I managed to finish this for you by Christmas Eve (I know right?), but the site was being screwy and wasn't uploading, hence why I wasn't on yesterday either. But here I am now! I know Christmas is over (sob), but I wrote this whole thing and didn't want to waste it, so, Merry Christmas 2.0!
Mailbag:
Guest (Laryssa): I'm so glad you liked this chapter. I'm not so sure about Mackenzie hitting on Ryder, just because of the age difference (she's a freshman and he's a junior), but I definitely see something in doing the same thing but with Bree or maybe Macy. I'll try and see if I can fit it in anywhere! Good idea!
Alex B. Good: Aw thanks and Merry Christmas to you too!
GleeJunkie007: If it makes sense to the plot line, I'll try to write the date soon. Merry Christmas to you as well!
"Is it just me." Brynklie asked loudly, walking into the choir room, "Or has this week seemed endless."
"It's Monday," Jake reminded her.
"I know, right?"
"I agree," Charlie added, "The week before Christmas break is the longest week of the entire school year."
"This week's theme is," Finn said, striding into the room and writing one word on the board, "Big shocker, Christmas! You guys have all week to get ready and perform your numbers and I don't care how many there are or who's in what or if your singing or dancing or whatever. I just want this to be a really fun relaxing week because when we get back, we are starting to prep for sectionals and I've got a huge surprise."
The next day, the glee club members, gathered in the auditorium to begin their performances. After few minutes, Charlie and Brynklie went onstage and stood in front of the closed curtain, dressed as a skeleton and a rag doll.
"Okay," Brynklie began, her voice projecting all the way to the back, "So even though the movie this song is from isn't technically a Christmas movie, this is still a Christmas song, so it counts. We basically spent all night getting ready for this and we even got the art club to help us, so yeah." They began to sing.
Charlie:
What's this? What's this?
There's color everywhere
Brynklie:
What's this?
There's white things in the air
What's this?
Charlie and Brynklie:
I can't believe my eyes
I must be dreaming
Wake up, Jack, this isn't fair
What's this?
Charlie:
What's this? What's this?
There's something very wrong
Brynklie:
What's this?
These people singing songs
Charlie:
What's this?
The streets are lined with
Little creatures laughing
Everybody seems so happy
Have I possibly gone daffy?
What is this? What's this?
The curtain opened up revealing the whole stage made as Christmas Town. As Charlie continued singing, Brynklie danced in a contorted rag doll-like manner around him.
Charlie:
There's children throwing snowballs
Instead of throwing heads
They're busy building toys
And absolutely no one's dead
There's frost on every window
Oh, I can't believe my eyes
And in my bones I feel the warmth
That's coming from inside
Brynklie:
Oh, look, what's this?
They're hanging mistletoe, they kiss
Why that looks so unique? Inspired
They're gathering around to hear a story
Roasting chestnuts on a fire
What's this?
Charlie:
What's this?
In here they've got a little tree, how queer
And who would ever think
And why?
They're covering it with tiny little things
They've got electric lights on strings
And there's a smile on everyone
So, now, correct me if I'm wrong
This looks like fun
This looks like fun
Oh, could it be I got my wish?
What's this?
Brynklie:
Oh my, what now? The children are asleep
But look, there's nothing underneath
No ghouls, no witches here to scream and scare them
Or ensnare them, only little cozy things
Secure inside their dreamland
Charlie:
What's this?
The monsters are all missing
And the nightmares can't be found
And in their place there seems to be
Good feeling all around
Instead of screams, I swear
I can hear music in the air
The smell of cakes and pies
Are absolutely everywhere
Charlie and Brynklie:
The sights, the sounds
They're eveywhere and all around
I've never felt so good before
This empty place inside of me is filling up
I simply cannot get enough
I want it, oh, I want it
Oh, I want it for my own
I've got to know, I've got to know
What is this place that I have found?
What is this?
Charlie:
Christmas town? Hmm
The glee club gave them a standing ovation as they stepped in front of the closing curtain closed.
"That was fantastic guys," Finn said, "That was a perfect way to start the week!"
"Our next number," Finn said the following day, "Is from the girls singing Run Run Rudolph." The girls stood up in the front of the choir room wearing coordinating outfits of red and white.
