New Directions: The Next Generation Chapter 3: The First Day, a glee fanfic

Summer passed and the first day of school finally came. And the kids weren't exactly too happy about that—especially since some of them were being forced to join glee club. They all knew it was going to be a very interesting year, and they weren't too excited for that.

~~Glee: The Next Generation! ~~

Taylor Ben Israel and Jeremy Ben Israel looked into the camera and nodded," This is Taylor and Jeremy Ben Israel, reporting to you live from McKinley high school. It's the first day and everyone's bummed out summer's over and I thought I'd ask some people how their summer went and what they have in store this year."

The two sophomores walked over to Grayson who rolled his eyes at seeing the two," Hello Grayson A.K.A the "Golden Boy" of McKinley." Taylor explained.

The red-haired twin grinned," So how was your summer Grayson?" Jeremy asked, putting the microphone onto Gray's mouth.

"Uh, it was okay I guess. I spent most of my time working out and playing sports and stuff." Grayson answered, flashing a smile to the camera. Oh how he loved the attention.

"That's amazing—you're amazing." Taylor answered dreamily, leaning closer to Grayson who slowly tried backing away from the girl.

"Y-yeah, I guess so." The golden boy answered uneasily.

"So what are you planning on doing this year?" Jeremy asked, once again putting the microphone to Gray's mouth.

"Well, I'm planning on continuing doing, Lacrosse, Soccer, Football, Basketball, Boxing, BMX, Gymnastics, and Baseball. But I'm adding glee to my list also." He answered.

Taylor nodded," That's great—you're great."

Jeremy rolled his eyes as Taylor stared at Grayson dreamily, freaking out Grayson himself.

"Well I think we should let you go. Thanks for the interview Grayson." Jeremy said.

Taylor sent Jeremy a death glare;" I suppose so." Taylor whispered to Grayson's ear," I'd do anything for you, anything." Grayson gulped and nodded, quickly walking away.

~~Glee: The Next Generation! ~~

Taylor and Jeremy walked over to the "Wonder Twins", Gabe and Adrian who were by their lockers.

"Here is Gabriel and Adrianna Lopez-Pierce. Their mother's were the most popular people at McKinley back then and they seemed to follow in their footsteps. So "Wonder Twins", what did you guys do over the summer?" Taylor asked, giving the microphone to Gabe.

"Well I spent my summer having fun. I went to a lot of fun parties and met a lot of cool people—especially girls if you know what I mean." He said with a wink towards the camera." And I also played some football and baseball but that's nonessential information."

Adrian rolled her eyes," Well I spent my summer reading, writing, and coming up ideas for the school newspaper and yearbook." Adrian answered.

"How fascinating! The "Wonder Twins" always have something in store for us don't they?" Taylor said.

Adrian and Gabe shrugged their shoulders," We guess so." They said in unison.

Jeremy piped in and gave the microphone to Adrian," What do you have in store for this year, since it's your last year and all." Jeremy said.

"Well I'm planning on having New Directions win Nationals, having the Newspaper be a great hit as it always has been since I took over, make the perfect yearbook, and make this year memorable." Adrian answered with a smile.

Jeremy nodded," Very cool. And you Gabe?" he asked, giving the microphone to Gabe.

"Make this year memorable, win a national championship, win the championship in football and baseball, and get the hell out of Lima!" Gabe exclaimed.

"Amazing, just amazing. You two are like Chuck Norris, who surprisingly hasn't died yet—although he will never die…" Taylor trailed off.

The two seniors exchanged a baffled look," Are we done now?" Adrian asked.

"Yes of course! Thank you for the interview!" Taylor said.

The two seniors nodded and left their separate ways.

~~Glee: The Next Generation! ~~

The sophomore twins walked to Rowan who was now displaying a cheerio uniform and a high ponytail.

"Rowan Lopez-Pierce: new to McKinley being a freshman and all, but already showing popularity only on the first day! How does it feel?" Taylor asked.

Rowan smiled, "It feels great! Now can you please go before your creepiness invades my body?"

Jeremy stared at Rowan's chest a little too noticeably, the freshman scoffed," My eyes are up here Orangutan! And watch where you look because next time you decide to be a little perv, I will make sure you never have children!" Rowan threatened.

Taylor wacked the back of Jeremy's head," Stop being a creep! I'm very sorry Rowan, I'll make sure he never does that again. Now can you answer us one more question?"

Rowan sighed but nodded," Just make it snappy."

"Okay, so what do you plan on doing this school year?" Taylor asked, handing the microphone to Rowan.

Rowan smirked, "To take McKinley by storm." She answered simply.

"And it shall be that way! Welcome to McKinley Rowan." Taylor said. And Rowan smiled at the camera one last time and left.

~~Glee: The Next Generation! ~~

Delilah was walking through the McKinley hallways, displaying her new cheerio uniform and high ponytail. Suddenly she was swarmed by two people with microphones and a cameraman.

"Um do you guys need something?" she asked.

Taylor looked to the camera," Here at the scene is Delilah Puckerman, daughter of former HBIC and badass. Now Delilah, how does it feel to know your parents were once one of the most popular people at McKinley? Do you plan on following in their footsteps? Minus the whole pregnancy thing of course?"

Delilah grinned at the camera and took the microphone," I feel very proud that my parents were very important people back in their high school days. And I plan to continue that legacy of being popular. And I plan to follow in their footsteps, just not get pregnant. McKinley better be prepared because Delilah Puckerman just arrived, and she's going to rule the school alongside her friends."

Taylor smiled at the camera," Well there you have it McKinley, you got popular people coming in by storm."

Aidan stared at Delilah from his locker and Taylor seemed to notice and gestured the cameraman and Jeremy to follow her.

"Aidan Flanagan, son of Rory and Harmony Flanagan, and brother of Caitlyn Flanagan, former popular girl of McKinley who now goes to Julliard. It looks like someone has a crush on the new golden girl of McKinley; can you confirm that for us?" Taylor asked, pointing the microphone towards him.

Aidan stared at the camera and stammered," I-Uh- I don't-I don't- I mean she's pretty and cute but- uh I-"

"—there you have it McKinley, the school's Half-Irish leprechaun who can't even say a proper sentence like an Irishman does." And Taylor walked away from the freshman.

