Chapter 8 Championship Troubles
The musical was a complete success. Over fourteen thousand dollars were raised for nationals and it was decided that whatever money wasn't put towards hotel rooms, food, transportation, and costumes and accessories would be kept aside for future competitions. Will did, however, tell the glee club that when they went to Nationals he would get them all tickets to a Broadway show as a reward. Should they not make it to Nationals, the money would be saved for the next year. The focus was now on not only sectionals, but the championship football game that weekend. Principal Figgins was back from his sick leave, forcing Coach Sylvester back into her own office.
Artie rolled down the hallway with Noelle and Josh walking next to him when all of a sudden, they were cornered by Karofsky and a couple other football players.
"Well well, what do we have here?" asked one of the other football players.
"A cripple, an ex-cripple and a traitor," said Karofsky.
"Shut up you homophobe," replied Noelle. "You know, my brother left because of you, and honestly had I known what you threatened to do to him, I would have kicked your ass!"
"Eat slushie," said another football player, throwing his slushie at Noelle. The rest of the football players followed suit and Josh, Noelle and Artie gasped as the cold slushies hit their faces.
"See you later losers!" snarked Karofsky as they all walked away from the three slushie-covered teens.
"I'm gonna kill that guy," muttered Josh. "Come on, we need to go tell the others. That's the last straw."
"Artie? You okay?" asked Noelle as she pushed him down the hallway.
"So many of them," said Artie terrified.
"Only five of them, Artie," said Noelle as she pushed him into the choir room.
"Oh my god! What happened?!" cried Rachel as she and the others saw Josh, Noelle and Artie covered in cherry slushies.
"The football team," said Noelle. "Need I say more?"
"That's it, come on guys we have to put an end to this!" said Finn as Will entered the room.
"What's going on?" asked Will.
"The football team crossed the line," said Puck. "They slushied Artie, Josh and Noelle. This is getting ridiculous Mr. Schue. They need to be stopped."
Quinn and Rachel were handing towels to the three as the rest of the guys stood up.
"Hey, sit down," said Will. "No one is going to be doing anything."
"But Karofsky's harassing has to stop," said Finn. "They're the reason Kurt left McKinley in the first place!"
"I'm going to have a meeting with Coach Bieste later," said Will. "I promise you, this harassment will end."
"Okay everyone sit down," said Coach Bieste later that afternoon as she ushered the football team into the choir room. "Now!"
The members of the New Directions sat on the opposite side of the room as the football players sat down in the chairs, grumbling.
"You guys got along so well during the musical, what the hell is wrong with you?" Coach Bieste asked Karofsky and the rest of the football team.
"Because they are a bunch of pansies and nerds," said Karofsky.
"Coach Bieste and I have decided the only way you guys are going to get along is if the football team joins Glee Club for a week," said Will.
"WHAT?!" everyone cried.
"No way!" cried Noelle.
"This is bull!" cried Puck.
"I will not share this choir room with a known homophobe!" exclaimed Rachel.
"These guys are the reason Kurt left and went to Dalton!" added Finn.
"You guys need to get along," said Coach Bieste. "We have the championship game on Friday. You are going to perform with the Glee Club at halftime. If you don't perform, you don't play."
"You can't do that!" said Karofsky.
"She just did," replied Noelle.
"Oh shut up," said another football player.
"Make me," replied Noelle.
"Okay, enough," said Will. "Noelle, Josh, you had something prepared for our original assignment, right?"
"Yes," said Noelle.
"Why don't you guys sing it and show these guys what Glee Club is really about?" asked Will. Josh and Noelle nodded and Noelle sat at the piano and started to play the opening chords to Lady Antebellum's "Need You Now".
Noelle:
Picture perfect memories scattered all around the floor
Reaching for the phone 'cause I can't fight it anymore
Noelle and Josh: And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
Noelle:
For me it happens all the time
Noelle and Josh:
It's a quarter after one
I'm all alone and I need you now
Said I wouldn't call, but I've lost all control and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without, I just need you now
Josh:
Another shot of whiskey, can't stop looking at the door
Wishing you'd come sweeping in the way you did before
Noelle and Josh:
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
Josh:
For me it happens all the time
Noelle and Josh:
It's a quarter after one
I'm a little drunk and I need you now
Said I wouldn't call, but I've lost all control and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without, I just need you now
Josh (Noelle):
Whoa, whoa (Whoa)
Noelle and Josh:
Guess I'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all
Noelle:
It's a quarter after one
I'm all alone and I need you now
Josh:
And I said I wouldn't call, but I'm a little drunk and I need you now; And I..
Noelle and Josh:
Don't know how I can do without, I just need you now
Josh:
Oh baby, I need you now...
The glee club, Will and Coach Bieste clapped in applause, along with a couple of the other football players. They stopped when Karofsky glared at them.
"Well that was lame and pointless," said Karofsky, getting up. "I'm outta here." As he got up and walked out of the glee club, the other non-glee club football players with the exception of a couple of Josh and Finn's friends got up and walked out as well.
"Great, there goes the game," said Puck, kicking a chair. "That leaves us with eight members on the team."
"I'll try to talk to them," said one of the other football players. "And you guys, I'm sorry for how I've behaved. Not anymore."
"Thanks Ryan," said Finn, shaking his and the other guy's hands. "You too, Aaron."
"No problem," said Ryan. "Come on dude, let's go see if we can re-convince them."
Aaron and Ryan couldn't convince the rest of the football team to dress up as zombies for the half-time show on Friday. The football team was now down to eight members.
"What are we going to do?" asked Finn. "How are we supposed to play this game if we don't have eleven members?"
"I think I can answer that, big brother," said Noelle as she, Rachel, Tina and Mercedes walked in. "We talked to Coach Bieste and Mom and Dad gave me permission, and Rachel, Tina and Mercedes' folks gave theirs, and you are now looking at the four newest members of the McKinley Titans Football team."
"What?" exclaimed the rest of the New Directions.
"No way, Noelle," said Finn. "I will not let you danger yourself out there. Same goes for you Rach."
