Prologue (Date is November 2, 2015)

Will: I asked you if you still needed a Director for your Vegas Show?
Rachel: Really? What about Dalton-McKinley.
Will: Me and Emma talked it over and we realized that this is a one in a lifetime opportunity. The school board understood and said they could find someone else and they knew I wanted to go there.
Jesse; This is awesome.
Will: Plus, I didn't want to tell them that they were loosing half their staff.

Rachel: Uhm, Jesse, did we get a response from René yet?
Jesse: Yes and he said he would be glad to do it.
Rachel: -Looks at Will and sighs- Sorry, we kinda already got René Angelil to do it for us.
Will: I don't mind being part of the show then.
Rachel: Awesome. We are going to be working very close to Celine and her husband because they are going to mentor me and uhm, actually be in the same building as me. So today, we are going out to Las Vegas with the entire group. So, can you meet us at the airport in about 2 hours to get ready to leave? Then we are off to Vegas where we will get picked up by Celine. We have a room at the Coliseum but we have a meeting there first she knows the entire gorup is coming.
Will: Great, let me just get the group ready and then we will see you at the airport.
Rachel: -Smiles as she turns to look at Jesse-
Will: -Walks away to go get ready-

Rachel: -Smiles as she goes to hug Jesse- We are going to have a good time.
Jesse: -Smiles as he hugs his wife and gets ready for a fun time in Vegas.

Sam: -Puts their passports in his carry on-
Quinn: -Comes out in some skinny jeans and a blouse- Wow, you sure look handsome.
Sam: -Smiles as he turns around- Excited?
Quinn: I never imagined myself ever doing this.
Sam: Rachel asked us and of course I knew I had to accept. Quinn, this is a dream come true.

Quinn: You wanted to be on Vegas.
Sam: I love performing so why not?
Quinn: I wonder if we are going to write original songs and act as a group.
Sam: She told us at a meeting we would. She doesn't want it to be the Berry-St. James show. She said it was going to be Dalton-McKinley in Vegas. Unfortunately, the students can't come.
Quinn: I heard Mr. Schuester is coming too along with some students. Well, just Melissa.

Sam: Ya, because her dad is coming with us. Sebastian. She said we might do Glee songs a lot. So the ones we did in Glee.
Quinn: This is going to be a long time in Vegas you know, we are moving there.
Sam: Luckily, we are all living in the same mansion. Helps for meetings and stuff.
Quinn: I wonder how big it is going to be.
Sam: -Smiles as he walks over to his wife, wrapping his arms around her- Don't worry, we will have a private room to ourselves and so will Beth and your mom.
Quinn: Right, my mom is coming.
Sam: She should be here soon.
Quinn: -Hears the door- That must be her. -Smiles as she leaves the room to go get the door-

Judy: Yes, my Vegas Strip Star! -Smiles- You excited?
Quinn: Honoured Rachel asked me.
Sam: It is a Glee group thing. We are doing all covers.
Judy: Sounds fun. But, why are you going now? I mean the show isn't for another year.
Sam: Planning.

Quinn: You are okay helping us with Beth a lot right? I mean mom, this is our big break.
Judy: Of course. Go right ahead. I don't want it to hold you back.
Sam: We are going to sign her up for home schooling when she gets to that age just to tell you in advance.
Quinn: -Smiles-
Sam: Now, Rachel just texted me saying that René and Celine are meeting us at the airport with a big private jet so that they can fly us. Uhm, we are staying near their place to plan with them.
Quinn: Wait, we are working with Céline Dion to prepare the show?
Sam: -Smiles- She said the jet should be there within the hour so we need to get to the airport.

Airport Meeting with Céline Dion Part 1

Meanwhile with Kurt and Blaine at the Airport:
Blaine: -Sitting with Kurt as he drinks some Starbucks-
Kurt: -Gets a text from Rachel asking if they want a ride-
Blaine: Who's that?
Kurt: Rachel. Wants to know if we want a ride.
Blaine: Too late, we are already here.

Kurt: -Smiles and texts her back-
Blaine: So, you nervous about meeting Celine?
Kurt: Yes, I mean she is my idol.

Celine: -Smiles at René-

Blaine: -Looks up at them- How do you know about the show?
Celine: -Moves her glasses away from her eyes- Because I am her.
Kurt: Oh my god. -Gets up and bows- I am truly blessed.

When Céline is at her table:

Jesse: No, just tell me.

Jesse: What? Okay, that is so not fair. We are the heads of the show.
Rachel: I need to make some calls, tell everybody to get there. Luckily we still have the conference call plan. -Opens her phone and calls everybody-

After calling them all:
Mercedes: Hey Rachel, what's up?

Will: See you soon Rachel.
Rachel: Hurry, we can't keep her waiting. -Hangs up and smiles at Jesse as they go to the airport-

Chapter 161a

After finally arriving at the airport:
Rachel: -Walk into their terminal, trying to find Celine when they see her-
Jesse: Over there. -Smiles-
Rachel: -Nervous and gets weak knees-
Jesse: Be strong.
Rachel: -Sighs, going to walk over, smiling at Celine-
Celine: -Gets up-

Rachel: Celine, I am Rachel Berry. The one who contacted you about the managing and mentorship.
Celine: Yes, I remember. I heard your demos. You just had to send some of my songs right?
Rachel: Of course. My heart will go on was a really powerful song that helped me through my loss at the time.
Celine: Oh, I am sorry.
Rachel: I got past it.

Jesse: Hi, I am Rachel's husband, Jesse St. James.
Celine: It's a pleasure to meet you both. I am also happy to hear you actually already have some singers. Finding back up singers is hard when it is your show.
Rachel: Actually, we changed the show so it would be my enire Glee team. We have many members who will join is to create a show with covers. We will definatively have some of yours hopefully.
Celine: I would definatively be glad to offer you some tips when you do them.
Rene: Celine, remember, you have your show as well.
Celine: Of course. You will adore the Coliseum.

