"Thanks for coming. After your brazen escalation of our growing dispute , which we were willing to put to rest, we decided the only way to truly funkify you is to show you one thing you can't do. So enjoy." Rachel says to the Vocal Adrenaline.

"See you folks at Regionals!" Puck simply said to them as we walk out from the auditorium leaving Vocal Adrenaline speechless.
I walk out from the auditorium and smile then high five with the others. We laugh and walk to the choir room. A simple revenge that totally make them speechless.
~~
I'm laying down on Finn's bed as Finn is laying down half on top of me and hugging me leaning his head on my chest and I'm pretty sure he is asleep.
I just can put my arms around his back and kiss his head. It's funny to have a boyfriend who lives next door like this. I can come for a cuddle everytime I want.
I look at Finn and tap on his sleeve. Finn just moves his head a bit but still sleeping. I smile and kiss his forehead. He looks so cute while sleeping like this.
Suddenly his phone is vibrating. I take his phone from the side table and he received a text from Rachel. I read the whole text and it seems like they're flirting at one another.
I turn my face at Finn and look at him. How could he did this to me. This noon he told me that he love me now he flirted with another girl.
"Hey, you're still here." Finn smiles at me.
"Well, you locked me up. I can't come out." I said to him.
"Are you okay?" Finn frowns at me.
"Yes I'm fine." I simply said.
"I know you. We've been dating since we were toddler I guess. Now tell me what's going on? Whatever I did I'm sorry." Finn says and gets up.
I let out a sigh and sit up and lean my back against the bed board. "I want you to answer me honestly." I said to him.
"What is it?"
"Do you mean it what you say this noon in the school hallways?" I raise my eyebrows at him.
"Yes I do. Wait, you don't want to go all crazy on me like saying that you're pregnant or anything right?" Finn frowns at me.
"I saw your text with Rachel." I said to him.
"Oh..." Finn simply nod.
"I guess by the way you said 'oh' it means that you did not expect me to see that nor you wouldn't tell me about it." I simply said and get up from his bed.
"Wait, let me explain." Finn says to me.
"Why don't you tell that to Rachel?" I frown at him and walk out from his bedroom.
"Paris, stop. It was just a text." Finn says and walks behind me.
"Just leave me alone." I said to him and make a little run to my house.
I walk into my house quickly. "Hey, where have you been?" Dad smiles at me.
I didn't answer him and run straight to upstairs and walk to my bedroom. I get in and close the door then sit down on my bed.
I take Shiro and place him on my lap while rubbing his tummy. I turn my face at my window and looking at Finn's window until he turns off the lights.
I lay down on my bed and pull up my blanket then turn off the lights. I can't believe that Finn could do this to me. I was expecting him to be a guy who wouldn't hurt me but he flirted with another girl.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I walk down in the hallways while holding my book and glare at Rachel as I walk down passing her. I roll my eyes and keep walking until I get to my locker and put my book inside.
"What's with the long face? Where is your cute smiling face?" Luca smiling at me and standing next to my locker.
"Just have an argument with my boyfriend, Finn." I said to him and look at my book.
"Oh so that quarterback is your boyfriend.. I see. The girl is the striker and the boy is the quarterback." Luca chuckles.
"Yeah." I giggle.
"Hey, can I talk to you for a second?" Finn walks to me.
"Nope." I simply said and shut my locker then walk away.
"Paris, come on." Finn takes my hand and stop my way then walks lead me to the corner.
"What else do you want to talk about? That I'm not allowed to talk with other guy but you can flirt with Rachel? A girl that you said freak you out?" I frown at him.
Finn sighs and takes his phone then type something. "I block her number and delete it from my contact list." Finn says to me and show me his phone. "Look, I'd rather to lose a chance to talk with other girls than losing you. I'm sorry." Finn half smiled at me.
"It's alright." I smile at him and hug him.
Finn hugs me back then we slowly pulled away. "Things like this will never happen again okay. I promise." Finn smiles at me.
"Okay.." I nod and smile back at him.
"Walk you to lunch?" He smiles at me and showing me his hand.
"Sure." I nod and take his hand then walk with him in the hallways as we intertwine our fingers.
I smile and keep walking in the hallways until we get to the cafeteria and pick up our food. We pay for our food and then sit down on a table with the others.
"Hey, guys." I smile at them and sit down.
"Where did you get that jersey?" Puck frowns at Finn.
"Mr. Schue took me to Reds Game last week." Finn simply answered and eat his food.
"That's unfair. How come he only took you?" Puck frowns.
"Well, it supposed to be our date night but Paris had to stay at her mom's. Beside I never watch a real game." Finn says to him.
