Mr Shu's POV:
Una: Well we're very pleased to see you all here today, it was such a great turnout and before we announce the winners we'd just like to say that we were very impressed with all the performances, and we'd just like to congratulate you all on your hard work and energy, however, I'm afraid there can only be one winner, so, without any further ado, let's announce the winners… In second place, in the western Ohio sectionals… is… the Jane Adams girls!
The audience all cheer and clap and everyone smiles, Toby walks up to them and hands a small silver trophy to the director, they shake hands and he makes his way back up to the other judges, I look over at the kids, Rachel has her eyes closed and is whispering something under her breath, Finn has his fingers crossed, Quinn is biting her lip and even Puck looks nervous…
Una: And… the winners… of the western Ohio sectionals… going to Regionals… are… The New Directions from the William McKinley High school!
Everyone in the audience cheers and claps and screams, Puck gets to his knee's cheering and Quinn, Rachel, Tina and Mercedes are all hugging each other and crying, everyone is jumping up and down, and as I see Una Healy heading my carrying a large golden trophy with green columns and gold stars on the top, she hands it to me and I hold it up above my head for everyone to see
*Back at the hotel*
Finn's POV:
We clamber out of taxis and through the entrance to the hotel, everyone can see Mr Shu carrying the trophy and everyone we pass congratulates us on our win, I'm feeling so pumped and excited and with Rachel on my arm and regionals ahead of me I feel like nothing can go wrong, we step into our lifts and make our ways to the rooms, we all cram into Mr Shu's room for a group meeting
Mr Shu: Congratulations everyone, you did it!
We all clap and laugh at the very sight of the trophy; Mr Shu proudly displays it on a shelf in the centre of one of the walls in the room.
Mr Shu: And I've just heard some exciting news!
Mike: What?
Mr Shu: Last year, Nationals was in New York, guess where it is this year?
Mercedes: New York again?
Mr Shu: No! Los Angelis!
Artie: No way! LA!
Mr Shu: Yes! And we are going!
Kurt: This is so awesome! I can't wait!
Mr Shu: Ok guys; go get a good night's sleep! We'll travel back tomorrow and spread the news of our win!
We all head back to our hotel rooms, me and the boys head into room 124 and the girls into 125, one we're all inside and in our beds I lie in the dark, staring out of the window and onto the streets of Ohio, cars drive past full of Lima losers, I don't want to stay here forever, once our child has grown up, me and Rachel and the baby are going to take our things and move to New York, it's Rachel's dream and I'll do anything to make her dreams come true. Also, if I'm honest, I think I can make someone of myself if I lived there, I could be a football player or baseball, I could even sing, or play the drums, I could perform, but what I really want is for a chance for Rachel to shine, I want to see her happy, and I don't want to mess up her life…
*In the girls room*
No one's POV:
Rachel: Oh no don't even go there! Urgh! How are you and Artie?
Quinn: Oh he's such a sweet boyfriend! What about Finn?
Rachel: Totally, I love just how cool he is with the whole baby thing, its great living with him! How's Mike Tina?
Tina: Great, but we don't really go on dates; it's always Dim Sum with his mom! What about Sam?
Mercedes: Oh he's all kinds of awesome, he bought me a beautiful little clover necklace the other day, so Lauren, are you and Puck going to get back together?
Lauren: I don't know, he's still a fox, but he broke my heart, I don't know if I can forgive him
Quinn: He is a really a good guy, very… VERY deep down, and he really likes you, I wouldn't throw that away
Rachel: Yeah, I really would give it a try
Santana: Don't…
Lauren: What?
Santana: Don't give it a try, Puck is my man, and sure he is a fox, but he's a stud, and he's my man, and you're just a sad little girl with an addiction to chocolate éclairs!
Lauren: I beg your pardon?
Rachel: Why are you such a bitch Santana?
Santana: Just keeping' it real!
Quinn: How many times do you have to say that before you realise that it's just plain mean!
Santana: Deal with it!
Tina: Enough Santana! Why are you just so horrible?
Santana: I'm not! I'm just honest?
Rachel: Yeah, well there is such thing as too honest!
*Rachel rolls over and turns the light off, she everyone lays in the dark in silence until eventually, everyone falls asleep*
