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`Funk'.
Thanks for the reviews guys it really means a lot. This chapter will be the last one for a few weeks but I'll explain at the end why. Again thanks for reviewing it makes me want to update faster!
The New Girl in Town
Chapter 8: Funkytown!
(Emily sat at one of the library tables flicking through an old yearbook and glancing at the pages. She smiled as she saw the page with Mr. Schuester and Miss. Pillsbury on it but then frowned to herself. She needed to stick to the task in hand which was trying to get back home but she didn't know what was the end product, New Directions winning Regionals, the Cheerios winning Nationals or keeping Mr Schue. and Miss. Pilsbury together.)
"This sucks!" Emily announced as she shut the yearbook and placed it down on the table. Suddenly she was surprised to see Sophia running towards her.
"You have to come and see this!" she said slightly panting. Emily shrugged but she got up and followed her friend out of the library towards the auditorium where she was shocked to see Jessie standing on the stage with the rest of Vocal Adrenaline.
"Wait I thought he was with us now?" Emily raised an eyebrow. The dark skinned girl on Jessie's arms gave Emily a dirty look.
"I'm afraid to tell you that I decided to return back to Vocal Adrenaline" Jessie smirked at Rachel and Emily. "You never listened to me and you never let me express my creative ability. I heard the blogs are busy saying how Vocal Adrenaline are finished and that you are ripe to topple us but maybe this performance will say that they are wrong." Jessie then started to launch into a version of Queen's "Another one bites the dust" while the Glee Clubbers sat in stony silence.
"Go and get Mr. Schue" Sophia hissed to Emily. Emily nodded and exited the room walking towards Mr. Schues office. She knocked once then opened the door.
"Mr. Schue you have to come. Its Jessie he's kinda turned against us" Emily crossed her arms and looked angry. Will looked confused and nodded. However when he returned to the auditorium neither New Directions nor Vocal Adrenaline were there.
"I bet they went back to the choir room" Emily offered. Will shrugged but followed Emily as they walked to the choir room. However when they got there they found the choir room full of toilet paper.
"They taped our room" Finn flatly said.
"What?" Will asked as Emily strode over the tissue paper and walked towards Sophia and Daryl who had a bunch in each hand. "Look if they are doing this then maybe we have got them spooked" he replied. Mercedes shook her head and laughed.
"I don't think so Mr. Schue" she replied.
"How did they even get keys anyway" Emily wondered out loud not noticing Miss .Sylvester enter the choir room.
"Oh I gave them keys over the weekend" Sue replied walking into the choir room. "I'm getting ready to turn this room into my very own trophy cabinet when you lose Regionals and this Glee Club is shut down for good. Now how do I know that? Well I had a word with my bookmaker and he said that you are 40-1 underdogs. You are going to lose and your dreams will be crushed" Sue smirked. Will walked forward with a look on his face Emily hadn't seen before.
"Sue can I see your trophy?" he questioned the Cheerios coach.
"Sure William hope and..." Sues words were stopped by a crash as Will threw the trophy on the floor. A look of disbelief went round the room as Emily just had a look of horror in her eyes.
"You dropped your trophy Sue" Will replied.
"You know for me trophies are like herpies you try to get rid of them but they keep coming back" Sue replied walking towards Will. "And you know why because I have a bunch of talent that will help me win Nationals. Enjoy your last few days here" she added as Sue strode out of the room. Will glanced at the Glee Clubbers who just looked worried but Emily had a look of anger in her eyes.
"I've never seen Mr. Schue behave like that" Sophia whispered to Emily.
"No neither have I" Emily murmured.
"And then she just kept on saying that Glee Club would be finished!" Will exclaimed sinking down into Emmas' chair. "Why do I let her get to me?"
"She's Sue just let her say what she wants and then win at Regionals" Emma smiled. "I mean look at what she did at Sectionals and you won."
"But that was Sectionals this is Regionals not to mention it's Vocal Adrenaline we are going against. And now that Jessie has defected back to them were one member down" Will was interrupted by Emma.
"Wait Jessie's gone back to Carmel?" Emmas voice was high "I thought..."
"Yeah same here but looks like he was spying for the other team" Will sighed. "But I do have some good news. Yesterday my divorce came through so now I can take you out on a date. A proper date this time" he smiled.
