A/N: I finished this a lot faster then I expected but because this was a chapter full of performances I kinda wanted to just get it over with. It kind of is mainly lyrics but I do like how it turned out. Enjoy! (By the way all lyrics are in italics)

Rachel glared at the back of Finn's head as she and the other glee clubbers waited for Will to start the audition process. She and had a little tiff the other day...

The Other Day

Rachel and Finn were cuddling on her bed, she had just finished giving him a detailed, albeit boring, synopsis of RENT when she brought up the subject of auditions, "So, Finn, I was thinking for your audition we could sing one of our trademark duets, I'd suggest it for my audition but I'll be singing a stunning solo."

"Actually, Rach, I was gonna sing a solo too. Just 'cause I don't know anything about musicals really I think it'd be better for me to sing alone."

"Oh. Alright."

Present Day

Rachel knew it wasn't the most logical reason to be mad at someone but she was Rachel Barbra Berry gosh darn it! People should be lining up to sing with her! She quickly shifted her attention from Finn's head to Mr. Schue.

"Alright guys, audition time! Who wants to go first?" Will asked. Artie and Kurt both rose there hands immediately, well not quite immediately they gave each other a quick nod first. "Alright Artie how about you go first.

"Actually Kurt and I will be singing together for my audition," Artie explained rolling towards the front of the room Kurt trailing behind.

"We'll be singing a number from Avenue Q," Kurt declared rifling through his designer bag before finally pulling out a book. "Sadly we don't have the puppets to go along with it."

Will chuckled, "Alright go ahead guys."

Kurt brought the book to his face acting as though he was reading, 'Aah, an afternoon alone with
My favourite book, "Broadway
Musicals of the 1940s."
No roommate to bother me.
How could it get any better than this?'

Artie then rolled on 'stage', 'Oh, hi Rod!'

Kurt sighed over-dramatically, 'Hi, Nicky.'

Artie then went in to story teller mode, 'Uh, hey Rod, you'll never guess what happened to me on the subway this morning. This guy was smilin' at me, and talkin' to me...'

Mmm, that's very interesting.'

Kurt sang/spoke uninterestedly.

But Artie continued, 'mmmhmm, he was being real friendly. And, I think he was coming on to me. I think he might have thought I was gay.'

Kurt swallowed uncomfortably though 'Ahem...So, uh, why you tellin' me this? Why should I care? I don't care? What did you have for lunch today?'

'Well, you don't have to get all defensive, Rod...' Artie trailed off.

'I'M NOT GETTING DEFENSIVE!'

Kurt yelled. 'Why do I care about some gay guy you met, okay? I am trying to read.'

'Well, I didn't mean anything by it, Rod. I just think it's something we should be able to talk about.'

Artie apologised while still maintaining a strong singing voice.

'Well, I do not want to talk about it, Nicky. This conversation is over.'

Kurt made a little silencing motion with his hand.

'Yeah, but Rod...

' Artie sang.

'OVER!'

Kurt yelled.

'Well, okay. But just so you know...'

Artie began before going into full on song mode,

'If you were gay
that'd be okay
I mean 'cause hey
I'd like you anyway'

'Argh.'

Kurt interrupted

'Because you see
if it were me
I would feel free to say
That I was gay
...but I'm not gay.'

Artie sang.

'Nicky, please, I am trying to read'

Kurt declared before noticing Artie staring intently at him. 'What?'

'If you were queer'

Artie began.

'Oh, Nicky.'

Kurt sang.

'I'd still be here'

Artie sang back.

'Nicky, I am trying to read this book.'

Kurt replied.

'Year after year' Artie recited.

'Nicky!'

Kurt screeched.

'Because you're dear to me'

Artie sang

'Argh!'

Kurt yelled.

'And I know that you'

Artie crooned.

'What?'

Kurt queried.

'Would accept me, too'

Artie sang.

'I would?'

Kurt questioned sceptically

'If I told you today,
"Hey, guess what, I'm gay".
...but I'm not gay.'

Artie added. Before continuing,
'I'm happy just being with you'

'High Button Shoes, Pay Joey...'

