Cheryl stared from her locker at her supposedly "best friend" as she grinned while heavily texting someone. Adrian and she had been close friends since birth—which is weird for Cheryl since she always comes and goes when it comes to friends but she's always stuck around with Adrian. But now it seemed that Adrian was too busy to even walk by her and she was going to talk about it right now.
Cheryl slammed her locker and walked over to Adrian and snatched her phone away from her.
"Hey! That's my property Cheryl; you don't just snatch it when you feel like you want to!" Adrian exclaimed, while trying to retrieve the phone back.
Cheryl looked at who she was texting," Malina? You're texting Malina? Lead singer of Vocal Adrenaline, our enemy! Adrian what the hell is wrong with you?" Cheryl yelled at her.
Adrian took the phone away and rolled her eyes," Why are you freaking out? We're just texting."
"You're fraternizing with the enemy! Seriously, this is who you've been ditching me for?" Cheryl asked.
"I'm not ditching you Cher." Adrian said.
Cheryl nodded," You have! For weeks! Because you've been busy texting and hanging out with Pocahontas that you leave your best friend who's always been there for you!"
"Cherry…" Adrian began, using the childhood nickname she gave to Cheryl.
"Don't Cherry me! You think I like being all alone? I've had to deal with Nikki on my back since you've abandoned me!" Cheryl exclaimed.
Adrian touched Cheryl's shoulder," I'm sorry okay? I didn't mean to ditch you like this. But she's an awesome girl, maybe we could all meet each other. I'm sure you'd like her!"
Cheryl rolled her eyes," Okay. I forgive you—just because you're my best friend. How about we hang out today? Say…my house? It's been lonely lately without Adeline around—I don't like the brat but she entertains me at times."
Adrian chuckled," How is Adeline anyway? And stop calling her a brat! She's a cute kid, she makes me laugh. She's like the little sister I never had!" Adrian also got along well with Adeline, mostly because Adeline is best friends with Rowan but she bonded with the girl at times.
"She's fine I guess. And I'll trade her in a heartbeat if I can! So today? My house?" Cheryl said.
Adrian bit her lip, she had plans with Malina today…Cheryl sent her a withering look," Don't tell me: Malina." Cheryl answered.
The oldest Lopez-Pierce nodded," I'm really sorry Cheryl. How about tomorrow? I'm not busy."
"But I am. I have to audition for tomorrow for the musical." Cheryl huffed.
"You haven't told your mom yet? Cheryl you can't keep lying to her." Adrian told her friend.
"I can't tell her that I don't want to go to NYADA or any other arts school, it'll break her heart! She sees Adeline and I in her and I like having that connection with my mom." Cheryl said.
"But it's not a real connection. You should tell her that you want to be a wedding planner or an interior designer because that's what you love! Stop hiding what you love and just tell her, she'll understand." Adrian assured.
Cheryl nodded and then turned to Adrian," Maybe you should try out for the musical."
Adrian shook her head," No Cher—"
"—aw come on! You'd get a part—not Elphaba or Glinda but maybe Nessarose! It'd be amazing!" Cheryl assured.
"I'm not a theater lover. Nor do I want to be one. I'm fine being in the school newspaper writing about it." Adrian replied.
Cheryl rolled her eyes," It's our last year—well yours I barely came here, anyway, we might as well make the best of it."
"I suppose so, now tell me, what's going on between you and Nikki?" Adrian asked with a grin.
"Nothing!"
"That's what they all say…"

Delilah walked inside the bathroom and into a stall; she was lucky to lose the 10 pounds last week and thankfully kept her uniform. But what she had to do to keep the uniform still surprised her…
The blonde freshman walked into the football field and caught the withering look of one Jeanette Sylvester. She had no idea how to even lose the 10 pounds and if she lost this uniform, she would lose her entire popularity.
"I take it Coach J is making you lose weight?" A voice said.
She turned around to see one of the older cheerios—a senior look at Delilah," How do you know?" Delilah asked.
The senior chuckled," We all have to go through it. Losing the weight is hard—especially if you want to keep the uniform as desperately as you could. But I know a solution…"
"What is it?" Delilah asked, in the most desperate tone.
The senior opened her bag and took out what looked to be diet pills and handed them to Delilah," You take these and only these. If you decide to eat, you puke it out. But I suggest you just don't."
Delilah's eyes widened, she was supposed to starve herself? Wasn't it dangerous?
"Isn't it a little…dangerous?" Delilah asked in a whisper.
The older cheerio shook her head," I do it and look at me…still alive. Just do it Puckerman, you'll be fine. Remember: Take those and only those and if you do decide to eat—which I advice you not to—you puke it out. Got it?"
Delilah hesitantly took the pills and stuffed them in her bag," Thank you." She said.
"Don't mention it. Thank me later when you still have the uniform."
Delilah was still in shock how she made it through the entire week with only diet pills but she lost the 10 pounds and Coach Jeanette was really proud of her. And she even felt like people looked at her differently and she liked it.
She stared at the toilet beside her, she had just eaten a salad and quite frankly she felt a lot of guilt by it…she looked out the stalls and no one was there. She turned back to the toilet, maybe just this once…
She sat on the floor and stuck her fingers in her mouth and all the contents from breakfast and lunch were gone. She breathed heavily and then flushed the toilet and came out of the stall and looked at herself in the mirror, she was pale—really pale. She looked through her bag and took out the pills and stuffed 3 in her mouth.
"It was just this once." she thought to herself." Just this once…"
~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~
Adara finished explaining Pythagorean Theorem to Oliver who had a blank face of the whole explanation.
"You learn all of that from a damn triangle?" he asked, dazed.
Adara chuckled," It's not that hard Oliver, try the problem again." She told him.
Oliver huffed as his pencil scribbled fiercely as he solved the problem. Adara found it cute how he stuck his tongue out a bit when he was working diligently. He finished the problem and handed the paper to Adara.
"It's right." She replied with a smile.
"Its right?" he asked, shocked.
Adara nodded," You got it. See? You totally got this."
Oliver smiled proudly," That's because I have an amazing tutor helping me."
The redhead blushed and smiled," Thanks."
"So are you nervous?" he asked.
"About what?" Adara asked.
"Your audition for the school's musical. You nervous?" Oliver explained.
Adara bit her lip and nodded, she wasn't nervous before but the moment she saw Adeline's name on the sign up sheet…she freaked. Adeline was all kinds of talented and Adara while she had a strong voice, she wasn't trained for Broadway. She didn't live and breathed Broadway, she lived and breathed gymnastics.
"Well you shouldn't be so nervous, I'm sure you'll do amazing. You're really good." Oliver assured.
Adara smiled softly," Thank you, but that doesn't calm my nerves. You know your sister Oliver and you know how talented she is. She's most likely going to get Elphaba."
Oliver nodded," I know how talented she is. And I'm not going to deny it, she is. But you are too. You're all kinds of awesome." He smiled.
"Are you going to try out for the musical?" Adara asked.
He shrugged his shoulders," I don't know…maybe."