"I- I have something to tell you too and erm its not good news. You know when I went to the dentist He erm he made a pass at me but I didn't kiss back I told him straight. I wanted you to know so we have no secrets" Emma looked at Will who's face was stern but showed no expression.
"I have to go the Glee Clubbers will be waiting for me" he replied walking out of Emma's office who sat alone.
"Ok today I want to talk about regrets who has some?" Will addressed the group.
"Having Jessie take my heart and have it stomped on" Rachel answered.
"Thinking trust me was a sensible birth control option" Quinn replied.
"We all have them. I just finalised my divorce! Will replied. Emily lifted her head up and mouthed "What?" She then dozed off into another day dream.
Rachel sat on the floor of the cave watching Emily sleep. She smiled as she placed her hand on her stomach. In seven months she would be having her own child and then her and Finn could be a family. Suddenly she jumped as the slab on the cave rolled back but it was only Finn.
"Sorry only me" Finn smiled kissing Rachel. "You will be pleased to know Miss. P is just fine. They are checking her for observation but it looks like Mr. Schue got there in the nick of time!"
"That's great news" Rachel replied sincerely. "Emily's just been a little angel" she smiled "I just hope our little boy or girl is a good as she is" she grinned as she and Finn embraced.
"We better get going Mr. Schue is waiting outside and I promised him I wouldn't be long, I think he wants to see Emily as well" Finn smiled. Rachel nodded as she picked Emily and the trio walked out of the cave.
Sophia, Daryl and Emily walked out of the choir room to see Miss. Pilsbury standing outside the water fountain dabbing her eyes.
"Miss. P?" Sophia glanced up at the guidance counsellor "Are you ok?"
"Course she's not ok she's crying" Daryl hissed at his girlfriend.
"I-I'm fine" Emma replied smiling before walking down the corridor.
"Shes not ok and I bet I know who caused it" Emily replied crossing her arms. "And its the same person who will stop me from going home if I don't do something to stop it" she exclaimed as she slammed her bag against the locker then walked down the corridor.
"Did she just say..." Daryl trailed off confused.
"Like I said just ignore anything Emily says" Sophia grinned putting an arm around Daryl as they walked down the corridor together.
"Funk!" Wil announced writing it on the whiteboard "Use it in a sentence."
"This cheese smells funky" Rachel replied while Puck made a stupid joke "Shut it Puckerman!" Rachel yelled.
"I was more thinking of Vocal Adrenaline has sure put us in a funk" Will replied.
"I'm so depressed I've worn the same outfit twice this week" Kurt murmured.
"My nail buds have been bitten off more than I can chew" Sophia added.
"I'm depressed that Miss. P is depressed" Emily thought but didn't say it out loud.
"Don't worry i have this one covered" Mercedes smiled. Emily blinked had she missed something.
"Hang on a minute I want to get funky too" Quinn protested. The whole room started laughing.
"Nice one Quinn" Sophia giggled.
"You said yourself funk is soul meets anger. Look at me im furious!" Quinn added.
"Yeah but white people just cant do Funk," Sophia replied "I mean no offence but it's just not in us."
"Sophia I will have something planned for tomorrow" Quinn replied angrily. Sophia just shrugged and glanced at Daryl who had an amused look on his face.
"Ok great Quinn goes first" Will smiled happily. The bell then rang and Emily was first out of the room giving a look to Will as she exited.
(Emily was walking past Miss. Sylvesters office as she wanted to do some extra practise for Nationals. However she was confused to see Mr. Schue walking out of it whistling and looking pretty happy.)
"I thought Mr. Schue and Miss. Sylvester hated one another" Emily said confused. Sophia and Daryl looked at one another and shrugged.
"Maybe he needed her help?" Daryl shrugged. Sophia nodded.
"But you saw the way he reacted when she came into the office unless..." Emily paused for effect and she shook her head "No don't be stupid Emily" she replied bitterly.
"Unless what" Sophia replied.
"Unless he was having an affair with her" Emily replied. There was a pause then Sophia and Daryl started to burst into laughter .
"Yeah good one Em" Sophia replied bursting into giggles.
