-Chapter 85- Regionals part 2-
-Rachel pov-
Everyone is down in the dumps. The other group was great and the Golden team are doing decently. Everyone looks like they have given up. I sigh and walk outside of the room.
I stand and watch from the door. Their dance is great. We wasted too much time. We screwed everything up. We screwed over ourselves.
But everything was worth it. We all got better lives out of everything. We all got a chance to be better people out of this. I got a better view point on life now.
"You gonna be ok?" I turn and see my mom wheeling over "You seem upset"
"Just thinking" I smile and look back at the competition "I'm honestly better than ever"
"Maybe you can pass that onto them" I turn back to my mom who has a small smile on her face "They could use a pick me up"
I nod and we head back to the room "Can I have everyone's attention?" The blazers all slowly look at me "I know...I know we came to win! We all wanted to win and go to New York right? But aren't you proud?! Aren't you proud about us getting this far? No one thought the orphans, prep school boys, and the suicide girl with her friends would make it here! We beat the odds! So what if we don't lose! Honestly I'm just happy to have sang with all of you for a possible last time! You're all my family and I love every single one of you! But we are going out there with our head held high ok?"
"She's right" Blaine stands up and walks to beside me "We've been doubted by many different people...some of us have been through hell and high water! But together we've made it this far...together we will win or together will we lose"
"Together we will sing the blues" There's laughter as Lucy walks towards "Let's just live on and on and on"
The lights flash and we all head out to the stage. We file out as a group holding hands. We get on the stage and look out to the crowd. They all seem pleasantly entertained.
"Tonight we had some amazing competition huh?!" The crowd cheers and the judge holds up his card "I have the winners right here! In third place is...Golden Goblets!..is this correct?..it seems there is a tie for first!"
"NO!" The soloist from Aural steps forward "We deserve first!"
"Why don't we compete for it?" It goes silent and Blaine steps forward "One group song against your group song"
"I like it!" The judge smiles "I'll flip a coin!"
The judge gets a coin and asks for sides. The coin flips and lands on tails. Aural calls first and we step off stage. I see someone move across the stage and freeze.
"They are secretly being taught by Will" Everyone looks over and I hear some growls "I don't think they know we know"
I see mom wheel away with her phone. I can't focus on that though. Gotta focus on how they sound and do. Gotta think of a good song. What could we do?
-Guy-Group-
This here's a jam for all the fellas
Trying to do what those ladies tell us
Get shot down 'cause ya over-zealous
Play hard to get females get jealous
Okay smarty
Go to a party
Girls are scantily clad and showing body
A chick walks by you wish you could sex her
But you're standing on the wall like you was Poindexter
Next day's function
High class luncheon
Food is served, and you're stone-cold munching
Music comes on people start to dance
But then you ate so much you nearly split your pants
A girl starts walking
Guys start gawking
Sits down next to you and starts talking
Says she wants to dance 'cause she likes to groove
So come on fatso and just bust a move
Just bust a move
You're on a mission and you're wishing
Someone could cure your lonely condition
Looking for love in all the wrong places
No fine girls just ugly faces
From frustration
First inclination
Is to become a monk and leave the situation
But every dark tunnel has a light of hope
So don't hang yourself with a celibate rope
Now movie's showing,
So you're going
Could care less about the five you're blowing
Theater gets dark just to start the show
Then ya spot a fine woman sitting in your row
She's dressed in yellow,
She says "Hello.
Come sit next to me you fine fellow."
You run over there without a second to lose
And what comes next, hey bust a move
If you want it, you got it
If you want it, baby, you got it
(Just bust a move)
If you want it, you got it
If you want it, baby, you got it
In this city
Ladies look pretty
Guys tell jokes so they can seem witty
Tell a funny joke just to get some play
Then you try to make a move and she says, "No way."
Girls are faking
Goodness saking
They want a man who brings home the bacon
Got no money and you got no car
Then you got no woman and there you are
Some girls are sadistic,
Materialistic
Looking for a man makes them opportunistic
They're lying on a beach perpetrating a tan
So that a brother with the money can be their man
So on the beach you're strolling
Real high rolling
Everything you have is yours and not stolen
A girl runs up with something to prove
So don't just stand there, bust a move
If you want it, you got it
You want it, baby, you got it
(Just bust a move)
If you want it, you got it
You want it, baby, you got it
(break it down for me fellas)
Your best friend Harry
Has a brother Larry
In five days from now he's gonna marry
He's hoping you can make it there if you can
'Cause in the ceremony you'll be the best man
You say, "Neat-o,"
Check your libido
And roll to the church in your new tuxedo
The bride walks down just to start the wedding
And there's one more girl you won't be getting
So you start thinking
Then you start blinking
A bridesmaid looks and thinks that you're winking
She thinks you're kinda cute so she winks back
And now you're feeling really firm 'cause the girl is stacked
Reception's jumping
Bass is pumping
Look at the girl and your heart starts thumping
Says she wanna dance to a different groove
Now you know what to do G bust a move
If you want it, you got it
If you want it, baby, you got it
(Just bust a move)
If you want it, you got it
You want it, baby you got it
(Move it, boy)
The crowd claps and we need a song "You know what we are gonna sing?" I look at Blaine "It's easy Rach"
"Follow me" I turn toward everyone "Let's give them a show 'win or lose'"
I tell the band as we head out what we are singing.
-Blaine-Rachel-Dotty, Angela, and Cherry-Group-
Just a small-town girl
Livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere
Just a city boy
Born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train goin' anywhere
A singer in a smokey room
The smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on, and on, and on
Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlights people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin' somewhere in the night
Workin' hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on, and on, and on
Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlights people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin' somewhere in the night
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlight people
Don't stop believin'
Hold on
Streetlight people
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlight people
The crowd erupts and the other club walks up. The judge holds out the first place trophy. The guy walks toward it but he hands it to us...WE WON! The moment is short lived as police run on stage.
"WILLIAM SHUESTER! You are under arrest for breaking restraining orders" They pull will by his wrists off the stage "Based on your record you know your rights"
"What did I miss?" I turn toward mom as she wheels up "Who won?"
"We did" I hold up the trophy and the applause goes again "We are going to New York!"
I'm going where I belong!
