Chapter 6
"The next duet is Trouble Tones Rachel and Jesse." Jesse and Rachel hugged and then took to the stage to blow Sam and Mercedes out the water.
"{Rachel}
I know there's something
In the wake of your smile
I get a notion from the look
In your eyes, yea
You've built a love
But that love falls apart
Your little piece of heaven
Turns too dark
Listen to your heart
When he's calling for you
{Jesse}
Listen to your heart
There's nothing else you can do
{Rachel and Jesse}
I don't know where you're going
And I don't know why
But listen to your heart
Before you tell him goodbye
Yeah
{Rachel}
Sometimes you wonder
If this fight is worthwhile
The precious moments are
All lost in the tide, yeah
{Jesse}
They're swept away and
Nothing is what it seems
The feeling of belonging
To your dreams
Listen to your heart
When he's calling for you
{Rachel}
Listen to your heart
There's nothing else you can do
{Rachel and Jesse}
I don't know where you're going
And I don't know why
But listen to your heart
Before you tell him goodbye
Oh, oh, oh, oh
{Rachel}
And there are voices
That want to be heard
So much to 2mention
But you can't find the words
{Rachel and Jesse}
The sense of magic
The beauty that's been
Beauty that's been
When love was wilder
Than the wind
Listen to your heart
When he's calling for you
{Rachel}
Listen to your heart
{Jesse}
Listen to your heart
{Rachel}
There's nothing else you can do
{Rachel and Jesse}
I don't know where you're going And I don't know why
{Rachel}
But listen to your heart
{Jesse}
Listen to your heart Before, oh! Listen to your heart
{Rachel and Jesse}
Listen to your heart
Take a listen to it,
whoa I don't know
where you're going
And I don't know why
But listen to your heart
Before you tell him goodbye." Jesse and Rachel took a bow and walked off the stage. Santana was the first to greet Rachel with a kiss.
"Babe you were amazing." Santana told Rachel.
"Thanks baby, but I couldn't have been so amazing without my leading man Jesse." Rachel said looking at Jesse.
"You are very welcome, Rae. We got this! The way the crowed responded to us...Man, it's like the stage is where we belong." Jesse said with a smile on his face.
"My exact feeling, we going to famous, you and me, just like we always talked about." Rachel said.
"I can't agree more Rae, and this is why we are best friends. But hey, give me a second, I'm going to call my boyfriend, be right back." Jesse said as he walked towards the hall.
"Okay, tell Aaron I said hi." Rachel said as Jesse turned to face Rachel, nodded his head before walking out the auditorium.
"Round 2 is over and now get ready for Round 3. Now remember, Round 3 and 4 will comprise of 2 group numbers. 1 song for Round 3 and 1 song for Round 4. Trouble Tones, will go first, after a 10- minute break." Holly said before leaving the stage.
Everyone leaves and walks around for a bit. Jesse returns as the boys get ready for their group number. After everyone returns and has a seat ready for the next round.
"The Trouble Tones singing Iridescent." Holly said, welcoming them onto the stage. The boys take the stage and kills it.
"{Jake}
When you were standing
In the wake of devastation
When you were waiting on
The edge of the unknown
And with the cataclysm raining down
Insides crying "Save me now!"
You were there impossibly alone
{Everyone}
Do you feel cold
And lost in desperation?
You build up hope
But failure's all you've known
Remember all the sadness and frustration
And let it go... Let it go
{Puck}
And in a burst of light
That blinded every angel
As if the sky had blown the heavens into stars
You felt the gravity of tempered grace
Falling into empty space
No one there to catch you in their arms
{Everyone}
Do you feel cold
And lost in desperation?
You build up hope,
But failure's all you've known
Remember all the sadness and frustration
And let it go… Let it go
Do you feel cold
And lost in desperation?
You build up hope,
But failure's all you've known
Remember all the sadness and frustration
And let it go... Let it go
Let it go… Let it go
Let it go… Let it go
{Jake and Puck}
Do you feel cold
And lost in desperation?
You build up hope
But failure's all you've known
Remember all the sadness and frustration
And let it go… Let it go." The crowed burst into cheers as the group bows then leaves the stage.
"That was electric."Jake said to his team.
"Yeah it was." Puck agreed giving Jake a high five.
