It was Regionals. Finn stood there, scared out of his mind. Last time they had Regionals, Quinn went into labor. Oh, and they lost. Rachel had spoken to Kurt and Blaine a bit before the show started. He kissed Rachel and her stomach before they went on.
"Break a leg." He said. She nodded and fixed her hair a bit. "I love you. Both of you." He said.
Rachel grinned and smiled. "We love you,too." She told him. She looked at the curtain in front of her. She smiled as they announced. She was so happy that had picked songs from teh hit Broadway musical Spring Awakening, yes it was a bit racy, but oh well. She smiled as the music to the song The Guilty Ones came on. Her and Finn, were going to sing it as the ballad. And the others, were on stage already, singing some of it. She smiled as she stepped out from behind the curtain. The spotlight on her.
"Something's started crazy –
Sweet and unknown
Something you keep
In a box on the street –
Now it's longing for a home." Rachel sang.
"And who can say what dreams are?" Singing came from behind the curtain on stage, the other Glee members were back there.
"Wake me in time to be lonely and sad." She sang, the other glee girls sang as well.
"And who can say what we are?" The others sang.
"This is the season for dreaming.
And now our bodies are the guiltly ones.
Who touch, and color the hours.
Night won't breathe.
Oh how we.
Fall in silence from the sky." She sang by herself. Finn snuck out from the curtain.
"And whisper some silver reply. Oh,oh,oh." They sang together. Rachel froze like she was practiced to do.
"Pulse is gone and racing.
All fits and starts.
Window by window
You try and look into
This brave new you that you are." Finn sang by himself.
"And who can say what dreams are?" The other glee members sang.
"Wake me in time to be out in cold." Finn sang with only the glee boys.
"And who can say what we are?" The others sang.
"This is the reason for dreaming."Finn sang. Rachel moved towards him.
"And now our bodies are the guilty ones.
Our touch
Will fill every house.
Huge and dark.
Oh, our hearts.
Will murmur the blues from on high." They all sang. The curtain rose, revealing all the other glee members.
"And whisper some silver reply. Woah, oh, oh.
And now our bodies are the guilty ones.
Our touch will color the hours.
Night won't breathe.
Oh, how we.
Fall in silence from the sky.
And whisper some silver reply." They all sang again.
"And now our bodies are the guilty ones." Only Finn and Rachel sang this one part.
The crowd erupted in applause. Already a standing ovation for one song. Kurt was gleaming from his seat next to Blaine.
The next song's music started, more upbeat. It was My Junk. Only this song and the last one was left. And then Kurt's team would sing.
"In the midst of this nothing.
This miss of a life.
Still there's this one thing just to see you go by." Rachel sang.
"Almost like loving, sad as that is." Quinn sang, taking Rachel's hand with a smile.
"May not be cool, but it's so where I live." Tina sang next. Taking Quinn's other hand.
"It's like I'm your lover, or more like your ghost." Santana sang. Taking Tina's last hand.
"I spend the day wondering.
What you do.
Where you go." Brittany sang, taking Santana's hand with a grin.
"I try and just kick it, but what can I do?
We all got our junk.
And my junk is you." Merecedes sang, taking Rachel's extra hand. They all stepped forward, dropping hands. The boys came out, standing behind them. Finn behind Rachel, Sam behind Quinn, Artie behind Brittany, Mike behind Tina, Puck behind Santana, and the newest guy, Luke, behind Merecedes.
"See us winter walking after a storm.
It's chill in the wind, but it's warm in your arms." The guys pulled the girls back into their arms, tightly. Finn kissing the top of Rachel's head in the process.
"We stop all snow blind.
May not be true.
We've all got our junk,
And my junk is you." All the girls sang it together, pointing at the guys holding them at the end of the line. They stood behind the guys then, their arms wrapped around their waist.
Puck stepped up, taking Santana's hand in his. Spinning her around a bit.
"Well, you have to excuse me.
I know it's so off.
I love when you do stuff that's rude and so wrong." He sang. Santana winked at him, walking away. Puck chasing her.
Sam stepped up next. Looking lovingly at Quinn.
"I go up to my room,
turn the stereo on,
shoot up some you,
in the You of some song." He sang to her, kissing her cheek.
"I lie back..." The others sing back up.
"I lie back just drifting." Tina sang.
"Drifting..." The others sang.
"Play out these scenes." Tina sang, smiling.
"These scenes..." The others sang.
"I ride on the rush." Tina sang, looking at everyone out in the audience. They were eating it up.
"The rush..."Back up came.
"All the hopes, all the dreams." Tina sang, looking back at Mike who winked at her.
"The dreams..." Once more back-up came. Santana stepped up.
"I may be neglecting the things I should do.
But we've all got our junk." Santana sang.
"Yeah! Yeah!" All the boys sang.
"And my junk is you!" She sang.
"See we still keep talking after you're gone.
You're still with me then.
Feels so good in my arms.
They say you go blind.
Maybe it's true.
We've all got our junk.
And my junk is you!" They all sang. Boys and girls together. Doing the choreography they were given.
"It's like we stop time."They all stopped dancing.
"What can I do?
We've all got our junk
And my junk is you.
My junk is you.
You!
You!
You!"
The music stopped, once again, a roar of applause. Yes, New Directions were going to win. Vocal Adrenaline and The Wabbolers would lose. For once, New Directions were going to Nationals. Just one last song. The music started, Finn took his spot in center stage, everyone else sat on the edge of the stage, their backs to the audience, watching Finn.
"There's a moment you know.
You're stuck.
Not a inch more room
To self destruct.
No more moves
Oh yeah!
The dead end zone.
Man you just can't call
Your soul your own." Finn sang.
Puck stood up and turned to the audience. "But thing that makes you really jump, is that the weirdest stuff is still to come. You can ask yourself 'Hey, what have I done?' You're just a fly, the little guys, they kill for fun." He sat back down.
Sam jumped up then.
"Man you're stuck if you just freeze up.
Can't do that thing
That keeping still." He sang, still standing.
Mike jumped up next. All eyes on him.
"But you're stuck if you speak your mind."
Puck stood back up.
"And you know,
Uh-huh,
You will." Puck, Sam, and Mike sang together.
All the others stood up and sang together.
"Yeah you're stuck all right.
And all your spite.
You can kiss your sorry life goodbye.
Totally stuck
Will they mess you up.
Well ya know they're gonna try."
Finn stepped forward with a smile.
"Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah." He said.
"Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah." They repeated.
"Disappear
Yeah well.
You wanna try.
Wanna bundle up
Into some big whole lie.
Long enough for them
To all just quit!
Long enough for you
To get out of it." Finn sang.
"Yeah you're stuck all right.
And all your spite.
You can kiss your sorry life goodbye.
Totally stuck
Yeah, they'll mess you up.
Well ya know
They're gonna try." They all sang.
"Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
Blah, blah, blah!" They jumped around at that part. Stopping for the last line, even though they were in random places all over the stage.
"TOTALLY STUCK!" They all yelled, heads down as the music ended right there and then. Another roar of an applause. Rachel looked at Finn.
"We are going to win this thing." She told him over the applause. He nodded and hugged her.
"I know we are."He replied.
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
I hoped you like this long chapter full of my favorite songs from "Spring Awakening". I find it funny that I put Rachel as the lead girl when Lea Michelle really did play the lead girl in the Broadway show. Ah! Too bad Jonathan Groff doesn't play Finn, it would have been hilarious!
