Wow, I just want to thank all who reviewed and all who like this so far. I read a lot of these myself but never before they met. So I decided to do it myself. Hope you continue to like it and if something is wrong or I got things mixed up please let me know. Forgot to say this in the first chapter but I OWN NOTHING.

Chapter 2

Thad hit play and the show started.

The cheerleading squad, the Cheerios, are practicing routines. They are being watched and timed by Sue Sylvester, their coach. One of the cheerleaders falls from the top of the formation.

Sue picked up a megaphone and said," You think this is hard? Try being waterboarded. That's hard." Then she blows her whistle.

The warblers look at each other at that. Trent is the one to ask, "What?" (A/N: I think this went over my head.) The others shrug and go back to the show.

The next scene shows a car pulling into the parking lot. "He might what to get that muffler fixed," said David.The teacher that was driving gets out. He approaches a dumpster where a group of jocks including Puck and Finn are surrounding Kurt. Blaine sees this and winces just a little because he can guess what is going to happen.

"Making some new friends, Kurt?" He asked.

Puck answered him," He sure is, Mr. Schue."

Mr. Shue then looks to Finn and says, "Hey, Finn, you still owe me that report on que hace el verano pasado."

Finn looks confused and asks, "What?"

"What you did last summer," Will answers.

"Almost halfway done with almost all of it, Mr. Schue."

Mr. Schue then leaves.

Puck then turns. "It's hammer time!"

Puck and another jock pick Kurt up. The others now know what is going to happen and are not happy.

"Please, this is from Marc Jacobs' new collection!" He yells.

Finn looks at them and says, "Wait."

The jocks release Kurt. He takes off his jacket and hands it to Finn.

He then says, "Okay."

Puck and the other jock toss Kurk into the dumpster. Finn appears troubled. "What the hell was that!" Wes was mad that they would do that and that a teacher did nothing to help. "That is what happens in public school and you are not popular. I also think he might be gay so that doesn't help," answered Blaine. Nobody had anything to say to that.

We now see standing in front of a trophy display, admiring a first-place trophy that WMHS won at the 1993 Show Choir Championships. Next, he looks at a plaque awarded to Lillian Adler (1937-1997) with the quote "By its very definition, Glee is about opening yourself up to joy."

We then see Mr. schue is teaching a spanish class. Finn is in the class.

Will asks the class to repeat this phrase,"Como esta usted? Yo me llamo Guillermo."

Everyone repeats in a bored tone,"Como esta usted? Yo me llamo Guillermo."

Will gives them another sentence,"Que lastima, hojala que se sienta mejor."

The class repeats it.

"Well they just look like they are having a blast," Said Jeff.

In the choir room Sandy Ryerson and Hank Saunders are singing "Where Is Love?" together. We see Rachel Berry is watching, upset. "Uuuhhh," was heard around the room.

Will and Ken Tanaka are in the teachers lounge standing around a coffee maker without a coffee pot.

Will asks, "Where's the coffee pot?"

Ken looks at him and answers, "Figgins got rid of it. Budget cuts. You know, I know for a fact that they are still getting hot java at Carver. We should strike."

Sue then enters the lounge with coffee drinks for everyone and says, "Hello, boys. Who needs a pick-me-up?"

"Wow, lattes!" Said Ken.

"Yeah, I am a bit of a coffee snob. Now, the key to a perfect latte, is in the temperature of the steamed milk. I like mine scalding, " Sue answers. "Um...I don't think that is the key," said Wes.

At that moment Emma enters. Ken sees her and says, "Hi, Emma."

She looks over and says, "Hey, Ken. Will, hi."

"Hey," is Wills replie.

"What's with all the lattes?" She asks.

Sue answers her, "Oh, Emma, I just felt so awful that Figgins cut the coffee budget to pay for a nutritionist for the Cheerios."

Emma doesn't look that impressed when she says, "Yeah, I heard you guys went, like, $600 over budget on that." "Really, that is what public schools care more about? That there cheerleaders have a good nutrtion," asked David. "From what I remember sports were always a bigger priorty then anything else," said Nick.