Will: Yes, it is a beautiful place to perform. I saw Celine there once. -Walks up with Emma and smiles as he stares at Celine-

Chapter 161b



Celine: Wait, Matthew?
Will: No, William Schuester ma'am. I always get compared to him.
Celine: You are spot on for him. Must be why.
Will: -Smiles-

Celine: So, you are her manager I believe?
Will: Yes, her show manager. I will be working very closely with you and your husband.
Celine: Luckily, you will all be on our beautiful estate. Perfect place for meetings. We have everything set up for you all and we have cars at the ready.
Rachel: You are so nice Celine.
Celine: Maybe we can start meeting right when we are in the plane because it is a long process this year. You do realize it will be a good year before you get on stage right?
Rachel: Yes, we need to take time, rehearse and get everything ready.
Rene: Trust me, you are in good hands. Now, why don't we get started right here? We have a lot to talk about.
Rachel: Of course. -Smiles as she goes to sit next to Rene-

Let the Planning Begin Part 1

After sitting down with Rene Angelil:
Rachel: Thank you again for doing this.
Rene: No problem. Now, before we start, I need you to sign some papers giving me the right to act as your manager and have a say in your show.
Rachel: Of course.
Rene: -Gets some papers out- I already prepared the contract. I have given your show the entire profits and the splitting will be between all the cast members equally now that I have learned you are no longer just a solo.
Rachel: Thank you. -Goes to sign some sheets smiling- Now, I am singing this on behalf of many people do I need to write their names down for them to sign as well?
Rene: We can send it though the plane on the way.
Jesse: Good idea.
Mercedes: -Walks up to them- Oh my god, Celine came too. Wow.
Jesse: -Turns to look up at Mercedes- Celine and Rene, this is another one of or co-stars, Mercedes Jones.
Mercedes: -Goes to shake their hands- I am honoured to meet you.
Rene: THank you. Now, do you mind just singing here as well. We are starting the planning as soon as possible.
Mercedes: Of course. Thanks again Rachel. -Goes to sit next to them, pulling a chair up before singing-
Celne: How many members do you expect to have?
Rachel: 11. But I might talk to others. I know that is not enough.
Rene: Auditions will occur in Las Vegas as soon as we get there. We will want you to have a say.

Let the Planning Begin Part 2

Rene: Now, the expected timeline to start the show will be this summer in July-August.
Jesse: Is there a way to at least back track that by a couple months. You see, we are expecting right around then.
Rachel: At the end of June actually.

Celine: That is good to know this far ahead of time. We had to tell them. Why don't you try and push it back to September or November?
Rachel: That seems much more reliable but January would be perfect.
Rene: I will try my best but we do have to keep your spot. Now, the more people sign this sheet means you will not have all the control. It will work in a consensus. Unless of course, that is what you want.

Mercedes: Actually Rene, the group which will be joining us have talked ahead of time and we have agreed to allow Rachel and Jesse to make the most of the decisions as it is their show which they have offered us positions on.
Rene: Perfect. Much more helpful. That means that we do not need all of them to sign. Now, we are going to have to pick a name as well to start with advertising.
Rachel: I have no ideas yet so can that wait, maybe we can talk with the entire group.
Emma: It is all about the New Directions Rachel.
Rachel: Actually, why not honour the school? Dalton-McKinley in Vegas?

Let the Planning Begin Part 3

After hearing the name suggestion as Kurt walks up:
Kurt: What's this about Dalton-McKinley in Vegas?
Celine: Oh, you are with them as well.
Rachel: I still can't believe you met her before me.
Blaine: Sorry Rachel.
Rene: Rachel, concentrate. This is going to be a hard year for you. You have to make a lot of decisions. I have done 2 shows with Celine and it was hard but now, it is time to get down to business.

Rachel: Okay. Now regarding the act. I was hoping to change singers all the time. That would mean, I would not be on the stage the entire show. We will work as a team. Oh, and there is not to be too many musicians. We want to do this Glee Style.
Celine: Glee style?
Rachel: We want to do this purely with our voices. Only some instruments. We have done work like this before. We can choreograph, choose setlists and much more because we are trained to do it. We have taught for a while.
Celine: That is a good gift. So you basically really want to be involved with the show.
Will: Yes, we do. We want to work as a team. But I will speak on their behalf as the show manager. At least, I hope I get that position.
Jesse: Yes, we want our former Glee director to control the shots. We can do it.
Celine: Let us at least help get you started, it is hard.

Sam: What is hard? -Walks in with Quinn and their daughter smiling-

Let the Planning Begin Part 4

Rene: Oh, are you part of the group too?
Sam: Yes, my name is Sam and this is my wife Quinn. We are part of the act.
Celine: Well, welcome on board.
Quinn: Now, even though we have a daughter, I will be performing and trying to come.
Celine: Do you have someone to watch your daughter because my mother is there.
Quinn: Yes, my mother is coming.

Sam: Where is she anyways?
Judy: Right here Sam. -Walks up behind them- I tried calling you.
Sam: Oh sorry.
Judy: Oh my god, it's Celine Dion.
Celine: -Smiles as she gets up- Good morning.
Judy: -Looks at Celine and smiles, hugging her- Tell me I am not dreaming.
Celine: You aren't dreaming.
Judy: -Smiles-

Sam: Yes, this is fun. I am honoured to be working with such a good performer as you Mrs. Dion.
Celine: Please, Celine. I refuse to hear that everyday. We are performers. You are on the same stage as me now. Be ready to be treated with celebrity status.
Quinn: I am scared but Okay.
Celine: Trust me, it is hard at first. But you will get used to it.
Quinn: What about raising children and being in Vegas? Is it easy?

Let the Planning Begin: Parenting in Vegas

Celine: I have 3 wonderful boys and I parent them in Vegas. It is hard at first but it works. Trust me, as long as you have the help of your mother, you are good. Actually, why don't you stay on our property?
Sam: What?
Celine: We have a guest house. It is hard to make friends when your parents are on the Strip. This way your daughter can be friends with our Twins and our son.
Quinn: -Looks at Sam- That sounds nice but what about my mother?
Celine: My property is big enough to hold all of you. Until you find your own home at least. Please, I insist. Saves money because we have a lot of work to do in Vegas. I have a pool there you can all use and trust me, you will need it.
Sam: I like that idea. Oh, maybe I should get changed right now Quinn instead of staying in this. It is a desert in Vegas and it isn't that cold here right now. At least in the airport.
Celine: Yes, I recommend doing that to you all.
Sam: I will be right back okay Quinn? -Smiles at his wife- Here's Beth. -Gives her to her mom-
Quinn: Okay, be back soon.
Sam: -Smiles-
Celine: -Smiles at them-

Let the Planning Begin: Other Cast Members Arrive

When Sam comes back changed for Vegas:
Sam: -Smiles as he walks up to Quinn- This okay?
Celine: Perfect for the weather in Vegas.
Quinn: -Smiles at her husband-
Sam: -Puts his old clothes in his bag-
Celine: Now, are you prepared to work hard. We want all of your input in this. Now, we have also looked at your performances as a glee club.