Kurt chanted.

'So what should it matter to me
What you do in bed with guys?' Artie sang emphasising the word guys.

'Nicky, that is gross!'

Kurt declared.

'No, it's not
If you were gay'

Artie sang.

'Argh.'

'I'd shout hooray!'

'I am not listening.'

Kurt put his hands over his ears.

'And here I'd stay'

'LA LA LA LA LA!'

'But I wouldn't get in your way'

'AAAAH'!

'You can count on me
To always be
Beside you everyday
To tell you it's okay
You we're just born that way
And as they, it's in your DNA
You're gay.'

Artie sang.

'I AM NOT GAY!'

Kurt basically screamed.

'If you were gay.'

'ARGH!'

The music came to a halt and the boys were greeted with a generous round of applause.

"In case you couldn't tell Rod is gay," Kurt piped up.

"That was great guys!" Will declared. "Kurt, since you're already up here do you want to audition now?"

"Alright, I'll be singing a piece from Grease, and yes it is sung by a girl traditionally," Kurt began. But if you have a problem with that then why the hell are you doing RENT?"

A couple of people chuckled at this as Kurt handed Brad his music and began to sing.

'Look at me, I'm Sandra Dee
Lousy with virginity
Won't go to bed 'til I'm legally wed
I can't; I'm Sandra Dee'

'Watch it! Hey I'm Doris Day
I was not brought up that way
Won't come across,
Even Rock Hudson lost
His heart to Doris Day'

'I don't drink'

He sang making a drinking motion.

"No!" The female gleeks coursed.

Or swear

"No!"

I don't rat my hair

"Eww!" The girls sang recoiling in fake disgust.

I get ill from one cigarette

"Cough, cough, cough"

'Keep your filthy paws
Off my silky draws' He ran a well moisturized hand up his leg.
'Would you pull that crap with Annette?'

'As for you Troy Donahue,
I know what you wanna do
You got your crust
I'm no object of lust
I'm just plain Sandra Dee'

'Elvis, Elvis, let me be!'

Kurt sang overacting.
'Keep that pelvis far from me!
Just keep your cool
Now your starting to drool
Hey Fongool, I'm Sandra Dee!'

Kurt was applauded greatly and greeted with plenty of giggles and chuckles.

"Alright who's next?" Shockingly Quinn raised her hand next. "Alright go ahead Quinn."

"After a lot of thought I decided I'll be singing 'I'm not that girl' from Wicked." The soft music started up behind her and she began to sing,

'Hands touch, eyes meet
Sudden silence, sudden heat
Hearts leap in a giddy whirl
He could be that boy
But I'm not that girl.' She crooned.

'Don't dream too far
Don't lose sight of who you are
Don't remember that rush of joy
He could be that boy
I'm not that girl'

Sam furrowed his eyebrows in confusion as did Finn both jocks trying to figure out what there past/current love interest was singing about.

'Every so often we long to steal
To the land of what-might-have-been
But that doesn't soften the ache we feel
When reality sets back in' The cheerio sang with a certain gentle passion that left virtually everyone wondering what she was so passionate about.

'Blithe smile, lithe limb
She who's winsome, she wins him
Gold hair with gentle curl
That's the girl he chose
And heaven knows
I'm not that girl...'

Quinn sang.

'Don't wish, don't start
Wishing only wounds the heart
I wasn't born for the rose and pearl
There's a girl I know
He loves her so
I'm not that girl...'

Quinn finished her song and received a good amount of applause that she didn't really listen to; instead she awkwardly lingered at the front of the classroom as Will congratulated her.

"Alright Santana do you wanna go next?" Will asked noticing the cheerleaders hand was raised.

"Of course," She said. "Britt, do you mind?" Brittany nodded and pulled her chair up to the front of the room. "I will be singing a song from RENT because there isn't enough songs out there that show off my sex appeal. Because let's face it with the exception of Britt none of you are sexy enough to play Mimi. But if that doesn't prove it to you I'm sure this will." At the snap of her fingers various geeky looking guys came in carrying a ballet bar that had to bars one on top of the other about a foot apart. They also brought in a red kimono as Santana pulled her hair into a ponytail. They then handed Brittany a guitar. "Hit it!" Santana yelled and the band immediately began to play.

