6x11 We Built This Glee Club
Noelle sighed as she walked out of her room and into the kitchen. Josh went back to Nashville, his fall break over. Puck and Quinn had also returned to New York with Beth and Alex, and Mike and Artie had gone back to their classes. It was up to Rachel, Sam, Mercedes, Kurt, Blaine, Will and Noelle to lead the Glee Club to victory at Sectionals. Jesse was even offering to help with the choreography.
"Good morning Sweetheart." said Carole, setting a plate of pancakes down in front of her. "Sleep well?"
"Yeah, just missing Josh," said Noelle. "Did Rachel stay over at Jesse's?"
"No, Jesse stayed here," said Carole. "The kids are all up in the nursery."
"Did someone say my name?" asked Jesse as he walked into the kitchen.
"Morning Jesse, yeah, I was just wondering if Rachel and the kids had gone to your place," said Noelle.
"Actually, Rachel and I were up talking last night, and Rachel and I have decided to move back to New York after sectionals," said Jesse.
"Really?" asked Noelle excitedly. Jesse nodded.
"I got offered a part in a musical," said Jesse. "Rehearsals start in a month."
"That's great! Congratulations!" said Carole and Noelle.
"Rachel is going to go back to NYU, she called Dean Winters last night and he agreed to let her come back," said Jesse. "He's felt so horrible about everything that has happened."
"I've been meaning to call him," said Noelle. "He called me a few weeks ago, asking if I would come in and teach a seminar on Composition and Songwriting. I told him I was just really busy trying to get the New Directions back on their feet but I would do it when I had enough free time."
"Do I smell bacon?" asked Burt as he walked into the kitchen.
"No Dad, no Bacon," scolded Noelle. "Remember what the doc said about your cholesterol."
"Yeah, I know," said Burt as Carole set a bowl of oatmeal and wheat toast in front of him. "The test results should come back soon."
"If anything, I'll just be happy to know it's nothing serious," said Noelle.
"Good morning everyone!" said Rachel as she, Kurt and Blaine wandered in with the Finchel Four, Ethan and Ella. The three smaller kids were placed in their high chairs while Ethan, William and Reagan sat in their chairs. Noelle smiled as Rachel bent over and kissed Jesse good morning.
"Morning, did you tell them?" Rachel asked Jesse as she sat in his lap and he fed her a piece of pancake.
"Just Carole and Noelle," said Jesse.
"Wait, tell us what?" asked Burt as Blaine and Kurt looked confused.
"Jesse and I are moving with the kids to New York after Sectionals!" said Rachel.
"What?" Kurt replied breathlessly.
"I got offered a part in a new musical and Rachel and I talked it over and she wants to go with me," said Jesse.
"That's great! Congrats Dude!" said Blaine, shaking Jesse's hand.
"So when's the wedding?" teased Noelle. Jesse laughed as Rachel blushed.
"Depends on when someone asks me," Rachel teased back and everyone laughed.
"Maybe if you're a good girl, Santa might make that wish come true," Jesse murmured into her ear. "Christmas is only a month away, you know."
Rachel giggled and kissed Jesse again, to the groans of Noelle, Kurt, and Blaine.
"Please, there are children around," said Kurt. "Get a room."
"Okay," Rachel teased, hopping off of Jesse's lap and dragging him out of the room.
"OY! Don't take too long, we have morning rehearsals in an hour and a half!" Noelle called to them. She turned to Burt and Carole, who had different looks on their faces. Carole's was a look of happiness while Burt seemed to be shocked.
"Mom, Dad, I hope you want a lot of grandkids," snarked Noelle as Kurt and Blaine laughed.
"Yeah, when are YOU working on that?" Burt teased. Noelle blushed.
"Actually, I haven't told Josh yet, but I think I might be," muttered Noelle. Everyone gasped.
"What? Have you taken a test or anything?" Carole asked, putting a hand on Noelle's shoulder. Noelle shook her head.
"No, I don't really trust those home tests," said Noelle. "I've already had two scares. And I just keep thinking back to Junior year, and it scares me that something like that will happen again. But I called and made an appointment with Dr. Chin for this afternoon. I'll know then."