"We took a vote and we wanted to support our boyfriends by joining the team," said Rachel. "No way would we let you guys lose the biggest game of your life."
"All we have to do when the ball's snapped is lie on the ground," said Tina.
"And Finn, believe it or not, my physical therapist said it would be good for me," said Noelle. "He cleared me to be a running back."
"You can't be serious!" said Puck.
"And I've got more bad news," said Quinn as she walked in with Beth in her arms, Brittney and Santana in tow. "Coach Sylvester got the regional cheerleader championships moved up to Friday."
"What?" cried Finn. "She can't do that!"
"Well, she did," said Santana. "She has this crazy idea to shoot Brittney out of a cannon."
"I don't wanna die," said Brittney.
"The school board wasn't happy to hear about her plans to shoot Brittney out of this cannon so she got the competition moved up so she can get away with it," said Quinn as she handed Beth to Puck.
"And what are you three planning to do?" asked Will.
"We quit Cheerios when we heard what Coach had done," said Quinn. "She's livid. Expect her to be on a rampage all week."
"I don't suppose you girls want to help us out with the football team, do you?" asked Noelle.
"Well, we'll be cheerleaders for you guys," said Quinn.
"I'm not too keen on getting tackled," said Santana.
"I don't wanna die," Brittney repeated again.
"You're not going to die, Britt, we quit Cheerios, remember?" asked Santana.
"But what if Coach makes me come back?" asked Brittney.
"We won't let that happen," said Will. "Alright everyone, let's get to work."
Game night had arrived. Coach Sylvester had gone on a rampage all week. Finn stood on the sidelines stretching as the other guys on the football team stood next to him in their street clothes.
"It's not too late," said Finn.
"And commit social suicide?" asked Karofsky. "How the hell are you going to play with eight guys?"
A loud roar from the crowd got their attention and the boys turned to see Noelle, Rachel, Mercedes and Tina walk across the field in football uniforms. Rachel had three gold stars on her helmet, the number one across her chest. Noelle was number 79, Mercedes was 71, and Tina was number eight.
"You have got to be kidding me," said Karofsky as they took in the sight of the four girls.
"What the hell are they doing?" asked one of the other guys.
"What you don't have the balls to do," replied Finn with a smile as he walked away from them and headed towards the girls.
"Alright!" cheered Tina as Finn, Sam, Mike and Josh came up to them, Puck pushing Artie and Aaron and Ryan joined them, cheering. Santana, Brittney and Quinn cheered from the sidelines.
"You guys ready to do this?" asked Finn to his baby sister. Noelle, her purple bandana around her head and her hair braided in pigtails, took her mouth guard out.
"Let's kick some ass!" said Noelle.
"Just be careful, okay?" Finn asked.
"Finn, I can handle these dudes," said Noelle, pointing to the back of her jersey. Finn laughed as he read the word, "Supergirl" on the back of her jersey. "Just get me the ball."
"Right," said Finn as they got ready for kickoff. "If you catch it, try to get to the forty yard line."
"Ay ay, captain!" said Noelle, saluting him. Josh came up to Noelle as Finn went to review a few things with Rachel, Tina and Mercedes.
"You going to be okay to do this?" asked Josh.
"Please," scoffed Noelle. "Believe it or not, Finn and I used to play football in grade school before I couldn't walk. I still got some moves left, Babe. Just make sure you and Puck cover me when I get the ball."
"Whatever you say," said Josh with a salute. Everyone lined up for the kickoff, Noelle and Sam in the endzone to wait for the ball. Artie sat on the sidelines with Coach Bieste as the twelfth man, helping her out with strategies.
"Oh I hope Noelle knows what she's doing," murmured Carole from the stands as she sat next to Burt, Judy (who was holding Beth), and Kurt and Blaine, who had come to support the group.
"Carole, you heard her therapist," said Burt. "She's ready for this. The therapist and the doctor both said that Noelle could run circles around those guys now her back is straightened out."
"I'm going to start calling her Forrest Gump," quipped Kurt, earning a laugh from Judy and Burt. Carole scowled.
"Think we should go down there and help them at halftime?" Blaine asked Kurt.
"Would be fun," said Kurt. "I'll go ask Mr. Schue." As Kurt was about to leave, the football was kicked off by the opposing team and Kurt stopped.
"Oh my god!" said Kurt. "Noelle's going to get the ball!"
Sure enough, the ball was kicked in Noelle's direction. She caught it at the fifteen yard line and took off down the field to cheers from the crowd. Puck and Josh both blocked two guys and Noelle zoomed past the twenty-five yard line and kept going, leaving the others in a trail of dust.
"Holy shit!" said Finn as everyone, including the opposing team, watched Noelle score a return touchdown in under nine seconds. As Noelle crossed the line to score the touchdown, the stadium erupted in cheers. Carole, Burt, Judy, Kurt and Blaine were jumping up and down hysterically. The opposing team's coach stood dumbfounded on the sidelines, amazed that a girl just zoomed past his rather large players.
"That's my baby girl!" cried Burt, earning a few congratulations from some of the other parents around them. Not only did Noelle break the school record for longest touchdown, she had just become the first girl in school history to even score a point. Finn and the others ran over to her and cheered and they set up for the extra point. Josh kicked the ball up and the extra point was good.
"Told ya I was Supergirl," said Noelle as her and Finn got ready to kick the ball back to the opposing team. Josh was setting the ball up on the stand.
"Just try to block the wide recievers, okay?" asked Finn to Noelle. "The rest of you girls just stand in the back and try to not get hit. We'll take care of the return."
"You got it Frankenteen," said Mercedes, saluting him. Josh raised his arm in the air, ready to kick off as the others lined up.
"Let's do this you guys," said Josh.
At halftime, the score was McKinley 42, the opponent 6. Noelle and Finn were truly the stars of the game so far. Noelle had even dumbfounded herself when she had caused the opposing team's quarterback to fumble the snap and she had picked up the ball and gone into the endzone for their sixth touchdown and her fourth. Puck had managed to convince the rest of the football team to come back for the halftime show and the second half with the exception of Karofsky. The marching band got ready to play as the football team and the New Directions stood on the field in their Zombie getup, ready to perform an epic mashup of "Thriller" and "Head Will Roll".