"I know you said you were joking but thats taking things too far" Daryl smirked.
"It makes sense though the fighting the secret meetings and Miss. P crying. Plus they say love springs from hate" Emily shrugged. Daryl and Sophia took time from laughing to glance at the red headed girl.
"Your serious aren't you?" Sophia raised an eyebrow at Emily who nodded.
"It all fits" Emily murmured "I'll keep you posted" she replied as Sophia and Daryl looked at one another.
"Sometimes I don't know if shes being serious or joking" Sophia murmured. "That's the most ludricious thing ever!"
"She has a point" Daryl shrugged.
"Not you too," Sophia exclaimed "I refuse to believe." Sophia crossed her arms across her Cheerios outfit as Daryl just smirked and pushed her letting her know he was joking.
"I'm only joking" Daryl replied. "Maybe it's just something or nothing. Emily's probably got things mixed up as usual."
"I hope so" Sophia mumbled as the two walked down the corridor.
(Will walked down the corridor whistling as he noticed some of of the Cheerios slumped against the lockers. Then he saw Sophia crying against Daryls shoulder and he walked up to her concerned.)
"Sophia?" Will replied but she just shrugged him off still sobbing. Santana then walked past not making an attempt to tease Sophia as she was in hysterics as well. Will then noticed Brittany pulling Jacob next to the lockers as she seemed to be screaming as well. Another cheerio walked past slightly sobbing.
"Kurt what the hell is going on here?" Will exclaimed.
"Its coach Sylvester she hasn't been to practise for days" Kurt explained. "I mean I'm ok I have Glee but to some of these girls this National championship could be the case between getting a scholarship and not getting one .And the rest are just confused." Kurt shrugged as he walked away leaving Will alone. He then saw Emily standing against the locker looking bitter. Will walked up to the smaller girl and glanced at her.
"This is all your fault" Emily glared at Will. "If you hadn't been having an affair with her then she wouldn't be off colour and..." she paused as Will grabbed her arm.
"What?" he said confused. "You thought I was having an relationship with..." he shook his head and started laughing.
"So if you haven't then why has she not been attending practise and is pulling out of Nationals?" Emily glared up at Will.
"Because that is my fault. I lead her on because of her constant goading against me and New Directions. I wanted her to know what it felt like to be humiliated but it backfired on me. Kurt was right these girls need a national trophy" Will rubbed his head.
"Oh my gosh im so sorry!" Emily replied slightly embarrassed, Will just gave a small smile.
"You weren't to know" he replied as the two of them slowly walked towards the choir room.
"So why was Miss. P crying?" Emily thought as she sat down next to Sophia who still looked tearful as Puck Finn and Mercedes performed 'Good Vibrations'
"A kick butt old school rap song" Puck smirked bringing back Emily's thoughts.
"Does it really matter Mr. Schue?" Artie piped up. "We're so depressed were even picking the wrong songs. We must be in a bigger funk than I thought" as they all sat in silence.
"And I just keep having nightmares of all the mothers of the little baby chicks coming after me for revenge" Rachel said depressed. Emily grabbed her hand while Puck looked horrified.
"Right that`s it Finn, Matt ,Daryl Mike come with me!" Puck exclaimed as the four boys all got up and walked straight to the door.
"Hold on a minute!" Will exclaimed "What`s going on here?"
"We're gonna go all braveheart on Vocal Adrenaline!" Finn exclaimed.
"Yeah what's the best way to mess up that Jessie's kid face" Puck replied.
"Mr. Schue, Rachel's one of us were the only ones who get to humiliate her" Kurt exclaimed.
"Sit back down!" Will yelled. Only Kurt and Daryl scuttled back to their seats. "Look I know what it's like to be messed with and trust me its not nice. Look at you all of you are amazing" Will replied.
"Well we cant just let Vocal Adrenaline get away with turning Rachel into an omelette" Finn replied.
"Yeah I mean if it was Sophia I know I would want revenge" Daryl said quietly as the guys got back to their seats and Will dialled Jessie's number on Rachel's phone.
"You would do that for me?" Sophia whispered, Daryl nodded.
