-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!"

[DAVE]

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!

(Lyrics from genius)

[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.