"Is it always like that?" Roderick asks.
"Yeah pretty much." Puck answered.
"And now the New Directions with "Keep Holding On". The team led by Finn took the stage after giving Rachel and her team a series of diary looks.
" {Mercedes}
You're not alone
Together we stand

"Round 3 is over and it's time for the last round. The second group number. New Directions is up first." Finn and his team head back on stage with a smirk on their faces. Santana walks up behind Rachel and holds close.
"I can't wait to wipe the smirk off their faces. They really think they have this in the bag."
"We're going to keep letting them think that. All we can do is focus on the next performance."
The performance starts and Rachel laughs...Of course Mr. Schue will go for their most liked song.
"{Mercedes}
I'm just a small town girl
Livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin'
Anywhere
{Finn}
Just a city boy Born and raised in South Detroit He took the midnight train goin' anywhere
{Kurt}
A singer in a smoky room
{Sugar}
The smell of wine and cheap perfume
{Everyone}
For a smile they can share
The night It goes on and on
And on and on
Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searchin'
In the night Streetlight,
People
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin' somewhere in the night
{Mercedes}
Workin' hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anythin' to roll the dice
Just one more time
{Finn}
Some will win,
Some will lose
Some are born to sing the blues
And now the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on
{Everyone}
Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searchin'
In the night Streetlight,
People
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin' somewhere in the night
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlight,
People
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlight,
People
Don't stop!"
"We have to kill it, Sunshine, I need you to bring us home. I mean, bring everything that you have and leave it on that stage tonight." Rachel says, as the crowd goes crazy for Finn's team, which was pissing everyone off.
"I'm going to bring the house down, as best I could." Sunshine said as Shelby and Sue walks up.
"I know we agreed not to be backstage, but this is the last performance and we wanted to say that we are so proud of you. Win or Lose you guys are champions. But just to keep Sue's heart intact, let's go out there and win this." Shelby says.
"If you lose, you ALL will be on the Cheerios. I DEMAND GREATNESS!" Sue yelled,
"What Sue's trying to say is good luck and have fun." Shelby said to the team.
"I will not have that over-greased, curly hair, vest wearing, jackass beat me...I swear to all..." Sue said.
"We are going back to our seats now, good luck." Shelby said, pushing Sue towards the exit.
"Game Over!" Finn says as he walks to where his team gathers.
"Now it's time for the Trouble Tones last performance, then we will see who will emerge victorious." Holly said as Sunshine takes a deep breath then takes center stage,
"{Sunshine}
All my life
I've waited for the right
Moment to let you know,
I don't wanna let you go,
But now I've realized
That there's just no perfect time
To confess how I feel,
This much I know is real
So, I'll refuse to waste
One more second
Without you knowin' my heart…
{Everyone}
Baby,
Cause I don't need anything
Else but your love,
Nothing but you mean a thing to me,
I'm incomplete
When you're not there,
Holding me,
Touching me
I swear
All of the rest could just disappear
And I wouldn't even care,
As long as you're there.
{Sunshine}
Take these words,
Don't let them go unheard,
This is me reaching out,
I hope you can hear it now
Cause, baby my heart said stay,
Take it, it's yours to break
I'd rather try and lose,
Than keep this love from you,
Yeah…
{Everyone}
So, I'll refuse to
Waste one more second
Without you knowin' my heart
Baby, cause I don't need anything
Else but your love,
Nothing but you means a thing to me,
I'm incomplete
When you're not there,
Holding me,
Touching me
I swear
All of the rest could just disappear
And I wouldn't even care,
As long as you're there.
{Sunshine}
Each day and night,
That I've kept this a secret,
It'd kill me; it's time to share
What I feel inside
{Everyone}
I don't need anything
Else but your love,
Nothing but you mean,
A thing to me,
I'm incomplete
When you're not there,
Holding me,
Touching me
I swear
All the rest could just disappear
And I wouldn't even care,
As long as you're there...
As long as you're there..." Sunshine belts out the last note and the crowds is on their feet cheering before she's even done. Once the song ends, the Trouble Tones bows and exits the stage. Will throws down the challenge flag almost immediately, as Holly walks back on stage.
"Will has thrown down the challenge flag, are you sure you want to do this." Holly said.
"Yes." Mr. Schue said.