'What's the time?
Well it's gotta be close to midnight
My body's talking to me
It says, "Time for danger"
It says "I wanna commit a crime
Wanna be the cause of a fight' At this line she put her hands up as if she was actually part of a fist fight.
'Wanna put on a tight skirt and flirt
With a stranger' She chose this moment to take off her kimono revealing her cheerleading outfit.
'I've had a knack from way back
At breaking the rules once I learn the games
Get up - life's too quick
I know someplace sick
Where this chick'll dance in the flames' Santana moved her hips in a dancing motion.
'We don't need any money' She made an action that basically said 'ker-ching ker-ching'
'I always get in for free' She feigned putting on make-up out of a compact.
'You can get in too
If you get in with me'

'Let's go out tonight
I have to go out tonight' She removed her ponytail and shook out her hair to give it a wild affect.
'You wanna play?
Let's run away
We won't be back before it's Christmas day
Take me out tonight'

After singing this verse she added a 'meow' for good measure.

'When I get a wink from the doorman
Do you know how lucky you'll be?
That you're on line with the feline of Avenue B'

At this point she had taken to balancing along the bottom bar of the ballet bar she was currently walking along it making her way towards Brittany.

'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'

Her demeanour then changed to that of a sadder one, she sat on the second bar and continued to sing.

'In the evening I've got to roam
Can't sleep in the city of neon and chrome
Feels too damn much like home
When the Spanish babies cry
So let's find a bar
So dark we forget who we are'
'And all the scars from the
Nevers and maybes die' At the last to lines of the song she took her nails and ran them along her arm before slapping the area she scarred twice.

'Let's go out tonight
Have to go out tonight
You're sweet
Wanna hit the street?
Wanna wail at the moon like a cat in heat?
Just take me out tonight'

She jumped off the bar and began to make her way toward Brittany who was trying to act oblivious but was not so subtly sneaking glances at Santana.

'Please take me out tonight
Don't forsake me - out tonight
I'll let you make me - out tonight'
'Tonight'

She struck a pose 'tonight' pose 'tonight' and after one last pose she pulled Brittany into a shocking and passionate kiss.

A few of the glee clubbers let out a whoop at the kiss others were shocked but most applauded Santana rendition of the popular song.

"Can I go next?" Brittany asked. Will simply nodded his head he was one of the few people that were in shock of Brittany and Santana's display of affection. "I need Rachel's help."

"What?" Rachel questioned. "You never told me you'd need my help, I don't even know what your singing."

"Don't worry just sit down and I'll take care of it," Brittany explained cheerfully. "You always blab on and on about the musical it's from anyway."

Soon familiar chords began to ring out and Rachel's eyes automatically lit up as Brittany began to sing.

She spoke the first few lyrics, 'Elphie, now that we're friends, I've decided to make you my new project!'

'You really don't have to do that...' Rachel spoke acting awkward and uncomfortable.

'I know, that's what makes me so nice!' Brittany said before bursting into song.

'Whenever I see someone less fortunate than I,

And let's face it, who isn't less fortunate than I?

My tender heart tends to start to bleed.

And when someone needs a makeover,

I simply have to take over!

I know, I know exactly what they need!' She sang buzzing around Rachel.

'And even in your case,

Though it's the toughest case I've yet to face,

Don't worry, I'm determined to succeed!

Follow my lead,

And yes indeed, you will be...'

'POPULAR!' She made a very eccentric hand gesture.

'You're gonna be popular!

I'll teach you the proper poise,

When you talk to boys,

Little ways to flirt and flounce,

ooh!

I'll show you what shoes to wear!

How to fix your hair!

Everything that really counts to be...' She began playing around with Rachel's hair and clothes, though mainly she was just randomly touching them acting as if she was doing something very important.

'POPULAR!' Same hand gesture.

'I'll help you be popular!

You'll hang with the right cohorts,

You'll be good at sports,

Know the slang you've got to know.

