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, Daryl 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 'Theatricality'.
Only two more chapters after this one so things are stepping up a pace. To reply to an anonymous reviewer there will be more Puck/Quinn in this chapter and also thanks for reviewing!
The New Girl in Town
Chapter Seven: Gaga and Kiss and Dentists Oh My!
(Emily's eyes fluttered as she slowly opened them. She saw herself in a white room filled with beds as she sleepily looked around.)
"Am I home," she whispered to herself "If I am then my mission hasn't been successful" she cringed to herself. Suddenly she noticed that Daryl was sitting by her side and Emily mentality groaned to herself.
"Oh your awake" Daryl grinned. "Sophia was really worried but she and Mr. Schue have just gone for some coffee we didn't know how long you would be..." Daryl was interrupted by Emily sitting up and looking at him with big eyes.
"Mr. Schue is here?" She glanced at her nightdress and cringed.
"Oh don't worry Sophia sorted that all out" Daryl replied. Emily shot him a look and was relieved when Sophia arrived back two cups of coffee in her hands.
"Your awake" she smiled with relief as she handed one of the cups to Daryl. "Mr. Schue has just gone to find a nurse to update him on your condition but he told me to come back here" she grinned. "Speaking of Mr. Schue I found something out before we went to the auditorium to practise `Dream a Little Dream`." She moved closer to Emily and whispered "He and Miss. P are so dating I caught them making out in her office. Kinda hot don't you think" she smirked.
"Soph I knew about that weeks ago" Emily replied but then mentally slapped herself. Had she given too much away and blown the secret.
"You did?" Sophia looked puzzled. Daryl looked puzzled too but for different reasons.
"Yeah I erm you can just tell" Emily smiled. "With the way they look at one another and everything. Kinda cute don't you think?" She smiled as she didn't notice Will sneaking up behind Sophia's chair.
"Who's cute?" Will grinned as he took the cup of coffee from Daryl. Emily and Sophia shot looks at one another.
"Rachel and Jessie" Sophia blurted out. "Yeah I was just saying they make a cute couple."
"Well according to Brittany he looks like my son so I'm hoping if I start dating I meet somebody..." Will trailed off as he knew what he was going to say could be taken the wrong way. "Anyway good news Emily, the nurse said you should be out by tonight it looks like the headache was caused by tiredness and maybe not eating properly" he looked at Emily concerned.
"Yeah so that means no more stopping up talking to me on MSN" Sophia stuck her tongue out at Emily who glared at the blonde headed girl. Daryl just sat there his eyes darting between the two girls as Will sat in contented silence.
"AHHHHHH!" Sophia yelled as she and Emily made their way down the corridor of McKinley High. It had been a week since Emily had collapsed but she was feeling a whole lot better.
"What is it Soph?" Emily glanced at her friend as they stopped by her locker. Sophia opened the locker, got out a book then slammed the locker in frustration.
"Its Daryl" Sophia groaned. "We were at my house the other night just making out and he says..." she trailed off as a flashback came to mind.
"These skirts really get in the way" Daryl groaned as he laid a kiss on Sophias shoulder "Maybe you should ditch the Cheerio outfits for something a little bit more loose" he smirked as he planted another kiss. Sophia sat up and looked at Daryl concerned.
"You mean quit the Cheerios?" Sophia crossed her arms in annoyance.
"Not really," Daryl paused "But maybe while Miss. Sylvester is absent maybe try a few different outfits. Something a little less daring. You never know you might like it" he shrugged. Sophia stored the thought to the back of her mind as they continued making out.
Emily shugged "Its up to you Soph" she replied as they walked to Spanish class "But don't just change because a boy wants you to."
"I won't" Sophia nodded as they entered the classroom as Mr. Schue gave a grateful glance to the back of the room.
(The Glee Clubbers were all discussing what could be Tina's new look as she had got into trouble with Figgins for dressing too goth and were firing suggestions around.)
"Chicken Happy meal" Brittany suggested to the look of Sophia and Daryl who were sat next to one another.
"I swear I have no idea where she gets these ideas from" Daryl muttered. Sophia smiled and snuggled up next to him.
"Don't know where Emily has got to I hope she hasn't fainted again" Sophia looked worried. Daryl gripped her hand but then smiled as Emily entered the room closely followed by Rachel who looked stressed.
"Guys we have a major problem!" Rachel announced. "You know that I have been doing some background work on Vocal Adrenaline."
"isn't that against the rules?" Artie replied.
"Probably, but I went searching through the dumpster bins outside Carmel and I found 18 empty boxes of Christmas lights!" Rachel exclaimed.
"What has that got to do with anything?" Emily whispered as Rachel went on about going to a shop and finding out they had sold out of red lace.
"They doing Gaga" Kurt announced. Rachel crossed her arms.
"I knew it" Mercedes muttered.
"They gonna perform theatricality on us" Kurt replied.
"Wait what is up with this Gaga dude he just dresses weird or something" Puck replied. Kurt then went in a big rant about how Lady Gaga was only the best performer in our generation while Emily and Sophia sat in stony silence listening to Kurt rant.