Bree:
Out of all the reindeer
You know you're the mastermind
Marley:
Run run Rudolph
Randolph's not too far behind
Kitty:
Run run Rudolph
Santa's got to make it to town
Brynklie:
Randolph he can hurry
He can take the freeway down
Harlow:
And away went Rudolph
Whizzin' like a merry go round
Macy:
Said Santa to a boy child
What have you been longing for?
Mackenzie:
All I want for Christmas is a
Rock and roll electric guitar
Unique:
And then away went Rudolph
Whizzin' like a shootin' star, yeah
Harlow and Brynklie:
Run run Rudolph
Santa's got to make it to town
Bree and Kitty:
Well can't you make him hurry
Tell him he can take the freeway down
Marley, Macy and Unique:
And then away went Rudolph
Whizzin' like a merry go round, yeah, ooo yeah
Mackenzie:
Said Santa to a girl child
What would you like most to get?
Brynlklie:
Oh I want baby doll that can cry, drink, scream oh yeah
Harlow:
And then away went Rudolph
Whizzin' like a saber jet, yeah
All:
Run run Rudolph
Run run Rudolph
Runnin' like a son of gun
Run run Rudolph
Run run Rudolph
Running like a son of gun
Run, run, oh run, yeah
"Wow guys," Finn said, "That was amazing. I love the outfits. The boys are next, singing Christmas Can-Can." The four boys took the places of the girls and waited for the music to start.
Jake:
Christmas, Christmas time is here, and Christmas songs you love to hear
Thoughts of joy and hope and cheer, but mostly (All:) shopping, shopping, shopping
Christmas. Christmas time is here, the sleigh bells and red nosed deer
Songs and songs we love to hear all played a thousand times each year
Carson:
Heard this same song 20 times and it's only Halloween (Charlie: Joy to the World)
It's not even cold outside (Charlie: deck the halls with boughs of holly)
Ryder:
Christmas, Christmas time is here, and Christmas songs you love to hear
(Charlie: Hark the herald angels sing joy to)
Thoughts of joy and hope and cheer, but mostly (all:) shopping, shopping, shopping
Charlie:
Christmas season, starting sooner every year
It's October, stores with plastic Christmas trees
Ransack the mall, shop until you lose your mind
Spike the eggnog, sit back and watch
Rudolf, Frosty, Tiny TIm, and Scrooge the price, or Charlie Brown
All:
It's time...
It's time to do the Christmas can-can
If you can't, can't dance well that's ok (Jake: not going to do the kick line)
All you need is a tree, some lights about a thousand presents
Wrap them up and pray for snow
Run to your closet find your Christmas sweaters screaming carols all the way (Charlie: fa-la-la-la-la)
Maine all the way to California it's the Christmas can-can Halloween to Christmas day
Ryder:
It's the most wonderful time of year we're running mad with Christmas cheer
Hey what's troubling you my friend?
Jake:
It's not fair if your jewish, jewish (All: not fair if your Jewish, Jewish)
Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel I made it out of clay
You realize that Christmas ain't the only holiday
Carson:
Hey he's right who made these laws
Look! Wait! Here comes Santa Claus, Santa Claus, Santa Claus, Santa Claus, Santa Claus (Charlie: Santa, Santa, Santa, Santa, Santa, Santa, Santa, Santa)
All:
Hey Santa do the can-can help them if you can-can join in the parade (Jake: I'm gonna go grab some Chinese food)
All you need is a tree, some lights about a thousand presents
Wrap them up and pray for snow
Run to your closet find your Christmas sweaters screaming carols all the way (Charlie: fa-la-la-la-la)
Prance all the way to Indiana it's the Christmas can-can that's the end
Charlie:
Wait for our ending
We should share this holiday
Jake:
I wanna give a happy Chanukah to you
Ryder:
A happy Chanukah to you
All:
A happy Chanukah to you
A merry Christmas, Chanukah and also Kwanzaa. Merry
Christmas, happy Chanukah, and mer-ry Kwan-zaa too
Laughing, the rest of the Glee Club applauded them.
"That was great guys," Finn said, still clapping as he stood up, "Remember, there is only one more day until Christmas break. Make it big!"
"This is it," Finn said, "We just have today before we get to go home and catch up on some sleep." They were back in the auditorium, and this time, he was the only one sitting in the audience. The glee club was standing in one line at the front of the stage.
