Get Lucky (Full Episode)

            

   1x12 - GET LUCKY         

James woke up, just like every day, 6:00 am, and he had exactly one hour to get ready to go to Pojoaque. He would attend his 3 daily classes, and, on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, he would go to Glee Club and sing and all that stuff. James got up, and there was something different, since last week, Tori was living with him, again, and they would talk and eat together, just like a couple, they looked more like a couple than when they were together, but James knew it wasn’t right to still live with your ex-wife, and Tori had found a job already, she wasn't earning as much as nurse but it was alright.

-Morning, James – Tori received James at the table, with some eggs and jam ready – Sit down for a moment, and enjoy the morning! – She said, smiling.

James, already dressed up and ready to leave, had no choice, he knew it was weird, but he had no other choice, he was the type of guy who was just too nice to say “no” – Sure, let’s do it – He smiled back, as he sat on the table.

Shortly, Tori followed him, and sat in the chair in front of him – You know something? – She asked – It’s really nice that we’ve learn to be civilized about all this process; we’re kind of friends now, right? – She asked once again.

James said “yes” with his head, taking another bite of his food – Yes, it’s really nice – He answered, cleaning his mouth with a towel, and then standing up – I have to run now, thanks for the breakfast, sere you at night – He said, taking his backpack with him and leaving the room. Tori just smiled, and continued to eat. _______________________

Back at Pojoaque, James began to teach his class, starting to feel dizzy and tired in the second period.

-Mr. Allen, are you ok? – One of his students asked – You look purple – She said

-Yeah, I’m fine – He said – I just need some water –He added, walking upon the desk, to take his bottle and drink some of the liquid.

-Mr. Allen, you don’t look good at all – Another student claimed – You should go see the nurse – The same student added –

-I think we should finish the class first and then… - James started, but seconds, after he felt his eyes close as he fell in the middle of the classroom, as the students stood up to help him. ______________________

-I’m really sad with what happened with Mr. Allen – Maya talked with Emily, and Sydney – Food poisoning sucks – She raised her eyebrow.

-Wondering how the hell he got it – Sydney said, looking at the girls – If I well remember, the only thing he is allergic to is turkey jam – She claimed, making a face.

-This is all too weird, but ,we’ll, I hope he gets better as soon as possible, Sectionals are next week and we only have one song ready, we need at least two – Emily reacted, nervous – Oh my god, glee practice! – She alarmed the other girls.

As the three girls ran to the auditorium, we hear More Than a Feeling playing, and as they arrive, the whole club is rehearsing the song.

Lily with Kyle (the Eargasmix): It's more than a feeling, when I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling) I begin dreaming (more than a feeling) 'Till I see Marianne walk away

Kyle with the Eargasmix: I see my Marianne walkin' away

Kyle: So many people have come and gone Their faces fade as the years go by Yet I still recall as I wander on As clear as the sun in the summer sky

They use some spins, a few hand shake in and there, they were trying really hard.

Lily with Kyle (The Eargasmix): It's more than a feeling, when I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling) I begin dreaming (more than a feeling) 'Till I see Marianne walk away I see my Marianne walkin' away

Lily (with Kyle): When I'm tired and thinking cold I hide in my music, forget the day (And dream of a girl I used to know) I closed my eyes and she slipped away (She slipped away)

Lily: It's more than a feeling,

Kyle (Lily with The Eargasmix): when I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling) I begin dreaming (more than a feeling) 'Till I see Marianne walk away

As they finish rehearsing, they clap for each other.

-That was really good –Lily claimed – We should use it – She added, proud.

-Yes, we should- Kyle supported the idea – But meanwhile, we better keep practicing, we have to be perfect – He said, trying to catch his breath.

-It’s a shame that Mr. Allen got intoxicated in this moment – Arfa pointed out – But we have to kill it, so when he comes back he can see how amazing we are – He added, being supported by everyone. _______________________

Meanwhile, at home again, James was trying to deal with his stomach, as Tori watched him.

-Do you need another paper bag? – The woman asked, a bit grossed out

-No, I’m fine – James said, seconds before throwing up in his pillow case.

-Yes, you do – Tori said, leaving the room to get one more bag – These kids – She laughed.

James was having the worst time of his life, he just wanted to sleep, but every time he tried to do, the nauseas came back to him. As he could, he grabbed his phone and dialed a number.

