Hey everyone! I'm so sorry for the wait! I have been REALLY busy and hopefully I will put up more chapters very soon! Oh and in the last chapter if any of you were wondering, Finn's job is co-owner at Burt's car auto-body! I hope you all like this chapter! I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING EXCEPT AUDREY, HAYLEY, AND LINDSAY!

Soon came Wednesday and Audrey was ready to go against Lindsay. All of the glee club members took their seats in the auditorium, Lindsay offered to go first. When Lindsay began to sing everyone was smiling. Audrey overheard someone say, "I hope she wins." That really made Audrey want to win. Lindsay was nearing the end of the song and she messed up on the long note at the end. Everyone turned heads and whispered to each other. This was Audrey's advantage, she couldn't mess this up. When Lindsay was done, it looked like she wanted to cry. "That was great Lindsay," said Mr. Shue. The rest of them clapped and Audrey made her way onto the stage, she could see Hayley giving her thumbs up for good luck. Audrey smiled, and she began to sing.

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've 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,
Or freckle on the nose
Of life's complexion,
The cinder or the shiny 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 commer,
I simply gotta march,
My heart's a drummer.
Don't bring around a 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 show bang,
One throw, that bell will go clang,
Eye on the target and wham
One shot, one gun shot, and BAM
Hey, Mister Armstein,
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 commer,
I simply gotta march,
My heart's a drummer.
Nobody, no, nobody
Is gonna rain on my parade!

Everyone stood up and applauded, a stronger applaud than Lindsay's. Audrey's eyes wandered towards Lindsay, she saw her with her head down and arms crossed. "You did amazing Audrey," Hayley said to her as both girls sat on the bus ride home. "Thanks Hay," said Audrey and Hayley smiled. The bus soon came to Audrey's stop. "Bye Hayley," Audrey said getting up from her seat. "Bye," responded Hayley. Audrey stepped off the bus and started walking home.

Audrey entered her house and put her school bag by the front door. She made her way to the kitchen where she heard her Mom and Dad's voices. Audrey saw them having a good time making dinner together. Finn did need some assistance from Rachel in cooking, he was very basic when it came to food. "Hey beautiful, how was school?" Finn asked and Audrey giggled. "It was really great! And you're home early," she said. "Well I got off early and that's good. What made it really great?" Finn continued to ask. "I can't tell you, it's a surprise," Audrey said smiling while grabbing an apple from the fruit basket. "What's the surprise?" Rachel then asked. "You're going to find out in December," Audrey responded as she bit into the apple and walked away. Finn and Rachel both looked at each other a little confused.

After dinner, Audrey went downstairs to the living room and saw her Mom sitting on the couch with a few boxes around her. "Hey, what are you doing?" "Hey, just looking at some old stuff from high school." Audrey sat down next to her Mom and started going through some of the boxes. Audrey pulled out one of the year books and started flipping through the pages. "Oh god, Mom, you seriously wore that?" Audrey said seriously toward her Mom. Rachel turned to look, "That was my style, sexy school girl librarian chic," Rachel responded. "What?" Audrey said while laughing. "Oh, stop it," said Rachel jokingly. Audrey smiled and put the year book back into the box and looked though it again.

"What is this?" Audrey started to laugh again as she pulled out a small locker calendar with two kittens on the cover but instead of the faces of kittens, they were filled with the faces of Finn and Rachel. "Oh no don't open that!" said Rachel but it was too late. Audrey sprung up from the couch and started reading it aloud "January 5th 2010: See Phantom of the Opera with Finn." "Audrey give it back to me," said Rachel but Audrey just continued. "January 15th 2010: Go to Bredstix and watch 'Grease' with Finn," Audrey laughed as she finished and handed the calendar back to her Mom. Rachel took it back and but it back in the box. "I'm sorry Mom," said Audrey. "It's ok sweetie, it's just I have been made fun of all my high school life and I had to deal with it for four years," said Rachel. Audrey gave her a hug and Rachel smiled. "I better get to bed, I'm kind of tired. Again I'm sorry," Audrey said feeling guilty. Rachel gave her a quick kiss on the side of her head. "It's ok Audrey," Rachel said with a smile and Audrey smiled back. "Ok night, love you," said Audrey as she started going upstairs. "Love you too," Rachel responded as she walked away.

So Audrey did win the contest against Lindsay. Next chapter will be up VERY soon! Beth returns and soon it will be Sectionals!