"We'll help you out anyway we can, Kiddo," said Burt, hugging Noelle. "You know that."
"Okay guys, we only have a few days left until Sectionals," said Will as the group gathered later that morning in the choir room. "And I have a few announcements to make. After Sectionals, Rachel, Jesse, Kurt and Blaine are heading back to New York, and Noelle is returning to Nashville. Superintendent Harris and I have talked and he has asked me to take over the New Directions again."
"That's great!" said Mason and Madison.
"Welcome back, Mr. Schue," said Marley.
"Also, I received word that there will be a third group to replace the empty spot left by the Warblers," said Will. "The third group joining us and Vocal Adrenaline is The Falconers from John James Audubon Institute for Rehabilitative Ornithology. They rehabilitate injured falcons and perform with them."
"Creepy," muttered Kitty.
"Lastly, as most of you know, the Principal position is still unfilled, and Superintendent Harris said that he is going to talk to the school board about hiring me as Principal."
"Are you serious?" asked Kurt as the group gasped.
"There's one catch," said Will. "If the New Directions lose, there is a chance that McKinley may shut down because of the lack of funding."
"This is a public school, they can't do that!" argued Noelle.
"I need art to live!" cried Myron. "I don't want to go back to that ridiculous joke of a middle school!"
"Don't worry, I'm confident enough in you guys," said Will. "Which means we are going to have to work extra hard. So here's what we're going to do."
Noelle sat in the waiting room at Dr. Chin's office later that afternoon. Thankfully, it was empty except for the receptionist. Noelle browsed through the latest US Weekly, curious to know if she was in it. Sure enough, on page twelve, there was an article on her and Josh. Noelle scowled. At least it was one of those True or False articles.
Are Noelle Hudson-Koontz and Her Husband Separating? FALSE!
Rumors are swirling that country superstar Noelle Hudson-Koontz and her husband Josh are separating but we can officially deny those rumors! Josh and Noelle have been going back and forth from Nashville to their hometown of Lima, Ohio to help reboot their high school show choir the National Champions the New Directions and also to help Noelle's sister-in-law, Broadway sensation Rachel Berry-Hudson raise her four children. They also recently testified in the Sue Sylvester trial last week. Sue Sylvester was found guilty of murdering Noelle's older brother Finn and injuring Noelle in a conspiracy hire-for-murder. NO word on when Noelle will return to Nashville but we can expect her new album out soon!
"Noelle?" Noelle looked up to see the nurse poking her head out the door.
"Yes?" Noelle asked.
"Come on back, Dr. Chin will see you now," said the nurse. Noelle set the magazine down and followed the nurse back into an exam room. The nurse handed Noelle a cup and directed her to the bathroom.
"I'm sure you know the drill," said the nurse.
"Yeah, thanks," said Noelle.
"Hopefully it's good news, right?" the nurse asked. Noelle nodded.
"Okay, when you're done just leave it in the little slot and then change into a gown," said the nurse.
After Noelle peed in the cup, placed it in the lab door, and changed into a gown, she got up on the exam table and sighed. A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in," said Noelle.
"Hi Noelle, how are you?" asked Dr. Chin as he poked his head in. "How's the Finchel Four?"
"I'm good, and they're getting bigger every day," said Noelle. "Rachel's dating again, and it's pretty serious. It's someone we briefly went to school with. He has two kids of his own from his first marriage and he is a widower just as Rachel is a Widow."
"Sounds very Brady Bunch-ish," said Dr. Chin. "Anyways, let me be the first to say Congratulations. Your suspicions were correct. You're pregnant!"
"I figured, nothing else made sense," said Noelle with a smile.
"Let's take a look and see how far along you are," said Dr. Chin with a smile.
"What's SHE doing here?!" hissed Noelle in fear as the group waited for Sectionals to begin a few days later. "She's supposed to be in jail!" Noelle hadn't told anyone yet that she was pregnant, despite everyone's constant pestering. She told them that she wanted to tell Josh first and then they would tell the group together.
