I do not own Glee or anything to do with it. This belongs to Ryan Murphy and Fox. However I do own Emily, Sophia, Josh and the songs used, as well as them belonging to their own respective companies. I also do not own any of the words used in the episode 'Laryngitis'.

Onwards and upwards we go I guess. As always ill like to thank everyone that has read or reviewed it means a lot. Hopefully this chapter will be ok as ive tried my best with it

The New Girl in Town

Chapter Five: Illness and Changed Personalities

(Emily opened the door to Mr. Schue's office as she noticed the Spanish teacher looking at something. She walked up to his desk confused.)

"Oh hey Em," Will replied absentmindedly "Rachel just sent me these names saying they were members of the Glee Club that aren't pulling their weight."

"I hope I'm not on that list!" Emily exclaimed looking shocked her eyes growing big and Will shook his head laughing.

"Nah Rachel said that you always sing your notes. Personally I think she's over reacting I still don't understand how she managed to bug the choir room though" Will mused. Emily smiled then started another coughing fit.

"You sure you're ok because that didn't sound too healthy" Will said concerned. Emily just nodded and smiled.

"Just a *cough* tickle I have in the back of my *cough* throat" Emily said weakly throwing down some water. Will looked sceptical but shrugged as Emily made her way out of the office. Suddenly she ducked as she noticed Mercedes and Puck talking to one another at the lockers.

"Surely Mercedes has more class than to go out with Puck" Emily thought confused but then looked at her watch and realised that she was late for Cheerio practise. She made a mental note to deal with Mercedes later then ran down the corridor her Cheerio skirt billowing out behind her as she ran.

"So this week I want your assignment to be what you are feeling at this moment 'aka' your voice" Will explained to the group as murmurs spread the room.

"You mean all solos in front of the class?" Kurt squeaked out.

"This group has lost its voice," Will replied "I want you all to stand in front of the room, say why you have picked the song and then sing your heart out." Sophia sitting next to Emily nodded.

"I agree," the blonde Cheerio added "We need to get back to what we were good at." The group then left the room apart from Emily and Sophia who were waiting for Emily to pick up her bag, her coughing had started again and it was slowing her down.

"Are you sure you're ok Em?" Sophia glanced at her friend, smoothing her Cheerio skirt down. Emily glared at Sophia and Sophia knew she should back off.

"What is it with some people first Mr. Schue now you why can't people leave me alone!" Emily yelled. Will who was sorting some sheet music out heard the yell and walked over to the two girls.

"Hey it's not like you two to fight. Are you sure you're ok Em?" he said concerned placing a hand on her shoulder as Emily jumped feeling like this had happened before. Will then took his hand off and looked guilty.

"It's not that," Emily replied "Just a distant memory" She continued softly before trudging away. Sophia glanced at Will.

"Sophia would you keep an eye on her I don't think everything is as it seems I would ask Em... I mean Miss. Pillsbury but she's on a course this week" Will explained. Sophia nodded.

"Sure thing Mr. Schue" she replied as she also walked out of the room leaving Will alone to tidy up the choir room from Glee practise.

(A few days had passed since the last Glee practise and Rachel was about to sing her chosen song. Emily was still coughing and Sophia was still concerned about her but Emily had told her friend that she was fine and that there was no need for her to worry.)

"I have chosen to sing Miley Cyrus "The Climb" as its about overcoming the odds so that means all of you" Rachel smirked. Sophia rolled her eyes as Rachel started to sing but something about her voice wasn't quite there. Mr. Schue then stopped her half way through the song.

"Rachel I think you've lost your voice" he says gently. Rachel's face grew white and she shakes her head. "Go and see a doctor" he said firmly then ushers Rachel back to her seat."Emily" he glances at the red headed girl who nods. She walked to the front of the room where Sophia gives her a grin and Finn the thumbs up. However as she starts to sing the room turns black and she can see different things swirling in front of her eyes, Mr. Schue carrying Miss. P out of the school and Rachel, Finn, Quinn and Puck surrounding a smaller Emily. Emily then held her head in pain.

"Em-Emily!" a voice was heard as she collapsed to the ground.

(Emily looked up at the ceiling as she opened her eyes.)

"Am I home?" she thought then cringed again as her head hurt. Suddenly she spotted the school nurse followed by Mr. Schue coming into the room and Emily's eyes filled with tears.

"Emily glad you're awake" the nurse smiled. "It looks as if you have a bad case of the flu as you have a fever, dizziness and a bad coughing fit. How long has this been going on?"

"A while," Emily mumbled "I just thought it was a bad cough that's all then I fainted during Glee practise."

"How long is she going to be out for I have another student who has lost her voice so I can't really have two out" Will asked. Emily shot him a look from her bed.

"Well due to the symptoms I would say a week's bed rest at home and she should be good as new" the nurse smiled. "Have you got any one to take you home Emily?" Emily shook her head.

