Back To You €Mike Chang (EDITING)

The Glee Club was welcoming the four cheerios to their first practice today. Although none of them seemed as if they wanted to be there except Mickey, who looked quite content dancing to the show tunes. He was practicing choreo between Quinn and Santana when suddenly Rachel caught everyone's attention.

"Can we stop, please?" Rachel demanded slightly glancing at the Cheerios, before turning back to Mr. Shue, causing Santana and Mickey to roll their eyes in sync all four cheerios putting their hands on their hips.

Will sighed before addressing Rachel tiredly, "You don't have to ask me every time for permission to go to the bathroom, Rachel. You can just go." As Brittany and Santana stifled a laugh, the Cheerios shared an amused glance at each other

"It's not my bladder. It's the choreography." Rachel quickly clarified, trying to get to the point

"Okay, what's wrong with the choreography?" Will asked wearily, not really wanting to hear the answer.

"It sucks." Rachel bluntly said, no one in the room expected that answer besides for four particular cheerios. "We can't compete with vocal adrenaline with these steps." Rachel continued, " You're a great vocal coach, Mr. Shue, But you're not a trained choreographer. That's what we need to be the best. We need Dakota Stanley. He's the best show choir choreographer in the midwest. He works with Vocal Adrenaline. We can't take regionals without him. He was the understudy to the candelabra in beauty and the beast on broadway."

"Just because he understudied doesn't mean he ever performed." Mr. Shue said defensively, not liking the idea of being replaced in his own glee club.

That's when Quinn stepped forth slyly saying, "Did you ever perform, Mr. Schuester? After high school. Did you even try?"

Mickey felt bad seeing Mr. Shue not knowing what to say but said nothing. There was an awkward silence afterwards, until the bell rang, and they all quickly left from the tense room.

It was the next day and the entire Glee Club was waiting for Mr.Schue to come. Mickey glanced around the room, rubbing his right hip as he sighed in pain. His girlfriend, Lexi, had been angry when she found out he joined Glee Club, the girl always wanting to know Mickey's schedule and felt blindsided. 

In front of him was Kurt and Mercedes who were talking to each other, one seemingly way too into the conversation than the other. As Mercedes threw her head back in laughter and looked at Kurt with dreamy eyes, Mickey and Santana shared a glance, confused and slightly disturbed at the entire situation. Though Mickey was never one to judge a book by its cover, especially when it came to something as personal as sexuality, he was Kurt's brother and had already known before being told he was gay. So seeing Mercedes fawning over his brother was very interesting to him.

That's when Rachel walked in, with a platter of cookies in her hands. "He's not coming," She quickly stated

"What happened?" Finn asked wearily. Rachel began to explain that Mr. Shue was dropping out of the glee club half time, telling her to go to Dakota Stanley,  "Of course he doesn't want anything to do with us after you kicked him in the nads." He stated angrily

"Then why did he thank me?" Rachel said defensively trying to justify her harsh words.

"The goal is to win. And now that Mr. Schuester has agreed to let us hire Dakota Stanley, we can." Santana said, her sudden interest in Glee confusing some of the students

"But he doesn't want us to," Finn explained exasperated looking at anyone for some help

"And that's my fault?" Rachel asked also exasperated, just wanting what was best for Glee as well.