Adara nodded in understanding," I understand. Hey did you hear about Mason?"
"What about him?" Oliver asked.
"Apparently he pulled a prank in class and now who knows what types of trouble he's in." Adara told him.
"What did he do now?" Oliver asked.
"Put thumbtacks on everyone's seats—including mine. Yeah, not a good moment for me." Adara explained.
Oliver chuckled," That's Mason to you, always is pulling something."
"Yeah well now he's in the principal's office." Adara said.
"Wonder how that's going."
"I could only imagine…"
~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~
Principal Figgin's stared at the rebellious boy. Just like his father. Masons stared at him with a smirk.
"Hey Figs. How's it going man? Is that a new tie? Loving it!" he smirked.
"Mason Puckerman this is the last straw! You're pulling too many shenanigans around the school campus and I will not put up with it any longer! I'm giving you a week suspension!" The graying Indian man exclaimed.
Mason's eyes widened," Whoa, whoa, whoa it was just a prank! I don't think suspension is the word here."
"You've given me no choice Mason, you keep pulling these shenanigans at school and I'm done with it! I didn't like your father's shenanigans and I will not like yours!" Figgin's exclaimed.
"What do I have to do not to get a suspension? Anything but a suspension." Mason asked.
Figgin's grinned," I was hoping you'd ask that question…"
Mason squirmed in his seat," What is it?"
"You join this year's musical."
"WHAT? No! No way am I going to be prancing around the stage singing kumbaya feelings, hell no!" Mason protested.
"Then seek suspension. It's your choice Mason. Musical or Suspension?" Figgin's asked.
Mason sighed, he couldn't risk a suspension—his parents would kill him," Musical." He grumbled.
Figgin's smiled," Excellent."
Mason stood up to leave," By the way, I hate your tie." And with that, the rebel left the office.
~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~
The old New Directions were at BreadstiX together, laughing and talking and reconnecting once again.
"I'm so glad we're all back together—just with our kids!" Mike exclaimed.
Santana smirked," I'm still surprised Rachel popped out kids of her own. I thought she was going to end up forever alone with 50 cats." Santana joked.
Rachel rolled her eyes," Well as you can see I have 3 kids who love me greatly." Rachel then frowned," Well two of them."
"Adeline is still living with Quinn and Puck? Hasn't it been almost a month?" Tina asked.
Rachel nodded," But its okay, she could take all the time she needs."
"What happened anyway? Adeline just wouldn't move in with Quinn and Puck for just any reason—even though she loves them." Harmony asked.
Rachel bit her lip as she looked at Quinn who nodded," After glee club auditions, I yelled at Adeline for joining the cheerios because I specifically told her not to but she did it anyway. We fought and then she called me a bitch and then I…slapped her." Rachel explained.
Everyone's mouth gaped and stared at Rachel," Hold up, you slapped your own daughter? Rachel what is wrong with you?" Mercedes exclaimed.
"So that's why she had the purple bruise on her cheek…damn Rach you have an arm." Santana said.
Rachel looked down," Look, I regretted it the moment I did it but she didn't want to hear it and left."
Finn nodded," She'll come to her senses and come back."
"Yeah, but it was bound to happen." Sam spoke up.
"What do you mean?" Rachel asked.
"You guys were keeping her in a little bubble—not wanting anyone to hurt her. And I get why, she went through a lot when she was little but she's a teenager now and she just wants to be a teenager. And she deserves a little freedom." Sam explained.
"I told her that." Quinn said, agreeing with Sam.
"We know, we know. But you guys didn't see her when she had…that. She was so tiny and v-vulnerable…" Rachel started to tear up," I couldn't stand see her that way, suffering so much, going through so much at only 6. I just didn't want her to get hurt anymore…I wanted to just hide her from the world so no one could hurt her."
Finn squeezed Rachel's hand reassuringly," But we realize she does deserve a little freedom."
"How about we change the topic?" Kurt asked.
Everyone nodded," So who's excited for the musical auditions tomorrow?" Kurt asked, a grin creeping on his face.
Harmony squealed excitingly," So excited! My son Aidan is auditioning." She beamed proudly.
"Oh so now he's your son, but when he does something, he's my son!" Rory joked.
Harmony playfully pushed him," So, do you know who else is auditioning?"
"Well Delilah is trying out for Glinda…I remember when I did the movie adaption of Wicked and played Glinda…won 3 Oscars for it!" Quinn answered," Hopefully she gets it."
"Well Ethan's the choreographer, the musical's going to be way better now!" Mike joked playfully.
Everyone laughed," I heard Adara's going for Elphaba." Blaine said.
"So is Adeline…oh crap." Kurt said.
"It's Mercedes vs. Rachel part 2—except this time it's for Elphaba, not Maria." Artie told the group.
Harmony huffed," Well this isn't going to be easy…they're both really good. How are we supposed to pick only one Elphaba?"
"Well there are others auditioning, like Cheryl. She's equally as good." Rachel said.
"We'll make up our decision when the time comes." Kurt told them.
"You know what would be hilarious?" Quinn asked.
"What?"Everyone asked.
"Mason auditioning for the musical." Quinn answered, already laughing.
Everyone looked at each other and burst out laughing," Yeah, that would never happen in a million years!" Noah said, in between laughs.
"Although he does have a good voice, but we could only dream of him auditioning for a musical." Rachel said.
Everybody nodded," Isn't weird?" Finn asked.
"What's weird?" Rachel asked.
Finn chuckled," How back in high school we desperately wanted to get out of Lima—and when we did leave, we vowed to never come back. And now we're back here—with our kids, who are in glee just like we were. It's just funny how we came back when we vowed to never come back."
Everybody laughed," Well Lima has a special place in all our hearts—Lima just drives us back." Quinn said.
"Do you think our kids will go through as much drama as we did?" Mercedes asked.
"God forbid no! But if they did, I think it would be worse." Kurt replied.
"Like, Lord Tubbington quitting smoking worse?" Brittany asked.
Everybody laughed, though Brittany had matured since high school, she still had her moments.
"How I missed us all together…" Rory sighed.
"The glee family is back together." Tina grinned.
"And they will always stay together." Blaine added.
"God this is making my cold heart melt." Santana cringed.
~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~
Delilah and Rowan stared at Adeline with wide eyes; Adeline had just told them what had happened between Mason and her. And the two were surprised.
"Let me get this straight…you and Mason…kissed?" Rowan asked, whispering the last part.
Adeline nodded looking down at her hands," Well it started with a kiss then we kind of made out…" Adeline trailed off.
Delilah faked gagged," Please don't talk about making out with my twin brother—it's too weird for me…"
Rowan rolled her eyes," Was he good?" she smirked.
The youngest Hudson blushed red and softly nodded," He was amazing but—"
"—but what? If he kissed you then I assume he likes you…right?" Rowan asked.
Adeline gray eyes filled up with tears," That would be amazing if he didn't pull back and reject me." Adeline's voice cracked.
