Chapter Twenty Three
Rachel (speaking) It's a Very Ancient Saying,
But a True And Honest Thought,
That if You Become A Teacher,
By Your Pupils You'll Be Taught,
Rachel (Singing) As a Teacher I've Been Learning
You'll Forgive Me If I Boast,
As I've Now Become An Expert,
On The Subject I Like Most,
All:
Getting To Know You,
Getting To Know All About You,
Getting To Know You Putting It My Way but Nicely,
You Are Precisely My Cup Of Tea
Haven't You Noticed Suddenly I'm Bright and Breezy
Because of All the Beautiful and New,
Things I'm Learning about You,
Day By Day,
During Next Chorus Myself, Noah, Finn and Quinn dance in a circle,
Getting To Know You,
Getting To Know All About You,
Getting To Know You Putting It My Way but Nicely,
You Are Precisely My Cup Of Tea
Haven't You Noticed Suddenly I'm Bright and Breezy
Because of All the Beautiful and New,
Things I'm Learning about You,
Day By Day,
Myself and the girls all dance with fans around the guys ending with us being span around by our partners.
Getting To Know You,
Getting To Know All About You,
Getting To Know You Putting It My Way but Nicely,
You Are Precisely My Cup Of Tea
Haven't You Noticed Suddenly I'm Bright and Breezy
Because of All the Beautiful and New,
Things I'm Learning about You,
Day By Day,
I ran off stage with the girls and pulled the dress off, I was wearing the black outfit, but it looked really good, I didn't look slutty at all. "Oh my god you look amazing," Quinn whispered as we walked onto the stage, them keeping me hidden until the guys noticed our presence all looking stunned at me, I walked forward my heeled shoes clicking, "Rachel," said Noah looking me up and down.
"Tell me about it stud," I almost giggled, he loved being called a stud, Artie started the bassline and Noah began to sing...
Noah: I got chills they're multiplying, and I'm loosin, control,
Cuz the power you're supplying it's electrifying!
Rachel: You Better Shape up, Cuz I Need A Man,
And My Heart Is Set On You,
You Better Shape Up,
You Better Understand,
To My Heart I Must Be True

Ooh, Ooh Honey,
You're The One That I Want (everyone else, You are the one I want)
Ooh, Ooh Honey,

Rachel: If You're Filled With Affection,
You're too Shy To Convey,
Meditate In My Direction,
Feel Your Way
Noah: I Better Shape Up,

"Hey Look Everyone, Finn and Quinn made up," squealed Brit, we looked and they were making out.
"But What Are We Gonna Do After Graduation," said San,
"Yeah Maybe We'll Never See Each Other Again," said Mercedes and Tina sadly.
"That'll Never Happen," said Noah.
"How do you know," everyone said.
"What Do You Mean How Do I know," He said the music for the next song started.

We stood in lines, Boys on one side, girls on other, the couples all come forward (like in the film) as we sang the last lines;
We'll always be together,
We'll always be together,
We'll always be together,
We'll always be together,
Myself and Noah come last and as everyone sings the last 'We'll Always Be Together,' we kiss passionately. Everyone runs off stage Noah and the guys come back on, Noah with his guitar, and begin to sing the last of the musical numbers;
Noah: Somewhere over the Rainbow,
Way Up High,
There's A Land That I Heard of
Once in A Lullaby,
Artie: Somewhere Over The Rainbow
Skies Are Blue,
And The Dreams That You Dare To Dream,
Really Do Come True
Everyone: Someday I Wish Upon A Star
And Wake Up Where The Clouds Are Far Behind Me
Where Troubles Melt Like Lemon Drops
Away Above The Chimney Tops,
That's Where You'll Find Me,
Finn: Somewhere Over The Rainbow,
Bluebirds Fly,
Mike: Birds Fly Over The Rainbow,
Why Then Oh Why Can't I,
Everyone: If Happy Little Bluebirds Fly,
Beyond The Rainbow,
Why Oh Why Can't I
We all came back onto the stage and bowed to the audience, Now all we had to do was wait…
"Will all of the choirs please return to the stage," the host announced. We walked onto the stage, hand in hand, this was so much like Regionals.
"Never have we had such a nail biting event. All of the choirs here were amazing, it really has been great to see how passionate you are about what you do," he said. "But there can of course only be one winner,"
"In third place, 'The Order of the Phoenix' from Arizona," he said. They cheered and their director collected their trophy. "Well done to them in second place 'The Dukes' from Texas," I could only presume they'd gotten their name from the TV Show, 'The Dukes of Hazzard'. They cheered it was obviously an achievement to be second.
"And now in first place…," he said. "Ladies and Gentlemen it gives me great pleasure…, New Directions from Ohio,"
Time stood still, and then we were on our feet screaming so loudly I'm surprised we didn't cause an earthquake. I felt the tears streaming down my cheeks, and looked at Noah who pulled me into a very passionate kiss. "We chose you guys, because your talent is amazing, you can dance, act, and sing, something we haven't seen for a while," said the head judge. "Would you like to sing a victory number," We looked at each other and muttered a song, and then nodded. "Okay ladies and gentlemen it gives me great pleasure to announce New Directions National Champions 2010 with their victory number,"
Finn: I've paid my dues -
Time after time -
Quinn: I've done my sentence
But committed no crime -
Noah: And bad mistakes
I've made a few
Rachel: I've had my share of sand kicked in my face -
But I've come through
Everyone: We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting - till the end -
We are the champions -
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions - of the world -
Artie: I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls -
Tina: You brought me fame and fortune and everything that goes with it
I thank you all -
Santana: But it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise -
Mercedes: I consider it a challenge before the whole human race -
And I ain't gonna lose -
Everyone: We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting - till the end -
We are the champions -
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions - of the world –
We bowed to the audience as they cheered loudly, we had done it, no matter what the rest of our school would say we were the best show choir in the country.