"So you had a date with her dad instead?" Mercedes chuckles.
"Kind of." Finn chuckles.
I turn my face as Rachel walks to us and sits down right across me. I take a glance at her and she took glances at Finn. Finn is just ignoring her and keep eating his food.
I don't want to be a girlfriend who hold him too tight. I don't mind if Finn talk to her about glee club but if they start flirt like what I found, I'm not okay with that.
~~
I walk away from the field and walk to the bleachers. I sit down there and open my backpack taking a bottle of mineral water from it.
Suddenly someone show me a face towel. I turn my face and Luca is smiling at me then sits down next to me.
"That's new. Not used so you won't get freckles if acnes." He chuckles.
"Thanks anyway." I smile at him and wipe my face. "Which one is your brother?"
"That one who is special." He smiles and point to a down syndrome boy.
"I see. What's his name?" I turn my face at him.
"Cole." He simply answered.
"Luca, let's go home!" Cole shouts while running around a little to us. "Hello." He smiles at me.
"Hi, I'm Paris Schuester. We are friends at school." I smile at him and show him my hand.
"Girls at my school avoid to touch my hand." He shook his head.
"But this is how we supposed to greet each other when we are introducing ourselves." I smile at him.
"Is it okay? I'm not contagious though." He said to me nervously.
"Yes it is okay. I'm Paris." I smile at him and showing him my hand.
"I'm Cole." He smiles back at me and shake my hand.
"Nice to meet you." I smile at him.
"Are you Luca's girlfriend?" He laughs.
"No, I'm not. We knew each other because his locker is under mine." I giggle.
"Oh this is the girl that you like? She is really beautiful. You better watch out, brother because I might steal her." Cole laughs softly at Luca.
"I have a boyfriend." I giggle.
"Well, you finished your practice right? Let's just go home. Mom is making meatloaf." Luca smiles at him.
"I love meatloaf!" Cole says excitedly. "Bye Paris!" He smiles at me and waves his hand as he walks away.
"I told you, he is special." Luca smiles at me and gets up. "I will see you around." He smiles and waves as he walks away.
I smile and shake my head. Some of people will feel ashamed having special siblings but I know in the other part of the world some of them are proud having special siblings.
"Hey sweetie, I'm so sorry I'm late. I was stuck at school meeting board." Dad walks to me.
"No, it's okay. I just finished about ten minutes ago." I said to him.
"Okay, let's go home. Shiro must be hungry." Dad says and takes my backpack.
"Daddy, what it feels like to be only child?" I ask him while walk down next to him.
"Like you. Lonely. I have none to tell about my secret nor prank them. Why?" Dad turns his face at me.
"Is it weird if I say that I wish I have a brother or sister?" I chuckle.
"Honey, that's not weird at all." Dad chuckles and put his arm around my shoulder.
"And I wonder how people can feel proud and not ashamed at all from having specialty siblings." I said to him.
"What do you mean?" Dad turns his face at me.
"Well, I met Luca. He was here taking his brother to soccer practice and his brother has specialty. He has down syndrome and he wasn't ashamed at all of introducing him to me." I said to dad.
"Well, that's because siblings is made for life." Dad smiles at me.
"But some people will be ashamed having siblings like that." I said to him.
"That's why you shouldn't have judge the book by its cover. And it seems like someone is having crush on that Luca guy." Dad chuckles.
"I have a boyfriend, remember?" I chuckle. "He is just a friend." I smile at him.
"Well, you see that not all cool kids are bad kids." Dad says to me and opens the car door.
I nod and open the car door then get into the car. Dad was right. We should never judge people by its look. I mean, Luca is like the coolest kid at school but he didn't ashamed showing off his brother.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm sitting down on the couch in the living room of my house with the others. We just find out that Coach Sylvester will be one of the judges for regionals this Saturday and it bring our confidence down.
"Look, who open the back door for me." Finn chuckles and holding Shiro then sits down next to me.
"No one wants any pizza?" Dad walks to us and chuckles. "All right, well, uh, let’s get started. Thank you for coming to the first annual New Directions’ Regionals’ set list nominations party."
"What’s the point, Mr. Schue? Coach Sylvester’s one of the judges. She’s gonna crush us." Artie says to dad.
"Artie, you don’t know that." Dad shakes his head and frowns.
"Yes, we do. She told us at Cheerios practice." Santana simply said.
"Yeah, she said, “I’m going to crush Glee Club.” Brittany added.
"A whole freaking year. All that hard work for nothing." Puck sighs.
