The Road So Far
So, i'm back... I was sick, so I had this idea. This is how MY Episode would be. Just for fun... I hope you enjoy it.
INFORMATION #1: I used songs Glee covered before, but I re-wrote the lyrics. Please, don't be harsh with me, I was just being funny.. It is supposed to be a funny thing, so, please, don't go harsh on me because of the lyrics; I hope you like it :D
INFORMATION #2: The words in "Stand up" and "Get back on my/your feet" and such, are used here in a mataphorical sense... I know people in wheelchairs can't stand up or walk... So... It means getting life back on tracks and moving on and making life better.
INFORMATION #3: I recommend you listen to the songs while reading it... It may help you to picture the moment.
INFORMATION #4: This is supposed to be fun... It's not a serious storyline. I just want to make people laugh or have fun reading the songs. The main item are the songs... But the scenes are a bonus. Like I said, please don't take this particular blog too seriously like the others... Just have fun.
INFORMATION #5: The scenes don't actually happen one after the other... There are other scenes between every song, but I didn't write them. I'll just explain what happened before the song scene.
Song list:
A Truck On The Road (Smooth Criminal) by Sebastian and The Warblers with Rachel
The Light In You (Little Drummer Boy) by Artie
Badass (Bad) by Santana; Blaine; Brittany and Tina with Quinn
Try (Human Nature) by Puck with Quinn
You Will Be Alright (Black or White) by New Directions
.*The episode starts with everybody in the same room.*
.*Rachel paces across the room.*
Finn – “Rachel… You got to decide what to do. We already postponed the wedding for almost an hour. And that’s because they were kind enough to let the other couple go first.”
Rachel – “Just one more minute. She texted me. She said she’s on her way.”
Finn – “We don’t have one more minute to wait.”
.*Everybody stares at Rachel.*
.*Santana lets out a sigh and starts whispering.*
Santana – “Argh! I can’t wait one more second… We’ve been waiting here for an hour. I’m going home.”
.*Rachel looks around at everyone and then back at Finn.*
Rachel - “Okay… Let’s go.”
.*Santana sits again.*
Mr. Schue – “Let’s go… We can wait for her there.”
.*Rachel nods and everybody starts to leave the room.*
.*The scene cuts to the Warblers’ choir room.*
.*The warblers are in a frenzy and Sebastian is taking center stage.*
Sebastian – “Warblers, you must be wondering why I called you here… Is with great pleasure that I introduce you, 2 Cellos’ Sulic and Hauser. I talked to my father and they agreed to help us win Regionals. So, I have the perfect song for us to sing…”
.*Warblers get super excited when they see Sulic and Hauser show up.*
.*Sebastian waves his hands and tells everyone to sit down.*
.*The scene goes back to the wedding room. Everyone’s in their places and Finn is at the altar waiting for Rachel.*
.*The wedding song starts to play and the door is opend.*
.*Hiram starts to walk in with Rachel. Rachel smiles.*
.*Carol starts to cry and Burt starts to laugh because of that.*
.*Rachel gets to the altar and stands beside Finn.*
.*The ceremony starts and suddenly Rachel’s phone starts to ring.*
.*Rachel looks at Tina. Tina looks down at the phone.*
Tina – “It’s Quinn.”
.*Rachel looks at Finn. Finn nods.*
.*The scene goes back to the Warblers’ choir room.*
.*Everything’s set and 2 Cellos are ready. Sebastian is standing next to them.*
.*They start to play slowly and in a lower volume; almost as a background track.*
.*It goes back to the wedding room.*
.*Rachel takes the phone and answers.*
Rachel – “Hello. Quinn, where are you? The ceremony’s already started. Quinn?”
Officer – “Hello, madam. This is officer Stravinsky… I’m calling in the name of Quinn Fabray.”
Rachel – “Officer, what happened?”
.*The song slowly starts to play as the officer explains what happened.*
Officer – “There’s been an accident… When we checked the car this phone was intact and the last number dialed was yours, so, we figured you’d be part of her family or friends. Ms. Fabray’s car was hit by a truck on the road. She’s in the hospital.”