"The judge suspended her jail time, she's got an ankle bracelet on, and she's doing community service," said Will with a gloomy look on his face as the group saw Sue Sylvester standing with Vocal Adrenaline. "If she screws up, she'll go to jail sooner. Notice there's a guard with her."
"But she's coaching Vocal Adrenaline?!" Rachel squeaked in horror. "Oh, we're gonna kick their ass. Remember the last time she tried coaching a Glee Club?"
"Well, keep your fingers crossed," said Jesse. "I spied on them the other night and they are really good."
"Hey, Northwest Ohio, are you ready for sectionals?" came the announcer's voice. "Let's meet our distinguished judges. First, it's Ohio's favorite vice comptroller, Donna Landries!"
"My glaucoma!" cried Donna as the spotlight shone on her.
"Now give it up for WOHN News 8 anchorman, Rod Remington! And last but not least, raise the roof for the Westminster Kennel Club's 2014 Trainer of the Year, Butch Melman and her champion standard poodle, Trixie. Kicking off our show, from the John James Audubon Institute for Rehabilitative Ornithology, the Falconers!"
The group performed "Broken Wings" and Noelle rolled her eyes as the performance ended.
"How about those birds? And now from Carmel High, it's the incomparable Vocal Adrenaline!"
Vocal Adrenaline: We built this city
We built this city on rock and roll
Built this city
We built this city
On rock and roll
Say you don't know me
Or recognize my face
Say you don't care who goes
To that kind of place
Marconi plays the mamba
Listen to the radio
Don't you remember
We built this city
We built this city or rock and roll
We built this city
Oh, oh, oh
We built this city on rock and roll
Built this city
Oh, oh, oh
We built this city on rock and roll
Built this city
Oh, oh, oh
We built this city on rock and roll
Built this city
Oh, oh, oh
We built this city on rock and roll
We built this city.
The crowd cheered and clapped and Vocal Adrenaline began their next song.
Vocal Adrenaline Girls: Oh, Mickey, you're so fine
You're so fine you blow my mind
Hey, Mickey
Hey, Mickey
Oh, Mickey, you're so fine
You're so fine you blow my mind, hey, Mickey
Oh, Mickey, what a pity you don't understand
You take me by the heart when you take me by the hand
Oh, Mickey, you're so pretty, can't you understand?
It's guys like you, Mickey
Guys like you
Oh, what you do, Mickey, do, Mickey
Don't break my heart, Mickey, hey, Mickey
Now when you take me by the, who's ever gonna know?
Every time you move, I let a little more show
There's something you can use
So don't say no, Mickey
Oh, Mickey, what a pity you don't understand

Oh, what you do, Mickey, do, Mickey
Don't break my heart, Mickey
Oh, Mickey, you're so fine
You're so fine, you blow my mind Hey, Mickey!
"All right, I am going to murder this," said Myron backstage as he changed into a costume. "There will be weeping."
"All right, everybody, let's circle up!" said Will. "Welcome to the most sacred of the New Directions traditions. The show circle."
"And now the pep talk," said Kitty.
"Yes, yes, that is next," said Will. "But tonight, it's not my place. We are all here because of Rachel, Kurt, Blaine, and Noelle. Guys, the floor is yours."
"Well, okay," said Rachel as Noelle nodded to her. "Um, a couple of months ago, I crawled into this choir room with a mission. A selfish one. My life was just not the same after Finn died. I needed you guys to help me get my groove back. And, well, it came true. Now the world is opening up to me, and the best part is, is that in this moment, I don't care. All that matters to me is you guys and the strength of this circle that we've created. So go out there and enjoy it."
"Enjoy the-the lights and-and the applause and-and the cheers, because you guys have earned it," added Noelle. "And I know we all know that this could be the last time that the New Directions performs together, so as a member of the old guard, I just want to say that we all couldn't be more proud that you guys are the ones bringing us home."
"All right, guys, everyone's hands in," said Blaine. The group gathered and put their hands in the middle and did their signature cheer.
"Amazing!" cried the group.
"And now, from your very own William McKinley High, the New Directions!"