Jeremy leaned closer to Aidan," Do you have any Lucky Charms? I didn't have breakfast this morning." Aidan rolled his eyes and walked away.

"Leprechauns sure don't like sharing their gold." Jeremy muttered to himself.

~~Glee: The Next Generation! ~~

Emily and Connor walked hand in hand through the halls of McKinley; Emily's cheerio uniform swaying back in forth rhythmically. Taylor and Jeremy (plus the camera guy) approached the couple.

"Here is the "It" couple of McKinley, Emily Hummel-Anderson and Connor Puckerman. How is your relationship going you two?" Taylor asked, handing the microphone to the couple.

"Well it's been amazing, we've been dating for a year now and I can't imagine the rest of my years without Emms by my side." Connor answered, staring at Emily with his dopey smile.

Emily grinned," And I can't imagine mine without Connor, we're like the perfect two. He's my other half, he completes me. If I'm not with him, I'm nothing." Emily said. The two shared a quick kiss and Taylor dabbed her eyes.

"That was beautiful. You guys are meant to be!" Taylor said, tears falling from her face.

Jeremy grabbed her sister and they walked away from the happy couple and you could hear Taylor's loud sobs.

"Why can't I get a boyfriend? Am I not good enough? I'm the hottest bitch McKinley could ever have!" Taylor said from off the camera.

The couple exchanged a look and walked away from the camera.

"Yeah…" the camera guy said awkwardly.

~~Glee: The Next Generation! ~~

Taylor and Jeremy (plus the camera guy) approached Adeline, who was showing off her new cheerios uniform. Though she didn't know how to hide it from her parents when she got home later…

Jeremy stared dreamily at Adeline, which freaked her out a lot might she add.

"Here we have Adeline Hudson, who recently moved from New York City. Her parents, Finn Hudson, former Quarterback and Marine Veteran and Rachel Hudson, Broadway star and former glee club member. How do you feel Adeline, knowing one of your parents was popular while the other one was bullied and a Broadway freak?" Taylor asked, giving the microphone to Adeline.

Adeline gave her best show smile," I'm much honored to know that my parents left a legacy at McKinley and I hope to leave my mark at McKinley also in my 4 year high school career. I predict it will be a remarkable year for McKinley High students!" Adeline exclaimed, flashing a smile to the camera.

"That's great to know! Do you have anything to ask Jeremy?" Taylor asked her brother.

The red-head boy stared lovingly at Adeline," Where have you been all my life?" he asked.

Adeline took a step back from the boy and rolled her eyes," Away from you." She answered.

Jeremy took another step closer to Adeline," Your eyes, they're amazing." He complimented.

Adeline rolled her gray eyes," Seeing your back would be pretty amazing too. You know what how about I do it?" Adeline turned her heel and walked away from the boy.

"She totally wants me." Jeremy smirked. Taylor rolled her eyes and continued walking.

~~Glee: The Next Generation! ~~

Keegan casually strolled by the McKinley hallways, only to be approached by two people with microphones and a camera guy (seriously that guy was everywhere!).

Taylor looked to the camera with a bright smile," Here we have one of the most popular guys McKinley has. Keegan Lopez-Pierce, another child of Santana and Brittany Lopez-Pierce who were also popular in their high school years. Popularity must run in the family for the Lopez-Pierce, since all of them have a very high popularity rate in McKinley. Tell me Keegan, how was your summer—wait don't even answer that, it was probably amazing. What do you plan on doing this school year?" Taylor asked.

Keegan grinned," I um plan on continuing being in Lacrosse, Football, Soccer, Boxing, Basketball, BMX, Skateboarding, Baseball, Tennis, Gymnastics, and Track. But because my moms' insisted, I will also be doing glee." He answered.

Taylor grinned," How amazing! You are so awesome and cute!" Taylor leaned in to Keegan's ear," I told this to Grayson and I'll tell this to you, I'd do anything for you, anything." Keegan gulped.

"Yeah, I'm just going to go…" Keegan quickly walked off, scared out of his mind.

Jeremy sighed," Just face it Taylor! You scare off any guy with your creepy behavior!"

Taylor punched Jeremy in the arm," Like you don't."

And the twin siblings broke off into a huge argument.

~~Glee: The Next Generation! ~~

Taylor and Jeremy walked over to Scotty who looked surprised to see the two actually around her.

"Scotty Hummel- Anderson, what did you do this summer?" Taylor asked.

Scotty opened her mouth to speak but was quickly interrupted," Never mind." Taylor said.

And the two siblings quickly walked away and Scotty only huffed and continued walking through the hallways.

~~Glee: The Next Generation! ~~

Orion shook his head in disbelief," I seriously can believe that coach Sylvester and Jeanette actually let you on the cheerios!"

Adara grinned down on her uniform," Well they saw potential in me. And they said that they'll excuse the fact my last name is Schuester, just as long as I keep showing how awesome I am. "She beamed proudly.

Their conversation was interrupted by two certain reporters (plus the camera guy that was everywhere!).

"Orion and Adara Schuester, children of William Schuester, History and glee club teacher and Emma Schuester, guidance counselor. Tell me Orion and Adara, how does it feel to be a pretty popular duo and yet still be in glee?" Taylor asked.

"Well it feels good that I can be popular and still get to be in glee club—which isn't too popular around here might I add." Orion answered.

Taylor nodded," Awesome. "She said.

Adara smiled," I feel very happy that I get an amazing opportunity to be a cheerio and also be a new addition to the New Directions! I hope that this year will be a good year for me—being my first year and all."

"Interesting, do you guys plan to take—quote, "McKinley by storm"?" Taylor asked.

The two Schuester siblings looked at each other and smirked," Most definitely." They said in unison.

Taylor nodded," And so it shall be—maybe. And Adara, what do you feel about Ginger jokes or the stereotype?"

Adara took the microphone and looked straight at the camera," I am opposed of this whole ginger jokes and stereotype. One, I do have a soul. Two, no, I don't smell like copper. And three, if I hear one more ginger joke, I will go all Jackie Chan on your sorry asses!" the redhead freshman threatened.

