Yes or no - Book 4 - S.E.

Homecoming

After his argument with Rachel about how to run the glee club now that they were co-coaches, he searched for the girl around the whole school. He should've known, though, that she would be there, sitting alone at the desk in the middle of the auditorium.

"Okay, I know things got a little crazy earlier, and we both said some things about your life that weren't very nice, so... Mostly me. Wait, why are you smiling?" Kurt asked, when he noticed Rachel's soft smile, having half-expected her to argue with him again.

"Cause you were right." She said, as Kurt raised an eyebrow. "About me hiding in here and not being proactive. But when you left yesterday, I had an epiphany. And I heard a voice."

"Y-you found a student?" Kurt gasped.

"Well, not exactly, but I heard him." She said. "At least I think it's a him."

"Well, let's not label or judge."

"The point is that you were right." Rachel continued as Kurt smiled a bit. "About everything. They're out there. They're here right now in McKinley, hiding in plain sight. They just need something huge to draw them out, To show them what they could be. So I got on the phone."

"With who?" Kurt frowned, confused.

"With everyone!"

And as soon as she said it, the lights of the stage lit up and revealed Mercedes, Santana, Brittany and Emily sitting there, smiles on their faces as they all waved at him. Walking with Rachel toward them, Kurt gasped when Artie, Sam, Quinn, Puck and Tina joined in the reunion, and as hugs and kisses and laughter were exchanged in that stage, Kurt decided that maybe — just maybe — the glee club still had a chance to survive.

"It's so great to have you all together in this room again." Rachel gushed as everyone sat around in the choir room just like the good old times. "It means so much to us that you would come at the drop of a hat."

"Artie, are you drawing me?" Quinn interrupted the girl, frowned at the younger boy.

"Nope, just your boobs." He shrugged nonchalantly, as Emily rolled her eyes from her seat behind him and Sam smirked from across the room. "I'm practicing for my storyboarding class."

"Okay, we need to focus." Kurt interrupted the small conversation.

"Yeah, guys, we really got to focus here, okay?" Rachel agreed. "W-we're in crisis mode, all right? Glee club has done so much for all of us. You know? It brought us together, it gave us hope, it put us out in the world. And it brought some of us home again."

"She's talking about me." Sam said, causing Emily to give him a quick glance before looking down at her lap again.

"Here's the situation..." Rachel continued. "We need you guys back. Not all the time, We realize that you have lives in other places. We've got to get glee club back on its feet, you know? Especially since now some of us are the competition."

"He's talking about Schue and Blaine." Sam pointed out again, as Rachel smiled just lightly before speaking up again. At the small exchange, Emily frowned. Was she reading too much into it? Or was there actually something there?

"We need you back." She said, snapping Emily back to reality as the girl blinked a few times to take her mind off of it. "Not all the time, but if you're not here, then the tradition of the club we love so much will be gone. So we're going to find kids that can bring something to it the same way that we did, and we will mentor them based on our strengths."

"But right now we really got to get out there and take on the school." Kurt continued, a small smirk breaking in both of their faces as they walked toward the small radio they had placed over the piano. "You know, really rattle Sue's cage."
