Glee Club
I'm sitting down on the piano in choir room next to Sam as Mr. Schue is busy counting us one by one. "Six, seven, eight, nine..Uh, are, are Joe and Sugar here?" Mr. Schue asks us.
"Present, Mr. Schue." Sugar and Joe walk in and smile at us.
"Great. Okay. Guys, I have finalized our set list. We are going with I Love It by Icona Pop." Mr. Schue says to us.
"I dont care! I love it!" I said happily.
"Yes. Hall of Fame by The Script and will. I. am. And Marley's original song All or Nothing." Mr. Schue grins at us as we are cheering together.
"Hey, Mr. Schue, what about my original song?" Brittany suddenly walks in and walk to the seat row. "Do you remember? My cup, my cup Sayin' "What's up?" To my cup, my cup more of a friend..."
"My Cup is one of a kind, but we're going with Marley's song." Mr. Schue says to Btittany.
"Oh, come on, boo. Two thumbs down. The only way to polish that turd of a song is with my angelic alto voice." Brittany says proudly.
"Whoa." Jake raises his eyebrows.
"So I demand to sing it as a solo. And I demand to sing all the good songs as solos.
Everyone can snap their fingers and march around behind me. Tina, please make an exact replica of Jennifer Lawrence's Oscar dress." Brittany says to us and points at Tina.
"Um, no." Tina frowns and shakes her head.
"Um yes. Let me break it down. No one in this musty choir room compares to my megawatt star power. Blaine, you're shorter than your average lawn gnome.
Joe, you look like a spider monkey. Tina is you know, she's Tina." Brittany says to us.
Sam stand up from his seat and walk to Brittany. "Wait, baby. Baby, I love you, but you're really out of line, here. And would you stop texting? I'm trying to talk to you, it's really rude." Sam says to Brittany as she keeps looking at her phone until Sam takes his phone from his pocket. "Did you seriously just break up with me? By a text?" Sam asks Brittany.
"Yeah. As fascinated as I am by your down-filled, pillow-soft lips that are ten times too big for your face, I really miss my sweet, sweet lady kisses. Sorry/not sorry." Brittany says to Sam and walk to the door. "Moving on, I repeat: I require all the solos. That's just the way it's gonna be." Brittany says to us.
"Brittany, why are you doing this?" Mr. Schue frowns at her.
"Well, I'm just living your lesson, Mr. Schue. It's all or nothing. All or nothing!" Brittany yelled and walk out from the choir room.
I raise my eyebrows and frowns. What the hell wrong with that girl? She gone away to MIT and then when she went back here, she become like that and it's kinda worst. Seriously. I never want to be a scientist, I guess.
"Alright, everyone. Mike already waiting for us in auditorium and let's have rehearsal for the choreography." Mr. Schue says to us.
The others nodded and went out from the choir room and bring their ransel. I take my bagpack and went out from the choir room and walk straight to auditorium. I dont need to change my outfit for choreography rehearsal since I'm always wearing my cheerios uniform and I love it.
"Hey, Mike." I walk enter the auditorium and place my bagpack on the ground.
"Hey, I got something to talk to you. I knew someone who can give you and Jake scholarship to Joffrey Ballet." Mike says to me.
"I'm just a sophomore." I chuckle. "But thanks. Well, I havent thinking about Joffrey but Juilliard is on my first list." I grin at him.
"Nice plan." Mike grins back at me.
The others finally walk into this auditorium one by one. Include Kitty who pushes Artie wheelchair. I feel like something strange happened between them but I dont know what is that. I have to find out I guess.
"Alright, everyone from the top." Mike says to us. "Twins." Mike points at Jake and I.
Jake and I walk to the front to teach them about the choreography. Jake and I went to dance class every week. And Mercedes asked Jake to be her backup dancer for her music video and Jake said yes. Well, I just wanna improve my dance skill until I can get into dance school.

I'm standing in front of my locker and looking at my locker door as I'm just sticking some letters wrote 'Ryder' on my locker door with a smile emoticon. Nobody knows about this but I'm crazy about him now and I cant deny that I'm really-really in love.
"I see you." Ryder suddenly tickle me from behind.
I shocked and shut my locker quickly then turn my face at him. "Hi..." I giggle.
"What was that?" Ryder raises his eyebrows at me.
"What what?" I raise my eyebrows.
"You were looking at your locker and smiling like an i***t. What is inside your locker?" Ryder asks me.
"Nothing." I giggle.
"Okay if you dont wanna tell me. So 'I never hide anything from you' is a lie. Oh also 'I never lie to you' is also a lie." Ryder simply said and open his locker next to me.
"Rydie..." I grin at him and hold his hand. "Dont mad at me. It's kind of embarassing." I said to him.
"I told you everything now you dont wanna tell me something?" Ryder turn his face at me.
"It's kinda embarassing." I said to him.
"I wont tell." Ryder grins at me.
"Promise me?" I raise my eyebrows.
"I promise." Ryder nodded.
"Okay." I mumbled and open my locker door slowly then show that word to him.
"That's cute. And I didnt see that yesterday." Ryder says to me.