Jeremy clapped and cheered," Finally someone with a brain!"

Taylor rolled her eyes," Thank you for your time Orion and Adara."

Adara and Orion nodded, quickly leaving Taylor, Jeremy, and that camera guy that's everywhere.

~~Glee: The Next Generation! ~~

Oliver watched as Ethan did something that was so 2012—Dubstep. Yet, the boy was so amazing, you really didn't give a crap what he was dancing.

Taylor and Jeremy watched in awe as the Asian boy did some insane—almost robotic dance moves. Once they sophomore finished, they applauded quite loudly.

"Amazing Ethan! You sure do have some moves! Here you just saw Ethan Chang, one of the most popular boys of McKinley and best dancer that I have ever met!" Taylor explained.

Ethan grinned proudly," Thank you!"

"Tell me Ethan, what do you plan to do this year?" Taylor asked.

"I plan on winning the championship in baseball, joining glee and winning nationals, and winning the annual, Ohio Dance Competition. Malina St. James will not beat me…again!" Ethan said.

"Amazing, so amazing! And you Oliver, who is by the way Finn and Rachel Hudson's son, what do you plan on doing this year?"

Oliver gave his thousand watt smile that his mother taught him so well in," I plan on being in Football, hopefully receiver, Basketball, hopefully shooting guard, Glee, Film Club, and Drama." Oliver explained.

Taylor nodded," That's a lot you got going on. Good luck! Do you plan on being well recognized by McKinley's students?"

Oliver nodded," Hopefully yes."

"Thank you so much for your time boys, let's hope to have a great year!" Taylor exclaimed.

The two sophomore boys nodded and slowly walked away, Ethan doing a back flip before leaving.

"God that kid's good." Jeremy commented.

"Let's go Jeremy!" Taylor exclaimed." You too camera boy!"

"I have a name you know!" the camera boy replied." It's—"

"—No one cares! Let's go!" Taylor said.

The nameless camera boy grumbled while following the two twins.

~~Glee: The Next Generation! ~~

Taylor and Jeremy approached Aaron, who rolled his eyes in return," What do you guys want?" he asked, brusquely.

Taylor grinned, "Well doesn't he seem excited? Here we have Aaron Evans, son of Mercedes Evans, one of the most famous singers of all time. And Sam Evans, a very well known comic book artist. Tell me Aaron, what do you plan to do this year?"

Aaron sighed," Do you really care?"

"The audience does." Taylor replied.

Aaron rolled his eyes," Well if you guys have no lives and insist on knowing someone else's, I plan on joining Glee this year, the Wrestling team, and the soccer team. Oh and continue my piano lessons. There, happy now?"

"Yes very, one more question, how does it feel to be an out a proud gay guy in school?" Taylor asked.

"I feel proud to be myself and not give a crap what anyone thinks. Now I got to go, some people like me do have lives!" Aaron said, leaving the three people interviewing him.

"Well that went well." Jeremy commented.

~~Glee: The Next Generation! ~~

Annie walked through the hallways of McKinley casually, her day's going pretty good, even though she's only been at school for a while.

Taylor walked up to Annie," Anabell Hummel-Anderson! We have a question for you, how was your sum—"

"—get away from me before I rearrange your already messed up face you creeper!" Annie snarled.

"Just one ques—"

"—get away."

"But it's just one—"

"—I SAID GET AWAY FROM ME! DO YOU NOT SPEAK ENGLISH YOU BAFOON!" Annie yelled with rage.

Taylor, Jeremy, and the camera dashed away from the blonde, and Annie smiled," Thought so." She said to herself.

~~Glee: The Next Generation! ~~

Taylor and Jeremy approached Cheryl," Hello, this is Cheryl Hudson, Her parents, Finn Hudson, former Quarterback and Marine Veteran and Rachel Hudson, Broadway star and former glee club member. Tell me Cheryl—"

"—No." she replied simply, walking into a classroom.

"Okay?" Jeremy said confusingly.

"Let's just go." Taylor said, leaving.

~~Glee: The Next Generation! ~~

Nicolette walked with her stupid cheerio uniform that she carried so much hatred for. And she became more annoyed at seeing the two Ben Israel siblings plus that camera guy no one cared about approaching her.

"Nicolette Puckerman, one of the most prettiest and popular girl at McKinley, also daughter of former HBIC and badass, so Nikki, what do you plan to do this year?" Jeremy asked.

Taylor rolled her eyes," Not be interviewed by you two Jewfro's." Nicolette said, leaving the two.

"You forgot about me!" the camera guy exclaimed.

"Exactly!" Nikki shouted from across the hallway.

"No one gives a shit about me." The angry camera guy said.

~~Glee: The Next Generation! ~~

Mason was leaning against someone's locker, having a conversation with his girlfriend of two years, Saphirra Renolds.

The rebel rolled his eyes as he saw the three people that have been interviewing numerous amounts of people.

"What the hell do you two want?" Mason asked.

Saphirra sent Mason a look and Mason looked at them more nicely," All right, what is it that you want?"

Taylor looked at the camera," Here we have Mason Puckerman and his girlfriend Saphirra Renolds. What do you two have planned for this year?"

"I plan on joining boxing, glee, and art. Even though my art needs no improving." He said taking out his sketchbook, showing a charcoal drawing of Saphirra. The drawing looked almost identical to Saphirra.

Saphirra blushed as she saw the drawing," He's an amazing drawer as you can see." Saphirra said.

"Wow that's amazing." Taylor complimented.

"Obviously." Mason scoffed.

"So, Saphirra what do you have planned this year?" Jeremy asked.

"I plan on well being on the cheerios, and I have accomplished that as you can see." She said, gesturing her perfect cheerio uniform." And I also plan on having an amazing year with my boyfriend." She said looking at Mason.

Mason smiled and they shared a kiss, then the kiss became more passionate. And the couple turned on to a full-on make-out session.

The three stood there awkwardly," Eh we're just going to go now..." And the three quickly left.

Taylor and Jeremy looked into the camera," Well there you have it McKinley; It's going to be one interesting year! Taylor and Jeremy Ben Israel signing off!"