Delilah's eyes turned cold," He did that? I'm going to kill him—no I'm going to do worse—I'm going to shave off his head and burn it in front of his eyes! I know he's my brother but he's an ass!"
"Whoa Dee, I didn't think you'd have it in you but you just released your inner bitch! Anyway, I'll go all Lima Heights on him the moment I see him! It'll be worse then when I attacked the devil called Angel." Rowan told them.
"Guys, do you not remember that Mason has a girlfriend? Maybe that's why he pulled back and rejected me." Adeline said.
"Then why did he kiss you in the first place? Ugh I'm going to kill Mason! I hate that he's toying with your feelings and all you do is get hurt!" Delilah exclaimed.
Adeline huffed," I hate how one day he's the sweetest guy in the world and acts like he has feelings for me, and the next he's a total ass that rejects me!"
Rowan grinned sneakily," I have an idea…"
"What is it?" Delilah asked.
"You want to show Mason that you're done with his attitude towards you right?" Rowan asked.
Adeline nodded," Well I have something in mind for you to show him you're done…and it involves very sexy outfits…" Rowan trailed off.
A smile appeared into Adeline's face," Continue…" And the three girls discussed what they were going to do to put Mason Puckerman in his place.
~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~
Adrian smiled as she shared a quick coffee in Malina's car—the Brazilian native decided to pay a visit to Adrian while she was at school and it made Adrian's heart flutter.
"So, how's life?" Malina asked, smiling.
"Complicated." Adrian answered with a sigh.
"How so?" Malina took a sip of her hot cup of coffee.
"My best friend is jealous that I don't hang out with her much anymore—plus she wants me to audition for the school musical." Adrian explained.
Malina nodded," Well you should hang out with her! Simple as that. And I think you should audition for the musical, what it?"
"Wicked. I've only seen it once, and it was the movie. My friend thinks I'd make a perfect Nessarose." Adrian said.
"You would. I've seen the musical and the movie and both are really good. You would make a great Nessarose and you're a really good singer—not as good as me though." Malina giggled with a wink.
Adrian laughed," I don't know…I'm not the musical type. And I'm not the best actress out there. "
"Neither am I but I still played Eponine in the community theatres musical! I say you should do it, it is your last year—make the best of it." Malina replied. "Besides, I would totally go see the musical—seems like its going to be good if you're in it…"
Adrian blushed," You seem to always get me to do things don't you?"
"Does that mean you're doing the musical?" Malina asked with a grin.
Adrian nodded," Just because you say I'll be awesome so I guess I should show off my awesome talent." She joked.
Malina laughed," And you say I'm cocky!"
"Because you are!" Adrian exclaimed.
Malina scoffed," I'm not cocky, I just know I'm talented!" Malina laughed.
The oldest Lopez-Pierce rolled her eyes," Yeah sure, okay!"
Malina playfully pushed the girl," You totally make the part of Nessarose!"
Adrian giggled," Shut it!"
"Make me!" Malina exclaimed, laughing.
Adrian rolled her eyes playfully," So are we still good for later?"
Malina nodded," Of course! So I'll see you later?"
Adrian nodded," Yeah. Bye Malina!"
"Bye!"
Adrian stepped off the car and waved playfully to Malina and the Brazilian native laughed, something about Adrian always seemed to brighten her day.
~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~
Rowan walked angrily down the hallway as she saw Adara and Ethan holding hands and acting so sweet with each other. It shouldn't anger her, but it did. She regretted not giving Ethan a chance but she was too stubborn to admit it.
She walked over to the "couple" and grabbed Ethan and took him to an empty classroom," Hey! Could you not see I was with my girlfriend?" Ethan exclaimed.
She turned to him with an icy glare," What it your deal? One day you're head over heals over me, the next you're exchanging kisses with Strawberry Shortcake!"
Ethan smirked," Why should you care? You are the one that didn't want me so I did what I should do, move on." He looked at her," Are you jealous Rowan?" he asked.
Rowan scoffed," No! Why would I be jealous of you and Strawberry Shortcake? I would rather torture myself using medieval weapons than be jealous of you two!"
"You're totally jealous!" he exclaimed, laughing.
"Am not!" she protested.
"Are too!"
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
"You are so damn annoying!" she shouted.
"Don't you mean so damn sexy?" he said seductively with a wink.
Rowan blushed and turned the other way," Yeah right."
He turned her back to him," Admit it, you really want to kiss me right now as much as I want to kiss you."
Rowan shook her head," Not a chance!"
"Why not?" he asked.
"Too many flaws to point out."
"Name 3." He said.
Rowan nodded," Fine. One, you're not popular enough. Two, you're too annoying. And three, you're really scrawny, I like masculine guys." Rowan lied and then looked away from him and turned her heel and walked exited the classroom.
Ethan watched her leave, hurt. He looked down on himself, was he really that scrawny looking? Maybe that's why Rowan didn't want him, he wasn't popular enough or masculine. He was going to change that.
~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~
All the kids—plus the old New Directions were sitting in the choir room—staring at Adeline, Rowan, and Delilah who were wearing a long, bage trench coat and blue high heels. Something weird for them because they were accustomed to the polyester cheerio uniform on the 3 girls.
"Um girls, would you explain to us why you are wearing this outfit?" Mr. Schue asked.
Rowan grinned," We have a performance we want to do."
Mr. Schue grinned," Well would you like to do it now?"
The three looked at each other and nodded, walking to the center of the stage," We're going to be singing this song to a very special person." Adeline looked directly towards Mason and sent an icy glare.
Delilah whispered to the band the song and they nodded starting the song.
Adeline sang, You change your mind
Like a girl changes clothes, The girls took off their trench coats showing off their very sexy outfits. They were wearing a navy polka dot bralet and really short shorts that were ripped with blue high heels. They had blue feather drop earrings, blue and silver bangles, and a blue three strand necklace. They had red lipstick on and red eye shadow with their nails painted blue and their hair curled. The entire choir room mouths dropped. Finn and Puck were ready to grab their little girls from wearing such outfit. And all the boys were staring at the girl wearing such sexy outfits.
Yeah you, PMS
Like a bitch
I would know
And you over think
Always speak
Cryptically
I should know
That you're no good for me
The girls began dancing a perfectly choreographed routine and Aidan and Grayson stared at Delilah with wide eyes, they were thinking very dirty at the moment seeing Delilah move.
Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
(you) You don't really want to stay, no
(but you) But you don't really want to go-o
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down
Delilah and Rowan continued dancing while Adeline walked towards Mason and stood in front of him and gave him a wink while he squirmed in his seat, Adeline looked so…hot! And he felt he was going to die right there.
We used to be
Just like twins
So in sync, Adeline leaned seductively towards Mason, so close to kissing him as she sang.
The same energy
Now's a dead battery
Used to laugh bout nothing
Now you're plain boring
I should know that
You're not gonna change, Adeline smirked as she walked away from him and he sighed. The rest of the New Direction girls jumped from their seats and began dancing with the 3 girls and singing along.
Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
(you) You don't really want to stay, no
(but you) But you don't really want to go-o
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down, Adeline, Rowan, and Delilah shaked their hips sexily and the guys jaws dropped. (Mostly from Ethan, Mason, Grayson, and Aidan)
Someone call the doctor
Got a case of a love bi-polar
Stuck on a roller coaster
Can't get off this ride, The 3 girls sang together.
You change your mind
Like a girl changes clothes, Adeline sent a wink and a smirk towards Mason's direction. Mason felt uncomfortable; he knew why Adeline was singing this song.
Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
(you) You don't really want to stay, no
(but you) But you don't really want to go-o
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down, down... The girls finished the song and right away Finn, Puck, and Santana grabbed the girls' trench coats and put it over them.
"What the hell was that? You don't flounce around your body like a stripper!" Puck exclaimed to Delilah who turned red.
"Adeline cover yourself up! You can't just show off your body like Mimi from RENT!" Finn exclaimed, and then he surprised himself that he referenced a musical.
Santana stared sternly at Rowan," Rowan! You don't show off your body to these people. All these boys are horny and hormonal!"
Rowan rolled her eyes," Mami you're exaggerating! You guys did "Push it", "Toxic", and "Tik Tok" when you guys were in high school and it was way worse! So you're being hypocritical telling me this." Rowan retorted.
"Yes, but this was too much for a performance girls. The outfits are too showy and why would you perform this?" Mr. Schue asked.
"We wanted to show someone here that they can't toy with someone's feelings." Rowan answered.
"Well, never do a performance like that again. Take a seat." Mr. Schue ordered.
The girls smirked as they took a seat, "Mr. Schue they're smirking! Do something!" Finn exclaimed.
The girls stopped smirking and stared confusingly at Finn," What are you talking about poppy?" Adeline asked innocently.
Will sighed," Finn, Puck, Santana, take a seat."
Puck sent a glare at the boys," Stare at my daughter the way you did again and I'll cut your balls—"
"—Puck sit down!" Quinn yelled.
Puck huffed and took a seat and Delilah giggled. While Grayson and Aidan stared at Delilah and tried to control themselves. Ethan tried to avoid looking at Rowan and her long, tanned legs…he shook his head and looked away. And Mason looked down while he tried not to stare at Adeline who looked so…he snapped out of it and tried to pay attention to Mr. Schue talk.
~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~
Nikki approached Cheryl and grinned," Hey…you." She greeted.
Cheryl looked up and huffed as she rolled her eyes," Lost?"
"No, I found the right person." Nikki smirked.
"Well this person doesn't want you right now." Cheryl said.
"Wow surprisingly that turns me on. You're a turn on aren't you Cheryl?"
"Shut up."
"I'm only saying the truth! You're an instant turn-on Cheryl." Nikki stated.
"Can you be quiet?" Cheryl hissed.
"Do you want me to shout it? Okay, CHERYL IS AN INSTANT TURN—"Cheryl put her hand over Nikki's mouth.
"I told you to shut up!"
"I don't follow rules." Nikki muffled from Cheryl's hand.
"Well follow these!"
"I'm not whipped!" Nikki exclaimed." Now can you move your hand from my mouth?"
Cheryl rolled her eyes and took her hand away from Nikki's mouth," There."
Nikki laughed," So what are you doing?"
"Trying to think about what song I'm doing for my Wicked audition—but you're interrupting my thinking talking to me." Cheryl answered.
Nikki rolled her eyes," You're seriously doing Wicked still? Haven't you talked to your mom about what you really want to do?"
"I can't okay? I feel bad about it…besides, even though I don't want Broadway as a career doesn't mean I don't enjoy performing, I'm going for Madam Morrible because I don't want to get a huge part…" Cheryl trailed off.
Nikki nodded," My mom told me to be one of the dancers so I'm sure you'll see me around in rehearsals—if I go. "
Cheryl chuckled," You're really special aren't you?"
"I suppose so…but not as much as you…"
Cheryl blushed," Thank you."
"I'll see you later…Madam Morrible." Nikki joked.
Cheryl laughed as she watched Nikki leave, something about that girl…
~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~
The next day was the day of Wicked auditions. And those auditioning were nervous. Mr. Schue, Rachel, Harmony, and Kurt sat in the table of the auditorium and prepared for the auditions to begin.
"Okay so are we ready to start?" Will asked.
The other 3 nodded," Let the auditions begin." Rachel said.
Will nodded," Okay then, Mason Puckerman? " he said through the microphone." Did you guys know he was auditioning?"
The three shook their heads," We never thought in a million years that he would audition for a musical." Kurt answered.
Mason stood in the center of the stage with his hands in his pockets, he couldn't believe he was doing this. But as long as suspension wasn't the question, he'd do it.
"All right, Mason, what part will you be auditioning for?" Will asked.
Mason shrugged his shoulders," For whichever one. As long as I get a part." He answered.
Will nodded," What song will you be auditioning with?"
"'Over my head' by The Fray." Mason answered.
Will nodded," Begin when you're ready."
I never knew
I never knew that everything was falling through
That everyone I knew was waiting on a cue
To turn and run when all I needed was the truth
But that's how it's got to be
It's coming down to nothing more than apathy
I'd rather run the other way than stay and see
The smoke and who's still standing when it clears, Mason sang, pouring his heart and soul to the song.
Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind
Let's rearrange
I wish you were a stranger I could disengage
Just say that we agree and then never change
Soften a bit until we all just get along
But that's disregard
Find another friend and you discard
As you lose the argument in a cable car
Hanging above as the canyon comes between
Mason thought of Adeline as he sang the song, he'd really messed up with her, he always messed up with her and hurt her every single time.
Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind
Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind
The 4 looked at each other and grinned, they already knew he was good—but could he be good for a big part in Wicked?
And suddenly I become a part of your past
I'm becoming the part that don't last
I'm losing you and its effortless
Without a sound we lose sight of the ground
In the throw around
Never thought that you wanted to bring it down
I won't let it go down till we torch it ourselves
Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind, He finished the song and looked at the 4 for approval.
"That was good Mason, we'll let you know your part when we put the cast list." Rachel said.
Mason nodded and left, at least he was done with that.
~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~
"Next is, Aidan Flanagan!" Kurt said through the microphone. Harmony cheered and clapped and the 3 looked at her.
"What? I'm supporting my son! Can't I do that?" Harmony exclaimed.
The 3 laughed and Aidan stepped in the middle of the stage with his cheeky grin," Hello." He greeted happily.
"Hello Aidan, what part will you be auditioning for?" Kurt asked.
"I'll be auditioning for the part of Boq." Aidan answered.
"What song will you audition with?" Kurt asked.
"I'll be singing, 'Paradise' by Coldplay." He answered.
Kurt nodded and Aidan motioned the band to begin.
When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach so
She ran away in her sleep
And dreamed of
Para-para-paradise, Para-para-paradise, Para-para-paradise
Every time she closed her eyes, Aidan sang.