"I just sticked it. You had my photos on your side table in your room and I guess I should mark my stuff with your name so I put it on my locker because if I place your picture on my side table, people will think that your Jake's boyfriend or the worst, Jake will doddling your picture." I said to Ryder. "Okay enough. This is kinda embarassing because I'm not type of cute girlfriend one." I said and shut my locker.
"And you know what? You're the cutest one for me." Ryder smiles at me.
"That's disgusting for me." I laugh. "Well, I have my dance class right now. So I will call you when I get home and dont tell anyone about my locker." I grin at him.
"Want me to drive you?" Ryder asks me.
"No. I can take a walk. I wanna exercise. And I'm not lazy like you." I simply said.
"Okay you better go before you start mocking me." Ryder simply said and turn his face to his locker.
"I hate you." I kiss his cheek and turn my way and walk away.
"I hate you more!" Ryder shouts.
I turn my face and laugh. Ryder just laugh at me and shake his head then wave me a goodbye. I wave him a goodbye and hold my bagpack and walk away to go out from McKinley and walk to my dance studio.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Regionals
"Here it's done." I said to Ryder and fix his purple tie for regional costume.
"You look beautiful today." Ryder give me a quick kiss on my lips.
Today is Regionals championship. And honor it would be because regionals today is held in McKinley auditorium and it's really cool since last year they also held regionals here and we will continue it again and we will have our regional dynasty.
Now we are in backstage and waiting for the show. I'm just standing near the vanity mirror and holding Ryder's cardigan for the show just like his wife. Literally. But I dont mind with that.
"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to the 2013. Greater Midwest High School Show Choir Regionals. Now, please raise the roof for our distinguished panel of judges. Executive Director of Ohio State Supermax Penitentiary. Warden William Bobby! Wrongfully accused football legend. Coach "Fingers" Shafranski. And Indiana's number one circus contortionist.
Lady Marvelous! First up, their parents are rich and their voices are golden From Ziegler Prep in Cincinnati, it's The Waffletoots!"
"Come on." Ryder says to me and takes my hand and walk lead me to go out from the backstage.
"Why there are so many songs about rainbow?" I'm singing as I walk behind Ryder to the stage and see the performance.
"You must be like that song." Ryder says to me.
"I love that song." I nodded as we keep walking until we enter the audience seat and sit down on our seat right the Waffletoots ended up their performance with full of applauding from the audience.
"From North Valley Central High School in Indianapolis. The Hoosierdaddies!"
The curtains lift up and The Hoosierdaddies coming up and they really sing Clarity by Zedd and that little tiny girl must be Frida Romero. I cant help it. I love this song and the audience here were like jamming together include us who stand up from our seat and enjoy their performance.
"If our love is tragedy why are you my remedy?" I'm singing while holding Ryder's hand and turn my face at him.
"You're crazy." Ryder chuckles and put his hand around my shoulder and kisses my head.
They ended up their first song until the second song is begin and right it's really Wings by Little Mix. Kitty and I looking at each other and hi-five together. We will win this competition.
"Guys, choir room, now." Mr. Schue says to us.
We nodded and leave the audience seat. I give Ryder's cardigan to him and he wear that as we walk out from the auditorium and turn our way to the choir room and have show circle.
"All right, everybody. Show circle. Come on in." Mr. Schue says to us.
"New Directions.." Brittany walks in and half-smiled at us. "Um, before we go onstage, I have something I want to tell you guys. I got offered early admission to MIT. I never thought that I would graduate high school, let alone go to college, so I have to jump on this offer before it gets taken away." Brittany says to us. "They want me to leave immediately. That's why I had that meltdown.nUm my entire life, people have always told me that I was stupid. And after a while I started to believe them. And it wasn't until I walked in this room and I joined this club that I really started believing in myself. And as soon as I did that, as soon as I started believing that maybe I was smart after all, I think the whole world did, too. And I'm really gonna miss you guys. 'Cause you guys are like my family. Mr. Schue's like our dad. And Mercedes and Tina and Sugar and Mercedes, you guys are all like my sisters. And Mike Chang and Blaine and Jim, you guys are all like my brothers." Brittany half-smiled at us.
"My name's Joe." Joe mumbled.
"And, Artie, you're like the boy next door who builds robots in his basement and who I take his virginity, and Jake and Marley and Ryder and Jade and Kitty, you guys are all like the foster kids who come to live with us when the orphanage closes and that we don't trust at first but we grow to love just like we do our pets." Brittany says to us as we are chuckling about the things she said. "And then there's Sam. The cute boy from the wrong side of the tracks who does good impressions and who I fake marry." Brittany turn her face at Sam and walk to him and hug him. "I love you so much, Sam."
"I love you, too, Brittany." Sam hug her back.
"I'm really gonna miss you." Brittany says to Sam.
"I'm gonna miss you." Sam says to Brittany.
They pull their body away and Brittany wipe her tears away. "No cries." Brittany says and turn her face to Santana. "And there's Santana."
"Oh, man. You don't have to say anything, Brittany." Santana says to Brittany as they're hugging each other and pull their body away at each other.
