Another Puckerman

Recap: Maria's POV: "Dude, you better get up off my sister." He warned. He called me his sister! Wow, he is starting to accept me. It is great to finally be a part of a loving family. I am so blessed to have a wonderful mom, a great sister, and now a protective brother.

Chapter 10: Sing-Off

Maria's POV:

It is finally time. I looked at the auditorium double doors reproachfully. I have been teasing Puck and Sam about their ultimate downfall, but there is no doubt that I am super nervous about this conversation. Mr. Shue told us that whoever wins, in addtition to the free dinner at Breadstix, gets to perform their song at Sectionals. After he said that he told us all to head to the auditorium and he will be here shortly with the two other judges.

"Come on Maria, don't get stage-fright now. I thought you were going to 'kick my butt'. I want to win this competition fair and sqaure." Sam said.

"Oh don't you worry darling. I am going to beat you into next week. But, I am allowed to be nervous." I told him teasingly.

"Then what are we waiting for?" He said and pulled me into the auditorium. We ended up in the third row from the stage. We talked quietley while everyone trickled in and we waited on Mr. Shue before starting.

"Are you ready to be beaten Maria?" Puck asked as he leaned forward from where he was sitting behind us with the rest of the football players.

"I am ready to beat." I told him.

"Fat chance," he said, "So, what song are you going to sing?" He asked.

"I am singing, wait and see." I told him sarcastically. He obviously didn'y catch on because of what he said next.

"Who's that by?" he asked curiously.

"Your momma!" I said.

"You loser!" He souted and ruffled my hair.

"I am not you big lug. There is also no way I am telling you what I am singing." I told him as I shoved his big meaty paws off my hair.

"Why not? It's not like it will affect your losing the competition." He said.

"You are wrong good sir!" I shouted and pointed a finger at him. He laughed and settled back with 'the boys'. I turned my attention back to Sam. "How bad did he mes up my hair?" I asked. "Does I look bad?"

"You could never look bad, you're beautiful." He said and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear, causing me to blush. Then he kissed my forehead and said playfully, "You're hair is nice too by the way."

"Oh shut up!" I said and shoved his shoulder.

"Woman you wound me." He mockingly wailed. I was about to reply when the double doors slammed open revealing the devil herself, Sue Sylvester. She was followed in by Mr. Shue and a rather muscular, yet pretty, woman.

"Alright Glee Club. I know these two are not the surprise judges that I bet you were suspecting." Mr. Shue said coming to stand in front of the stage with Sue and the mystery woman in tow.

"D mn straight Mr. S." Puck said.

"Watch your language Puck," I told him.

"You think that language is bad? You wouldn't have ever made it back when I was a kid. Everybody cussed then, it's even in the films during those years?" Sue said, with an eyeroll.

"I didn't know they made films back when the wheel was invented." I said without hesitation. I was deeply satisfied with the look of anger on her face. I guess no one talks back to the 'Mighty' Sue Sylvester! Ha! Mr. Shue put his arm in front of Sue to restrain her if necessary before speaking quickly to change the subject.

"Anyway, you all know Coach Sylvester. This other lady beside me is Coach Bieste. Not only is she going to help judge this competition, she is also going to help coach the football team. Now, I have everyone's name in this plastic cup. I will dig out a name and whoever's team that is shall perform. Now I think there has been enough stalling. So without further ado, the first performance will be," he said while closing his eyes and reaching into the cup, "Rachel, you are up first." Then the judges sat down in the first row. Sue gave me another glare before she sat down. Rachel made her way slowly up the stage. She immediatley went to the piano on the stage and fixed the mic to her liking.

"The song I chose for this most harebrained topic was Celine Dion's If That's What It Takes. I am absolutley positive that this will be the highlight of your day and everyone will thouroughly enjoy my rendition of Celine's 1996 hit." Then she started to play and sing.

You're the bravest of hearts, you're the strongest of souls
You're my light in the dark, you're the place I call home
You can say it's all right, but I know that you're breaking up inside
I see it in your eyes
Even you face the night afraid and alone
That's why I'll be there

When the storm rises up, when the shadows descend
Ev'ry beat of my heart, ev'ry day without end
Ev'ry second I live, that's the promise I make
Baby, that's what I'll give, if that's what it takes
If that's what it takes

You can sleep in my arms, you don't have to explain
When your heart's crying out, baby, whisper my name
'Cause I've reached out for you when the thunder is crashing up above
You've given me your love
When your smile like the sun that shines through the pain
That's why I'll be there

When the storm rises up, when the shadows descend
Ev'ry beat of my heart, ev'ry day without end
I will stand like a rock, I will bend till I break
Till there's no more to give, if that's what it takes
I will risk everything, I will fight, I will bleed
I will lay down my life, if that's what you need
Ev'ry second I live, that's the promise I make
Baby, that's what I'll give, if that's what it takes

Through the wind and the rain, through the smoke and the fire
When the fear rises up, when the wave's ever higher
I will lay down my heart, my body, my soul
I will hold on all night and never let go
Ev'ry second I live, that's the promise I make
Baby, that's what I'll give, if that's what it takes

If that's what it takes
Every day
If that's what it takes
Every day

Everyone clapped for her. It's hard not to love the talent but it's very easy to dislike the talented. Rachel stood and curtsied before giving a long-winded speech thanking us all for being her audience. Mr. Shue stood and turned to face us when she was seated.

