INT. HALLWAYS
Zane and Avery are at his locker laughing amongst each other. Avery was flirting with him unbeknownst to Zane who was unintentionally flirting back. Autumn walks down the hall to notice how friendly the two is behaving towards each other. She continues to walk until she approaches them and interrupts.
Zane kisses her check and continues to smile as if nothing was wrong. Avery looks at Autumn with pleasure as if she wanted to cause a riff in their relationship. She is playing in her hair and smiling devilishly.
"Hey babe," Zane said placing his arms around her "Avery and I was just catching up."
"You two know each other," Autumn said concerned. She didn't want to admit it but she was somewhat jealous of their flirtation.
"Zane and I use to go to school together before I came here. We had a little thing but it wasn't anything serious."
Zane smiles begin to fade as Avery revealed their history. Avery smiles as she watches how withdrawn Autumn becomes. Avery walks away with content.
"Listen it's not what it sounded like. Yes, we had a past, but that's all and I would never do anything to jeopardize my relationship with you," Zane said looking into her eyes while holding her hand.
Autumn begins to smile because she knows Zane was being sincere with her.
"I was thinking that we should put on a musical," she said as they begin to walked down the hall "New Directions did it in the past and I think it would a great way for us to get ready for Nationals.
"As long as I'm your leading man," Zane says leaning in for a kiss.
INT. CHOIR ROOM
"Autumn brought to my attention a great way for you guys to gain more experience and be even better for Nationals," Sam stated.
"How? We already decided to do original songs," Solaris stated with a snobby attitude.
"We will be putting on a musical for the school," Rachel busted into excitement.
The room looks at her as they are embarrassed that she is super excited to be doing a musical.
"Really! A musical of all things," Jeffrey interjects.
"Yes. A musical would be a great way to exercise our voices," Autumn said.
"I agree. I think it could be fun! I'm down," Candace said excited.
"Great we will be holding auditions in the Auditorium. Rachel will be one of the couches to help prepare you guys vocally," Sam said.
"And I will be your director," A voice said as a guy in a wheelchair rolls in.
Artie Abrams appeared in front of everyone. Rachel and Sam both go over and greet him with big smiles and hugs. Artie was an alumnus of New Directions and good friends to both Rachel and Sam.
"Thank you for coming," Sam whispered and smiled.
"I wouldn't have missed this opportunity to direct an old fashion play.
"What play do we have the unfortunate pleasure of doing," Garth said crossing her arms
"Wicked!" Sam, Rachel, and Artie said in unison.
INT. AUDITORIUM
Autumn is on the stage going through sheet music. Rachel walks onto the stage and joins her. She scans through the sheet music and smile remembering how she was in high school always eager to perform.
"Have you thought of anything you wanted to do for your audition," Rachel said smiling.
"There are so many musicals I can pull from. I could do a song from Wicked, but what if it's not right. Or maybe another musical, but then it still might not be good enough," Autumn said panicky.
"Calm down! It's alright," Rachel said holding on to her shoulder trying to calm her down "Do you know what role you want to play?"
"I think I would be great as Glinda," Autumn said calming down.
Rachel looks over back at the sheet music. She smiles after seeing the perfect song to perform.
"Kurt and I song this song our sophomore year when we went to New York for Nationals," Rachel hands over the music to Autumn "We had snuck onto the Wicked stage. When I song this with Kurt, my best friend we said we would be in New York. That day I will never forget because I realized my true love is Broadway and probably will always be Broadway."
Rachel:
I'm limited
Just look at me - I'm limited
And just look at you
You can do all I couldn't do, Glinda
So now it's up to you
For both of us
Now it's up to you
(Autumn smiles and walks to center stage. As the spotlight comes up and Autumn is now wearing a cobalt blue, floor length sweetheart dress.)
Autumn:
I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you...
Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good
(Rachel walks over now wearing a black, long neck, formal gown. She places her hands on her shoulders.)
Rachel:
It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you
You'll be with me
Like a hand print on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend...
Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a sky bird
In a distant wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
Autumn:
Because I knew you
Autumn and Rachel:
I have been changed for good
Rachel:
And just to clear the air
I ask forgiveness
For the things I've done you blame me for
Autumn:
But then, I guess we know
There's blame to share
Autumn and Rachel:
And none of it seems to matter anymore
(Their arms are around each other waist facing the audience. Autumn sheds a tear as she sings with emotion and Rachel smiles being able to see the promise Autumn has a performer)
Autumn (Rachel):
Like a comet pulled from orbit (Like a ship blown from its mooring)
As it passes a sun (By a wind off the sea)
Like a stream that meets a boulder (Like a seed dropped)
Halfway through the wood (By a bird in the wood)
Autumn and Rachel:
Who can say if I've been
Changed for the better?
I do believe I have been
Changed for the better
Autumn:
And because I knew you
Rachel
Because I knew you
Autumn and Rachel:
Because I knew you
I have been changed for good
Everything has returned to normal. Sam and Artie are sitting in the stands. Rachel walks off the stage and joins the two in the stands. Autmun bows and begins to walk off the stage.
"Thank you for helping me with my auditions Mrs. Berry – St. James," Autumn said hugging Rachel.
Zane appears in the auditorium to wait for Autumn. Sam and the other talk amongst themselves.
"We will let you know in a few days Ms. Rivers," Artie said.
Autumn approaches Zane and put on a not so sure smile. He hug her and they leave the auditorium.

