Rachel took a deep breath as she closed her eyes and squeezed Finn's hand. She looked over at him and said, "I can't do this! Yes i know i'm Rachel Berry, but im nervous! I mean what if they say no? Or what if they were so mesmerized by jessie's voice that nobody could compare to anything else." She looked away for a moment and Finn saw a tear coming out of her eye.
He then squeezed her hand tighter and said, "Baby, please tell me you don't seriously think that! Your amazing and anybody in there right minds would want to accept you! They would be stupid not too!" He then gave her a kiss on the cheek and squeezed her hand tighter as every passing minute went by.
Ryan then came out and said, "Rachel berry your up!"
Finn gave her a reassuring smile before he said, "Don't worry your a star and there going to see that. I'm going to be waiting for you right here to come rushing out of that room and into my arms when you make it." He kissed her hand before opening the door for her to enter. Rachel took in a deep breath and entered the room.
When she made eye contact with the judges she gave them one of her Rachel Berry smiles and said, "Hi I'm Rachel Berry, the STAR of New Directions! I know you might have heard about our devastating loss at Nationals but i promise you this year we will bring home the prize!" She said smiling at the judges. She flipped her hair back and smiled feeling a little bit more confident then before.
Paula smiled up at her and said, "I don't know what your talking about but i'm glad you enjoy what your doing. So what are you singing for us today Ms. Berry?" Rachel looked up at her and smiled.
"I will be singing the song that I'm convinced won us sectionals the first year of glee club. "Don't Rain On My Parade" By my idol and legendary performer Barbra Streisand!" Rachel smiled and started the song.
Don't tell me not to live, just sit and putter
Life's candy and the sun's a ball of butter
Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade
Don't tell me not to fly, I simply got to
If someone takes a spill, it's me and not you
Who told you you're allowed to rain on my parade
I'll march my band out, I'll beat my drum
And if I'm fanned out, your turn at bat, sir
At least I didn't fake it, hat, sir
I guess I didn't make it
But whether I'm the rose of sheer perfection
A freckle on the nose of life's complexion
The Cinderella or the shine apple of its eye
I gotta fly once, I gotta try once,
Only can die once, right, sir?
Ooh, life is juicy, juicy and you see,
I gotta have my bite, sir.
Get ready for me love, 'cause I'm a "comer"
I simply gotta march, my heart's a drummer
Don't bring around the cloud to rain on my parade,
I'm gonna live and live NOW!
Get what I want, I know how!
One roll for the whole shebang!
One throw that bell will go clang,
Eye on the target and wham,
One shot, one gun shot and bam!
Hey, Mr. Arnstein, here I am ...
I'll march my band out, I will beat my drum,
And if I'm fanned out, your turn at bat, sir,
At least I didn't fake it, hat, sir,
I guess I didn't make it
Get ready for me love, 'cause I'm a "comer"
I simply gotta march, my heart's a drummer
Nobody, no, nobody, is gonna rain on my parade!
The judges all stood up and gave her a standing ovation. Paula and Randy even wiped there eyes! Rachel bowed and said, "Thank you! I just want to give thanks to you for giving me a chance to shine where i finally need to." Randy and Paula clapped their hands.
Simon then stood up and said, "Rachel Berry, i have never heard a voice like yours! I think that when i say that you may be our winner i mean it one hundred percent. Your voice is so amazing and i don't think i've ever heard anything as good." Rachel started crying and she nodded her head and mentioned a quick thank you before running out the door and into Finn's arm like he said to do.
She kissed him passionately and he kissed her back and said, "I knew you could do it baby! I had no doubt on my mind that they would say no! Now i have a question for you that you better not say no too." He then knelt down on one knee in front of her and asked, "Rachel, from the moment i met you i knew you were the one. You took my breath away when you were the controlling sophomore that sang Your'e the one that i want in my first glee club meeting. You were the one that helped me with Quinn when i stupidly thought the baby was mine. You were my guiding star that made me see the whole world in a brand new light. I love you and i loved you last year when we were together and i loved you when i almost punched jesse at prom and i want to be with you forever. I don't want to be the guy who pretends anymore that all he wants is a high school girlfriend when i really want to be with someone for the rest of my life as a guiding star who lets me be me. I want a girl who understands me for everything i am and accepts it." he smiled and took the velvet box out of his pocket. "I then realized that all those things i need in somebody i already found. She's you Rachel and i need you to keep me breathing because without you i'm nothing. Without you i'm just a regular boy who has nothing to strive for. So will you please do me the honor of marring me?"
They then heard a sob in the back of the room from Ryan, he looked at them and said, "Wow that was beautiful." he wiped a tear from his face and said, "But seriously how much shit did you guys go through over the last few years?" Finn and Rachel laughed. Rachel then looked at Finn and squeezed his hand.
"Finn you know i love you. So i guess my only answer for you is no!" Finn then looked down at his feet and frowned letting out a few tears.
Ryan then in the background yelled, "WHAT? YOU CAN"T SAY NO! THAT WAS THE HOTTEST PROPOSAL I EVER SAW! RACHEL, WHY?" Rachel then started to laugh and looked down at finn.
She placed a hand on Finn's shoulder and said, "Finn i was just kidding baby! Yes i would love to marry you." Finn then got up off the floor and scooped her up into a bear hug.
Ryan then joined the hug and said, "I knew you'd say yes!"