Roderick:
My lover's got humour
She's the giggle at a funeral
Knows everybody's disapproval
I should've worshipped her sooner
If the heavens ever did speak
She's the last true mouthpiece
Every Sunday's getting more bleak
A fresh poison each week
We were born sick
You heard them say it
My church offers no absolutes
She tells me "Worship in the bedroom"
The only heaven I'll be sent to
Is when I'm alone with you
Roderick with Jane (and New Directions):
I was born sick
But I love it
(Command me to be well)
Roderick:
Aay, amen, amen, amen
Roderick and Skylar with New Directions:
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
Roderick and Skylar with Jane and New Directions:
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
Skylar:
If I'm a pagan of the good times
My lover's the sunlight
To keep the goddess on my side
She demands a sacrifice
Roderick with Kitty:
Drain the whole sea
Get something shiny
Kitty:
Something meaty for the main course
Skylar:
That's a fine looking high horse
Jane:
What you got in the stable?
Roderick:
We've a lot of starving faithful
Roderick with Kitty:
That looks tasty
That looks plenty
This is hungry work
Roderick with Kitty and New Directions:
Take me to church (Skylar:Take me to church)
Roderick and Skylar with New Directions:
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins, so you can sharpen your knife
Offer me my deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
Roderick and Skylar with Kitty and New Directions:
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins, so you can sharpen your knife
Offer me my deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
Skylar with Jane:
No masters or kings
When the ritual begins
There is no sweeter innocence
Than our gentle sin
Roderick with Kitty:
In the madness and soil of
That sad earthly scene
Only then I am human
Only then I am clean
Roderick:
Oh, oh
Amen, amen, amen
Roderick with Jane and New Directions:
Take me to church
Roderick with Skylar and New Directions (Jane):
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies (Woah)
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife (Yeah)
Offer me that deathless death
Good god, let me give you my life (Let me give you my life)
Roderick with Skylar, Kitty and New Directions (and Jane):
Take me to church
I'll worship (like a dog at the shrine of your lies)
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good god, let me give you my life
New Directions:
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
The crowd cheered and clapped as they started to sing the next song.
Madison:
Party girls don't get hurt
Can't feel anything, when will I learn?
I push it down, push it down
Kitty:
I'm the one for a good time call
Phone's blowin' up, ringin' my doorbell
I feel the love, feel the love
To everyone's shock, Myron came out dressed like Maddie Ziegler in the Chandelier video and Noelle and Rachel laughed. Donna Landries did not seem impressed and was horrified that this little boy was cross-dressing.
Madison with Jane, Kitty, and New Directions:
One, two, three
One, two, three, drink
One, two, three
One, two, three, drink
One, two, three
One, two, three, drink
Jane with Kitty and New Directions:
Throw 'em back, till I lose count
Madison with New Directions:
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier
I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist, like it doesn't exist
I'm gonna fly like a bird through the night, feel my tears as they dry
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier
Jane with Kitty and New Directions:
And I'm holding on for dear life
Won't look down, won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light
Cause I'm just holding on for tonight
Help me, I'm holding on for dear life
Won't look down, won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light
Cause I'm just holding on for tonight, on for tonight
And then to everyone's surprise, Spencer, who had sprained his ankle a few hours before practicing the dances, came swinging out on a chandelier and the crowd roared with approval.
Jane with Kitty and New Directions (Madison):
And I'm holding on for dear life (Ooh)
Won't look down, won't open my eyes (Woah)
Keep my glass full (with Madison: until morning light)
Cause I'm just holding (with Madison: on for tonight)
Cause (Oh) (and Madison: I'm just holding on for tonight)
Oh, I'm just holding on for tonight (Oh-oh, oh)
On for tonight, on for tonight (I'm holding on, holding on)
Cause I'm just holding on for tonight (Yeah, yeah)
Cause I'm just holding on for tonight
Oh, I'm just holding on for tonight (Ooh)
On for tonight
Jane and Madison with Kitty and New Directions:
On for tonight
The crowd cheered and roared with approval as the song ended. Spencer rejoined the group with his crutches and Ryder closed out the set with a Styx classic.