"Okay. No more. Show circle." Brittany wipe her tears away and half-smiled at us.

~~~~
Now we are standing on the corner of the stage and waiting for the winner announcement. I'm just holding Ryder's and Jake's hand and pray so we could win this.
"One last reminder, please don't leave your trash under the seats because nobody likes a litterbug. Third place in the 2013 Greater Midwest. Show Choir Regionals goes to the Waffle-Toots!" The juges give the trophybto them.
"Worth it." I mumbled and clapping for them. For those acafella boys that just looks like The Warblers without HGH.
"Now the moment we've all been waiting for............. In second place from Indianapolis, Indiana, the Hoosierdaddies, and first place goes to McKinley High New Directions!"
We walk out from our place and jump happily as the judges give the biggest trophy to us. I jump happily and hug Ryder really tight as he swing me through the air. I'm so happy. We will get our big year this year. One in a row.
~~~~
"McKinley High is officially on its way to becoming a regionals dynasty!" Artie yelled happily as he bring our regionals trophy to the choir room and give it to Sam.
"Only 24 more of these babies before we catch up to Vocal Adrenaline." Sam says to us.
"Oh, please. Vocal Adrenaline's time has passed. The present and the future is all about the New Directions. And we are going to prove it when we go to sunny Los Angeles for nationals and take home our second national championship in a row!" Mr. Schue grins at us.
"That's right." Mike says to Mr. Schue.
"That's right." Mr. Schue nodded.
"Miss Pillsbury, who's your friend?" Mike turn his face as Ms. Pillsburry walks in with a priest.
"Um, Miss Pillsbury, you're supposed to bring someone in to bless the team before the big game." Sam says to Ms. Pillsburry.
"Okay. Thank you. Um, I figured out that I can't handle the pressure of a big wedding, so I told Will, if we're gonna get married, that I wanted an intimate ceremony in a special place surrounded by the people that we love." Ms. Pillsburry smiles at us.
"Are you guys seriously throwing a surprise wedding? Just like Brooke Burke and David Charvet?" Kurt asks excitedly.
"Yes. No music, no reception, no planning.
Just me, the one true love of my life, and then we'll have a little dinner at Breadstix." Ms. Pillsburry nodded and smile at us.
"Alright, everyone get ready for the big wedding." Mercedes chuckles.
"Alright, I'm gonna wait outside." Ms. Pillsburry take her white flower bouquet and walk outside and close the door.
We then standing in two lines like make an entrance for the whole aisle thing. This is really cute. Literally. I never imagine someone could really do this before.
"Alright everyone ready? Let's do this." Mr. Schue says to us.
Sugar open the door and Ms. Pillsburry walks in while holding her white flower bouquet and Sugar throw the red roses to her as we mumbling the wedding medley.
"You're still here." Mr. Schue says to Ms. Pillsburry.
"I'm here." Ms. Pillsburry giggles.
"Do you guys have vows prepared?" The priest asks.
"I knew I forgot something." Mr. Schue chuckles.
"No. Um.. Well, hold on. You always get to make the romantic speeches, so, um, why don't you let me do it this time?" Ms. Pillsburry asks Mr. Schue.
"I'd love that." Mr. Schue nodded.
"Yeah? Okay. There was this one day, um, right around the time that we first met. Um, out in the courtyard. And I had gum stuck to the bottom of my shoe, and you scraped it off with a credit card. And whenever things in my head get all gooey and sticky and messy and I can't get 'em out, you always come along and you make me feel clean and you make me feel whole again.
Will, just as I know that the sky is blue, I know that you and I are meant to be together. You are my hero, you are my one true love, you are my inspiration.
I love you, Will Schuester. I can't believe this is happening." Ms. Pillsburry giggles.
"I-I remember that day with the gum. And the day you chaperoned the field trip to Carmel High.nAnd the red coat you wore when you took the team to their first sectionals." Mr. Schue says to Ms. Pillsburry.
"I love that coat. I got it on sale." Ms. Pillsburry giggles.
"I remember and notice everything about you.bYou only get one true love of your life.
And you are mine, Emma. And I promise you that as long as you just keep being you and-and let me love you, I will be the happiest man alive. And can we just skip to the "I do" part because I can't I can't spend one more minute without being this woman's husband." Mr. Schue chuckles.
"Works for me. I have a reservation at Breadstix, too." The priest says.
"We'll see you there." Mr. Schue says to him.
"Emma, do you take Will to be your husband, to love and honor, forsaking all others from this day forward?" The priest ask Ms. Pillsburry.
"I do. I do. I do. I do." Ms. Pillsburry said as Mr. Schue put the ring into her finger.
"Will?" The priest turn his face to Mr. Schue.
"Oh, I definitely do." Mr. Schue chuckles.
"By the power vested in me and all the rest, Will, Emma Wemma I now pronounce you husband and wife." The priest says.
They both start sharing a kiss as applauding filling this room. Such a simple but beautiful wedding one. Really really sweet and cute. I want like that one day. With someone right of course.
