Rachel:
I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive
I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise
The Warblers all began to clap along, instantly making a chain reaction for the other members of the audience to do so. Santana eyed her boyfriend as he had a smile on his face which was a mile wide. She knew he wanted them to win.
All:
To fly, to fly
Santana:
Oh yo, yo
Sebastian couldn't help himself so he stood up, Thad, Jeff and Nick all following suite as they supported the others.
Artie:
I used to think that I could not go on
Santana:
I wish today it will rain all day
Maybe that will kinda make the pain go away
Iris and her dad hunted the audience as they were all up, clapping along to the song. When Iris' eyes landed on Barry, she couldn't help but smile as well. She loved seeing him happy.
Artie:
And life was nothing but an awful song
Santana:
They got their guns out aiming at me
But I become Neo when they aiming at me
New Directions:
If I can see it
Blaine:
Me, me, me against them
Me against enemies, me against friends
New Directions:
Then I can do it
Blaine:
Somehow they both seem to become one
A sea full of sharks and they all smell blood
Kurt glared at Sebastian from the stage as he saw The Warblers cheering for them. Whilst he knew that Santana and Sebastian were really happy together, he still couldn't help but feel threatened by him.
New Directions:
If I just believe it
Blaine:
They start coming and I start rising
Must be surprising, I'm just surmising

Everyone cheered as they got into position for the next song. Sebastian was beyond proud of Santana, she always knew how to impress him time and time again. Whilst The Warblers were good, fantastic even, the New Directions were ultimately the group to beat, and with this being their home turf, everyone wanted to impress the judges.
Santana:
You know the bed feels warmer
Sleeping here alone
You know I dream in colour
And do the things I want
All The Warblers stared at Sebastian fondly as he cheered Santana on. He was seriously in love with this girl, they could all tell.
Brittany:
You think you got the best of me
Think you had the last laugh
Bet you think that everything good is gone
Think you left me broken down
Think that I'd come running back
Baby, you don't know me, cause you're dead wrong
David attempted to hide a smile but he couldn't. Only Zayn and another Warbler, Liam, knew of his crush on the cheerleader, and he wanted it to stay that way.
New Directions Girls:
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes you a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
Iris was shocked with the level of talent they all had, sure, Barry's group was by far the best, but they could all go places in the Music Industry if they wanted to, even Alan agreed to that.
Santana:
Thanks to you I got a new thing started
Santana smirked at Sebastian, who was smirking back. Sebastian could only just make out Jeff screaming to Nick about how perfect he and Santana together and that got the Captain rolling his eyes.
Mercedes:
Thanks to you I'm not the broken-hearted
Santana:
Thanks to you I'm finally thinking about me
Santana and Mercedes:
You know in the end the day you left was just my beginning
Santana:
In the end...
The girls were overwhelmed with the amount of support they were getting from not only the audience, but from their fellow competition. Now, it was no surprise that The Warblers would be cheering along, but the groups who didn't even cheer for anyone else were supporting them, and it really meant a lot to them.
New Directions Girls:
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
The song ended and the whole crowd was cheering, Sebastian was whistling, as was David, whilst the others were all clapping and cheering a lot more peaceful then them two. As the lights blackened out, they could all only just make out the sights of the group exiting the stage and someone entering it.
Rachel:
We could just go home right now
Or maybe we could stick around
For just one more drink, oh yeah
Get another bottle out
Let's shoot the breeze
Sit back down
For just one more drink, oh yeah
Here's to us
Here's to love
All the times
That we messed up
Here's to you
Fill the glass
'Cause the last few days
Have gone too fast
So let's give them hell
Wish everybody well
Here's to us
Here's to us
Stuck it out this far together
Put our dreams through the shredder
Let's toast 'cause things got better
And everything could change like that
And all these years go by so fast
But, nothing lasts forever
Rachel with New Directions:
Here's to us
Here's to love
All the times
That we messed up
Here's to you
Fill the glass
Rachel:
'Cause the last few nights
Have gone too fast
Rachel with New Directions:
If they give you hell
Tell them go forget themselves
Here's to us
Here's to us
Rachel:
Here's to all that we kissed
And to all that we missed
To the biggest mistakes
That we just wouldn't trade
Rachel with New Directions:
To us breaking up
Without us breaking down
To whatever's coming our way!
