-Chapter 84-Regionals part 1-
-Maribel pov-
So it's been 6 days since the hospital and I still haven't talked to my daughter about the braces. Shelby has come home and so has Alex though. It's been nice having everyone back. It's been a nice little reunion.
Now we just have to deal with all of this though. Shelby is wheelchair bound and...well she's struggling. She just keep doing things then getting upset. I can't blame her though.
Being in my chair hasn't been fun. Yesterday was my first day walking around and I'm sore today. My therapist isn't too happy. Once again blame him either.
So now we have three wheel chaired people taking up space in the green room. We are the first ones that have to sing in the competition. There's two groups I've never heard of before.
Some Aural Intensity and the Golden Goblets. What great names those are. I just hope we are prepared enough to win. Our light flashes and the students get up.
"Everyone get your game faces on!" Shelby wheels toward the door "It's show Time!"
Everyone follows her out to backstage. Rachel steps up and takes a deep breath. Soon the music starts and she walks out.
-Rachel singing-
Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you go on
Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go 'til we're gone
Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold to
In my life we'll always go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
You're here, there's nothing I fear
And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
There's a pause in the crowd before they applaud. Rachel smiles and walks off to us. Jeff and Nick walk out next holding hands. They'll kill it.

Now I've had the time of my life
No, I never felt like this before
Yes, I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
Cause I've had the time of my life
And I owe it all to you
I've been waiting for so long
Now I've finally found someone to stand by me
We saw the writing on the wall
As we felt this magical fantasy
Now with passion in our eyes
There's no way we could disguise it secretly
So we take each other's hand
Cause we seem to understand the urgency
Just remember
You're the one thing
I can't get enough of
So I'll tell you something
This could be love
Because
I've had the time of my life
No, I never felt like this before
Yes, I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
Hey, baby
With my body and soul
I want you more than you'll ever know
So we'll just let it go
Don't be afraid to lose control
No
Yes, I know what's on your mind
When you say
Stay with me tonight
(Stay with me)
I've had the time of my life
No, I never felt like this before
Yes, I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
Cause I had the time of my life
And I've searched through every open door
Till I found the truth
And I owe it all to you
Now I've had the time of my life
No, I never felt like this before
(Never felt this way)
Yes, I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
I've had the time of my life
No, I never felt this way before
(Never felt this way)
Yes, I swear it's the truth
(It's the truth)
And I owe it all to you
Cause I had the time of my life
(The time of my life)
And I've searched through every open door
Till I found the truth
And I owe it all to you
The crowd quickly erupts this time and I feel all the pressure falling off of me. We can win this! I can keep my job! All the kids run out and music starts.
-Blaine-Angela-All-
We are family
I got all my sisters with me
We are family
Get up everybody and sing
We are family
I got all my Brothers with me
We are family
Get up everybody and sing
Everyone can see we're together
As we walk on by
(And) and we fly just like birds of a feather
I won't tell no lie
(All) all of the people around us they say
Can they be that close
Just let me state for the record
We're giving love in a family dose
We are family (Hey, y'all)
I got all my sisters with me
We are family
Get up everybody and sing (sing it to me)
We are family
I got all my sisters with me
We are family
Get up everybody and sing
Living life is fun and we've just begun
To get our share of this world's delights
(High) high hopes we have for the future
And our goal's in sight
(We) no, we don't get depressed
Here's what we call our golden rule
Have faith in you and the things you do
You won't go wrong, oh no
This is our family jewel
We are family (hey, sing it to me)
I got all my sisters with me
We are family (oh, I can hear you now)
Get up everybody and sing
We are family
I got all my sisters with me
We are family (get up, get up y'all)
Get up everybody and sing
We are family (I got all my sisters with me)
I got all my sisters with me
We are family
Get up everybody and sing (Get up and sing it to me)
The crowd applauds as the club bows. I smile and clap along with them. They sounded really good! They come off the stage as a group comes in.
They exchange pleasantries and the club walks past. One of their guys walks out onto the stage. We all watch as he takes a deep breath. Then fear slowly seeps in.
-Guy singing-
And now, the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I traveled each and every highway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way
Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall and did it my way
I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now, as tears subside
I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way
Oh, no, oh, no, not me, I did it my way
For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows
I took the blows
And did it my way
Yes, it was my way
The crowd erupts into a bunch of applause and cheers. If they all sound as good as him we are fucked! Like there is no way we can actually win against them. No chance at all!
"They can't be that good" We all nod still scared at the solo let's see their duo "Watch! They won't be that good! None of the crowd will clap and we'll steal it away from them!"
-Guy-Girl-Both-
Dancin' in the dark
Middle of the night
Takin' your heart
And holdin' it tight
Emotional touch
Touchin' my skin
And askin' you to do
What you've been doin' all over again
Oh, it's a beautiful thing
Don't think I can keep it all in
I just gotta let you know
What it is that won't let me go
It's your love
It just does somethin' to me
It sends a shock right through me
I can't get enough
And if you wonder
About the spell I'm under
It's your love
Better than I was
More than I am
And all of this happened
By takin' your hand
And who I am now
Is who I wanted to be
And now that we're together
I'm stronger than ever
I'm happy and free
Oh, it's a beautiful thing
Don't think I can keep it all in, no
And if you asked me why I changed
All I gotta do is say your sweet name
It's your love
It just does somethin' to me
It sends a shock right through me
I can't get enough
And if you wonder
About the spell I'm under
It's your love
Oh, baby
Oh, it's a beautiful thing
Don't think I can keep it all in
I just gotta let you know
What it is that won't let me go
It's your love
It just does somethin' to me
It sends a shock right through me
I can't get enough
And if you wonder
About the spell I'm under
It's your love
It's your love
It's your love
We all glare at Santana who throws her hands up "I know!" She sighs "We are fucked"
We all walk back to the room as the group starts to sing all in harmony.
-Group singing-
Oh oh oh oh oh
Yeah
You have so many relationships in this life
Only one or two will last
You go through all the pain and strife
Then you turn your back and they're gone so fast
Oh yeah
And they're gone so fast, yeah

In the end they'll be the only ones there