"Shelby and Sue, do you accept the challenge?" Holly asks.
"I have to talk with my team." Shelby says.
"But know if you declined, then you automatically lose." Holly said.
"Understood." Shelby and Sue walks backstage and says,
"So, what do you guys think?" Shelby asks.
"We have no choice in the matter, if we say no we lose. They have something up their sleeves, why else will they throw the flag when they have clearly been beaten?" Rachel said.
"It's Will! He has always been sneaky!" Sue shouts.
"I think I know what they are going to do... They are going to make Mercedes battle Rachel. Mercedes will sing 'And I'm telling you' because she kills that song. For Rachel I'm thinking 'Don't Rain on My Parade." Brittany says and as her team looks at her with amazement.
"Brittany that is a great observation. If they were smart, that's what they will do." Santana said.
"I need an answer?" Holly shouts at Shelby's team.
"Yes, we accept." Shelby says from backstage.
"Captains and coaches on stage, please." Once we all were on stage, Holly continued.
"Will and Finn have you decided who will battle for you?" Holly asked.
"Yes, we choose Mercedes." Mr. Schue said with a smirk.
"Okay, Rachel, Santana, and Shelby have you chosen?" Holly asks.
"Yes, we choose Rachel." Shelby announced and Brittany smiles, getting it correct.
"Wait, you can't choose captains." Mr. Schue says, outraged.
"There is nothing in the rules that says otherwise, but in the face of being fair, can you guys pick another singer?" Holly asks Shelby.
"Sure, we choose Sunshine." Shelby says.
"You can't, she already sung." Mr. Schue outburst again.
"Mr. Schue..." Holly was cut off by Rachel...
"If I may say something…" Rachel asked
"Sure." Holly said.
"Since every person on my team is way better than yours, Mr. Schue, how about we leave it up to the audience, chose the person and the song?" Rachel said as the smirk gets bigger on Finn's face, thinking the crowd will only choose for the Trouble Tones.
"That's sounds good." Holly said as she turned to the crowd.
"Okay, fine." Mr. Schue agrees.
"The choices of person and song will be final." Holly told both groups.
"Understood." Rachel said while Finn and Mr. Schue remained silent.
"Okay, is everybody having a good time." Holly asks as the crowd screams.
"Glad to hear it, okay, so I need you to raise your hand to choose a member of Rachel's team and Finn's team for the sudden death battle.
"No, we already chose our person." Will says outraged.
"Sorry, but out of fairness they will choose for both of you. Since you had an objection to everyone team Rachel chose." Holly said.
"But..." Mr. Schue started but was cut off my Holly saying,
"Or you can forfeit the challenge and Rachel's team will win." Holly said.
"Okay, continue." Mr. Schue said with an angry look on his face.
"Thank you, now let's start with Rachel's team. Raise your hand for Rachel." Holly said as counted the people.
"Okay that's about 24 of you."
"Santana…20."
"Puck...15"
"Jake…7"
"Sunshine...All of you."
"Mike…0."
"Tina….0."
"Kitty…12."
"Roderick…24."
"Quinn…19."
"Brittany…18."
"Jesse…All of you."
"Okay, we have a tie between Sunshine and Jesse. Rachel, you must choose right now." Holly told Rachel.
"Can I have 2 minutes?" Rachel asked.
"30 seconds." Holly said as Rachel rushes off stage and says,
"Okay, so Jesse and Sunshine you won. I have to choose out of you two, so who wants to do it?" Rachel asked.
"Sunshine should do it. She's an amazing singer and she can bring this home for us." Jesse said.
"Sunshine?" Rachel said.
"I think Jesse would be better." Sunshine said, shaking her head.
"Are you sure?" Jesse said.
"I can't do it again." Sunshine said, looking down.
"Yes, you can I believe in you and that's why you are on my team. I need you to out sing anyone on that stage, even if it's Mercedes." Rachel told Sunshine.
"I can't." Sunshine again.
"You can, you are a just as good as I am and I have beaten Mercedes before and so can you." Rachel says.
"Rachel's time is up." Holly said.
"Sunshine, please I need you." Rachel begs.
"Okay, I'll do it." Sunshine said.
"Great, thanks." Rachel rushes back on stage.
"Rachel, I need an answer." Holly said.
