Annie

So, broadwaybabewa and I have come up with this idea. Basically the concept of Annie, but instead of Annie, the main character is April Rhodes… crazy right. The people who find her is the imaginary family we have created for Will Schuester. This is the family we use in our other stories. And you're never gonna believe who portrays Ms. Hannigan!

PREVIOUSLY

She nods in agreement and looks longingly at the building. We start walking in and she smiles when she feels the warmth from the heat. We get situated at a table and she gives me a small smile, and pulls the coat tighter around her, trying to warm up. I quickly text Debbie telling her what's happened, and agrees that we should keep her until we talk to the orphanage and see what's going on. Because it certainty doesn't look good from the condition she's in.

GREG SCHUESTER'S APARTMENT

Greg's POV

We left the restaurant and started back to the apartment, shortly after we got in the car, she curled up in my coat and fell asleep. Poor thing, she's still shivering. She ate the entire stack of pancakes, whoever was supposed to be taking care of her at the orphanage, hasn't been doing their job.

We pull up in front of the apartment, and she doesn't move much, she's sound asleep. I get out of the truck and pick her up. She snuggles into me; her shivering subsides a little when I wrap my arms around her.

I unlock the apartment, and Debbie comes to the door from the kitchen. She immediately notices April, who's still sleeping in my arms.

"Hey… who's this cute little girl?" She asks me.

"This is April, I found her outside." I explain, rubbing April's back.

"Oh my god. Why was she outside in this storm?"

"She's from the orphanage…" I tell her, watching her facial expression change.

"Oh, is she okay?" she asks, looking at the little girl.

"She's really cold…" I tell her, pulling my coat closer to April's body.

"I would think so. Keep her wrapped up in your coat. Has she had anything to eat?" Debbie asks.

"I took her to IHOP" I explain, and she sighs in relief. She was starving, and I know the food helped warm her body up a little.

"Okay, I don't want her to go back there, I think something bad happened. I'll take care of her if you wanna give them a call and see what's going on." She suggests. April starts stirring and wakes up.

"Okay…" I say, rubbing the little girl's back.

"Hey April, I'm Debbie. Do you wanna come sit with me for a while?" she asks.

"Okay…" she mumbles.

"Do you want me to carry you?" Debbie asks her.

April just nods in my shoulder. Debbie picks her up and I fix my coat around April's shoulders.

DEBBIE SHUESTER'S POV

I take the tiny girl from Greg's arms and she shivers a little when his coat slips from her body.

"It's gonna be okay…" I reassure her. She just clings to me, looking for something warm.

I gently rub her back, "I'm gonna find you a big warm blanket, just relax" she snuggles into me and tries to keep his coat wrapped around her.

I sit her down on the couch and wrap her in a big blanket, "Can you tell me how old you are sweetie?"

"Eleven…" she mumbles. Poor thing, she's probably been in that orphanage since she was a baby.

"Okay, your hair seemed pretty wet, I can wash it and get it dry. You'll feel better when I do…" I suggest, from the way it looks it hasn't been washed in at least a week, and she's been out in the cold and the snow for who knows how long.

She looks at me eagerly, "Okay…"

I smile and help her into the bathroom so I can get her cleaned up. I'm just gonna do her hair right now, since she doesn't have anything else to wear. I've gotta call Kim and see if I can get some of Chelsea or Molly's old clothes for right now, it's way too cold to get her out shopping.

She lets me help her up onto the counter and get her situated with her head hanging over the sink. I got her to put on one of my old long sleeve shirts so her clothes don't get wet; the thing is like a dress on her, she's so tiny. She smiles as the warm water hits her head; it probably feels really good to her. I finally get the long curly blond hair clean and sit her up so I can dry it. It takes me a good twenty minutes to get her thick hair completely dry.

She runs her fingers through her clean hair and smiles. It's got to feel a lot lighter. I notice she's got some dirty spots on her face and get a washrag wet and put a little soap on it. "I'm just gonna wipe your face okay sweetie…"

She nods and I get her face clean, which causes her smile to get a little bigger. I help her down from the counter and we go back into the living room. Greg is sitting on the couch with the phone in his hand, but gets up when he sees us come back. She looks at the couch, then at me.

"Why don't we sit on the couch and watch a movie?" I suggest. She nods and lies down on the couch, pulls the blanket over her, and starts sucking her thumb. I sit down next to her and she curls up even more under the blanket, trying to get warm.

I tune out the movie and I can hear Greg on the phone in the other room. He's probably talking to the people at the orphanage.

GREG SCHUESTER'S POV

I looked up the number to the orphanage, and the website told me its run by a Sue Sylvester.

I dial the number and the woman picks up. "Hello?" she screams.

"Hi… Ms. Sylvester?" I calmly reply.

"WHERE THE HELL IS APRIL?" she yells at me. She sounds angry that April's ran away, not concerned at all.

"Calm down, she's with me.." I explain.

"With you?" she asks.

"Yeah, I found her. Why the hell did you let her outside without a coat? She was freezing…" I reply, I just know this woman doesn't care very much.

"She ran off! She doesn't have a coat!" the woman yells at me.

"It's fricken December! If anything she should have a coat, and she was starving… when was the last time she had anything to eat?"

"I don't know!" the woman screams into the phone.

"So you're tellin me you don't feed them, and they don't have anything warm to wear in this weather?" I ask, I'm definitely calling James later.

"Not really" she mumbles back.

"You're about to be in some serious trouble. My wife and I are already registered as foster parents, so guess what… we're keepin her through Christmas and I'm really good friends with the police chief.." I explain.

"What?" she yells.

"You heard me, the next phone call I'm makin is to the chief. And I'm comin by to sign whatever it is I have to sign so we can keep her…"

"Fine I'll get the papers!" she screams.

"Good, how many other little girls do you have in that dump you call an orphanage?" I ask, Debbie begged me to make sure the other girls were okay.

"Way too many…" she replies, sounding annoyed.

"I know some other people who would love to take care of them, you clearly don't care enough about them.." I say to her.

She's quiet after I say this, I think it's finally hit her that she's gonna be in trouble.

"I'll see you in about an hour…" I say, she just hangs up, I'm worried about those other girls now that she knows James is coming with me when I go over there.

Hopefully we can get things taken care of and those other girls out of the situation she's been in. Hopefully James isn't busy and he can come with me to the orphanage to see what's going on.

A/N: It's about to get intense. Believe me, there's some crazy stuff planned for the visit to the orphanage. Oh, and in case you missed it, the orphanage is ran by none other than Sue Sylvester. That was definitely broadwaybabewa's idea. I thought it was hilarious, and decided to use it. I hope you're liking this story, please let me know and leave a review!
