I put on my microphone. I got my guitar ready. I could hear the crowds outside chanting, "RACHEL! RACHEL! RACHEL!". That kinda makes me nervous. But at the same time, it's like music to me. I took a deep breath and stood there on the elevator waiting for my cue.
The elevator started rising. I can hear the crowds still so hyped.
The drums started playing, the drummer, Ben, hit the notes perfectly, hitting and beating the drum. The guitars started playing. Their long drifts and solos. The keys started playing. So carefully. That's where I came in.
"Hello everyone!"
The crowds started screaming again. If possible, more louder than before.
"My name is Rachel Barbra Berry-Fabray","tonight's the last stop of this tour". "So, it's just me, singing with you guys here with me. No backup dancers, no backup vocals. There might be surprises though. Just you and me and having a little fun","Is that alright with y'all?"
The crowds screamed.
"Alright", "This song, well, is called Teenage Dream", the crowd went wild. "I wrote this when I fell in love with this beautiful person. And that person is somewhere in the crowd", Rachel pointed to Quinn who was sitting next to Brittany. "I love you Quinn, this is for you"
The intro started playing. Rachel strummed her guitar.
You think I'm pretty
Without any make-up on
You think I'm funny
When I tell the punch line wrong
I know you get me
So I'll let my walls come down, down
Before you met me
I was a wreck
But things were kinda heavy
You brought me to life
Now every February
You'll be my valentine, valentine
Let's go all the way tonight
No regrets, just love
We can dance until we die
You and I
We'll be young forever
You make me
Feel like
I'm living a Teenage Dream
The way you turn me on
I can't sleep
Let's runaway
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
My heart stops
When you look at me
Just one touch
Now baby I believe
This is real
So take a chance
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
We drove to Cali
And got drunk on the beach
Got a motel and
Built a fort out of sheets
I finally found you
My missing puzzle piece
I'm complete
Let's go all the way tonight
No regrets, just love
We can dance until we die
You and I
We'll be young forever
You make me
Feel like
I'm living a Teenage Dream
The way you turn me on
I can't sleep
Let's runaway
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
My heart stops
When you look at me
Just one touch
Now baby I believe
This is real
So take a chance
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
I might get your heart racing
In my skin-tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight
Let you put your hands on me
In my skin-tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight
"So, she's my teenage dream. I know I'm not a teen anymore", she said while the music was playing in the background. "But hey, she'll always be my teenage dream. Forever, if she'll let me. I love you Quinn, and I, just the thought of just not having you by my side is damn freaky, and scary", "Once again, I love my family!", Rachel said, putting her hands up high
You make me
Feel like
I'm living a Teenage Dream
The way you turn me on
I can't sleep
Let's runaway
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
My heart stops
When you look at me
Just one touch
Now baby I believe
This is real
So take a chance
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
Rachel took a step back and got a bottle of water as the band played the intro for the next song.
"Alright, this song, I might need some help", she said, while she arched her eyebrow. "I want to welcome, MAROOOOOOOOONNNNNNN 5! Everybody!". "Now, these sexy boys", she said as she wiggled her eyebrows, "Have been helping me with this album. So, I wanted to do their song"
The song started playing.
Adam Levine took a step forward with his guitar and started singing,
Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else
I drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door
I've had you so many times but somehow
I want more
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved
Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get so insecure
It doesn't matter anymore
It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along, yeah
My heart is full and my door's always open
You can come anytime you want
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
I know where you hide
Alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls
Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
[in the background]
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye
Yeah
[softly]
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Try so hard to say goodbye
"Alright! That was Maroon 5!", "We're going to take a little break now", Rachel said while she and Maroon 5 waved and gave smiles.
They came back after around 10 minutes.
"Next song, is something catchy which I heard on the radio the other day, Shake it!"
The song started playing.
Let's drop!
Yeah, come on
Shake, shake
I'll take you home
If you don't leave me at the front door
(Leave me at the front door)
Your body's cold
But girl, we're getting so warm
And I was thinking of ways that I could get inside
(Get inside)
"Everybody, comeone, dance!", "shake what your mama gave ya!", Rachel said while she giggled.
Tonight you're falling in love
(Let me go now)
This feeling's tearing me up
(Here we go now)
Now, if she does it like this
Will you do it like that?
Now, if she touches like this
Will you touch her right back?
Now, if she moves like this
Will you move it like that?
Come on
"ready?", "Lets go!"
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it
Your lips tremble
But your eye's are in a straight stare
(In a straight stare)
We're on the bed
But your clothes are laying right there
And I was thinking of places that I could hide
(I could hide)
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it !
"WHOOOOO! Man, I'm worn out", "Damn, shouldn't have danced too hard", Rachel said, as she swung her shoulders. "The next song, is coming out in iTunes in like, four hours, midnight", "This is tonight"
She strummed her guitar and plucked her strings.
Well, here we are again
Throwing punchlines, no one wins
As the morning sun begins to rise, we're fading fast
And we won't work this out
No, we're not gonna work this out tonight
(We won't work this out)
No, we're not gonna make this right
So I'll give a kiss and say goodbye
(Give a kiss goodbye)
'Cause we're not gonna work this out
Tonight
Every single word's been said (Whoa oh oh oh)
Broke each other's hearts again (Oh oh oh)
As the starlit sky begins to shine, we're breakin' down
She screams out
No, we're not gonna work this out tonight
(We won't work this out)
No, we're not gonna make this right
So I'll give a kiss and say goodbye
(Give a kiss goodbye)
'Cause we're not gonna work this out
Tonight
"This is Ben, and he's my drummer. He's hella good. Give it up for BEN!", Rachel yelled into her microphone, as Ben, created a drum solo, right there and then.
"This is Sophia, she's my guitarist"
Sophia killed the solos
"This is Adam, he's playing the keys"
"This is Caitlin, she's the bassist!"
"Ready?", "ONE TWO THREE!"
(Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh)
(Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight)
We don't have to fight
Tonight
(Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh)
(Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight)
We just gotta try
Tonight
(We gotta work this out)
(Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh)
(Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight)
We don't have to fight
Tonight
(Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh)
(Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight)
We just gotta try
Tonight
No, we're not gonna work this out tonight
(We won't work this out)
No, we're not gonna make this right
So I'll give a kiss and say goodbye
(Give a kiss goodbye)
'Cause we're not gonna work this out
Tonight
Well, there's no need to fight, we're just wastin' time
(Tonight)
If you give it a try well then maybe you'll find
(We might work this out)
Well, we know we're in love so let's keep it alive
(Keep it alive, keep it alive)
(Tonight)
I'm starting to see the morning light
We finally worked this out
"A few more songs!", Rachel said, as she looked around and hear the screaming fans.
"The next song is, Highway To Hell, I'm feeling like a badass tonight", she smiled as she started the intro.
Livin' easy, lovin' free, season ticket, on a one way ride
Askin' nothin', leave me be, takin' everything in my stride
Don't need reason, don't need rhyme
Ain't nothing I would rather do
Goin' down, party time, My friends are gonna be there too
I'm on the highway to hell
On the highway to hell
Highway to hell
I'm on the highway to hell
No stop signs, speed limit, nobody's gonna slow me down
Like a wheel (ooh), gonna spin it. nobody's gonna mess me around
Hey Satan, payin' my dues (pay my dues), playin' in a rockin' band
Hey Mama, look at me, I'm on my way to the promised land whoa
I'm on the highway to hell (on the highway)
Highway to hell (I'm on a highway to hell)
I'm on the Highway to hell (I'm on it I'm on it)
highway to hell
Ooooh
Dont stop me!
I'm on the highway to hell
On the highway to hell! (I'm on the high way to hell)
Highway to hell!
I'm on the highway to hell
highway to hell
On the highway to hell!
Highway to hell!
I'm on the highway to hell
Don't stop me oooh yeah
"I don't know where I'm going after death, but I'm just happy and proud that I have spent time with the people I love. My family, and…. MY FANS!"
Intro to the song, Haunted started playing.
Rachel was behind the piano,
You and I walk a fragile line
I have known it all this time
but I never thought I'd live to see it break
It's getting dark and it's all too quiet
And I can't trust anything now
And it's coming over you like it's all a big mistake
Oh, I'm holding my breath
Won't loose you again
something's made your eyes go cold
Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Something's gone terribly wrong
You're all I wanted
Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Can't breathe whenever you're gone
Can't turn back now, I'm haunted
Stood there and watched you walk away
From everything we had
But I still mean every word I said to you
He would try to take away my pain
And he just might make me smile
But the whole time I'm wishing he was you instead
Oh, I'm holding my breath
Won't see you again
something keeps me holding on to nothing
Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Something's gone terribly wrong
You're all I wanted
Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Can't breathe whenever you're gone
Can't turn back now, I'm haunted
I know, I know, I just know
You're not gone. You can't be gone. No.
Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Something's gone terribly wrong
Won't finish what you started
Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Can't breathe whenever you're gone
Can't go back, I'm haunted
Oh
You and I walk a fragile line
I have known it all this time
Never ever thought I'd see it break.
Never thought I'd see it...
"Thanks to all! Have a great night! Don't forget, iTunes tonight!", she said, as she gave flyng kisses to the crowds.