When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach
And the bullets catch in her teeth
Life goes on, it gets so heavy
The wheel breaks the butterfly
Every tear a waterfall
In the night the stormy night she'll close her eyes
In the night the stormy night away she'd fly
The 4 bobbed their heads to the song; Aidan was really good, although he was son of Harmony so they couldn't expect less. They thought he'd make a great Boq.
And dreams of
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh
She'd dream of
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh-oh
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
And so lying underneath those stormy skies
She'd say, "oh, ohohohoh I know the sun must set to rise"
This could be
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
This could be
Para-para-paradise
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh
This could be
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
This could be
Para-para-paradise
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh-oh, Aidan finished the song and the 4 clapped.
"Good job Aidan, we'll let you know." Kurt said.
Aidan nodded and stepped off the stage, he felt he did a pretty good job and would get the part of Boq.
~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~
"Orion Schuester!" Harmony called and Orion stepped to the middle of the stage. He was auditioning for his dad and because he grew up around Broadway since his dad was a fan of it—that and Journey.
"What part will you be auditioning for?" Harmony asked kindly.
"The Wizard." Orion answered.
Harmony nodded," Okay, what song will you be auditioning with?"
"I'm going to sing, 'I'm Alive' from the muisical Next To Normal."
Harmony nodded, and Orion nodded to the band to begin.
I am what you want me to be,
And I'm your worst fear
You'll find it in me.
Come closer...
Come closer...
I am more than memory
I am what might be,
I am mystery.
You know me
So show me, Orion sang.
When I appear it's
Not so clear if
I'm a simple spirit
Or I'm flesh and blood...
But I'm alive,
I'm alive,
I am so alive,
And I feed on the fear
That's behind your eyes.
And I need you
To need me
It's no surprise
I'm alive...
So alive...
I'm alive.
The 4 smiled as Orion sang, he was a good singer—though he was Will Schuester's son…he would make an amazing Wizard. The curly haired boy had talent.
I am flame and I am fire,
I am destruction,
Decay and desire
I'll hurt you...
I'll heal you...
I'm your wish,
Your dream come true,
And I am your darkest
Nightmare too
I've shown you...
I own you.
And though you made me,
You can't change me
I'm the perfect stranger
Who knows you too well.
Orion smiled, he loved singing and he would have a fun time with the musical.
And I'm alive,
I'm alive,
I am so alive,
And I'll tell you the truth
If you let me try.
You're alive,
I'm alive,
And I'll show why
I'm alive...
So alive...
I'm alive
I'm right behind you.
You say forget,
But I remind you.
You can try to hide,
You know that I will find you.
'Cause if you won't grieve me
You won't leave me behind...
Ah, ah, ah,
Whoa, oh, oh,
Whoa, oh, oh...
No, no, no
I'm alive,
I'm alive,
I am so alive,
If you climb on my back,
Then we both can fly.
If you try to deny me
I'll never die
I'm alive...
So alive...
I'm alive...
Yeah, yeah...
I'm alive...
I'm alive...
I'm alive...
I'm alive! Orion finished and the 4 nodded in approval.
"Good job Orion, we'll let you know the cast soon." Harmony said.
Orion nodded and smiled as he stepped off the stage, hopefully he had done a good job.
~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~
"Cheryl Hudson!" Rachel said excitingly with a smile.
Cheryl walked to the center of the stage with a smile," Hello, I'm Cheryl Hudson and I will be auditioning for the part of Madam Morrible and I will be singing, 'The Lonely' by Christina Perri."
Rachel smiled and nodded and Cheryl took a deep breath and began,
2 a.m., where do I begin?
Crying off my face again
The silent sounds of loneliness
Wants to follow me to bed
I'm a ghost of a girl that I want to be most
I'm the shell of a girl that I used to know well, Cheryl sang.
Dancing slowly in an empty room
Can the lonely take the place of you?
I sing myself a quiet lullaby
Let you go and let the lonely in to take my heart again
Too afraid to go inside
For the pain of one more loveless night
But the loneliness will stay with me
And hold me 'til I fall asleep
Cheryl put her entire heart and soul to the song, and she felt herself let go and just sing, sing for herself…
I'm a ghost of a girl that I want to be most
I'm the shell of a girl that I used to know well
Dancing slowly in an empty room
Can the lonely take the place of you?
I sing myself a quiet lullaby
Let you go and let the lonely in to take my heart again
The 4 looked appraisingly at Cheryl, she was an amazing singer and they couldn't expect nothing less from her, she was truly amazing. And she would make a great Madam Morrible.
Broken pieces of
A barely breathing story
Where there once was love
Now there's only me and the lonely
Dancing slowly in an empty room
Can the lonely take the place of you?
I sing myself a quiet lullaby
Let you go and let the lonely in to take my heart again, Cheryl finished the last note and looked at the 4 for approval of some sort.
"Amazing job Cher! We'll let you know as soon as possible!" Rachel said.
Cheryl smiled to her mother and walked off the stage feeling proud of her performance.
~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~
"Adrianna Lopez-Pierce!" Mr. Schue's voice rang throughout the auditorium.
Adrian took a deep breath, the only reason she was actually doing this was for Cheryl and…Malina. She smiled at the thought of Malina and walked to the center of the stage.
"I'm going to be auditioning for the part of Nessarose and I will be singing, 'No One' by Alicia Keys." Adrian said.
The curly-haired teacher nodded and Adrian sang,
I just want you close
Where you can stay forever
You could be sure
That it will only get better
You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don't worry 'cause
Everything's gonna be alright
People keep talking
They could say what they like
But all I know is
Everything's gonna be alright
Adrian thought of a certain Brazilian girl who had stole her heart recently. It was one of the reasons Adrian was even doing the musical in the first place!
And no one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel
For you, you, you
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
When the rain is pouring down
And my heart is hurting
You will always be around
This I know for certain
You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don't worry 'cause
Everything's gonna be alright
People keep talking
They could say what they like
But all I know is
Everything's gonna be alright
The 4 looked at each other and smiled, Adrian was good—they already knew that. But would she make a good Nessarose? She probably would…
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel
For you, you, you
Can get in the way of what I feel
I know some people search the world
To find something like what we have
I know people will try
Try to divide something so real
So 'til the end of time
I'm telling you there is
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh,Adrian finished the song and smiled proudly at herself.
"Good job Adrian, we'll let you know the cast soon." Will said.
Adrian nodded and smiled as she stepped off the stage, hopefully she would get the part—for Malina.
~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~
"You could do this Delilah." Delilah said to herself. "This is nothing compared to the performances you've done. You could do this." She assured herself.
"Delilah Puckerman!" Harmony called out.
Delilah bit her lip and walked to the center of the auditorium," Hello, I'm going to audition for the part of Glinda. And I will be singing, 'Popular' from the musical."
Harmony smiled and nodded as she was Glinda in Broadway with Rachel as Elphaba.
Delilah smiled and nodded to the band,
Whenever I see someone
Less fortunate than I
(And let's face it - who isn't
Less fortunate than I?)
