SEASON 4 EPISODE 5

The Role You Were Born to Play

Audition weeks for Grease had arrived, and both Haley and Sam, couldn't be more excited. They currently lay cuddling on her bed discussing the auditions.

"Are we auditioning together or separately?" Haley asked.

"Together obviously." Sam answered.

"I'm planning on auditioning for Rizzo." Haley commented.

"Is it because I'm wanting to play Kenickie?" Sam asked, using a Kenickie impression, as Haley giggled.

"Well, obviously, but I also love the character, she fit's my vocal range, and all the pros." Haley pointed out as Sam nodded.

"They won't be able to resist our undeniable chemistry." He stated.

"Absolutely." Haley agreed.

"As president, and vice president's, we can pretty much decree whichever parts we want, right?" Sam asked, as he wrote his name on the sign up sheet.

"I'm not sure I'm gonna do the musical this year. I'm not in the right head-space to do a project like Grease. Since Kurt and I broke up, I haven't slept, I lost my appetite. I don't even gel on weekends." Blaine said.

"This is pretty serious then." Sam said, as Haley wrote her name on the list.

"Sam, Kurt was my soulmate. We talked about spending the rest of our lives together. About retiring in Provincetown and buying a lighthouse and starting an artist's colony. And now he won't even return my calls. He won't text me. And that Gilmore Girls box set I sent him was returned to me, unopened. He's gone. Maybe forever."

"Oy, with the poodles." Haley exclaimed, quoting Gilmore Girls. Sam chuckled at her as they turned to look at Blaine. "I'm sorry man, that sucks." Haley said.

"Dude, I get it, except for the lighthouse part. But look, everybody's been there. You'll get through it." Sam said.

Haley gave Blaine a hug, before sending him a sympathetic smile and intertwining her hands with Sam's as they walked down the hallway together.

Blaine sighed as he turned and wrote his name down on the sign up sheet. Maybe Grease would be a good distraction from the breakup.

"Okay,, we need to do that thing where we call people back. What's it called?" Finn asked.

"Callbacks." Mercedes and Mike answered in unison.

"I don't feel like Kitty has the inside track on Sandy. Sandy can't be brunette." Artie said.

"And Kitty is in Haley's face and after her whenever she gets the chance." Finn pointed out.

"Oh, like Maria couldn't be black." Mercedes said, sending Artie a pointed look.

"Okay, so we call back the Sandys and Dannys. What about the rest?" Finn asked.

"Brittany for Cha-Cha." Mike said. "She's obviously the best dancer."

"You know, Tina would make a great Jan. It's too bad she won't audition because she refuses to be in the same room with Mike." Mercedes, rolled her eyes.

"Okay, what about Rizzo?" Artie asked.

"I like Unique for it. He is very suitable for the role." Finn said.

"She's the best singer too." Mercedes pointed out, not shying away from correcting the pronouns.

"So, we cast a brunette as Sandy and a guy as Rizzo. Who's directing this, Julie Taymor?" Artie scoffed.

"Think about how cool it would be to do something really different." Finn suggested.

"Unique is phenomenal, but Haley is also a pretty suitable match for Rizzo." Mercedes pointed out.

"You have to admit, Haley moves more naturally, and her chemistry with Sam is undeniable. A factor, Unique wouldn't have. Nothing against her though." Mike commented, as the others nodded.

"Finn Hudson? In Principal Figgins' office now. Now, fatty!" Coach Sylvester called Finn.

----

Haley had convinced Finn, Mike and Mercedes to cast Unique as Rizzo, after her heartfelt talk with Unique.

Everyone flocked to the cast list like birds, as Haley pointed out.

Unique practically jumped for joy, as she saw her name by Rizzo. She gave Haley a grateful hug. "You would've been phenomenal as well." She pointed out, as Haley shrugged. "Well come the flu? Who knows." She joked as they giggled.

"Patty Simcox?" Kitty asked annoyed. "Patty Simcox? Who the hell is Patty Simcox? I don't understand. I prayed really hard about this."

"Maybe God didn't hear you because he was busy helping people with cancer." Joe suggested, as Sam and Haley nodded.

"Shut it, Avatar." She scoffed, before she turned to face Jake. "This is all your fault. You screwed up Hand-Jive."

"No I didn't. We were both great. It just didn't work out." Jake corrected her.

"I've been hearing that a lot lately from you." She rolled her eyes, as she turned to Marley. "Oh. One little thing, honey boo boo. I know a good, hot meal is hard to resist, especially when you're on the free lunch program but remember, the stage always adds at least ten pounds. In your case, it's close to 90. So, when you and your mom, strawberry hugrayke are dumpster diving for your costume, keep on picking till you find something slimming. Like a back hefty bag." Kitty threatened.

"Woah, Kitty, watch your mouth and your attitude, and just be fucking grateful that they were thoughtful enough to give you a role. Don't project your hate and anger on others." Haley said.

"Don't listen to her Marley." Haley whispered to Marley who nodded.