-Hannah? – He asked- I need you to do me a huge favor – He said, before grabbing the pillow case again to throw up. _________________________

The Eargasmix were in the Choir Room, disusing what to do with Sectionals in 6 days and the fact that they were not ready at all.

-We’re a mess! – Maya declared – We’re never going to make it – She yelled

-Oh come on, we’ve done better and Mr. Allen wasn’t here – Matt argued.

-Yeah, but we had Miss Ibarra – Jude also added to the fight

-We should give up now! – Maya declared.

- Hell no! – They heard a singing voice in the front door, all shocked to see Hannah there – Hello, little clubbers – She smiled.

- Miss Ibarra! – Jude, Alyce, and Matthew stood up to hug her.

-Who this is? - Joe asked, as Maya smiled.

-Hello guys – She smiled- I’ve missed you quite a lot – She added – And while James is at home, spending his whole day in his toilette, we’re going to be sure that you’re ready for next week, okay? – She motivated the kids.

The kids all smiled, some of them weren’t extremely happy but they had a coach, and that was enough for them.

-Hit It! – Hannah said to the band. _________________________

-Becca, stop right there! – Matthew said to his girlfriend – I want to invite you to Harrison – He smiled.

-Sure – She smiled – When? –

-Today? 7:00 pm? I’ll be at your house at 6:30 if you want – He smiled – I know you hate being late.

-Yeah – She said – I have class now, see you around – She added, kissing him – I love – She stopped – I love the idea of going –

- Yeah, I love it too – Matthew bit his lip, as she walked away – And I love you too – He said, in silence. ________________________

-And tell me this again, why do I have to help you? – Arfa asked, confused

-Because you are Becca’s best friend! – Matthew replied – Come on! Help a brother out! – He said.

-Alright – Arfa gasped – What do you want to know? – He asked

-I mean, you know that saying “I love you” to someone is kind of hard – He said – Help me make this moment an awesome one –

-Look, Becca is a really simple, down to earth girl, but just like every other diva, she also likes fancy stuff – Arfa nodded - You need to plan something really simple, but glorious at the same time –

-And that leaves me in the same place I was before – Matthew let his breath out

-Let me ask her a few things – Arfa replied – I’ll let you know tomorrow, don’t worry, Matthew, if she loves you back, she will love whatever you do – He smiled.

- Thank you so much! – Matthew said, walking away, leaving Arfa even more confused.

Arfa started to walk upon his locker, as Shane collided with him.

-Shane, dude – Arfa answered- What’s going on? – He asked, seeing Shane without his Basketball jacket.

-Coach Gambale kicked me out of the team – Shane whispered

-What? – Arfa asked, shocked – Why did he do that? You’re the best Power Forward we have! That’s insane – He added, losing his mind. -Well, let’s say I had it coming -

FLASHBACK -Come on, Saunders! – Gambale yelled at the kid – That’s not the way a Power Forward must act! MAN UP! – He yelled.

Shane tried to control himself, he was really mad, but he kind of deserved, as Coach had told him and Arfa not to be late after the Grease performance, but Shane had a pretty rough week; out of the city, and now he had to be on time and push forward to be better.

-I’m doing what I can, Coach! – Shane said, losing his breath – It’s the 15th lap I run! – He yelled

-It will be the first in my book if you don’t stop talking and keep on running! – Blaine said – You need to keep up with the rest of the team, you missed a whole week! –

Shane was getting more annoyed with each lap; Coach was getting on his nerves.

-I need water – Shane stopped in the middle of the 16th lap – Please –

-Did I tell you to stop? – Blaine asked, mad – Keep going! –

-I need water – Shane stood up for himself – I don’t think you want to be responsible for the death of someone –

-You’re not going to die for the lack of some water, boy – Blaine insisted – Man up – He yelled.

-You should man up! – Shane also yelled – Always going around treating all of us like slaves just to get a damn trophy you haven’t been able to get for the past 7 years – Shane added, looking at his coach.

-You better be careful with the things you say, Saunders – Blaine argued, mad – Or else, I’m kicking you from the team –

-I’m the best Power Forward you have – Shane breathed out – You wouldn’t do that –

-Watch me – Coach said – Shane, you’re out of the team, and now, go – Blaine added – Before I report you for being such a douche with a teacher – FLASHBACK ENDS

-Well, first of all, you shouldn’t have acted like that – Arfa protested – And second, did he actually call you a douche? – He added, shocked.

