Before a week was over, permission forms had been signed by the parents of every New Directions parent and the set list was planned. They were going to do two songs each night, meaning they had fourteen songs all together.

"Okay, so in Monday we'll do 'You Can't Stop The Beat' and 'Light Up The Night'. On Tuesday it'll be 'Loser Like Me' and 'You Can't Always Get What You Want'. Wednesday has 'Proud Mary' and 'Give Up The Funk'. Thursday, we'll do ' Don't Stop Believin' and 'Empire State Of Mind'. Friday will be our big day with 'Shout' and 'Time Warp'. On Saturday, we'll have 'Tik Tok' and our mash-up of 'I Love New York/ New York New York' Then we'll wrap it up on Sunday with 'We Got The Beat' and 'Stayin' Alive'. And there's our set list. IS everyone happy with that?" Mr Schue read it out to them and everyone agreed it was a good mix that showcased all of their talents.

"Mr Schue? May I suggest something?" Rachel's hand shot up.

"Yes."

"Well, I think the shows might be a bit short if there's only two songs. What if we did two solos each as well?" Mr Schue considered that for a moment and then discussed it with everyone. In the end it was decided that as well as the two group songs, each show would have two other performances, either solos or duets. The New Directions began to chatter amongst themselves about what songs they wanted to sing and if they wanted to do a solo or a duet.

"Okay, if that's all for the set list, I say we move on to costumes. Do we want to reuse ones we've already done?" Mr Schue quieted them after a while.

"Well, I think the ones from our first year would work, and the ones from New York too. Maybe a few alterations on last year's regionals. And I think last year's sectionals were popular." Tina said and the others nodded.

"So we just need two more sets. I'll leave that up to you to work out Tina and we can do a few sessions working on them." Mr Schue told them. With that, the meeting ended and they all went their separate ways, different thoughts running through their heads.

Tina was busy coming up with various ideas for two more dresses she could design.

Rachel was deciding on her solo and was hoping she could snag a duet with Finn as well.

The Cheerios were trying to figure out how to tell Sue that they were going to be away for a week.

Puck was, of course, imagining all the girls that would be aboard the ship.

Kurt was worrying about which of his clothes he wanted to take on board, knowing the salty air might affect them.

Back on the SS Tipton, Cody and Bailey were lounging on a deck chair on the Skydeck, talking about the visitors they were too meet soon.

"I can't believe Mr Tipton organised this for us." Bailey gushed and Cody laughed.

"Anyone would think you love thm more than me." Cody teased her.

"Never. I could never love anyone more than I love you, Codykins."

"I know, I was teasing. But it is exciting. I'm glad Moseby has calmed down."

"Yeah, it could have been a very awkward trip for them if he hadn't."

"That's an understatement."

"What's an understatement?" Zack asked them as he walked past, carrying a tray of smoothies.

"Oh, we were talking about how it's a good thin Moseby has calmed down about that Show Choir coming aboard otherwise it would be very awkward for them."

"Oh yeah. I can just picture them trying to perform while Moseby is yelling at them to keep the noise down on the Skydeck because he's trying to read a book on pocket-hanky tying." The three of them began to laugh at the mental image Zack created.

"I guess you're looking forward to having a bunch of girls on deck that you've never met before." Bailey asked Zack who shrugged.

"Nah. I mean, that brunette who did the duet at the start was hot but clearly she's taken." He said and they laughed again.

"Whatever you say, Zack." Cody told him. Zack stuck his tongue out and went back to the smoothie bar.

"I seriously wonder how you and your brother are so different." Bailey commented.

"Didn't I tell you? Zack was dropped on his head when he was a baby. It knocked a few screws loose." Cody told her with a mock-serious face.

"Sure he did. Anyway, I wonder what they're going to perform."

"Could be anything. I mean, they are a show choir so they'd have a wide range of vocal differences."

"That's true. Maybe we could request some songs." Cody shook his head.

"No, they probably already have their set list sorted. From what I've seen, they work out set lists weeks before performances so they have time to choreograph dances to them."

"That's bad luck. Oh well, we still get to see them live." They settled back in the chair and continued a quiet chatter about their plans for their anniversary next week.