"The next performance will be by," he took a moment to dig into the cup, "Sam and his group." Mr. Shue sat back down while Sam, Puck, Finn, Matt, and Jamie stood to go on stage. Sam gave the crown of my head a kiss as he stood. "Be prepared to be amazed." Then once all the boys were on stage Finn leaned into his mic and said,

"We decided to make this fun and very memorable for you guys."

"So, we created a mash up of two of the all time greatest 90's songs," Jamie said.

"We don't think ya'll will have any trouble recognizing the two songs, so here we go!" Sam said before the band began to play.

Sam, Puck, Finn, Matt, and Jamie, All

Get your motor runnin'

Head out on the highway

Lookin' for adventure

And whatever comes our way

Yeah darlin' go make it happen

Take the world in a love embrace

Fire all of your guns at once

And explode into space

I wanna be yours pretty baby

Yours and yours alone

I'm here to tell ya honey

That I'm bad to the bone

Bad to the bone

B-B-B-B Bad

Bad to the bone

I like smoke and lightening

Heavy metal thunder

Racin' with the wind

And the feeling that I'm under

Yeah darlin' go make it happen

Take the world in a love embrace

Fire all of your guns at once

And explode into space

I make a rich woman beg

I make a good woman steal

I'll make an old woman blush

And make a young girl squeal

I wanna be yours pretty baby

Yours and yours alone

I'm here to tell ya honey

That I'm bad to the bone

Bad to the bone

B-B-B-B Bad

Bad to the bone

Like a true nature's child

We were born, born to be wild

We climb so high

I never wanna die

Bad to the bone

B-B-B-B Bad

Bad to the bone

Born to be wild

I was one of the first out of my seat cheering for the boys. I have to admit, they rocked! They bowed and Sam did an Elvis impression before they left the stage. Mr. Shue gave the boys a compliment and dug out another name from the cup. "The next performance will be by Tina and her group." Their group took to the stage as more nervous butterflies took to fluttering in my stomach. This is mostly because I didn't notice earlier but their group dressed up for their song. They just upped the ante and I can only hope to bring my all and win.

"Our group had the same idea, except ours is not a mash up. It is just a magnificent song by a magnificent artist." Mercedes said. That was all the introduction they were giving us and the music started to play.

Artie, Mercedes, Brittany, Mike, and Tina All

You can't touch this

My, my, my music hits me so hard
Makes me say "Oh my Lord"
Thank you for blessing me
With a mind to rhyme and two hype feet
It feels good, when you know you're down
A super dope homeboy from the Oaktown
And I'm known as such
And this is a beat, uh, you can't touch

I told you homeboy (You can't touch this)
Yeah, that's how we living and you know (You can't touch this)
Look at my eyes, man (You can't touch this)
Yo, let me bust the funky lyrics (You can't touch this)

Fresh new kicks, advance
You gotta like that, now you know you wanna dance
So move, outta your seat
And get a fly girl and catch this beat
While it's rolling, hold on
Pump a little bit and let 'em know it's going on
Like that, like that
Cold on a mission so fall them back
Let 'em know, that you're too much
And this is a beat, uh, you can't touch

Yo, I told you (You can't touch this)
Why you standing there, man? (You can't touch this)
Yo, sound the bell, school is in, sucka (You can't touch this)

Give me a song, or rhythm
Make 'em sweat, that's what I'm giving 'em
Now, they know
You talking about the Hammer you talking about a show
That's hype, and tight
Singers are sweating so pass them a wipe
Or a tape, to learn
What's it gonna take in the 90's to burn
The charts? Legit
Either work hard or you might as well quit

That's word because you know...

You can't touch this

Break it down! (Music breaks down) Stop, Hammer time!

Go with the funk, it is said
That if you can't groove to this then you probably are dead
So wave your hands in the air
Bust a few moves, fun your fingers through your hair
This is it, for a winner
Dance to this and you're gonna get thinner
Move, slide your rump
Just for a minute let's all do the bump, bump, bump

Yeah... (You can't touch this)
Look, man (You can't touch this)
You better get hype, boy, because you know (You can't touch this)
Ring the bell, school's back in (You can't touch this)

Break it down! (Crazy bridge) Stop, Hammer time!

You can't touch this

Break it down! (Nice pants, Hammer) Stop, Hammer time!

Every time you see me
The Hammer's just so hype
I'm dope on the floor and I'm magic on the mic
Now why would I ever stop doing this?
With others making records that just don't hit
I've toured around the world, from London to the Bay
It's "Hammer, go Hammer, MC Hammer, yo Hammer"
And the rest can go and play

You can't touch this

Wow! Their dancing was impeccable! Their performance was overall excellent. They quickly said their thanks and took in Mr. Shue's compliments. Mr. Shue quickly dug into the cup and after pulling out names of those who had already performed he pulled Quinn's name. Her and Santana quickly took the stage and sat on stools they had pulled over. They checked with the band to make sure everything was set then Quinn took the mic and looked at us.