-Yes, he did – Shane rolled his eyes – Be careful, A, he may go after you now that I’m not in the team anymore –

-I’ll be careful – Arfa replied – But in the meantime, I think you should be careful, remember, the only thing that stopped everyone else from kicking our behinds was that we were part of the Basketball team –

-I know how to take care of myself – Shane laughed – Well, see you around, I have some classes – He added, walking away. _____________________

-Tori, you don’t really have to stay here all day – James said, still in bed – I’m already feeling better – He added.

-Look James, I care about you – The blonde said, touching her hair – It’s not a problem, remember that every time you used to get sick, I always took care of you –

-Come on; I can do all of this by myself – James smiled – Take a break, come on –He added, trying to convince her.

-Alright, I really need to do some phone calls, so, just give me a shout if you need something – Tori said – I’ll be downstairs. -I’ll do it – James said, as he saw Tori walk out the room.

-God, James – He said, resting his head in the pillow – Your life is so messed up – He commented. ______________________

-So, got it? – Arfa asked, kind of nervous.

-Yes, I’m totally ready – Matthew said, looking scared – I don’t want to look dumb or anything like that.

-You won’t, Matt – Arfa tried to serenade the boy – Just go ahead –He smiled

-Thank you, really – Matthew smiled as he entered the choir room, and he saw Hannah saying some stuff to the kids.

-Miss Ibarra – He asked, nervous – I know we’re kind of busy with Sectionals and all that, but may I be able to grab 2 minutes of the time to say something? – He finished, as Hannah looked at him.

-Sure, I wasn’t planning on you practicing today, we were just going to share some reviews for each other – Hannah smiled, as she stood up from the center chair – All yours –

Matthew sat down, as Arfa handled him the guitar.

-So, Becca – He smiled, looking at the blonde, who was confused – I really wanted to tell you this for the last couple of days, but I wasn’t able to figure out the way – He said

-Tell me what? – Becca asked, smiling nervous – What is it? –

-I think this song will clear it all up – Matthew smiled, as he began to play Waiting for a Girl like You in his guitar.

Matthew: So long, I've been looking too hard, I've been waiting too long Sometimes I don't know what I will find, I only know it's a matter of time

When you love someone, when you love someone It feels so right, so warm and true, I need to know if you feel it too Maybe I'm wrong, won't you tell me if I'm coming on too strong This heart of mine has been hurt before, this time I want to be sure

Becca looked at him, smiling the whole time, as the rest of the club looked at each other, in signal of complicity, even Kyler looked happy for them.

I've been waiting for a girl like you, to come into my life I've been waiting for a girl like you, your loving will survive

I've been waiting for someone new to make me feel alive Yeah, waiting for a girl like you to come into my life

When you love someone, yeah, really love someone Now I know it's right, from the moment I wake up till deep in the night There's nowhere on earth that I'd rather be than holding you tenderly

I've been waiting for a girl like you, to come into my life I've been waiting for a girl like you, your loving will survive

I've been waiting for someone new to make me feel alive Yeah, waiting for a girl like you to come into my life

After Matthew ended his performance he left his guitar on the chair, as he walked upon Becca, who was almost crying.

-Becca, I love you – He smiled – I love you – He repeated, shocked of the words he said- I love you! –

-I love you, too – Becca laughed, and then left a kiss in Matthew’s lips.

Hannah clapped for them, as she also interrupted.

-That was beautiful, Matt – She smiled, remembering how Matthew was at the beginning of his journey and the way he acted in that moment – Now, someone else who wants to make a love declaration? – She laughed. ________________________

-Shane, listen to me – Sydney was hugging her boyfriend – You don’t need a damn jacket to be awesome – She added – Haven’t you learned anything from me? – She laughed.

-I know – Shane protested – But, it had been a long time since I was called like that – He added

-Well, yeah, it’s not nice being called an oreo – She said, touching his hair – But you’re going to be fine, Shaney – She smiled

-I guess you’re right – He smiled – You’re always right –

-That’s a lie – Sydney laughed – If I was always right, I would still be wearing that cheerleader uniform, that now, I realize it’s ugly as hell – She said, making her boyfriend laugh – At least you jacket was pretty badass –

- Yeah it was – He smiled – Well, I guess I need a new hobby, now that I have nothing to do besides Glee and well, ballet, but, that’s not manly enough – He said, as Sydney punched him in the arm.