My tender heart
Tends to start to bleed
And when someone needs a makeover
I simply have to take over
I know I know exactly what they need
And even in your case
Tho' it's the toughest case I've yet to face
Don't worry - I'm determined to succeed
Follow my lead
And yes, indeed
You will be, Delilah sang beautifully.
Popular!
You're gonna be popular!
I'll teach you the proper ploys
When you talk to boys
Little ways to flirt and flounce (Ooh!)
I'll show you what shoes to wear
How to fix your hair
Everything that really counts
To be popular
I'll help you be popular!
You'll hang with the right cohorts
You'll be good at sports
Know the slang you've got to know
So let's start
'Cause you've got an awfully long way to go, Delilah used the song to her advantage as she made comedic gestures and acted as blonde she could—even though she found it offensive to herself. As long as she got a couple chuckled from the four.
Don't be offended by my frank analysis
Think of it as personality dialysis
Now that I've chosen to be come a pal, a
Sister and adviser
There's nobody wiser
Not when it comes to popular -
I know about popular
And with an assist from me
To be who you'll be
Instead of dreary who-you-were are
There's nothing that can stop you
From becoming popu-Le- lar
La la la la
We're gonna make
You popular
When I see depressing creatures
With unprepossessing features
I remind them on their own behalf
To think of
Celebrated heads of state or
Specially great communicators
Did they have brains or knowledge?
Don't make me laugh! He,he!
The 4 found the blonde to be amazing! They knew she had an amazing voice and an amazing dancer but they never expected such amazing performance as this. She would make the perfect Glinda—and not because she was blonde.
They were popular! Please -
It's all about popular!
It's not about aptitude
It's the way you're viewed
So it's very shrewd to be
Very very popular
Like me!
And though you protest
Your disinterest
I know clandestinely
You're gonna grin and bear it
Your new found popularity
La la la la
You'll be popular -
Just not quite as popular
As me!, Delilah finished the last note and grinned to the audience who clapped.
"Very good job Delilah! We'll let you know!" Harmony exclaimed.
Delilah nodded and flashed them one last smile before walking off the stage. She had done amazing—she just knew it.
~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~
Adara walked in the auditorium and sighed, she hopefully would do good—she was going for the lead role…
"Adara Schuester!" Kurt shouted from the microphone.
Adara walked to the center of the stage and flashed them a show smile," Hello, I'm Adara Schuester and I will be auditioning for Elphaba. I will be singing, 'The Wizard and I' from Wicked."
Kurt nodded in approval and Adara smiled as the music began,
Did that really just happen?
Have I actually understood?
This weird quirk I've tried
To suppress or hide
Is a talent that could
Help me meet the Wizard
If I make good
So I'll make good
When I meet the Wizard,
Once I prove my worth,
And then I'll meet the Wizard
What I've waited for since,
(Since birth!)
And with all his Wizard wisdom,
By my looks, he won't be blinded
Do you think the Wizard is (dumb?)
Or, like Munchkins, so small-minded?
(No!) He'll say to me,
"I see who you truly are -
A girl on whom I can rely!"
And that's how we'll begin
The Wizard and I
Once I'm with the Wizard
My whole life will change
'Cuz once you're with the Wizard
No one thinks you're strange!
No father is not proud of you,
No sister acts ashamed
And all of Oz has to love you
When by the Wizard, you're acclaimed
And this gift or this curse
I have inside
Maybe at last, I'll know why
When we are hand in hand -
The Wizard and I!, Adara grinned while getting into the song, she was going to put her everything into this song. Whether or not she got the part, she wanted to at least know she did a good job trying to get it.
And one day, he'll say to me, "Elphaba,
A girl who is so superior,
Shouldn't a girl who's so good inside
Have a matching exterior?
And since folks here to an absurd degree
Seem fixated on your verdigris
Would it be all right by you
If I de-greenified you?"
And though of course,
That's not important to me
"All right, why not?" I'll reply
Oh, what a pair we'll be
The Wizard and I;
Yes, what a pair we'll be
The Wizard and...
Unlimited
My future is unlimited
And I've just had a vision
Almost like a prophecy
I know - it sounds truly crazy
And true, the vision's hazy
But I swear, someday there'll be
A celebration throughout Oz
That's all to do with me!
4 mouths gaped as they heard her sing, they knew Adara was good—but not this good. She would make a good—great Elphaba!
And I'll stand there with the Wizard,
Feeling things I've never felt
And though I'd never show it,
I'd be so happy, I could melt!
And so it will be
For the rest of my life,
And I'll want nothing else
Till I die
Held in such high esteem
When people see me, they will scream
For half of Oz's favorite team;
The Wizard
And I!, Adara belted the last note and grinned, looking at the 4 for approval.
"Amazing job Adara! That was amazing! We'll let you know soon whether you get the part or not." Harmony told her.
Adara nodded and smiled as she walked off the stage, she had the part in the bag—she just knew it.
~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~
Adeline stared from behind the stage with her mouth gaped, Adara had done a good—scratch that amazing job! How was she supposed to compete with that? She had practiced her audition song so many times she lost count. But she was feeling that even that wouldn't help her…
"Adeline Hudson!" she heard her mother's voice ring through her ears and she took a breath and put on her best grin as she walked to the center of the stage.
"Hello, I'm Adeline Hudson and I will be auditioning for the part of Elphaba. And I will singing, 'No Good Deed' from the Broadway musical, Wicked."
Rachel smiled, her daughter was a lot like her, she nodded to her youngest and Adeline grinned and nodded to the band.
Fiyero!
Eleka nahmen nahmen
Ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen
Eleka nahmen nahmen
Ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen
Let his flesh not be torn
Let his blood leave no stain
When they beat him
Let him feel no pain
Let his bones never break
And however they try
To destroy him
Let him never die
Let him never die
Eleka nahmen nahmen
Ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen
Eleka nahmen nahmen
Ah tum ah tum eleka eleka ugh!
What good is this chanting?
I don't even know what I'm reading!
I don't even know what trick I ought to try
Fiyero, where are you?
Already dead of bleeding.
One more disaster I can add to my
Generous supply?
No good deed goes unpunished
No act of charity goes unresented
No good deed goes unpunished
That's my new creed
My road of good intentions
Led where such roads always lead
No good deed
Goes unpunished!
Nessa
Doctor Dillamond
Fiyero
Fiyero!, Adeline sang, she was putting her all into the song—releasing her inner Barbra as she would like to call it. She was determined to get this part. It was one of her dream roles…though she did have many…
One question haunts and hurts
Too much, too much to mention:
Was I really seeking good
Or just seeking attention?
Is that all good deeds are
When looked at with an ice-cold eye?
If that's all good deeds are
Maybe that's the reason why
The 4 all looked at each other with their mouths opened. They knew Adeline was good—she was Rachel's daughter. But they never expected her to sing like this! This was something new from Adeline. She was hitting and holding notes easily. She would also make an amazing Elphaba.