"Now, we decided to choose two songs to mash up and instead of a happy feel to them, our songs are more on the serious and emotional side. We absolutley fell in love with these songs and here we go.

Quinn and Santana Both

I've sure enjoyed the rain

But I'm looking forward to the sun

You have to feel the pain

When you love the love you gave someone

I thought by now the time

Would take away these lonely tears

I hope you're doing fine all alone

But where do I go from here, 'cause

Without you I'm not okay

And without you

I've lost my way

My heart's stuck

In second place, ooh

Without you

I said I wanna touch the earth

I wanna break it in my hands

I wanna grow something wild and unruly

I wanna sleep on the hard ground

In the comfort of your arms

On a pillow of bluebonnets

In a blanket made of stars

Oh it sounds good to me, I said

Cowboy take me away

Fly this girl as high as you can

Into the wild blue

Set me free, oh I pray

Closer to heaven above, and

Closer to you, closer to you

Well I never thought that I'd be

I wanna walk and not run

Lying here without you by my side

I wanna skip and not fall

It seems unreal to me that

I wanna look at the horizon

The life that you promised was a lie

And not see a building standing tall

You made it look so easy

I wanna be the only one

Making love into memories

For miles and miles

I guess you got what you wanted

Except for maybe you

But what about me

And your simple smile

Somebody tell my head to tell my heart

That I'm better off without you

'cause I can't live

Without you

Cowboy take me away

Closer to you, closer to you

Oh it sounds so good to me

Well, I lied before. Quinn and Santana's performance is the best. Oh, holy crap now I am up! When did Quinn and Santana leave the stage. I said a quick prayer in my head, not to win but to do my best. Then Mr. Shue said, "Maria, you are the last one. Let's see what you got." He said.

"Wish me luck!" I whispered to Sam and stood up.

"Don't need any to win second place." He said with a wink before pushing me on towards the stage. I got up on the stage and made sure the band was ready. I grabbed the guitar that Ricky Horton, one of the band members, had ready for me. Then I went to stand in the spotlight. I grabbed the mic and looked to the glee club.

"I too decided to keep this fun and entertaining. Now before I pass out from nerves, I hope yolu enjoy!" I started strumming and getting into my element.

I woke up this morning with a buzz rollin' 'round in my brain
I haven't been drinkin' but it feels pretty good just the same
It must be contagious-looks like it's goin' around
It's cool once you catch it-you can't keep your feet on the ground
C'mon, c'mon-let's get something started
C'mon, c'mon-let's start something now

We're gonna rock this country
We're gonna rock this country
Every brown-eyed boy-every blue-eyed girl
Gotta really go psycho-give it a whirl
We're gonna rock this country
Right out of this world
Ah-oo-na-na-na...

From Utah to Texas, Minnesota, Mississippi too
Or Nevada, no matter where you live-this buzz is for you

C'mon, c'mon-let's get something started
C'mon, c'mon-let's start something now

Ah-oo-na-na-na...

We're pluggin' in the power
Crankin' up the sound
It's comin' your direction
It's headin' to your town
We're kickin' up dust
Blowin' off steam
Let's get nuts now
Everybody scream

I strummed the last notes and let the guitar hang from the straps. The auditorium the bursted into applause. I am glad that they liked it. I was terribly worried that they would hate it. I looked to Puck and Sam standing and clapping and mouthed 'take that'. Then I gave Ricky back the guitar I borrowed for the song. I left the stage quickly and took my place next to my Sam. Mmm, that sounds nice, my Sam. Now, I can be nervous for the date. Mr. Shue, Sue, and Coach Bieste stood up and announced that they were going to go and deliberate for a minute or two to see who the winner is going to be. Well all chatted a little as we waited for them to return. After five minutes, only Mr. Shue entered.

"Alright and the winner of the 90's competition is," he began.

(AN: Hey people! I am sorry that I could not resist the urge to leave you with this cliffhanger. Whoever reviews or pms me witht the correct winner, will get to have their character put into this story. SO just review or pm me with your guess, and character details(name, age, grade, gender, description, and I can take care of the rest or any other details you want to send me; an additional award is a song to use in sectionals or regionals, or just a regular chapter), then in the next update it will be revealed. Oh, and this offer is only to the first person to guess it right. If no one attempts then no new character will be added. If no one guess correctly then the first person to guess will be awarded their character in my story. I hope you guys guess! I would love just plain reviews telling me if you even liked this chapter update or the song choices. I also want to apologise for the overdue wait. I have been swamped with my college courses, but hey I made all A's! Yay for me! I have yet to get my book published though, none of you fantastic readers have sent me any publishers or publishing houses! Well, now that it is summer I hope to get it published! I wonder if you fantastic readers would be interested in my book? Anyway, it is midnight and I am tired. I had a very long day. So good night and I hope to hear from you! I don't own Glee!
