A/N: I know I need to update an actual story, but this idea took hold of me and I just couldn't let it go. You should know what a Disney freak I am by now, so I hope you all enjoy this little piece of fluff for all my favorite pairings :]
This will be about 6 relatively short chapters after this prologue with an epilogue. Each main chapter will focus on one pair, and you guys should know that I am saving the best for last. Meaning you'll have to stick it out to see the Puck/Rachel interaction. :]
It was a Thursday when Will Schuester found himself standing in front of his Sectionals-winning group of students that were affectionately labeled 'gleeks.' He had recently had his meeting with Principal Figgins who had congratulated him on winning at Sectionals, and offered his students a unique opportunity, and Will had felt that it was an excellent idea.
The twelve misfits stood in front of him, waiting to hear whatever he had called them all to the choir room for.
"Principal Figgins has asked us to preform a show for the local children's hospital a week from Saturday, and I also think that it would be a great idea for you guys." He said quickly, registering each of their faces.
Puck looked mildly bored; Finn was just grinning like usual; Quinn looked as if she were on the verge of tears; Kurt was smiling softly; and Rachel was beaming at Mr. Schuester's proposal. He knew that glee club was on the edge of falling apart from all of the drama from recent weeks, and he knew that this could really pull them together.
"Okay, but what's the catch?" He heard Mike Chang ask from the back of the group. Will sighed slightly before continuing.
"The hospital asked that we sing Disney songs, now I'm talking classic Disney, not High School Musical era Disney. In order to make this a little more fun for you guys, we're going to pair off like we did when we practiced ballads." He said, trying to block out that week from his memory. "The winning duo gets their own lead at Regionals next month." He smiled, and Rachel looked like she might start singing on the spot.
The rest of the group just shrugged and agreed. He quickly placed the hat full of names on the piano as he had all those weeks ago.
"Alright, Quinn, you're first." He said, brandishing the hat at her. She looked up at him, her lost eyes searching, before she stuck her hand in the hat and pulled out the card.
"Wheels." She said gently, before folding the paper again, and turning to the paraplegic boy, and walking to stand next to him. Artie swallowed quickly and offered her a genuine smile, which, to his surprise, she returned.
"I got Matt." Mercedes voice said from the right of the room. When Artie looked back to her she was holding a slip of paper between her fingers and walking to where the dark boy stood.
"We're gonna bring some chocolate thunder to these songs." She said, and they quickly bumped knuckles.
"Alright, Santana, you're next." Will prodded. The Latina looked bored as she walked up to their teacher. She quickly stuck her hand into the black hat pulling out a piece of paper.
"Tina." She said, her voice holding an irritable tone as she looked toward the Goth girl. Tina blinked before walking to stand with her partner. Mike was already to Mr. Schue hand out stretched.
"Britt." He grinned, and the blond squealed a little as she skipped to stand with him.
It was Kurt's turn to pick a name, and he walked in his always graceful manner to where the glee teacher stood, and he quickly plunged his hand into the hat, feeling the few slips left and pulled one out.
"Finn Hudson." He said with a breathless tone, smiling to the tall jock in the corner of the room.
"Again?" Finn asked puzzled, and somewhat rudely, but Kurt didn't let it phase him in the slightest.
Puck groaned and everyone in the room looked over to where he stood, including Rachel Berry.
"Looks like I get stuck with your crazy, Berry. Ain't it just my lucky day?" He asked sarcastically, and Mr. Schuester frowned at the Jewish boy.
"Actually, given how well both of our voices are destined to sound together, I would hypothesize-" But Puck had placed a large hand over the crazy girl's mouth.
"Talk like a damn human, Berry." He snapped before turning back to the teacher, not allowing her to retort to his brash comment.
Mr. Schuester cleared his throat and the group turned their attention from their various partners to look up to their teacher with curious eyes. He smiled at them all encouragingly, hoping that this would not prove to be a mistake.
"Well, now that you are paired up, I'm allowing you to pick your songs. Now remember, classic songs, nothing too modern age, we want this to be like a fairy tale for these kids. However, you guys will preform a predestined song together at the end of the show." He smiled, and they all looked to him.
"What song, Mr. S?" Finn asked, voicing everyone else's thoughts.
"'A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes' from Cinderella. Now, the performance is a week from Saturday, so I would suggest getting busy." He said quickly, and the group dispersed.
Rachel spotted Noah walking quickly towards the door and rushed to catch up with his long strides.
"Noah, what song would you like to sing for our performance?" She asked, still racing to keep up with him. He glanced down to her small frame and growled.
"Like I give a shit, Berry." With that he was too far for her to catch up with. She rolled her eyes at her luck of getting him as a partner.
Quinn watched this spectacle before looking back at her partner. He was smiling at her again, always happy with life.
"I know that our choreography might be tricky, but-" Artie said, looking at his motionless legs, before she put up a hand to stop him.
"No feeling sorry for ourselves, Artie, we're going to win this." Quinn said, a soft trace of a smile lighting up her face. He laughed his nerdy laugh and nodded along with her, "Hell yes, we will, Quinn. Cross my heart and hope to die."
"You're such a geek." She laughed a little, and helped push him out of the room.
Tina observed this interaction with a pang in her heart. She looked to Santana who was plucking her eyebrows.
"Look, whatever, we just need to pick a song and we can just meet at my house Sunday and rehearse." She said, obvious with obvious distaste for having Tina as a singing partner. Tina gritted her teeth and stepped forwards towards the brunette.
"I know that you don't want to be my partner, because you think I'm a freak. I don't care, but we're going to be civil with each other, because I don't like you either. But, that's because you're a bitch. See you Sunday." Tina said quickly, not stuttering once, and walked out the doors, leaving a stunned Santana in her wake.
Brittany smiled at Santana before looking to Mike.
"I'm really excited for this, Mike! It's better than when Coach Sylvester let me spray paint Rachel's locker!" She smiled, and Mike grinned and scooped the blond girl into his arms and squeezed her to him.
"You're so silly, Britt." He grinned.
"I know." She smiled back, hugging him again.
Matt gave Mike a thumbs up and turned back to his partner and smirked at her.
"We're so going to own this shit." Mercedes said, and Matt nodded with her, knowing that their vocals combined would be tough competition to beat.
"I know, they don't stand a chance. Bit unfortunately, really." He grinned to her, and they both turned to look at Finn and shook their heads sadly.
Finn saw them looking at him and raised a hand to wave at the dark duo, his goofy smile slipping slightly that no one else was around him.
"Well, Finn, I guess we need to get to work." Kurt said, causing Finn to jump slightly, and look at the homosexual boy behind him.
"Yeah, cool, man. How's Sunday?" He asked, wanting to leave as soon as possible.
"It's a date." Kurt smiled, and Finn didn't bother correcting him.
Mr. Schuester watched all the kids leave for the day, and smiled to himself. Hopefully some of them would find their happily ever afters. No one deserved it more than these kids.
