Mine // Santana Lopez

S1 Ep9: Wheels

Gabby sat with Santana and Brittany. They were talking about something that she didn't really comprehend. She was totally zoned out. She was worried for Quinn.

Mr Shue snapped her out of her thoughts.

"All right guys. We're doing a new number for sectionals. I know that pop songs are sort of our signature pieces, but i did a little research on passed winners. It turns out judges like things that are more accessible, stuff they know. Uh, standards, Broadway."

"Defying gravity?" Kurt asked. "I have an IPod shuffle dedicated exclusively to selections from Wicked. This is amazing."

Mr Shuester turned to Rachel. " Think you can handle it Rachel?"

"Its my go to shower song." She replied.

"Why do we have to go all Vanilla on this song? See what we need is my chocolate thunder." Mercedes blankly stated.

"We don't have time to arrange a song for you Mercedes. Rachel is singing it. Don't worry we'll find something for you to, dip in chocolate."

"On to item two. The school won't pay for the special bus we need to take Artie and his wheelchair with us to sectionals."

"What?" Tina asked

"Thats completely unfair." Rachel added.

"So, we're gonna have to raise money to pay for it ourselves. See, when i was in glee club and we needed new silk cummerbunds for regionals, we held a bake sale." He continued.

"Wait you're joking right? I mean, bake sales are kind of boujee." Santana explained.

"So hip people stopped eating delicious sugary treats" He questioned.

"Its not that, its just most of us don't know how to bake." Gabby said.

"I find recipes confusing." Brittany spoke out. Gabby put a comforting hand out for her to take which she excepted gladly.

"My family's fully committed to takeout." Rachel informed Mr Shue.

"Yeah Mr Shue, kids are busier than when you went here." Finn told him

"Can't Artie's dad just take him?" Tina asked

"I cant believe how insensitive you're all being. Are you a team?"

"Of course. But Artie understands. Don't you Artie?" Quinn turned upon asking him.

"Of course, it's cool. I mean anything that takes away from rehearsal doesn't serve the team." he replied. The bell rang and everyone left.

Kurt asked to audition for Wicked solo but Mr Shue declined and said Rachel could handle it.

"I want to say something to you guys. I was disappointed at how you guys were so willing to take the bus together to sectionals and make Artie ride alone with his dad. We're a team, guys. We're in this glee club together."

"Artie doesn't care his dad drives him everywhere." Mercedes shrugged.

"I do care. It kinda hurt my feelings." He told her

"We didn't think you'd take it personally." Rachel chimed in.

"Well, you're irritating most of the time, but don't take that personally."

"We're riding to sectionals together, or we're not going at all. And we're having a bake sale to pay for the bus. St Ignatius nursing home was having a tag sale. And my AV club friends here, agreed to help out. For the next week, each of you is going to spend 3 hours a day in a wheelchair. Oh, and we're doing a wheelchair number."