"I’m sorry. I just really love you guys." Tina starts crying. "You know how many Facebook friends I had before I joined Glee Club? Two. My parents. Rachel was right. Being a part of something special– it made me special. I just can’t believe it’s going to be over in a week." Tina shakes her head.
"Wait. Who says it’s going to be over?" Finn frowns.
"Please. You think Puck and Santana are going to even acknowledge my existence once we’re not in Glee Club together anymore?" Mercedes says to us.
"She has a point." Puck simply nod.
"Mr. Schuester? Do you think instead of nominating songs, we can just… all go around the room and talk about things that we loved about Glee Club this year?" Rachel turns her face at dad.
"Alright sure." Dad sighs and sits down on a chair. "Who wants to start first?"
"Will, why you didn't drop Paris to my place?" Mom suddenly walks in. "Oh are you guys having some kind of little fun around here?"
"Oh I completely lost of track. I'm so sorry, Terri. We are planning about the setlist. I was gonna to drop her tomorrow." Dad gets up and walks to her.
"You are so irresponsible!" Mom yells at him.
"Here we go again. Enjoy the live show of world war part 3." I mumbled.
"I'm irresponsible? You can call me anything but irresponsible. When did the last time you took her to soccer practice? When did the last time you took her to art class?" Dad says to her.
"I bought her groceries, I stayed up all night made a costume play for her because you couldn't do it. And now you're calling me irresponsible?" Mom frowns at him.
I shake my head and face palming. I mean I'm only child and they already fought about me a lot. What if they have ten kids? I let out a sigh and get up from my seat then walk to the family room and check out the groceries mom brought.
"Look, I'm so sorry. I didn't tell you before. But I promise tomorrow I will drop her to your place." Dad says to her.
"Good and I'm taking her to dentist." Mom simply said.
"Dentist is in my job desk. It's on Monday." Dad says to her.
"Dentist is on Friday, dad!" I roll my eyes.
"Wait, since when?" Dad frowns and turns his face at me.
"You changed the schedule because Monday is time for my art class." I raise my eyebrow.
"Oh right." Dad sighs.
"See? I win." Mom grins at dad. "Alright, I will go home. Tomorrow if your dad forget to drop you off again, just take a cab." Mom says to me and hugs me.
"Okay. Will do." I giggle and hug her back.
"Goodbye." Mom smiles at me and walks to the door.
"Bye, Terri!" Dad shouts and shakes his head.
"Pathetic." I laugh and take the grocery bags to the kitchen.
Maybe at first I feel so desperate having my parents getting divorced but right now I took the benefits of it. Like I got double money every months so now I don't need to babysit very often anymore.
~~
"How come you know the button when you don't even look at it?" I chuckle at Finn.
"Using PlayStation stick like this also have rules like typing on the keyboard computer." Finn says to me. "So when I don't look at it, I knew it."
"Finn, I'm sleepy." I yawn.
"You can sleep. I don't mind at all." Finn says to me.
"Okay." I nod and close my eyes slowly.
I'm laying down on the couch in Finn's house as he is laying down behind me spooning me while playing video games. His mom is out so I'm staying here with him.
I could that Finn is having his chin on top of my head and hugging me from behind. I'm glad that I have him in my arms. He is not just a boyfriend but also a best friend that I could talk about everything.
I open my eyes and turn around facing him. "One more minute." Finn says to me until he put the PlayStation stick away.
"I have a question for you." I said to him.
"I didn't do anything wrong this week. I think." Finn frowns at me.
"It's not that. So far, we only had one fight." I giggle. "It's, how could you dealt with your mom dating Kurt's father?"
"I just want her to be happy. I never seen her that happy since I was born. So that's my reason." Finn answered. "I'm here. You don't need to think too much or worry too much anymore." Finn pulls me closer to him and cuddle him.
"I even haven't say that." I chuckle.
"You don't have to tell me. I knew that." Finn smiles at me and hugs me tightly.
"I remember something." I grin at him and get up.
"Where are you going?" Finn frowns at me.
"I have to tell dad something." I said to him.
"You're not going to tell him about us getting married, aren't you?" Finn frowns at me.
"No silly. It's about Regionals. I have a perfect original song that we can sing together as a duet." I grin at him and cup his cheeks pecks on his lips. "I will call you later." I smile at him and walk to the door.
I walk out from his house and turn my way to next door and get into my house quickly. "Don't slam the door!" Dad shouts.
"Daddy, I have a perfect thing to say to you." I grin at him.
"What is it?" Dad sighs and sits up on the couch in family room.
I walk to the bookshelf and take some paper that I've been hiding. "Can we perform this for regionals? It's an original song written by me." I grin at him and give him the music sheets.