So let's start,

'Cause you've got an awfully long way to go!'

'Don't be offended by my frank analysis,

Think of it as personality dialysis,

Now that I've chosen to become a

Pal, a sister and advisor,

There's nobody wiser!

Not when it comes to...'

'POPULAR!' Yet another hand gesture.

'I know about popular.

and with an assist from me,

to be who you'll be,

instead of dreary who you were...

Well, are.

There's nothing that can stop you,

from becoming popu-ler... lar...' She trailed of for a moment before getting right back into her happy demeanour.

'la la, la la!

We're gonna make you pop-u-lar!

When I see depressing creatures,

With unprepossessing features,

I remind them on their own behalf

To - think – of

Celebrated heads of state,

Or specially great communicators!

Did they have brains or knowledge?

Don't make me laugh!'

'They were POPULAR!' You guessed it another hand gesture.

'Please!

It's all about popular.

It's not about aptitude,

It's the way you're viewed,

So it's very shrewd to be,

Very very popular

like ME!'

'Why, Miss Elphaba, look at you. you're beautiful!' She said

'I, I have to go...' Rachel said jetting back to her seat.

'You're welcome...' Brittany trailed off before getting right back into the Galinda mindset.

'And though you protest,

Your disinterest,

I know clandestinely,

You're gonna grin and bear it!

Your new found popularity!

Aah!

La la, la la!

You'll be popular!

Just not quite as popular as ME!'

Brittany held the last note for quite sometime surprising and impressing most. She smiled a bubbly smile and returned to her seat next to Santana.

"Wow, good job Brittany," will congratulated. "Who's next?"

Puck raised his hand, "Can I go next? Finn and I have something ready." At this Rachel looked absolutely betrayed.

"Alright guys go ahead," Will said as the two football players made there way up to the front of the choir room.

"We'll be doing We Can Do It from the Producers." Puck explained as the music began.

'Don't you see, Bloom. Darling Bloom, glorious Bloom. It's so simple.' Puck began.
'Step One: we find the worst play ever written.' He held up one finger.
'Step Two: we hire the worst director in town.' Two fingers
'Step Three: I raise two million dollars...' Three fingers

'Two?'

Finn asked.

'Yes! One for me, one for you. There's a lot of little old ladies out there.'

Puck explained while he sang.
'Step Four: We hire the worst actors in New York and open on Broadway.' Four fingers
'And before you can say Step Five, we close on Broadway, take our two million and go to Rio.' And the fifth finger appeared.

'Rio? Nah, that'd never work.' Finn dismissed.

Puck slung an arm over Finn's shoulder a glassy look in his eye. 'Oh ye of little faith.
What did Lewis say to Clark
When everything looked bleak?
What did Sir Edmund say to Tenzing
As they struggled toward Everest's peak?
What did Washington say to his troops
As they crossed the Delaware
I'm sure you're well aware...'

'What'd they say?'

Finn asked/sang.

Puck went into full on Broadway mode. 'We can do it, we can do it
We can do it, me and you
We can do it, we can do it
We can make our dreams come true
Everything you've ever wanted
Is just waiting to be had
Beautiful girls, wearing nothing but pearls
Caressing you, undressing you
And driving you mad
We can do it, we can do it
This is not the time to shirk
We can do it, you won't rue it
Say goodbye to petty clerk
Hi, producer: yes, producer
I mean you, sir, go berserk!
We can do it, we can do it
And I know it's gonna work
Whatta ye say, Bloom?'

'What do I say
Finally a chance to be a Broadway producer!
What do I say?
Finally a chance to make my dreams come true, sir!
What do I say, what do I say
Here's what I say to you, sir...'

Finn sang before his tone dropped into a much less optimistic one.

'I can't do it, I can't do it
I can't do it, that's not me
I'm a loser, I'm a coward
I'm a chicken, don't you see?
When it comes to wooing women
There's a few things that I lack
Beautiful girls, wearing nothing but pearls...
Cashing me, embracing me
I'd have an attack'

'Why, you miserable, cowardly, wretched little caterpillar!
Don't you ever want to become a butterfly?
Don't you want to spread your wings and flap your way to glory?'