"My performers didn't get on Fox Sports Net last year because they ate at Bacon Junction."

Emma can't help but ask, "Since when are cheerleaders performers?" "Good question," said Trent.

Sue's only replie is, "Your resentment is delicious. Well, I have a phoner in a couple of minutes. It's an interview on the telephone with a major media outlet. I'll probably do it on my iPhone. Enjoy."

Will looks up and says, "Thanks a lot, Sue."

Sue leave and Ken walks over and sits down across from Emma.

"I missed you at the, uh, singles mixer last weekend, Emma."

Emma is not really interested and says, "Yeah, I know. Big pipe exploded in my building. It was wild. I hate those mixer things though, I mean, it's like a big meat market. It's just, ugh. I did give my number to a fireman though. But he hasn't called." "Do you get the feeling that she doesn't like him that much?" asked Jeff.

Will replies with, "You know what, there's someone out there for everyone. I wouldn't even sweat it."

Emma looks at them then and says, "Hey, did you hear that Sandy Ryerson got fired?"

Will looks interested and asks, "Really? Well, who's going to take over Glee Club?"

Emma shrugs with an,"Don't know."

Next we see Principal Figgins and Will are seated across from each other.

Will says, "I'd like to take over Glee Club."

Figgins snorts and says, "You want to captain the Titanic, too?" "Well if that doesn't tell you what he thinks of the glee club nothing will," said Blaine.

Will won't give up, "I think I can make it great again. There is no joy in these kids. They feel invisible. That's why every one of them has a MySpace page."

Figgins looks at him, "60 bucks a month. That's what I need to keep this program up."

Will looks surpised and asks, "And you-you expect me to pay it?"

Figgins is unimpressed, "I'm certainly not going to pay for it. We're not talking about Cheerios here, Will. They were on Fox Sports Net last year. When Glee Club starts bringing that kind of prestige to the school again, you can have all the money you want. Until then, 60 bucks a month. And you've got to use the costumes and props you already have. But we need the stools for wood shop."

We are in Wills bedroom next. Terri Schuester is asleep. Will lies wide awake.

We here what Will is thinking, (Hiding the $60 a month from my wife, Terri, was going to be hard. But I had a bigger problem. How was I going to get these kids motivated? One thing I knew for sure, we needed a new name.)

Will sits up, excited and says, "New Directions!" "Ok he does know that if you say the name fast enough that it sounds like," Nick was cutoff by Wes,"Yes Nick we know what it sounds like."

The next day we see and girl walk up to the sign up sheet and write the name Mercedes Jones down.

Next we see Mercedes is on stage and she says, "My name is Mercedes Jones and I'm singing…Aretha Franklin's "Respect"." She then belts it out. "She's good," said David.

Kurt walks up to the sign-up sheet and writes down his name and the we see him on stage and he says, "Hello, I'm Kurt Hummel, and I'll be singing "Mr. Cellophane". He starts to sing. "Holy shit. He's a countertenor," said Wes.

Next we see a girl with a boy in a wheelchair walk up. She writes Tina Cohen-Chang and Artie Abrams down on the sheet.

We see Tina is on stage. She stutters as she says who she is, "Tina C. "I Kissed A Girl." She starts to sing with some interesting dance moves.

We see Artie sing "Let it be." "They're both good," said Blaine. (n/a: I know he didn't sing in the show but i found that they cut that part so I put it in.)

We then see another girl walk up and sign her name as Rachel Berry. She then adds a gold star at the end. We then hear what Rachel is thinking,( You might laugh because every time I sign my name, I put a gold star after it. But it's a metaphor and metaphors are important. My gold stars are a metaphor for me being a star.)

As she turns Puck throws a slushie in her face. "So not only do they throw people into dumpsters, but they throw slushies at them too?" asked Thad.

