Gleathers

"Alright guys, listen up," Mr. Schue said as the bell rang loudly overhead. "I have an announcement to make."

"Adele is dead?" Adalynn asked, tears filling her eyes. "I knew it! She's been MIA for years."

"Ada, no sad," Ava said, leaning into Adalynn's chest and patting her arm. "Ter ter."

"Don't worry, Adalynn, Adele is fine," Mr. Schue reassured as the brunette sniffled and wiped her tears away. "I have been asked to join a blue ribbon panel to rewrite the arts curriculum nationwide. I'll be taking a short sabbatical, which means I'm leaving McKinley at the end of the week."

"Yay!" Ava cheered, clapping.

"Good," Adalynn sniffled a laugh, tickling the younger twin's stomach.

"Shoe bye!" Maya exclaimed, smiling. "Shoe bye! Mommy, Shoe bye!"

"What?" Tina asked, frowning. "This is crazy."

"No, this is the greatest news ever," Adalynn scoffed, smirking when the teacher gave her a disapproving look. "Don't let the door hit you on the way out, Pedo."

"Pedo!" Ava giggled, clapping her hands together. "Shoe es pedo!"

"But Glee Club is your life," said Artie.

"Which is why this is only temporary," Mr. Schue said as Ava whined and hid her head in Adalynn's chest. "I'll be back after sectionals."

"Wait, after sectionals?" Bailey asked.

"It's not like we know him that well or anything," Unique shrugged as Marjorie nodded.

"All I know is what Adalynn's said about him being a pedo," she whispered.

"She doesn't like him much, does she?" Marley asked.

"Not at all," Adalynn shook her head.

"Guys, calm down," said Mr. Schue. "Look, I knew I needed to find a replacement, which is why I brought in Finn Hudson and Julian Hummel."

"Oh hell no," Adalynn scoffed, shaking her head. "You left my idiot cousin in charge?"

"Mr. Schue, Finn and Julian cannot take over Glee Club," Tina protested, standing up. "Neither of them know what they're doing at all! Sorry, Finn."

"Guys, I know we can do this," said Finn. "Julian and I were talking, and we've got some really great ideas for sectionals."

"We'll all be dead by then!" Adalynn yelled.

"They don't know how to direct a musical!" Tina shouted.

"We can't win without him," Sugar spoke up over all the yelling. "Who's gonna drive the bus?"

The New Directions all started talking over one another. Adalynn made eye contact with Julian, narrowing her eyes and shaking her head as Ava babbled protests. Maya stuck her tongue out and blew a raspberry at Mr. Schue as Bailey and Tina exchanged a look and laughed.

Everyone was in the auditorium getting fitted for their costumes for Heathers. Adalynn did a few poses in the mirror before tossing her hair over her shoulder and walking over to where Tina was with Marley.

"Okay, hold on and suck in," Tina instructed.

"I am," Marley grunted. "I don't understand. This fit yesterday."

"What's going on?" Adalynn asked.

"My costume doesn't fit," the younger girl said, stress evident on her face.
