-Chaoter 15-Sectionals part 2-
-April pov-
"Alright kids you all got this!" I look out some and see Rachel with Carol "You all will take this by storm"
"Miss Rhodes you seem to have had your mind elsewhere the whole time" I turn and see the kids looking concerned "Are you ok?"
"Yeah" I look at the time and nod my head toward the stage "You all are up!"

This is a story about control
My control
Control of what I say
Control of what I do
And this time I'm gonna do it my way
I hope you enjoy this as much as I do
Are we ready?
I am
Cause it's all about control
And I've got lots of it
[PUCK]
When I was 17, I did what people told me, uhh!
I did what my father said, and let my mother mold me
But that was long ago
I'm in
[DAVE, ARTIE, PUCK]
Control (Never gonna stop)
Control (To get what I want)
Control (I've got to have a lot)
Control (And now I'm all grown up)
[ARTIE]
First time I fell in love
I didn't know what hit me
So young and so naive
I thought it would be easy
But now I know I've got to take
[DAVE, ARTIE, PUCK]
Control (Now I've got a lot, ow)
Control (To get what I want, uh)
Control (And never gonna stop)
Control (And now I'm all grown up)
[ARTIE & PUCK]
Jam, wooh wooh
[ARTIE]
Rebel, that's right
I'm on my own, I'll call my own shots
Thank you
[PUCK]
Got my own mind
I wanna make my own (Decisions)
When it has to do with (My life, my life)
[ARTIE & PUCK]
I wanna be the one in control
So let me take you by the hand
And lead you on this dance, ah
'Cause what I got is because I took a chance
I don't wanna rule the world
Just wanna run my life
So make your life a little easier
When you get the chance just take
[PUCK & ARTIE]
Control, ooh ooh (Now I've got a lot)
[DAVE, ARTIE, PUCK]
Control (To get what I want, ow)
Control (I'm never gonna stop)
Control
[ARTIE & PUCK]
Now I'm all grown up, wooh
Free-ee at last
Out here on my own
Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah
Now control this
[BLAINE & ARTIE, BOTH]
Uh
'Cause I've got my own mind
Gonna make my own decisions
When it has to do with my life
I wanna be the one in control
[PUCK & ARTIE]
I'm in control
I'm in control
I'm in control
I'm in control
The crowd eats it up and I can see Rachel give a nod. So far we have passed with flying colors! I turn toward Holly and give a thumbs up while the groups swap out. Just hope we can keep them baited in with this.
-Sunshine-Lauren-New directions-
I'm goin' back to Indiana
Back to where I started from
Goin' back to Indiana
Indiana here I come
I spread my wings for greener pastures
I still ain't found what I was after
I've got the blues and that is why I sing
I just wanna do my thing, yeah
I'm goin' back to Indiana
Indiana, here I come, yeah, yeah
I'm goin' back to Indiana
'cause that's where my baby's from
Yeah, okay Tito you got it
I'm goin' back to Indiana
Indiana, here I come
I'm goin' back to Indiana
'cause that's where my baby's from, yeah
Hollywood you got a lot of pretty things
I saw a lot of movies stars with diamonds rings
But I ain't got my baby and I'm feeling wrong
That's why I got to sing my song
I'm goin' back to Indiana
Indiana, here I come
I'm goin' back to Indiana
'cause that's where my baby's from, yeah
I'm comin', I'm comin', I'm comin'
I'm home, yeah
Ha ha Sis Boom Bah
One more time for Roosevelt High
Johny Ray, Tex, Scooter and Lorenzo too
Watch T W Brown do the boogaloo
Ev'ry soul that passes by
This song is for you from the Jackson 5
I'm comin home It's plain to see
I still got Indiana soul in me
I'm goin' back to Indiana
Indiana, here I come
I'm goin' back to Indiana
'Cause that's where my baby's from, yeah
That's where she is, yeah yeah yeah
The crowd still applauds and Rachel still seems interested in what is happening. Maybe we can pull this off fully! This is our last number before the judges vote and we come out for winners!

[ARTIE]
Ooh huh, hoo..ooh
[FINN]
I'm gonna make a change
For once in my life
[ARTIE & FINN]
It's gonna feel real good
Gonna make a difference
[FINN]
Gonna make it right...
[PUCK]
As I, turn up the collar on
My favorite winter coat
This wind is blowin' my mind
[ARTIE & BLAINE]
I see the kids in the street
[BLAINE]
(With not enough to eat)
[ARTIE & BLAINE]
Who am I, to be blind?
