Back-Up Plan - Book 1 - S.E.

The Sue Sylvester shuffle

The New Directions were messing around in the choir room. At the moment, Winnie, Mike and Tina were dancing around with some new choreography Mike Chang himself had come up with and Winnie was mid-spin when Tina stopped moving altogether and turned to the door with a loud gasp.

"Oh, my God, Artie!" She said, causing Mike to stop and turn to look at his girlfriend and missing his cue to grab Winnie who fell to the floor with a loud thud.

"Ouch! Michael!" She hissed, as Mike turned to her with wide eyes and an apologetic smile.

"My bad." He said, helping the girl up as she glared playfully at him before looking away from her best friend and toward Artie, noticing how the boy was completely covered in red slushy.

"It was awful." Artie shuddered, as Brittany started to clean him up.

"That's it!" Finn decided, rather angrily as he stood up with the rest of the football guys hot on his tail. "Screw rehearsal! This ends here and now."

"We're gonna go all Thunderdome on those guys." Puck said.

Before they could even reach the door, however, the rest of the football team walked inside.

"So this is what the ladies lounge looks like on the inside." One of the boys teased. Tina and Winnie exchanged confused glances. What were they even doing there?

"This is the choir room." Sam spoke up, snapping Winnie out of her own thoughts as she turned to him with a surprised raised eyebrow. Apparently Sam Evans had some fire in him. "Now, put up your fists because you and I are going to do some dancing."

"No, I got this, Sam." Finn said, placing a hand in front of the younger boy, who rolled his eyes.

Before either could do anything, however - or before a fight could ensue between the two of then instead -, Karofsky spoke up.

"Coach Beiste told us to come." He said. "Where is she?"

"Watch it." The woman said, as she walked into the room as if on cue with Mr. Schue. "Everyone, have a seat."

"You too, guys."

Albeit confused, the students complayed, taking their seats as the two teachers stood there in front of them. They waited for an explanation and it did come when Mr. Schue spoke up, but that was not an explanation they were happy with at all.

"All right, New Directions, let's give a warm welcome to the newest members of Glee Club."

As soon as the words left his lips, all the kids started yelling their protests, on over the other - New Directions and Titans alike.

"Hey! Come on!" The teacher said. "Guys! Hey!"

"Are you serious?" Finn practically spat. "These are the guys that made Kurt transfer."

"And there's no way that I'm sharing the choir room with a known homophobe." Rachel said.

"I don't disagree with you guys." Mr. Schue said. "But I talked to Coach Beiste about it, and she and I both agreed that the kind of bullying that David does is born out of ignorance. Having him in here, as difficult as it may be for us, is an opportunity to show him and the rest of the guys that being in Glee Club is kind of cool, find some common ground."

"All of you are going to be in this Glee Club for one week, no exceptions." Coach Beiste said as she glared at her team.

"She's bluffing." Karofsky scoffed. "Next week is the championship game. Without us, she has no team."

"With you, I have no team!" Coach Beiste retorted. "You guys have gotta find a way to come together or we're going to get our asses kicked from here until Tuesday finds a saddlebag full of buckwheat."
