-Chapter-36-
-Rachel pov-
It has been a long month of watch and rehab. Apparently I took a bad fall and broke my ankle. Once the strong pain meds were gone I could feel it all. It has not been a fun experience.
Now we are just at school with everyone waiting. Waiting to see what happens next. Waiting to see which club bounces first. Which one of us will say something the others do not like.
"I will start" We all look at Dave "We...we have no ought against you all but we also have a bone to pick with you all"
"Noah did not call the police" I look at Sunshine with a raised eyebrow "It was Finn"
"How do you know?" They all share some looks "Hello?"
"Cause he was on a visit and stole my phone" I turn with my club and see Noah in the doorway "I have been following parole to see my baby girl if Shelby would let me...even had the club helping on a nice song we all could sing...maybe even let us merge with you all for a mega group"
"Finn snitched out everything you all do" We all sigh and I look at all of my girls who are frowning "We do not care as long as we just get to sing"
"New York we lost" I get up with my crutches "New Directions could never get the big one but the trouble tones...I think we all could finally do it"
I get my way over to the bands and whisper a song to them. They all nod and seem to be happy to be back together again. I look at the groups and see them recognizing the song. I smile as they all start getting into it.

[RACHEL]
Give me a second, I, I need to get my story straight
My friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the Empire State
My lover, he is waiting for me just across the bar
My seat's been taken by some sunglasses asking 'bout a scar, and...
I make my way back over and Santana pulls me into a hug.
[SANTANA]
I know I gave it to you months ago
I know you're trying to forget
But between the drinks and subtle things, the holes in my apologies
You know, I'm trying hard to take it back
[SAM & QUINN]
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home...
[NEW DIRECTIONS]
Tonight, we are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
[THE TROUBLETONES]
Tonight, we are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
I smile as the clubs come together. Noah is still in the doorway though.
[SANTANA & BRITTANY]
Now I know that I'm not
All that you got
I guess that I, I just thought
Maybe we could find new ways to fall apart
I make my way over to Noah and hold out my hand. I can tell they were being honest. We really could take it all if we all are together. I laugh as he picks me up and carry's me over to the smiling clubs.
[RACHEL]
But our friends are back
So let's raise a cup
Cause I found someone to carry me home
[NEW DIRECTIONS]
Tonight, we are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
[MERCEDES]
Whoa!
[THE TROUBLETONES]
Tonight, we are young (We are young)
So let's set the world on fire (Fire)
We can burn brighter (Brighter)
Than the sun
[QUINN]
Carry me home tonight (Na na na na na na na na)
Just carry me home tonight (Na na na na na na na na)
Carry me home tonight (Na na na na na na na na)
Just carry me home tonight (Na na na na na na na na)
[NOAH]
The moon is on my side (Carry me home tonight)
I have no reason to run (Just carry me home tonight)
So will someone come and carry me home tonight?
[SANTANA]
The angels never arrived (Na na na na na na na na)
But I can hear the choir (Just carry me home tonight)
So will someone come and carry me home...?
[RACHEL & NOAH]
Tonight, we are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
[MERCEDES]
We are young, yeah
[NEW DIRECTIONS AND TROUBLE TONES]
Tonight, we are young (We are young)
So let's set the world on fire (Fire)
We can burn brighter (Brighter)
Than the sun
[RACHEL & BRITTANY]
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home tonight
"This will be the best thing ever" Everyone is all smiles "Now we have one more thing to do first!"
"Way ahead of your squeakers" I raise my eyebrow and Santana hides behind Brittany "Sorry!"
"That is new to see but funny" I chuckle as Noah sits me down in a chair "What do you have latin princess?"
"My princess" He puts his hands up in surrender as I glare "Watch your cock before it gets chopped"
"Down girl!" I pout as Quinn pulls me into her side "Now do what you are mouthing about Santana and crew"
Everyone chuckles when Santana sticks her tongue out. I love that she is being herself here. I love that they all are being friendly. This has been so nice to come back to.

[WARBLERS & (SNOB)]
Bum, bum, bum
Ba da ba, ba da bum
Bum, bum, bum
Ba da ba ba da bum
Bum, bum, bum (Ooohh - Let's go!)
Ba da ba ba da bum
[SNOB & (WARBLERS)]
Steve walks wearily down the street
With his brim pulled way down low
Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet
Machine guns ready to go
Are you ready (Hey!)
Are you ready for this
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat?
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat
[SNOB with WARBLERS]
Yeah!
[WARBLERS, (SNOB with WARBLERS)]
Bum, bum, bum (Another one bites the dust)
Bum, bum, bum (Another one bites the dust; And another one gone)
And another one gone (Another one bites the dust, yeah)
Hey, I'm gonna get you to
[SNOB with WARBLERS, (WARBLERS), {WARBLERS}]
Another one bites the dust (Oooh, ohh!) {Yeeaah!}
[SNOB (with WARBLERS)]
How do you think I'm gonna get along (Without you when you're gone?)
You took me for everything that I had and (Kicked me out on my own)
[SNOB with WARBLERS]
Are you happy? Are you satisfied
How long can you stand the heat?
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat
[SNOB with WARBLERS]
Look Out!
[WARBLERS, (SNOB with WARBLERS)]
Bum, bum, bum (Another one bites the dust)
Bum, bum, bum (Another one bites the dust; And another one gone)
And another one gone (Another one bites the dust, yeah)
Hey, I'm gonna get you to, another one bites the dust (Oooh, ohh!)
[SNOBBY LOOKING GUY with WARBLERS, (JESSE), {WARBLERS}, (/WARBLERS\)]
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust (Jesse: Oooh!)
Another one bites the dust {Hey, hey!}
Another one bites the dust (/Heeeeeeeey\)
[SNOB]
Ooh shoot out
[SNOBBY LOOKING GUY with WARBLERS, (SNOB)]
There are plenty of ways that you can hurt a man
And bring him to the ground
You can beat him, you can cheat him, you can treat him bad
And leave him when he's down, yeah!
But I'm ready, I'm ready, yes I'm ready for you
I'm standing on my own two feet
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
Repeating to the sound of the beat (Oh, Yeah)
[WARBLERS, (SNOBBY GUY with WARBLERS), {SNOB}]
Bum, bum, bum (Another one bites the dust)
Bum, bum, bum (Another one bites the dust; And another one gone)
And another one gone (Another one bites the dust, yeah)
Hey, I'm gonna get you to, another one bites the dust {Shoot out!}
Another one bites the dust {Yeah}
Another one bites the dust {Alright}
"Sorry to ruin your happy time" I look at the normally smiling warblers confused "Sorry it took us so long to meet! I am Sebastian and these are the new warblers! Here is our hello"
Soon a bunch of slushies are thrown at us. When I clear my eyes they are all gone. I growl and look at the angry club members. They all look like they are steaming.
This regionals is going to be war.