Pretending not to see their needs
[SAM (with ARTIE and BLAINE)]
A summer's disre(gard)
A broken bottle (top)
And one man's soul
[ARTIE (with BLAINE)]
They follow each other on the wind ya' know
(Cause they got no where to go)
That's why I want you to know
[FINN with NEW DIRECTIONS]
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself, and then make that change
[ARTIE with NEW DIRECTIONS]
Nanana nanana nananana
[ARTIE]
Oh oh...
[BLAINE (with ARTIE)]
I've been a victim of a selfish kinda love
It's time that I realize
(There are some with no home,)
Not a nickel to loan
Could it be, really me
(Pretending that they're not alone?)
[MIKE (with NEW DIRECTIONS)]
A willow deeply (scarred)
Somebody's broken (heart)
And a washed out dream
[NEW DIRECTIONS]
Washed out dream...
[PUCK]
They follow the pattern of the wind you see
[PUCK with FINN]
'Cause they got no place to be
That's why I'm starting with me
[FINN with ARTIE and (NEW DIRECTIONS)]
I'm starting with the man in the mirror (You)
I'm asking him to change his ways (You)
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself, and then make that change
I'm starting with the man in the mirror (You)
I'm asking him to change his ways (You)
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself, and then make that
[NEW DIRECTIONS]
Change!
[ARTIE & FINN, ((New Directions))]
I'm starting with the (man in the mirror) ((Oh yeah))
I'm asking him to change his ways ((Just change))
And no message could have been any clearer ((Ooh ooh))
[MIKE with NEW DIRECTIONS, (ARTIE)]
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change (Come on!)
You got to get it right, while you got the time (Wooooo!)
'Cause when you close your heart, (You can't), then you close your
(Close your, your mind) mind!
[FINN and NEW DIRECTIONS]
I'm starting with the (man in the mirror) (Oh yeah) (That man, that man, that man)
I'm asking him to change his ways (Just change) (Artie: That man, that man, that man, that man, You know, that man)
And no message (Could have been any clearer)
(Ooh ooh)
[ARTIE and FINN with NEW DIRECTIONS]
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself, and then make that change
[PUCK]
Stand up!
[ARTIE]
Stand up!
[NEW DIRECTIONS]
Make a change!
[FINN]
Stand up!
Stand up!
Lift, yourself now!
[NEW DIRECTIONS, (BLAINE), ((ARTIE))]
Man in the mirror!
(Ooh!)
(Ooh!) Ah aaah
(Ooh!) ah aaah
Make that change! ((Stand up! Stand up!))
[SAM & (NEW DIRECTIONS)]
You know!
You know!
You know! (Man in the mirror!)
You know!
[FINN with NEW DIRECTIONS]
Change!
[MIKE]
Make that change
We lost some of the crowd but it was still enough and a great performance! I look and frown when I see Rachel is gone. The kids come back and I smile at them all. We head to the green room while the judges talk and I feel my phone go off.
'You gave a challenged and are safe. Someone is still getting picked though by Carol. Hope you are not one of the unlucky ones. Bye my favorite cow!
XOXO,
Mistress'
So we were able to outlast and make a challenge for them. Now I just hope that I am safe from carols wrath. I wonder how she got in control of picking. But that is a worry for later.
Right now, we need to worry about who is going to win.
-Time skip-Rachel pov-
I watch as all of the clubs come out. I smile at my girls all spread on the stage. All of them should have chokers. We had to stop though because it was getting suspicious.
I mean a lot of girls showing up with chokers is not something to just pass by. I trust them all by now though. I have been talking with Britt about getting rid of the collars too. That is a group vote though.
"We have our votes in! In third place...The unitards!" Everyone claps as they get the third place trophy "Now the winner of the twenty-eleven Glee sectionals is...THE TROUBLE TONES!"
I can see the New directions frown but still applaud. The first place trophy comes to the trouble tones as I clap. Tonight is going to be a great celebration. I do feel bad about Holly and April giving it their all to lose.
They can come back and win Regionals. If they do we can both go to nationals. I can not wait to see us all in New York. I am in a really good mood now.
Tonight is going to be an amazing night. I think though, if the others agree, we can have a huge pizza night. We could get some movies and have a family night. We need to have one soon anyways.
We can discuss it on the way home. First we need to put the trophy in the club room. That will be such nice decoration for the small room. I stand up with Carol and we start our way to the green room.
I am so proud of all of my girls. They did wonderful at all of their jobs. They make me so proud everyday. I am thinking they need a special surprise.
I think I have just the right thing. Tonight will be calm and next week I will rock their world.