~~Glee: The Next Generation! ~~

Today was the day of glee auditions, and Will Schuester could barely contain his excitement. He knew he had talent coming in. I mean come on—these kids are son or daughter of his old glee alums. They surely have talent pouring out of them.

As the final bell rang, his excitement grew higher and higher. This was it: auditions were starting in just minutes. He quickly pushed all of the papers on his desk into a messy stack, jumping up from his desk and eagerly grabbing his clipboard with the kids' names on it as he dashed out the door.

As he walked into the auditorium, he recalled having auditions having auditions for Glee Club 26 years ago: where he felt bursts of excitement as he took the chances of starting a glee club for the underdogs of McKinley.

He opened the door to the auditorium, nodded to Brad, who was still working as a pianist here, and took in a deep breath of air as he found his seat in the auditorium. But was quickly surprised, he had company.

"Hey Mr. Schue!" Quinn greeted.

Will smiled as he saw his old glee club members and Emma sitting in the auditorium," What are you guys doing here?" he asked.

"We came to cheer on our kids of course! They'll do an amazing job for sure!" Tina explained.

Will grinned and saw Orion, Nicolette, Connor, Adrianna, and Gabriel sitting by the old New Directions.

"Well let' the auditions begin." Will said.

~~Glee: The Next Generation! ~~

Adara entered the backstage area feeling all types of knots tied in her stomach. In her fourteen years, she'd never felt as nervous as she did now. But she was confident that her audition would be great.

"Adara Schuester!" her father called out from his desk in the audience.

Adara took a deep breath and walked onto the stage with a show smile plastered on her heard cheers coming from the audience (especially her mom and brother) and saw the old New Directions plus the 4 current members sitting in the audience and she felt nervousness take over. You could do this Adara, you're amazing. She told herself.

When she reached the center of the stage she took the microphone," Hi daddy. I'll be singing 'My heart will go on' by Celine Dion."

Will smiled," That's a tough one. Good luck."

Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you go on

Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on

Adara slowly felt her nervousness melt away and focused solely on making her performance amazing.

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go till we're gone

Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold to
In my life we'll always go on

Near, far, wherever you are, The New Directions found Adara to be rather amazing. She hit the notes perfectly and her soprano voice rang throughout the auditorium.
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

You're here, there's nothing I fear
And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

Will's mouth gaped, he knew his daughter was a good singer, but he didn't think she was this good. Boy did Adara have some voice.

Mmmmmm…

Adara finished the song and the entire audience stood up and clapped, she was amazing! Adara beamed at her first standing ovation.

"Honeybee, welcome to the New Directions!" Will said through the microphone.

Adara grinned and happily walked off the stage, feeling proud of her accomplishment. She joined the audience in the auditorium, where she got many congratulations from the audience. Adara has never felt more proud than she did now.

~~Glee: The Next Generation! ~~

Aaron watched from the back of the auditorium and found Adara to be a decent singer, but nothing compared to his talent.

"Aaron Evans!"

He confidently walked to the stage and heard the cheers from the audience (especially his parents and Orion).

"Hi. I'll be singing 'Tough Lover' from Christina Aguilera. Prepare for a show ladies and gentlemen." He said confidently.

The music began and Aaron grinned:

Ooh, oh yeah yeah
Oooh yeah yeah I need a tough lover, yeah yeah yeah
I need a, a tough lover, woo
I need a, a tough lover, yeah yeah yeah

Everyone in the audience looked in shock as they heard the boy sing. Except for Mercedes and Sam who knew their son had talent the moment he was born.

A tough lover, ooh yeah
When he kisses me, I get that thrill
When he does that wiggle I won't keep still
I wanna a tough lover (yeah, yeah)
A tough lover (woo)
I need a tough lover (yeah, yeah)
Tough lover (hum, hum)
The seven sisters got nothing on him

I'm talking about a lover who's fast as the wind
Everyone will talk about how he got me fixed
It ain't voodoo, it's just that twist
He will be the greatest lover that ever come to pass
Don Juan ain't got the half the chance
He's a tough lover (yeah, yeah)
A tough lover (woo)
He's a tough lover (yeah, yeah)

Aaron smiled at Orion, who he wanted as a "Tough Lover". He poured his heart and soul into the song as his jaw dropping voice rang in the audience's ear.

A tough lover (oh oh)
Hey, hey, hey ah
He'll make me laugh, he'll make me cry
He'll be so tough he'll make Venus come alive
He'll do anything that he wants to do
Step on Jesse James's blue suede shoes, yeah
A tough lover (yeah, yeah)
A tough lover (woo)

Will could not believe the voice this boy was blessed with. He was like the male version of Mercedes and his voice was jaw dropping amazing!

A tough lover (yeah, yeah)
A tough lover (hey yeah, yeah yeah)
A tough lover (yeah, yeah)
A tough lover (yeah, yeah)
A tough lover (oh oh)

Everybody stood and cheered for the boy with the big voice.

"Amazing job Aaron! Welcome to the New Directions! We'll be very lucky to have you!" Will exclaimed.

Aaron grinned proudly, he made it—and why wouldn't he? He was amazing. He happily sat down with the audience that praised him happily.

~~Glee: The Next Generation! ~~

Anabell looked from behind a curtain and saw her dads' in the audience and smiled. She wanted to nail this audition and make them proud.

"Anabell Hummel-Anderson!"

Annie walked to the center stage and smiled softly," I'll be singing 'Use Somebody' from Kings of Leon."

I've been roaming around, I was looking down at all I see
Painted faces fill the places I can't reach
You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody

Someone like you and all you know and how you speak
Countless lovers under cover of the street
You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody
Someone like you

The audience cheered loudly—well mostly Kurt and Blaine. The girl had an amazing voice. She had a soft and angelic voice. And the audience savored every moment of it.

Off in the night while you live it up I'm off to sleep
Waging wars to shake the poet and the beat
I hope it's gonna make you notice
I hope it's gonna make you notice

Someone like me, someone like me
Someone like me, somebody

Annie saw Gabe staring intently at her with such eyes, it made her heart flutter, but she ignored the feelings inside her and continued.