- Sorry, that was bad – Shane apologized

-Yes, it was – Sydney smiled – and now you’re less cute in my eyes – She laughed.

-What? – He asked, offended – Why? – He stood up from her lap just to face her with puppy eyes.

-Okay, you still as cute – Sydney kissed him.

-Yes! – Shane said, excited, as Sydney punched him again.

As they both laughed, Sydney’s mom walked into the room.

-Dinner’s ready, guys – She smiled – Nice to see you, Shane –

-Thank you Mrs. Oakley – Shane replied, standing up from the bed.

-Shane, me Cynthia – She said – It will make me feel younger – She added, before walking out of the room.

-Your mom rocks – Shane said to Sydney, kissing her.

-Yes, she does – She smiled. _______________________

-This is not right – Sydney commented – We shouldn’t be spying Rhythm Divine – She added

-We’re not spying – Emily replied – We’re just checking if they’re practicing today – She giggled.

-I don’t even think they will rehears for a while – Lily added – I mean, they just won – She said, as she opened the door from the auditorium.

In the moment they opened the door, Dream On by Aerosmith started playing, with Rhythm Divine in positions to perform.

Hayley: Every time when I look in the mirror All these lines on my face getting clearer The past is gone It went by, like dusk to dawn Isn't that the way Everybody's got the dues in life to pay

I know nobody knows Where it comes and where it goes I know it's everybody's sin You got to lose to know how to win

Half my life Is books, written pages Live and learn from fools and From sages You know it's true, oh All the things come back to yoU

Hayley and Rhythm Divine: Sing with me, sing for the year Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear Sing with me, just for today Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away

Hayley noticed them, and began to do more vocal runs, leaving most of Rhythm Divine confused, but still doing the performance.

Hayley: Dream on Dream on Dream on Dream until your dreams come true

Rhythm Divine (Hayley): Dream on Dream on Dream on Dream on (Dream!)

Hayley: Sing with me; sing for the year Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear Sing with me, just for today maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away.

As the performance ended, the three Eargasmix looked at each other.

-Holy damn – Sydney said – We better go -

-Yep – Emily agreed.

The three girls slowly walked out of the auditorium, as Lily turned around for a second, she saw Hayley waving at her, in signal of mocking. _________________________

-Were they any good? – Arfa asked

-They were fantastic – Emily claimed – They don’t even take a day off, they practice 24/7 – She said, combing her hair.

-Then we have to be better already – Arfa replied – But, I mean, Miss Ibarra is awesome, but with her work at Rio Rancho she is just able to come twice a week, and on Fridays we’re a mess practicing by our own – The boy gasped.

-Yeah, I agree – Emily let her head rest in Arfa’s shoulder – But how are we supposed to be better? –

-I think I have something in mind, but, I need the help of some people – He said, standing up – I need to send some texts, see you on glee – He said, kissing Emily and walking away.

Emily then was left alone, thinking if her boyfriend’s idea was good. ________________________

Back in his house, James was already able to eat without throwing up the moment after; Tori, for once, was out of the house.

-I really want to thank you for this huge favor you’re doing to me – He said, eating a spoon of soup – I’m glad that you still have that connection with the kids –

-It’s my pleasure, James – Hannah smiled – I love those kids, and I’m helping as much as I’m able to, Sectionals is next Friday and they’re doing such an amazing job with the songs-

-Oh right – James reacted – How are they doing with More Than a Feeling? – He asked, curious.

-They decided to throw the song away – Hannah nodded – They weren’t feeling it, also, they were struggling with the choreography – She added

-I see – James raised his eyebrow – So, then, which songs did you select? – ________________________

-Well, you sloppy dorks – Shane smiled, looking at The Eargasmix – We’re going to be perfect for Sectionals, you get it? – He said, as the whole club agreed.

-Now, I asked Shane for help, because he is obviously the best dancer out of all of us, so, I’m kindly asking you to dance! – Arfa said.

-Now, I’m going to give you a little demonstration of how is done, so, I’m doing some steps and you follow them, got it? – Shane asked.

-Got it – the entire club said, together.

-Then, Sydney, please? – He asked, as Sydney turned the music on, Bust a Move, by Young MC…

Shane began to sing, as well, to dance.

