Note: In the TV programme, Dustin Bleiber's character is played by Justin Bleiber himself. They are two seperate identities in glee though.
The holidays had been great. Rachel and Finn had spent the summer practicing new routine ideas for Glee club. Finn had only agreed to waste his summer if he was promised some ‘action’ after practise. Summer was over now and Rachel couldn’t wait to get back to Glee.
In drips and drabs, the McKinley High Glee room began to fill. Rachel and Finn were there first, of course. Kurt and Mercedes followed. Artie, Quinn, Puck with the rest, finally finished the 12 strong. So why were there 13 in the room?
Rachel examined the new boy in perplexity. He looked so familiar and had it not been for his hair, she probably wouldn’t have noticed him in the first place.
“Excuse me? Are you lost? You obviously have the wrong room. I’m Rachel Berry, and as the Co-captain of Glee club, I feel it is my personal responsibility to find out what you are doing here?” Before the fresh face could reply, they were interrupted by a voice they all recognised.
“Welcome back from Summer everybody! I trust you all had a good break,” said Mr Schu. “Before we begin, I would like to announce that we have an addition to New Directions! Dustin, I’ll let you introduce yourself.”
Before Mr Schu had even begun to take a seat, the new kid was up in front of the club. With confidence he told them, “You have three questions, ask away.”
Almost instantaneously, the first question went to Britany. “I like your hair.”
“Thanks,” he replied, “I’m going to include that as a question and before you waste another, yes it’s real.”
They thought carefully after that. “Who are you?” tried Rachel.
“My name is Dustin Blieber. I come from Canada. I have two dogs and I like Ice-cream”
“I like Ice-cream” said Brittany. Although this time she went unnoticed.
“You look like you’re like 12, dude. What are you doing in Glee?” posed Puck.
“I’ll consider that a compliment to my youthful complexity,” Blieber started, “I’m here because Mr Schu invited me to be here. He found me on youtube over summer and he thought I would be a valuable asset to your club.”
“So what? You just moved schools and thought you could join Glee club because Mr Schu asked?” cried Quinn.
“Sorry sugar, your 3 questions are up.” finished Blieber.
With that, Will Schuster was back in front of the class. “Thanks for that Dustin, I’m sure everyone will do there best to make you feel comfortable.” threatened Mr Schu.
Almost like clockwork, it was time for Rachel to chime in her two cents. “But Mr Schu,” she objected, “I find it highly alarming that you did not consult with me over a matter so dramatic to the future of the club. Finn and I have been slaving away over new routines for twelve people, not thirteen. We simply do not have the time, or space, to allow this ‘12 year old’ into our crew. I mean, can he even sing?”
And with that, it was Dustin Blieber’s time to shine. With one harmonic line, “Ohwhoahoahoa,” the girls had the fever. Blieber fever. “You know you love me, you know you care…” Even Rachel was swooning for him. “…and I’m like baby, baby, baby oh…”
When the performance was over, the room was silent. Not one of them had quite expected that. Kurt finally broke the silence. “Your voice is the gift of an angel” he smiled.
“My parents are out for the night. Let me know if you want to come over?” flirted Santana.
“Let me take another look at those routines. I’m sure you’re going to fit in just fine,” said Rachel.
The girls (plus Kurt) were all head over heels in love with him.
“Nicely done, Dustin! That, ladies and gentlemen, is what showchoir is all about!” raved Mr Schu. “After Dust’s wonderful rendition, I think it’s only fitting that this weeks musical theme is Justin Bieber! Let’s see if you guys can top the newbie’s performance by friday.” he announced.
Dustin was happy the girls had accepted him into New Directions almost straight away. Nailing a Justin Bieber song was a no brainer to him. He doubted anyone would top him by the end of the week. Though in the back of his mind, he couldn’t’ help thinking it was happening again. What if they were to look past his voice and realise how much of a fraud he was? Dustin’s ‘too-cool-for-school’ image made his ability to show anything but confidence virtually impossible. It was both a blessing and a curse. It had taken him a while to realise, but in the corner of the room, the boys just sat, motionless to all the commotion.
The boys sat in exasperation. They didn’t know this new kid, but the look on their faces said they sure as hell were going to get rid of him. They didn’t quite know how, but one thing was for sure. If they were going to win their girls back, things would have to start getting ugly…
Great story! I actually enjoyed reading this fan-fic because it wasn't too far from the original show. The dialogue of the characters are acutally what they are used to saying, so it was good that you in cooperated similar dialogues of each character. I felt that the use of the song in this fan fiction was well put into place within the story so good job ! I find that there's nothing wrong witht this fan fiction other than it's a awesome piece to read !
ReplyDeleteCool story Ashleigh! It was really believable, it unquestionably captured the characters true personalities and by introducing another character into the story, it helped show the reactions of the others members in the Glee Club. I think this worked really well because the actions they conveyed were very realistic. I enjoyed how you introduced Justin Beiber into the fan fiction by giving him the roll as ‘Dustin Bleiber’ and having him perform the song ‘Baby’. In the original series of Glee they often bring in celebrity guest stars such as Britney Spears, Gwyneth Paltrow, Neil Patrick Harris, Eve, and Molly Shannon to name a few. This I think makes the story very convincing having another guest star ‘Justin Beiber’. I think even though the story was short it still showed everything it needed to in order to make sense to the reader. Also readers the may not have seen the actual show Glee but I think the story can work on its own without having much explanation to the original show. All up I think the story worked really well and flowed nicely.
