Time to get ready for the party

Slowly Tina made her way to the gym. The girls had decided to have a party in school to celebrate the win. Quinn had used her powers of persuasion on principal Figgins and gotten permission to have a party. Lauren and Artie had gotten in touch with the rest of the AV club to get the music and lights up. Santana an Brittany had left to get the supplies they had ready for the inevitable Cheerios party after they had won their regionals.

When Tina finally reached the gym she saw Rachel and Mercedes put up some banners they had made just in case the McKinley team would win. Tina smiled, everyone was still in costume and having so much fun. "He guys, it looks great, but outside they are getting ready for the ceremony, come on!" The group came just in time to see the referee hand the trophy to a beaming Finn. When he saw the girls he waved them over, the girls just waved back. Then Sam, Puck and Mike ran over to get Tina, Rachel, Mercedes and Lauren: "He, you played the first half, come on, you deserve this." And while the audience applauded the girls joined the football team.

Coach Beste couldn't be prouder of her team. In the end they had come together and played their best game. "Well done coach!" Will slapped her on her shoulder. "Thanks Will, but we couldn't have done it without your help and the girls." Shannon said.

"Don't mention it. I just hope this will stop the animosity." Mr. Shue said, watching the jumping crowd.

"Well, here's to hoping." Shannon said. "I'd better get the guys in the showers. I hear there is a little party in the gym to celebrate."

"I heard so too." Shue laughed.

"I'll see you there." Shannon waved as she walked to her team. She saw the girls already making their way to the locker rooms, now she had to get the guys to go as well. "Okay guys, shower, make-up and costumes off. There is a party in the gym, but first get yourselves cleaned up." Coach Beiste called out to the ecstatic team.
