It wasn't supposed to be this way

Take Me Home Tonight Part Two

She had ended close to the stage and quickly came the beat of the next song. This song was slow and honestly she needed to catch her breath before the ending group number because this baby is KILLER. The first beat of the doom doom dum doom started and she watched as Finn all glorious and sexy looking began walking towards her. Her hormones must of been raging because wow does he always look this good? Finn started the song off "Take that look of worry. I'm an ordinary man. They don't tell me nothing, So, I find out what I can. There's a fire that's been burning. Right outside my door. I can't see but I feel it And it helps to keep me warm." He was slowly making his way over to her and she followed in the same slow path. Finn continued the song "So I, I don't mind, No I, I don't mind." She harmonized with Finn. One of those things that gives you goosebumps from the harmonization just working so well together.

Rachel took over the next verse. "Seems so long I've been waiting, Still don't know what for. There's no point escaping. I don't worry anymore. I can't come out to find you. I don't like to go outside. They can't turn off my feelings, Like they're turning off a light." She sang and her and Finn ended up walking closer to each other.. waiting for the final end of the song to get close. They brought the harmony back together of their voices. "But I, I don't mind, No I, I don't mind. Oh I, I don't mind, No I, I don't mind." As they got close to each other they pushed off each other and sang the best part of the song " So take, take me home 'Cause I don't remember, Take, take me home 'Cause I don't remember, Take, take me home.Oh Lord, 'Cause I've been a prisoner all my life And I can say to you." They sang perfectly letting each of their voices showcase and allowed for perfect representation of the song. Finn started once again allowing the slow sensual walk toward Rachel. "Take that look of worry, Mine's an ordinary life. Working when it's daylightAnd sleeping when it's night, I've got no far horizonsAnd I wish upon a star, They don't think that I listen, Oh but I know who they are." Rachel continued her walk sweetly over to him. She was imaging they were the only ones in the room. "And I, I don't mind, No I, I don't mind. Oh I, I don't mind. No I, I don't mind." They harmonized these lyrics once again.

This left Rachel to sing and show her vocals for the last part of the song. "So take, take me home, 'Cause I don't remember. Take, take me home, 'Cause I don't remember. Take, take me home, 'Cause I don't remember. Take, take me home, oh lord. Well I've been a prisoner all my life And I can say to you." She hit the notes perfectly and knew the audience was hooked and probably appreciated them doing a take on an older song. They finished off the last part of the song allowing Rachel to sing a line and then Finn. Rachel sang all the I don't remember and Finn sang all the take me homes. Leaving them to finish each other off beautiful.
"But I don't remember, Take, take me home
'Cause I don't remember, Take, take me home
'Cause I don't remember, Take, take me home
'Cause I don't remember, Take, take me home
'Cause I don't remember, Take, take me home
'Cause I don't remember, Take, take me home
'Cause I don't remember, Take, take me home
'Cause I don't remember, Take, take me home
'Cause I don't remember, Take, take me home
'Cause I don't remember." They let their voices fade and as they quickly ended up with Rachel's hand on his chest and his hand over hers the crowd began cheering. Clapping was heard echoing backstage, but they weren't done yet. The beat quickly started for the next song and out came the whole cast. This time they were all going to be featured.

Blaine started off the singing this time. His voice epic and ready for the song waiting for him. "I feel the hunger, it's a hunger, That tries to keep a man awake at night, Are you the answer? I shouldn't wonder. When I can feel you whet my appetite
With all the power you're releasing
It isn't safe to walk the city streets alone
Anticipation runs through me
Let's find the keys and turn this engine on" he allowed for transition of Kurt and his voice to combined on this one.

"I can feel you breathe
I can feel your heart beat faster. Take me home tonight. I don't wanna let you go 'til you see the light. Take me home tonight. Listen, honey, just like Ronnie sang, Be my little baby, oh, ho, oh." They finished off their part of the song and made way for the dynamic trio. Santana started the first line. "I get frightened in all this darkness. I get nightmares I hate to sleep alone." She looked over at Brittany who then sang "I need some company, a guardian angel
To keep me warm when the cold winds blow." She allowed for an entrance for mike to do a cool dance move in front of everyone that looked like wind rolling. "I can feel you breathe. I can feel your heart beat faster" Quinn sang and then all lead into them singing together.

"Take me home tonight. I don't wanna let you go 'til you see the light. Take me home tonight
Listen, honey, just like Ronnie sang, Be my little baby, Be my little baby, Just like Ronnie sang, I said
Just like Ronnie sang, Be my little baby, Baby, my darlin." Next lead to puck who came up to the front and let his smooth voice flow. "I feel the hunger
It's a hunger!" He said and Artie rolled over to start his turn. "Take me home tonight. I don't wanna let you go 'til you see the light." This lead to tina and Mercedes singing "Take me home tonight
Listen, honey, just like Ronnie sang. Be my little baby. I don't wanna let you go 'til you see the light. Take me home tonight." This ended up leading back to Blaine to finish the song out with his voice. "Listen, honey, just like Ronnie sang
Be my little baby, Be my darling
Take me home tonight. Listen, honey, just like Ronnie sang, Be my little baby. I don't wanna let you go 'til you see the light. So take me, Take me home tonight." He sang out and they all ended up with their bodies in perfect line formation with their heads done and arms down with their hands formed into fists. They looked up and everyone had stood up, some whistling, some clapping, some cheering, but wow it was a great feeling.

This was the first time Rachel didn't feel like she was the outcast, the freak, the pregnant girl, Finns Hudson's baby momma, instead she was a performer, a singer, a dancer, and a winner! She took a deep and shaky breath and turned over and hugged Finn and boy were they both sweaty.. who knew the most minimal amount of dancing could make you sweat so damn bad. Well basically anything Rachel did now made her sweat. They bowed in front of everyone and received a standing ovation. Honestly Rachel was so proud of herself. She literally had been down in the dumps for so long and she felt like she was on top of the world in this moment. They were soon moved over to the side of the stage and joined by the other three teams who competed. Rachel reached down and grabbed Finns hand and squeezed it. Maybe this was it! Maybe this is what Rachel Berry needed to be herself again.