"Hold on a second," Will interrupted "We might be able to kill two birds with one stone here. We can help Tina find a new look and also find a performance for Regionals. This week your assignment is `Gaga`. Will smirked. All the girls started chattering as all the guys apart from Kurt sat in stony silence.
"I can find a new look as well" Sophia whispered to Emily who just nodded and smiled.
(Emily and Finn walked down the corridor together.)
"I'm sure Mr. Schue will listen to you" Emily smiled as she knocked sharply on the door and Will called to come in. He looked surprised to see Finn and Emily standing there.
"Oh hey Finn, Emily I was just reading up on Lady Gaga" Will said. "She has so many ideas that I think we could use in the Glee Club."
"That's the point," Finn replied "I don't want to do Lady Gaga. We always seem to do what the girls want to do and with the exception of Kurt I don't think the guys want to do Lady Gaga."
"Your right," Will nodded "Ok so lets come up with a solution!"
"I already have one" Finn grinned.
"I'm just gonna go" Emily beckoned to the door as she sloped out of the office to see Quinn and Puck arguing at the side about something.
"...So you can go and be a rock star all by yourself" Quinn finished walking off. Emily walked up to Puck looking concerned.
"You ok Puck?" she murmured. Puck just shot the redhead a look as he walked away leaving Emily on her own.
(Sophia walked down the corridor dressed in her Gaga costume. She had decided to go for the waitress look like Lady Gaga wore in the `Telephone` video. Emily joined her friend as she was dressed in a low red dress that supported her passion and determination. They entered the choir room to find that the other girls minus Rachel had also got dressed up in their costumes.)
"Sophia, Emily nice work" Will said. "Girls , Kurt excellent work as well" he smiled.
"Where's Rachel?" Daryl spoke out.
"Yeah I only realised because five minutes have gone by without her saying something obnoxious" Puck quipped.
"She got some news yesterday we were spying on Vocal Adrenaline" Mercedes and Quinn said together.
"Guys I told you not to do that," Will replied "But what did you find out?"
"Anyway we found out that her mom is the coach of Vocal Adrenaline" Mercedes replied. Emily's face dropped and Sophia looked shocked. Rachel then entered the room dressed in her Gaga costume that looked as if it had been made by a three year old.
"My dad's will have to pay for serious therapy but the main thing is that I'm not going anywhere" Rachel announced. As she carried on talking Emily went deep in thought.
"Maybe I should tell Miss. P who I really am I mean Rachel has found her real mother maybe I should tell mine" she thought. Emily was then brought out of her trance by Sophia tugging on her dress.
"Come on its time to perform 'Bad Romance'" she grinned as the music started to play and the eight girls and Kurt started to get up off the seats and start to perform the song.
"That was awesome guys" Will grinned as the eight girls stood on the stage. Daryl nodded as he looked at Sophia and grinned.
"I think somebody has a fan" Quinn nudged Sophia as she gave her a wink. Emily then walked off the stage towards the exit of the auditorium.
"Just wait there a minute" Will muttered as he followed Emily to the exit as she stood there breathing heavily.
"You ok?" he said gently. Emily nodded.
"Just got a little hot up there," she mumbled "But im fine now."
"You sure?" Will replied. Emily nodded and Will shrugged walking back towards the exit. Emily gripped the fabric of her dress and glanced towards the direction towards Emma's office which was currently empty.
"Crap I forgot the appointment was today" Emily thought sadly as she wandered back into the auditorium "I just hope Miss. P heeded my advice."
(Emma sat in the dentist's chair as the dentist, who she had known for a while so she was on first name terms with ,looked at her teeth.)
"You have good oral hygiene" he smiled at Emma who just blushed. "No everything looks in pretty good shape why don't we make another appointment in three months. I have some sterilising equipment that you might like to look at" he flashed a toothy grin at her showing perfect white teeth.
"Just be careful" Emily's warning flashed through her mind but Emma just shrugged that off.
"Ok I'm pretty sure they are clean" she smiled getting up off the chair moving towards the machine. Carl moved closer to her as he showed her as the machine worked.
"So that lever goes there and that connects the machine towards the sterilising substances that cleans everything" Carl explained to Emma who nodded. She then moved away but then in her haste tripped over.
"Are you ok?" Carl murmured. Emma nodded and got up gingerly "Let me help you" Carl smiled grabbing her. As he gripped her wrist Carl leant forward for a kiss until Emma jumped up sharply and glared.
"What are you doing!" she exclaimed angrily.
"I just thought that you seemed interested in the machine and we have been getting along well that maybe..." Carl trailed off.
"That you would make a move on me!" Emma exclaimed "For one thing I have a loving boyfriend that I would never cheat on. Emily was right!" she glared at Carl as she grabbed her bag and left the dentist office leaving Carl on his own.
(Sophia strode down the corridor dressed in her third outfit this time a short black dress that came up to her knee. The footballers stared at her which didn't go down to well with Daryl who grabbed her hand.)
"What are you playing at?" he hissed. Sophia tossed her blonde hair and smirked at Daryl.
