It was the day before Nationals, and the Glee Club were arriving early at school for final rehearsals before flying out to Chicago that afternoon.

However, Rachel was noticeably absent. She was not feeling well, and had no idea what was wrong with her. So in case she was infectious, she decided to say at home in bed.

As the students arrived, they noticed that Principal Figgins was talking earnestly with Mr Schue.

"You're probably wondering what I'm doing here," he announced once all the students had arrived. "I have business to attend to in Chicago, so I will be flying out with you this afternoon. I may even have time to see your performance."

Turning to Mr Schue, he said "I hear the Troubletones are performing a number by Pee Exclamation Mark Nnk. I'd very much like to hear it."

"Sure thing," Mr Schue said as the band started to play 'What About Us.'

La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da

Da-da-da

We are searchlights, we can see in the dark

We are rockets, pointed up at the stars

We are billions of beautiful hearts

And you sold us down the river too far

What about us?

What about all the times you said you had the answers?

What about us?

What about all the broken happy ever afters?

What about us?

What about all the plans that ended in disaster?

What about love? What about trust?

What about us?

We are problems that want to be solved

We are children that need to be loved

We were willin', we came when you called

But man, you fooled us, enough is enough, oh

What about us?

What about all the times you said you had the answers?

What about us?

What about all the broken happy ever afters?

Oh, what about us?

What about all the plans that ended in disaster?

Oh, what about love? What about trust?

What about us?

Oh, what about us?

What about all the plans that ended in disaster?

What about love? What about trust?

What about us?

Sticks and stones, they may break these bones

But then I'll be ready, are you ready?

It's the start of us, waking up come on

Are you ready? I'll be ready

I don't want control, I want to let go

Are you ready? I'll be ready
