-Ch. 22-Sectionals part 1-
-Rachel pov-
We have come into the competition prepared for this. We are facing the Warblers and the Hispters. The only shock we have faced was Kurt going to the warblers. We understand though with the bullying he started getting.
The New Directions final members were vicious. I have had my girls and Mercedes has Tina's back. They know not to mess with any of the cheerios as well. So that left Kurt alone when we could not protect him.
We tried but he said it would be for the better. I have missed having my friend at school with us. It just does not feel the same without him. But I know that it is for the better he is over there.

[THE HIPSTERS]
Every generation
Blames the one before
And all of their frustrations
Come beating on your door
I know that I'm a prisoner
To all my Father held so dear
I know that I'm a hostage
To all his hopes and fears
I just wish I could have told him
In the living years
Crumpled bits of paper
Filled with imperfect thought
Stilted conversations
I'm afraid that's all we've got
You say you just don't see it
He says it's perfect sense
You just can't get agreement
In this present tense
We all talk a different language
Talking in defence
Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye
So we open up a quarrel
Between the present and the past
We only sacrifice the future
It's the bitterness that lasts
So don't yield to the fortunes
You sometimes see as fate
It may have a new perspective
On a different day
And if you don't give up, and don't give in
You may just be OK
Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye
I wasn't there that morning
When my Father passed away
I didn't get to tell him
All the things I had to say
I think I caught his spirit
Later that same year
I'm sure I heard his echo
In my baby's new born tears
I just wish I could have told him
In the living years
Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye
We all applaud even though it was not the best. The warblers are going to be our biggest threat. I feel my throat dry up some so I go for a drink. I get to a fountain when I see Finn.
"Uh hey" I ignore him and start drinking from it "Look..you do not have to ignore me Rachel"
"You bullied my friend and your stepbrother out of the school!" I glare at him "You are the worst person ever! Of course I will ignore you!"
"I can not believe I thought I could get through to your dumb dyke mind" Finn scoffs and starts walking away "You are nothing but a puppet on their string and you will see! You will all see that they do not care!"
"You all will see they love me for me" I sigh and walk back to my seat "I at least get to hear one of the warblers songs today"

[BLAINE with THE WARBLERS vocalizing (THE WARBLERS)]
He-ey, he-e-e-e-ey, he-e-e-e-ey (Tonight)
(He-ey) He-ey
(He-ey) He-e-e-e-ey
(He-e-e-e-ey) He-e-e-e-ey
Your lipstick stains
On the front lobe of my left side brains
I knew I wouldn't forget you
And so I went and let you blow my mind (Let you blow my mind)
Your sweet moonbeam (Sweet moonbeam)
The smell of you in every single dream I dream
I knew when we collided
You're the one I have decided who's one of my kind (One of my kind)
Hey, soul sister
Ain't that mister, mister on the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair, you know
Hey, soul sister
I don't want to miss a single thing you do
Tonight
(He-ey) He-ey
(He-ey) He-e-e-e-ey
(He-e-e-e-ey) He-e-e-e-ey
Just in time
I'm so glad you have a one-track mind like me
You gave my life direction
A game show love connection we can't deny
I'm so obsessed (I'm so obsessed)
My heart is bound to beat right out my untrimmed chest
I believe in you, like a virgin, you're Madonna
And I'm always gonna want to blow your mind
Hey, soul sister
Ain't that mister, mister on the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair, you know
Hey, soul sister
I don't want to miss a single thing you do
Tonight
The way you can cut a rug
Watching you's the only drug I need
So gangster, I'm so thug
You're the only one I'm dreaming of, you see
I can be myself now, finally
In fact there's nothing I can't be (Nothing I can't be)
I want the world to see you be with me
Hey, soul sister
Ain't that mister, mister on the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair, you know
Hey, soul sister (Hey, soul sister)
I don't want to miss a single thing you do
Tonight
Hey, soul sister (Hey, soul sister)
I don't want to miss a single thing you do
Tonight
(He-ey) He-ey
(He-ey) He-e-e-e-ey
(He-e-e-e-ey) He-e-e-e-ey
Tonight
(He-ey) He-ey
(He-ey) He-e-e-e-ey
(He-e-e-e-ey) He-e-e-e-ey
Tonight
We applaud and cheer as they take their bows. Now it is time for us to go. We go from our seats to the green room. We get changed and move to backstage.
Fran and Quinn are up first. I give them both a kiss and they head out. I really hope they can pull this off. I think they are our best shot next to Santana.
(Lyrics from genius)
[FRAN]
Do you hear me?
I'm talking to you
Across the water
Across the deep, blue ocean
Under the open sky
Oh my
Baby I'm trying
[QUINN]
Boy I hear you
In my dreams
I feel you whisper
Across the sea
I keep you with me
In my heart
You make it easier
When life gets hard
[QUINN & FRAN]
Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ooh ooh ooh
[QUINN & (FRAN)]
They don't know how long it takes (They don't know how long it takes)
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye (Every time we say goodbye)
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you
I promise you
I will
I, I, I!
[QUINN & FRAN]
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday
[FRAN & QUINN]
And so I'm sailing
Through the sea
(To an island where we'll meet)
You'll hear the music
Fill the air'
I'll put a (flower)
In your hair
[QUINN]
Though the breezes
Through the trees
Move so pretty
You're all I see
As the world keeps
Spinning 'round
You hold me
Right here, right now
[QUINN & FRAN]
Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh
The audience applauds and I smile happily. We all run out to the stage as the music begins. Time to back up Santana on her solo. She seems calm but I can tell she is nervous.
I know she will do great though.

[SANTANA, TROUBLE TONES]
Well, sometimes I go out by myself
And I look across the water (Uh, uh, uh, uh-uh, uh, uh, uh, uh-uh)
And I think of all the things, what you're doin'
And in my head I paint a picture (Uh, uh, uh, uh-uh, uh, uh, uh, uh-uh)
'Cause since I've come on home (Aaahh, aahh)
Well, my body's been a mess (Aaahh, aahh)
And I've missed your ginger hair (Aaahh, aahh)
And the way you like to dress
[SANTANA & TROUBLE TONES]

[SANTANA, TROUBLE FONES]
Did you have to go to jail
Put your house on up for sale

hope you didn't catch a tan (Uh, uh, uh, uh-uh, uh, uh, uh, uh-uh)
I hope you find the right man who'll fix it for you (Who'll fix it for you)
Now are you shopping anywhere (Uh, uh, uh, uh-uh, uh, uh, uh, uh-uh)
Changed the color of your hair (Uh, uh, uh, uh-uh, uh, uh, uh, uh-uh)
And are you busy? (Uh, uh, uh, uh-uh, uh, uh, uh, uh-uh) (Are you busy?)
And did you have to pay that fine (Uh, uh, uh, uh-uh, uh, uh, uh, uh-uh)
That you were dodging all the time (Uh, uh, uh, uh-uh, uh, uh, uh, uh-uh)
Are you still dizzy-y-y? (Are you still dizzy, dizzy, dizzy?)
[SANTANA]

The crowd loses it like they did with the warblers. This will be a close one. We tried our best and now it is up to the judges. I can only hope we win and move on.
New York depends on it.