Rachel:
Here's to us!
Here's to us!
New Directions:
Here's to us
Here's to love
All the times
That we messed up
Rachel with New Directions:
Here's to you
Fill the glass
'Cause the last few nights
Have gone too fast
If they give you hell
Tell them forget themselves
Rachel:
Here's to us
New Directions:
Here's to us
Rachel:
Oh here's to us
New Directions:
Here's to us
Rachel with New Directions:
Here's to us
Here's to love
New Directions:
Here's to us
Rachel:
Wish everybody well
Rachel with New Directions:
Here's to us
Here's to love
Here's to us
Rachel:
Here's to us
The audience went wild as the song ended, everyone was screaming and it really wasn't hard to tell who was going to be the winner.
When The Warblers made it back to their changing room, they were surprised by a knock on the door, followed by lots of footsteps. Sebastian turned around, ending up face-to-face with Santana.
"You guys were amazing out there, I hope you guys win" Sebastian said, he knew some of The Warblers were still annoyed at the choice to not try and win but they couldn't talk back to their Captain so they kept their mouths shut.
"I cannot believe I'm about to say this but," Rachel began, with a sigh, "you all were pretty good out there too"
Everyone gasped as they heard Rachel's compliment. No-one had ever heard her compliment anyone before, let alone she complimented the competition.
Whilst Mr. Schuster looked at Rachel with compassion in her eyes, everyone else remained flabbergasted as she brushed off the compliment as if it was no deal.
"Who knew that Bitchy Berry could compliment someone other then herself" Santana whispered into Sebastian's ear, getting a chuckle in response. Since their time together, when the two glee clubs became civil again, all The Warblers had heard was Rachel complimenting herself every second and that even made Sebastian feel bad for Kurt, of all people.
"Surprised someone fount a spotlight big enough for both her and Porcelain" Sebastian retorted, getting a chuckle from Santana. He knew both Kurt and Rachel loved being in the spotlight and having the world centred directly around them—Rachel more than Kurt—and was surprised at how friendly the two divas were with each other.
"Let's head to the stage, guys" Mr. Schuster said, ushering both New Directions and The Warblers out of the one changing room.
As they walked, Santana remained near the back with Sebastian, their fingers were laced together and they were talking about life, something she had never spoken to anyone about since she left that Celibacy club Quinn lead.
"So, how are you doing?" Santana asked Sebastian seriously, Nick had sent her the video of Sebastian singing 'Dying in LA' and she knew her heart had broken at the sight of him crying. She knew that this whole situation with Karofsky was personal for him but she knew that he always kept up a mask whilst with other people or in a public space. So, why he allowed himself to freely cry when any of The Warblers could've walked in was beyond her.
"I'm fine" He replied instantly, wincing after realising how quickly he answered her. Santana didn't miss the wince either, she knew he was going to fake his answer anyway, she would do it if she was in his position.
"Wanna talk about it later?" She asked and he nodded, holding the door open for her as they made their way to the backstage area. The couple let go of each other's hands and walked on to the stage with their respective groups, all of them were holding in their emotions.
When it was announced that the Golden Goblets received third, all of The Warblers looked around at each other, wondering if maybe they had won it after all. If they did, then it was a win-win situation, but if they didn't, it didn't effect Sebastian either way really.
"THE NEW DIRECTIONS!"
Everyone from the New Directions began screaming as they won, whilst Sebastian kept a smile on his face too, he wasn't too disappointed with the outcome, he was just happy that maybe this helped him right some of the wrongs he had done. When one of the officials handed Sebastian the trophy, Blaine walked over, pulling Sebastian in for a hug, much to Kurt's dismay. Thad began walking over to the New Directions first, pulling in both Tina and Mercedes for a hug whilst Sebastian wrapped his arms around Santana once he and Blaine walked over.
"You deserve it" He whispered into her ear as he held on a little longer, enjoying having her in his arms once more. Although they lost, it still felt like a victory to Sebastian, a victory that certainly deserved a reward.