"Sunshine." Rachel said proudly and the smirk was wiped off Finn's face and replaced by an angry look just like Mr. Schue.
"Okay, any song request." Most of the crowd screamed All by myself, Listen or All of me.
"Okay, so what I'm hearing is you guys want to hear: All by myself, Listen, or All of me correct?"
"Yeah." The crowed yells out.
"Okay, so raise your hand for All of me."
"5."
"Listen?"
"26."
"All by myself."
"27."
"Okay so we have for Team Rachel – Sunshine singing All by Myself. Now on to Finn's team. Raise your hand for Finn."
"27."
"Mercedes…23."
"Kurt…27."
"Sugar…29." The crowed burst out laughing but stops when Sue looks at them.
"Sam…29."
"Joseph…18."
"Nick…0"
"John…2."
"Eric…0"
"Artie…25."
"Mason…25."
"Jacob…12."
"Unique…9."
"You have 30 seconds to choose between Sugar and Sam." Holly said.
"Sam." Mr. Schue said angrily.
"Okay I need songs." The crowd yelled out Billionaire, Hello or Baby.
"Okay, so what I'm hearing is Billionaire, Hello or Baby right?"
"Yes!" The crowd yelled.
Okay, raise your hand for Hello."
"25."
"Baby."
"13."
"Billionaire."
"29."
"For Finn's team we have Sam singing Billionaire and Will since you threw down the challenge flag Will, you will get to choose who go first."
"We will." Mr. Schue said.
"Okay we have going first is Sam singing Billionare." Holly said as she walks off the stage and as Sam walks on stage and gives it his all.
{Sam}
"I wanna be a billionaire
So freakin' bad
Buy all of the things
I never had
I wanna be on the cover of
Forbes magazine
Smiling next to Oprah and the Queen
Oh, every time I close my eyes
I see my name in shinin' lights
Yeah, a different city every night
Oh I, I swear, the world better prepare
For when I'm a billionaire
Yeah, I would have a show like Oprah
I would be the host of,
Everyday Christmas
Give Artie a wish list
I'd probably pull an
Angelina and Brad Pitt
And adopt a bunch of babies
That ain't never had it
Give away a few Mercedes like
"Here lady, have this" And last but not least
Grant somebody their last wish
It's been a couple months that
I've been single so
You can call me Artie Claus
Minus the Ho Ho Ho Ha, get it?
I'd probably visit where Katrina hit
And darn sure do a lot more than FEMA did
Yeah, can't forget about me stupid
Everywhere I go
Imma have my own theme music
Oh, every time I close my eyes
I see my name in shining lights
Ahh, yeah yeah
A different city every night
Oh I, I swear, the world better prepare
For when I'm a billionaire
Oh, oooh oh oooh
When I'm a Billionaire
Oh, oooh oh oooh
I'll be playing basketball with the President
Dunking on his delegates
Then I'll compliment him
On his political etiquette
Toss a couple million in the air
Just for the heck of it
But keep the fives, twenties,
Tens and bens completely separate
Yeah, I'll be in a whole new tax bracket
We in recession
But let me take a crack at it
I'll probably take
Whatever's left and just split it up
So, everybody that
I love can have a couple bucks
And, not a single tummy around me
Would know what hungry was
Eating good,
Sleeping soundly
I know we all have a similar dream
Go in your pocket,
Pull out your wallet,
Put it in the air and sing...
I wanna be a billionaire so freakin' bad
Buy all of the things I never had
I wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine
Smiling next to Oprah and the Queen
Oh, every time I close my eyes
I see my name in shinin' lights
A different city every night
Oh I… I swear,
The world better prepare,
For when I'm a billionaire
Oh, oooh oh oooh
When I'm a Billionaire
Oh, oooh oh oooh
I wanna be a billionaire So freakin' bad"
"Thank you and now Sunshine with her song...All By Myself" Holly said leaving the stage and Sunshines on stage and sings her heart out.
{Sunshine}
"When I was young
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone
Living alone
I think of all the friends I have known
When I dial the telephone
Nobody's home
All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
Hard to be sure
Sometimes I feel so insecure
And loves so distant
And obscure Remains the cure
All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live
All by myself
Anymore
When I was young
I never needed anyone
Making love was just for fun
Those days are gone
All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live
Oh, don't wanna live
By myself, by myself Anymore
By myself Anymore…. Whoa,"
"Thank you, okay, now hold 1 finger if you vote for Sam and 2 fingers if you vote for Sunshine. Okay, hold them up." Holly asked and everyone in the audience held up 2 fingers, not one person had 1 finger up.