"I have an aunt but she's in hospital at the moment so no," Emily replied "However, I'm used to taking care of myself."

"I'll be happy to take her home if Emily promises she will look after herself" Will offered. The nurse pursed up her lips but then nodded. Will then picked up Emily's bag and let the red headed girl make her way to the door as slowly as she could.

"How is she Mr. Schue?" Sophia glanced at Will as he closed the door while Emily got the prescription she needed off the nurse.

"Should be up to a week bed rest but luckily she should have no lasting damage to her voice. Its Rachel I'm worried about with that" Will sighed. "Look Sophia I want you to pop in and keep an eye on Em. There's something very strange going on and I don't want her to do anything stupid." The blonde headed girl nodded.

"She lives on the way home from my house so I'll pop in every day and I'll even bring the homework assignments from Spanish for her" Sophia grinned at Will who nodded.

"That would be great" Will said gratefully as Emily made her way out of the office still holding her head. "Ready to go?" Will asked as Emily nodded following her teacher out of the room.

(Emily tossed and turned as she was having a bad dream, her fever didn't help. Her thoughts then lapsed into another memory as she was sitting in the bleachers at McKinley as Mrs. Schuester walked up to her.)

"You ok Emily?" she smiled. Emily just shrugged.

"Look I know your father means well but he`s just concerned about you. I remember when I was your age not being the most popular kid in school it's hard" she sighed. Emily then turned to her.

"Mum I don't care!" she exclaimed "Just because dad did the dirty on you with Shelby, which is kinda weird because me and Beth are good friends now and every time I go to her house I want to hate her mother because of how she affected you, doesn't give him the right to be over protective of me!" Tears streamed down Emily's face as Emma put one arm around her daughter.

"Do you want me to speak to him?" she offered and Emily shook her head.

"Maybe I should go home after all I did just walk out without telling him I was coming here" she smiled. Emma looked as Emily strode across the football pitch then heard a familiar ring tone of 'I Could Have Danced all Night'.

"Will, it's ok I found her" she smiled. "Look I know what you meant but she`s coming home now and everything will be fine. She then noticed Josh running towards her and said quickly "I have to go now."

"Mrs. S where`s Emily?" Josh asked confused.

"She`s on her way home" Emma smiled as Josh just nodded.

(Emily then sat up in bed as the dizziness hit her.)

"That was a weird dream" she said confused but then put it down to the pills and the fever as she sank back under the sheets and went back to sleep.

(Finn had just finished singing `Jessie's Girl` and had returned to his seat when Puck entered the room with the brass band.)

"What is he up to?" Sophia muttered to Quinn who just shrugged.

"Just as long as he doesn't start talking about Super Mario and I'll be happy" she laughed. Puck then finished his long speech and then started 'The Lady is a Tramp'. Sophia raised an eyebrow as Puck smiled at her while behind her Santana looked annoyed. Meanwhile halfway through the song he pulled Mercedes up and started singing to her. As the song finished Mercedes looked flustered but happy. As the group finished Sophia looked deep in thought but then was brought back to life by a slap by Santana.

"Just stay away from my man Sophie you got that" she glared at the blonde headed girl before walking out of the room with Brittany. Quinn looked at the girl confused.

"You ok Sophia?" she said gently. Sophia nodded.

"I don't think it's me she has to worry about it's Mercedes" she replied rubbing her face. "Ow" she exclaimed as she fingered a bruise.

"Yeah I'll tell her that" Quinn replied. "Make sure she stays away from Santana I mean I might be ok with it but not Santana" she shook her head.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Sophia looked confused as she stood by Quinn's locker.

"Just because I'm carrying Pucks baby doesn't mean that I'm gonna date him" Quinn sighed. "And I mean I know that you were interested in him at one point and that was the reason I was mean to you last year but I've grown up now."

"None taken" Sophia replied as she saw Mercedes coming down the corridor. "Listen I have to get to class now but I'll talk to you later" She smiled as she walked the opposite way to Mercedes. Suddenly Sophia yelped as she bumped into a blonde headed boy who was wearing the same jacket that the football players wore.

"Sorry" Sophia blushed as she looked in his eyes. They were the most brilliant blue Sophia had seen.

"Nah it was my fault" the boy smiled as he tipped his cap and walked the other direction. Sophia sighed as she clutched her books to her chest then started to walk the direction to Spanish.

"I'll have to find his name off Finn if he's in the football team" Sophia thought privately.

(Finn walked down the corridor as he nearly bumped into Rachel who was eating a bowl of chicken soup.)

"It's not fair Finn!" Rachel complained "I take all my antibiotics and I rest my voice and it's still sore. What happens if I can't sing?"

"Well at least you're not stuck in bed like Emily" Finn replied. He had learnt off Sophia that Emily was still in bed although she was starting to get to that irritating stage where she was bored.

"I'm like Tinkerbell Finn I need applause to live!" Rachel moaned.

