Santana's Point of View
"Why does everything have to be so damn dramatic for Rachel and Kurt?" I ask and Quinn hits me in the back of my head, "Why can't we all just be like, hey Rachel, we're here to help you fix a broken Glee club?"
"Wait," Brittany says and we all look at her, "I thought we were here for Homecoming."
"Yeah but don't tell Rachel that." Quinn says and I cover my mouth so that I won't laugh out loud. We're supposed to be quiet.
"Found the God mic." I hear Kurt say, meaning our plan is in motion, "Okay, I know things a little crazy earlier, and we both said some things about your life that weren't very nice, so...mostly me. Wait, why are you smiling?"
"Cause you were right. About me hiding in here and not being proactive. But when you left yesterday, I had an epiphany and I heard a voice." Rachel says and I groan because I'm tired of sitting behind this damn curtain
You know what? While she talks let me catch you up.
I dropped out of NYADA because I'm now signed with Republic Records. Amazing, right? I haven't told Brittany or anyone because...well there's no reason. I just haven't told her or anyone. Right now, Scooter and I are just in the studio working on my sound before we start working on me. Brittany thinks I'm at school, but I'm really with Scooter or at the diner working a little bit.
Also, I bought a ring...for Brittany because I wanna propose. I don't know when or how, but I'm going to. We're twenty years old and I think we're ready even though other people wouldn't. I just want everything to be final. Once we get married then we're in it till death comes and sweeps us away. I have my doubts about her saying no because there's always a chance but those doubts are smaller than what I know.
Now we're in Lima to help Kurt and Rachel rebuild a Glee Club two years later. Rachel's TV show was absolutely horrible and they cut it right away, so now she's left with all this money that is gonna go towards rebuilding the Glee club. Kurt and Blaine didn't get married and now Blaine is dating Dave, which is disgusting and Rachel and Quinn are still together but Quinn told me they're having some problems. I'm sure it's harder to date Rachel than it is to date me.
And that's what you missed on GLEE! (Sorry I had to.)
"So I got on the phone," Rachel says
"With who?" Kurt asks
"With everyone!" I yell when the lights turn on revealing Brittany, Quinn, Mercedes, and I
"Surprise!" Mercedes says
Kurt and Rachel walk down the steps and onto the stage as Sam wheels Artie in and Puck walks in wearing his uniform
"Welcome back." Puck says
"Hey." Quinn says
"Now the whole gang is back to reboot the glee club." Rachel says as we all get into one big group hug
"Damn it, you guys, you said you'd wait for me to park the rental car!" Tina says complexity out of breath
"Oh, Tina!" We all yell and she rolls her eyes
"Let's go." Artie says
"Come over here." Sam says
"Tina, Tina, Tina, Tina, Tina..." we all chant
"Come on, Tina!" Sam says and she runs over to us with a big smile on her face
Once we're all done greeting old friends, we all go into the choir room. Everybody but Rachel and Kurt take a seat in the chairs. I get chills just thinking about how three years ago I was a senior who didn't know what I wanted to do with myself and now I'm signed to big label and is planning on proposing to the love of my life.
"It's so great to have you all together in this room again. It means so much to us that you would come at the drop of a hat." Rachel says smiling
"Artie, are you drawing me?" Quinn asks and he shakes his head
"Nope, just your boobs."
"Hmm." Sam says with a smile on his face and Brittany laughs
Artie looks behind him and at Quinn, "I'm practicing for my story boarding class."
"Okay, we need to focus." Rachel says and for a second I thought she was wearing a plaid skirt and knee high scowls because she sounds a lot like sophomore Rachel
"Yeah, guys, we really got to focus here, okay? W-We're in crisis mode, all right? Glee Club has done so much for all of us? You know? It brought us together, it-it gave us hope, it put us out in the world." Kurt says using his hands a lot
"And it brought some of us home again." Rachel says
"She's talking about me." Sam says and I nod
"Here's the situation. We need you guys back- - not all the time, we realize that you have lives in other places." Rachel says
"We've got to get Glee Club back on its feet, you know? Especially since now some of us are the competition." Kurt says
"He's talking about Shue and Blaine." Sam clarifies.
Rachel clears her throat, "We need you back. Not all the time, but if you're not here, then the tradition of the club we love so much will be gone. So we're going to find kids that can bring something to it the same way that we did, and we will mentor them based on our strengths."
"But right now, we really have to get out there and take on the school. You know, rattle Sue's cage," Kurt reaches around and presses a button on the speaker, "We are going to give McKinley a little taste of what they've been missing."
Quinn, Brittany, and I decide to go on the field to find football players or cheerleaders that can sing and since. It shouldn't be hard. We're still hot, hotter than we were in high school. Brittany's hair is way longer and she now has bangs, which I'm in love with and Quinn's hair is short and platinum blond which is pretty hot. And we have on the short cheer skirts and a right cheer shirt.
"Okay, just remember, sex cells." I say as the three of us, plus Artie. walk towards the field where they're all practicing
Not gonna lie, but the cheerleaders today are way better than how we were.
"You guys got some really great moves," Artie says as a group of them walk past us, "We could really use some of that in Glee club."
"Yeah, you could."
I look behind me and see Kitty making her way towards us
"Kitty, wh-where have you been? I thought Sue made all the New Directions transfer out of McKinley. We need you back." Artie says and it almost sounds like he's begging her. Weren't they dating?
