The Age of Hudson Chapter 9 Teenage Dreams, a glee fanfic

Hi guys, well first of all I want to apologize again for not publishing, but I decided I´m going to continue with the fic. I tried to make this chapter better beacause it seemed a little lazy at first, it was hard for me to write it, but this means I´m back on the writing. Thank you for reading and I hope you like it.

Chapter 9. - Teenage Dreams

The entire weekend there were celebrations. Finn felt very proud and so did the New Directions; they had gone to Six Flags, partied from dusk to dawn. Finn received calls from his old friends congratulating him on his success. Apparently Mike had told everybody about the New Directions being directed by Finn.

His mom felt so proud and finally he seemed to have let go of his long term depression after the club´s triumph.

He was having dinner with her at home. It was just the two of them; Burt was in Washington attending some congress meetings.

Carole Hummel-Hudson was the kindest and most understanding woman. Finn loved her very much and the last thing he wanted to do was disappoint her. She had cooked Finns favorite: meatballs in hot sauce with chips on the side. The house was quiet; nothing had ever been the same since the boys left for college.

Carole was happy to see Finn, she had barely heard from him since he entered college, but still she felt proud his son was finally steering on the right direction.

"Thanks mom, everything looks awesome" Finn said grabbing his knife and fork to start eating his dinner.

"Thanks honey, I´m just really glad you´re home" She also grabbed the knife and fork to start eating. "So, How´s work? Everything ok?"

Finn nodded as he chewed his meal, then he swallowed "It´s been great, we just won sectionals and we need to get ready for Regionals, Can you pass me the salt?" Carole approached the salt shaker to his son who was very focused on the food. It reminded her how things were back on his high school days. She felt like something was going to emerge from her eyes.

"I´m really happy for you Finn, you´ve become an excellent man." Finn stopped eating and looked directly at his mother's eyes. He could see how she was about to start crying. "I know… you´ve been through a lot, but you are turning out to be this… WONDERFUL MAN and… "Carole couldn´t even finish the sentence she started crying.

Finn stood up and hold her tightly. Carole was sobbing, but her tears were tears of joy and memories. He knew those tears meant years of sacrifices, of good and bad moments, of lessons and growth for the both of them. Finn handed his mother a tissue and she wiped off her tears.

"I remember when you started playing the drums and, you wanted to be just like all those rock stars, and your first football game, and how you wished to play on the NFL…" Finn felt really inspired. There was his lesson for the glee club.

The weekend after sectionals was a very intense one for the New Directions kid´s. They spent all day and all night celebrating their triumph, and regretted that it was only going to last a couple days and back on school they had to work even harder for the next stage.

They were on the hallways heading to the Choir Room. Patrick and Danielle had become very good friends. She had been very supportive with him with all the Sebastian Smythe rendezvous. Patrick had been talking to him. That night they won sectionals they didn´t go anywhere but they went out on the weekend. He took him to a very nice restaurant, to the movies and to walk in the park. A really normal date (one of the things that Sebastian hated because he couldn´t stand ordinary and common things), but as hard as Patrick tried he didn´t have fun. For him Sebastian was just a summer fling.

Things for Karen were really different. Thomas had appeared on her porch all dreamy and dazzling to take her out, and she just couldn´t refuse. He took her to a bar; they had a few drinks (with fake ID´s of course), danced and had a blast. She was falling all over again for him, even if she didn´t want to.

Finn was now on the auditorium, the glee club meeting was going to take place there. One by one his students arrived. The glee club members had three ways of getting inside: alone, in groups or in couples. And it was very clear by now who were the couples, and now Cameron and Ruby were one.

Marley felt happy for Ruby, she knew that secretly she liked Cameron in secret, and you could see how happy he was for being with her.

"Ok guys!" Finn shouted from center stage. "First of all let´s hear our final round of applause for our well-deserved first place at Sectionals" The were some whistles and cheers "However, we need to bring it up harder if we want to beat up The Warblers next time. So for this week´s assignment I want you to look deep inside you and bring us the reason why you started singing in first place" His students seemed confused, Finn wasn´t really good at giving introductions. "This week´s assignment is Idols!" So you better bring it up!" As always the kids got excited, and Finn couldn´t wait to see who was going to be first.