As they ended the number, the crowd roared. Karofsky had come to his senses midway through the number and joined the performance, earning a clap on the back from Finn. The girls stood on the sidelines to let the football team finish the game and become temporary cheerleaders with Santana, Brittney and Quinn. Several people had come up and congratulated Noelle for her success in the first half of the game. Even Coach Bieste had told Noelle that she could stay on the team but Noelle declined, saying she was just out there to have fun and show her school spirit and help her brother and friends win a championship. The final whistle of the game was a touchdown scored by Finn as the clock ran down to zero. The final score was McKinley 63, their opponent 12. McKinley had won the championship game! Everyone raced on to the field, Josh and Puck lifting Noelle on their shoulders and handing her the game ball. Sam held the trophy high above his head as Finn and Rachel started making out. Josh and Puck set Noelle down as Carole, Burt, Kurt and Blaine rushed over to the group.
"We're so proud of you, baby girl," said Burt, pulling Noelle into a hug.
"I think I'm going to join the track team in the spring," said Noelle. "Did you see how fast I ran?"
"You were flying!" said Blaine, hugging Noelle.
"Mom, we're going to have a party at our house to celebrate, is that okay?" asked Finn as he came up to the group.
"That's fine," said Carole.
"I'll take Beth for the night," said Judy to Puck and Quinn as she held a fussy Beth. "You two go have fun."
"We'll pick her up tomorrow morning," said Quinn. "Thanks Mom." Quinn leaned over and kissed Beth's cheek. "Be good for Grammie, sweetie."
A week later, the group was ready to host sectionals at McKinley. It was the Warblers, the New Directions, and a group called The Hipsters, comprised of a group of senior citizens. When Monday had rolled around, the New Directions had learned that the Cheerios had lost at regionals for the first time in seven years. Coach Sylvester was not a happy camper and was now the laughing stock of the cheerleading world. She had been named "Loser of the Year" by Katie Couric, while to Will and the New Directions' pure and utter joy, Noelle had won MVP of the year by the Ohio High School Athletic Association for her performance at the State Championship, despite the fact that she had only been on the football team temporarily.
The Hipsters went first. They weren't bad, but they weren't great either. Then Kurt, Blaine and the Warblers went second. They did very well much to Finn's chagrin. He was glad his step-brother was in a safe place, but he knew Kurt wasn't happy at Dalton and missed his friends.
The New Directions were last as the reigning Sectionals champions and had two numbers to perform. Will decided to switch up the set list and gave Puck and Quinn the ballad. Santana was going to perform a solo while showcasing Brittney and Mike's dancing again.
"Ready babe?" Puck asked Quinn as they stood, waiting to perform.
"I think so," said Quinn. "Remember last year?"
"Yeah, hard to believe how fast this year has gone by. Beth's first birthday is coming up in a few months," added Puck. "I love you."
"I love you too, Puckerman," said Quinn with a smile, kissing him gently.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome our final competitors of the night, from Lima's McKinley High and your reigning sectionals champs, please give it up for the New Directions!"
The music started as the audience applause and Puck appeared at the top of the stairs.
New Direction Girls:
Oooo...
Puck with New Directions harmonizing:
Now I've,
Had the time of my life
No, I've never felt like this before
Yes, I swear, it's the truth
And I owe it all to you

