stink all over the room! We have to be in this room for an hour and I don't feel like I can deal with you for an hour." At the end of Quinn's threatening statement, Santana decided that she was officially bored and she decided to have a little bit of fun. Santana signed onto Myspace on her phone and decided to message Rachel. Santana was quite stealthy when it came to being on her phone as, no one noticed it when the rest of the Celibacy club members flooded in.
Second_Star_2_the_right: So, any chance I could get a sneak peek of what song you will be singing today?
Santana almost laughed at how fast the reply came. The girl must be as bored as she was and was just waiting for something exciting to happen.
Star_In_Training: Sorry, that would be unfair to all my other adoring fans ;)
This time Santana did let out a small chuckle that, was thankfully undetected in the loud atmosphere of the club.
Second_Star_2_the_right: Aww… and here I was hoping that I was special. Oh well… I wait eagerly for your next performance. Signed, Your Biggest Fan (Someone who is definitely not joining glee club)
Moments later came another reply, one that Santana did not see coming.
Star_In_Training: You are special.
Before Santana could muster out a reply Berry was starting to get up and partner with her creepy stalker, Jewfro. Santana would find pleasure in her uncomfortableness if, Puck would stop thrusting the balloon.
Finally, a voice rang out.
"Want to know a secret that all of them don't want you to know?" Nobody answered the obvious rhetorical question. "Girls want sex just as much as boys do!" Santana was shocked, did that really come from the hobbit's mouth? Santana couldn't help herself and muttered wanky as Rachel left the classroom in a huff. Santana just stared at her retreating form while, Quinn was left wide eyed and speechless till, Santana heard her muttering prayers under her breath.
Finally, it was time for the dreaded pep assembly and the even more dreaded glee performance. When the curtain opened and the music started playing, Santana was sure that no one expected the club's music choice. Santana found her eyes glued to the performance till Kurt decided to attempt a strange thrusting movement. Beside her Quinn was seething, getting angrier with each time the hobbit ran her small hands on Finn.
"We have to stop that… thing! She is practically eye raping him!" Santana had the audacity to roll her eyes at Quinn's antics.
"What do you suggest? Why don't we just join glee club, if you are so worried about them singing and dancing together?" Santana got genuinely scared that Quinn seemed to actually consider her proposal.
"Looks like the Unholy Trinity is joining glee." Santana was waiting for Quinn to tell her she was just joking, but the punchline never came.
"We can't! Do you know how much crap we would get for joining Glee?! Plus…." The rest of Santana's rebuttal was incoherent and caused Quinn to raise a perfectly manicured eyebrow.
"What was that?" Santana let out an angry huff and decided to just woman up and tell Quinn.
"I can't be in Glee because, Berry kind of heard me sing. There is no way I can join a singing club and not sing in front of her, it would totally blow my cover!" Quinn was practically hunched over in laughter, somehow, she managed to form a coherent sentence.
"You can sing? Why in the world did you sing for her?" Santana rolled her eyes and replied that there was nothing she couldn't do. "Fine! I'll just make sure that our audition is private and, all you have to do is not perform a solo." Santana let out a sigh, knowing arguing with Quinn when she is in this mood is futile.
After the assembly, Rachel wandered back to the choir room to grab her backpack, what she saw though, was utterly shocking. Why in the world was the Unholy Trinity trying out for glee club?!
