The Sirens sat in the choir room as they waited for Rebekah to show up. When the teacher finally entered the room, she was holding a cup from the dining hall.
"Why do you have a cup, Ms. Mays?" Elle asked. Instead of answering, Rebekah began to move it around the table.
I got my ticket for the long way round
Two bottles of whiskey for the way
And I sure would like some sweet company
I'm leaving tomorrow what do you say?
When I'm gone, when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my hair
You're gonna miss me everywhere oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
When I'm gone, when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my hair
You're gonna miss me everywhere oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
I got my ticket for the long way round
The one with the prettiest of views
It's got mountains, it's got rivers
It's got sights that give me shivers
But it sure would be prettier with you
When I'm gone, when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my walk
You're gonna miss me by my talk
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
When I'm gone, when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my walk
You're gonna miss me by my talk
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
When I'm gone, when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my walk
You're gonna miss me by my talk
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
The girls all clapped as soon as she finished. They were impressed that she knew how to play the cup.
"The theme for this week as you may have guessed in Pitch Perfect. You can sing any song that was featured in the movie." Rebekah explained. "If you haven't seen it by any chance, come talk to me and I'll give the DVD to watch."
That night, Cady and Renee were on a date.
"So have you ever seen the movie?" Cady asked.
"Yes, I've seen it." Renee confirmed. "There was one song that I wanted sing from the final medley. You know Beca and Chloe were my OTP before they got together in the sequel."
"Your what?" Cady questioned.
"My one true pairing." Renee explained. "Haven't you had a couple that you just wanted to be together, even though you didn't think that it would ever actually happen?"
"Well there was Terra and Changeling on Titans." Cady answered. "I know that their initial relationship was a lie, but I felt like he can redeem her."
"I don't know anything about that. I've never seen the show." Renee admitted.
"So what was this song that you wanted to perform?" Cady questioned.
"I told you it's from the final medley." Renee remarked before she realized something. "Would you be interested in doing the rap part for me?"
"I would love to do that." Cady replied.
So the next morning, the two of them began to perform in their best Barden Bellas outfits,
Seems like everybody's got a price, I wonder how they sleep at night
When the sale comes first and the truth comes second just stop for a minute and smile
Why is everybody so serious, acting so damn mysterious

Everybody look to the left, everybody look to the right

And all I that's all I need is keys and guitars
And in 30 seconds I'm leaving to Mars

