*Beca's POV*

"Welcome to the Riff Off!" The familiar words rang through my ears. It was this time of year again. And this time, we were going to win, or at least not lose on a stupid technicality. I couldn't see the High notes, or whatever they were, guess they couldn't make it. Jesse and the Treble Makers were too our right, The BU Harmonics to our left and the Sonics opposite. 

"And the first category is...TV themes!" 

"Oh!" Stacie cried and ran forward, only to be beaten by Jesse. "Shit" She mumbled as she returned. 

So no one told you life was going to be this way. 
Your job's a joke, you're broke, you're love life's DOA. 
It's like you're always stuck in second gear, 
Well, it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year. 

But-

Rheed from the Sonics then came forward

But I love you more than words can say 
I can't count the reasons I should stay 

"Guys! I've got one, hang on." I whispered turning around. 


Give me some rope 
Tie me to dream 
Give me the hope 
To run out of steam 
Somebody-


I quickly ran up and took over

Somebody save me,
Let your warm hands break right through it,
Somebody save me,
I don’t care how you do it, just 
Stay, stay
C’mon, I’ve been waiting for you

The crowd cheered as we finished. The BU Harmonics were eliminated for not coming up with anything. Our whole group had confident smiles plastered on their faces. This was going well.

"And the next category is...Songs Ruined by Glee." 

**Rheed's POV**

"..Songs Ruined by Glee."

Connor took one look at me and I knew exactly what he was thinking. I gave him a slight nod indicating him to take the lead. 

You're insecure,
Don't know what for,
You're turning heads when you walk through the door,
Don't need make-up,
To cover up,
Being the way that you are is enough,

I then took over the lead

Everyone else in the room can see it,
Everyone else but you, 

Baby- 

The Black girl from the Trebles then stepped in. Not trying be racist or anything, Beca just never mentioned his name. 

baby 
Oooh, baby, baby 
Baby, baby 

Get up on this! 


"Well that's a suggesstive song choice." Connor laughed as I rejoined the group. I jsut shrugged my shoulders. 

Salt and Pepa's here, and we're in effect 
Want you-


One of the new Bellas, Shannon, i think her name was, jumped in

-you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you'll only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
'cause we'll never be wrong
Together we can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart
