A/N: Welcome Back! I am so excited when I saw the reads, follows, and favorite alerts for this story. So last chapter we have an appearance by Sebastian. Although I am a major Smytheberry OTP, this story is Claringberry. But, decided to throw Sebastian in the mix . Also some of the older Warblers show up to visit. Kurt and Rachel are auditioning for new members. It's nice to see other students coming to audition, especially since first season when they couldn't get anyone. Glee was disbanded, but Rachel is back to revive New Directions.

Disclaimer: I do not own Glee, characters, or song lyrics.

**************************

 Kurt arrived to McKinley early and ready to audition new members of New Directions. He was surprised to find Rachel sitting at her desk.

Kurt: Rachel, please for the love of Barbra, tell me you went home to sleep!

Rachel: Yes Kurt, I went home. I stayed late last night.

Kurt: Why?

Rachel: Because...I got a surprise visit.

Kurt: Please tell me (or not) it was Hunter?! I need my gossip.

Rachel: I said nothing about Hunter. It was actually a former Warbler. I believe you used to call him 'Meerkat' and Craigslist' although still don't know what THAT means.

Kurt: What the hell did HE want? I thought we were rid of him?!

Rachel: How is it you approve of Hunter but not Sebastian?

Kurt: He nearly blinded Blaine.

Rachel: And Hunter lied, stole and cheated. He and the Warblers used steroids.

Kurt: Sebastian annoys me.

Rachel: Kurt, don't hate me but isn't it time to put the fued to rest? It was three years ago. He isn't even interested in Blaine. He even tried to ask me out.

Kurt: You said no right?!

Rachel: I'm not sure yet. I don't think it would hurt. I always found him very attractive.

Kurt: Whatever. Let's get these auditions out of the way. Oh Blaine wants to stop by your house with some old friends but til me not to tell you WHO yet, it's a surprise.

Rachel: Sounds fun, it will be nice to entertain. WOW there is something you never expected to hear from me.

*Knock, Knock*

??: Hey strangers! Mind if I help you with your search?

Rachel: Sammy!!

Kurt: Sam Evans, you're back! It will be cool if we could get the whole gang back.

Rachel: We would LOVE your help Sam, and you're invited to a party at my house tonight.

Sam: Oh gawd, hide the liquor.

Rachel: Aww Sam, are you afraid to kiss me? Lol

Sam: Never, plant one on me.

Rachel: Aren't you afraid that Mercedes won't approve?

 Sam: We're on a break. Anyways who's first.

The trio walk to the Auditorium. They see the potential candidates waiting to audition.

Kurt: Wow, this brings back memories.

Rachel: And not half as many auditioned when it was us in the beginning.

Rachel: Good morning everyone! I'm Rachel Berry, and these two are my co-judges, Sam Evans and Kurt Hummel. We are members of the old New Directions. This is a new beginning, and we.need to show Sue Sylvester that she will no longer silence us. Just relax and have fun. First up, we have Roderick. Roderick steps onstage, he was a husky guy with glasses. (A/N:Noah Gunthrie has been cast as Roderick in Season 6)

Roderick: Hello I'm Roderick, and I'll be performing "The Death of Me ."

Kurt: Whenever you're ready.

THE DEATH OF ME

(Music and Lyrics by Noah Guthrie & Isaac Hasson)

With the crack of her whip she had me fall in line
Then she whispered in my ear
“You will be mine”
Never hit so hard by a speeding train
Black and blue but I dig the pain

She’ll be the death of me
And throw me into the street
Leave me to waste away
Find a new boy to play
‘Cause I fell for the swing of her hips
And her lovely chord
Took me away
She’ll be the death of me
I’m thrown out by the queen

Boy ya better choose your poison carefully
She’s a bombshell loaded up with artillery
When you’re locked in her sites
There’s no escape
Lay your heart on the line and let it break

She’ll be the death of me
And throw me into the street
Leave me to waste away
Find a new boy to play
‘Cause I fell for the swing of her hips
And her lovely chord
Took me away
She’ll be the death of me
I’m thrown out by the queen

I tried to pick up the pieces
But nothing remains
And all the dreams that I had
They just went up in flames
Left my love on the floor
But my heart you will take

‘Cause she’ll be the death of me
And throw me into the street
Leave me to waste away
Find a new boy to play
‘Cause I fell for the swing of her hips
And her lovely chord
Took me away
She’ll be the death of me
I’m thrown out by the queen

Rachel was shocked by his bluesy sound. She, Sam, and Kurt shared a knowing look..yes Roderick is definitely in.

Sam: Thank you, Roderick, that was AMAZING!

Rachel: Next is...Mason and Madison (A/N: Laura Dreyfuss and Billy Lewis Jr, who will play the twin Cheerios Season 6)

Rachel: You're Cheerios and Twins? What will you sing?

Mason: Take me or leave me from Rent.

Kurt: Brave choice especially considering Miss Rachel and Mercedes had a diva off to this very song.

Madison: We can handle it.

Take Me Or Leave Me"

(Madison)
Every single day
 I walk down the street
 I hear people say
 "Baby's so sweet"

 Ever since puberty
 Everybody stares at me
 Boys, girls
 I can't help it baby

(Mason)

 So be kind
 And don't lose your mind
 Just remember
 That I'm your baby

(Madison)

 Take me for what I am
 Who I was meant to be
 And if you give a damn
 Take me baby or leave me
 Take me baby or leave me

(Mason)

 A tiger in a cage
 Can never see the sun
 This diva needs her stage
 Baby, let's have fun!

 You are the one I choose
 Folks would kill to fill your shoes
 You love the limelight too, now baby

 So be mine
 And don't waste my time
 Cryin', "Oh Honeybear
 Are you still my, my, my baby?"

(Madison)

 Take me for what I am
 Who I was meant to be

(Both)
 And if you give a damn
 Take me baby or leave me

(Mason)

 No way, can I be what I'm not

(Madison)
 But hey, don't you want your girl hot?

(Mason)
 Don't fight, don't lose your head

(Madison)
 'Cause every night, who's in your bed?

(Mason)

 Who, who's in your bed?
 Kiss, pookie

(Madison)

 That's it! The straw that breaks my back
 I quit, unless you take it back
 Women, what is it about them?
 Can't live with them or without them!

(Both)

 Take me for what I am
 Who I was meant to be
 (Who I was meant to be)

(Mason)
 And if you give a damn
 (And if you give a damn ya better)
 Take me baby or leave me

(Madison)
 (Oh take me baby, take me or leave me)

(Mason)
 Take me baby

(Both)
 Or leave me

(Both)

 Guess I'm leaving
 I'm gone!

Rachel: Oh my gosh, Mercedes will be so proud as I am.

Mason: Thank you,Miss Rachel. It's an honor.

 The rest of the morning flew by, and Rachel was ready to go home.

Rachel: Thank you so much for trying out gang. We will post the list at the end of the week. I want you guys to realm want this, but also enjoy high school. Please do not make the mistakes that I made. I got so caught up with my dreams and left me friendless and heartache. I made some mistakes I wish I could take back. By those decisions led me here. Maybe things happen for a reason. If you come here with an attitude, check your attitudes at the door. We will not go through the problems we has before. Bullying will NOT be tolerated, we work as a team.Together we can do this. Have a great day gang!

Kurt: Wow some amazing singers..where were they when we started?

Sam: They would've had to fight Rach for solos.

Rachel: Haha

Kurt checked his phone. "Hey we better get to your house. Blaine and company are there."

Rachel: Gosh they don't give mw to clean or take a shower.

Kurt: Please your house is spotless.

Sam: Who knows maybe Hunter (or Sebastian) can help you with that shower.

Rachel: Shut up.

Kurt: Let us get a move on...

********** Fifteen minutes later***********

Rachel: Blaine Anderson, you are going to help me clean up from this mess.

Blaine: Rachie, don't you trust me?

Rachel: I have seen you drunk. I have partied with you. I have witnessed you throwing toilet paper around.

Blaine: That was one time.

Rachel: Liar!

Blaine: Okay Liar, but my boys are all here!

Nick and Jeff: Rachel!!! Damn! You have become even more angelic. So hot!

Trent: Madame Fannie Brice. *Hugs Rachel*

David: Dang girl, where have you hidden those curves? Gone is the school girl look.

Rachel: Blame Kurt. And New York.

Sebastian: Well you were always beautiful.

Hunter: Hello Rachel. I told you that you would see me again.

Rachel: Yes...you did.

Kurt: Ahem *cough * lets party!

Santana: I'm here too, losers!

Brittany: Hi Rachie *hugs*

Puck: Okay time to raid the Berry liquor cabinet for old times sake.

Sam: Where's Miss Fabray, Puck?

Puck: She is back at Yale.

Kurt: Cedes sends her love, Tina too. And Artie is visiting Kitty.

The food arrives, music blaring, and just old friends catching up.

Blaine: Karaoke time!

Sebastian: My turn alone.

Hunter: No duet.

Sebastian: Okay let's do it.

 "Baby I Would"

(Sebastian)
 [Verse 1]
 Would I walk through fire just to be you, be with you baby
 Would I cross an ocean just to hold you, yea

(Hunter)
 Would I give up all I have to see you smile, to see you smile
 Would I walk through hell and not think twice

(both)

[Chorus]
 Baby I would
 Baby I will
 Baby I'll do that gladly

(Hunter)
 Be all you need
 Do anything, to make you happy

(Sebastian)

 Baby I could
 Baby I can
 Do anything you ask me
 Baby I can
 Baby I could
 Baby I would

(Hunter)

[Bridge]
 I'll keep you from the cold
 I'll be there to hold you
 And if tears should find your eyes
 I would be the one to dry them
 I would risk it all to give it all to you
 Baby I?

(Sebastian)

[Verse 2]
 Would I be the harbor always there for you, right there for you baby
 Would I be the shelter that would shield you, yea
 Would I be the lovely light to light your way, to light your way honey
 And would I defend you with my life

(Both)

[Chorus]
 Baby I would
 Baby I will
 Baby I'll do that gladly

(Hunter)
 Baby I can
 Baby I could

(Sebastian)
 Baby I would (cuz you're the one i want in my world)
 I can

(Hunter)
 I could
 Baby I would

Blaine: Haha looks like its Smytheberry vs Claringberry!

Rachel: No competition, don't be silly. I'm flattered though.

Sebastian: What about you Berry?

Rachel: Next time I promise.

Blaine: Well its getting late, and I've got work in the morning.

Nick and Jeff: We've missed you, Rachel.

Jeff: I wanna see you smile *he sings *

Rachel: You both haven't changed.

 Soon everyone dispersed. Sebastian was asleep, and Hunter was leaving with Blaine.

Hunter: So Miss Berry have you thought of me since our special time when I visited you.

Rachel: You mean stalked me? *she teased*

Hunter got closer. "So what will it take for you to give me a chance?"

Rachel: Honestly, I don't know. Still undecided.

Hunter: That's fair. *kisses her hand* take care, Rachel.

Blaine glares at Hunter.

Blaine: I'll see you soon,Maria.

Rachel: You better, Tony.

Soon they leave. Rachel thought everyone was gone, but Sebastian had fallen asleep on her sofa. Rachel smiled, and pt a blanket over him. And soon went to bed herself.

"What a day" Rachel told herself.

"Baby I could, baby i would..." Sebastian sang in his sleep with a smile.