"Jessie St. James this is Will Schuester I want you and the rest of Vocal Adrenaline to meet at our auditorium 3pm sharp" Will then hung up, gave the phone back to Rachel and looked around the room. Emily gave Will a small smile as she sat next to Rachel. Now all she needed to do was to sort out Miss. P.
(Will sat watching the Cheerio Narional Championships on television which they had won when suddenly there was a knock at the door. Will went to answer it and Santana, Sophia, Brittany and Emily walked in with the large trophy. They placed it down then turned to face Sue.)
"Go" Sue instructed them then turned to face Emily. "Uh not you I want you here" she smirked. Emily`s face turned white "I want you here when I humiliate your father" Sue whispered. Emily's fingers started to shake as Will came back into the room.
"You ok Emily?" he asked concerned and Emily nodded.
"May I be excused" she whispered. Will nodded and Emily fled the apartment. How had Coach Sylvester worked it out but she wasn't stupid not by a long shot. Emily sat outside the apartment and started to sob. It then showed her staring at the giant trophy that had been put in the choir room, Sophia next to her. Suddenly Emily started to feel faint as a flashback came to her.
Emily stood at the top of the cliff the wind blowing through her long hair. She turned when suddenly she could feel herself wobbling.
"Em!" a voice was heard and she glanced to see her father, mother and Josh running towards her. Will then managed to grab her hand as she nearly fell off the cliff.
"Look I'm sorry about what I said about Josh. I didn't mean it and well if you want to do the nasty with him you can" Emily blushed this wasn't the sort of conversation you should be having with your father at the top of a cliff.
"If I don't make it then I just want to say I love you!" she exclaimed as the pain in her head screamed as she clung to the hand of her father. The grip on his hand tightened as she clung onto his strong grasp but she knew she couldn't hold on much longer.
"Dad!" she exclaimed as she shut her eyes tight. "I- I don't think I can hold on much longer" she cried out. Suddenly she let her limp grip go and she continued to fall and fall until she couldn't see her father much longer...
"Em!" Will yelled as he sank to his knees and Emma ran to him Josh not knowing where to look. Will then leant against Emma's shoulder as he sobbed.
"I'll ring for an ambulance" Emma suggested as she got out her cell phone and dialled the emergency number...
"Em Em!" a voice was heard and Emily looked up to see Sophia glancing at her. "Thank goodness!" she exclaimed "Come on we have to go and meet Vocal Adrenaline at the auditorium." She smiled as she helped Emily to her feet.
(Will knocked sharply on the door of Emma's office as she called to come in but as he entered the office she looked down sharply at the notes she was writing.)
"Look I know I was stupid walking out like that," Will paused "But I don't want to lose you especially to some dentist. I know that I can't be the cleanest person and that sometimes that I screw things up but the truth is I..." he was interrupted by Emma walking forward and planted a kiss.
"I forgive you" she said smiling "And if you want I'll transfer dentists."
"You don't have to..." Will started to say but Emma cut him off.
"It be kinda weird anyway after I stormed out." She looked embarrassed as Will just gave a small smile. "I'm sorry this is totally unattractive" she replied blushing.
"In fact it's very attractive" Will said smirking leaning in for another kiss then glanced at his watch. "Oh shoot I have to meet up with Vocal Adrenaline we're gonna give them a funk performance that will put them in a deep funk!" Wll then walked out of the door smiling as he met the Glee kids at the auditorium.
"You're in a good mood Mr. Schue" Emily said innocently. Will just gave Emily a look as the Glee Clubbers went on the stage.
"That was totally awesome we smashed it!" Finn exclaimed giving an high five to Daryl.
"I think we could be in the driving sear for Regionals" Sophia grinned.
"Don't get too complacent guys remember what happened at Sectionals" Will warned the team.
"We know Mr. Schue" Quinn replied rolling her eyes then giving a small smile to her director after what happened after her 'It's a Man's World' performance. Emily then walked up to Will and glanced at him.
"May I be excused Mr. Schue?" she asked. Will nodded and Emily walked off backstage ignoring the looks Sophia and Daryl were giving her. Emily strode down the corridor and knocked on Miss. Pillsbury's office door.
"Emily hi!" Emma said surprised.
"Miss. P I have something important to tell you" Emily said as she shut the office door behind her.