Rachel: You have?
Celine: Yes, Dalton too. They are on YouTube. A song we definatively want you both to perform uhm....
Sam: Sam and Quinn.
Celine: Yes, it will take time. I have over 100 names to remember just in Vegas. Okay, well we have see your performances of Lucky and I've Had the Time of my Life, we want you to perform those in Vegas.
Sam: Definatively.

Rene: When we offered you this performance Rachel, we looked at all numbers your club did. We also want you do to America.
Rory: -Walks up- Definatively, we can do that number.
Rachel: -Turns to look at Rory- Wait, you are coming too Rory?
Will: Why aren't you in school? Do your parents know?

Rory: I told my parents I was offered a chance to go to Vegas, they knew I loved performing so they said yes.
Will: I thought it was just the adults.
Renee: No, we offered it to Rachel, she said she could pick the cast.
Rachel: We asked the current members too. Only Rory wanted to.
Will: Okay.
Emma: Good, the more performers the better.
Will: -Smiles at his wife-
Celine: Now, we also need background dancers in the acts. Do you have anybody wo can act as dancers or would you like to audition for that?
Will: Trust me, we can all dance.
Rene: Good but you will need many more.

Rachel: Uhm, I know you might not be happy about this Jesse but I contacted Brody from New York.
Jesse: Really?
Rachel: I knew he would want to so I thought he could. Are you mad?
Jesse: Hey, it's just a show. We can ask anybody. The more the merier. As long as he knows you are married.
Rachel: He does. He is dating someone anyways. My old teacher at NYADA. I don't think she is coming though.
Brody: -Walks up- Thanks again Rachel. And me and Cassandra broke up.
Rachel: -Turns around to look at her ex, Brody-

Let the Planning Begin: Final Cast Members Arrive Part 1

As Rachel looks at her ex:
Rachel: Hi Brody. Uhm, this is my husband, Jesse.
Broady: Hi. I am a friend of Rachel's from NYADA.
Rachel: -Smiles- Excited for the Strip?
Brody: Yes, especially since I get to work with Celine.
Celine: Would you like to say Hello to me?
Brody: -Turns his head and looks at Celine- Oh my. Mrs. Dion, it is an honour. -Shakes her hand-
Celine: Please, Celine works.

Brody: Okay. Well, thanks for the call Rachel. I am glad we didn't loose our friendship.
Rachel: Of course not.
Jesse: -Smiles at Rachel-
Brody: I am sorry again about the show.
Rachel: It's okay. I think a Vegas show is better.

Celine: Than broadway? Definatively. Much more creativity. Now Brody, do you plan on renting because we have a place near our lot where you can rent a semi-detached home.
Sam: There is?
Quinn: -Looks at Sam- I prefer to stay there then.
Sam: Let's look at them.
Celine: Luckily, we own them for when relatives come but we have more than enough.

Sam: -Smiles- So how many people are we expecting now?
Mercedes: Sebastian and his daughter have yet to arrive.
Sebastian: Wrong there Mercedes. -Walks in with Melissa smiling-
Rachel: But we still have Artie, Mike and Tina. Then that is it.
Artie, Tina and Mike: -All arrive when their names are said-
Artie: Waiting for us?
Rachel: -Turns around to see her friends-

Let the Planning Begin: Final Cast Members Arrrive Part 2

As Mike walks over:
Mike: Rachel, thank you so much for the opportunity.
Rachel: -Hugs her friend smiling- I would rather do the show with you than anybody else.
Celine: How many members again Rachel?
Rachel: I am not sure. But I know there are a lot.
Celine: Luckily there is a big stage and an average show is 2 hours long.

Rachel: Yes, now a Vegas show. Does it involve skits?
Celine: Mostly singing and dancing. So that is your show. Trust me, wait until you meet your creative director. Until you guys have a team set up there, I have decided to let you use my team. We want to work with you and be like partners.
Rachel: Of course. I would be honoured.

Mercedes: But the profits are split between us all.
Rachel: Always. But we can negotiate that another time.
Sebastian: -Smiles- Now of course, there will be individual duets and some songs alone.
Celine: You can set it up anyway you want. But that can work on the residence. I will mentor you. But right now, I recommend just relaxing because you are going to have a hard time. When you are in Vegas with me, people will be ready with Cameras.
Rachel: Of course, I am ready. I dealt with it before.
Jesse: Me too. We have broadway experience.

Loud Speakers: Attention Passengers, the VIP Section of Non-Stop Flight 789 to Las Vegas is now boarding.
Celine: That is us. Lets go.
Sam: -Smiles as he wraps his arm around Quinn and then leads her away-
Quinn: -Smiles as she takes his hand-

Everybody: -Decided to sign the contract-
Rene-Angelil: -Takes the contract- Good, now we are all set. I would like to welcome you all to our first meeting.
Quinn: -Smiles when she feels Sam sit beside her-
Sam: -Wraps his arm around her and smiles- You nervous?
Quinn: -Holding Beth on her lap- More like excited.

Celine: Okay, now first I just wanted to say that I am honoured to be your mentor. Now I am just going to lead you but the planning will have to be when I am not busy. I am still on duty right now.
Rene: However, I do have some time during her shows i you don't mind meeting at night.
Rachel: -Looks at Sam and Quinn-
Quinn: We can rotate nights. Even if that, as long as we can get a rom inside the house, maybe we can both be there.

Celine: We can work that out. We have a big home and a lot of guest rooms. Now first, we just wanted to say that you are all going to have to be on call. Please keep in touch with each other. I will call you Jesse, can you then tell all of your friends?
Jesse: We have a conference call plan between us all since we worked at the same school so, we can do it easily.
Rene: Perfect. Now, over the next year, this is what you will have to do. First, you will have to choose which songs you will cover as you are going to do that. If you write your own songs, you will be required to get them finished soon. We will then record a CD to have in case of emergencies.
Rachel: What happens if one of us can't perform.
Celine: That is the blessing of having a Glee club, you can switch people in and nobody will notice the difference.
Will: I can take care of that Rachel as your show manager. Now Celine, I was hoping to get all the tips I can from you and Rene on how to run the show when you aren't available.
Celine: Of course, you will learn from the best. Now, the Vegas show is renewable and subject to the length the producers want it. Right now, we are singing you for 5 years. During that time, we do expect professionalism. We do understand for you uhm...-Points to Quinn and Sam-
Sam: Sam and Quinn.
Celine: Yes, family comes first and we understand.

