Chapter 9: Regionals

The Lopez's take their seats, the six 'children' are in the fourth row back from the stage, near to the center, six of the adults are behind them and another four including Kristen who has Madalyn on her lap. The Warblers come on first; they perform Glad You Came by The Wanted, Stand by Lenny Kravitz and Uptown Girl by Billy Joel. Then a group called the Golden goblets made Rosa, Cass and Marco fall half asleep and Ariella gag. Finally they got off the stage and it was the New Directions turn. They started with Santana, Brittany and Quinn's mash-up of Bleeding Love by Leona Lewis and Take A Chance On Me by JLS. Then they get off the stage and the Troubletones come on;

SANTANA:
Move while you're watching me dance with the enemy I've got a remedy oh a oh a oh

BRITTANY:
I can see you stalking like a predator
I've been here before
Temptation calls like Adam to the apple
But I will not be caught
Cos I can read those velvet eyes
And all I see is lies

SANTANA WITH THE TROUBLETONES:
No more poison, killing my emotion
I will not be frozen
Dancing is my remedy, remedy oh

MERCEDES WITH THE TROUBLETONES
I'll start stop praying
Cos I'm not playing
I'm not frozen
Dancing is my remedy, remedy oh

TROUBLETONES:
I'll move while you're watching me
Dance with the enemy
I've got a remedy, oh a oh a oh
Move while you're watching me
Dance with the enemy
Here is my remedy, oh a oh a oh

BRITTANY:
Spin me faster like a kaleidoscope
All I've got's the floor

SANTANA:
Yeah you can try but I found the antidote
Music is the cure

MERCEDES:
So you can try to paralyze but I know best this time

SANTANA WITH THE TROUBOETONES:
No more poison, killing my emotion
I will not be frozen
Dancing is my remedy, remedy oh

MERCEDES WITH THE TROUBLETONES:
I'll start stop praying
Cos I'm not playing
I'm not frozen
Dancing is my remedy, remedy oh

TROUBLETONES:
Move while you're watching me

Move while you're watching me
Dance with the enemy

BRITTANY:
Lalalala lala lala lalala

SANTANA:
Lalalala lala lala lala

MERCEDES:
And when the music fades away
I know I'll be OK
Contagious rhythms in my brain
Let it play

BRITTANY:
No more poison, killing my emotion
I will not be frozen
Dancing is my remedy, remedy oh

SANTANA:
I'll start stop praying
Cos I'm not playing
I'm not frozen
Dancing is my remedy, remedy oh

TORUBLETONES:

BRITTANY+SANTANA+MERCEDES:
Here is my remedy
SANTANA+MERCEDES:
Oh a oh a oh

The Troubletones exit to stage right and they finish off with Rainbow

"…colours of the rainbow-ow yeah" Santana finishes, the other New Directions come forward to join her, Mercedes and Rachel and they bow together before walking off the stage. The judges stand up to go and decide who won and Ariella, Antonio and Julio grab Rosa, Cass and Marco and run to the New Directions dressing room while the adults stay in their seats.

"I have to say that that was pretty good" Antonio says as they step into the room, effectively getting the attention of the room

"How the hell did you get in here?" Santana asks, not really bothered and still picking her nails on the sofa with her legs on Brittany's lap

"He bribed his way in after I refused to flirt with the guy" Ariella says, picking her nails. It seems to be a family trait

"You tried to sell your cousin out?" Brittany asks him, he nods

"Classy." Santana comments

"That was so cool Tana" Rosa says

"Big lights!" Cass agrees

The voice calls through the loudspeaker that the crowd need to return to their seats, they quickly hug Santana and Brittany before making their way back.

"And the winner of the two-thousand and twelve regionals championship is….The New Directions!"

The Lopez's clap wildly and start off the standing ovation while the New Directions embrace on stage. Santana winks at her family; where would she be without them? They may be crazy and occasionally deluded but they were the best people she knew. They were her family. They'd stayed with her through thick and thin. What more could a person ask for?