I'm ready now, I'm ready now
I'm ready now, I'm ready now
I'm ready now, I'm ready now
I'm ready now

The curly-haired teacher loved the girl's voice. She sounded like an angel with a side of rock in the side. It was a good combination.

Someone like you, somebody
Someone like you, somebody
Someone like you, somebody

I've been roaming around, I was looking down at all I see, the auditorium erupted in cheers and Annie smiled.

"Annie, the New Directions would feel honored to have you!"

Annie nodded and walked from the stage and took a seat with the audience, all who praised her for her impeccable performance.

~~Glee: The Next Generation! ~~

"Ethan Chang!"Ethan heard his name and he bit his lip nervously as he walked to the center stage.

"I'm going to be singing, 'You and me' from Lifehouse. So yeah—here goes."

The acoustic guitar began playing and Ethan took a breath and sang:

What day is it? And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time

'Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all other people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

One of the things that I want to say just aren't coming out right
I'm tripping on words
You've got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here

The audience enjoyed the song Ethan sang, you could feel the emotion he put into the song—as if he was singing it to someone he liked.

'Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all other people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

Will loved the voice he had. His bari-tenor voice rang through the auditorium.

There's something about you now
I can't quite figure out
Everything she does is beautiful
Everything she does is right, Ethan thought of Rowan, everything she did was perfect in his eyes. God how he loved Rowan.

'Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all other people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
and me and all other people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all other people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

What day is it?
And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive

He finished the song and the audience clapped and cheered—mostly coming from his parents. He felt pride and honor. He left the stage and joined the audience that gave him non-stop praise that he relished.

~~Glee: The Next Generation! ~~

Rowan watched as Ethan auditioned only moments ago. He was really good. She hoped to be that good. Even though she really didn't care for the club, but her moms' forced her.

"Rowan Lopez-Pierce!"

Rowan walked to the center of the stage confidently," Hey. I'll be singing, 'If I ain't got you' from Alicia Keys."

The pianist started playing the keys in perfect harmony and Rowan began:

Mmmmm…mmmm ohhhh…mmmm

Some people live for the fortune
Some people live just for the fame
Some people live for the power, yeah
Some people live just to play the game
Some people think that the physical things
Define what's within
And I've been there before
But that life's a bore
So full of the superficial

The audience cheered, hearing Rowan was just like hearing Santana all over again. And her mezzo-soprano rang through their ears.

Some people search for a fountain
That promises forever young
Some people need three dozen roses
And that's the only way to prove you love them
Hand me the world on a silver platter
And what good would it be
With no one to share
With no one who truly cares for me

Will savored and enjoyed every moment Rowan sang. Her mezzo-soprano voice was astounding! She had talent for sure. Like Santana did.

Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you, you, you
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you, yeah

Rowan grinned as she sang, she felt like she was the most amazing person in the world.

If I ain't got you with me baby
So nothing in this whole wide world don't mean a thing
If I ain't got you with me baby

The auditorium was filled with cheers—the loudest from her parents and siblings.

"That's my daughter!" Santana exclaimed.

"Welcome to the New Directions Rowan!" Will said.

Rowan grinned and walked off the stage and was greeted by praises from the audience. God how she loved it.

~~Glee: The Next Generation! ~~

Oliver looked in shock as Rowan stepped down from the stage, she was good. Really good.

"Oliver Hudson!"

He put on his show smile face and walked to the center stage.

"Yeah Oliver! That's my son!" he heard his mother exclaim.

He chuckled," I'll be singing 'Africa' by Toto."

I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in the 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation

I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say
"Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you!"

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

The audience cheered, Oliver was really good. Although he was Finn and Rachel's son, so what'd you expect out of him?

The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti

Will bobbed his head up and down to the song, he was amazing! He really didn't expect any less, he was Finn and Rachel's son!

I seek to cure what's deep inside
Frightened of this thing that I've become

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you

Oliver enjoyed the performance and felt like he did an amazing job on the performance alone.

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa, I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa, I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

Cheers erupted and Oliver grinned like crazy. He heard his mother's cheers the loudest.

"My son is amazing!" Rachel beamed.

"I have only one thing to say Oliver, Welcome to the New Directions!" Will said.

Oliver beamed and took a seat with the audience, and hearing all the praises made him so happy.

~~Glee: The Next Generation! ~~

Cheryl grinned proudly at her brother's performance, he was an amazing singer.

"Cheryl Hudson!"

Cheryl gave her best confident smile and walked confidently down the stage. She heard cheers from her parents and beamed, she was actually getting attention from her parents.

"Hi. I will be singing,' Unfaithful' by Rihanna."

Story of my life
Searching for the right
But it keeps avoiding me
Sorrow in my soul
Cause it seems that wrong
Really loves my company

He's more than a man
And this is more than love
The reason that the sky is blue
The clouds are rolling in
Because I'm gone again
And to him I just can't be true

And I know that he knows I'm unfaithful
And it kills him inside
To know that I am happy with some other guy
I can see him dying

The audience has only heard a small portion of the song, but already was she amazing. Her mezzo-soprano was amazing and she was really good. What'd you expect out of a Hudson?

I don't wanna do this anymore
I don't wanna be the reason why
Everytime I walk out the door
I see him die a little more inside
I don't wanna hurt him anymore
I don't wanna take away his life
I don't wanna be...
A murderer

I feel it in the air
As I'm doing my hair
Preparing for another date
A kiss upon my cheek
As he reluctantly
Asks if I'm gonna be out late
I say I won't be long
Just hanging with the girls
A lie I didn't have to tell
Because we both know
Where I'm about to go
And we know it very well

Cause I know that he knows I'm unfaithful
And it kills him inside
To know that I am happy with some other guy
I can see him dying

Will enjoyed the voice out of Cheryl, he didn't really know the girl very well but he knew she was good. He'd expect nothing less from a Hudson.

Our love, his trust
I might as well take a gun and put it to his head
Get it over with
I don't wanna do this
Anymore
Uh
Anymore (anymore)

Cheryl could relate so much to this song (not that she's cheated or been cheated on) but she looked at it through another aspect. She thought of Adeline while singing this. She didn't want to hurt Adeline anymore, she didn't want to do things she'd regret in the future—yet she was still doing it.

