Outside your comfort zone Chapter 3: Week one: Performances, a glee fanfic

Hey guys I'm back! I am so sorry it took so long! Please forgive me. Anyway so this chapter will be the performances so let's get on with it.

Mr. Schuster clapped his hands together, "Alright guys' time to see your performances who wants to go first?"

Rachel immediately raised her hand shockingly so did Mike.

"Alright why don't we have Mike and Finn go first." Mr Schue said.

The two boys went to the front of the music room. Mr Schuster spoke up. "Alright guys do you wanna say something before you perform?"

Finn shrugged, "Um, there really isn't anything to say except vote for us!" He cleared his throat and began to sing,

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
Far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender

Mike than began to sing.

I could stay lost in this moment forever
Well, every moment spent with you
Is a moment I treasure

The boys harmonized

I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing

Finn began to think of the two most important girls in his life – other than you know his mom – Quinn and Rachel, as he sang the next verse

Lying close to you
Feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes and thank God we're together
And I just wanna stay with you
In this moment forever, forever and ever

Once again the boys harmonized for the chorus Finn's eyes darting from Quinn to Rachel, while Mike's stayed locked on Brittany.

Mike took on this verse still locking yes with Brittany who was currently beaming at him.

I don't wanna miss one smile
I don't wanna miss one kiss
Well, I just wanna be with you
Right here with you, just like this
I just wanna hold you close
Feel your heart so close to mine
And stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time

Finn took this chorus by himself staring at Rachel's bright smile and Quinn's small sad one.

Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
'Cause I'd still miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing

Mike sang the next part beaming almost as much as Brittany.

The boy's finished together.

Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep, yeah
I don't wanna miss a thing

Immediately after they finished applause broke out though most of it was from Brittany. The two boys took there seats after Brittany had finished a few minutes or they would have but, Brittany decided to run up there and begin a heavy make-out session with Mike.

Mr. Schuster cleared his throat and the couple parted and quickly took there seats blushing like crazy. "Okay guys that was awesome I love the classic rock, who wants to go next?"

Once again there was Rachel's hand and this time Artie's also. "Okay Artie and Matt how bout it."

The two boys walked – or in Artie's case wheeled – up to the front. Matt opened his mouth, "So pretty much what Finn said there's no real hidden meaning behind the song we just thought it would be fun, oh and vote for us!" Artie then began to sing,

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone.
It's not warm when she's away.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
and she's always gone too long
anytime she goes away.

Matt took over paced around the music room as he sang.

Wonder this time where she's gone,
wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
and this house just ain't no home
anytime she goes away.

Artie began to sing once again wheeling back and force as he did.

And I know, I know, I know,

I know, I know, I know,

I know, I know, I know, I know,

Matt stepped in putting the occasional emphasis

I know, I know, I know, I know,

I know, I know, I know, I know

The two boys came together for the last verse.

Hey, I ought to leave the young thing alone,
but ain't no sunshine when she's gone,
ain't no sunshine when she's gone,
only darkness everyday.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone,
and this house just ain't no home
anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.

The room was once again filled with applause, "Guys that was great." Will began, "whose next?"

This time Rachel obviously put her hand in the air but so did Puck.

"Puck man, go ahead."

Puck grabbed his guitar as he and Mercedes made there way to the center of the room Puck quickly said something, "so uh, we decided after quite a bit of arguing that Mercedes would shockingly sing back-up so here it goes." And he began to play guitar as he sang,

More and more
I can't say no
So afraid of letting go
If there's something
I can grab
You can bet
I'll pay the tab
Counting all the flowers
Waste the precious hours
I need to find some peace

All these problems on my mind
Make it hard for me to think
There is no way I can stop
My poor brain is gonna' pop
And I don't have a purpose
Scattered on the surface
I need to find some peace

Mercedes occasionally added in ah 'oh-ho-ho whoa' or vocal run.

And all the broken tethers
We can bring together
I need to find some peace

Puck finished up he was staring intently at certain glee club members such as Quinn, Finn and shockingly Rachel

I need to find some peace
I need to find some peace

For the first time in a while the room was silent, until Mr. Schue decided he didn't want them to feel so bad so he began to clap, "Good job you guys! So I thought we should let Rachel go because I know she's been itching to.

Rachel jetted to the front of the room with Brittany trailing behind both girl were wearing tan trench coats at least two sizes to big for them Rachel began to spoke, "So Brittany and I though that we should do a performance that was very light and bouncy because there really isn't much happiness in the world also peace!"

