-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.