We see Rachel on stage and she says, "Hi, my name is Rachel Berry, and I'll be singing "On My Own" from the seminal Broadway classic Les Mis."

Will says, "Fantastic, let's hear it."

Rachel starts singing

We see Rachel walking down the hallway in a rush.

We hear her thought again,( And just so we're clear, I want to clear up that hateful rumor that I was the one who turned that closet case Sandy Ryerson in because he gave Hank Saunders the solo I deserved. That's cockpoopie.)

We see Rachel in Figgins office crying, "He was touching Hank, caressing him. It was so wrong!"

Figgins hands her a tissue not looking very impressed. Rachel dabs at her cheeks, smiling.

Rachel is at her locker smiling at a photo that is on the door, (I am not homophobic. In fact, I have two gay dads. See, I was born out of love. My two dads screened potential surrogates based on beauty and IQ. Then they mixed their sperm together and used a turkey baster. To this day, we don't know which one is my real dad, which I think is pretty amazing.)

In a dance studio we see a young Rachel dancing wildly.

Continue of her thoughts, (My dads spoiled me in the arts. I was given dance lessons, vocal lessons, anything to give me a competitive edge.)

We see Rachel in her bedroom looking at her laptop. (You might think that all the boys in school would totally want to tap this, but my MySpace schedule keeps me way too busy to date.)She sets up a video recorder on a tripod and starts to sing. (I try to post a MySpace video every day, just to keep my talent alive and growing. Nowadays, being anonymous is worse than being poor. Fame is the most important thing in our culture now. And if there's one thing I've learned, it's that no one's just gonna hand it to you.) She then uploads a video of her singing. "You know she is good but very full of herself and that may come back to bite her one day," Said Wes.

Show gym with Quinn Fabray, Santana Lopez, and the other Cheerios are watching Rachel's video and laughing. Quinn writes a comment that says "If I were your parents, I would sell you back." Another comment reads "I'm going to scratch out my eyes." Another says "Please get sterilized." A couple people wince at the comments and none of them look happy.

Rachel reads the comments.

Rachel's audition now ends.

"Very nice, Rachel."

"When do we start rehearsals?"

Later in the choir room Rachel, Tina, Mercedes, Kurt, and Artie are rehearsing "Sit Down, You're Rockin' The Boat". Will is directing. They are terrible.

Rachel stops and says, "We suck."

"Uh, it… It'll get there. We-we just need to keep rehearsing."

Rachel won't give up, "Mr. Schuester, do you have any idea how ridiculous it is to give the lead solo in "Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat" to a boy in a wheelchair?" "More ironic then anything,"Said Blaine.

"I think Mr. Schue is using irony to enhance the performance," Artie chimed in.

"There is nothing ironic about show choir!" Rachel then storms out of the room.

Will yells after her, "Rachel… Rachel!"

Sue is down on the football feild yelling at her Cheerios. Rachel is watching from the bleachers.

"That's sloppy! You're sloppy babies! It's just disgraceful! And I want the agony out of your eyes! Uh-uh, Lance, don't you start crying! You are the weak link, pal! How's it feel to be the weak link, huh?! That can't feel very good!" "Ok, really how did she become a teacher?" Asked Jeff.

Will comes up the bleacher and sits down behind Rachel.

"You changed out of your costume."

"I'm tired of being laughed at."

"You're the best kid in there, Rachel. That comes with a price."

"Look, I know I'm just a sophomore, but I can feel the clock ticking away, and I don't want to leave high school with nothing to show for it."

"You get great grades. You're a fantastic singer."

"Everybody hates me."

"Not to be mean but I can see why," said David.

" And you think Glee Club is going to change that?"

"Being great at something is going to change it. Being a part of something special makes you special, right? I need a male lead who can keep up with me vocally."

"Maybe I can coach Artie a little."

"Look, Mr. Schue, I really appreciate what you're trying to do, but if you can't give me what I need, then I'm sorry. I'm not going to make a fool out of myself. I can't keep wasting my time with Glee. It hurts too much." A couple people bite their tongues so they don't say what they think about what she just said.