Judy Fabray: -Joined them- Hi, I am Quinn's mother and I am joining them in Vegas. So they are available since I can babysit.
Celine: Perfect. Are you open to spending more time preparing just for now? Once you are ready, you can go back to a bigger family life. But practice is everything.
Quinn: -Looks at Sam- Definatively, as long as we do get our private time.
Celine: Now for the next few days, you will have a few days to settle into your homes. That way you can just relax, get used to Vegas and be ready. Next week, we are going to have to buckle down and start getting the setlist ready. But, if you have any song ideas, I would put them forward anytime.

Flight to Vegas Part 2

Sebastian: -Sitting with his new girlfriend whom he invited to Vegas-
Mercedes: -Looks at Sebastian, not caring that he has a new girlfriend because she knows her feelings for him weren't real-
Sebastian: I have an idea for a couple songs. I was thinking maybe some more current stuff. Like Taylor Swift or One Direction even.
Melissa: -Smiles at her dad with he says that-

Jennifer Caleb: -Smiles at her new boyfriend when he says that, wrapping her arms around his- Taylor Swift eh?
Sebastian: For you sweetheart. Glad you came to Vegas by the way.
Jennifer: Couldn't miss it.
Sebastian: -Smiles-

Celine: They are good. So this show might be oriented towards Families?
Rene: I can probably talk to Ceaser's Palace and try and get it in the afternoon.
Celine: That would work because then they could act as an opening for me. Get like a 2-for-1 deal.
Rene: Maybe.
Rachel: Our show won't be ready to start for a while so don't worry about that Celine. We can wait until we are really ready. But I say we meet, well just me and my cast mates daily.
Rene: I can probably make it just to get you started.
Celine: I can take care of the twins easily. I am used ot it.
Rene: -Smiles at his wife-

Sebastian: -Smiles as he kisses his girlfriend softly and then lets her get up- Take your shower first, I don't take as long.
Jennifer: -Chuckles as she gets up and then goes to take her shower-
Sebastsian: -Smiles as he watches her leave-

Chapter 169

Meanwhile with Rachel and Jesse:
Rachel: -Smiles as she eats breakfast with her idol- Thanks again for inviting us for Breakfast Celine.
Celine: No problem, I want us to have a friendship-family relationship since we will be working so closely. Now, I believe I have a show today?
Renee: Yes, you do Celine so we need to start heading out soon.
Celine: Listen, why don't you guys come along. Come see my practice and look behind the stage. Can you take them around Renee?
Renee: That sounds like a good idea.

Celine: And then, you can all stay later for the show.
Sam: -Comes in with Quinn- That sounds like fun. Think your mom would let us Quinn?
Celine: Oh, good morning Sam.
Rachel: Hey Sam.
Quinn: -Smiles- I don't care. Celine in concert in Vegas? I am there and I don't care for Free.
Celine: We are partners now. -Smiles-
Quinn: Listen, I am going to talk to my mom quick okay? Tell her what's happening.
Sam: Okay, I will make us some breakfast.

Chapter 170

When Quinn walks back into their townhouse:
Judy: -Smiles as she watches tv when she hears her daughter-
Quinn: Mom?
Judy: -Smiles at Beth-
Quinn: -Walks over smiling- Hey, uhm, I just got invited to go somewhere tonight with Celine.
Judy: Where?
Quinn: -Walks over to her daughter and smiles as she picks her up- I got invited to go watch her Vegas Strip Show Celine.
Judy: Wow, can I go?

Quinn: Uhm, I was hoping you can watch Beth tonight. She wants us to see her production probably to get ideas for our show and just watch how it all works. Plus, sounds like a nice date with Sam.
Judy: Definatively, of course. I didn't even think about Beth.
Quinn: Trust me, this is for work now mom. Okay, maybe a little pleasure but work too.
Judy: -Smiles-

Quinn: We are going to also go on a tour of Ceasar's Palace.
Judy: I am so jealous.
Quinn: I will talk to her about getting you tickets one night.
Judy: You better but of course, have fun. Oh, and you look beautiful today by the way.
Quinn: You should've seen Sam today. -Smiles-
Judy: I am so happy for you Quinn.

Quinn: Thanks mom.
Judy: Wait, you sound a little sad.
Quinn: We agreed no kids while we are here so that might not happen. I am worried.
Judy: Quinn, have a heart-to-heart with him and tell him you want one before you start the show. Celine did it.
Quinn: Your right. Maybe tonight after the show.
Judy: Remember those tickets for me.
Quinn: -Smiles- Oh, by the way, come for breakfast with Beth. She can play with their twins. Then you can talk to Celine.
Judy: I will. Let me just get ready.
Quinn: -Smiles as she decides to grab Beth- Actually, I have her. See you inside. -Picks Beth up- Hi sweetie. -Kisses her head and smiles as she turns around to go back to the main house-

Chapter 171a

When Quinn comes back to the group:
Sam: -Waited for Quinn to start eating as they all sit at the table when he sees her carry Beth in- Hey, why did you bring Beth?
Quinn: I want my mom to spend time with us too. She adores Celine. Speaking of which, do you mind if she plays with your boys?
Rene: Of course not, actually, if your mom ever wants to join, I am sure Celine's mom can watch her right Celine?
Celine: Definatively. Your mom should come tonight if she is a big fan.
Quinn: Maybe another time. I am still just learning to trust people around here. No offence, I mean you are a wonderful woman but our daughter is different.
Celine: -Smiles- Of course.

Rene: Here, just put her down with the boys for now. RJ?
RJ: -Gets up from playing with his brothers- Oui papa? (Yes dad?)
Rene: Peux-tu regarder la fille de Madame et Monsieur Evans pendant qu'ils mangent?
RC: Oui, je peux.
Quinn: Thanks RC. -Goes to se her down next to the twins-
Sam: -Smiles since she is learning to trust others-

Quinn: -Comes back over and then comes to join her husband- Thanks for making me a plate.
Sam: No problem. I made one for your mom too knowing she wants some things.
Quinn: -Smiles at her husband, grabbing his hand-
Celine: Okay, now how about we take this time about what I might want to show you all today?

Will: Uhm, do you think I can work with Rene some today to learn about how to do it?
Rene: Definatively. I can give you a tour of where your show is. It isn't in the same theatre as us but in the same building.
Rachel: Wait, we get our own theatre?
Celine: That is the thing about a Residency. Sometimes you do but sometimes you don't. Since you are a start up, you need the room to practice and build your own stage. You will start in the small theatre when you open your act. Only if you get a big turn out can you go father.
Will: Wow, that sounds amazing.
Celine: If you want, you can also just do sound checks now to see maybe, what notes you can do in order to select your setlist. Plus, I wouldn't mind hearing some songs that you are going to sing. That way we can guide you in maybe having a show the transitions, telling a story if that is what you want. I know that happens sometimes. Yes, you can do Glee style but you can also have a play to go with it as well and that is really what I would recommend. That way they understand why more than 1 person is singing during the concert. Make it a musical.
Mercedes: I have an idea for that if you want to hear it.
Celine: Of course.

Chapter 171b

Mercedes: Why not tell the story of our club? I mean, if you can do Acts with intermissions?
Celine: A lot of people do that.
Rachel: I get what you are thinking Mercedes but I am not following.
Mercedes: Okay, so here is the timeline. Year 1, we start off as a small group of 6, we get someone to play Finn if that is okay with you Rachel.
Rachel: Sure.

Mercedes: We explain what happened in the first year, how we get more and more members until the end of the first year and how the competition went. So, sectionals win and regionals loss.
Will: I am liking this idea. This story is about us. So that is a great idea.
Rachel: I am liking it too.

Mercedes: Then we just go on and pick songs we did each year. Does that work?
Will: That is really good but I can't be in the last act then because I wasn't there.
Celine: But you can still participate with your rival group then. Why not add in competition since that is part of the story?
Will: Now that is interesting. Do you guys like all that?

Celine: How about first we start picking some songs and we can work with the songs to write the story?
Rene: -About to speak when he hears a knock on the door-
Celine: Who is that?
Will: Oh, Marley and Ryder aren't here.
Rachel: They are part of the creative team?
Will: They can fill in what happened while you are in New York Rachel. Does that make sense?
Jesse: I like the idea.
Celine: I got the door. -Goes to open the door for them-

Chapter 172a

When Celine opens the door:
Celine: Hello?
Marley: -Stutters- Hello. We are here with Mr. Schuester?
Ryder: William Schuester.
Will: -Walks up behind Celine- Marley, Ryder. Glad you could make it.
Celine: Okay, good or else I would've had to call security.
Will: Guys, you are just in time, we are just starting our meeting.
Marley: Good. Uhm, can we come in?
Ryder: -Smiles at her and kisses her head- Relax and breathe.
Celine: It's okay to be nervous, you are a fan?

Ryder: Yes, when she heard she was meeting you, she asked me to play you all the way here on our iPod.
Marley: -Blushes-
Celine: Come in, you must want to see your friends. -Opens the door more and smiles-
Marley: Thank you. -Walks in smiling- You have a beautiful home Mrs. Dion.
Celine: Please, Celine here. You are part of the tea now.
Ryder: -Smiles as they walk in and stare in awe- Wow.
Rene: Hi, you must be some other members. I am Rene, Celine's husband.
Ryder: Pleasure to meet you sir. -Shakes his hand and smiles at Rachel- Thanks again for inviting us Rachel.
Rachel: I thought you said you couldn't come.
Marley: I convinced my parents it was a one in a lifetime opportunity and we couldn't pass it up. Oh, and Unique should be coming later. Oh, and Rory as well.

Chapter 172b

Celine: This just keeps getting better and better. The more people you have Rachel, the less amount of people you need to cast in parts.
Rachel: Actually, I am going to have to leave the casting to our wonderful director. Especially since we have to cast someone for...
Jesse: -Grabs her hand and then rubs it as he sits beside her at the table- It's okay, we undersstand who you are talking about Rachel.
Rachel: I am going to have a lot of scenes with him just to let you know because uhm, he is there for a majority of the years.
Jesse: Of course. Then Brody and finally me.

Celine: -Smiles- Such a wonderful couple. Now, are you going to add onto the show each time a new block starts to update it to your current life?
Will: How long do you think people would stay though?
Celine: Make them laugh and they will stay very long. That is what I do in my shows. I make them laugh in betwen songs.
Rachel: So, we should have acting as well.
Celine: There are numerous plays on the strip so that works.

Marley: So that means many theatrical arts. Maybe even illusions? Like for when we perform A Thousand Years?
Ryder: I like that idea.
Celine: Wow, you sure are really in the know about what can happen in shows. Well the best part of doing this in Vegas is that you can have things set up for good, allowing you do have many illusions. Vegas is the place where you can have anything you want on stage. Now, how about you eat up and then we can go to the stage soon to show you where you will perform.
Renee: I have a tour set up.
Celine: -Smiles at her husband-

Rachel: Wait, what song do you recommend singing?
Jesse: Why not I Lived by One Republic. We did that all recently.
Sam: Good with me.
Rachel: -Smiles at her friend as they eat breakfast together so they can go show off their stuff for Celine and Renee-

Chapter 173

After breakfast when Sam comes in with Beth's stroller:
Sam: -Smiles as he carries it-
Quinn: Are we really bringing Beth?
Sam: Why not? It is just a tour and I invited your mom to come.
Judy: I hope that is okay with you Quinn. You aren't working too much right now.
Quinn: Of course but we really better get going then.
Judy: -Smiles as she grabs her purse and then gets ready to go-

Celine: -Comes back downstairs with her boys smiling- RC?
Rene-Charles (RC): Oui maman? (Yes mom?)
Celine: Peux-tu m'aider avec tes frères? Met les dans le camion à papa? (Can you help me with your brothers? Put them in your father's car?)

Eddie: We can do it ourselves maman. We are old enough?
Celine: Just go with them RC. Someone at least needs to sit with them in the car.
RC: Of course. C'mon boys.
Nelson: -Runs with his brother-
RC: Not too fast.

