Even though I'm sure I don't have to, I will say that I don't own Glee. I my dream that I do, but if that was the case Finn wouldn't be such an idiot, and he wouldn't have dumped Rachel! Just for a little bit of clarification, anything that is in italics, is thoughts... That and I recommend listening to the songs they sing at the time you read about them. It makes it 10x better!

Lilly's POV:

"What do you mean you want me to sing for them?"

"Come on Lilly. I've told them all about you, and they want to know if you can sing!"

"Rachel Barbara Berry, I ca- fine."

I couldn't believe this. My first day in Lima Ohio, and what is Rachel having me do? Give a private concert for her friends. Not that this is really a bad thing. I mean, I am going to be living here for a year, and it would be nice to have people to hang with other than Rachel . . . . but really? Right now? The last sane moment I remember is standing in the kitchen discussing food, and then there was a knock at the door, and "they" were there. Next thing I know, I'm being ushered down to the basement, and told that pizza is on the way, and to have fun getting to know the "kids". What? I guess I should. It will make my actual audition less nerve wracking. . . . . .

"Rachel, before she sings, will you at least introduce her?"
"Come on white girl, where are your manners?"

I smirked at that comment.

"Actually, I think I know who you all are. Or at least I can guess."

Looking around the room, my gaze stopped at the tall blonde girl who asked Rachel to introduce me.

"You must be Brittany."

"Wow. Did you guys see that! I didn't even tell her my name! Are you psychic?"

I had to laugh. Smiling I said "No. It's just that Rachel has told me all about you guys. The tall guy, hiding back by the stairs, I'd bet that's Finn. And Puck is sitting with Lauren at the bar."

Turning around, I saw who I assumed were Mike and Tina at the stage.

"Mike and Tina?" I got a smile and a nod from the Asian couple. Turning yet again, I now found myself facing a couch.

"Let's see, Mercedes, Quinn, and Santana?"

"Wow, Rachel, you really did tell her all about us." This comment came from Santana.

"The question becomes does she know who is missing?" This came from Mercedes.

"Oh that's easy. Kurt, and Artie."

"Wow. I'm not sure if I should be impressed, or scared" Quinn this time.

"But she did miss someone!" added Brittany.

Shoot I thought I'd done so well!

Looking around the room, I searched for a face that I had missed. It wasn't until I heard snickering that I walked over to Finn and peered around him to look up the stairs. "Sam right? That was mean!" Not sure who's idea was, I sent my glare at both Sam and Finn. I squared my shoulders and walked back to stand beside a now grinning Rachel ignoring the laughing that seemed to come from everyone in the room.

"You know, you don't have to sing a song just because Rachel said you do. We really can wait until Monday to hear you sing."

I smiled and thanked Mercedes, but told her that I would like to. If they were 'OK' with it.

"I feel like I know you all." Looking around the room, I was greeted by smiles (with the exception of Quinn and Santana). "But you guys really don't know anything about me. I mean I am not sure what Rachel has told you, about me that is."

"Not much" Finn said this before sitting on a chair.

In doing so, it made room for Sam to walk down the stairs and actually join the rest of us.

"Well, let me introduce myself. My name is Lilly Kane. I'm sixteen years old. My birthday is October 10. My favourite colour is red, and I LOVE country music."

There were a few groans from across the room, but I immediately noticed that Sam was grinning.

"Ya, I know, I get that a lot. But in the town that I'm from, we only had two radio stations for a long time, and the only good one was the country one, so . . . . But I hope you guys won't hate me too much if the song I sing is country?"

Since no one seemed to mind I walked up to the stage and grabbed my guitar. Which in that moment, I was glad Rachel insisted on talking down earlier.

"What song are you going to do?" Rachel asked "My dad's have this sweet system set up so that I can get the music for pretty much any song. I just need to know what song it is."

Smiling, I said "One of my favourites. Rascal Flatts 'Easy'. Can you get that one?"

Rachel laughed and told me that it happened to be one of her favourites as well, and that it was already in the system.

I was just about to start when Sam spoke up.

"You do realize that you can't sing that song by yourself. I mean, it is a duet."

"Well, since you seem to know so much about this particular song, why don't you join me?"

A few comments were made, but it wasn't until Mercedes told him to "get up there white boy" that Sam actually made a move. Once he was up in stage Rachel started the song.

(SAM)

We broke up
yeah, it's tough
most guys would've been crushed
Wastin' their time
Wonderin' where they went wrong
No way, not me
Hey, I'm doing just fine
I'm not afraid to move on

It's easy going out on Friday night
Easy every time I see her out
I can smile, live it up
The way a single guy does
But what she, what she don't know
Is how hard it is to make it look so
Easy

(Lilly)
The truth is,
I miss lyin' in those arms of his
But I don't ever let it show
I laugh and I act

Like I'm having the time of my life
as far as he knows

It's easy goin' out on a Friday night
Easy, every time I see him out
I can smile, live it up
Like a single girl does
But, what he, what he don't know
is how hard it is to make it look so
Easy
Oh, it's easy

Oh, it's easy goin' out on a Friday night
Oh, it's easy every time I see him out
I can smile, live it up
Forget about the way it was
But what she
Oh, what he don't know
What she don't know
Is how hard it is to make it look so
Easy

Oh oh oh...

Oh oh oh...

Oh oh oh...

Oh oh oh...

Oh oh it's so easy
Look so easy
So easy
Yeah-ooo

Yeah

There was silence for a few seconds after we finished. I guess they weren't expecting us to sound that good. Or maybe it was just me they weren't expecting to be good. But the next thing I knew, I was surrounded by a group of kids that were smiling, clapping, and congratulating me. I wasn't sure what to say or do so I just stood there. In fact I would probably still be standing there if Rachel's dad hadn't called down to tell us that the pizza was there. In a split second it seemed that everyone had left. Everyone that is, except Sam and I. Holding out his had to me, I found him shaking it and saying,

"Hi. I'm Sam Evans. It's nice to officially meet you"

I smiled and said "Likewise. And thank you for singing that with me. You did it really well."

"So did you.

"Oh of the love of . . . would you two stop it all right all ready and come and get some pizza!"

We laughed at Rachel's antics and went up the stairs to join the others.

The rest of the night passed in a blur. I found myself liking the "Lima kids" as I'd dubbed them even more than I thought I would. By the end of the night even Santana and Quinn warmed up to me. I went to bed that night with a smile on my face, and looking forward to the following Monday, and my first day of school.

Well, we all know that the first day of school is always interesting. I hope that none of this was too confusing. And I know that I don't have to say it, but please review. I love to get feed back, and ideas always help stave off writers block! That and the more reviews I get, the fast I write...
