Blaine and Rachel walk hand in hand heading to the auditorium. Today is their first show choir competition as the coaches of the glee club and both of them are now nervous.
"Here we go, our first Sectionals as coaches." Blaine said like a whisper as he push the doors getting inside at the auditorium. "I can't believe it. It's like yesterday we're competing against each other." Rachel replied, now they spotted their assigned chairs in the audience and both of them took a seat, the New Directions are going to be the last performers in the evening. "That was the first time I met you, I was looking for Kurt in the backstage then I said 'Hey' to you." He chuckled then he looks at her and he added "and then we sang 'Hey Soul Sister'. You didn't sing as the lead back there, right?"
"Yes, because Mr. Schue gave the spot to the winners at our duet assignment and that was Sam and Quinn. Actually if it wasn't for me and Finn, they wouldn't win the assignment." she said. "Yeah yeah, Kurt actually filled me in with the story, so I know enough." He smirked.
The auditorium is now filled with people and the competition is about to start. The first performers were The Unitards. The audience seems like they didn't enjoy the performance, it fell into some kind of silence, the applause only to fell after they performed. The second performers were the Crawford Country Day, the all-girls private school.
"I didn't know the Crawford Country Day has a glee club." Blaine said as they announcer called the second performers. "Well, you just don't know everything Blaine Warbler." Rachel giggled and he smiled as she calls him his nickname. Nickname that mostly everyone in Dalton Academy calls him.
Now the auditorium was filled with cheers, Blaine and Rachel got to admit they were really good. The performance was sweet but powerful. Rachel feels like she's going to vomit, they're now up next. Blaine, Rachel and the rest of the New Directions stood up to get ready backstage.
"Okay everyone listen up." Blaine said as they hit the backstage "Win or lose what's important is that we did our best, okay?" Everyone nodded. "Just remember focus and have a little fun." Rachel added.
"Let's kick their butts!" Kitty shouted and everyone cheered.
"And now please welcome, from Lima, Ohio the New Directions!" the host announced. As the New Directions take their place on the stage, Blaine looked at Rachel and he said, "Don't worry we're going to be fine." holding her hand.
"It's just that, this is our first competition as coaches Blaine." She said nervously looking at him. "Hey, just have faith, everything will be okay." He reassures her.
The crowd seems to enjoy the classic songs the New Directions are performing with some choreography everything is like entertaining. Rachel and Blaine are now smiling like proud parents as they watch their glee club. When the performance has ended the auditorium is now really filled with cheers, applause everywhere.
"Congrats guys, it looks like we have a chance to win this!" Rachel exclaimed when the New Directions meet them backstage. The boys gave Blaine some high-fives and the girls turned to hug Rachel.
"It wouldn't for you both we won't be back here." Marley said.
"I think I'm going to cry." Blaine said then he puts his arm around Rachel "Enough with the dramas, the winner is still not yet announced. So save that later Marley." He chuckled and everyone laughed.
"Calling the New Directions and their coach, please come here on the stage." The host called them.
"I'm more nervous in this than my first Sectionals as a student. I sang 'Don't Rain on My Parade' and that was like a hard song to sing." Rachel whispered in Blaine's ear. "But you rocked it and you guys won." He replied also in whisper.
"Now in 3rd place…. The Unitards!" the host announced and everyone just clapped. "Oh this is interesting." The host said as he opened the envelope then Blaine and Rachel looked at each other, Blaine just winked at Rachel, saying like 'we're going to win this'.
"We've got a tie! Congratulations New Directions and Crawford Country day singers!"
The loud cheers are everywhere; people are jumping with joy, hugs everywhere, the New Directions approached the other team to congratulate them, hands shakes and even some of them hugged. On the other hand, Blaine turned to hug Rachel.
"We won our first Sectionals as coaches!" he said with joy while hugging her. "I'm so happy!" he kisses her on the cheek and Rachel couldn't help but to smile, feeling Blaine's warm lips on her cheek.
"I'm so happy too Blaine! We're going to Regionals!" Rachel said as they pulled away.
"C'mon let's go celebrate!" Blaine grabbed Rachel's hand as they exited the stage. Blaine called out the rest of the New Directions to meet them at Breadstix to have a small celebratory dinner. Blaine and Rachel save up some enough money to treat their students for dinner if they win the Sectionals.
The Breadstix had enough space for them, but they had to separate in tables as there wasn't a vacant long table for them.
"Order what you like guys! This is our treat." Blaine said as they separated to find their tables. Rachel slid down to the booth and Blaine slid on the other side, their waitress handing them the menu.