I don't wanna do this anymore
I don't wanna be the reason why
And everytime I walk out the door
I see him die a little more inside
And I don't wanna hurt him anymore
I don't wanna take away his life
I don't wanna be...
A murderer (a murderer)

No no no no

Yeah yeah yeah

She ended the song with tears glistening in her eyes. Cheers erupted in the room and she grinned.

"Cheryl, you're in!" Will shouted.

Cheryl nodded and sat down with the audience where everyone congratulated her. Her parents never looked so proud of her than they did now.

And she loved every moment.

~~Glee: The Next Generation! ~~

"Aidan Flanagan!" Aidan heard his name and felt his stomach tighten up in knots. But he kept his cool and strolled to the center stage.

"Whoo! My little Irish man!" Rory exclaimed.

Rory grinned at his dad," I'll be singing, 'Pumped up Kicks' from Foster the People."

Robert's got a quick hand.
He'll look around the room, he won't tell you his plan.
He's got a rolled cigarette, hanging out his mouth, he's a cowboy kid.
Yeah, he found a six shooter gun.
In his dad's closet hidden with a box of fun things, and I don't even know what.
But he's coming for you, yeah he's coming for you.

All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you better run, better run, outrun my gun.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you better run, better run, faster than my bullet.

The audience sang along to the song, his voice was astounding! He had a falsetto voice that looked like it took years of practice to make it to perfection! But it was worth it.

Daddy works a long day.
He'll be coming home late, he's coming home late.
And he's bringing me a surprise.
'Cause dinner's in the kitchen and it's packed in ice.
I've waited for a long time.
Yeah the sleight of my hand is now a quick-pull trigger,
I reason with my cigarette,
And say, "Your hair's on fire, you must have lost your wits, yeah."

All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you better run, better run, outrun my gun.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you better run, better run, faster than my bullet.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you better run, better run, outrun my gun.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you better run, better run, faster than my bullet.

Will was fascinated with the kid! He was amazing! His falsetto voice rang through his ears.

[Whistling]

All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you better run, better run, outrun my gun.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you better run, better run, faster than my bullet.

Aidan enjoyed performing! Doing this felt…right. And he couldn't live without it.

All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you better run, better run, outrun my gun.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you better run, better run, faster than my bullet.

The room erupted in cheers and Aidan gave a cheeky grin.

"You're defiantly in Aidan!" Will said.

Aidan grinned and joined the audience that congratulated him and he felt so proud of himself—more than usual.

~~Glee: The Next Generation! ~~

Delilah adjusted her Pointe shoes. She wasn't only going to sing—she was going to dance too! Talk about double performance.

"Delilah Puckerman!"

Delilah walked to the center of the stage," Hello. I'll be performing, 'Gimme Gimme' from the musical, Thoroughly Modern Millie."

A simple choice, nothing more
This or that, either or
Marry well, social whirl, business man, clever girl
Or pin my future on the boy I love
What kind of life am I dreaming of?

She slowly pulled herself from one spot, eyes half-closed in concentration as she flitted lithely across the floor.

I say gimme, gimme ... gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme that thing called love
I want it
Gimme, gimme that thing called love
I need it
Highs and lows, tears and laughter
Gimme happy ever after
Gimme, gimme that thing called love

Delilah went on tippy toes and slowly moved through the stage, everyone in awe of the girl's high soprano voice and dance moves.

Gimme, gimme that thing called love
I crave it
Gimme, gimme that thing called love
I'll brave it
Thick 'n thin, rich or poor time
Gimme years and I'll want more time
Gimme, gimme that thing called love

Gimme, gimme that thing called love
I'm free now, Delilah began doing jazz moves and did a high leap.
Gimme, gimme that thing called love
I see now
Fly, dove! Sing, sparrow!
Gimme Cupid's famous arrow
Gimme, gimme that thing called love

Will was entranced by her high soprano voice and dance moves, he was glad to have more dancers now.

I don't care if he's a nobody
In my heart he'll be a somebody
Somebody to love me!

As Delilah spun, she felt a rush of adrenaline, dancing was her passion, and without it she was nothing.

I need it
Gimme, gimme that thing called love
I want it
Here I am, St. Valentine
My bags are packed, I'm first in line
Aphrodite, don't forget me
Romeo and Juliet me
Fly, dove! Sing, sparrow!
Gimme fat boy's famous arrow
Gimme, gimme that thing called love!, Delilah belted the last note and the room erupted in cheers. Delilah did an amazing performance.

Puck and Quinn cheered loudly for their youngest. As she had done an amazing job.

Will grinned," Great job Delilah! Nice work! Glee is lucky to have you!"

Delilah beamed and walked off the stage and was praised by many of the audience. And she can't say she didn't enjoy it, she loved it!

~~Glee: The Next Generation! ~~

Grayson watched in awe as Delilah did her performance, she was amazing. And pretty cute if he'd say so himself…

"Grayson Abrams!"

He confidently walked through the stage with a smile," I'll be singing, 'For you' by Keith Urban. Prepare for a show ladies and gentlemen!"

Well, all I saw was smoke and fire...
I didn't feel a thing.
But suddenly I was rising higher...
And I felt like I just made... the biggest mistake.
When I thought about my unborn child...
When I thought about my wife...
And the answer rang out CLEAR from somewhere up above

No greater gift has man, then to lay down his life for Love.

And I wondered, would I give my life?
Could I make that sacrifice?
If it came down to it, could I take the bullet... I would
Yes I would, For You

Everyone was mesmerized by Gray's bari-tenor voice. And put a good voice with good looks and you got pure hotness out of Gray.

Baby, you don't understand... I don't understand it all myself.
But there's a Brother on my left and another on my right
And in his pocket just like mine... he's got a photograph.
And they're waitin' for him back home.

And it's weighing on my mind...
I'm not trying to be the hero... I don't wanna to die...
But right now, in this moment, you don't think twice.

I wondered, would I give my life?
Could I make that sacrifice?
If it came down to it, could I take the bullet... I would
Yes I would...