"The winner of the challenge is Sunshine from the Trouble Tones. Congratulations Sunshine. Shelby and Sue, you get to render 1 of the New Directions performances invalid." Holly said.
"Round 4's performance." Sue said.
"Okay, audience put a line through Finn's team performance in round 4 and pass your papers to the front and we will start counting. Now I should receive 32 pieces of paper." Once all the papers collected and counted. Ms. Holliday came back on stage with two trophies, one big and one small.
"May I have both teams and their couches on stage, please?" Holly said as everyone got on stage. Finn's team to the left and Rachel's team to the right.
"Okay here are the results. Round 1 - winner is… The Trouble Tones. Round 2 winner is… The Trouble Tones. Round 3 winner is… The Trouble and The Trouble Tones wins Round 4 by default. So, the winner of The Battle of the Glee Clubs 2017 is The Trouble Tones." Holly says as the crowd went crazy, Rachel and her entire team screamed and jumped up and down. Shelby grabbed the first-place trophy and extended her hand to Will, who ignored it and walked off the stage.
Shelby just smiled and shook her head. They had won and proved they were the better team. Plus, Rachel proved what she knew to be true and to the entire school that without her and her team signing for Mr. Schue that wouldn't have won 3 national titles. Rachel sees Finn yelling at Kurt and his team while Mr. Schue does nothing at all. As usual. Kurt looks over at Rachel and smiles. As everyone was leaving, Shelby and Sue looked at each other and said,
"We did it. Our first trophy as co-coaches. There is more to come, I'm sure of it."
"Damn straight." They walk off to the choir room where Mr. Schue was talking to his team.
"GET OUT!" Mr. Schue shouted.
"No! You know the rules, we won, this is officially our room. As we, our team is only Glee Club at this school! You and your team are disbanded." Santana said.
"WE ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE!" Finn yelled.
"I thought you might say that...Boys go ahead. They are trespassing in a room that belongs to the Trouble Tones glee club." Shelby said as five strong security guards came in and escorted them out. Finn had to be dragged out, as he had the nerve to try to fight the men. That didn't last long.
"THIS ISN'T OVER BITCH!" Finn shouted at Rachel, in which she ignored.
"Okay, congratulations on our first completion, we will win many more. Now your captain, Rachel, would like to say something."
"We did it guys, we proved without a shadow of a doubt who the better team is and I am so proud of all you, Santana and I both are. You all did an amazing job; Santana and I came up with this idea that after each competition we will award the MVP and that person automatically gets put in the running for solo in the next competition. So, the first ever MVP award goes to Sunshine for leading us in our group 2 performance and winning the battle against Sam. She proved that with talent and hard work, you can achieve anything. Nerves melted away and she sang her heart out, Santana and I couldn't be prouder to have her apart from my team. Sunshine, please come here." Rachel said and Sunshine got up and walked over to Rachel.
"I…" Sunshine beings but her voice breaks and Rachel pulls her into a tight hug.
"You are amazing and gifted. Never let anyone tell you different. You've earned this, take your trophy and stand proud, okay." Rachel said and Sunshine nodded her head to the trophy out of Rachel's hands and stood before the club and spoke.
"Thank you so much everyone, seriously you have no idea what this means to me. I never won anything that was voted on by my peers and just want you all to know that I appreciate and love you all." Sunshine said and everyone joined in a group hug, including Sue.
"Okay, next week on Monday, we start preparing for sectionals. For now, go home and be proud of what you did here today." Shelby says as everyone leaves. Rachel heads to her locker with Santana and Puck. Rachel opens the locker door and a slushy release and hit Rachel in the face, with a note on her mirror that read,
"THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING BITCH!" Santana and Puck pissed off, already knowing that it was Finn, they took off storming down the halls looking for him. While Rachel went to the restroom and washed the slushy off of her. When Santana and Puck found him, all they could see is RED! Now that they found him, they couldn't be held responsible for what was about to happen, right?