Puck insulted.

'We can do it

We can do it

We can grab that holy grail!

We can do it

We can do it

Drink champagne, not ginger ale

Come on, Leo
Can't you see-o ...'

Puck sang while Finn was singing,

'Mr. Bialystock
Please stop the song
You've got me wrong
I'll say "so long"
I'm not as strong
A person as you think
Mr. Bialystock
Just take a look
I'm not a crook
I'm just a shnook
The bottom line
Is that I stink!
I...can't...
Do...it!'

'You see Rio, I see jail!' Finn sang.

'We can do it!'

Puck sang

'I can't do it!' Finn sang with a shake of his head.

'We can do it!'

'I cannot, cannot, cannot
'Cause I know it's gonna fail'

'We can do it!
I know it cannot fail'

'It's gonna fail'

Finn added pessimistically.

The boys were greeted with numerous laughs and a gracious amount of clapping, though one person didn't clap and she certainly didn't laugh. Rachel Berry was undeniably and unbelievably ticked off, she began to glare profusely at Finn and Puck both either didn't notice or chose not to say anything.

"Can I go now?" Finn asked.

"Go ahead, Finn." Will said.

"Well it's not really from a musical that's been on Broadway but it's from a musical all the same."

'Home,
I've heard the word before,
but it never meant much more
than just a thing I've never had.' He sang tapping his feet along with the beat.

'A "place,"
They say, "Hey, know your place!"
But I've never had a place to even know,
or a face that I could go to
if I needed someone there...' He sang trailing off a bit as he attempted to put emotion into the song.

'I'm laughing
it's hard to hide a smile
My god, it's been a while
since I have had a reason to.' He let out something that sounded similar to exhaling with joy.

'To think
it's been here all along
somewhere to belong,
and a reason,
a something-to-believe-in'

Finn had begun to really dig into some deep emotion as he began to really get into the performance.

'I've finally found it,
a place where I'm wanted...
This must be how it feels to have a home

I used to dream about it
but never schemed or counted
on fantasies or wishes-
it breaks a man to see what he misses'

He sang his voice now filled with an odd sort of passion.

'For so many nights I'd pray
for a better life, a better day
but I never thought that it'd come true
It's finally here and I don't know what to do
and I'm trying not to cry

This must be how it feels
to have a home'

He couldn't seem to stop smiling his dopey grin that was now filled with pure joy.

'I've finally made it
I've hoped and I've waited
and for the first time in my life, I don't feel so
alone

My heart starts to heal
to know this is real.
This is how it must feel
to have a home!'

He held the last note for a moment before wrapping up the song.

He was greeted with a very warm round of applause, even Santana and Puck were smiling as opposed to there usual smirks.

"Thanks guys," Finn said. "That song basically summed up my glee club experience."

"I think it summed up everyone's, Finn." Will said a proud smile on his face. "Who's next?" Mike and Tina raised there hands. "Alright Mike and Tina I take it you two are singing together."

"Yep," Tina said. "Mike and I will be singing to songs one for each of our auditions and I can assure you they will be awesome. My audition's first."

Mike started off the song crooning the words softly.

'No more talk of darkness
Forget these wide-eyed fears
I'm here, nothing can harm you
My words will warm and calm you

Let me be your freedom
Let daylight dry your tears
I'm here, with you, beside you
To guard you and to guide you'

Tina then began her verse

'Say you'll love me every waking moment
Turn my head with talk of summer time
Say you need me with you now and always
Promise me that all you say is true
That's all I ask of you'

'Let me be your shelter
Let me be your light
You're safe, no one will find you
Your fears are far behind you'

Mike sang

'All I want is freedom
A world with no more night
And you, always beside me
To hold me and to hide me'

Tina sang back.

'Then say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime
Let me lead you from your solitude
Say you need me with you here, beside you
Anywhere you go, let me go too
Christine, that's all I ask of you'

Mike sang

'Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime
Say the word and I will follow you'

Tina sang before the couples voices came together.

'Share each day with me, each night, each morning'

The couple had grabbed each other's hands and began singing directly each other.