.*In slow motion camera we see Rachel drop the phone as the song starts to play loudly.*
.*The scene quickly cuts to Sebastian performing.*
(Sebastian and The Warblers)
.*As she came into the screen-een
We heard the sound of
Something creepy
She ran back to her apartment
To get her dress
For the wedding
She got a text from Rachel
To reply was
A temptation
She was looking to her phone and
He just hit her
It was her doom!*
.*The scene cuts to the crash scene. We see Quinn being cared by paramedics and the camera shows one of the paramedics’ face. We can’t hear his voice, but we can read his lips as he keeps asking “Are you okay? Are you okay?” and Sebastian and the warblers continue to sing.*
.*Quinnie, are you okay? So, Quinnie, are you okay? Are you okay, Quinnie?
Quinnie, are you okay? So, Quinnie, are you okay? Are you okay, Quinnie?
Quinnie, are you okay? So, Quinnie, are you okay? Are you okay, Quinnie?
Quinnie, are you okay? So, Quinnie, are you okay? Are you okay, Quinnie?"*
.*The scene cuts to Rachel crying and everyone holding her.*
.* Quinnie, are you okay? Would you tell us that you're okay?
There's a sign in the window
That he struck you
It's all crushed, Quinnie!*
.*While the song plays the screen shows the whole crash. We can see Quinn’s car flying and flipping around.*
.*He came out while you were texting
You didn't see him
Getting closer
You were looking to your phone and
He just hit you
It was your doom!
Quinnie, are you okay…
Are you okay, Quinnie?
You’ve been hit by
You’ve been struck by
A truck on the road.*
.*We hear the instrumental bridge of the song as the scene cuts back to the wedding room.*
Tina – “Oh my God!”
Mercedes – “I can’t believe this!”
Kurt – “How is she? Is it too bad?”
Brittany – “I hope she’s okay.”
Santana - .*hugs Brittany and wipes tears.*
Mr. Schue – “Guys! Guys! We gotta stay calm!”
Puck – “How can we stay calm in a situation like this?”
Sam – “Puck’s right… We gotta go to the hospital!”

Leroy – “Yes… Yes…”
Hiram – “Rachel, honey, we gotta go.”
.*Burt leads Kurt to the door.*
.*Rhythm starts to increase.*
Finn – “Why? How…How did this happen? Are we still getting married?”
Rachel – [I don’t knooooooooooow!]
.*Everybody turns around to look at Rachel.*
.*We see mixed scenes of both wedding room and the Warblers’ performance.*
.*Quinnie, are you okay? Would you tell us that you're okay?
There's a sign in the window [I don’t know]
That he struck you
It's all crushed, Quinnie! [I don’t know]
He came out while you were texting [I don’t know]
You didn't see him
Getting closer [I don’t know why, baby]
You were looking to your phone and [I don’t know]
He just hit you
It was your doom! [Poor Quinnie].*
Quinnie, are you okay… [Can’t go on, baby]
Would you tell us that you’re okay? [We can’t go on, baby]
There’s a sign in the window [We can’t go on, baby]
That he struck you [Hoo]
It’s crushed, Quinnie [Hoo]
He came out while you were texting [Can’t do this]
You didn’t see him
Getting closer
You were looking to your phone and [Hoo; Hoo]
He just hit you [Can’t do this]
It was your doom, Quinnie
You've been hit by
[She's been struck by]
A truck on the road.*
.*Screen goes white and we see the logo in black letters “Glee”.*
.*Commercial break*
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
The shock overwhelming... When finally woke up and had time to understand what was going on, the doctor told her she would be in a wheelchair. They didn't say if it would be forever or just for a short time... She completly lost all her plans and her life was over... But then, someone different from the ohers decided to pay her a visit.
.*The scene starts with Quinn in the hospital, lying on her bed.*
.*A nurse opens the door and Artie is revealed.*
.*Quinn stares at Artie, he gets in and the nurse closes the door.*
Artie – “Hey.”
Quinn – “Artie? What are you doing here?”
.*Quinn wipes her face.*
Artie – “I want to talk to you…”
Quinn – “Look, if you’re going to give me a speech about not getting down then do-“
Artie – “I want to tell you a story. My story actually.”
Quinn – “Thank you, but I don’t think it’ll make me feel better.”