"That was great you too." Rebekah stated.
"Miss Mays, are we going to talk about Nationals?" Gabriella asked. She could tell that a lot of the other girls were thinking the same.
"I'm currently working on the set list." Rebekah declared. "Let's focus on the week at hand and when we get to Miami, I should have it done. In the meantime, I believe that Alessandra was ready to perform something."
Alessandra walked to the center of the room and began to sing. It was one of the songs from the mash-up.
I was at the top now it's like I'm in the basement
Number one spot now he's finding a replacement
I swear that I can't take it, knowing somebody's got my baby
And now you aint around baby I can't think
Should've put it down, should've took that ring
I can feel I through the air
See his pretty face, run my fingers through his hair
My love of my life, your shawty, your wife
He left me, I'm tied, cause I knew that just aint right
I was thinking 'bout him, thinking 'bout me
Thinking 'bout us, what we gonna be
Open my eyes, it was only just a dream
So I travelled back down that road
Will he come back, no one knows
I realize that it was only just a dream
If you ever loved somebody, put your hands up
If you ever loved somebody, put your hands up
Now they're gone and you're wishing you could give them everything
If you ever loved somebody, put your hands up
If you ever loved somebody, put your hands up
Now they're gone and you're wishing you could give them everything
I was thinking 'bout him, thinking 'bout me
Thinking 'bout us, what we gonna be
Open my eyes, it was only just a dream
So I travelled back down that road
Will he come back, no one knows
I realize that it was only just a dream
"So do you wanna go to a see a show on Broadway tonight?" Elle asked Gabriella after rehearsal was over.
"It don't know." The Brit replied.
"Well we can do a lot of stuff." Elle stated. "New York is the city that has everything. We could see a baseball game or whatever you want."
I've been living for the weekend, but no not anymore
Cause here comes that familiar feeling that Friday's famous for
Yeah I'm looking for some action and it's out there somewhere
You can feel the electricity all in the evening air
And it may just be more of the same
But sometimes you wanna go where everyone knows your name
So I guess I'll have to wait and see
But I'm just gonna let something brand new happen to me
And it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
Bright lights and the big city
It belongs to us tonight
Now Friday's cool, but there's something about Saturday night
You can't say what you want to cause you know that you just might
I'm alive this evening it was love at first sight
This Saturday for the rest of my life
And everyone's standing in line
Yeah looking good and looking for a real good time
So I'll never have to wonder if
I'll have someone to share all of this with
And it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
Bright lights and the big city
It belongs to us tonight
Bright lights and the big city
The two of them decided that they would spend the night seeing as many of the sights as they could and even ended up going to a Mets game. Of course, the Mets lost, but they still had a good time.
Later in the week, Lisa went in for an ultrasound with Rebekah at her side. They were waiting for the doctor and Lisa already had her gown on.
"So are you nervous?" Rebekah asked.
"Yeah, a little bit." Lisa replied. "Are you nervous about Nationals?"
"Yes." Rebekah answered. "Don't tell anyone else but I was actually going to use one of my original songs for Nationals."
"I didn't know that you wrote songs." Lisa stated. "So I don't know what's going to happen after this year is over. I'm gonna have a baby and I don't know what to do."
"Well I can relate to the feeling." Rebekah admitted. "If we don't win Nationals, there might not be a Glee club next year. I know it's the same, but…"
"I get it." Lisa declared. "Don't worry. We're going to be fine."
"I really hope that you find a way to come back next year." Rebekah declared.
Rebekah then began to sing to help calm her down.
Oh her eyes, her eyes make the stars look like they're not shining
Her hair, her hair falls perfectly without her trying
She's so beautiful and I tell her every day
Yeah I know, I know when I compliment her she won't believe me
And it's so, it's so sad to think that she don't see what I see
But every time she asks me "Do I look okay" I say
When I see your face there's not a thing I would change
Cause you're amazing just the way you are
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while
Cause girl you're amazing just the way you are
The way you are, The way you are
Girl you're amazing just the way you are
When I see your face there's not a thing I would change
Cause you're amazing just the way you are
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while
Cause girl you're amazing just the way you are
"Congratulations, you're having a girl." The doctor told Lisa.
At the end of the week, the girls got together for last performance before Nationals.
I hopped off the plane at LAX with a dream and my cardigan
Welcome to the land of fame excess am I gonna fit in?
Jumped in a cab here I am for the first time, look to my right and see the Hollywood sign
This is all so crazy, everybody's looking so famous
My tummy's turning and I'm feeling kind of homesick
Too much pressure and I'm nervous
That's when the taximan turned on the radio and the Jay-Z song was on
And the Jay-Z song was on and the Jay-Z song was on.
So I put my hands up, they're playing my song, the butterflies fly away
Nodding my head like yeah, moving my hips like yeah
I've got my hands up, they're playing my song, I know I'm gonna be okay
Yeah it's a party in the USA, yeah it's a party in the USA
Feeling jumping gonna fly back to my hometown tonight
Something stops me every time, the DJ plays song and I feel alright
So I put my hands up, they're playing my song, the butterflies fly away
Nodding my head like yeah, moving my hips like yeah
I've got my hands up, they're playing my song, I know I'm gonna be okay
Yeah it's a party in the USA, yeah it's a party in the USA
Rebekah couldn't help but smile. She knew that they were going to win it.

The songs are "Cups" by Anna Kendrick, "Price Tag" by Jessie J featuring B.o.B, "Just A Dream" by Nelly, "Bright Lights, Bigger City" by Cee-Lo Green, "Just the Way You Are" by Bruno Mars, and "Party in the USA" by Miley.
