-Chapter 43-Regionals part 2-

-Fran pov-

We are slowly making our way back out to the stage. Jesses team came out of nowhere. We thought we had this in the bag. Now our spirits are visibly shaken.

I hold Quinn's hand as we wait for the winner to be announced. We are only on stage with Jesses team. Apparently they have already told the other teams what they got. I give Quinn's hand a squeeze as the announcer comes up. The audience is silence when he taps the mic.

"We finally have a sudden death sing off!" The audience erupts and we all look at each other confused "The teams will have to sing one song from the judges chosen singer or band! The Singer has been chosen and it is Avril Levigne! The first ones up are the York Notes!"

We slowly make our way off the stage while they discuss their stuff. We have to have someone sing an Avril Lavigne song. We all look around and everyone shrugs. Everyone but our little miss Tina.

"No" Tina steps backwards and shakes her head "No! I am not doing a solo out there! They will eat me up! Pick Quinn! She is emo too!"

"But I have barely listened to her!" Quinn puts on a Rachel style pout "Pleeeeaaaasse! We will love you forever!"

"Damnit fine!" Quinn smirks and Tina looks at me "You are fucked"

"I know cause I did not know she could do that" Quinn gives a innocent look and I sigh "I am never getting my way again"

We all turn as music starts to play. There is a smaller girl on the stage. I see the members tense and get confused who is this girl? She kind of looks familiar.

"That is sunshine" I look at Quinn confused "We are fucked"

-Sunshine singing-

Waking up I see that everything is OK

The first time in my life and now it's so great

Slowing down I look around and I am so amazed

I think about the little things that make life great

I wouldn't change a thing about it

This is the best feeling

This innocence is brilliant

I hope that it will stay

This moment is perfect

Please don't go away

I need you now

And I'll hold on to it

Don't you let it pass you by

I found a place so safe, not a single tear

The first time in my life and now it's so clear

Feel calm, I belong, I'm so happy here

It's so strong and now I let myself be sincere

I wouldn't change a thing about it

This is the best feeling

This innocence is brilliant

I hope that it will stay

This moment is perfect

Please don't go away

I need you now

And I'll hold on to it

Don't you let it pass you by

It's a state of bliss, you think you're dreaming

It's the happiness inside that you're feeling

It's so beautiful it makes you wanna cry

It's a state of bliss, you think you're dreaming

It's the happiness inside that you're feeling

It's so beautiful it makes you wanna cry

It's so beautiful it makes you wanna cry

This innocence is brilliant

It makes you wanna cry

This innocence is brilliance

Please don't go away

'Cause I need you now

And I'll hold on to it

Don't you let it pass you by

(It's so beautiful it makes you wanna cry)

This innocence is brilliant

(It's so beautiful)

(It's so beautiful)

I hope that it will stay

This moment is perfect

Please don't go away

I need you now

(It makes me wanna cry)

And I'll hold on to it

Don't you let it pass you by

"We are fine" I look over at Tina who looks ready to pass out "You got this! You are one of the best singers we got! I believe in you all the way! NOW GO WIN THIS!"

"I got this" Tina takes a deep breath and walks toward the open stage "I got this!"

"You really think she has this?" I shake my head and Quinn sighs "This is going to be a long ride home with Rachel"

I nod as Tina tells the band what to play.

-Tina singing-

He was a boy.

She was a girl.

Can I make it anymore obvious?

He was a punk.

She did ballet.

What more can I say?

He wanted her.

She'd never tell.

Secretly she wanted him as well.

And all of her friends stuck up their nose.

They had a problem with his baggy clothes.

He was a skater boy.

She said, "See ya later, boy."

He wasn't good enough for her.

She had a pretty face but her head was up in space.

She needed to come back down to earth.

Five years from now, she sits at home feeding the baby.

She's all alone.

She turns on TV and guess who she sees?

Skater boy rockin' up MTV.

She calls up her friends.

They already know.

And they've all got tickets to see his show.

She tags along,

Stands in the crowd,

Looks up at the man that she turned down.

He was a skater boy.

She said, "See ya later, boy."

He wasn't good enough for her.

Now he's a superstar

Slammin' on his guitar

Does your pretty face see what he's worth?

He was a skater boy.

She said, "See ya later, boy."

He wasn't good enough for her.

Now he's a superstar

Slammin' on his guitar

Does your pretty face see what he's worth?

Sorry, girl, but you missed out.

Well, tough luck, that boy's mine now.

We are more than just good friends.

This is how the story ends.

Too bad that you couldn't see...

See the man that boy could be.

There is more than meets the eye,

I see the soul that is inside.

He's just a boy, and I'm just a girl.

Can I make it anymore obvious?

We are in love.

Haven't you heard how we rock each other's world?

I'm with the skater boy.

I said, "See ya later, boy."

I'll be backstage after the show.

I'll be at the studio singing the song we wrote

About a girl you used to know.

I'm with the skater boy.

I said, "See ya later, boy."

I'll be backstage after the show.

I'll be at the studio singing the song we wrote

About a girl you used to know

"WE HAVE OUR WINNER!" The announcer runs up and raises Tina's hand "The trouble tones are the winners! Here are you winners!"

We all run out and surround her. She pulled off the win for us! She was able to beat sunshine! I still have no idea who the hell she is!

We take the trophy and make our way off the stage. This is the fourth best moment of my life! I am sure it will go down the list a few more spots as my life goes on. But for now it holds its place.

"Way to go" We all turn as Jesse walks up "But next time we will beat you all and it will be no mercy"

"I taught you somethings kid" Shelby smirks and holds up the trophy "But I did not teach you how to beat me"

He huffs and storms away as we celebrate. The family joins us as we celebrate. We all are moving into nationals. We proved them right moving up here.

I kiss both of my girlfriends before we hoist Tina up. She definitely deserves a major part for Nationals. She was the reason we just won out there. That and my amazing speech I have obviously.

This is going to be so fun bringing this trophy into the new school tomorrow!
