Chapter 45: Getting Ready
After Sunshine had performed her audition song, and Mr. Schuster had accepted her into the Glee Club, then he announced that everybody was to come back to the auditorium on Monday, so that they could continue preparing for the showcase. However the Glee Club members had already begun preparing during the weekend on their own. Brittany had been practicing her own choreography for her Britney Spears song; Circus, she had to admit that she was disappointed that Santana declined her offer to help her with memorizing the lyrics to the song. But Santana had explained to Brittany that she had to prepare for helping Sam with his duet with her, so Brittany understood why Santana was unable to work with her for right now. Though she had to admit; the fact that Sam was getting to be with Santana right now instead of it being her with Santana, made something inside of her very irritated, or rather; she was feeling very possessive about Santana.
Elsewhere; Ryder was in his bedroom with Finn helping him to memorize the lyrics to his song that he was going to sing; Beautiful Soul by Jesse McCartney. "Ugh. Why is it that memorizing all these lyrics is so freakin' hard!" He partially yelled, partially asked nobody in particular. "Hey man, don't sweat it. It's not like the showcase is tomorrow, you look like you could use a break. Why don't you lie down and relax for a bit okay?" Finn suggested to Ryder. "Yeah, yeah, I guess so. Thanks so much Finn." Ryder said with a thankful tone in his voice. With that, Ryder walked over to his bed and flopped down on his stomach, and proceeded to fall asleep for a nap. Finn looked at the blonde teenager with a smile on his face and proceeded to ruffle his hand through Ryder's hair. "You are going to need your strength Ryder, so rest up." Finn said quietly to Ryder, then he got up and went to his backpack to get his iPhone, and proceeded to put on some music to listen to while Ryder took his nap.
Meanwhile outside of the Lima Bean Café, Santana and Sam were working on their duet; No Air by Jordin Sparks. "Just like when you first came to terms you had feelings for Bowtie isn't Trouty?" Santana asked with a smile on her face at how calm Sam was, he needed a break from all the stress in his life. "Yeah, it does. So I suppose we should get started on learning the song." Sam suggested to Santana. She simply nodded to him and started to work on the song with her ex-boyfriend.
On the other side of town, "Dude, what happened to make you hook up with that dude Ryder instead of that awesome, hot chick you were with; Marley?" Puck questioned his little brother. Jake merely sighed and decided to give Puck an explanation. "Well you see Noah, I have always liked Ryder. I mean he was cool and an awesome bro, but as time went on; we got to know each other and then one day; Ryder and Sam were talking about stuff and I walked over to them to see what they were talking about. Anyways; Sam left Ryder and I alone; soon after, I was talking to Ryder about just bro stuff, then he all of a sudden is kissing me. Have to admit, he can do wonders with that mouth of his…" Jake finished with a look that said he was remembering a really, REALLY good time with Ryder. "WHOA! Okay, okay! Don't need the images little bro." Puck immediately threw his hands up to his head like he was trying to protect himself from something. Jake merely laughed at Puck, and both boys continued chatting about different things.
In Brittany's bedroom; Brittany had finally finished her choreography for her song and was about to go feed her tummy when she heard her cell phone ring. Brittany picked it up and noticed that it was Sunshine calling her.
"Hey Sunshine, what do you need?" Brittany asked curiously.
"Hey Brittany, listen me and the other girls in Glee Club were wondering if you could come and meet us at the Lima Mall, we all need to get together to practice for our all-girl numbers for the showcase; Edge of Glory, Buttons, Wings and Want U Back. So we were hoping that we could all get together and go somewhere to start practicing the choreography." Sunshine explained to Brittany.
"Sure thing, is Santana going to be able to make it?" Brittany asked the other girl.
"Don't worry Britt, I'll be able to make it!" yelled a very loud voice, who Brittany could only guess was Santana somewhere close by Sunshine.
The girls both agreed to meet up at the mall in a half an hour, and Brittany had informed her mother that she was going to be heading out to practice with her friends. The guys of Glee Club had a similar idea and were all going to meet at Blaine's house and learn their collective number; Sexyback, and the other all-male numbers; Low, and One More Night.