Sam: Can't wait for that to happen. Wait til' we have another baby Quinn.
Quinn: I am liking the idea more and more each day but not right now, we are too busy.
Sam: I understand. But c'mon. We need to get in the limo.
Quinn: I haven't ridden in one since the wedding.
Sam: -Smiles as he remembers their wedding, going to get in as they prepare to visit Caesers' Palace-

Chapter 174

After arriving at Caesers' Palace:
Celine: -Leads them into their Stage- This is your new home.
Rachel: -Holdng Jesse's hand as she follows Celine in- Wow.
Celine: -Smiles as she leads them down- There are speakers all around the room and you can have this entire stage decorated the way you want. Heck, I have watched a Shania show here before. She rode a motorcycle into the crowd.

Sam: -Chuckles- I saw those highlights.
Celine: There are stairs so you can interact with the audience like you did at your Regionals in 2010. Uhm, I think you sang the song I watched Sam and Quinn. -Turns around to look at them-
Sam: Was it, I've Had the TIme of My Life?
Celine: Yes. -Walks onto the stage smiling- Now, normally these are open during my show but this would be your platform. I would design from here.

Will: -Smiles- Where is the Director's box?
Rene: -Points to the top- Up there. That is the best seat in the house.
Will: -Looks up and smiles-
Celine: Now normally, the act has a whole area where they can give tickets away. Normally, first few rows. That allows you to invite people you want to come watch.
Rene: We do it all the time.

Rachel: -Smiles- Can I come up there and look Celine?
Celine: Of course. -Smiles at her-
Rachel: -Decides to go up and take the stage-

(Trying to) Don't Stop Believin'

As Rachel goes to get on stage:
Rachel: -Stands at the front and looks around-
Jesse: -Smiles at his wife-
Rachel: -Looks up and feels blessed- Wow, this is a blessing.
Celine; Nervous already I see?
Rene: Trust me, by the time you are ready to really start, you will be fine.

Jesse: -Walks up to come see her and then smiles- Want to try singing?
Rachel: I don't know if I can.
Jesse: -Turns to look at her friends- What songs do you guys know by heart?
Sam: Don't Stop Believin'.
Jesse: Perfect way to get you excited. C'mon. Get up on stage with us guys and we can start.

Everybody: -Smiles as they go to get on stage-
Quinn: Mom?
Judy: Go ahead.
Quinn: -Smiles as she goes up to start singing with her friends-
Jesse: You ready Rachel?

Their friends: Da, da, da, da, da, da.
Jesse: -Looks at his wife and gets ready to sing- Just a small town girl, livin' a lonely world. She took the midnight train going anywhere.
Rachel: -Looks at Jesse and tries to sign- Just a city boy. He took the mid..-Tears up and then runs off-
Jesse: Rachel!
Rachel: -Cries because it brings back memories-
Jesse: Sorry guys. -Goes to find his wife, running fast-

Chapter 176



After finding Rachel:
Rachel: -Sitting on a bench outside of the auditorium-
Jesse: -Walks over and then looks at her, moving to sit next to his wife- Hey, you okay? -Wraps his arm around her- You ran out pretty fast.
Rachel: -Lays her head down- Sorry, it's just that song.

Jesse: Hey, I get it. It brings back bad memories. I shouldn't have let them sing it. -Grabs her neck and then leans down to kiss her- You okay?
Rachel: Yes. But Jesse, can you tell me something?
Jesse: What?
Rachel: You would tell me if this was a mistake right?
Jesse: Never. I am not going to stop you from living your dream. You need to decide that on yourself. If you feel like you can do it then get on that stage and be the new Celine Dion of Vegas. But if you can't, tell your friends you are going to have to delay your debut. They are excited too now Rachel. Rachel, the best part about this thing that we negotiated is that we have control. We can choose who sings. That means you don't have to be there opening night. Join later.
Rachel: -Smiles as she rubs his arm and lays her head down-
Jesse: Want to stay here or go back in? We can just sit and watch the others for now.
Rachel: Okay.
Jesse: -Smiles as he grabs her hand and then gets up-
Rachel: -Grabs his hand and smiles at her very supportive husband, going back into the theatre-

When Rachel comes back into the theatre:
Quinn: -Decided to try a song with Sam instead-
Sam: -Singing (I've Had) The Time of My Life with Quinn-
Quinn: Now with Passion in our eyes, there's no way we could discuse secretly.
Sam: -Smiles as he takes her hand when he sees Rachel-
Quinn: -Turns to see what he is looking at- Oh, Rachel.
Sam: We are going to have to do that song.
Quinn: Of course.

Rachel: Hey guys, sorry I ran out.
Celine: Are you okay dear?
Rachel: Yes, just bad memories.
Will: That song brings back memories for her. Her ex-Fiancée died. He originally sang that song with her.
Celine: Oh my, I'm so sorry dear.
Rachel: It's okay Celine. I am better now thanks to my husband.

Jesse: -Smiles as he wraps his arms around her-
Celine: Do you want to just end for today or go on?
Rachel: I would rather go on so I can be here. It'll get harder when I am farther into my pregnancy.
Celine: Definately. Try doing it with twins.
Rachel: Harder I bet.
Celine: -Smiles-

Meanwhile in the front row:
Ryder: -Smiles at Marley as he rubs her hand- Nervous.
Marley: No. My mom is though. I mean, we are in Las Vegas. Alone. She said, don't get married without calling me first.
Ryder: I would never elope. I want special.
Marley: -Smiles- We are young though so it is okay.
Ryder: -Smiles as he feels her head on his shoulder, turning his to kiss her softly-
Marley: -Grabs his neck and kisses him slowly-
Ryder: -Smiles and kisses her head- So, what song do you recommend singing?
Marley: We are definatively doing A Thousand Years.

Jake: -Walks in behind them- But that is our song Marley. -Looks at them-
Ryder: -Turns to look at Jake- Oh great.

Chapter 177b

Jake: You have a problem with me coming to join you in Vegas?
Will: -Comes up to see Jake smiling- Jake, glad you could come.
Jake: Vegas, sounds great. I mean, great opportunity.
Will: -Looks at Ryder- You guys don't mind right? He asked.
Jake: Ktty is here too. Just in the washroom.

