Rachel P.O.V
----------------------------------------
"Chris, Mommy and Daddy have to go to Chicago for a bit. We will miss you." I say to my little boy as I dress him in the morning. Today is the day we head out to Chicago for Nationals. Rumours have been going around saying that Jesse is still going to Nationals with Vocal Adrenaline. At least Chris isn't coming.
"Hey Rach. You ready?" Finn asks.
"Yup." I say as Finn picks up my suitcase.
"Let's go." Finn says and pecks my lips. Carole takes Chris off me after giving Finn a hug. She gives me a hug. Burt hugs me and Finn too.
"Come on you two." Kurt says, looking at his phone in one hand and his extremely large suitcase is in his other hand.
"We've go to get to the bus." I say.
"No. Blaine and Cedes just texted me. Mr Schue is picking everyone up at their houses." Kurt says.
A bus horn blasts out and we run to the bus.
----------------------------------
"Welcome To The Annual Showchoir Nationals 2012!" The announcer says.
After about 4 performances, we're up.
We're performing a group performance of a Chris Brown song and then a
"The McKinley High New Directions from Lima, Ohio!" The announcer shouts.
The music starts and Santana walks on.
"Dearly beloved, if this love only exists in my dreams...don't wake me up." She says/sings.
Artie rolls on as Santana walks to the side with everyone else.
"Too much light in this window, don't wake me up
Only coffee no sugar, inside my cup
If I wake and you're here still, give me a kiss
I wasn't finished dreaming, about your lips" Artie sings.
We all walk on as Artie sings the chorus.
"Don't wake me up, up, up, up up, up [x3]
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me..
Don't wake me up [x4]
Don't wake me up, up, up, up, up, up
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me.." Artie sings.
"So much life in the city, you won't believe
Been awake for some days now, no time to sleep
If your heart is a pillow, this love's the bed
Tell me what is the music, inside my head" Mercedes sings.
"Don't wake me up, up, up, up up, up [x3]
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me..
Don't wake me up [x4]
Don't wake me up, up, up, up, up, up
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me.." Sam sings.
"I don't wanna fall, fall, fall, fall asleep no,
I don't wanna fall unless I'm falling for you
[x4]" Blaine sings.
"Don't wake me up, up, up, up up, up [x3]
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me..
Don't wake me up [x4]
Don't wake me up, up, up, up, up, up
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me.." We all sing.
The crowd cheers as a few stage hands bring out three stools. Mercedes, Tina and Santana sit on the stools. The rest of us sit on the stage.
[Santana:]
"Regrets collect like old friends
Here to relive your darkest moments
I can see no way, I can see no way
And all of the ghouls come out to play"
[Tina:]
"Every demon wants his pound of flesh
But I like to keep some things to myself
I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the dawn"
[Mercedes:]
"And I've been a fool and I've been blind
I can never leave the past behind
I can see no way, I can see no way"
[Tina and Mercedes:]
"I'm always dragging that horse around
Our love is pastured such a mournful sound"
[Mercedes:]
"Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground"
[Santana:]
"So I like to keep my issues strong
But it's always darkest before the dawn"
[Tina, Mercedes, and Santana:]
"Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh whoa"
[Tina and Mercedes:]
"And I am done with my graceless heart
So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart"
[Tina, Santana, and Mercedes:]
"'Cause I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before"
[Santana:]
"the dawn"
[Tina and Mercedes:]
"Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa"
[Tina, Santana, and Mercedes:]
"Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh whoa"
[Santana:]
"And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back"
[Mercedes:]
"And given half the chance would I take any of it back"
[Tina:]
"It's a fine romance but it's left me so undone"
[Tina, Santana, and Mercedes:]
"It's always darkest before the dawn"
[Tina, Santana, Mercedes:]
"Ooh hoo oooh hoo..."