Next time in the auditorium, backstage was Karen and Danielle. Glee club was full of divas this year.

"What are you doing here? " Danielle asked.

"I didn´t realize you had to go first every time we have an assignment" Responded Karen in a sassy mood. Danielle felt upset and she couldn´t stop giving hateful looks at her.

Music began to play and the two girls started performing. Both were dressed with two iconic Rihanna looks.

Karen: I've been everywhere, man
Looking for someone
Someone who can please me
Love me all night long
Danielle: I've been everywhere, man
Looking for you babe
Looking for you babe
Searching for you babe

BOTH: Where have you been?
Cause I never see you out
Are you hiding from me, yeah?
Somewhere in the crowd!

Where have you been,
All my life, all my life?
Where have you been, all my life?
Where have you been, all my life?
Where have you been, all my life?
Where have you been, all my life?

One was upstaging the other; it was a really intense dance war between them.

Danielle: You can have me all you want
Karen: Any way, any day
Both: Just show me where you are tonight

The two of them looked like they were Rihanna giving a show, it was really like they had been taught by her.

Karen: I've been everywhere, man
Looking for someone
Someone who can please me
Danielle: Love me all night long
I've been everywhere, man
Both: Looking for you babe
Looking for you babe
Searching for you babe.

That had been a really good performance.

"Ladies that was an EXCELLENT HOMAGE to Rihanna" Both girls smiled at the crowd, yet not at each other.

Jake was now standing in the middle of the stage. He was dressing in white.

"Well, my idol while growing up was… and it´s sort of embarrassing but my Idol was Justin Timberlake" Everybody looked kinda surprised. Jake smiled at the audience and then said "Hit it!"

Don't be so quick to walk away
Dance with me
I wanna rock your body
Please stay
Dance with me
You don't have to admit you wanna play
Dance with me
Just let me rock you
Till the break of day
Dance with me

Got time, but I don't mind
Just wanna rock you girl
I'll have whatever you have
Come on, just give it up girl
See I've been watching you
I like the way you move
So go ahead, girl, just do
That ass shaking thing you do

So you grab your girls
And you grab a couple more
And you all come meet me
In the middle of the floor
Said the air is thick, it's smelling right
So you blast to the left and you sail to the right

I don't mean no harm
Just wanna rock you girl
Make a move, but be calm
Let's go, let's give it up girl
See it appears to me
You like the way I move
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do
Pull you close and share my groove

Talk to me boy
No disrespect, I don't mean no harm
Talk to me boy
I can't wait to have you in my arms
Talk to me boy
Hurry up cause you're taking too long
Talk to me boy
Better have you naked by the end of this song

Hey
Dance with me
Yea

Don't be so quick to walk away (Don't walk away)

Please stay (Come on and)

Dance with me Just let me rock you (Do do do do)
Till the break of day (Come on and)
Dance with me

Are you feeling me?
Let's do something
Let's make a bet
Cause I, gotta have you naked by the end of this song

Jake had danced exactly like Justin, as always he was sexy and like the perfect addition to any boy band.

Ryder had planned a great number. His only creative outlet was the glee club, he spent all day studying, he had learned to balance his time during the last 3 years at McKinley, he felt melancholic most of the times, especially because it was his last year. He was planning to go to Penn State with a football scholarship, but he had to upgrade his SAT score.

He was going to miss McKinley and his friends, but this year meant it was all or nothing. He didn´t want to leave Lima without being part of the history of the titans.

The New Directions gathered on the auditorium and a disco like beat began. The cheerios were dancing on stage and Ryder appeared using a sleeveless t-shirt jeans and his hair combed like one British pop idol. The girls started screaming and getting wild, apparently Jake wasn´t the only one who knew how to look sexy.