Ken blows his whistle to get their attention.

"Schuester! Figgins wants you!"

Figgins is punching away at his calculator.

"But we just started rehearsals."

"My hands are tied, Schue. I need the auditorium. Alcoholics Anonymous wants to rent it out for their afternoon meetings. Lots of drunks in this town. They're paying me ten bucks a head."

"If we show at regionals, Glee stays; if not, the bar's open on the auditorium."

"What is it with you and this club? You've got only five kids—one of them's a cripple."

"Then I guess you've got nothing to worry about."

"Fine."

"Yes!"

"But you're running detention for free to make it up to me."

"Deal."

Terri is teaching Howard how to fold a fitted sheet.

"You put your hands in the corners like this. Okay?"

"I can't do it. I'm dyslexic. Maybe I should just stick to towels and washcloths."

"Wait, what does being dyslexic have to do with folding sheets? I thought that was with like numbers and letters," said Nick. "It does," Blaine answers.

"Howard, if you can't fold a fitted sheet, you cannot work at Sheets N' Things."

P.A.: Associate to returns.

"Go. Make sure they have a receipt."

Howard leaves and passes by Will.

"Someone looks beautiful today."

"Hey."

"Hi."

"You look very handsome."

"Thank you. I just thought I'd bring you roast beef on pumpernickel—your favorite."

"Aw. Oh, but does it have mayo?"

"Yeah."

"Will, if my diabetes comes back, I can't get pregnant."

"Well it's the thought that counts right," said Trent.

" I…"

"What is wrong with you?"

"I just wanted to tell you that I'm going to have to start working late for the next couple of months. I'm, uh, monitoring after-school detention."

"What?"

"I had to make a deal with Figgins so he wouldn't kill Glee Club."

"But Will, I'm on my feet four hours a day three times a week here. Now I have to go home, and I have to cook dinner for myself?"

"She makes it sound like it's that difficult," said Blaine.

Howard comes back.

"This lady wants to return these sheets, but… something tells me we've got another bed wetter," he said.

"Do you see what I have to deal with here?"

They once again bit their tongues.

Terri grabs the soiled sheets and she and Howard leave to help the customer.

"God, hasn't she ever heard of a diaper?" They hear as she leaves.

Will sees Sandy in the next aisle. He is speaking to a Sheets N' Things Employee.

"Of course, towels have a thread count, Mister… Sheets N' Things. What do you do? I read catalogues. I know these things. Anything under a 400 thread count, and I could break out in impetigo. It's simple to understand."

"This guy kind of scares me," said Wes. The others agree with that.

Employee walks away and Will tries to sneak past Sandy.

"William?"

"Sandy? Hey."

"Well, hello. How are things? I hear you have taken over Glee Club."

"Yeah. I… hope you're not too upset."

"Are you kidding? Getting out of that swirling eddy of despair: best thing that ever happened to me. Don't get me wrong. It wasn't easy at first. Being dismissed, and for what I was accused of. My long-distance girlfriend in Cleveland nearly broke up with me. Oh God, don't you love a good monkey? Took me weeks to get over my nervous breakdown."

"Did they put you on medication?"

"Better: medical marijuana. It's genius. I just tell my Dr. Feelgood I'm having trouble sleeping, and he gives me all of it I want. I'm finding the whole system quite lucrative."

"You're a drug dealer?"

"Oh, yeah… make five times more than when I was a teacher."

"OH MY GOD! What is wrong with this school and town?" Wes asked. Nobody has an answer for him but they would like to know as well.

"I keep some for myself, and then I take money baths in the rest."

"Who-who do you sell it to?"

Flashback to a parking lot. Sandy gives Ken a packet of marijuana in exchange for money. End of Flashback.

Sandy holds up a packet of marijuana labeled The Chronic Lady.

"You want in?"

"Uh, no… I mean, I tried it once in college, but Terri and I are trying to get pregnant, so…"

Sandy puts the packet into Will's pocket.

