------------------------------------

Ryley set up her performance nearby Breadstix on a Saturday morning. She had put her hand up for new ideas with getting the remaining 500 dollars for Glee Club. She said about busking. Nobody else was really interested though so she was the only one who was basically jumping out of her seat to do this.
So here she stood. On the street outside of Breadsitx, hoping to get at least 500 dollars to bring back the club she loves.
She puts her guitar over her shoulder and gets herself ready to perform. She begins to play her guitar.

You shouted out
But I can't hear a word you say
I'm talking loud not saying much
I'm criticized but all your bullets ricochet
You shoot me down, but I get up

People begin to stop, watching her perform.

I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium

They all seem to be enjoying her performance more and more as she sings.

Cut me down
But it's you who'll have further to fall
Ghost town and haunted love
Raise your voice, sticks and stones may break my bones
I'm talking loud not saying much

More of a crowd gathers and in the crowd, Ryley sees Ryder, Jake, Gabe, Blake, Marley, Angie and Natalie. She smiles at her friends when she sees them but keeps singing and playing her guitar.

I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
I am titanium
I am titanium

Stone-hard, machine gun
Firing at the ones who run
Stone-hard as bulletproof glass

You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
I am titanium 

The large-ish crowd cheer for Ryley. Ryder cheers the loudest for his girlfriend and she grins at him. People begin to throw in money into the guitar case in front of Ryley. She murmurs a thanks to everyone as they do.
Someone throws in a piece paper along with money. Ryley bends down and picks it up. She opens up the paper and reads it.
You should do X Factor or some sort of talent TV show. You have a gift. :)
Ryley smiles at the note as her friends walk up to her.
"What's that?" Angie asks.
Ryley stands back up and smiles, "Part of me feels like this is a note from you guys."
"No way. I'm currently not able to pay people that much money to give a note just for that." Angie says, pointing at the money that went with the note.
Ryley picks it up, "50 dollars? Wow."
"In this rate, we'll have the Glee Club in no time." Blake says with a smile.
"Mind if we join you?" Natalie asks.
"Go ahead." Ryley says.
"I have an idea. Stay with me cause I'm quick." Ryder says with a smile. He takes his iPod out and plugs into a speaker by Ryley's guitar case she brought along. He then presses play and begins the song out.

[Ryder:]
One way or another I'm gonna find you
I'm gonna get you, get you, get you, get you

He rushes down the street a bit to attract the attention of people on the street.

One way or another I'm gonna win you
I'm gonna get you, get you, get you, get you

Blake goes in the other direction and does the same.

[Blake:]
One way or another I'm gonna see you
I'm gonna meet you, meet you, meet you, meet you
One day, maybe next week
I'm gonna meet you, I'm gonna meet you, I'll meet you

Gabe attracts them more as they come closer to the place where himself, Jake and the girls still are.

[Gabe:]
I will drive past your house
And if the lights are all down
I'll see who's around

Ryder returns with people, clapping along. Blake does too.

[Ryder:]
LET'S GO!

[Gabe with Ryley & Angie:]
One way or another I'm gonna find you
I'm gonna get you, get you, get you, get you
One way or another I'm gonna win you
I'll get you, I'll get you

[Blake with Marley & Natalie:]
One way or another I'm gonna see you
I'm gonna meet you, meet you, meet you, meet you
One day, maybe next week
I'm gonna meet you, I'll meet you, I'll meet you

[Jake:]
And if the lights are all out
I'll follow your bus downtown
See who's hanging out

[Ryley:]
(One, two, three, four)

[Ryley, Ryder, Jake, Marley, Angie, Gabe, Blake & Natalie:]
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na

[Gabe with Ryley, Ryder, Jake, Marley, Angie, Blake & Natalie:]
I wanna hold you, wanna hold you tight
I wanna hold you, wanna hold you tight
I wanna hold you, wanna hold you tight
Yeah, teenage kicks right through the night

[Marley:]

[Ryder:]
One way or another

The new people to arrive place money in the guitar case. The money is stacking up.
"There has to be at least 500 dollars in there now." Marley says.
"We should finish up for the day then count up the money." Jake says,
"And hopefully by the end of the day, we'll have the club back." Ryley says.
"Let's hope for the best." Gabe says.
The group perform a few more songs then finish up for the day.

--------------------------------------------------

They head back to Ryley's place where they count up the money they earned.
"We earned..." Ryley says, trailing off as she adds up for the final total.
Her friends wait in anticipation for an answer as she finishes up counting all the money on the coffee table in her living room.
"Over 500 dollars." Ryley says with a smile.
"Glee Club is back!" Blake shouts, fist pumping the air and getting out of his seat.

--------------------------------------------

Looks like the club is officially back.
Short? I know...
Will Mr Schue return to help them? Or will Finn be the only leader?
