Chapter 18
Competition
"Okay you guys, I have found out our other competition for sectionals. As you all know, we have the Warblers…" Mr. Schuester began.
"Which Puckerman made a lot better, because Jeff and Ivan Chavez go there now," Alyssa interjected.
"Yes, well, we are also going to be facing a new club from their sister school, Crawford Country Day."
"So, we should have a one up on them, because we are the only club that has both boys and girls," Rachel said, looking a bit too excited.
"Umm, we may have both genders, but if they have more talent, than us we can't win."
"That's why we need a bit more Mercedes in our number," Mercedes commented.
"Thank you for your input Mercedes, but I don't know if that is what the judges will be looking for."
Shortly after Mr. Schue finished, Jeff came bursting through the doors of the choir room.
"JEFF!" Naomi squealed, running to give him a hug.
"Yes, I miss you guys too, but I am not here to stay."
"Why are you here?" Puck asked, a hint of irritation in his voice.
"Crawford Country Day's Glee Club sent us a letter telling us to bring The New Directions to the theatre."
"Wait, what are they doing in our school?" Finn asked.
They grabbed their things and rushed to the theatre. There were 13 girls standing on the stage wearing plaid skirts, black sweater vests, and a white long-sleeved dress shirt. In the center was a girl, around five foot three, and had curly brown hair that went down just past her shoulders.
"Hello, I am Lindsay. We decided to show our competition what we are made of, now that we are only a week away from sectionals," the girl stated and she returned to the group of girls, faced the back wall, and turned when the music began to play.
Lindsay: Times have changed
And we've often rewound the clock,
Since the Puritans got a shock
When they landed on a Plymouth Rock
If today
Any shock they should try to stem
Stead of landing on Plymouth Rock
Plymouth Rock would land on them
All: In olden days a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking
But now, God Knows
Anything goes
Good authors too who once knew better words
Now only use four letter words
Writing prose,
Anything goes
Lindsay: Anything you can be,
I can be greater
Sooner or later,
I'm greater than you
Others: No, you're not. Lindsay: Yes, I am
Others: No, you're not. Lindsay: Yes, I am
Others: No, you're NOT. Lindsay: Yes, I am
Yes, I am
Others: The World has gone mad today
And good's bad today
And black's white today
And day's night today
When most guys today
That women prize today are just sily gigolos
Any note you can hold
I can hold longer
Lindsay: I can hold any note longer than you
Others: No, you can't
Lindsay: Yes, I can
Others: No, you can't
Lindsay: Yes, I can
Others: No, you can't
Lindsay: Yes, I can
Yes, I ...
Yes, I can !
Kurt gave them a standing ovation as they left the room, but he received evil glares from the rest of his club.
"Oh my god, Mr. Schue, they were outstanding," Rachel broke the long period of silence.
"We are just as good Rachel, and we won't just let them put us into a funk."
"Well, you all better be careful, because you have us as competition too," Jeff joked as he, Ivan, and the rest of The Warblers left the theatre.
