Once there was a regular girl named Emily who dreamed of being more than she was. She loved to sing, and she dreamed that one day her name would be in lights. One Christmas she was sitting by the fire with her friend, Liz who was spending the night. They were watching their favorite show Glee. Emily sung Fireworks along with Lea Michelle who dominated the screen. "I want to be like her", she said. Liz looked at her friend, and replied, "Your way better than her." Emily considered it, but wasn't convinced. That night when they went to sleep, Emily dreamed of stars. When she woke the next morning, she was on the set of Glee in Rachel's bed. She saw Rachel's two dads bust in the room. "Good morning Rachel!", they said. Huh, I'm Emily! She thought. Then she closed her eyes, only to open them back to the two people she saw in her room. I'm dreaming! They hurried her to the school bus after singing songs on the piano to her during breakfast. School was not the same. She figured she was still dreaming, when Finn came up to her and planted a kiss on her lips. Whoa! "Finn?" Emily asked. "Is this real?" He looked at her confused. Then Emily knew this wasn't a dream. She'd wished it on a shooting star before bedtime last night, after Liz zonked. I'm RACHEL BARRY! "Rachel, are you OK? Should I take you to the nurse?" Finn was still talking to her. "I'm OK just didn't sleep to well." I hope he kisses me, again. As they went into the quire room Tina came up and told her Mike said the three-letter word to her; the one all girls dream of their boyfriends telling them. When Will came in everyone sat down. Emily looked at herself in the mirror. She saw Rachel's brown bangs and straight, perfectly long hair. That was proof that she was Rachel. She touched her hair, until Finn nudged her in the ribs. Will had called on her to sing in front of the group. She rushed up in the center of the choir room, and started with a simple tune, ending with a long drawn out note. "Thank you, Rachel!" Will said ushering her back next to Finn. Finn said, "That was amazing!" Emily smiled. This was too cool! Then he kissed her, and Emily felt like she'd melt into a puddle. Quinn cleared her throat rather loudly, "I can't hear Mr. Schuster with all that lip-smacking going on!" Santana giggled, while Britney just stared into space, then said, "You can borrow my lip gloss." After Glee Club, Puck was eye balling her in her reindeer sweater, and rather long dress. "Rachel, Please tell Finn to show up to practice and stop drooling like a love-sick puppy." Then he also said, " And wear something sexy for a change." Emily stuck her tongue out at Puck, and brushed him aside. She was walking to Algebra when a jock came up and thew a red slushie in her face with such force that she swallowed some of it. Red streamed down her arms and hair. Emily yelled at the jock, " That wasn't nice!" He just laughed on. So she just muttered, "Jerk!" Why am I such a pushover! After School Finn walked her home, and they held hands."Finn, I'm not Rachel, my name is Emily and I made a wish, but I didn't know I'd wake up as her. How do I switch back to my old life?" Emily said. Finn had an odd look on his face. He was silent. Then laughed like it was a joke. "Finn," Emily tried again, " I am not Rachel, I'm serious. This is a TV show in my world." Finn looked around for a hidden camera, found none, and just stared. Emily walked away, knowing he wouldn't believe the truth. He called out, "Rachel!" But Emily left. She missed her old life. She wanted to cry! Why did I make this wish!? Kurt bumped into her and she dropped her books. "Sorry" she said. "Why are you sorry? Have you been crying? Oh no, is it Barbara Streisand? Did she die a horrible death?" Kurt blurted out in one sentence! "No, it's just Finn doesn't believe me that I'm not Rachel, I'm Emily." "Is this about Charlotte's Webb in English class?!" Kurt asked. "No!" Emily yelled! Kurt was quiet. "Your not the Rachel I know, today." He replied. "FINALLY, someone realizes!" Emily shouted. "Kurt, listen, I woke up as Rachel, but I'm not her. I'm serious!" Kurt nodded. He pulled her aside, and then started asking excitedly about what she was going to sing for Valentine's Day. She couldn't get through to anyone. She ran back to the school, where she found her way to the empty choir room. She started crying! "I want my OLD life, back!" she repeated. " I want to be myself!" As she continued to cry, Will saw her, and suggested she see his fiance' Emma, who was the guidance counselor. On the way he muttered, "You've changed, you sing different." As she entered Emma's office she told the whole story; all about the real her. Emma was quiet.