"You really think I'm gonna come back and help you and your stupid glee club after the way you treated all of us? The way you treated me when you went away to college?" Kitty asks and Artie looks down at his lap, "Sue didn't make me transfer because she's smart enough to recognize a star player when she sees one. Unlike Rachel Berry, who never been knew any of our names."
Brittany scoffs, "I know your name, it's Quinn."
I laugh.
"I'm Quinn." Quinn says and Brittany shakes her head
"Liar." Brittany says back and Quinn looks at me for help but I just shrug my shoulders
"Listen," I say and Kitty looks at me, "Don't you guys want to do more than just get shot out of cannons? Don't you wanna be a star?"
"Oh, that is rich coming from you, pathetically stuffed back into your Cheerios uniforms again." Kitty says and I point at myself and she nods
As I was about to be a bitch two cheerleaders in the back speak up.
"Can two people try out together?" They ask at the same time
"Yes." I say
"Yep." Brittany says
"Yeah, I don't see why not," Quinn says while nodding her head, "The three of us tried out together."
"Of course the incest twins want in." Kitty says and my eyes widen, "Lets go ladies. We have to explain to these two again why Flowers In The Attic is not a love story to aspire to."
We change back into the clothes we came in and go into the choir room, where Rachel told us to meet her during lunch.
"Okay, guys," Rachel says as she walks in, "progress reports. How's it going with the new recruits?"
"Horrible." Quinn says
"It ain't working." Puck says
"It's not good, Rachel," Mercedes says and Rachel's jaw drops, "Glee Club has fallen so far at this school, we're not gonna be able to get anyone to join."
Rachel opens her mouth to speak but a voice singing interrupts her.
"There's the voice again." Puck says and we all jump up and walk to the vent
"Dudes, he's in the showers in the locker room. They're always in the showers." Sam says
"Shh!"
We walk out of the choir room and send Sam into the locker room. He comes out with nothing. We run into the library and spread out and we all end up in the same spot. We corner the kid and he takes his headphones off.
"Oh, God," he says, "Are you guys gonna beat me up? 'Cause I just need a second to get in the fetal position..." he says as he gets down on the floor and brings his knees to his chest
"No, no, we... we heard you singing." Rachel says
"Yeah, you're amazing." Mercedes says
"Dude, you've got to audition for the glee club." Artie says
"So people can make fun of me more than they already do? Even the principal calls me White Precious." The kid says
Puck chuckles, "Come here, you are precious." Puck helps him up and I look at Puck and smile. He's still really cute and he lost that damn mohawk.
"Well, all anybody cares about in glee club is the way you sing." Mercedes says and we all nod
"Look, no one has signed up for your club yet, right?" He asks, "Okay. Well, having me as your first member is just gonna drive kids away even more. I have designed my entire life around people not noticing me."
"Look, no one has wanted to feel more invisible than Rachel has over the past couple months." I say and Brittany laughs
"What Santana is trying to say is that you have to find people who show you the best parts of yourself." Rachel says and I roll my eyes, "These people remind me of those things. And they would never make fun of me."
"Mm, not to her face, no way." Brittany says and I bump her with my shoulder
"You're the poster child for glee club. You're why Mr. Shue started the club in the first place. It's a place where misfits can fit in. Will you please try out? I'm really sorry that I came on so strong. But you can sing whatever you want."
"Yeah, I guarantee you're gonna get in." Kurt says
"Look at all of us. We're all so different, and yet there's nothing that we wouldn't do for each other. We're all just a phone call away and that is because we took a chance on glee club. And that's something that you deserve as well." Quinn says and the kid nods his head. What is this child's name?

"I'm sorry but they better come fast. Two people? Tina asks as I walk in with Brittany and Quinn next to me. There's the boy from the library and a girl sitting next to him.
"Shut up, Tina," I say and everyone looks at me, "There's actually four. As per usual, my undeniable sexual magnetism has worked her again. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Mason and Madison McCarthy."
The two cheerleaders from earlier step in front of me and show their faces. Rachel smiles at them and claps.
"Hey, gang," Mason says, "We're super pumped there's a glee club again. Now I know what you're thinking. They can obviously log roll and kick toss, but can they sing? Well, not to toot our own horns..."
"Toot!' Madison says and I jump a little, "But we've won karaoke night at the Wapakoneta Summer Cheer Camp every year since we were three. It's in our blood. Our parents met while touring with the inspirational, world-famous singing group, Up with People."
I shake my head, "Oh, no, no, no, no. I think I've made a mistake."
"No, it's okay. You're welcome. I mean, you're gonna have to audition. We have a very rigorous process." Rachel says and I furrow my eyebrows
"I mean, not really. Sugar Motts was literally tone-deaf." Tina says
"Yeah, but she was hot." Artie says
"I'm actually really happy. This is the start of something really special." Rachel turns around and looks at the alumni, "And I know that most of you came home just for homecoming and not for me and Kurt, but we can't tell you how grateful we are for your help." Rachel looks at all of us with a smile, "Get over here."
"Let's hug." Artie says
Brittany holds my waist and pushes me towards everybody and into the group hug.
"Start getting comfortable with group hugs." Rachel says and we all laugh
