The Sirens sat on the plane to Miami. A lot of the girls had to admit that they idea of getting a vacation a free vacation out of the trip to Nationals was pretty great, especially since Elle was the only one who had ever been to Florida. As soon as they arrived at the airport, Rebekah called all of them together.
"Now there's something that I need to tell you before we do this." Rebekah declared. "Well there are a few things actually. Number one: I'm proud of you girls for making it this far and number two: we are still going to need to practice. There will be time for the beach, but the most important thing is focusing on winning this competition."
"Have you decided on what songs we're going to sing?" Yoana asked.
"Yes." The teacher replied. "You and Audrie are going to lead off by Zedd and Selena Gomez's 'I Want You to Know'. This will be followed by Claire and Odette singing 'Fly' by Maddie and Tae. Finally, we will be closing our number with original song that I wrote called 'Just Another Song', which will be sung by Elle and Bella. Are they any questions?"
"Are you sure that it's a good idea to perform a song that not only we've never heard, but no one has either?" Claire inquired.
"Yes." Rebekah answered. "We need to take risks if we're going to beat Manhattan Regional. I understand that it might not work, but at least we can say that tried. Now the rooms will be the same as they were in Albany. We'll meet at 5:00 to rehearse. Don't be late."
After getting to her room, Livvy knew that the first thing that she wanted to do was put her bikini on and head to the beach. She also wanted to see if there was any chance that Odette might want to be more than just someone that she has sex with. She put on a pink bikini and went to knock on Odette and Nova's door. Unfortunately, Odette wasn't the one who answered it.
"Is Odette here?" She asked Nova.
"She's actually already at the beach." Nova explained. Livvy was surprised that she was able to change so fast. "She wore her bikini under her clothes so she wouldn't have to wait to change. Why were you looking for her by the way?"
"Well, we've been…intimate lately." Livvy remarked with a blush.
"Oh." Nova stated. "Well if you're going to do that in here, leave something to let me know so I don't walk in on you."
Livvy blushed some more and just decided to head to the beach. She couldn't help but notice how good the warm air felt against her skin. She noticed Odette lying on a towel with sunglasses, a green headband and white bandeau top with multiple colors and skimpy blue bottom. '
"What's up?" She asked.
"I want to be your girlfriend." Livvy remarked before she got on top of Odette and gave her a kiss. Odette kissed back and they didn't even care if anyone was staring. The only people that were staring were some of the Sirens because apparently the Miami residents were used to same-sex couples making out on the beach.
"Wow…I've never been kissed…like that before." Odette panted.
"Well, if you want some more of that, you have to agree to be my girlfriend." Livvy declared.
"I don't know." Odette replied.
"It's a yes or no question." Livvy pointed out.
"Fine, yes, I'll do it." Odette relented. "I'm just nervous about getting my heart broken again."
"I'm not going to break your heart." Livvy promised.
The following the girls were in the auditorium wearing crimson dresses with black straps and upper bodices, as well centers, with pleated knee-length skirts, black headbands and heels. They would be performing 27th.
The first performance was by a group from Ohio called The Warblers.
Every time I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face getting clearer, the past is gone
It went by ooh like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way, everybody's got their dues in life to pay
I know nobody knows where it comes and where it goes
I know everybody says you got to lose to know to win
Sing with me, sing for the ear
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing with me if just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away
Dream on, dream on, dream on dream until you dreams comes true
Dream on, dream on, dream on dream until you dreams come true
Dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on, dream
Sing with me, sing for the ear
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing with me if just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away
Later in the show, Manhattan Regional took the stage.

Lyrics to Lighters Featuring Luke Conard & Chad Sugg
This one's for you and me living out our dreams we're alright where we should be
Lift my arms out wide I open my eyes
And now All I wanna see
Is a sky full of lighters A sky full of lighters
By the time you hear this I will have already spiraled up
I would never do nothin to let you cowards mess my world up
If I was you I would duck or get struck like lighting
Fighters keep fighting
Put your lighters up
Point em' skyward UH!
Had a dream I was king I woke up still king
Till nobody else even freaking feels me Till it kills me
I swear to God I'll be the freaking illest in the music
There is or there ever will be Disagree? Feel free, but from now on I'm refusing, to ever give up,
Only thing I ever gave ups using no more excuses
Excuse me if my head's too big for this building
You and I know what it's like
To be kicked down forced to fight
But tonight we're alright so hold up your light
Let it shine cause
This one's for you and me living out our dreams
We're alright where we should be lift my arms out wide I open my eyes
And now All I wanna see
Is a sky full of lighters A sky full of lighters
Finally, the 26th team finished and the Sirens headed toward the stage. There was only one performance after them, so they had a good feeling they would be remembered. Yoana and Audrie went out first.