Me with the floorshow
Kickin' with your torso
Boys getting high
And the girls even more so
Wave your hands if you´re not with the man
Can I kick it?
CHEERIOS AND GIRLS: (Yes you can)
I got
ALL: (Funk)
You got
ALL: (Soul)
RYDER AND GIRLS: We got everybody
I've got the gift
Gonna stick it in the goal
It's time to move your body

Babylon back in business
Can I get a witness?
Every girl, every man
Houston, do you hear me?
Ground control, can you feel me?
Need permission to land
I don't wanna rock, DJ
But your making me feel so nice
When's it gonna stop, DJ?
Cos you're keepin' me up all night

Ryder had made everybody dance, the girls got upstage and joined him. Cameron was trying to look as sexy as Ryder dancing which made Ruby smile a little they looked really happy. Patrick danced with Karen and Danielle, something that Karen didn´t seem to like, especially after the Rihanna debacle. She was definitely going to keep an eye on her.

Singin' in the classes
Music for your masses
Give no head
No backstage passes
Have a proper giggle
I'll be quite polite
But when I rock the mic
I rock the mic
Girls: (Right)
You got no love, then you're with the wrong man
It's time to move your body

He grabbed Robert and Patrick and pushed him towards Lisa
If you can't get a girl
But your best friend can
It's time to move your body

Ryder made some hip moves like the old icon. Finn instantly thought of Sam that time when he and Rachel had found him at that strip club, but he definitely had made a better performance than Jake.

I don't wanna rock, DJ
But you're making me feel so nice
When's it gonna stop, DJ?
Cos your keeping me up all night

Pimpin' aint easy
Most of them fleece me
Every night
Pimpin' ain't easy
But if you're sellin' it
It's alright

Come on!

AlI: don't wanna rock, DJ
But you're making me feel so nice
When's it gonna stop, DJ?
Cos you're keeping me up all night

I don't wanna rock, DJ
But you're making me feel so nice
When's it gonna stop, DJ?
Cos you're keeping me up all night

The next time the auditorium was filled with UK flags and Robert, Cameron and Patrick wore black suits and white shirts. Each one played an instrument. The jazz band was dressed just like them.

"Hi guys" said Finn. "What have you got for us today?" Robert searched for the microphone above the piano.

"Well, we got talking and we found we had some huge idols in common"

"McCartney" Cameron said

"Harrison" Robert added.

"And Lennon" Patrick said "They are all great artists but we decided to put them back together again with this song"

They began playing before Finn could say anything.

Cameron: Close your eyes and I'll kiss you
Patrick: Tomorrow I'll miss you
Robert: Remember I'll always be true

Robert: And then while I'm away
Patrick and Robert: I'll write home every day
And I'll send all my loving to you

Cameron: I'll pretend that I'm kissing
Patrick and Cameron: The lips I am missing
And hope that my dreams will come true

Both were flirting with Ruby and Danielle; Karen immediately noticed. She really didn´t like the idea of Patrickgoing out with someone as rude and egocentric as her.

Robert and Cameron: And then while I'm away
I'll write home every day
And I'll send all my loving to you

Ruby liked Cameron, he was a really sweet guy, and she felt as if she could open up completely with him. Somehow he understood her, and Ruby hadn´t trust anyone since the last time a guy broke her heart and made her the way she was.

Cameron: All my loving, I will send to you
Robert: All my loving, darling I'll be true

ALL: Close your eyes and I'll kiss you
Tomorrow I'll miss you
Remember I'll always be true

And then while I'm away
I'll write home every day
And I'll send all my loving to you

Robert: All my loving, I will send to you
Patrick: All my loving, darling I'll be true
Patrick and Cameron: All my loving, all my loving
ALL: Ooh, all my loving, I will send to you

After the guys finished Marley Unique and Lisa stood center stage. They wore funny outfits, like edgy and at the same time cool. Unique wore a Mohawk wig, Marley had her hair picked up on two little pony tails and Lisa wore a reggae style.

"You´re outfits are really cool girls" Finn said

"Thanks" Unique answered "We look fabulous!" Finn laughed. Wade was filled with theatricality.

"Like the guys, we found out we had an Idol in common; Pink" Marley said.