'Say you love me'

Tina sang.

'You know I do'

Mike replied.

'Love me, that's all I ask of you.'

They finished together.

They were applauded though it was quite obvious there were a few people thinking 'God was that cheesy' or something of that affect.

"Now this next one is my audition," Mike said.

"This song's a little out of my range so really focus on Mike," Tina added as the music started.

'Lift up your head
Wash off your mascara
Here, take my Kleenex
Wipe that lipstick away
Show me your face
Clean as the morning
I know things were bad
But now they're okay

Suddenly Seymour
Is standing beside you
You don't need no makeup
Don't have to pretend
Suddenly Seymour
Is here to provide you
Sweet understanding
Seymour's your friend'

Mike sang his voice fitting perfectly with the lyrics.

Tina sang the next two verses. 'Nobody ever
Treated me kindly
Daddy left early
Mama was poor
I'd meet a man and
I'd follow him blindly
He'd snap his fingers
Me, I'd say "sure"

Suddenly Seymour
Is standing' beside me
He don't give me orders
He don't condescend
Suddenly Seymour
Is here to provide me
Sweet understanding
Seymour's my friend'

By the time she was done it was quite obvious she wasn't lying when she said it wasn't in her range, though she sounded good belting was never exactly up her alley.

'Tell me this feeling lasts till forever
Tell me the bad times are clean washed away' Mike crooned gently.

'Please understand that it's still
Strange and frightening'
For losers like I've been
It's so hard to say

Suddenly Seymour'

Tina sang back still struggling to belt.

'Suddenly Seymour
He purified me
He purified you'

Mike sang

'Suddenly Seymour showed me I can'

Tina crooned.

'Suddenly Seymour showed you you can'

Mike sang back.

'Learn how to be more
The girl that's inside me (you)
With sweet understanding'

They finished the sing together gently.

The couple smiled widely as there friends applauded, still noting the cheesiness in there minds. "Great job guys!" Will said. "Who wants to go next?"

Mercedes raised her hand, "I'll go," She made her way to the front of the classroom. "I'll be doing another song from Dreamgirls 'cause let's face it I rocked the first one."

'Never met a man
Quite like you
Doing all he can
Making my dreams come true' She began, her Aretha like soul coming through.

'You're strong and you're smart
You've taken my heart
And I give you the rest of me too

You're the perfect man for me
I love you I do'

She continued getting more and more powerful as the song went on.

'Mm I love ya

Never ever felt
Quite like this
Good about myself
From our very first kiss
I'm here when you call
you've got it all
And confidence like I never knew'

Mercedes just continued to get stronger.

'You're the perfect man for me
I love you I do

You've got the charm
You simply disarm me every time
As long as you drive
I'm along for the ride
Your way
You said it before
There wont be a door
that's closed to us
Putting all my trust in you
Cause you, you'll always be true, Oh'

It was as if a ton of built up passion was coming out through this song.

'I never could have known
This would be,
Oh you and you alone
All for me
I know you're the best
You passed every test
Its almost too good to be true

You're the perfect man for me
I love you I do

You're the perfect man for me
I love you I do'

She belted out the last note and received a standing ovation from her peers.

"Alright Sam, Rachel, which one of you wants to go next?"

Sam tentatively raised his hand, "I'll go." He walked up to the front of the room. "So I don't really know musical theatre that well so I decided to go with what I know. Mind you I only really know this because my mom has a somewhat unhealthy obsession with Neil Patrick Harris... but that's beside the point."

The chords began to play and Sam awkwardly took his position and began to sing.

'This appeared as a moral dilemma
Cause at first it was weird though I swore to eliminate
The worst of the plague that devoured humanity
It's true I was vague on the 'How'
so how can it be that you have shown me the light?' He sang slowly beginning to develop some stage presence.

'It's a brand new day
And the sun is high
All the birds are singing
That you're gonna die

How I hesitated
Now I wonder why
It's a brand new day'

Sam slowly began to get into the performance.

