-Chapter 69- Nationals part 2-

-Lucy pov-

"Lucy...Luuuuucy!" I groan and shift in the bed "Shes..up"

"Ok" Im about to open my eyes when I thud to the ground "Shes up now!"

"That has to count as child abuse" I sit up and glare at my mom "Where's my girlfriends?"

"I believe in the shower" My smirks and starts walking away "They tried waking you up"

I watch my my walk away and then jump up. I guess I could try to squeeze in a shower. I mean as long as I get clean what's the issue? Also, EWWW! Didn't need to know my mom knows our tricks.

"Lucy last call to get in here!" I run to the bathroom "There ya are"

I roll my eyes and strip off my clothes. Time for some fun.

-Time skip-

After a nice shower it's time for breakfast. I'm absolutely starving. I grab a bunch of waffles and some bacon quickly. I walk toward a open table and sit down.

"You'd think you'd be less hungry now" my eyes go wide and I look up at my mom shocked "What? I mean you did already eat"

"MOM!" She chuckles and sits down at the table "Why are you dead set on embarrassing me?"

"It's a family tradition" I freeze at the voice "Hey Lucy"

"No way" I turn and see someone I haven't in a while "Grandma?"

"In the flesh" I'm quickly up and in her arms "I've missed you to sweetie"

"It's so great to see you!" I pull back and see my girlfriends walking over "I have to introduce you to some people!"

"You seem happy" Santana stops beside me with Rachel "Who's the old lady?"

Shit "This is my grandma" Santana's eyes go wide "Yeah"

"Uhhh y-you aren't that old" Santana cringes and goes to the table "I'm gonna sit and shut my mouth"

"I get another grandma?!" Rachel looks absolutely giddy "THIS IS AMAZING!"

"I like this one" My grandma glares at Santana "That one not so much"

"Well I hope you can grow to like both of them cause" I hold up my left hand "I'm engaged"

"Some say old is a good thing" My grandma raises a eyebrow to Santana "Means you're wise and have lived a fulfilling life"

"That didn't save you" Santana pouts and grandma looks at Rachel "I'm glad you were able to find a big girl and not just settle for bitty meany at the table"

"Who are you calling big old lady?!" And there it goes "I'm so sorry! I-I didn't mean it!"

"She's not fat grandma" I get a raised eyebrow "She's pregnant"

"Well how did that happen?" Grandma looks back at Rachel "If shes this big she was small! Who did this?!"

"Well we were on a date and then went to a part...y" I shrink back at the fire coming from my Grandmas eyes "Uhhh breakfast?"

"Breakfast and a story" Grandma walks away "Sounds fun"

I look at my mom who's got a huge smile on her face. She set me up! I'm so gonna get her back for this! I just gotta think of a way to.

-Time skip-Rachel pov-

After a awkward breakfast and some nice practice it's time. It's time for the trouble tones to win! I'm sad I'll be watching from the back though. I wanna be up there.

I guess my first New York performance will be later. I will be back here for sure though. New York is going to be mine. Next time I'll have two new babies with me.

"Alright!" We all look toward mom "It's go time! You've all come so far! Now go out there and show them what's got you here! No one believes you're walking out with that trophy! So you prove them wrong! You prove them that you can do what you want! SHOW THEM NO MERCY!"

Everyone cheers and the lights flicker. Everyone gets up and ready to go. We walk to the back as a group. It's time for them to shine.

Kurt takes a deep breath and the music starts. It's time for him to get out there and show his stuff.

-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

Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dream

Red, gold and green

The crowd erupts and Kurt comes off the stage smiling. Tina and Sugar share a nod and walk out next. They have been putting their issues behind them very well. They work as a singing duo.

-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

Once again the crowd erupts and it's great. We are first up and I hope this means we got the other scared. If we can break their concentration then that'd be great.

The whole groups gets ready and heads out. This is our grand finale. The thing that could push us over right now. They may be random Cheerios but they are good.

I think they'll nail it.

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

The crowd erupts again and the group takes a bow. They head back and we all cheer. This was absolutely amazing! This has been a a great showing for us.

"That was amazing everyone" We get into the green room and I feel all eyes on me "Come on! You have to have a song in ya you want to sing"

I smile and think of a song. I think of one and nod.

-Rachel singing-

You know the bed feels warmer

Sleeping here alone

You know I dream in colour

And do the things I want

You think you got the best of me

Think you've had the last laugh

Bet you think that everything good is gone

Think you left me broken down

Think that I'd come running back

Baby, you don't know me

'Сause you're dead wrong

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

Stand a little taller

Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

What doesn't kill you makes a fighter

Footsteps even lighter

Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger

Just me, myself and I

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

Stand a little taller

Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

You heard that I was starting over with someone new

They told you I was moving on over you

You didn't think that I'd come back

I'd come back swinging

You tried to break me, but you see

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

Stand a little taller

Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

What doesn't kill you makes a fighter

Footsteps even lighter

Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger

Just me, myself and I

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

Stand a little taller

Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

Thanks to you I got a new thing started

Thanks to you I'm not the broken-hearted

Thanks to you I'm finally thinking about me

You know in the end the day you left was just my beginning

In the end...

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

Stand a little taller

Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

What doesn't kill you makes a fighter

Footsteps even lighter

Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger

Just me, myself and I

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

Stand a little taller

Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger

Just me, myself and I

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

Stand a little taller

Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

(When I'm alone)

The group claps and we go into talking. No we have to kill time till the awards. I really think we have good chance at winning. I just hope we do.

They really deserve this win. We all really deserve a really good thing.