No good deed goes unpunished
All helpful urges should be circumvented
No good deed goes unpunished
Sure, I meant well -
Well, look at what well-meant did
All right, enough - so be it
So be it, then
Let all Oz be agreed
I'm wicked through and through
Since I can not succeed
Fiyero, saving you
I promise no good deed
Will I attempt to do again
Ever again
No good deed
Will I do again!, Adeline finished the song and the 4 clapped and Adeline smiled.
"Amazing job Adeline! We'll let you know soon the cast list!" Rachel told her daughter.
Adeline smiled softly at her mom and everyone else and stepped of the stage. She had done well—she hopefully was good enough for the part of Elphaba…
~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~
Auditions were over and Will, Kurt, Harmony, and Rachel sat in Mr. Schuester's office to discuss who would be the cast of Wicked.
"Well why don't we start with who could play Boq?" Will suggested.
"Okay, well I'm not just saying this because he's my son, but Aidan did a wonderful performance and he would make a great Boq!" Harmony said.
The other 3 nodded in agreement," He was pretty amazing…" Kurt trailed off.
"He does have a background in theatre and is an amazing singer; I think we found our Boq!" Will exclaimed, writing down Aidan's name for Boq.
"Okay, how about Nessarose?" Kurt asked. "There were good singers…but I liked one in particular…"
"Who? Because there was one I liked too." Rachel asked.
Kurt grinned," Adrian. Though she does have more of a soulful voice—it seems to fit with her character. And she would make an amazing Nessarose. But that's just my opinion."
"I liked her too! She was definitely amazing and she should definitely be Nessarose. What do you two think?" Rachel agreed, then looking at Will and Harmony.
"She was pretty good. Nessarose seems to fit her." Harmony agreed.
Will grinned," We just found our Nessa!" Will exclaimed, writing down Adrian's name for Nessarose.
"Okay, how about the Wizard—I think it should be Orion. He was really good. Not just because he's your son Mr. Schue but he does have a good voice—not to mention he starred in a play or two." Rachel said.
Kurt and Harmony nodded in agreement," Plus he owned 'I'm Alive'. It was amazing!" Kurt added.
Will smiled proudly," Orion was pretty good. Not just because he's my son! But we just found our Wizard!" he said, writing Orion's name for the Wizard, "Now how about Madam Morrible?"
"Okay, I'm not saying this because she is my daughter, but Cheryl did a good job in her audition. She did learn from me so she would make a good Madam Morrible. It's a good start for her Broadway career." Rachel answered.
"She was good. Cheryl is an amazing singer, and she could do a Madam Morrible because—don't get mad Rachel—she can be a bitch. And Madam Morrible is one." Kurt agreed.
Will chuckled," We found our Madam Morrible!" he exclaimed, writing Cheryl's name for Madam Morrible.
The 4 talked about who would play Dorothy and Dr. Dillamond and quickly chose the people they found best.
"Okay, so how about our Male lead: Fiyero?" Kurt asked.
Rachel bit her lip," We got a lot of Fiyero auditions, but the one that had my attention was Mason's. He has a good voice that would fit Fiyero's character. Plus he has that cocky attitude that's a lot like Fiyero's. What are your thoughts?"
"Yes, that's true. But we all know his reputation as careless and rebellious…" Harmony said.
Kurt nodded," That may be true but he seemed pretty determined to do this musical. He wouldn't audition just for the hell of it."
Will nodded," He does make a good Fiyero. He's definitely our Fiyero." Will said, writing Mason's name for Fiyero.
Harmony grinned excitingly," Okay, not for Glinda! I personally think Delilah was amazing. I know her to be a marvelous and well-trained dancer but she really gave a spectacular performance. She really got into it and acted very Glinda. And she has an amazing voice. I give my approval for her as Glinda!"
Kurt nodded excitingly in approval, "I agree with you 100%! She was very good. And if she's not Glinda, I don't know who else could do it!" Kurt said.
Rachel nodded," She was very good and I know Delilah and she showed she's more than a dancer—she's a performer."
"Then we have found our Glinda! One of our main characters!" Will agreed, writing Delilah's name for Glinda.
They all looked at each other," And now…Elphaba." Rachel stated.
Everyone bit their lip," I'm torn between Adara and Adeline. They both gave astounding performances. I can't pick just one of them. They both have strong voices that would make a good Elphaba." Harmony said.
Kurt nodded," They both showed major potential to be Elphaba. I'm not going to say no to that. But we can't have them share the part. It will only be a Mercedes vs. Rachel senior year repeat. Only one of them can have the part."
Rachel huffed," But who? They're both so good. But I'll say one thing, I've seen Adeline performed thousands of times, but this performance was her best performance. It was something different from what we're use to. But Adara we know her for being one of our powerhouse singers as Aaron. She showed us she could be an Elphaba. I'm torn. Two talented girls but only one Elphaba." Rachel turned to Will," What do you think Mr. Schue?"
Will sighed," I agree. They both show amazing potential. But we could only pick one. And in situations like these we have to do what glee usually does…"
"You done mean…" Kurt trailed off.
Will nodded," We're having a diva-off."
~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~
The next day, glee kids sat in the choir room and Delilah turned to Adeline and bit her lip.
"I'm nervous." She said.
"Why?" Adeline asked.
"What if I didn't get Glinda? It's so nerve-racking!" Delilah exclaimed.
Adeline chuckled," I'm sure you did amazing! You probably got the part in the bag! I'm nervous about me, so many Elphaba's tried out and I don't even know if I was even good compared to the rest…especially…Adara." Adeline replied, whispering Adara's name.
Delilah smiled sympathetically," I'm sure you were amazing, you were born for that role!"
Rowan turned to the girls," Hold up, Wendy's there tried out for Elphaba?" Rowan asked.
The two girls nodded and Rowan rolled her eyes," Well I'm rooting for you Adeline. You better get it! That ginger better not get it." Rowan said icily.
Delilah and Adeline chuckled," Still don't want to admit you like Ethan?" Delilah asked.
Rowan sent the two a glare while in the other side of the choir room Adara was biting her lip she felt she was going to draw blood," Adara calm down! You have the part in the bag!" Ethan assured.
"Yeah, well there were others that were probably way better than me! Like Adeline for instance! She was raised with Broadway! Her mom, a Broadway star and Harmony, another Broadway star trained her, how good do you think she is? She's amazing! Elphaba is pretty much her!" Adara exclaimed.
"Yes, but you're good too. You're a powerhouse singer Dara, you got this." Ethan assured again.
Adara bit her lip but nodded," If you say so…but what if—"
"—no Adara! Don't 'What if'! You got this!" Ethan exclaimed.
Adara chuckled," Okay…"
Orion chuckled at her sister," Dara, you're a good singer, I don't even know why you're worried."
Adara turned to her brother," Says the boy who has the part of Wizard. You pretty much have the part!" she exclaimed.
Orion rolled his eyes," Just calm down and accept what fate gives you."
"Well fate better give me the part of Elphaba." Adara replied.
On another spot, Adrian was shaking her leg and tapping her fingers in her leg. She hoped she got the part of Nessarose. Cheryl stared at her and chuckled.
