Aimeé fixed her Dalton blazer and noticed her hands trembling. She sighed quietly, trying to calm herself.

Even though she and the Warblers became national champions for two consecutive years, she was still nervous since they were competing against fellow powerhouses like Vocal Adrenaline and Portland Scale Blazers, and the talented New Directions.

The three choir groups were already done performing and they went all out. She was very proud of Blaine for his dancing skills, which improved drastically.

She was standing at the side of the stage, fidgeting with her hands when she suddenly heard someone whistle. She stopped fidgeting and looked up to see Sebastian at the other side of the stage, smiling warmly at her.

The other Warblers walked behind him, grinning like idiots and giving her thumbs up.

She smiled happily at them as her nervousness turned into confidence at the sight of them.

"And now, let us welcome the defending national champions from Dalton Academy in Westerville, Ohio. The Warblers!"

As the audience cheered loudly, the lights on stage were turned off. The Warblers walked towards the three stepped stairs and hummed.

Sebastian started singing as he and Aimeé walked towards the stage with two spotlights shined directly on them.

She may be the face I can't forget
A trace of pleasure or regret
May be the treasure
Or the price I have to pay

Aimeé walked past the Warblers as Sebastian stared lovingly at her.

She may be the song that summer sings
Maybe the chill that autumn brings
Maybe a hundred different things
Within the measure of a day

Aimeé stood in the middle of the stage as Sebastian walked towards her and held her hand.

She may be the beauty or the beast
Maybe the famine or the feast
May turn each day into a heaven or a hell

Aimeé and Sebastian faced each other, their eyes full of love for one another.

She may be the mirror of my dreams
The smile reflected in the stream
She may not be what she may seem
Inside her shell

Sebastian pulled Aimeé to slow dance with him as the two spotlight shined on them and followed their movements.

She who always seems so happy in a crowd,
Whose eyes can be so private and so proud
No ones allowed to see them when they cry
She may be the love that cannot hope to last
May come to me from shadows of the past
That I'd remember till the day I die
She may be the reason I survive
The why and wherefore I'm alive
The one I'll care for
Through the rough and ready years
Me, I'll take her laughter and her tears
And make them all my souvenirs
For where she goes I've got to be
The meaning of my life is She
