This is definitely a shorter chapter than my previous ones, but it is a great setup to where I want the story to go. Hope you guys like it! Please comment!
A Surprise Visit
"And stomp. And clap. And spin. And jazz hands. Come on, guys. What do I got to do to get you guys motivated around here?"
Sectionals were approaching rather quickly. For some divine reason, the Glee club managed to squeeze through Invitational every year and in one year the Sectionals, but never managed to win Regionals for five years straight. Will Schuester knew that he was under the scrutiny of Principal Figgins and certainly Sue Sylvester. It's like Sue is always finding new ways to destroy the Glee Club, but Will had to admit. Lately, her plans have gotten rather weak. Two weeks ago, she called in the CDC. There were people in white hazmat suits, walking all over McKinley High for a week, inspecting the Glee club. Will didn't want to know how she was able to convince the CDC to come and investigate a bad case of acne breakout. It was weak plan though. In the past, whenever Sue had a plan to destroy Glee club, Will would get extremely infuriated, even to the point where Will just wanted to stuff Sue's head into a toilet, but over the years, Sue has changed. It's as if Sue actually grew a heart somewhere out of that pit of darkness. Maybe she actually liked Glee club, but Will laughed after he thought of this.
Grinning like a fool, Will turned back to his 12 Glee students and suddenly frowned. All the students there were mumbling amongst one another. It seems as if they disapproved of Will's teaching skills.
"Come on guys, Sectionals is only a few weeks away. We need to master this choreography," Will informed the Glee members.
"But Mr. Shue," Melanie, a Cheerio, started saying, "I don't know why you're teaching us dance moves in the first place when you obviously don't have any "moves". I mean, come on. Teaching us on how to do jazz hands?"
"Hey, jazz hands were pretty cool if you know how to use them well. And what do you mean I don't have the "moves"?" Will asked back.
Everyone in the Glee club gave Will a blank stare. All of them were basically communicating with one another. Their stares seem to say, "Are you serious?"
Will shook his head, looked at his students, and said, "Well, it looks like you guys need a re-education in the Schuester House of Smoothness"
Katie spoke up and said, "Mr. Schue. Please stop embarrassing yourself." Ignoring her comment, Will called on his two students for help.
"Randy, you mind giving me a hand. You too, Cory." Will knew that Randy was really good at dancing and vocals and Cory was one of the best drummers Will had ever seen. Will pulled out a CD from his office and placed it in the player. These kids need an education in Dancing 101.
"I think I still got the moves," Will thought as he pushed play. He liked singing while dancing. It made him give off a lot of energy, energy that he hadn't been able to express since Nationals five years ago.
This speech is my recital, I think it's very vital
To rock (a rhyme), that's right (on time)
It's Tricky is the title, here we go...
It's Tricky to rock a rhyme, to rock a rhyme that's right on time
It's Tricky...it's Tricky (Tricky) Tricky (Tricky)
It's Tricky to rock a rhyme, to rock a rhyme that's right on time
It's Tricky...Tr-tr-tr-tricky (Tricky) Trrrrrrrrrrricky
(Author's note: Use your imagination please! :D)
In the middle of the dancing and singing, Will couldn't help but notice his Glee looking awe-struck. All of them were clapping and singing along with Will. As the final chords of the song came to end, Will jumped off the wall and did a back flip. With his arms raise and his face covered with sweat, he yelled out, "What do you think about that?" All the Glee students cheered.
"Looks like you still got the moves, Mr. Schue," a voice near the doorway said. Will thought for a second. The voice sounded familiar, but it couldn't be. Will turned around and he smiled instantly.
Will yelled out, "Noah Puckerman!" Will walked toward Puck and gave him a hug.
"Woah, easy Mr. Schue. You smell terrible," Puck informed Will. Will hadn't seen Puck in nearly three or four years. Will had attended Puck's and Quinn's wedding. It was a nice and quiet one, but only this time, Quinn wasn't pregnant. Who would have thought that in three years, Quinn would have two kids? Well, Will wasn't surprised. Puck was always a man who couldn't keep his hands off anything, whether it is toys or ladies.
Will turned to his Glee students and said, "All right. Rehearsal's over. See you guys next week." With that, his Glee students shuffled out of the choir room.
Will walked into his office, followed by Puck. "So what's up Puck? How are you doing?" Will asked.
Puck replied, "Oh nothing much Mr. Schue"
"Seriously, call me Will. I feel so old when my former students call me Mr. Schue"
Puck laughed and said, "Ok, Will. Anyway, I was just stopping by, you know…seeing the sights. I kinda missed throwing kids into dumpsters. These kids here, they don't know the proper technique. I had to teach them the proper way of dumpster tossing. I'm telling you. These younger generations of kids get stupider with each passing year that Puckzilla isn't here to teach them the right path"
"Are you for real, Puck? You graduated like five years ago"
"Naw. I was just busting your chops. Anyway, I came here to see if you wanted to come to Quinn's baby shower. I'm sorry I didn't invite you to the last one. Didn't realize that Quinn was pregnant til the baby came out and all. I thought she was just putting on extra weight."
"Yeah, it's easy to make that mistake," Will said sarcastically, "but I certainly would love attending Quinn's baby shower."
"Oh, that's great Mr. Schue, I mean Will. It's this Saturday at 2. My house. You've been there before, Will. I promise you it will be great. All your old students from Glee will be there. Finn, Kurt, Mercedes, Mike, Tina, Artie. It's going to be fun"
Will had to pause for a second. Puck said everyone will be there? Does that mean Rachel as well? Will wanted to ask, but instead said, "That sounds fantastic. I can't wait to be there."
"All right. Cool, Mr. Schue. I mean, Will. See you Saturday" Puck turned to leave, but Will said, "Hey, wait." Puck stopped and turned to Will. Will needed to find out for sure.
"What's up, Will?"
"Is Rachel going to be there?"
Puck eyed Will, suspiciously but answered, "I think so. Quinn's going to have lunch with her tomorrow. Didn't you hear? She's back in town. I think she just got back yesterday"
"Oh. That's all. Thanks, Puck." Puck eyed Will with greater suspicions, but shook his head and walked out the office. Will stood in his office with so many thoughts.
"Rachel's back. What do I do now?" Will thought to himself. He grabbed his belongings and left his office. Saturday is going to be one long day, but it was going to be the day where he meets Rachel Berry once again. He reminded himself of the promise he made last night. He will not make any stupid mistakes anymore. He will not do anything that might give him regrets because he knew the feeling of regret. It is the worst feeling in the world.
So…ready or not, Rachel. Here comes Will Schuester 2.0.
Thanks for reading. In the next chapter, I will incorporate both Will's and Rachel's on the night before the big reunion. It is a big buildup to the reunion, where there will be a twist of sorts. Well I think it's a twist. Til next time.
