Emma had thought about the assignment Will had given the kids all week. She liked lots of songs. Her ipod was full of a variety of music, Will had made sure of that. So many songs ran through her mind that she didn't hear Rachel knock at first.
"Come in Rachel. How can I help you today?"
"Well Miss Pillsbury, I actually came to help you. I know you don't typically perform in glee club and wanted to offer to help back you up for your song choice if you need backing vocals. I'm such an amazing singer as the lead but for once I thought I'd try backing someone up, just to see what it's like."
"Rachel, that's very kind of you. I was just picking a song now. I think I know which song I would like to do, but do you think we could find one more person. The song I have in mind would need another person to back me up."
"Oh I'm sure we can. Any of the girls in glee would gladly do it for you. I'll text Tina and see what she says"
"Awesome, let's practice at 4 today, does that sound ok?"
"Sounds great. Tina texted me back, she's in"
"Ok thanks Rachel...see you at 4"
Emma and the girls practiced the song 4 times that week, each time feeling a little more comfortable with the lyrics and the dancing. Emma wasn't much of a dancer, but the simple chorography made it pretty easy for her to keep up. Rachel even came up with super cute & easy costumes for them to wear, and Emma felt ready. Sure, this was not in her comfort zone, but even Dr. Shane had noticed how much Emma had grown as a person. Allowing her heart to actually be shown on her sleve was another step she felt she was ready to take.
"Alright guys, who is ready to go today?" Will asked. Emma hadn't told him she was ready.
"Tina, Ms. Pillsbury, and I are ready" Rachel blurted out. Emma had to roll her eyes at Rachel trying to hog the spot light.
"Well what a suprise, let's hear it!" stated Will.
Emma & the girls got up in front of the group and cued the band to start playing. Suddenly a 90's pop song filled the room. Will was a little surprised. For all the music Emma loved, this wasn't a song he would have thought she would have picked as her favorite. However, life with Emma, he was learning, was always full of suprises...
Emma stood up and began to sing
The secret of love
I thought I understood
The way it's supposed to be
I never imagined you could
Blow my theory apart
But now you're running away with my heart
[Chorus:]
I don't wanna think about it
Don't wanna think clear
Don't analyze
What I'm doing here
Wanna be impulsive
Reckless
And lose myself in your kiss
Impulsive
I wanna be... impulsive
I'm gonna be impulsive... reckless
And lose myself, lose myself
As Emma took a seat, everyone began to cheer.
"Damn Shuester, you got yourself a HOT little ginger" Puck stated
"Puck, knock it off" Will stated
"Seriously, Ms P that was wonderful." Kurt stated
As the kids left Will took a long look at Emma. He realized that although she was scared, she was telling him she wanted to be with him, only him, forever. And that was a great feeling...
Ok super cheesy I know. Impulsive? Why not? Will has a thing for 80's songs, why can' t Emma have one for 90's songs...I think I'm gonna do Puck next but I don't know! Reviewers get brownies & cookies & hugs & rainbows from me!
