Chapter 37
Ditch Day
"Okay, we need to talk about senior ditch day," Puck said when everyone got together in the library.
"How about we go to the Wal-Mart?" Jeff suggested.
"The mall, it is senior ditch day not senior citizen ditch day," Puck replied.
"Quinn, I am so sorry," Rachel paused, "It was my wedding you were going to, and I can't help but feel like it was my fault that you crashed. Now we are all sitting here talking about this day that is supposed to be the most amazing day of our lives, and we are completely ignoring the fact that you are sitting in that chair... It's not right... It's just not right."
"Look, it's the way it is. My accident, which you did not cause, is not going to ruin our ditch day. Now come here," Quinn pulled Rachel into a hug, "Now, I think that we should go to Six Flags."
"Lady Febray has chosen wisely," Puck said, "Six Flags it is."
When they were all in the choir room Sue Sylvester, the cheerleading coach came in and went right to the white board.
"Lazy idiots," she said, as she wrote it on the board, "Your leader Will Schuester has informed me that you believe my teaching methods are harsh and too extreme. So I decided to show you what a real artist looks and acts like. Ladies and gays, as my gift to you, I give your Porcelain's famous brother..."
"Actually it is my brother," Blaine interrupted.
"Cooper Anderson," Sue finished.
"Thank you. I remember when I was like you guys, but I accomplished my dreams."
"I bet that since the two Anderson brothers are both so talented you guys did a lot of duets," Rachel said.
"Funny you say that because we were actually known in our neighborhood for our dueling Simon Lebron impressions."
"No not really," Blaine tried to get out of it.
"Come on Blaine, how about a little Duran Duran."
"Fine."
Blaine: Dark in the city, night is a wire
Steam in the subway, earth is a fire
(Both: Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo)
Cooper: Woman, you want me, give me a sign
And catch my breathing even closer behind
(Both: Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo)
Both: Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
(Cooper: Smell like I sound!)
Just like that river twisting through a dusty land
(Cooper: Stratal the line!)
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
(Cooper: Mouth is alive!)
Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande
Blaine: Hungry like the wolf.
Hungry like the wolf.
Hungry like the wolf.
Blaine and Cooper with New Directions: Don't make a sound!
Her name is Rio she don't need to understand (Cooper with New Directions: Smell like I sound!)
And I might find her if I'm looking like I can (Cooper with New Directions: Stratal the line!)
Oh Rio, Rio hear them shout across the land (Cooper with New Directions: Mouth is alive!)
From mountains in the north down to the Rio Grande
Cooper: Fightin' the ground!
Her name is Rio she don't need to understand (New Directions: Smell like I sound!)
From mountains in the north down to the Rio Grande
Fightin' the ground!
"Woo, I was really great in that number," Cooper rasped.
Meanwhile, at Dalton.
"I have a song that I want to sing," Eduwiges announced when the Warblers gathered in the hall.
"What is it?" Sebastian asked.
"You'll see."
Eduwiges: You know I know how

"I quit. I hate this school. You are all a bunch of pussies with your no bullying policy and I am tired of wearing this stupid blazer!" The room was staring at him.
"Where are you going to go?" McKinley, "I know some people there, and they sure as heck don't make me wear retarded clothing from the 80's."
"Would now be a bad time?" Ulises interrupted, "I am going to go there too. I just don't have a dramatic number."
No one knew what to say as the two boys left the room.
Back at McKinley.
"Hey, girl," Puck said, as Rosa was following everyone out of the choir room.
"What?" she asked.
"I have something I want to sing for the next Glee Club assignment and I wanted to run it by you."
"Okay," Puck escorted her to a seat.
I know you want me
I made it obvious that I want you too
So put it on me
Let's remove the space between me and you
He got closer to her.
Now rock your body
Damn I like the way that you move
So give it to me, oh oooohh...
Cause I already know what you wanna do
Sat next to her.
Here's the situation
Been to every nation
Nobody's ever made me feel the way that you do
You know my motivation
Given my reputation
Please excuse me I don't mean to be rude
But tonight I'm lovin' you
Oh you know
That tonight I'm lovin' you
Oh you know
That tonight I'm lovin' you
Oh you know
That tonight I'm lovin' you
Oh you know
He crouched on a chair that he smoothly placed in front of her.
You're so damn pretty
If I had a type then baby it would be you
I know you're ready
If I never lied, than baby you'd be the truth
Here's the situation
Been to every nation
Nobody's ever made me feel the way that you do
You know my motivation
Given my reputation
Please excuse me I don't mean to be rude
But tonight I'm lovin' you
Oh you know
That tonight I'm lovin' you
Oh you know
That tonight I'm lovin' you
Oh you know
That tonight I'm lovin' you
Oh you know
"So, what do you think?"
"I think, I'll have to think more about it," she left him, alone, in the room and hurried to catch up with her friends.
Update 4/18/12: "So, are you guys going to go to Cooper's acting master class?" Alejandra asked when they stopped outside the school.
"I think I will. I always wanted to dabble in acting," Jeff replied
"It is ditch day tomorrow. Are you guys ready to go to Six Flags?" Ivan Flores asked.
"I want to go to Six Flags," Eduwiges said when he and Ulises arrived in the school parking lot.
"Oh my gosh, where have you two been?" Alyssa asked.
"Well we didn't want to leave Dalton right after they lost," Ulises answered.
"Ulises, Eduwiges, this is Jeff's cousin, Jarrett," Rosa introduced.
"Cool."
"Nice to meet you," Jarrett replied.
