-Rachel pov-
"Hey Rach can we talk real quick?" I nod and follow Finn off to the side "I wanted to say...Mercedes and I...thank you for giving us another chance"
"Anything for friends" He smiles and I see him look away "She is your special person huh?"
"I love her so much" He looks back to me "You know what this is like"
"Which is why the jealous sex we get later will be so much better after we sing" We both laugh and the lights flicker "It is go time Finn! You ready?"
"Always" He holds his arm out "Ready my leading lady?"
"Always"

[RACHEL & FINN]
Face-to-face and heart-to-heart
We're so close, yet so far apart
I close my eyes, I look away
That's just because I'm not okay
But I hold on, I stay strong
Wondering if we still belong
Will we ever say the words we're feeling
Reach down underneath and tear down all the walls?
Will we ever have a happy ending
Or will we forever only be pretending?
Will we a-ah, a-ah-lways, a-ah, a-ah-lways, a-ah, a-ah-lways be pretending?
How long do I fantasize
Make believe that it's still alive
Imagine that I am good enough
And we can choose the ones we love?
But I hold on, I stay strong
Wondering if we still belong
Will we ever say the words we're feeling
Reach down underneath and tear down all the walls?
Will we ever have a happy ending
Or will we forever only be pretending?
Will we a-ah, a-ah-lways, a-ah, a-ah-lways, a-ah, a-ah-lways be...
Keeping secrets safe
Every move we make
Seems like no one's left to know
And it's such a shame
'Cause if you feel the same
How am I supposed to know?
Will we ever say the words we're feeling
Reach down underneath and tear down all the walls?
(Tear down all the walls)
Will we ever have a happy ending
Or will we forever only be pretending?
(Only be pretending)
Will we a-ah, a-ah-lways, a-ah, a-ah-lways, a-ah, a-ah-lways be...
(Pretending, pretending...)
Will we a-ah, a-ah-lways, a-ah, a-ah-lways, a-ah, a-ah-lways be...
(Pretending, pretending...)
Will we a-ah, a-ah-lways, a-ah, a-ah-lways, a-ah, a-ah-lways be pretending?
We finish with a head nod to each other. Our love story is over and has been for a while now. He has Mercedes and I have my lovely ladies. Speaking of which they are coming out now with the club!

[SANTANA]
Hey-hey-hey you and me keep on dancin' in the dark
It's been tearin' me apart, never knowin' what we are
Hey-hey-hey you and me keep on tryin' to play it cool
Now it's time to make a move, and that's what I'm gonna do
[ARTIE & (BRITTANY)]
Lay it all down, all down (Got somethin' to say)
Lay it all down, all down (Throw your doubt away)
Do or die now, die now (Step onto the plate)
Blow the door wide open like up, up and away
[TROUBLE TONES]
Let's light up the world toni-i-ight
You gotta give up the bark and bi-i-ite
I know that we got the love alri-i-ight
Come on and li-li-light it up, light it up tonight
Let's light up the world toni-i-ight
You gotta give up the bark and bi-i-ite
I know that we got the love alri-i-ight
Come on and li-li-light it up, light it up tonight
[FINN]
Hey-hey-hey you and me, turn it up ten thousand watts
Tell me why we gotta stop, I just want to let it rock
[TINA & ARTIE]
Hey-hey-hey you and me keep on tearin' at the road
Like we don't know where to go, step back, let me take control
[ARTIE & (BRITTANY)]
Lay it all down, all down (Got somethin' to say)
Lay it all down, all down (Throw your doubt away)
Do or die now, die now (Step onto the plate)
Blow the door wide open like up, up and away
[TROUBLE TONES]
Let's light up the world toni-i-ight
You gotta give up the bark and bi-i-ite
I know that we got the love alri-i-ight
Come on and li-li-light it up, light it up tonight
Let's light up the world toni-i-ight
You gotta give up the bark and bi-i-ite
I know that we got the love alri-i-ight
Come on and li-li-light it up, light it up tonight
Hey-hey-hey you
Hey-hey-hey you
Hey-hey-hey you
Hey-hey-hey you, you, you...
[RACHEL]
Lay it all down, all down (Got somethin' to say)
Lay it all down, all down (Throw your doubt away)
Do or die now, die now (Step onto the plate)
Blow the door wide open like up, up and away
[TROUBLE TONES & (RACHEL)]
Let's light up the world toni-i-ight (Yeah...)
You gotta give up the bark and bi-i-ite
I know that we got the love alri-i-ight
Come on and li-li-light it up, light it up tonight (Li-li-light it up!)
Let's light up the world toni-i-ight
You gotta give up the bark and bi-i-ite
I know that we got the love alri-i-ight (Ohhh!)
Come on and li-li-light it up, light it up tonight
Let's light up the world toni-i-ight (Tonight...)
You gotta give up the bark and bi-i-ite
I know that we got the love alri-i-ight (We got the love!)
Come on and li-li-light it up, light it up tonight
The crowd loses it like they did for vocal adrenaline. We all are so happy that we got the reaction. Everything is just kind of taking over. So when what happens next happens...there was no stopping it.
Everything moves in slow motion honestly. One minute I am at the center and the next I am pushed back some. Lips are on mine and my eyes are shot open wide. Finn and some guys have moved in front to block the view to the judges a little.
"What the hell was that?!" I look at Fran confused when we get backstage "You can not just kiss on stage like that!"
"It will not cost us anything Rachel" She puts a hand on my shoulder "It is all fine!"
"It best be" I shrug her hand off and poke her chest hard "Cause I was afraid of ruining this all and now it falls on me if we lose"
I walk away and to the green room. The results will be up before too long. When those come up then we will see. But I already know what is going to end up our result for the end.
-Time skip-Fran pov-
"Shit" I look at the big 12 sitting next to our name "God I messed this up"
"Actually no you did not" We all turn toward Jesse as he walks over "Apparently there was something going on with the people behind the scenes! Vocal Adrenaline is going for a record and they want to make sure that they are able to achieve it"
"So the kiss was not it?" Jesse shakes his head and I let out a relieved breath "Thank god! Rach did you hear that? Rach? Where is Rachel at? Has anyone seen her?"
"This was supposed to be our year" we all walk over to Rachel looking at the award ceremony "This is my state...my home and my dream"
"There is next year and this is still your state baby" I put my arm around her shoulders and Lucy does the same "We all have nothing to be disappointed in"
"This year has been long and hard" We all look at Shelby "I am proud of all of you! Yeah some of us had bad times but look at you all now! You all have become a little family and it is so great! We did not win this year but next year...next year we got this! Now! Who is ready to go celebrate?"
Everyone cheers and we head out of the building. It has been a long year for sure. We have had some good and bad. But I would not trade anything for the world.
I have everything I could ever want now. Life has gotten better for all of us. Next year may be our year for glee sure. But this year was our year for love.
I give my girls a kiss each as we walk out the door. This has been a long and great journey. I have no idea what waits for us but I know we will get through it. We can get through it together.
Because why just be one when we can be together!