Marley: Oh yes, your new girlfriend after you cheated.
Jake: Actually, she is my girlfriend for your infortmation.
Will: Okay stop! Just like at school, we are a team here. Now come, I want you to meet somebody Jake. -Leads him away-
Ryder: -Gets mad- Right when I thought we lost him for good.
Marley: -Sighs as she lays her head down-

Meanwhile at the stage:
Rory: -Comes in late- Am I late?
Rachel: -Turns around to see Rory- You must've woken up late. Not sure how though?
Rory: My alarm didn't go off. Wait, did you all get a ride from Celine's here?
Rachel: Ya, how did you get here?

Rory: Cab. And then police after calling Mr. Schuester.
Jesse: They thought you were tresspassing?
Celine: Who thought you were tresspassing? -Walks up behind Rory and smiles-
Rory: Oh, hello Mrs. Dion. Truly, an honour.
Celine: Please, Celine! Everybody, repeat after me. Celine!

Everybody: Celine.
Celine: -Smiles- Okay but who?
Rory: The police. They found me coming off the estate.
Celine: -Sighs- I will have to give them a list of people who can be on my estate.
Rene: -Walks up behind his wife- I am going to get that worked out soon. Right now, we really need to start working more. We were really just coming for a tour this morning.
Rachel: Oh, okay?

Celine: Want to go back to the estate then and get back to work?
Will: Okay, that sounds right. Everybody, we are going back to work at the house. Work on the setlist and the arrangements.
Everybody: -Rounds up behind Will-

Rachel: -Sitting with Jesse as they relax, waiting for Celine to get into something more comfortable-
Celine: Okay, now I am back. -Comes back down-
Rachel: Wow Celine, talk about comfortable.
Celine: Yes. Now, can I get on the couch? I am in the center.

Rachel: -Sits up smiling-
Celine: Good. -Moves to go sit down-
Will: -Comes in with Emma, wrapping his arms around her- You sure you don't want to sit?
Emma: I am fine Will.

Celine: Now, I hope you had a good lunch.
Emma: Delicious Celine.
Celine: Thank you.
Blaine: -Smiles as he wraps his arm around Kurt, nervous since they are so close to Celine-

Celine: So that was just a preview of what is to come. Now, what I want to give you is on the table. Everybody grab a book.
Sam: -Comfused and grabs a book-
Celine: In there are your tickets for tonight if you choose to come and the song I want you go come join me on.
Rachel: Pardon me?

Celine: I want you to come join me for the concert.
Mercedes: Wow, thank you Celine.
Celine: You performed some of my songs beautifully such as River Deep, Mountain High. Now, you guys can also sing back up on any other song you know by heart or just the parts you know. I want to get you ready for the stage. But just a few of you tonight okay? Tonight, I want to invite you Mercedes, Rachel, Quinn, Marley and Kitty right?
Everybody: Yes.
Celine: We will rotate between the girls and boys. We will do slowly. You will be in the back but if you feel like you are ready to come up, just move up a bit and then I will come back to get you and you can come up with me. Sing some solos with me. I want to mentor you this way.
Mercedes: Oh my gosh.
Quinn: Uhm, maybe not tonight Celine.
Celine: Okay, just the girls then? Does that work.
Rachel: Definatively. -Smiles as she prepared for her Vegas Debut-

Chapter 179

After finishing with the group meeting:
Celine: Okay, so that is decided. Boys start doing some dancing with their partners/wives and they act as my back up singers.
Sam: -Smiles at Quinn- Works for me.
Celine: Okay. Now, ladies, how about we go back to the stage and we can practice some songs. We need to get you suited for the mics and everything as well.
Rachel: -Smiles- This is exciting.
Jesse: -Smiles at his wife and gets up-  I am nervous to dance though.
Celine: That is why we are going to practice right now.

Rachel: Wait, we are practicing as well?
Celine: I know we were just there but I wanted to come here to do the meeting since it is easier. Now, I say only the ones I really need come with me and Renee. Can you guys join us later?
Will: Of course Celine.
Celine: Okay, I will see you later Renee?

Celine - November 3, 2015

Later that night when everybody is in place to start the concert:
Celine: -Walks onto the stage smiling at her background singers on the side of the stage-
Rachel: -Smiles at Celine-
Celine: -Walks to centre stage and then looks at her crowd- Good evening everybody and welcome to Celine!
Audience: -Claps-
Celine: Tonight is a special night for many young ladies and gentleman whoma re going to help me out as I continue my residency and assist them create their own. The group that I am talking about is a group from Lima, Ohio. I have asked them to join me tonight to get practice on stage. Their name is the New Directions. Please welcome them now!

New Directions: -Come onto the stage, ready to act as her singers-
Celine: Tonight is their debut on the stage so please, bare with them. But just know I believe in them very much and they are in good hands. Tonight, you will truly come to appreciate these wonderful voices and maybe even go see them when their own show opens next year. But for now, I am honoured to let them stay on as background for as long as they wish to get ready for their debut. Now, how about we start this beautiful night with Open Arms? -Looks at her band and background singers smiling-


Open Arms

As Celine begins open arms:
Lying beside you, here in the dark
Feeling your heart beat with mine

Celine then turns to look at Rachel and walks towards her whispering: With me.
Softly you whisper, you're so sincere
How could our love be so blind
We sailed on together
We drifted apart
And here you are by my side

Celine: -Turns around and looks at her entire cast, motioning them to sing with her-
Celine/New Directions:
So now I come to you, with open arms
Nothing to hide, believe what I say
So here I am with open arms
Hoping you'll see what your love means to me
Open arms

Celine: -Whispers- Just you Rachel.

Rachel: -Smiles-
Living without you, living alone
This empty house seems so cold

Celine/Rachel:
Wanting to hold you, wanting you near
How much I wanted you home

Celine:
But now that you've come back
Turned night into day
I need you to stay.


Celine: -Turns back to look at Mercedes and tells her to come-
So now I come to you, with open arms
Nothing to hide, believe what I say
So here I am with open arms
Hoping you'll see what your love means to me
Open arms

River Deep, Mountain High

After their first song:
Celine: -Smiles at her crowd- Ladies and gentleman, wasn't that just beautiful? Now that is what we need here. This evening is all about grace and me wanted to reach into your hearts and make you feel the lyrics. But did you realize anything? Through out that song, there was no musicians during a part. These lovely ladies and gentleman created the music with their own vocals. Give it up for my singers.