"Thank you." Rachel said to the waitress. "So what are you having?" Rachel asked Blaine while looking at the menu.
"I think I'm just going to have some pasta, what 'bout you?" Blaine replied looking at her over his menu.
"I guess I'll have some salad."
"Then we're set." He said as he puts down his menu. Rachel stated to their waitress their orders and Blaine ordered for a wine.
"We're actually paying for those," Blaine pointed their students just across the restaurant. "-so when you bill them charge it to us."
"Celebrating something sir?" The waitress asked. "Actually we're celebrating our latest victory at the show choir Sectionals." Rachel replied with a smile. "That's great! Congratulations to your team." The waitress told them.
"Thank you!" Blaine and Rachel said at the same time.
Now their food has been served and the waitress poured their glasses with wine. Blaine raised his glass and said; "To our win at Sectionals."
"To Sectionals." She said, their glasses clinking.
Everyone said their goodbyes for the night and Blaine asked Rachel to take her home as they got out from the restaurant in which she agreed. The ride home was silent only the radio they hear. Blaine pulled into Rachel's driveway. Blaine got out to the car first and went over to open the car door for Rachel, holding out his hand to Rachel.
"Thank you." She said as she got out from the car.
"Did you have fun?" he asked as they walk down going to Rachel's front door.
"Of course, one of the best nights actually." She giggled and he grinned.
"So I'll see you tomorrow then?"
"Sure. We need to talk about Regionals!"
"Goodnight Rachel." He said while she stands on their doorway.
"Goodnight Blaine."
And so they waved goodbye. "Tomorrow is another day."- She thought.
Rachel woke up with the sound of her alarm. She wakes up every early in the morning to do her daily routines. After she took a bath her phone beeps. She smiled as she saw the name flashing on the screen, Kurt her best friend.
"Hi Kurt, how are you?" she asked as she answered her phone, smiling as she gets to talk to her best friend.
"I'm great Rachel! Oh my god! Paris has been so amazing! You should visit here sometime!" Kurt responded with enthusiast. "I will Kurt, one day." She said as she opens her window in her bedroom, smell of the fresh air coming inside her bedroom.
"So how's running the glee club with that charming ex-boyfriend of mine?" and with that question Rachel giggles. "It's been good Kurt. We actually won Sectionals."
Kurt congratulates Rachel on their won and the rest of their conversation was catching up. Rachel learned that Kurt is planning to stay in Paris for good but still considers going back to New York. The time has passed and Rachel remembers that she was going to meet Blaine.
"Hey Kurt, sorry it's really great to talk to you but I have to go. I have to meet Blaine in a few minutes."
"It's ok. I'll call you later or tomorrow. Good luck running the glee club with Blaine!"
"Thanks Kurt. Bye."
"Au revoir!"
When the phone call ended Rachel starts to text Blaine.
A few minutes later, Rachel arrived in McKinley, she was now running through the choir room where she supposed to meet Blaine there. When she entered the choir room, she saw Blaine there looking dapper with a light blue polo and jeans standing by the piano looking at some papers. Blaine looked up, he seems to notice that someone is standing by the doorway and he sighs.
"You're kinda late." He said, Rachel walking up to him. "I'm sorry, it's just I lost a track of time." She said putting her purse at a near table.
"Here's a few song list that I select. Maybe we can put some of this to our set-list for Regionals" she said handing him the list and he took the list from her.
"I think this is great. But I think we can do some original songs again." He said while looking at the list. "Maybe we can have just one original song in the set-list and the rest are covers?" she suggested.
"I don't think so." He shook his head.
"Think about it Blaine. It would have an impact to the audience if we add some covers."
"Well, I want to some original songs again. I talked to Marley about it and she's willing to write it."
"What? You talked to Marley about it without asking me first?" Rachel snapped. "Uhm-hmm. Well, yes." He said, finding the right words without upsetting her. "You could've asked me first Blaine! We're supposed to be a team and we're the coaches!" she shouted. "Could you just stop shouting for a second?" he slams his hand on the piano.
"The other day, I was talking to Marley and then we reminisced some stuff from our last Regionals, where she and I had a duet which was an original song and then she suggested to me to do some original songs again and then I think it was a great idea." He explained.
"I don't want to argue with you Blaine, but I think we're gonna lose our chance to win at Regionals if we do original songs." She said softly.
"I think we might going to have some disagreements here Rachel."
"Well, if that's what you think then I'm just going to head out." Rachel said grabbing her purse walking out to choir room. Blaine just look at her as she walks away. He sighs as he sat down to a chair, hands on his head.