Ryder:
I'm sailing away
Set an open course for the virgin sea
Cause I've got to be free
Free to face the life that's ahead of me
Ryder and Marley:
On board I'm the captain
So climb aboard
We'll search for tomorrow
On every shore
And I'll try
Ryder:
Oh, lord, I'll try
Marley:
Oh, lord, I'll try
Ryder with Marley and New Directions:
To carry on
Jake and Kitty:
A gathering of angels
Appeared above my head
They sang to me this song of hope
And this is what they said
They said
New Directions:
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me (Ryder: Let's)
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me (Ryder: Baby)
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Jake and Kitty:
I thought that they were angels
But to my surprise
We climbed aboard their starship
We headed for (Kitty with New Directions: the skies)
Ryder:
Singing
New Directions (Unique):
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me (Mason: Let's)
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away (Oh)
Come sail away
Come sail away with me (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Come sail away
Come sail away (Wooh)
Come sail away with me (Sail away with me)
Come sail away
Come sail away (Yeah, yeah)
Come sail away with me (Sail away with me)
Come sail away (Woah)
Come sail away
Come sail away with me
Can I just say, I can't believe I got roped into doing this thing again What has got to be the lowest form of entertainment ever known to mankind" said Donna Landries a short while later as the judges gathered in a classroom to judge. "So when I got the call this morning, I'm like, "Okay, Donna Landries, just calm down. These groups cannot be worse than the last time. And then they were. I don't know which group I hated more. The Vocal Adrenalines were like that was like sitting through Fallujah. You gonna point a cannon at me? Hell no! And what's up with this bird school? I-Is that a public school? Is that where my taxpayer dollars are going? And don't start me on New Directions! Oh!"
Now, Donna, I'm gonna stop you right there," said Rod Remington. "They might not be able to dance or sing, but when it comes to New Directions! Of the female persuasion, ooh. I mean, how about that smoking gal going Au natural with the Pam Grier Afro? Sister's got it going on. She got me hankering for a piping hot cup o' cocoa."
"What the hell did you just say to me?" Donna replied.
"Technically, I'm not even supposed to be judging. The invitation was addressed to Trixie, so really it's up to the dog," said Butch.
The dog barked at Donna, who jumped.
"Sorry, Trixie's not racist," Butch continued. "Like all dogs, he sees in black and white, and darker skin makes it harder for him to make out facial features."
"Wait, this dog is a dude?" asked Donna.
"He sure is," replid Butch. "And that maleness might just give us an indication as to how he's gonna vote." Butch pulled out a clicker. "Now, Trixie." Butch clicked the clicker. "Trixie, Trixie, which glee club displayed more 'performativity'?" Trixie put his paw on the Vocal Adrenaline card. "Good boy!"
"Are you out of your mind? That was the worst music I've ever heard," said Donna. "There's not a single person on Earth who woke up this morning and said, 'You know what song I just really need to hear today?' 'Hey, Mickey'. And by the time fatty was singing 'Take Me to the Church,' I'm like, 'Okay, provided the service we attend is my funeral."
"Well, I thought I knew which show choir had my vote," said Rod. "But as I scour the depths of my soul, I now realize I have deep reservations about sending them to Regionals."
"Well, can we just vote, please? I got piles," said Donna.
"Before we get to announcing the winners, a quick message from our sponsor: Wayne's Waffle House is where to spend your Sundays," said the announcer as the judges stood on stage a moment later and the three groups stood waiting to hear the results. Rachel noticed that Noelle was looking green at the mention of waffles (something Noelle loved very much) and she smirked at Noelle and winked.
"I love waffles," said Kitty to Jake. "Let's go there tomorrow?"
"Deal," said Jake with a grin. It was their usual hangout and Kitty was glad to have her best guy friend back.
"And now, in third place," continued the announcer. "From the John James Audubon Institute for Rehabilitative Ornithology, the Falconers!"
The crowd applauded as the Falconers accepted their trophy And now it was the moment of truth.
"And now, without further ado the winner of this year's sectionals is," started the announcer, "THE NEW DIRECTIONS!" The crowd roared with approval as confetti flew and the New Directions celebrated their victory.