New Directions: -Smile-

Celine: Now, I feel like changing some things up. Maybe we can wake these ladies and gentleman up by asking them to join me as co-lead singers in River Depp, Mountain High? -Turns around to look at them and asks them to come forward- C'mon!
New Directions: -Come forward-
Celine: Now of course, we need to dance to this wonderful song. Can you act as dancers gentlemen?
Men: -Smiles-

Celine: Hit it band! -Turns to look at her singers and whispers- Join in when you think it is right and I will stop. -Smiles and turns around to sing-

Mercedes:

Mercedes:
When I hear you breathe
I get wings to fly
I feel that I'm alive

Rachel:
When you look at me
I can touch the sky

Mercedes and Rachel:
I know that I'm alive

Mercedes: -Smiles at Rachel-

Celine:
When you bless the day
I just drift away
All my worries die
I'm glad that I'm alive

Jesse: You've set my heart on fire -Look at Rachel as he walks up to her- Filled me with love
Rachel: Made me a woman on clouds above

Jesse:
I couldn't get much higher
My spirit takes flight
'Cause I am alive

Mercedes:
When you call on me
(When you call on me)
When I hear you breathe
(When I hear you breathe)
I get wings to fly
I feel that I'm alive

That I'll be the one
Standing by through good and through trying times

Quinn
And it's only begun
I can't wait for the rest of my life

All:
When you call on me
(Celine: When you call on me)
When you reach for me
(Celine: When you reach for me)
I get wings to fly
I feel that...

When you bless the day
(Celine: When you bless, you bless the day)
I just drift away
(Celine: I just drift away)
All my worries die
I know that I'm alive

I get wings to fly
God knows that I'm alive

That's The Way It Is

Love Me Back to Life

After performing That's the Way it Is:
Celine: Wow, now that was a good flashback to some of the most memorable songs that started my career now, how about something more recent? Come in when you recognize the song guys.

Celine:
I was walking dead
Stuck inside my head
I couldn't get out
Turn the lights down
The voices inside so loud

Mercedes:
Need a jump-start, catatonia
I couldn't feel,
I wish that I could disappear
The voices inside so real

Rachel/Jesse:
But you stood by my side
Night after night, night after night.
You loved me back to life, life
From the coma.

Rachel:
The wait is over.

All:
You loved me back to life, life
From the coma.
We lovers again tonight.
Back to life, back to life, back to life, back to life, yeah, yeah.

Kurt:
You woke me up, one touch and I felt alive
You loved me back to life,

Blaine:
Back to life, thought I died.
The voices inside so quiet.

Kurt:
But you stood by my side
Night after night, night after night.

All:
You loved me back to life

Blaine:
Life

Kurt:
From the coma.
The wait is over.

All:
You loved me back to life, life
From the coma.

Blaine and Kurt:

Strong hand, thick skin and an open heart

Marley:
You saw through the pain, saw through the mask

You never gave up on me, yeah

From the coma.
The wait is over.
You loved me back to life, life
From the coma.
We lovers again tonight

Back to life, back to life, back to life, back to life
Back to life, back to life, back to life, back to life
Yeah, yeah...

It's All Coming Back to Me Now

After finishing Love Me Back to Life:
Celine: I swear, everytime I sing that song, it always brings back my passion.
Sam: I definatively hear the passion when you sing Celine.
Celine: Yes, this is my life. It feels like, whenever I sign it, it brings me back to life and it brings back all the memories of when I first starting my career. And those memories are coming back to me now.
Quinn: Why don't you tell us about your memories and how you felt? How the times felt?
Celine: I think I might just do that right now. With a song. -Smiles as she steps forward to sing It's All Coming back to me now- (Note that the singers step forward beside Celine to sing)

Celine:
There were nights when the wind was so cold
That my body froze in bed
If I just listened to it
Right outside the window

Rachel:
There were days when the sun was so cruel
That all the tears turned to dust
And I just knew my eyes were
Drying up forever

Mercedes:
I finished crying in the instant that you left
And I can't remember where or when or how
And I banished every memory you and I had ever made

Quinn: (As Sam walks behind her and rubs her arms to wrap his around her)
But when you touch me like this
And you hold me like that

Quinn and Sam:
I just have to admit
That it's all coming back to me

Sam:
When I touch you like this (Rubbing her cheek)
And I hold you like that (Holds her again, grabbing her neck and kissing her head)

Quinn:
It's so hard to believe but
It's all coming back to me (Sam then lets her go)

Everybody:
(It's all coming back, it's all coming back to me now)
There were moments of gold
And there were flashes of light

Celine:
There were things I'd never do again
But then they'd always seemed right

Tina:
There were nights of endless pleasure
It was more than any laws allow

All:
Baby Baby

Celine:
If I kiss you like this
And if you whisper like that
It was lost long ago

All:
But it's all coming back to me

Rory:
If you want me like this
And if you need me like that
It was dead long ago

All:
But it's all coming back to me

Celine:
It's so hard to resist

All:
And it's all coming back to me

Rory:
I can barely recall
But it's all coming back to me now

Celine:
But you were history with the slamming of the door
And I made myself so strong again somehow

Mercedes:
And I never wasted any of my time on you since then

All:
But if I touch you like this
And if you kiss me like that
It was so long ago
But it's all coming back to me

Celine:
If you touch me like this
And if I kiss you like that
It was gone with the wind
But it's all coming back to me

All:
(It's all coming back, it's all coming back to me now)

Rachel/Celine:
There were moments of gold
And there were flashes of light

Rachel:
There were things we'd never do again
But then they'd always seemed right

Celine:
There were nights of endless pleasure
It was more than all your laws allow
Baby, Baby, Baby
When you touch me like this
And when you hold me like that

Rachel:
It was gone with the wind
But it's all coming back to me

Quinn:
When you see me like this
And when I see you like that

Tina:
Then we see what we want to see
All coming back to me

Mercedes:
The flesh and the fantasies
All coming back to me

Celine:
I can barely recall
But it's all coming back to me now

All:
If you forgive me all this
If I forgive you all that
We forgive and forget
And it's all coming back to me now

Celine/Group:
(It's all coming back to me now)
And when you kiss me like this
(It's all coming back to me now)
And when I touch you like that
(It's all coming back to me now)
If you do it like this
(It's all coming back to me now)
And if we, , ,
