-Chapter-66-

-Shelby pov-

I gave the kids a week to come up with their song choices. The theme is old school. I just hope they all chose appropriate stuff. Currently...well currently I have my door locked and blinds covered. I have all of sues stupid cameras blocked too.

I needed to destress and as much as I love to annoy Judy when she does it...stripping down and being free helps sometimes. Just being free of everything and thinking. It's a simple and easy thing to do.

My mind is just zooming around right now. It just won't settle down at all. Everything just comes up and never leaves. I really want to win.

I know there's more to it than winning but...if I could win then I'd have leverage. That leverage could help in New York for a nice job. Nice job means a nice home for us.

"You really think I don't have a key?" I jump and duck behind my desk as Sue turns on the light "Hows the loser tones getting along?"

"Good" I find my shirt and put it on "How are you?"

"Disturbed I just saw you naked" I frown and look at the desk "Oh don't give that pout"

"I'm sorry not everyone thinks they are as good as you do" I sigh and cover lower half "Can you turn while I get my pants?"

She rolls her eyes but turns "You know I've already seen it all" I don't give it a response "You shouldn't be worried about New York"

"How do you know I'm worried?" I slide my clothes on "I'm dressed"

"Because you all will do fine" Sue turns toward me "You all will have everything under control! Why do you think I pushed for those girls to get Amelia?"

I don't get to respond cause she's quickly gone. I sigh and stare at the door she walked out. She's not wrong. I think we will be fine.

-Time skip-

"EVERYONE LOOK UP HERE!" I wait till I have the whole clubs attention "We are closer to the end of the year...my family and I will go to New York..I don't wanna leave with a loss but I don't care if we win either! I want all of you to have the best time ever ok? So let's give it up for our performers!"

Everyone cheers as the group, duet, and soloist walk onto stage.

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 sisters 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)

We are family

"It fits the theme and I think everyone can move to it" I give a thumbs up "Great way to stick to your guns girls!"

They all smile as the club applauds. Up next walks the duet. Tina and Sugar have been spending a lot of time during study hall working. I really hope they do a good job.

-Tina-Sugar-Both-

Listen, baby

Ain't no mountain high

Ain't no valley low

Ain't no river wide enough, baby

If you need me, call me

No matter where you are

No matter how far (don't worry, baby)

Just call my name

I'll be there in a hurry

You don't have to worry

Cause baby there

Ain't no mountain high enough

Ain't no valley low enough

Ain't no river wide enough

To keep me from getting to you, babe

Remember the day

I set you free

I told you you could always count on me, darling

From that day on, I made a vow

I'll be there when you want me

Some way, some how

Cause baby there

Ain't no mountain high enough

Ain't no valley low enough

Ain't no river wide enough

To keep me from getting to you, babe

Oh no, darling

No wind, no rain

Nor winter's cold

Can't stop me baby

No no baby

Cause you are my goal

If you're ever in trouble

I'll be there on the double

Just send for me

Oh baby!

My love is alive

Way down in my heart

Although we are miles apart

If you ever need a helping hand

I'll be there on the double

Just as fast as I can

Don't you know that there...

Ain't no mountain high enough

Ain't no valley low enough

Ain't no river wide enough

To keep me from getting to you babe

Don't you know that there...

Ain't no mountain high enough

Ain't no valley low enough

Ain't no river wide enough

Ain't no mountain high enough

Ain't no valley low enough

"That was great! You do understand the lyrics right?" The girls both nod "Can I know why you picked that then?"

"We thought it fit best with the group song and solo" Sugar points toward Kurt "Speaking of which!"

"I have a special song before my solo" I see Lucy and Santana move form their seats "For some friends of mine"

-Kurt singing-

Lying beside you

Here in the dark

Feeling your heartbeat with mine

Softly you whisper

You're so sincere

How could our love be so blind

We sailed on together

We drifted apart

And here you are

By my side

I watch the girls help Rachel up and to the front. I think I know what's going on now.

So now I come to you

With open arms

Nothing to hide

Believe what I say

So here I am

With open arms

Hoping you'll see

What your love means to me

Open arms

Lucy and Santana give Rachel flowers and then walk toward ropes...when did they rig my stage?

Living without you

Living alone

This empty house seems so cold

Wanting to hold you

Wanting you near

How much I wanted you home

I watch Rachel smile wider and wider. I look over at Judy and see her walking over with Maribel toward me. I turn and see a confused Holly.

But now that you've come back

Turned night into day

I need you to stay

As the girls pull on the ropes I'm handed a bouquet by Judy. I look at the card.

'Better late then never right?'

So now I come to you

With open arms

Nothing to hide

Believe what I say

So here I am

With open arms

Hoping you'll see

What your love means to me

Open arms

I look at the stage and see the sign.

'PROM?!'

"Better late then never" I turn and see Maribel did the same for Holly "I guess we are chaperones huh?"

"YES!" Rachel hobbles to the girls and hugs them "I need a dress now!"

"Let's get Kurts solo first" They nod and I look at Kurt "Wow me again"

He smiles and gives a nod. The music starts again and he takes a deep breath.

-Kurt singing-

There's a loving in your eyes all the way

If I listened to your lies would you say

I'm a man without conviction

I'm a man who doesn't know

How to sell a contradiction

You come and go

You come and go

Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Chameleon

You come and go

You come and go

Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dream

Red, gold and green

Red, gold and green

Didn't hear your wicked words every day

And you used to be so sweet I heard you say

That my love was an addiction

When we cling our love is strong

When you go you're gone forever

You string along

You string along

Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Chameleon

You come and go

You come and go

Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dream

Red, gold and green

Red, gold and green

Every day is like survival

You're my lover not my rival

Every day is like survival

You're my lover not my rival

I'm a man without conviction

I'm a man who doesn't know

How to sell a contradiction

You come and go

You come and go

Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Chameleon

You come and go

You come and go

Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dream

Red, gold and green

Red, gold and green

Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Chameleon

You come and go

You come and go

Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dream

Red, gold and green

Red, gold and green

Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Chameleon

You come and go

You come and go

Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dream

Red, gold and green

Red, gold and green

Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Chameleon

You come and go

You come and go

Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dream

Red, gold and green

Red, gold and green

"Well" I stand up and everyone looks at me "I think we have our winning set list!"

The club cheers and I smile. I see Sue in the doorway and give her a nod. She gives one back and walks away. Maybe she isn't as bad as I thought.

Or maybe she is just has a small heart sometimes.
