Acafellas 1x03

"Five, six, seven, eight. Step and step. Step and step. And turn it around. Down and up. And hit, hit down hit.", Mr. Shue instructs us. He is trying to teach us the choreography for something I don't know I never really listen. I am just here to help Quinn get Finn back and destroy the glee club. "Can we stop, please?", Rachel asks. "You don't have to ask me every time for permission to go to the bathroom, Rachel. You can just go." "It's not my bladder. It's the choreography." "Okay, what's wrong with the choreography?" "It sucks." This takes me back to my conversation with Rachel, Quinn and Santana. "It sucks.", I try and convince her. "It's completely unoriginal.", Santana adds. "Are you guys going to get shunned for talking to me?" "Sweetie, we're a team now. But you've got to do something about Mr. Shue's dance routines.", Quinn convinces Rachel. Back in the choir room Rachel repeats what we said to her to Mr. Shue. "We can't compete with vocal adrenaline with these steps. You're a great vocal coach, Mr. Shue, But you're not a a trained choreographer. That's what we need to be the best. We need Dakota Stanley." Flashback to the hall way again. "He's the best show choir choreographer in the midwest. He works with Vocal Adrenaline." "You can't take regionals without him. He was the understudy to the candelabra in beauty and the beast on broadway." Back in the choir room "Just because he understudied doesn't mean he ever performed." "Did you ever perform, Mr. Schuester? After high school. Did you even try?", Quinn asks Mr. Shue. 

He cancels glee club and the rest of us continue with our day. I go to my locker to grab some books I need for homework. As I open my locker a note falls out saying 'meet me in the girls locker-room'. I knew exactly who it was as I have gotten identical ones from the one and only Santana Lopez. Know one knows this but we hook up a lot. It doesn't mean I am gay it is just some harmless making out. I sneak into the girls locker-room cause no one is really allowed there after school hours. "Santana? Hello? Is anyone here?" "I see you got my note", I jump as I hear her voice. "I could make a book with all of those notes you leave me", I reply sarcastically. "Yeah, well it is the only way I can get you alone so I can do this..", she replies as she leans in and kisses me. I cup her cheeks with my hands as she pulls my body closer to her by my waist. God, I could kiss her forever. She slowly walks back towards the showers. "What are you doing?", I ask in between kisses. "I need to take a shower. You wanna join?" "I thought you'd never ask" And lest just say things got more heated after that. 

It is the next day and we are waiting for Mr. Shue to arrive when Rachel walks in with a plat of 'I'm sorry' cookies. "He's not coming." "What happened?", Finn questions. Rachel goes on to explain her interaction with the Spanish teacher. "They're my famous sugar cookies. I bake them for the poor during Christmastime, But i whipped up a special batch. Just for you. I wanted to say how sorry i was for what I said.", Rachel attempts to apologies. "Don't be. You were right. You know, the truth is, Rachel, if you weren't so hard on me, I never would have had the guts to start Acafellas.", Mr. Shue. replies. "But we need you, Mr. Schue. You've missed six rehearsals in the past couple of weeks, And when you're there, you're not really there." "Which is why I think you should go ahead and hire Montana." "Dakota.", she interjects. "Whatever. You know, I'll still be there to help you guys sing and stuff, But, uh, I just don't have time for all of it anymore." "Of course he doesn't want Anything to do with us after you kicked him in the nads.", Finn says irritated. "Then why did he thank me?" "The goal is to win. And now that Mr. Schuester has agreed to let us hire Dakota Stanley, we can.", Santana says trying to persuade the rest of the club. "But he doesn't want us to. He just doesn't have The confidence to coach us anymore. Guys are real sensitive when it comes to this kind of stuff." "And that's my fault?" "Do you see anyone else in here With a plate of "I'm sorry" cookies? I don't. Just you.", I laugh quietly at Finns comment. "I'm bored. All those in favor of hiring Dakota Stanley?", Quinn asks. Everyone except Finn puts up their hands. The bell rings signalling that all of us should get to class.