Artie and Quinn rolled up and motioned to Jeff to come over and talk with them.
"What's up?" Jeff questioned.
"Well, Artie has a good point. We are in wheel chairs and it wouldn't be very fun for us to go with to Six Flags," Quinn stated.
"But we only get one ditch day, and we want to not enjoy it?"
"No, Artie has a plan, but he refuses to tell me what it is," Quinn laughed a little.
"I guess..."
"Great, Quinn, we will pick you up tomorrow morning at ten."
Everyone said their goodbyes and went home for a good night's rest.
"Hey, are you ready?" Artie asked, knocking on the bathroom door at 9:40.
"Yes," Jeff opened the door and followed him out of the house to a bus that Artie's dad must have rented them, "So, where are we going."
"Alyssa, can I tell you something, and will you not tell anyone?" Rosa asked as they got ready.
"What is it?"
"I think that the mohawk kid likes me and wants to go all the way with me."
"WHAT?" Alyssa yelled.
"He sang me a song and I think that was what he was trying to tell me."
"And? What do you want?" Alyssa asked.
"I don't know."
"I will warn you now, he hasn't been the nicest person since we got here."
"But he is kind of hot."
"You can make your own decisions."
Update 4/20/12: "Hey, hurry up in there. I have to get ready too," Alegandra pounded on the bathroom door.
"Sorry," Rosa mumbled as she and Alyssa gave up the bathroom.
"Okay, we picked up Quinn, now will you tell us where we are going?" Jeff pestered Artie.
"You'll see," he said while the bus pulled into the parking lot.
"Is this..." Jeff began, "a skate park?"
"Yeah, but for people that are handicapped."
"Oh my gosh, I am so excited," Ulises squealed once everyone was on the bus to Six Flags.
"I know right," Alyssa agreed.
"Hey, how far is it to Six Flags anyways?" Ivan Flores asked.
"About 200 miles," Finn replied from the front of the bus.
"Well, I am going to sleep," Ivan Chavez said, closing his eyes.
"I think Naomi might be too short to ride the roller coasters," Alejandro joked.
"Don't judge her," Rosa angrily retorted.
"You people are weird," Jarrett said, playing with his phone.
"You're the one not talking," Eduwiges pointed out.
"Well, I don't really know any of you. I only know Buddy, and he isn't here."
"Who the hell is Buddy? Your dog?" Puck asked.
"No, everyone in our family calls Jeff, Buddy."
"That's kind of gay," Puck said.
About four hours later
"We're here," the bus driver announced.
They ran for the closest roller coaster.
"I've got to take a piss," Ivan Chavez said leaving the group to find the closest bathroom.
"I want to go shopping," Naomi whined.
"Then go," Finn said.
She ran to the gift shop.
"Hey, Naomi," Ivan Chavez said when he noticed her, looking lost, on his way out of the bathroom.
"I don't know where they went," she complained.
"I am sure we will find them if we walk around," he replied as they walked along the path.
"HEY, watch where you're..." Ivan Chavez began, when a man that was about six two walked right in between them, but the man grabbed their wrists and pulled them into an ally.
Update 4/24/12: "Hey, have any of you heard from Naomi?" Ivan Flores asked after they had gone on at least four roller coasters.
"No, but I tried calling her and Ivan..." Alegandra began, "but the phone says the number is no longer in service."
"Oh my god!" a girl shouted, "I am so glad I found you."
The girl was about five six and had short black hair that came down to her shoulders. Her eyes were a chestnut color and were squinting in the sunlight.
"CRISTINA!" Ulises squealed running to his best friend faster than light itself.
"I missed you too Ulises, but I have to say something important. I just saw Naomi and Ivan."
"You did? Where are they?" Rosa asked.
"That is the problem. I saw a guy grab them and then, when I tried to follow them, they were gone. I don't know where they went since they were in an ally that was a dead end."
"Maybe there is some kind of secret passage," Alejandro suggested.
"I checked the walls, but there was nothing unusual."
"How did you get here?" Alejandra asked.
"Now that you mention it, I don't really know. I was leaving CSN, but once I left the building I was outside of this park."
"Well, isn't that just fine and dandy," Santana interrupted, "If any more people come from your world we will be out numbered."
"You are as mean in person as you appear on the show," Jarrett said.
"Aww, thanks trouty twin."
"Why does everyone say that?" Sam asked.
"Oh please, if you two looked anymore alike I would call your mom to see if she gave him up for adoption," Puck argued.
"Hey, do you know that new Joe guy?" Quinn asked once they returned to the bus.
"Joe what?" Jeff asked.
"Heart."
"Tarantula head?" Artie asked.
"Yeah, he is like a teen Jesus."
"Do you like him?" Jeff quizzed.
"Maybe I do, he shares my religious beliefs."
'Shit! I saw this coming because my atheism absolutely contradicts her beliefs. I still have a chance though because he has dreadlocks and I don't."
"Hey, do you guys see that kid on the side of the road?" Artie asked, signaling to the bus driver to pull over.
"You are not supposed to pick up hitchhikers," Jeff argued, but once the boy got on his attitude changed. The boy was six two and had black hair that was in a mohawk that stood almost three inches over the top of his head. His eyes were an amber shade that looked like a pool of gold in the afternoon sun.
"Sixto?" Jeff asked, startled.
"Jeff, in a wheelchair..."
"What are you doing here?"
"I could ask you the same thing."
"Well, I asked you first."
"I woke up here, your turn."
"I ended up here after disappearing from a Walmart."