I want you to know that it's our time, you and me lead the same life
I want you to know that I'm all yours, you and me run the same course
I'm slipping down a chain reaction and here I go, here I go, go, go, go
Once again I'm yours in fractions, it takes me down, pulls me down, pulls me down low
Honey it's raining tonight, but storms always have an eye, have an eye
Tell me you're covered tonight or tell me lies, tell me lies
I want you to know that it's our time, you and me lead the same life
I want you to know that I'm all yours, you and me we're the same force
I want you to know that it's our time, you and me lead the same life
I want you to know that I'm all yours, you and me we're the same force
I'm better under your reflection, but did you know, did you know, did you know no
That's anybody else that's met ya it's all the same, all the same, all the same
Honey it's raining tonight, but storms always have an eye, have an eye
Tell me you're covered tonight or tell me lies, tell me lies
I want you to know that it's our time, you and me lead the same life
I want you to know that I'm all yours, you and me we're the same force
I want you to know that it's our time, you and me lead the same life
I want you to know that I'm all yours, you and me run the same course
After the song was over, Odette and Claire headed to the stage. Claire was a little bit nervous because it was her first time performing a lead in a competition. Odette was leading off.
Baby blue staring in the window pane just counting drops of rain
Wondering if she's got the guts to take it
Running down her dreams in a dirty dress, now her heart's a mess
Praying she will find a way to make it
So keep on climbing though the ground might shake
Just keep on reaching though the limb might break
We've come this far, don't you be scared now
Cause you can learn to fly on the way down
You won't forget the heavy steps it took to let it go
Close your eyes, count to ten, hold your breath and fly
Keep on climbing though the ground might shake
Just keep on reaching though the limb might break
We've come this far, don't you be scared now
Cause you can learn to fly on the way down
Fly, fly
The crowd cheered as the rest of the group walked onto the stage. They would be singing backup as Elle and Bella prepared to perform. If there was anything that was going to win the competition for them, it would be this song. Elle started the first verse.
It's a good day, good cup of coffee to drink
It's a good day, no dishes lined up in the sink
I'm a long way from the place I used to be
It's a good day
Oh teardrops are gone
Oh then I hear that song
It takes me to me and you black and white movie
I made you watch then we kissed oh I knew
I was falling for you and you would when it's on the radio that's when it hits me you're gone
But baby to you, it's probably just another song
But to me it's a bullet out of a gun
Yeah to me it's a knife and a damn rusty one
It's a floodgate of memories I don't wanna feel
Oh it's all just a little too real
Oh just when the teardrops are gone
Oh why do I hear that heartbreaking take me back song
It takes me to me and you 45s spinning
I made you dance then we kissed oh I knew
I was falling for you and you would when it's on the radio that's when it hits me you're gone
But baby to you, it's probably just another song
But baby to you it's probably just another song
But baby to you it's probably just another song
But baby to you it's just a good day
The crowd erupted into applause that extended until the next group had to perform. Rebekah could smiles on the judges faces as the girls headed off the stage.
They then waited for the judges to deliberate. They would be posting a list of the top 3, who go would go to stage for the winner to be announced. When it finally came out, it had St Jessica's, Manhattan Regional, and Dalton Academy on it.
"And now for the third place." The emcee declared. "From Manhattan Regional High, Impulse."
The crowd applauded as a third place trophy was awarded.
"And the 2017 National Show Choir Champions are…from St Jessica's School for Girls, The Sirens." He declared.
Confetti began to fall and Rebekah was handed a trophy.
Once they made it back to the school, everyone assembled in the choir room.
"So to close the year out, I have a song for you girls." Rebekah declared. "I didn't write this one, but I think it's great for the moment."
Hit the ground, hit the ground, hit the ground oh, oh,
Only sound, only sound that you hear is no
You never saw it coming, slipped when you started running
And now you've come undone and I, I, I
Seen you fall, seen you crawl on your knees eh, eh
Seen you lost in a crowd, seen your colors fade
Wish I could make it better some day you won't remember
This pain you thought would last forever and ever
But there you'll stand 10 feet tall, I will say I knew it all along
Your eyes brighter than distance, this life is sweeter than fiction
And there you'll stand next to me, all at once, the rest is history
Your eyes brighter than distance, this life is sweeter than fiction
I'll be one of the many saying "look at you now, look at you now, now"
I'll be one of the many saying "you made us proud, you made us proud, proud"
I'll be one of the many saying "look at you now, look at you now, now"
I'll be one of the many saying "you made us proud, you made us proud, proud"
And when they call your name and they put your picture in a frame
You know that I'll be there time and again cause I loved you then
When you hit the ground, hit the ground, hit the ground oh, oh,
Only sound, only sound that you hear is no
Now in this perfect weather, it's like we don't remember
The rain you thought would last forever and ever
But there you'll stand 10 feet tall, I will say I knew it all along
Your eyes brighter than distance, this life is sweeter than fiction
And there you'll stand next to me, all at once, the rest is history
Your eyes brighter than distance, this life is sweeter than fiction
It's sweeter than fiction, it's sweeter, it's sweeter yeah
It's sweeter than fiction