Artie – “You know, you hear me walk around telling people I’m proud of who I am… Don’t get me wrong, I am… It’s just that, I never told anyone, besides my mom, about how I felt when I found out I would not be able to walk again…”
.*Quinn stares intensively at Artie.*
Artie – “No one actually related to it, you know? I was eight when that car hit us… All I could remember at the time was the pain. The intense pain I felt. When the doctors came and told my mom I couldn’t walk anymore and she told me, I felt lost. Of course a kid wouldn’t understand what I understand today… It just wasn’t right! I used to look out the window and see all the kids running around and jumping up and down, but I couldn’t do it. You know what my biggest dream was?”
Quinn – “To be a director?”
Artie – “I want to be a director, but my biggest dream is that one day I’ll be able to stand up… And just… Dance.”
.*Quinn laughs and Artie smiles.*
Quinn – “But you can work that wheelchair like no other… You know?”
.*The two laugh.*
Artie – “Oh, I know that… But, can you imagine this… If I’m in a wheelchair and I’m this hot, imagine what I could do standing...”
Quinn – “Yes.”
.*They laugh again.*
Artie – “I know that it sucks when people come to you and someone tells you to be strong and that they understand you… When they don’t. But, I actually found out you have to be strong for life to go on. I felt lost, insecure, small… I thought I would never be happy or make any of my dreams come true, but look where I am right now… I went to New York; I directed a TV especial; I’m in the football team… And I’m positive that my dreams will come true. You’ll find out, and you’ll realize you’ve been wrong all of this time you were feeling sorry for yourself. Life’s not over.”
Quinn – “Artie, thank you for sharing your story with me, but, I don’t think I have any option left.”
Artie – “I’m not saying it is a good thing, or that you don’t have to be sad. Some days you’ll feel like crap. But, when you say no, and you fight and you say "I ain’t gonna take this", that’s when your future changes.”
.*Quinn stays silent and Artie just looks at her. We hear ‘Little Drummer Boy’ starting to play.*
.*Artie starts to sing.*
(Artie)
.* So, you see this world as cruel and wrong
It is not fair to you that your life is done
And all the hopes you had just seem to be gone
I know just what you feel
I thought I was done
But I was wrong
Yes, I was wrong
So
To live your dreams you have to be strong
Cuz that’s when they come.*
.*Camera focuses on Quinn’s face and we see tears streaming down her face.*
.* There is nothing that you cannot mend
It is not easy, but I know that you can
Before you realize you’ll be happy again
I guarantee to you
This is not the end
Try to stand
You’ll walk again
I am here with you; you know I’m your friend
Just hold my hand
Yeah; yeah.*
.*Artie holds Quinn’s hand as she cries harder.*
.* In the sky your star shines so bright
You have a light in you that no one can hide
You have your friends with you; we’re here by your side
And we believe in you
We know you’ll survive
And just in time
You’ll be alright
When this day has come we’ll sing one more song
Together as one.*
Artie – “What the doctors said?”
Quinn – “They… They said I might never be able to walk again…”
Artie – “But…?”
Quinn – “But, there are good chances this is just my body reacting to the accident and I’ll be fine someday.”
Artie – “You see? I didn’t have this option, but that never, for one second, made me lose hope… There are people out there that are in a really dark place… worse than us, but when they see the sun’s not coming out for them, they make their day brighter themselves.”
.*The nurse comes in.*
.*Artie starts to leave the room, but stops by the door.*
Artie – “Bye, Quinn. I hope you feel better and that one day, you find what makes you happy.”
.*Artie smiles, waves his hand and leaves.*
.*Commercial break.*

After going back home, Quinn is in her bedroom thinking about life when her friends come visit her.
.*The scene starts with Quinn in her room. She’s lying on her bed.*
.*Judy Fabray knocks on the door.*
Judy – “Quinnie? Honey, your friends are here to see you.”
.*Judy opens the door and peeks inside.*
Judy – “Honey, you’re friends are here.”
.*Quinn wipes her face, inhales deeply and places her hair.*
Quinn – “Let them in.”
.*Judy nods and opens the door completely and walks out of the way.*
.*We see Santana; Brittany; Tina and Blaine walk in.*
.*Judy nods one more time, closes the door and leaves.*
Tina – “Hi, Quinn, we wanted to see you. We miss you in school.”