Shane: This here's a tale for all the fellas Tryin' to do what those ladies tell us Get shot down cause ya over-zealous Play hard to get females get jealous Okay smarty go to a party Girls are scantily clad and showin' body A chick walks by you wish you could sex her But you're standing on the wall like you was Poindexter Next days function high class luncheon Food is served and you're stone-cold munchin'

The club then tried to follow his steps, some of them doing it right, some of them not…

She's dressed in yellow; she says "Hello, come sit next to me you fine fellow." You run over there without a second to lose And what comes next hey bust a move

Sydney and The Eargasmix Girls (Shane): You want it, you got it, You want it, baby you got it (Just bust a move) You want it, you got it, You want it, baby you got it

Shane: Your best friend Harry has a brother Larry In five days from now he's gonna marry He's hopin' you can make it there if you can 'Cause in the ceremony you'll be the best man

As the music continued, Shane helped all the members he was able to.

You say neat-o, check your libido And roll to the church in your new tuxedo The bride walks down just to start the wedding And there's one more girl you won't be getting So you start thinkin' then you start blinking The bridesmaid looks and thinks that you're winking She thinks your kinda cute so she winks back And now you’re feelin' really firm 'cause the girl is stacked Reception's jumpin' bass is pumpin' You look at the girl and your heart starts thumpin' Says she wants to dance to a different groove Now you know what to do G bust a move

Sydney and The Eargasmix Girls (Shane): If you want it, you got it You want it, baby you got it (Just bust a move) You want it, you got it,

Shane: Bust a Move!

When the song ended, Shane clapped.

-Okay, guys, that was nice – He smiled – One more time, now – He added – But, what about trying this time? – Shane laughed, as Sydney played the song again. __________________________

-So, Eargasmix, we’ve had a pretty rough week, you have Sectionals this Friday! – Hannah cheered – Which means, that we have 4 days to kill it at rehearsal so we can kill it at the competition – She added.

-We wouldn’t be able to compete without you, Miss Ibarra – Lily said – You were an amazing coach back then and you are still one –

-Thank you, Lily – Hannah smiled – Thank you all, honestly –

-You’re welcome, Miss Ibarra – Arfa commented – You deserve it –

-I know I do – Hannah laughed – But, this glee club wouldn’t be a thing without the one and only; James Allen – She said, looking at the door –

-Glee! – James walked through the door, as the kids clapped for him – It’s awesome to be back…again – He smiled.

-So, we have two coaches now? – Matt asked – Cool

-Kind of – Hannah confirmed – I start my vacation at Rio Rancho today, which means that I may be able to help over here a little bit more – She smiled – Well, only if James let me –

-Of course you can – James smiled – Also, we need all the help we can get – He added, gasping – Well, let’s get to work! – He said

-But before – Hannah interrupted – The kids want to tell you something –

-Is it that you’re going to sing welcome songs each time I come back? – James smiled

-You may get lucky – Kyler commented. _________________________

Now in the auditorium, the band plays Get Lucky by Daft Punk, as James and Hannah watch the Eargasmix perform.

Kyler: Like the legend of the Phoenix, huh All ends with beginnings what keeps the planets spinning (uh) the force from the beginning

(Look)

Emily took James’ and Hannah’s hand and took them to the stage, were both also performed the song with the glee club.

Kyler with James: We've come too far to give up who we are So let's raise the bar and our cups to the stars

Kyler: She's up all night to the sun I'm up all night to get some She's up all night for good fun I'm up all night to get lucky

We're up all night to the sun We're up all night to get some We're up all night for good fun We're up all night to get lucky

We're up all night to get lucky We're up all night to get lucky We're up all night to get lucky We're up all night to get lucky

As they kept going, James smiled, sure that they would beat anyone else at Sectionals…he just knew it.

The Eargasmix: We're up all night to get We're up all night to get We're up all night to get We're up all night to get

Kyler (The Eargasmix, Hannah, and James): We've (we're up all night to get lucky) Come too far (we're up all night to get lucky) To give up (we're up all night to get lucky) Who we are (we're up all night to get lucky) So let's (we're up all night to get lucky) Raise the bar (we're up all night to get lucky) And our cups (we're up all night to get lucky) To the stars (we're up all night to get lucky)

When they finished the performance, they all clapped for each other, as they shared a big group hug.
