-Chapter 21-
-Rachel pov-
"What do you mean this is happening now?!" I look at my mom shocked while someone is hyperventilating behind me "We had to sectionals!"
"Will pushed it onto my desk while I am principal for today" Sue looks at me and shrugs "I figured you all could put them in their place and get practice for sectionals! It is a win-win! You get them eliminated which forces another team to come in!"
"That team would not have a lot of time to practice" Sue nods and mom looks at me "That could put us at a one on one fight"
"Ok we all have lost our minds!" I look at the club to see them all looking in agreement to the previous statements "Oh my god! You all are on board with this!"
"Think about it Rach" I glare at Kurt who just rolls his eyes "We could be insured regionals! That means another shot at you for solo! Would you not take that?"
"That is low" He smirks and I let out a frustrated sigh "FINE! Tell them to get ready and we will get a song ready! We need impartial judges too! So Maribel you go pick them!"
"Glad you could see it Sues way" I glare and sue just chuckles "You remind me of me spitfire"
"Better than Streisand" I sigh and nod at Mercedes comment "Now let's get a bomb ass song picked!"
-Time skip-
The judges are a lunch lady, Some janitor, and...we have an assistant principal?
"These are the judges!" Maribel looks at them and sighs "What are your names again?"
"I am Haley" The lunch lady points to the other two "That is Daryl and the other one is the assistant principal Beth! You know the one who should have been principal this week!"
"Yeah yeah" Sue taps the microphone in her hand "Up first...The Nude Erections!"
Wow why did I ever stay with that team name?

[DAVE]
Ooh huh, hoo..ooh
[FINN]
I'm gonna make a change
For once in my life
[DAVE & 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
[DAVE & SAM]
I see the kids in the street
[SAM]
(With not enough to eat)
[DAVE & SAM]
Who am I, to be blind?
Pretending not to see their needs
[SAM (with DAVE and FINN)]
A summer's disre(gard)
A broken bottle (top)
And one man's soul
[DAVE (with SAM)]
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
[DAVE with NEW DIRECTIONS]
Nanana nanana nananana
[DAVE]
Oh oh...
[SAM (with DAVE)]
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?)
[FINN (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
[DAVE with SAM 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
The judges clap some and write somethings down. The new directions walk off stage and now it is us. I walk out with the club after our introduction. This is whether or not we stay a club.
I look at all of the family I have made the past month. The cheerios and gleeks became one. We have never been so close to peace in the school. If we fail here then it was all for nothing.
I can not let it be all for nothing.

[TINA]
Oh hey, oh, yeah, baby
Like a foo,l I went and stayed too long
Now I'm wondering if your love's still strong
[RACHEL with TROUBLE TONES]
Ooh, baby, here I am

Mmm, then that time I went and said goodbye
Now I'm back and not ashamed to cry

[RACH with TROUBLE TONES vocalizing]
I've done a lot of foolish things
That I really didn't mean
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, didn't I? Oh, baby
Seen a lot of things in this old world
When I touch them, they mean nothing, girl
[SANATANA with NEW DIRECTIONS]
Ooh, baby, here I am

I'm (Yours)
"We will now let the judges discuss" Sue turns off the Mic "Just do not take forever! I want this done!"
The judges talk for a few minutes. I can see them showing notes and a lot of nodding. They seem to reach a verdict and then discuss everything again. I look at the New directions and see them all frowning.
They do not look like they care. I look at our club and everyone looks nervous. We all have something at stake here. This is what a family is like.
We care that we could be separated right now. We care that three random people hold our clubs fate. We care because we care about each other. We care that this could have been our last performance.
"Hey Rachel" I turn toward Finn who is smirking "When we win maybe you could take a trip on the winner train!"
"I will never join that club again" I see confusion on his face which is not knew "This club here is my family! Win or lose that is what they are! I would rather lose New York than be with you all again!"
"We have a decision!" We all turn toward...Haley! "We decided that..the winner is..TROUBLE TONES! You all proved you wanted to be here and stay as our glee club representatives!"
"That is bullshit!" Will holds up the paper I signed "This is not void until sectionals!"
"Actually it is void" Sue smirks and holds up a copy "Figgins had me do it! I put in that it applied to ANY competition"
Wills face falls as we celebrate. We get to keep the club going! We are going to be fine after sectionals! We have nothing to worry about anymore!
Everything is finally looking up for me!
