"Audrey are you ready yet? You're going to miss the bus ride to sectionals!" said Rachel calling for her daughter. "Coming!" Audrey said back. She came downstairs with a big smile on her face, she was so excited for sectionals. "How come you haven't told us the songs you're doing?" Finn asked. "Like I said before Dad, it's a surprise."

"Hey! Over here!" Quinn said to Finn and Rachel telling them to come sit next to her and Sam. "Hey!" said Rachel giving her friend a hug. Finn and Rachel both took their seats next to them, "Did Hayley tell you anything about the songs they're singing?" Rachel asked to both of them. "No, not at all she said it was a surprise," said Sam. "Audrey said the same thing," responded Finn.
In the greenroom Hayley was doing vocal exercises with James, her singing partner for the duet. Audrey was also doing vocal exercises until Hayley approached her. "Good luck out there! I know you'll do great!" said Hayley. "You too Hay," Audrey responded and gave her a hug. After the two separated Audrey made her way to the back of the auditorium. She started to play around with her microphone necklace and she knew this was her time to shine.

The four of them were talking until the lights dimmed again. "Now for our last group, McKinley High's New Directions!" The announcer walked off and the music for 'Don't Rain on my Parade' started to play. Audrey appeared from the curtain at the back of the auditorium and 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!
During Audrey's performance, Finn looked towards Rachel to find her crying. "Rach what's wrong?" he asked squeezing her hand. Rachel smiled "She's me Finn, she's amazing, and she's our daughter." Finn smiled at his wife and the both continued to watch their daughter's performance.
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!
When Audrey finished she looked at the audience who gave her a standing ovation. Hayley was right, she was the only one who could sing this song. The curtain rose behind her to reveal the rest of the New Directions.
The music started to play for '(I've had) The Time of my Life'. Quinn and Sam both looked at each other and soon James came out from the group.
[James]
Now I've had the time of my life
No I never felt like this before
Yes I swear it's the truth and I owe it all to you
Then Hayley did the same.
[Hayley]
Cause I've had the time of my life and I owe it all to you
[James]
I've been waiting for so long
Now I've finally found someone
To stand by me
[Hayley]
We saw the writing on the wall
As we felt this magical fantasy
[James and Hayley]
Now with passion in our eyes
There's no way we could disguise it secretly
So we take each others hand
Cause we seem to understand the urgency ooh
[James]
Just remember!
[Hayley]
You're the one thing
[James]
I can't get enough of (I can't get enough of)
[Hayley]
So I'll tell you something
[James and Hayley]
This could be love (This could be love)
because
[New Directions]
I've had the time of my life no I never felt like this before
Yes I swear it's the truth and I owe it all to you
[James and Hayley]
Hey baby, hey baby
[Hayley]
With my body and soul I want you more than you'll ever know
[James]
So we'll just let it go don't be afraid to lose control
[Hayley]
Yes I know what's on your mind when you say
"Stay with me tonight" (stay with me)
[James]
Just remember!
[James and Hayley]
You're the one thing I can't get enough of
(I can't get enough of)
So I'll tell you something
This could be love (this could be love) because
[New Directions]
(I've had) I've had the time of my life no I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth and I owe it all to you.
Cause I've had the time of my life
and I've searched through every open door
Till I've found the truth and I owe it all to you
As the New Directions finished the audience gave another standing ovation to the group. They all looked at each other with faces filled with happiness and accomplishment.

The New Directions all held hands on-stage awaiting the results. Audrey and Hayley both gripped their hands tight. "And now your 2029 Mid-West Sectionals first place winner is…
New Directions!" said the announcer. Everyone shouted and cheered and exchanged hugs. "We did it!" Audrey shouted to Hayley. "I can't believe our idea worked!" Hayley shouted back as Audrey pulled her in for a hug.

Audrey and Hayley gathered their things and started to leave. "Hey Audrey, Hayley can I talk to you both for a second?" asked Mr. Shue. "Sure," both girls said in unison. "I just wanted to let you both know how great you both were today," said Mr. Shue as the three of them started walking out together. "Thanks Mr. Shue we're both glad that we won," said Audrey. Mr. Shue smiled and started to walk out in a different direction.
"There they are," said Finn towards both girls. Audrey and Hayley started to walk a little faster once they caught sight of their parents. "You both were so amazing and you did our songs!" said Quinn. "Now did you see why we didn't tell you?" said Hayley and the four adults laughed. "Audrey was the one who stole the show," added Hayley. Audrey looked at her and gave her a smile. Rachel gave her daughter a hug, "You were amazing up there sweetheart, you we're me." "Thanks Mom," Audrey said letting go.
"Audrey?" said a voice. Audrey turned around and saw that it was Lindsay. "Oh no," whispered Hayley.
"Lindsay?" Audrey asked in response. Lindsay hated her, Audrey had no idea why she would want to talk to her.
"I just wanted to say that, I'm glad you got the solo because it wouldn't have been as great as that performance and we probably wouldn't have won if I sung it," said Lindsay. Audrey was surprised at what Lindsay had just said to her. From behind Finn, Rachel, Quinn, and Sam had questioned looks on their faces. Hayley's jaw dropped and was in disbelief. "Thanks," Audrey said with doubt. Lindsay nodded and walked away.
When Lindsay was out of sight Audrey turned back around to find Hayley laughing. "What's so funny?" Sam asked his daughter. "Did she really just say that? What a joke. Watch when we go back to school on Monday she's gonna go back to hating you," said Hayley and Audrey laughed along with her friend. "Who was she?" Rachel asked. "Her name is Lindsay and she wanted the solo for 'Don't Rain on my Parade' and so did Audrey. She basically threatened Audrey to drop out but she didn't and ended up beating her anyways," said Hayley. "What she said," said Audrey. "I'm so proud of you, we both are," said Rachel.