"Yes! We did it!" cried Myron. Will noticed out of the corner of his eye that Sue Sylvester was livid. He smirked at her evilly as Noelle handed him the trophy and he hoisted it high in the air.
On Monday, the group stood in the choir room, proudly admiring their sectionals trophy. Noelle was still looking a bit green and Rachel knew that Noelle was pregnant.
"I know you're pregnant," Rachel whispered to Noelle in the office.
"That obvious?" Noelle asked sheepishly. "You know I wanted to tell Josh first."
"Well considering just about everything you love to eat is making you turn as green as a seasick sailor, yeah it is," said Rachel as they headed back into the choir room.
"I'm gonna tell Josh next week after I go home," said Noelle. "That is, if I don't get sick cooking him dinner."
Rachel laughed and hugged Noelle.
"All right, the next first-place trophy in that case is gonna be regionals!" said Will excitedly as Mason and Madison placed the trophy in the case.
The group clapped and cheered.
"You know, someday five, ten, 20 years from now," started Noelle to the group, "you're gonna walk into this school and you're gonna see the trophies in that case or or maybe you'll be watching your own sons and daughters win their awards, and I hope you'll remember this time in your life, this incredible moment when a group of very different people put aside their differences, supported each other and formed a team, and hopefully made some lifelong friendships."
"Now, some of our advisors are gonna be leaving us, but no matter where we go, no matter where we are, we will always be here in spirit, and we will always be supporting you," said Sam.
"A chapter in Glee Club history may be ending, but it is just the beginning for all of you," added Rachel. "We could not be more proud of you."
"Congratulations you guys!" said Jesse.
"Hey, let's hear it for Rachel, Mr. Shue, Kurt and Blaine, Noelle, everybody!" said Roderick. Kitty noticed that Noelle and Rachel were eyeing the trophies sitting on top of the filing cabinets as everyone clapped and cheered.
"You know, our two little trophies look really pathetic in there all by themselves," said Kitty. "I vote we get the old ones and put them back in there with them."
Everyone murmured in agreement and soon, one by one, the old trophies were returned to their rightful place. The alumni and older students had flashbacks to when all of the trophies were won.
As Noelle placed her MVP trophies next to the 2012 Nationals trophy, she smiled and looked up to the ceiling, thinking about her big brother.
"I miss him," sighed Noelle as Rachel put a hand on her shoulder.
"Us too," said Blaine as the others joined them.
"Excuse me?" asked a voice. The group turned to see a delivery man wheel in several packages on a dolly. "I have a special delivery for the New Directions and their advisors."
"Ooh! I love presents!" said Myron excitedly as the group hurried over and took their respective packages. Will was cautious at first as the group sat with their packages and the delivery man left.
"The return label says GLAAD," said Noelle.
"Maybe they're gifts for hosting the trans choir," said Kurt.
"Wait, wait, wait!" shouted Will.
"Let's all open them on three!" said Madison.
"Oh, yeah!" said Mason.
"One, two, three!" said Spencer.
"NO!" cried Will. But it was too late. One by one, the packages started exploding confetti from them. Everyone was screaming in horror.
"Wait! Wait! Shhh!" cried Will as the confetti cannons stopped. Everyone could hear more ticking and they heard it coming from the piano.
"Take cover!" cried Will. Everyone screamed and ran away from the piano as it exploded. Confetti filled the air as the piano was blown in half.
"AHH! It's raining glitter!" screamed Myron fearfully as Jane consoled him.
"Is everyone okay?' Will asked. Everyone nodded.
"Who would do this?" asked Jane.
"There's only one person who would be obvious enough to send us confetti bombs," growled Noelle. "Sue Sylvester herself."
Will growled and rushed out of the room in anger, more than likely heading to the main office to call the prosecutor and tell him what Coach Sylvester had done.
"Please tell me that was insured," said Kurt in horror to Blaine, Rachel and Noelle as they stared at the now broken piano.
"Oh it's not," murmured Blaine. "But you have to admit, the glitter was really pretty."
"My piano," sobbed Noelle. "My beautiful piano!"