Candace and Noah are sitting at in the library studying. Candace was looking at the flyer for the school music. She has always felt singing was in her blood, but because of her sister trouble in the music business can of stopped her from fully embracing her talents.
"Are you thinking about trying out for the school musical," Candace said looking up from her book.
"I thought about it, but it's so time consuming. I've been doing a lot more to help my folks," said Noah "But I think you should try out. It couldn't hurt."
INT. AUDITORIUM
Candace walks onto the stage carrying her guitar.
"Hello! My name is Candace Lee and I will be auditioning for Nessarose."
Candace is on stage strumming her guitar playing Carrie Underworld's Blown Away. Artie has his fingers locked trying to really critic Candace performance. Sam and Rachel are nodding their heads in enjoyment.
Candace:
Dry lightning cracks across the skies
Those storm clouds gather in her eyes
Her daddy was a mean old mister
Mama was an angel in the ground
The weather man called for a twister
She prayed blow it down
There's not enough rain in Oklahoma
To wash the sins out of that house
There's not enough wind in Oklahoma
To rip the nails out of the past
[Chorus:]
Shatter every window 'til it's all blown away,
Every brick, every board, every slamming door blown away
'Til there's nothing left standing, nothing left of yesterday
Every tear-soaked whiskey memory blown away,
Blown away
She heard those sirens screaming out
Her daddy laid there passed out on the couch
She locked herself in the cellar
Listened to the screaming of the wind
Some people call it taking shelter
She called it sweet revenge
[Chorus:]
Shatter every window 'til it's all blown away,
Every brick, every board, every slamming door blown away
'Til there's nothing left standing, nothing left of yesterday
Every tear-soaked whiskey memory blown away,
Blown away
There's not enough rain in Oklahoma
To wash the sins out of that house
There's not enough wind in Oklahoma
To rip the nails out of the past
Shatter every window 'til it's all blown away (blown away)
Every brick, every board, every slamming door blown away (blown away)
'Til there's nothing left standing, nothing left of yesterday (blown away)
Every tear-soaked whiskey memory blown away,
Blown away, blown away, blown away, blown away, blown away
Candace smiles and walks off stage.
INT. GYM
Avery notices that Zane is in the gym working out. She enters and smiles flirtatiously at him.
"We should do a duet together like old times," Avery said.
"That sounds fun, but I would have to ask Autumn," Zane said as he stopped doing his work out to wipe his sweat.
INT. AUDITORIUM
Avery is in her Cheerios uniform dancing on stage. She caress her body being sexual as Alicia Key's Feat. Maxwell A Fire We Make is played on the piano by Zane. She walks over to him and takes a seat.

Avery:

I wanna tell you just how I feel
I wanna love you baby
And it's going so right
I wanna burn a candle
Turn the darkness to the light
With the fire we make

It's getting higher and higher
Like the night to the day
I can't stay, I can't stay away
Avery (Zane) :
This invisible pull; and it takes us to the stars
It's getting higher and higher
It's the fire we make (it's the fire we make)
Getting sweeter and sweeter
Like a night to a day
(About to make up these flames)
I can't stay away, say is, no no (yeah)
