All right so, this is the Artie and Mike chapter. Hope you enjoy it. Please review, it's not that long and it would really help me write better. I still don't own Disney or Glee, maybe tomorrow.
It was a bit awkward, the ex-boyfriend and current boyfriend of Tina, working together. But Artie had never had any true feelings of animosity for Mike, it wasn't as if she'd cheated on him with Mike, but that didn't make it any less weird.
"So…" Mike began, shaking his head anxiously. "I can't sing,"
"I can't dance." Artie replied, despite the harshness of the joke, they both smirked.
"All right so, where do we start?" Mike asked, sitting down next to Artie,
"Well do think you could maybe rap?" Artie asked, Mike paused for a moment and Artie saw and was surprised at how insecure than Asian looked at the prospect of being made fun of or failing.
"I can give it a shot," Mike agreed. Artie smiled and the tension faded, "So you know I was thinking, though this isn't a rap, what about 'A dream is a wish your heart makes' from Cinderella." Artie stared for moment before his face broke into a grin,
"That is actually awesome! And I actually think there is version of that that is kind of poppy, I'll check." Mike nodded; glad he was able to contribute more than just fancy dance moves. He would never wish away his dance talent, but when he would sit in the back of the choir room and listen to the others sing their hearts out, in their beautiful voices, he couldn't help but feel jealous. That is until he looked down at Artie, who would never even be granted the luxury of walking, let alone dancing. Sometimes perspective kicks you in the mouth.
"Here it is," Artie's voice pulled Mike out of his thoughts, "It's done by Disney channel stars. We'll have to change it up a lot, but I think we could really make something out of this." Artie looked up at Mike and grinned, "So is being able to sing a wish your heart makes?" Mike looked hesitant, who was he to complain when Artie clearly had the bigger problem.
"Yeah, kinda, I see you guys up there in front of me, singing, and I know, I could never sing like that. Not that I'm saying I'm not lucky and that I don't love dancing, it's just… you know." Artie nodded,
"It's not so easy being in this wheelchair, and I would give ANYTHING to be able to dance like you, but I hear you." There was another moment of awkwardness, where both boys shifted unsure of what to do. Mike made the first move and reached over and pressed play on the youtube video.
A dream is a wish
Everyone was surprised when Mike sung the first part of the song, even if it was soft and breathy. Then the music kicked in a poppy beat that none of them remember from the sweet Disney movie they had watched so many times.
A dream is a wish your heart makes,
when your fast asleep,
In Dreams you will lose your heartaches,
Whatever you wish for you keep..
Artie's voice crooned smoothly and he wheeled backward to the piano, and Mike, in the middle of a dance move, raised Artie up and sat him on the piano. The beat picked up and Mike grinned and spun around and shook his shoulders.
Have Faith in your dreams and someday,
Your Rainbow will come smiling through..
Mike moved and laid down on the floor and used his shins to move Artie's feet like he were dancing. Artie matched his legs with his arms, moving them in perfect sync.
No matter how your heart is grievin,
If you keep on believin..
Mike joined in on one line before leaping up from the floor
The dream that you wish will come true.
Hey Yea Yea
Yea Yea!
Hey Yea Yea Yea
Yea!
Hey Yea Yea Yea! Hey Yeah!
Both boys smiled at each other and continued to dance, this time tho, Mike was in Artie's chair, wheeling in circles while Artie stayed on the piano and moved his upper body.
A dream is a wish your heart makes..
Mike ran over to the microphone and looked nervously at it before singing his next line.
When you're feeling small...
Artie gave him a thumbs up and used his arms to move his legs so they sat on the piano as well. He wrapped his arms around his knees as he sang,
Alone in the night you whisper..
Thinking no one can hear you at all
(Hear you at all..)
Mike ran up and pushed Artie's legs so that he spun around, both of them beaming as they moved their heads from side to side, in exact time with the other.
You wake with the morning sunlight..
To find fortune that is smiling on you..
(Smiling on you)
Mike once again helped Artie into his chair but flipped the chair halfway back, spinning it around at the same time. Artie grinned even as he sung,
Don't let your heart be filled with sorrow for all you know tomorrow
Mike then flipped over Artie's chair once it was once again up right and then stepped out of the way so Artie could be seen.
The dream that you wish will come true..
They weaved around each other, Artie moving just as much as Mike.
Hey yea yea yea Hey yea
(A dream is a wish)
Hey yea yea yea Hey yea
They had what the other lacked, one couldn't sing but could dance, the other couldn't dance but could sing,
When you can dream then you can start
(Then you can start!)
A dream is a wish you make with your heart
(Make with your heart)
When you can dream then you can start
(A dream is a wish, Yeah!)
A dream is a wish you..
Make with your heart
The rest of the club was on their feet cheering before they even finished the last note. Tina ran up and wrapped her arms around Mike and then hugged Artie too, and it wasn't even a little bit awkward. This wasn't about relationships or lack thereof, it was about two people, who had different talents, that had learned to make them work together. And when everyone thought about it, that's what glee club in general was about.
Ok so… Blaine and Santana are next. I am writing the Kurt and Puck one, though they are slightly harder than Blaine and Santana, it don't know when I'll update, I am still writing other stories so… bear with me. Thank you for reading
