A Gleeky Tribute To Rent Chapter 2
Rachel's P.O.V
"So Kurt what song are you doing for glee?" I asked Kurt in Glee.
"Oh Honey you just have to wait." Kurt sighed.
"But she can't!" Noah exclaimed.
"So anyone have any songs to sing?" Mr. Shuester asked.
"We do!" Kurt gestured to himself and Blaine.
"Ok break a leg boys." Mr. Shuester said.
"Blaine and I will sing I'll cover you!" Kurt explained.
KURT
Live in my house
I'll be your shelter
Just pay me back
with on thousand kisses
Be my lover
and I'll cover you
BLAINE
Open your door
I'll be your tenant
Don't got much baggage to lay at your feet
But sweet kisses I've got to spare
I'll be there and I'll cover you
BOTH

When they said you can't buy love
Now I know you can rent it
A new lease you are my love

KURT

and I'll be your castle
Blaine

And I'll be your moat

Something as true as this is

I was the first one to stand up and applaud them. Kurt and Blaine both took Bows.
"Who's next?" Mr. Shuester asked.
"I am but Rachel you have do it too!" Tina suggested.
"Of Course I will Tina!" I said stepping to the center of the room.
"Hit it!" Tina called to the band.
TINA
Whats the time?
Well it's gotta be close to midnight
My body's talking to me
It say,'Time for danger'
RACHEL
It says 'I wanna commit a crime
Wanna be the cause of a fight
Wanna put on a tight skirt and flirt
With a stranger'
TINA
I've had a knack from way back
At breaking the rules once I learn the
Game
Get-up life's too quick
RACHEL
I know someplace sick
Where this chick'll dance it the flames
We don't need any money
I always get in for free
You can get in too
If you get in with me
BOTH
Let's go out tonight
I have to go out tonight
You wanna play?
Let's run away
We wont be back
Before it's New Years Day
Take me out tonight (meow)
TINA
When I get a wink from the doorman
Do you know how lucky you'll be?
That your on line with the feline of
Avenue B
RACHEL
Let's go out tonight
I have to go out tonight
You wanna prowl
Be my night owl?
Well take my hand we're gonna howl
Out tonight
TINA
In the evening I've got to roam
Can't sleep in the city of neon and chrome
Feels to damn much like home
When the spanish babies cry
RACHEL
So let's find a bar
So dark we forget who we are
And all the scars from the
Nevers and maybes die
TINA
Let's go out tonight
Have to go out tonight
You're sweet
Wanna hit the street?
RACHEL
Wanna wail at the moon like a cat in
Heat?
Just take me out tonight
BOTH
Please take me out tonight
Don't forsake me - out tonight
I'll let you make me - out tonight
Tonight - tonight - tonight
After we finished we were given many cat calls.
"Woah Babe that was Hot." Noah called to me.
"Class dismissed!" Mr. Shuester explained.
"Well it was Tina's idea!" I explained beaming at Tina as we walked out of the room.
"It was sexy." Mike complimented his girlfriend.
"Aw thanks!" Tina said giving her boyfriend a peck on the cheek.
"Yes Rachel your performance was rather interesting." Jesse stated.
"Um Thank you?" I asked confused.
"
"Now we have Santana singing over the moon!" Mr. Shuester announced.
"Brittany and Rachel can you be back up?" Santana asked.
We both nodded and went up front to Santana.
SANTANA
Last night, I had a dream:
I found myself in a desert called Cyberland.
It was hot.
My canteen had sprung a leak and I was thirsty.
Out of the abyss walked a cow, Elsie.
I asked if she had anything to drink, she said,
"I'm forbidden to produce milk,
In Cyberland we only drink Diet Coke" (coke… coke… coke…)
She said,
"Only thing to do is jump over the moon.
They've closed everything real down,
Like barns and troughs and Performing Spaces,
And replaced it all with lies, and rules, and Virtual Life…
But there is a way out.
[BACK UP]
Leap of faith, leap of faith, leap of faith, leap of faith… [etc]
[continues in background]
Oo-oo-oo
Only thing to do is jump over the moon
[back ups stop]
I gotta get outta here!
It's like I'm being tied to the hood of
a yellow rental truck, bein' packed in with fertilizer and fuel oil, pushed over a cliff by a suicidal Mickey Mouse!
I gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta,
gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta,
gotta, gotta find a way…
To jump over the moon.
Only thing to do is jump over the moon."
Then a little bulldog entered.
His name, we have learned, was Jesse.
And although he once had principles, he abandoned them to live as a lapdog to a wealthy daughter of the revolution.
a-1, 2, 3,
"That's bull," he said,
"Ever since the cat took off with the fiddle that cow's been… jumpy.
The dish and the spoon were evicted from the table and eloped,
She's had trouble with the milk and the moon ever since - maybe it's a… female thing.
'Cause who'd wanna leave cyberland anyway - Walls ain't so bad.
The dish and the spoon, for instance, they're down on their luck, they come knockin' on my doghouse door,
and I said "Not in my backyard utensils, go back to china!" (bideebong)
"The only way out is up," Elsie whispered to me,
"A leap of faith
Still Thirsty?
Parched (parched… parched… parched…)
Have some milk…"
And I lowered myself beneath her, and held my mouth to her swollen udder, and sucked the sweetest milk I've ever tasted…
[slurping sounds]
"Climb on board!" She said.
And as the harvest moon rose over Cyberland, we reared back,
we sprang into a gallop, leaping, out of orbit; I awoke singing…
[BACK UP]
Leap of faith, leap of faith, leap of faith, leap of faith… [etc]
[continues in background]
Oo-oo-oo
Only thing to do…
Only think to do is jump…
Only thing to do is jump Over the moon…
Only thing to do is jump Over the moon…
Over the moon…
Over the…
MOOOOOOOO!
"MOO!" I shouted with her.
"Ok now Mercedes and Sam!" Mr. Shuester cheered.
Samcedes took their spots in the center of the class.
SAM
What'd you forget?
MERCEDES
Got a light?
SAM
I know you? - You're -
You're shivering
MERCEDES
It's nothing
They turned off my heat
And I'm just a little
Weak on my feet
Would you light my candle?
What are you staring at?
SAM
Nothing
Your hair in the moonlight
You look familiar
Can you make it?
MERCEDES
Just haven't eaten much today
At least the room stopped spinning.
Anyway. What?
SAM
Nothing
Your smile reminded me of -
MERCEDES
I always remind people of - who is she?
SAM
She died. Her name was April
MERCEDES
It's out again
Sorry about your friend
Would you light my candle?
SAM
Well -
MERCEDES
Yeah. Ow!
SAM
Oh, the wax - it's -
MERCEDES
Dripping! I like it - between my -
SAM
Fingers. I figured...
Oh, well. Goodnight.
It blew out again?
MERCEDES
No - I think that I dropped my stash
SAM
I know I've seen you out and about
When I used to go out
Your candle's out
[MERCEDES
I'm illin' -
I had it when I walked in the door
It was pure -
Is it on the floor?
SAM
The floor?
MERCEDES
They say I have the best ass below 14th street
Is it true?
SAM
What?
MERCEDES
You're staring again.
SAM
Oh no.
I mean you do - have a nice -
I mean - You look familiar
MERCEDES
Like your dead girlfriend?
SAM
Only when you smile.
But I'm sure I've seen you somewhere else -
MERCEDES
Do you go to the Cat Scratch Club?
That's where I work - I dance
SAM
Yes!
They used to tie you up -
MERCEDES
It's a living
SAM
I didn't recognize you
Without the handcuffs
MERCEDES
We could light the candle
Oh won't you light the candle?
SAM
Why don't you forget that stuff
You look like you're sixteen
MERCEDES
I'm nineteen - but I'm old for my age
I'm just born to be bad
SAM
I once was born to be bad
I used to shiver like that
MERCEDES
I have no heat - I told you
SAM
I used to sweat
MERCEDES
I got a cold
SAM
Uh huh
I used to be a junkie
MERCEDES
But now and then I like to -
SAM
Uh huh
MERCEDES
Feel good
SAM
Here it - um -
[MERCEDES
What's that?
SAM
It's a candy bar wrapper
MERCEDES
We could light the candle
What'd you do with my candle?
SAM
That was my last match
MERCEDES
Our eyes'll adjust, thank God for the moon
SAM
Maybe it's not the moon at all
I hear Spike Lee's shooting down the street
MERCEDES
Bah humbug ... Bah humbug
SAM
Cold hands
MERCEDES
Yours too.
Big. Like my father's
You wanna dance?
SAM
With you?
MERCEDES
No - with my father
SAM
I'm Sam
MERCEDES
They call me
They call me Cedes
"Noah would you light my candle?" I whispered in his ear.
"Anytime!" He whispered back.