'All the times that you beat me unconscious I'll forgive
All the crimes Incomplete, listen honestly I'll live
Mr. Cool, Mr. Right, Mr. Knowitall is through
Now my future's so bright and I owe it all to you Who showed me the light

It's a brand new me
I've got no remorse
Now the water's rising but I know the course
I'm gonna shock the world
Gonna Show Bad Horse
It's a Brand New Day'

Sam was now very into the song.

'And Penny will see the evil me
Not a joke not a dork not a failure
And she may cry but her tears will dry
When I hand her the keys to a shiny new Australia.

It's a brand new day
Yeah the sun is high
All the angels sing
Because you're gonna die'

The 'blonde' had a certain magneticness to him.

'Go ahead and laugh
Yeah I'm a funny guy
Tell everyone goodbye
It's a brand new day'

He finished with a modest and slightly embarrassed smile only to be enveloped in applause.

"Great job, Sam!" Will said. "Rachel, you're up."

The diva walked up to the front of the room, "I'll be singing 'Hopelessly Devoted to You' from 'Grease'. I was going to sing it too someone specifically because Grease played a part in our relationship but now I'm just going to sing in general."

Puck gave Finn a somewhat hard slap on the arm accompanied by a look that said 'What did you do now?' the tall teenager just shrugged and turned back to Rachel who had just begun singing.

'Guess mine is not the first heart broken
My eyes are not the first to cry
I'm not the first to know there's
Just no getting over you' She crooned emotion over taking her.

'You know I'm just a fool who's willing
To sit around and wait for you
But baby can't you see there's nothing else for me to do
I'm hopelessly devoted to you' Despite her better judgement her passion began to come out.

'But now there's no where to hide
Since you pushed my heart aside
I'm outta my head hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you' She tried to avoid making eye contact with Finn...

'My head is saying fool forget him
My heart is saying don't let go
Hold on to the end that's what I intend to do
I'm hopelessly devoted to you'

...But ultimately failed.

'But now there's no where to hide
Since you pushed my love aside
I'm outta my head hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you' The moment Rachel and Finn's eyes met her anger towards him quickly faded and once she finished her song she went to sit next to him wrapping his long arm around her tiny shoulder.

She received scattered applause, because no matter how amazing she sounded she was still Rachel. Will went to wrap up the rehearsal, "Alright guys great job today. I should have the cast list posted on my office door by tomorrow."

"Are you sure you can do that?" Rachel asked. "It's a little hard don't you think?"

"Trust me, Rachel, I can handle it." Will assured her.

*Glee*Glee*Glee*

"I can't handle it, Em." Will said with a groan. "There is no way I can choose the cast list in a day."

"Then why'd you tell the kids that?" Emma asked as she stared at the man sitting across from her.

"Because we don't have anytime to spare," Will explained. "I need to have this musical prepared fast. But all the kids were great today."

"Alright let's make it easy, we'll just go part by part." Emma said. "Who should play Roger?"

"Well, Finn is the male lead so it makes sense if he plays the lead but puck definitely has the rockstar appeal."

"Alright, hold on I'll write this down." Emma said. "What about Mimi?"

"Well Rachel definitely has the voice for Mimi but Santana has the attitude and Brittany can definitely dance like Mimi."

"Uh-huh, and Mark?"

"Well Artie and Finn both have his awkwardness down but with Artie's wheelchair it could be difficult. And I could easily see Mike playing Mark for some reason."

"Maureen?"

"Rachel can obviously pull of Idina but I kind of wanna see Brittany and Santana sing 'Take me or Leave me'"

"Joanne?"

"Mercedes definitely sounds closest to Tracie Thoms or Fredi Walker, but I'd love to see one of the girls who don't get to sing a lot sing this song."

"Angel?"

"Kurt, I know I may be stereotyping and all but Kurt is meant to play Angel."

"Collins?"

"That's tough because none of the guys would really want to kiss another guy however if I had to choose I'd say either Sam or Puck."

"What about Benny?"

"Part of me really wants to say Finn for some reason but I'm also leaning towards Mike."

"Alright, here's what I've got note wise." Emma said handing him a piece of paper.

Will scanned the paper for a moment, "I think I've got my cast."