"We chose her because she´s a true inspiration and she´s just amazing, so we hope you like our number" Lisa added and the music began.

ALL: Na-na-na-na, na-na, naNa-na-na-na na-naNa-na-na-na, na-na, naNa-na-na-na na-na

Lisa: I guess I just lost my husband I don't know where he went So I'm gonna drink my money I'm not gonna pay his rent

(Nope!)
Unique: I got a brand new attitude And I'm gonna wear it tonight I'm gonna get in trouble I wanna start a fight
Lisa and Marley: Na-na-na-na, na-na, na I wanna start a fight Na-na-na-na, na-na, na I wanna start a fight!
Marley: So, so what? I'm still a rock star I got my rock moves And I don't need you
Unique and Marley: And guess what I'm having more fun And now that we're done I'm gonna show you tonight
Lisa and Unique: I'm alright I'm just fine And you're a tool
ALL: So, so what? I am a rock star I got my rock moves And I don't want you tonight
Lisa: Uh, check my flow, uh

They were imitating Pink, it was really original, it was Lisa´s first performance without Robert and she did pretty good
Lisa: The waiter just took my table And gave it to Jessica Simp, shit! I guess I'll go sit with drum boy At least he'll know how to hit

The three were acting like Pink on the video, making a fun mess upstage, dancing around and having a blast. Each of their looks represented a different stage of the artist. She could be serious at the same time and totally bad-ass, but still fun and really amazing.

Marley: What if this song's on the radio Then somebody's gonna die I'm gonna get in trouble My ex will start a fight
Unique: Na-na-na-na, na-na, na He's gonna start a fight

The rest of the club was exited. Finn had noticed that the last trio and this trio were powerful combinations he could use for the next competition.

ALL: Na-na-na-na, na-na, na We're all gonna get in a fight!
So, so what? I'm still a rock star I got my rock moves And I don't need you
And guess what I'm having more fun And now that we're done I'm gonna show you tonight
I'm alright I'm just fine And you're a tool
So, so what? I am a rock star I got my rock moves And I don't want you tonight

Marley: You weren't there You never were You want it all But that's not fair
Unique and Lisa: I gave you life I gave my all You weren't there You let me fall
ALL: So, so what? I'm still a rock star I got my rock moves And I don't need you
And guess what I'm having more fun And now that we're done I'm gonna show you tonight
I'm alright I'm just fine And you're a tool
So, so what? I am a rock star I got my rock moves And I don't want you tonight
No no, no no I don't want you tonight You weren't there I'm gonna show you tonight
I'm alright I'm just fine And you're a tool
So, so what? I am a rock star I got my rock moves And I don't want you tonight
Ba-da-da-da, da-da

Everybody clapped and shouted. They had done great; their performance was full of energy.

By the time everybody had gone out Karen had waited for Danielle on the parking lot. The girl stood beside Danielle´s motorcycle, she was bewildered. Danielle had had trouble for fighting in the past, she knew that that was Karen was looking for, and her eyes were filled with anger and threat.

"May I ask, why on earth are you standing beside my bike?" Danielle asked annoyed. Karen walked towards, still threatening, yet Danielle stayed cool. She didn´t want another drama

"Look Selena Gomez" Karen stood in front of her "I want you to stop talking to Patrick alright?" Danielle was confused, she didn´t know where was all this coming from.

"What?! Jesus, you really need to see a psychiatrist, you´re kinda wacko" said Danielle trying to access her vehicle but Karen stood in her way.

"Let me make this very clear, your relationship with him, no matter how awkward and twisted it looks, is just allowed on school grounds, ok? He may trust you, but I don´t, so back off before he gets hurt". While she was giving her speech the other girl looked down smiling, she thought her whole scene was hilarious.

"First of all, no one stands on my way, alright?" She pushed Karen away and she got up in her motorcycle. She turned it on. Karen was about to lose her temper, she just couldn´t stand her. "Second, call me Selena Gomez once again and I´ll go all Ike on your sorry ass Tina Turner" She put on her helmet and then drove away from her full speed.
