"So Tyler, are you exited about the football game tomorrow night?" Rachel asked him, breaking him out of his thoughts of Kelly Donovan and her remarkable mouth.
"Yeah, sure…" He replied.
"That's not really convincing…" Caroline frowned.
"The new coach is not as good as Tanner… We know we don't stand a chance at winning… Plus, there's some sort of bug running around school and half the team is sick and won't be able to play!" Matt replied.
"Tell me about it… The cheerleading team is cut in half also! Elena and Bonnie are both sick and I don't know how we're going to do a decent half time show this way!" Caroline said.
"Maybe the Glee club could join you… We could do something super cool! Oh, maybe the football team could do something with us too! Kind of like showing everyone that even when people are down we still kick ass!" Rachel said.
"You sound so hot when you say 'Kick ass'!" Tyler said as he wrapped his arm around her waist, making Rachel roll her eyes before she kissed him on the lips.
"It could work…" Matt said.
"Yes, it's a good idea…" Caroline said before she added "What did you have in mind?"
"How about a mash up of Thriller and Heads will roll? I can almost see it happening in my head right now and let me tell you, we rock!" Rachel suggested happily and excitedly.
"Great! Let's suggest it to Mister Salzmann right now! We have very little time to rehearse!" Caroline said as they got up, kissed their boyfriends and ran off.
.
In 15 minutes, both Mister Salzmann and the football coach agreed and the repetition was planed the same day after school.
They all stayed very late to make sure everything was ready. Only the Glee kids would really sing but the other still had to dance and do the chorus. A lot of the Glee club was sick too so in the end, not many people were going to have to do the number.
"We're going to rock this thing!" Rachel said excitedly as they all walked toward their cars.
"Yeah, too bad Elena and Bonnie are sick, they would have loved to be a part of this!" Caroline said.
"So, tomorrow after the game there's a party at my place." Tyler said.
"I thought it was supposed to be some Council meeting or something." Matt said.
"I know but mom changed her mind… Don't ask me, I gave up on understanding that woman years ago!" Tyler said, lifting his hands in surrender.
"My father told me it's going to be some sort of charity exhibit of objects that belonged to the Founders of the town." Rachel said.
"Oh… Sounds about right!" Tyler said, shrugging his shoulders.
"Why were you mentioning it?" Caroline asked.
"To make sure you'll come... It could be fun!" He replied.
They all went home and after a quick dinner, Rachel went to bed. She felt that something was wrong with Tyler, like his mind was somewhere else but she put it aside. If he needed to speak to her about something he would do it.
.
The next day, everyone at school was very exited for the game and the half time show.
"So, Are you all ready?" Alaric asked them as they were dressed up in their Zombie costumes. The girls had cheerleading outfits while the boys had old football jersey on top of their special make up.
"Let's do this!" Jeremy said, hoping his Aunt Jenna had lied when she said she had brought her camera to immortalise this show.
They all walked on the field and took their position when the music started. They even managed to get a couple of smock machines working.
Seeing her father in the crowed, next to The Lockwood's, Bill and Liz Forbes, Rachel smirked. Her father would definitely love this show.
RACHEL:
Off with your head
Dance dance dance 'til you're dead
Off Off Off with your head
Dance dance dance 'til you're dead
Off Off Off with your head
Stefan was in the crowed, a few row behind the human Salvatore and the rest of the council. He was hoping to be able to see his brother tonight and see why he wanted him out of town so badly but apparently, he wasn't there. Well, he still had time to watch Rachel and the other perform. He knew Elena would criticise everything later, even if she wasn't here to see it. He had to admit though, it looked good. He wished he hadn't quite the team now… He could have been on the field along with them right now…
JEREMY:
It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark
Under the moonlight, you see a sight that almost stops your heart
Damon couldn't help but be proud of his daughter. He knew she was the one who came up with this number so close to the game and who arranged for everything… She really could do anything she wanted as long as she put her mind to it.
"She's great! They all are!" Bill Forbes said. He was seating right next to Damon, his old friend.
"Yeah, she always manages to surprise me!" Damon replied.
MATT, TYLER, JEREMY:
You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it
"I'm glad Rachel and Caroline are friends! It's a good change for Care… Not that I have anything against Elena and Bonnie… But I think a little change is always good!" Bill added.
"True." Damon said. He was glad that Bill's presence seemed to be stopping Liz's flirting but he coupld help but feel self couscious... Wasn't Bill checking him out earlier? He really hoped not!
CAROLINE:
Heads will roll, Heads will roll.
Rachel was enjoying being part of this big show. In the crowed, she could see Kelly, Matt's mother… Well, maybe she was trying to make an effort for her son then… Maybe she did deserve a second chance…But then why didn't she looke at him? Why was she looking at Tyler?
MATT, TYLER:
You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes
JEREMY:
You're paralyzed
The crowed was cheering and it was exhilarating for everyone. Tyler realised that Kelly was here and he couldn't keep his eyes off of her… Could he manage to have a little one on one time with her without Rachel finding out tonight? Was it really wrong of him to find some release elsewhere?
EVERYONE:
'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
TYLER:
And no one's gonna save you from the beast about strike
The rehearsed dance moves seemed to please to crowed. They were all cheering very loudly.
EVERYONE:
You know it's thriller, thriller night
MATT:
You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight
Kelly was pretty happy. She was having a good time and her son's friend seemed to be pretty into her… Maybe she could keep on having a good time with him and use him to get some money… Maybe she could convince him to pay for her room in town or something… But even if he refused, she was sure she could get a couple more hours of fun time with him before he started to feel bad about it…After all, weren't teenage boys ruled by their hormones?