As we felt this magical fantasy (Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah-ah)
Quinn and Puck (New Directions Girls):

There's no way we could disguise it secretly (Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah-ah)
So we take each other's hand,
'Cause we seem to understand the urgency (Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah-ah) (Quinn: Ohh)

No, I never felt this way before (New Directions: Never felt this way)
Yes, I swear, It's the truth
And I owe it all to you
Puck:
Hey, baby!
Quinn (New Directions Girls):
Hey, baby!
With my body and soul,
I want you more than you'll ever know (Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah-ah)
Puck (with New Directions Boys):
So we'll (just let it go)
(Don't be afraid to lose control), no (New Directions Girls: Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah-ah)
Quinn (with New Directions Girls):
Yes I know what's on your mind
When you say,
("Stay with me tonight") (Puck: Stay with me!)
Puck (with New Directions Boys):
Just remember!
(You're the one thing,)
Quinn with New Directions Girls:
I can't get enough of (New Directions: I can't get enough of)
Puck with New Directions Boys:

'Cause I've had the time of my life, (Puck: Had time of my life!)
And I've searched through (with Mercedes: every open door) (New Directions: Every open door)
Quinn and Puck with New Directions:
'Til I found (Santana: 'Til I found!)
The truth (Mercedes: The truth)
And I owe it all to (with Santana and Mercedes: you!)
Mercedes and Santana with New Directions:
Oh woah, woah, woah, woah, woah!
Puck (Quinn):
Now I've (I've) had (New Directions: Oooo...)
Quinn and Puck :
The time of my life
The audience roared with cheers and applause as Santana got ready to perform "Valerie".
Santana (New Directions Girls):
Well, sometimes I go out by myself
And I look across the water (Uh, uh, uh, uh-uh, uh, uh, uh, uh-uh)
And I think of all the things, what you're doin'
And in my head I paint a picture (Uh, uh, uh, uh-uh, uh, uh, uh, uh-uh)

Santana (New Directions Girls):

Put your house on up for sale
Did you get a good lawyer-e-er? (Uh, uh, uh, uh-uh, uh, uh, uh, uh-uh) (New Directions: Lawyer-e-er)
I hope you didn't catch a tan (Uh, uh, uh, uh-uh, uh, uh, uh, uh-uh)
I hope you find the right man who'll fix it for you (New Directions: Who'll fix it for you)
Now are you shopping anywhere (Uh, uh, uh, uh-uh, uh, uh, uh, uh-uh)
Changed the color of your hair (Uh, uh, uh, uh-uh, uh, uh, uh, uh-uh)

Are you still dizzy-y-y? (New Directions: Are you still dizzy, dizzy, dizzy?)

Santana with New Directions:
Why don't you come on over Valerie?
As the song ended, the crowd roared with more cheers and applause.
A little while later, the New Directions stood on stage with the Warblers and the Hipsters as the judge, some guy from the Ohio BMV headquarters, droned on about being an organ donor.
"And now for the results," said the judge. "In third place, the Hipsters!"
The audience clapped as one of the older ladies took the third place trophy.
"And moving on to regionals in Marion is," started the judge, "it's a tie! Congratulations, you're both going to Regionals!" He congratulated the Warblers and the New Directions and handed Blaine one trophy and Will another.
"Well, this is going to be interesting," said Noelle to Kurt as they hugged.