"Let me take you to see somebody, somebody I know" Finn replied.

"What another doctor who says I'll lose my voice" Rachel said sarcastically. Finn shook his head.

"No a friend of mine" he replied. Rachel just gave him a weird look as the duo carried on down the corridor.

'The Boy is Mine' Santana and Mercedes sang together before they were both roughly sprung apart from one another by Sophia and Mr. Schue.

"This is pathetic," Sophia rolled her eyes "Fighting over him?" she pointed to Puck who looked shocked.

"Hey I'm a stud" Puck grinned

"Don't listen to Sophie over there she just wants him for herself" Santana replied.

"One my name is Sophia not Sophie get it right and two I admit I did like Puck at one point in my life but I've met somebody else now so whoever he does choose is welcome to him" Sophia smirked at Santana but looked almost guiltily at Mercedes. Sophia then walked out of the choir room with Santana chasing after her and Mercedes on her own with Mr. Schue.

"You ok?" Mr. Schue asked. Mercedes nodded and went back to sit next to Quinn.

"Now then I have some good news. Emily will be back tomorrow after she found out she feels a lot better and that her voice is back to normal" Mr. Schue smiled. "And Rachel your voice is almost better now as well."

"Almost," Rachel nodded "Just a few more days of silence and some herbal remedy medicine and it should be fine."

"And a reality check" Finn muttered under his breath but Rachel pretended not to hear that.

(Emily was stood in her bedroom just fixing her hair in her ponytail as the doorbell rang. Emily then ran down the stairs as Sophia was stood there.)

"Ready to go" Sophia grinned as Emily nodded. "Wait till I tell you what has been happening while you have been absent. First of all Finn sang 'Jessie's Girl' for his solo which really freaked Rachel out it was hilarious then Puck sang a solo and Mercedes sang with him as well, then they started dating and Mercedes and Santana had a cat fight then involved me so I gave Santana a piece of my mind, Kurt has been acting really freaky dressing in like builder type clothes and dating Brittany and then there was that really cute guy..." Sophia trailed off as she glanced at Emily.

"You know you haven't listened to a word I said have you?" she said crossly as the two girls entered the car park of McKinley High.

"Sorry," Emily blushed "I just had other things on my mind that's all."

"You mean the flashbacks?" Sophia asked as Emily nodded.

"There seem to be more and more of them" Emily complained as they entered the school. "And I can't seem to have head or tail of what is happening. Is Miss. Pilsbury back?" Emily glanced at Sophia who nodded. "I'll have to leave you Sophia" Emily apologised as she ran down the corridor and peeked to see if the guidance counsellor was in. Emily rapped once on the window then entered the office.

"Oh Emily," Emma smiled "Glad to see your feeling better W- Mr. Schuester told me last week you weren't feeling too well"

"I have to tell you something" Emily replied before the phone rang. Emma nodded to Emily to just stay there and picked the phone up.

"Hello," she said politely "Oh that's great you have a cancellation. I'll look forward to seeing you then. Bye." Emma put the phone down and turned to face Emily.

"Dentist appointment" she smiled. Emily's face then turned white.

"D-Dentist appointment" the red head croaked. Emma nodded.

"Yeah nothing to be scared about just a check up" she laughed. "Now what was it you wanted to tell me?"

"N-Nothing just to say that I'm feeling much better and that I'll probably be popping in sometime this week" Emily smiled before feeling sick and running out of the office.

"I cannot let Miss. Pilsbury go to that dentist appointment" Emily thought. "If I do then all the other events will go out of synch."

(The other members of New Directions had just finished singing U2's 'One' but obviously Emily couldn't join in because of her absence. Emily walked out of the auditorium and was surprised to bump into Rachel.)

"Look I just came to say I'm glad your back" Rachel said."I suppose we need two female leads as well as two male leads. With us both out we wouldn't have had a chance at Regionals."

"T-thanks I guess," Emily stuttered "I'm glad your voice is back as well" she gave a small smile to Rachel who gave one back. "Look I better go I need to catch up on the Spanish that I missed" Rachel nodded and the two female leads passed each other by. Emily walked down the corridor and was surprised to see a blonde male entering Figgins office.

"It's a bit late for people to be still around I bet he's one of the board" Emily thought before shrugging. Tapping on Will's classroom door and after hearing a "Come in" from Will she entered the room.

Pretty hard chapter this one because there wasn't that much for me to work with so I hope you liked it. Not much on the Wemma front as well because again Emma wasn't in this episode so I thought she would be on a course. But we find out the parentage of Emily and you were right it is Will and Emma but why is she in this world and not in the future? Only time will tell. And again thanks for reviewing it does mean a lot!

Chapter Six: Dream on a Cloud

When Bryan Ryan appears to cut the clubs funding Emily tries to persuade him to change his mind. Also Sophia finds out the identity of her new crush and persuades him to join New Directions and Artie and Tina's dreams hit a rough patch.