"Didn't he just say he didn't want any?" Asked Jeff. "Guy doesn't take no for and answer it seems," answered Wes.

"Do my own packaging, and the first sample is free."

"Sandy, no."

"Come on, you are the one who are coaching those tone-deaf acne factories. You're going to need it."

The Employee returns with a toilet cover.

"This looks like barf. Okay? I have to do everything myself. (to Will) Call me. (to Employee) Come on. What's the matter with you? This is terrible.

Sue is dusting her cheerleading trophies when Will knocks on her door and looks in.

Hey, Sue. Can I have a sec?

Sure, buddy. Come on in.

CUT TO: SIDEWALK

Emma steps in a large wad of chewing gum. She freaks out and sits down on a nearby bench. Will approaches.

Hey, Emma, you got a second? What is that, gum?

CUT TO: SUE'S OFFICE

So, you want to talk to my Cheerios about joining Glee Club?

Well, I need more kids - performers - and all the best ones are in the Cheerios, so I figured some of them might want to double up. "That's not a bad idea," said one of the Warblers.

Okay, so what you're doing right now is called blurring the lines. High school is a caste system. Kids fall into certain slots. Your jocks and your popular kids up in the penthouse. The invisibles and the kids playing live-action out in the forest: bottom floor.

And… where do the Glee kids lie?

Sub-basement. "Harsh," said David.

Locker Room

I'm here today to talk to you about something different: music. Glee Club needs guys.

Puck raises his arm "I can sing."

Really? That's fantastic. "Why don't I think he is serious?" Asked Wes. "Because he isn't," said Nick.

You wanna hear?

Yeah.

Puck walks to the front of the locker room amid applause from the other football players. He lets out a loud fart. "Charming," said Flint.

Ohhh yeah.

I'm going to put the sign-up sheet at the door to the so if anyone wants to sign up, please… Thank you.

Dismissed. Puck, in my office in five minutes.

You been sleeping okay? Your eyes look a little bloodshot.

I got allergies.

Okay. Thanks a lot.

BOYS LOCKER ROOM

The New Directions sign-up sheet has three names: Gaylord Weiner, Butt Lunch, and Penis. Will stares at the sheet, dismayed.

(Will voice over) I honestly thought that was the end of the very brief fever dream that was "New Directions".

Will hears someone singing REO Speedwagon's "Can't Fight This Feeling". He finds Finn in the showers, singing to himself.

(Will voice over) I suddenly realized why I had wanted to do this thing in the first place. It was seeing the gift in a kid that they didn't even know they had. It was pure talent. What I did then… was the blackest moment of my life.

WILL'S OFFICE

He shows Finn the packet of marijuana that Sandy gave him. "He didn't," said Wes. "Oh, but he did," said David.

You want to tell me how long you've had a drug problem?

I don't even know who the Chronic Lady is.

Look, if it were up to me, we wouldn't have mandatory bi-weekly afternoon locker checks.

But I've never seen that before, Mr. Schue, I swear. It's not mine. I'll pee in a cup. I'll pee.

Look, it… it wouldn't make any difference. Possession is eight-tenths of the law. I'm pretty sure that much pot is a felony. Yeah. Look, you'll get kicked out of school. You'll lose your football scholarship.

Wait… I had a football scholarship? To… to where? "Focus would you," said Blaine.

You could land in prison, son.

Oh my God. Please, don't tell my mom.

Look, I see a lot of myself in you, Finn. I know what it's like to struggle to make good life choices, and I don't want to see you throw away everything you have to offer the world. I just expected more out of you, Finn.

(Finn voice over) That really got to me when Mr. Schuester said that, because every day of my life, I expect more out of myself. See, I might look confident and everything, but I really struggle with the same thing others kids do: peer pressure, bacne.

End of Part 1

Hi I ended it there but they all will be in two parts that way I can get them uploaded faster. I will get the second part up as fast as I can but it may still be a little slow. Bye for now.