Will enjoyed the song, Gray had an astounding voice and his bari-tenor voice seemed to ring in Will's ears angelically.

You don't think about right.
You don't think about wrong.
You just do what you gotta do... to defend your own.
And I do this thing... for you, yes I would... yes I would.

Gray had confidence and he loved that the attention was at him, and just him. He sent a wink to the audience and continued singing.

And I would give my life... I would make that sacrifice.
Cause if it came down to it, could I take the bullet, I would.
Yes, I would, I'd do it for you... I'd do it for you.
I'd take the bullet, yea, Yes I would.

The audience erupted in cheers and Gray sponged up the entire praise.

Will clapped and cheered, "Great job Grayson! You are very welcome to the New Directions!"

Gray smirked as he stepped of the stage and into the audience of praising people, he couldn't expect less, he was pretty amazing.

~~Glee: The Next Generation! ~~

Scotty bit her lip nervously, Grayson did really good, and what if she wasn't that good enough?

"Scott Hummel-Anderson!"

Scotty rolled her eyes, some name her dads' gave her. She walked to the center of the stage and gave a timid smile.

"I'll be singing, 'Shark in the water' by VV Brown."

Sometimes I get my head in a dilly
Feeling so lost, ticking you off
Now boy, you know me well
Said, I'm that kind of feeling
That kind of soft, that kind of silly
But when I'm in doubt, I open my mouth
And words come out, words come out like

Baby, there's a shark in the water
There's something underneath my bed
Oh, please believe I said
Baby, there's a shark in the water
I caught them barking at the moon
Better be soon

Everyone cheered, Scotty had an amazing voice, her soprano voice rung through the auditorium and it sounded marvelous.

High in the sky, the song that I'm singing
A sweet little lie, I cry wolf, cry
Rabbit out of the hat, yes, so that's why I'm bringing
Some tricks up my sleeve, for noticing me
It wouldn't cause you any harm, I just want you in my arms
I can't help, I can't help myself

Will enjoyed the performance that she was giving, she was hitting all the notes and her voice was clear and in harmony. She was truly amazing.

Baby, there's a shark in the water
There's something underneath my bed
Oh, please believe I said
Baby, there's a shark in the water
I caught them barking at the moon
Better be soon

(Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do)
(Better be soon)
(Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do [x2])

Right is right
Rules are rules
This is more like April Fool's
I'm just winding you up, oh
Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Please don't make too much of it
It ain't that serious

Scotty let herself go and just sang the lyrics, whenever she sang, she sang with emotion and that's what made a true performance. Or at least she told herself that.

Baby, there's a shark in the water
There's something underneath my bed
Oh, please believe I said
Baby, there's a shark in the water
I caught them barking at the moon
You better get here soon

Baby, there's a shark in the water
Baby, there's a shark in the water
Baby, there's a shark in the water
I caught them barking at the moon
Better be soon

The auditorium was echoing with cheers. Scotty had done an amazing job.

"Welcome to the New Directions Scotty."

And how welcome did she felt.

~~Glee: The Next Generation! ~~

Emily smiled proudly at her little sister; she had done an amazing job. And she couldn't expect anything less.

"Emily Hummel-Anderson!"

She smiled as she walked to the center of the stage," Hey! I'll be singing, 'Last Name' by Carrie Underwood."

Last night, I got served a little bit too much of that poison, baby
Last night, I did things I'm not proud of
And I got a little crazy
Last night, I met a guy on the dance floor and I let him call me baby

And I don't even know his last name
My momma would be so ashamed
It started off, "hey cutie where you from"
And then it turned into oh no, what have I done
And I don't even know his last name

Everyone loved the performance she gave; her angelic voice was heard throughout the auditorium. Connor grinned as she sang, she was amazing—though he already knew that.

We left, the club, 'bout around 3 o'clock in the morning
His Pinto, sitting there, in the parking lot, well it should have been a warning
I had no clue what I was getting into
So, I'll blame it on the Cuervo
Oh where did my manners go?

I don't even know his last name
Oh My momma would be so ashamed
It started off, "hey cutie where you from"
And then it turned into "oh no, what have I done"
And I don't even know his last name

Will thought Emily's voice was simply amazing. He wouldn't expect anything less though, she was Kurt and Blaine's daughter.

Here we go

Today, I woke up, thinking about Elvis somewhere in Vegas
I'm not sure how I got here
Or how this ring on my left hand just appeared outta nowhere
I gotta go take the chips and the Pinto and hit the road
They say what happens here, stays here, all of this will disappear

There's just one little problem

I don't even know my last name
Oh My momma would be so ashamed
It started off, "hey cutie where you from"
And then it turned into "oh no, what have I done"
And I don't even know my last name

What have I done
What have I done
What have I done

Oh, what have I done
I don't even know my last name

Well it turned into, oh no what have I done
And I don't even know my last name
Yea, Yeah, Yeah

Emily enjoyed performing the song, she felt like she was amazing up in the stage.

I don't even know my last name
It started off "hey cutie where you from"
And then it turned into, oh no what have I done
And I don't even know my last name
Oh, yeah

Everyone clapped and cheered—Kurt and Blaine being the loudest.

The curly-haired teacher clapped," You are in Emily! Congratulations!"

Emily smiled as she took a seat next to Connor in the auditorium and he kissed her cheek.

"You were amazing." He said.

"When aren't I?" she joked.

~~Glee: The Next Generation! ~~

Keegan watched from behind the curtain how amazing Emily sang, she was pretty good and he was hoping he'd do great.

"Keegan Lopez-Pierce!"

He walked to the center stage and gave a smile," I'll be singing, 'Makes me wonder' by Maroon 5. So hope you enjoy it!"

I wake up with blood-shot eyes
Struggled to memorize
The way it felt between your thighs
Pleasure that made you cry
Feels so good to be bad
Not worth the aftermath, after that
After that
Try to get you back

I still don't have the reason
And you don't have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a fuck about you

Everyone loved the voice in him! He had an amazing voice, and almost sounded like Adam Levine himself if you ask them.

Give me something to believe in
Cause I don't believe in you anymore
Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference to try
(Yeah)
So this is goodbye

Will couldn't believe the voice in him! He sounded almost like Adam Levine! He was really surprised by the performance!