RACHEL:
Off with your head
Dance dance dance 'til you're dead
Off Off Off with your head
Dance dance dance 'til you're dead
Alaric was proud of the Glee club but his mind was someplace else… Elena Gilbert… She obviously was human, he had checked it but if she was, then who changed his wife? He swore Elena was the portrait of the vampire that changed Isobel that night but she hadn't burned when he sprayed vervain on her 'by accident'. The answer was in this town, he was sure of it but he didn't know how to get it… He remembered a name that had been in Isobel's researches… Damon Salvatore changed in 1864 but according to what Isobel had written, he hadn't replied when she had tried to contact him… Maybe he should go and ask Rachel's father to see what this was all about…He had to be in on the secret right? Maybe he would finally find some answers about his wife and what happened to her.
CAROLINE:
You hear the door slam and realize there's nowhere left to run
You feel the cold hand and wonder if you'll ever see the sun
Caroline couldn't help but think that Matt was hot right now… They were slowly moving forward and she was glad that he didn't care about what his mother seemed to think of her. Why did she hate her and her family right now?
MATT:
You close your eyes and hope that this is just imagination
Matt had noticed his mother but he also noticed that he wasn't the one she was looking at. Why was she looking at Tyler like she was hungry and he was the biggest hamburger around?
GIRLS:
Heads will roll, Heads will roll!
The crowed was cheering again. They were very good and everyone was enjoying this half time show.
TYLER:
But all the while you hear the creature creeping up behind
You're out of time
"I might hire Rachel when re-elections comes! She seems to have a gift to know what pleases the crowed!" Richard told Damon.
"She's like Tinkerbelle, she needs applause to live!" Damon said, half joking. Rachel had told him this once when she was young and she couldn't sing because she was sick.
EVERYONE:
thriller, thriller night
JEREMY:
There ain't no second chance against the thing with forty eyes, girl
Jenna was taping Jeremy with a camera and was pretty happy. He seemed to have given up on drugs since he joined the Glee club and she knew that his new teacher, Alaric Salzmann was helping him change. She remembered seeing him at the Grill a few days ago and having a good time with him… Maybe she should give him a chance… He was good looking after all and would be a good role model for Jeremy…
EVERYONE:
Thriller, thriller night
MATT:
You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight
"So Damon, I was wondering if you'd like to have dinner with me sometime... You know catch up and everything..." Bill whispered to Damon, making sure nobody else could hear them.
"Hum... Sure... Maybe you could introduce your boyfriend to me!" Damon replied. He had plaed slightly... He wasn't flirting right? He had a boyfriend right?
"Oh, we broke up a while ago!" Bill replied before he concentrated on caroline singing.
"Oh...hum... You know I don't... You know I like women right?" Damon replied, looking at his daughter.
"Oh... Of course I do!" Bill replied, visibly disapointed.
CAROLINE:
Off with your head
Dance dance dance 'til you're dead
Off Off Off with your head
Dance dance dance 'til you're dead
"Hey Damon, I was wondering if you wanted to have dinner with me sometime next week..." Liz whispered to Damon then.
He wondered briefly what it was with the Forbes that had them all over him... Didn't Caroline flrit with his young self too?
"Oh hum... I... Sure, why not... It's always good to have dinner with friends! Rachel and I would love to have dinner with Caroline and you!" Damon replied, deciding not to shut her out but to take his distences.
"Oh... great! I'll arrange it tomorrow and keep you posted!" Liz replied, unable to hide the disapointment from her voice.
TYLER:
Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize y'alls neighbourhood
Kelly was getting very horny... Tyler had such a sexy voice when he sung that! Did he have to hold his girlfriend so close while they danced though?
RACHEL:
Heads will roll, Heads will roll
Heads will roll, Heads will roll
Stefan had to admit that the more he watched Rachel, the more he was impressed by her. Also the more he watched her the more he realised that she reminded him of Damon. It had to be because he's her father's godfather right? Or maybe the reason why Damon is so interested in her was that he had a child back when they were human and they were from his bloodline… Who knew… It was his brother they were talking about here!
TYLER:
And though you fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver
For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the thriller
Anna was in the crowed, watching everything and everyone. She had decided that she would get closer to Jeremy Gilbert to have an alibi to hang around everyone but the person she really targeted was Rachel Salvatore. For some reason Damon cared about her so she would hurt her…
The plan was clear in Anna's head… It would be easy really… She would start by flirting with Tyler Lockwood and make sure they get caught in a compromising position by Rachel… If seeing the girl heartbroken wasn't enough to convince Damon to help her then she would take drastic measures and kidnap the girl! She wasn't against torturing the help out of them!
EVERYONE:
'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
Girl, I can thrill you more than any ghost would ever dare try
Thriller, thriller night
So let me hold you tight and share a killer, thriller, tonight
Damon had noticed Anna earlier and worried when he couldn't see her again but he decided to put it aside. He couldn't blame her for wanting her mother back and so he wouldn't do anything to step in her way as long as she left him and his daughter alone.
CAROLINE AND RACHEL:
Off with your head
Dance dance dance 'til you're dead
Off Off Off with your head
Dance dance dance 'til you're dead
Off Off Off with your head
When they were done and the music stopped, everyone clapped and stood to cheer on them. They all hugged each other before they walked off the field. The football players went to change back so they could play and the girls simply took their make up off and changed into 'normal' clothes.
They came back just in time for the second half of the game to be played.
So, this was a long one... What do you think?
Liked it? Hated it?
Don't forget to review!
This is a very long chapter (that couldn't be cut in half) so I won't be updating for a while (don't worry, no more than a week)... But the more you guys review and the faster I will update!