[Santana:]
"And I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't"
[Tina and Santana:]
"So here's to drinks in the dark at the end of my rope"
[Santana:]
"And I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to hope"
[Tina, Santana, and Mercedes:]
"It's a shot in the dark aimed right at my throat, cause"
[Mercedes:]
"Looking for heaven,"
[Tina, Mercedes, and Santana:]
"found the devil in me
Looking for heaven,"
[Mercedes:]
"found the devil in me
But what the hell"
[Tina, Mercedes, and Santana:]
"I'm gonna let it happen to me"
[Tina and Santana: (With Mercedes belting):]
"Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh whoa
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh whoa
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh whoa"
The girls get off their seats and bow. We all join in with their bow.
---------------------------------------
Finn P.O.V
--------------------------------------
As we leave the stage, I spot Jesse.
"Hey Rachel, Where the hell is my kid?" Jesse shouts.
"What kid?" Rachel asks.
"That kid you were pregnant with that Finn is going to raise. HE'S MINE!" Jesse shouts.
"I'm not letting you any where near my child." Rachel shouts.
"He's my child!" Jesse shouts.
"I think it's best if you leave, Jesse." I say as I step in.
"He's not your fricking son, Finn!" Jesse shouts as he walks off.
Rachel falls into my arms, crying. It's just like what happened at Regionals. I just hope we win.
----------------------------------------
I walk into the audience just before Vocal Adrenaline perform with Blaine and Sam.
"Now, from Akron, Ohio, Carmel High's Vocal Adrenaline!" The announcer says.
The music starts and some girl goes on in high heels and a big black dress. Wait, is that a dude?
They sing Nicki Minaj's 'Starships' followed by The Who's 'Pinball Wizard'. I later find out that the lead singer, Wade, dressed in drag for Nationals.
Blaine, Sam and I watch the remander of performances but all that goes around in my head is 'Who told Jesse about him being Chris's dad?'
------------------------------------------
We walk up to the board that says who's in the top 10.
"Who should go up and look?" Mr Schue asks.
"I will." I say. I walk to the board.
"What place are we?" Kurt asks.
"First." I say.
"What?" Tina asks.
"We came first!" I shout in excitement.
We cheer and hug each other. I kiss Rachel. All the guys kiss their girlfriends (Blaine kisses Kurt).
------------------------------------------
Kurt P.O.V
-----------------------------------------
We walk into school to see everyone cheering as we enter with our first place trophy. We've never been popular but all of us are leaving in a week after graduation. All of us have dreams. All of us have futures.
"How about one last celebration song?" Rachel asks as we enter the choir room.
"What song?" Artie asks.
"Fun's 'We Are Young'. I think everyone knows that song." Rachel says.
"Hit it!" Finn says.
[Rachel:]
"Give me a second, I, I need to get my story straight
My friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the Empire State
My lover he’s waiting for me just across the bar
My seat’s been taken by some sunglasses asking bout a scar, and"
[Finn:]
"I know I gave it to you months ago
I know you’re trying to forget
But between the drinks and subtle things
The holes in my apologies, you know
I’m trying hard to take it back"
[Sam:]
"So if by the time the bar closes"
[Sam and Quinn:]
"And you feel like falling down
I’ll carry you home"
[Finn, Rachel and New Directions:]
"Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun"
[Santana, Mercedes, Brittany and Sugar:]
"Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun"
[Santana:]
"Now I know that I'm not all that you got
I guess that I
I just thought maybe we could find new ways to fall apart"
[Rachel:]
"But our friends are back
So let's raise a cup
'Cause I found someone to carry me home"
[Finn w/ New Directions:]
"Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun"
[Mercedes:]
"Whoa"
[New Directions:]
"Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun"
[Quinn w/ New Directions]
"Carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Just carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Just carry me home tonight (Nananananana)"
[New Directions Boys:]
"The world is on my side
I have no reason to run
So will someone come and carry me home tonight"
[Santana:]
"The angels never arrived
But I can hear the choir
So will someone come and carry me home"
[Rachel:]
"Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun"
[Mercedes:]
"We are young, yeah"
[New Directions:]
"Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun"
[Rachel and Finn:]
"So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I’ll carry you home tonight"
We finish to clapping. We all turn to face the entrance to the choir room and see Mr Schue walking through, clapping and smiling.
"Group Hug!" Sugar shouts and we all hug with Mr Schue.
In a week, we'll all be gone.