God damn my spinning head
Decisions that made my bed
Now I must lay in it
And deal with things I've left unsaid
I want to dive into you
Forget what you're going through
I get behind, make your move
Forget about the truth

I still don't have the reason
And you don't have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a fuck about you

Give me something to believe in
Cause I don't believe in you anymore
Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference,
It even makes a difference to try
And you told me how you're feeling
But I don't believe it's true anymore
Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference to cry
(Oh no)
So this is goodbye

I've been here before
One day I'll wake up
And it won't hurt anymore
You caught me in a lie
I have no alibi
The words you say don't have a meaning
Cause

Keegan focused solely on the song and nothing else. He wanted this performance to be perfect. And he thought he was getting there.

I still don't have the reason
And you don't have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a fuck about you
And I...and so this is goodbye

The song ended and everyone clapped and cheered, the boy sure had talent.

"Welcome to glee Keegan, we'll be happy to have you!"

The sophomore grinned," Thanks!" and he stepped down the stage and was praised by everyone.

~~Glee: The Next Generation! ~~

"Mason Puckerman!"

Mason gave one last kiss to Saphirra on the lips before he went to the stage.

"This song's for you." He whispered in her ear, making Saphirra blush.

He stepped to the center of the stage and grinned," I'll be singing, 'You're Beautiful' by James Blunt." He looked towards the side of the stage and smiled at his girlfriend who gave him a thumbs up.

My life is brilliant.

My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.

The audience grinned and sang along to the song, he had an amazing voice. It was like hearing Puck all over again. And you can't complain about that.

Yeah, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
Flying high,
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.

Will couldn't believe the voice in the kid! It was like hearing Puck sing all over again! And it was very enjoyable.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it's time to face the truth,
I will never be with you.

Everyone clapped for Mason and he smiled proudly, he looked over at Saphirra and winked and she mouthed, "I love you."

"I love you too." He mouthed back.

"Glee will be very lucky to have you Mason!"

And Mason walked back backstage and took Saphirra by the hand and to the auditorium seats where he was praised by everyone.

~~Glee: The Next Generation! ~~

Adeline walked in the auditorium and looked out to the audience and her eyes widened at who she saw, her parents were there. How was she going to hide the uniform she had on now? Her original plan was to put on her regular clothes when she was going home. But now she was screwed.

"Adeline Hudson!" Adeline gulped, she had to face it somehow so might as well start now.

She walked towards the center stage, her cheerio uniform swishing back and forth. She looked towards the audience and saw both her parents shocked looks, her mother's scaring her the most.

"I'll be singing 'Hallelujah' by Leonard Cohen."

The piano began playing and Adeline took a deep breath and sang:

I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Everybody's mouth gaped, they've never thought such a small girl would have such a big voice. Some people thought she was even better than Rachel.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Will was astonished by the voice she had, her high soprano soared throughout the auditorium. He couldn't get enough of her voice.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Baby I have been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you.
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

There was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
And remember when I moved in you
The holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Adeline remembered when she first heard the song; she was watching the movie, "Shrek" back when she was at the hospital getting chemotherapy for her cancer. And she immediately fell in love with it and listened to it non-stop. It was like a comfort song for her—her lullaby.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
It's not a cry you can hear at night
It's not somebody who has seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did, well, really, what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light in every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though it all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Adeline belted the last note and the room erupted in cheers.

"That was absolutely amazing Adeline. Welcome to glee!" Will exclaimed.

Adeline smiled and walked off the stage, she took a seat by Delilah and Rowan, and could feel her mother's eyes staring her. She looked at her mother and she looked at her," We'll talk about this later." Rachel said.

Adeline gulped, she was screwed.

~~Glee: The Next Generation! ~~

Will grinned as he saw all 20 kids seated in the auditorium, he had more than enough kids to compete in Sectionals, now to only see how they sound together…

"All right guys! So I have a small assignment for you guys to do, can you guys do a group number together?" Will asked.

All the new New Directions looked at each other and smiled," We got this Mr. Schue." Keegan said.

"Well then let's see." Mr. Schue said taking a seat with the old New Directions plus Emma and Saphirra.

~~Glee: The Next Generation! ~~

All 20 members stood in the stage and gestured the band to play.

Woahh!

From behind the New Directions stepped forward, Take me to your best friend's house
Going around this roundabout
Oh yeah
Take me to your best friend's house
I loved you then and I love you now
Oh yeah

Don't take me tongue tied
Don't wave no goodbye
Don't...

Anabell stepped forward and grinned,Take me to your best friend's house
Marmelade we're making out
Oh yeah
Take me to your best friend's house
I loved you then and I love you now

All the New Directions sang in perfect tune,Don't take me tongue tied
Don't wave no goodbye
Don't...

One, two, three, four
Don't leave me tongue tied
Let's stay up all night
I'll get real high
Slumber party; pillow fight
My eyes and your eyes
Like Peter Pan up in the sky
My best friend's house tonight
Let's bump the beats till beddy-bye, the New Direction harmonized.

Everybody danced around and smiled as they had fun and sounded great too!

Grayson walked forward, Don't take me tongue tied
Don't wave no goodbye, he sang
All the New Directions stepped forward, Don't take me tongue tied
Don't kiss me goodnight
Don't...

Take me to your best friend's house
Going around this roundabout
Oh yeah
Take me to your best friend's house
I loved you then and I love you now

Don't leave me tongue tied
Don't wave no goodbye
Don't leave me tongue tied
Don't...

Don't…

The song ended and the New Directions grinned, they'd done an awesome job for the first time performing together.

Everyone in the auditorium cheered and clapped for the next generation of New Directions.

"You guys, that was great!" Will told them, looking around all of them.

"Thanks! I smell a national trophy, don't you?" Grayson said, confidently.

Will nodded," I see it too! And your parents seem to see it too!"

The old New Directions walked towards the stage and hugged and congratulated their children.

The team laughed, and Will grinned, clapping his hands together. "Alright then! We've got a lot of work to do—let's take it from the top!"

So that was chapter 3! I know it was a little long but hopefully you enjoyed it!