"I thought you said you wanted something a bit shorter," she smirked "Isn`t that what you said?"
"Y-yes but not that short you look like a first class hooker" Daryl whispered. "Come with me" grabbing hold of her hand he dragged her into the choir room to the hoots and whistles of the football players. Daryl then sat down on one of the chairs and glanced at Sophia.
"When I said get rid of the Cheerio uniform I didn't mean literally. Now your dressing all slutty something which I thought you wouldn't do. Your not that type of girl Soph" Daryl ran his fingers through his spiky blonde hair. "Go back to the Cheerios it's where you belong and I promise I wont ever complain again" he pleaded to her.
"Is that a promise?" Sophia teased giving him a kiss. "I only was going to drop the uniform till Miss. Sylvester came back then go back to the Cheerios I just wanted to see how you reacted." Seeing the look on Dary'ls face Sophia just smirked walking out of the choir room to change back into her Lady Gaga costume.
(The Glee Clubbers all sat around waiting for the guys to start singing "Beth". However Emily zoned out as Puck started singing and engaged herself in a flashback where she saw herself walking across a field mumbling something to herself and getting slightly angry. Suddenly she jumped as an hand was placed on her shoulder but it was only Beth Cohcoran, Shelby's adopted daughter and her best friend.)
"Hey" Beth smiled nervously playing with her blonde hair. "I wasn't expecting to see you here thought you would be at the Glee Club."
Emily shook her head "Me and dad had another falling out so I bolted" she replied. Beth looked sympathetic .
"That's the good thing about not having a male figure in the house" Beth joked but after seeing the look on Emilys face changed her mind. "Only joking," she mumbled "So where are you going?". Emily shrugged.
"Might just see how this path takes me" the redheaded girl shrugged. Beth nodded.
"Ok but be careful these paths are dangerous" she warned Emily. Emily nodded and the two girls parted ways. Beth then got out her cellphone and dialled a number.
"Mr. Schuester?" she paused "It's Beth, I've found Emily shes up at the two top fields and think shes heading towards the cliffs."
"Thanks Beth" Will thanked the girl and turned towards Emma and Josh who were stood outside the school.
"We better set off quick I think shes heading towards the cliffs." Will's face turned pale as he jumped into his car, Emma and Josh following him.
"I hope she doesn't do anything stupid." Emma bit her lip as the car took off, Will trying to be as fast as he could without breaking the speed limit.
(Emily broke out of her trance to see Puck standing in front of Quinn, Quinn almost in tears.)
"So I want to name her Beth, that is if you let me" Puck gulped. Quinn smiled and nodded as Emily gave a small smile also.
(Emily strode towards Emma's office, not even pausing to glance through the Spanish window where Sophia was taking a test. Maybe this was what she needed to get home. Emily knocked once on the door.)
"Come in" Emma called out and was surprised to see Emily. "Oh hey Emily" she paused thinking she was here to ask about the dentist appointment. Emily shut the door and sat down in the chair.
"I have something to tell you" she paused and Emma motioned for her to carry on. "Well to be honest I haven't been telling the truth about who I really am." Emily paused again and Emma glanced with big brown eyes "The truth is I'm..." Emily was stopped by a knock on the door.
"Come in" Emma called out and Emily saw Will enter the office with a file in his hands.
"Just needed to sort something out with Rachel and..." he stopped when he saw Emily "Oh hey Em" he grinned. Emily's eyes filled with tears she couldn't tell her secret not with Will in the same room as well it would ruin everything.
"Excuse me" she murmured getting up off the chair and walking towards the door pushing past Will. Will then closed the door behind him.
"What was that all about?" Will said shocked. Emma shrugged.
"She was going to tell me something before you came in I hope she isn't in any trouble" Emma said worriedly. Will shook his head.
"I'm sure she would have come to me if she was in trouble" he smiled. "How was the dentist appointment?" he glanced at Emma who shrugged.
"Oh you know, good" she replied but didn't want to go into anymore detail. Meanwhile outside the office Emily lapsed into another memory but for some reason this one didn't have any sound but just pictures of Finn, Quinn and Puck round Miss. P's hospital bed, Quinn clutching Puck's hand and Finn looking worried. Suddenly the memory broke up as Sophia ran to her friend.
"Quick you have to come Finn's doing something epic" she exclaimed. Emily ran with her friend where she spotted the eleven Glee Club members standing behind Finn who looked like he had dressed up in a shower costume glaring at two football players who Emily didn't recognise but she was sure Daryl did with the way he was looking at them.
"Next time we will bring some of our friends as well" the black one growled before walking away.
"I'm sick of being called freaks" Rachel rolled her eyes.
"Well we are freaks" Sophia giggled smoothing down her dress. "You ok Em?" she glanced at the red headed girl who nodded.
"I think things are going to be just fine" she smiled as a memory came back to her which showed Emma sitting up in bed and Will embracing her while Finn, Puck and Quinn smiled at one another. Sophia, Daryl and Emily linked arms with one another as they headed down the corridor.
So is Emily right is she fine or are things just around the corner? Review with your thoughts!