Quinn – “Thank you, but I don’t think I feel like dancing in glee club right now.”
Blaine – “We just wanted to know how you’re feeling. Kurt couldn’t come, but he sent you flowers. Are you feeling any better?”
Quinn – “Well, define better… If you mean about the pain… Yes… I can’t feel anything from my waist down so…”
Brittany – “We brought you flowers… Charity and I pick those for you.”
Quinn – “Thank you.”
Santana – “Okay, that’s it…”
Tina – “Santana…”
Blaine – “I really don’t think this is the time for-“
Santana – “I don’t care! Where is she?”
Quinn – “Where’s who?”
Tina – “Santana, what are you talking about?”
Santana – “Where is the bitch I know? The girl who wouldn’t take any kind of crap coming her way… The girl who would just get back on her feet, prettier than never and just shake it off… Where is she?”
Quinn – “Guess what? She can’t do much right now… In fact she can’t do anything. She can’t get back on her feet. She's tried!”
.*Quinn starts to cry. Santana frowns.*
Santana – “It doesn’t mean she’s not there… Excuse me while I remind you of who you are…”
.*Santana backs off the bed and we hear ‘Bad’ starting to play.*
(Santana)
.*You can’t deny
And you know I’m right
You’re just too tough
To just give up
I’m telling you
About what I see
The stronger girl
That is living here.*
.*Santana touches Quinn’s heart area when saying “That is living here”.*
.*C’mon
C’mon
Come out here
All right
It’s in your eyes
And it’s burning bright
So listen up
You’re gonna start to fight
And don’t believe
That you’re not up for it
Believe in me
Cause I know you can
(Blaine)
And I know you think you’re losing
That there’s nothing you can do
But my friend you have seen nothing
Just wait and you’ll get through.*
.*Brittany and Tina join Santana and Blaine in the song.*
.* Because you’re bad (Badass)
Badass
You know (You know you’re bad ass)
You know you’re bad (Badass)
Bad ass
You know it (You know you’re badass)
You know you’re bad (Badass)
Badass
You know (You know you’re badass)
We know
And I’m sure that you can turn this around
Just believe me when I say
You’re badass.*
.*Quinn looks at them and smiles.*
.* [Dum, dum, dum, dum dum, dum dum, dum, dum dum, dum, dum, dum, dum dum...]
[Oh, oh, oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh…]
Quinn, you are bad (Badass)
Badass
You know (You know you’re badass)
You know you’re bad (Badass)
Badass
You know it
We know
And (we’re sure that you can turn this around) (Hoo; hoo)
(Just believe us when we say)
(You’re bad ass).*
.*Santana invites Quinn to sing with her hand. Quinn smiles.*
(Quinn with Santana; Blaine; Brittany and Tina as back up)
.*You’re right, I’m bad (Badass)
Badass
You know it (We know you’re badass)
And I’m sure that I can turn this around
I believe you when you say
I’m badass.*
.*Everyone starts to laugh.*
Santana – “Look, I know it sucks, but it’s not about how much it hurts, but how you take it. Look at Artie, he’s handicap since he was a kid, yet, he knows how to have fun… He wants to show people they can’t bring him down. You’re strong. You’re fierce…”
Brittany – “You’re bad ass.”
.*Everyone laughs again. Brittany smiles.*
Santana (In a laugh like voice) – “Yes… I believe you can turn this thing around and take the best out of it. We believe it. The whole glee club. You’re family.”
Blaine – “We’re here to help and support you, no matter what.”
Tina – “Yes.”
.*Quinn smiles.*
Quinn – “Thanks guys… You are my family.”
Brittany – “Group hug?”
.*Everyone laughs again.*
Quinn; Santana; Tina and Blaine – “Yes!!”
.*Everyone leans closer to Quinn and hugs her.*
.*Pause.*

After a few exams, Quinn had to go back to the hospital. Doctor told her she's doing fine and that the chances of walking again are very good, since no part of her spine was hurt. the news makes Quinn feel a little bit better, but she's still sad. She can't be on the Cheerios in a wheelchair.