"You're nervous aren't you?" Cheryl asked.
Adrian nodded," I didn't think I'd want this part so badly but I do!"
Cheryl played with the hem of her vintage skirt," Well that's show business Adri. Welcome!"
Adrian chuckled," How are you not nervous?"
"Because, I tried out for a small role and I was still amazing so I pretty much have the role already!" Cheryl answered.
"Well I am. I really hope I get it…" Adrian said.
"For Malina?" Cheryl replied with a wink.
Adrian rolled her eyes," No! Just…because…"
In another place in the choir room, Aidan was talking with Oliver," So you think you got the part of Boq?" Oliver asked.
Aidan shrugged his shoulders," Maybe. I think I did a good job though, so I think I did get the part."
"Well I'm rooting for you!" Oliver patted the freshman's back and Aidan laughed.
"Nice to know." He stared over at Delilah who had tried out for Glinda. Ironic really, he auditioned for Boq who's in love with Glinda and he's in the same situation with Delilah.
On the other hand, Mason was pretty careless which part he got. He just didn't want a suspension.
Will walked in with Rachel, Kurt, and Harmony and grinned," Hello everyone! I notice some of you are pretty nervous whether you got the part you wanted in Wicked or not. Well we have almost the cast list completed, but we are sort of stuck who are Elphaba will be. And our two choices are sitting in this room right now…" Will said.
Everyone's eyes turned to Adeline and Adara who turned red and looked down," Well it seems you guys got our two choices right! We are deciding between Adeline and Adara. And since we can't pick who our Elphaba should be, we decided to do something…" Will paused and looked at them," A diva-off."
Everyone cheered because they were about to have their very first diva-off. Will and the other 3 grinned at the choir room's excitement.
"You two will sing a song we chose for this diva-off and whoever we think sang it better will get the part." Will explained, handing a sheet with the song to Adara and Adeline.
The two girls looked down at the sheet and Adeline grinned," Barbra, I could do it in my sleep." Adeline said.
Adara smiled," So can I. I know this song like the back of my hand." She beamed proudly.
Will grinned at the two girls," So I can assume you guys can do this song after school?"
The two girls nodded and Will clapped his hands," Diva-off. After school. Everyone will be there. Your parents will also be here for the diva-off. Let's get excited guys!" Will exclaimed.
~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~
School ended and everyone was at the auditorium for the diva-off between Adeline and Adara for the role of Elphaba. The girls were both wearing a pink tattoo rose dress with black flats and a bracelet. The only difference was that Adeline had her gold star necklace on and a pink bow and Adara had a pink rose headband and a peace sign necklace.
Oliver walked towards Adara and grinned," Hey."
"Hi." She greeted.
"You nervous?" he asked.
"Very." She answered.
"I'm sure you'll do good," he leaned closer to her," I'm rooting for you." He whispered.
Adara felt butterflies form in her stomach and smiled," Thank you."
He smiled back," I'll see you up in that stage." He said.
She nodded," Okay." He grinned and then turned and left Adara alone.
Then the two girls, Adeline and Adara walked towards each other," I was looking for you actually." Adara said.
"So was I." Adeline replied.
"I just wanted to say that no matter what happens out there, whoever gets the part clearly deserved it. So no hard feelings?" Adara told her.
Adeline smiled," I was going to say that too. And I think we would be amazing friends, you and I both show we have talent if we're fighting for the role of Elphaba. You're the powerhouse diva and I'm the Broadway diva. We should stick together."
Adara grinned," I'm glad. So, friends?"
Adeline nodded," Friends."
The two shared a quick hug and grinned," Good luck out there." Adara told her.
"You too. Best of luck." Adeline replied.
"And may the best—"
"—Elphaba win."
Someday, Adara sang
Somewhere,
We'll find a new way of living, Adeline sang
Will find a way of forgiving, Adara sang
Somewhere...The two harmonized together.
There's a place for us
Somewhere a place for us
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us
Somewhere, Adeline sang, putting her whole into the song.
There's a time for us
Someday there'll time for us
Time together and time to spare
Time to learn, time to care
Someday, Adara sang, singing the song with everything she could.
Somewhere, Adeline belted
We'll find a new way of living, Adeline sang
Will find there's a way of forgiving, Adara sang
Somewhere...Adeline sang
Somewhere…Adara sang
Somewhere… the two harmonized together
There's a place for us
A time and place for us
Hold my hand and we're half way there
Hold my hand and I'll take you there, The two sang together holding hands and smiling at each other, belting the notes together and simply owning the song.
Somehow...Adara belted
Someday, Adeline belted
Somewhere... The two sang together. They finished the song and everyone in the auditorium clapped and cheered. The two girls had done justice to the song, but there could only be one Elphaba…
"Well we certainly have our work cut out for us." Will said to Rachel, Harmony, and Kurt who nodded in agreement.
~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~
The 4 went to the bulletin board with the cast sheet in Will's hands and hanged it up. Will, Rachel, Harmony, and Kurt all looked at each other and nodded, walking away from the board.

Aidan grinned proudly as he had gotten the part of Boq like he had wanted he threw his fist in the air and cheered.
Orion smiled as he saw he got the part of the Wizard—he'd already known he'd gotten it but actually seeing it felt pretty good.
Cheryl smirked, she'd already known the part was hers. She was Cheryl Hudson and Cheryl always got the parts she wanted.
Adrian smiled to herself that she had gotten Nessarose. She wanted the part badly and now that she got it she was very happy with herself. She made herself, Cheryl, and Malina proud.
Mason's eyes widened as he saw the part that he got…Fiyero. From what he found out it was the male lead. How the hell was he supposed to be the male lead? He was going to settle for 'Guy #3' or something like that, but lead? That was something…
Delilah squealed as she had gotten Glinda, she was one of the lead roles in the musical, she felt she was more than a dancer now, she felt she was now a performer. She felt so proud of herself.
Adara walked to the bulletin board and looked for the role of Elphaba…only it wasn't her name on the list…it was Adeline's. Her blue eyes turned sad and she frowned, she didn't get the part…
Adeline walked up to the bulleting board and saw Adara looking sad and put her hand on her shoulder and smiled at her and Adara smiled softly," Congrats."
Adeline's eyes widened," You don't mean—"
The redhead nodded," You got the part Elphaba."
Adeline looked at the list and there was her name, she'd done it. She was Elphaba. She grinned," I can't believe it." She said.
Adara smiled," I'm happy for you. If anyone could've gotten the part, I'm glad it was you."
Adeline smiled at the girl," Thank you."
"Just make sure to save me a seat for opening night." Adara said.
Adeline nodded," Of course. I would want my friend to see me."
Adara grinned," Friend…I like the sound of it…"
The brunette giggled and hugged Adara," Thanks again."
"Can you believe Mason got the part of Fiyero? That certainly is a jaw dropper…" Adara said.
Adeline's eyes quickly shifted to the list and there it was, Mason's name as Fiyero," No…" she said to herself. He couldn't be the male lead. Not him! "I'm so screwed."