'Does she just have these things memorized' Puck thought remembering her speech on her mash-up but before Puck could dwell on it Rachel began to sing

You change your mind like a girl changes clothes

At this point the girl dropped there trench coats to reveal that they both were wearing, hot pink scoop-neck tank tops that flowed and were drenched in sparkles – Brittany's idea – and a pink and purple plaid mini skirt – Rachel's idea. Rachel then continued singing.

Yeah, you change you PMS like a bitch I would know
And you always think, always speak cryptically
I should know that you're no good for me

As the course cam the two girls began to dance on the first line they began to fan themselves with there hands before pretending to shiver

'Cause you're hot and you're cold

Then came the thumbs up and the thumbs down

You're yes and you're no

The hop forward and back

You're in and you're out

The jump and swivel of the hips so they could go down

You're up and you're down
You're wrong when it's right
You're black and it's white

The fake punching.

We fight, we break up

And the most exciting where Rachel blew a kiss at Finn

We kiss, we make up

Rachel pointed at Finn as she sang the next line

You, you don't really wanna stay, no

And Puck on the next

But you, you don't really wanna go, oh

And once again the girls began to dance this time Rachel winked at Puck on the last line well Brittany blew Mike a quick kiss

'Cause you're hot and you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down

Brittany took the next verse

We used to be just like twins, so in sync
The same energy now's a dead battery
Used to laugh 'bout nothing, now you're plain boring
I should know that you're not gonna change

The girls sang together and once again began to dance and this time Rachel's wink was directed at Finn

'Cause you're hot and you're cold
You're yes and you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down

You're wrong when it's right
You're black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up

And then came the pointing

You, you don't really wanna stay, no
But you, you don't really wanna go, oh

You're hot and you're cold
You're yes and you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down

Rachel took this part she made a fake telephone as she sung this part

Someone call the doctor
Got a case of a love bipolar

Brittany finished up the verse making a fake roller coaster with her arm

Stuck on a roller coaster
Can't get off this ride

The girls finished off the song together ending with the dance

You change your mind like a girl changes clothes

'Cause you're hot and you're cold
You're yes and you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down

You're wrong when it's right
You're black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We hug, we make up

And then there was applause and lots of it, the girls quickly put on there trench coats and hurried to there seats. Mr. Schuster cleared hi throat, "Okay Kurt and Quinn ready?"

Kurt stayed seated, "Yes we are Mr. Schue."

Um, where's Quinn?"

Kurt smirked, "You'll see." And the music began to play,

Quinn immerged from the doorway singing she was wearing something shaped like Rachel's cat suit but it was two pieces. While Quinn made her way into the music room Kurt was leading Finn and Puck – much too there discomfort – to the two empty chairs at the front of the room.

Feeling better now that we're through
Feeling better 'cause I'm over you
I learned my lesson, it left a scar
Now I see how you really are

Quinn approached Finn at this point she took a seat on his lap.

You're no good
You're no good
You're no good
Baby you're no good

Quinn got up to face Finn she grasped his shoulders and got right in his face

I'm gonna say it again
You're no good
You're no good
You're no good
Baby you're no good

She then approached Puck

I broke a heart that's gentle and true
Well I broke a heart over someone like you

Got down on her knees and made a pleading motion.

I'll beg his forgiveness on bended knee
I wouldn't blame him if he said to me

She stood up and started just singing eyes locked on Finn ready to pounce

You're no good
You're no good
You're no good
Baby you're no good

I'm gonna say it again
You're no good
You're no good
You're no good
Baby you're no good

She headed back to Finn's lap once again singing to him she shimmied toward him so there faces were inches apart.

I'm telling you now baby and I'm going my way
Forget about you baby 'cause I'm leaving to stay

Just before she leaned in to kiss him she snapped her head back and bounced back to the front of the room to finish her song.

You're no good
You're no good
You're no good
Baby you're no good

She locked eyes with Puck for this verse

I'm gonna say it again
You're no good
You're no good
You're no good
Baby you're no good

And then went back to Finn for the big finish

Oh, oh no
You're no good
You're no good
You're no good
Baby you're no good

Will swallowed, "Um, good job guys Santana and Tina why don't you finish us off?"

Tina gulped, "Well the thing is we don't have a song we just can't work well together and Santana texted and sexted the entire rehearsal and I just couldn't find a good song!"

"It's okay guys I really wanted you to work together but I will let it go this time." Mr. Shuster said emphasising 'this time' "Alright guys let's vote for your favourite performance!"

So I'm going to end it there. Please let me know which performance was your favourite! The songs used were

Brittany and Rachel: Hot n' cold by Katy Perry

Puck and Mercedes: Peace by Weezer