.*The scene starts with Quinn on the hospital. She’s in her bed.*
.*We hear a knock on the door and Puck suddenly opens the door.*
Puck – “Can I come in?”
Quinn – “Yes.”
.*Quinn shifts on the bed and Pucks gets in and closes the door. He sits beside Quinn.*
Puck – “I got you flowers…”
Quinn – “Thank you.”
.*Quinn smiles and Puck put the flowers down on the table.*
Puck – “So, are you feeling better?”
Quinn – “A Little bit… I can’t move my legs…”
Puck – “I heard… I’m sorry.”
Quinn – “It’s okay. I hated it at first… It ruined any chance I had in the Cheerios, it practically destroyed my life. But then Artie came here and told me a little bit about his story… I don’t know, it made mine seem so… Small, you know?”
Puck – “Yeah… He’s been in that wheelchair since he was eight. It must be hard. You think you’ll be in the wheelchair forever?”
Quinn – “I don’t know… Maybe… Maybe not. There isn’t a clear answer for now. They decided not to give me hopes and then finding it won’t be the way they thought it would be. That’s why I’m back here.”
.*Puck nodded.*
Puck – “I, um… I brought my guitar, if that’s okay. I wanted to sing a song.”
.*Quinn giggles.*
Quinn – “Sure.”
Puck – “Can you help me?”
.*Quinn frowns hesitantly.*
Puck – “C’mon. It’ll make you feel better. I promise. Look, if you need any help, I’m here for you, okay?”
Quinn – “Okay.”
.*Quinn smiles and Puck starts playing ‘Human Nature’. Quinn starts singing.*
(Quinn)
.*Looking back
To what I have been
I had the world here in my hands
But then that truck
Hit my window
I thought it was the end.*
.*Puck starts singing.*
(Puck)
.*Don’t get down
Just keep on fighting
I’m sure you’ll get through all of this
I’ll help you out
Lean on my shoulder
And I’ll always be here.*
(Both)
.*It may feel like
Like
The light that’s in your life is fading
And
And
You can’t see any other way
But if you try
Try
You’ll find the strength that you were needing
And then
You will be smiling once again, yeah.
And you’ll be living again
You’ll be loving again
Oh, why…
Oh, why…
(Quinn)
Looking out
Across the morning
My heart is happy with every beat
Standing now
I’m one step closer
So we can live this dream
(Both)
It may feel like
Like (Like, like, like)
The light that’s in your life is fading
And
And
You can’t see any other way
Try (just try; try; just try; oh)
You’ll find the strength that you were needing
And
Then
You will be smiling once again
And you’ll be living again
You’ll be loving again
Oh, why…
Oh, why…
Try
Try
You’ll find the life that you were missing
Try.*
Quinn - "Well, that was... interesting. Thank you."
.*Puck nods.*
.*The scene ends.*

.*The scene starts with Artie going in Quinn’s room.*
Quinn – “Artie? What are you doing here? Weren’t you supposed to be on Senior Skip Day with the rest of the glee club?”
Artie – “Yes… And so were you.”

Artie – “I decided to take you to a different place… You have your wheelchair, right? You know how to use it?”
Quinn – “Yes…”
Artie – “Then let’s go… My parents are taking us to a special place. Your mother’s coming too.”

Don’t worry
You will be alright.*
.*Santana takes front and pulls Quinn closer to them.*
(Santana with the rest of the New Directions)
.* I am trying to stand up
I ain’t going to stop
I ain’t going to give up
Join me so we can fight
I ain’t scared to go further
I ain’t scared to proceed
I decided to go on
Show everyone I can win.*
.*Artie starts to rap and the wheelchair kids take front.*
(Artie)
.* In action
We’re pushing limitation
Showing strength and determination
It’s a tough war
On a global scale
I hear the people saying I’ll fail
I’ve been to all of these places
These faces
Spaces
Seeing people just like me
Racing
I’ve seen the bright get duller
I’m not gonna waste my life being a downer.*
.*Quinn smiles and everyone starts to dance. Judy Fabray starts crying.*
(Kurt)
.* So tell me you agree with me
And together we can have a great time
But… If you’re thinking about what could have been
Don’t worry
You will be alright.*