"But we will have Finn and Rachel sing a duet." Dad says to me.
"Finn is my boyfriend. You want my boyfriend sing a ballad with other girl? Why don't you just go with me for once. I'm your daughter not Rachel. It seems like she is your favorite now not me." I sigh.
"Honey, not that." Dad half smiled. "We all want to win."
"And you think that I'm not good enough?" I frown at him.
"It's not that." Dad sighs. "We haven't rehearsal with this song."
"Can you just one time take a faith in me? Please? I'm asking you only this time. People are worrying about glee club ending, but I don't. I just want to sing and dance on that stage because I love doing it. All Rachel cares is about herself. She cares about glee club because once it ended, there will be no chance for her to pursue her dream. She doesn't care if you lose your job or anything, but I am. Remember when she came to mom after you told her that you were going to be an accountant to provide our family? She doesn't even care about your struggle. I babysat every week because I don't want to make you more struggling. Besides she got a chance to sing on the other song." I said to him and shrug.
"You're right." Dad nod and sigh. "But you and Finn have to rehearsal even harder now since we are really close to Regionals." Dad says to me.
"Yes! Thank you." I grin at him.
"This is such a beautiful song, actually." Dad says while reading the paper.
"Yeah write it down deep from my heart." I chuckle.
"Okay now you sleep. It's kinda late." Dad smiles at me.
"Okay good night." I smile back at him and walk away.
"Good night." Dad shouts.
I walk upstairs and turn my way to my bedroom. Finally I get a chance to sing a song on stage with Finn. I don't mean to being possessive girlfriend, I trust him but I don't trust Rachel. And I caught her many times was trying to get Finn.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"And now, our panel of judges. He’s an international musical sensation, a platinum recording artist 20 times over, the inimitable Mr. Josh Groban! She’s a four-time Grammy winner who starred in the highest-grossing movie musical of all time, Ms. Olivia Newton-John! He’s a two-time local Emmy winner and broadcasting icon, WOHN news anchor Rod Remington! She is fresh off her fifth consecutive National Cheerleading Title and author of the soon-to-be-published memoir, I’m A Winner and You’re Fat, Ohio’s home-grown iconoclast, Coach Sue Sylvester! And now, our first performance of the evening, from Westvale High in scenic Fort Wayne, Indiana, Aural Intensity!"
I'm just sitting down on an armchair in the green room and listening over the PA. I turn my face at Finn as he is sitting down behind me on the head of the armchair.
"A mash up of Olivia Newton-John and Josh Groban. Are you kidding me?! Somebody tipped them off about the judges." Puck frowns at us.
"Guys, we can’t get distracted by what the other teams are doing." Rachel says to us.
"We just got to keep our heads in the game and focus." Finn says to us.
"Even though we know we can’t win?" Santana simply asks.
"Yes." Dad walks in. "If this is only about winning for you guys, then I owe you all an apology, because I’ve failed you. And we should just all go home, because it means we’ve already lost. Besides,we have got something that the other groups don’t." Dad says to us.
"What?" Artie asks.
"Finn’s dancing." Dad laughs and points at Finn as everyone is laughing. I cover my mouth with my hand and try to hide my laugh. Finn just chuckles then look confused at us. "Right? Come on. Now let’s get out there. We got two minutes. Aural Intensity’s almost finished. Bring it in. Come on. Come on. Let’s go, go, go, go, go and…"
We are standing up from our seat and huddle up making a show circle. I smile and walk out from the green room then turn my way to the backstage.
"Are you ready?" I smile at Finn.
"You don't need to worry. You are going to be amazing." Finn smiles back at me.
"You too." I smile at him and hug him.
Finn hugs me back until we pulled away a bit and he kisses my forehead. I smile and walk to my side ready to start our performance.
"Ladies and Gentleman, our second competitors, winner of the Central Ohio Sectional, McKinley High’s New Directions!"
Finn:
You know I want you
It's not a secret I try to hide
I know you want me
So don't keep saying our hands are tied
You claim it's not in the cards
Fate is pulling you miles away
And out of reach from me
But you're here in my heart
So who can stop me if I decide
That you're my destiny?
What if we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine
Nothing could keep us apart
You'd be the one I was meant to find
It's up to you, and it's up to me
No one can say what we get to be
So why don't we rewrite the stars?
Maybe the world could be ours
Tonight
Paris:
You think it's easy
You think I don't want to run to you
But there are mountains
And there are doors that we can't walk through
I know you're wondering why
Because we're able to be
Just you and me
Within these walls
But when we go outside
You're going to wake up and see that it was hopeless after all
No one can rewrite the stars
How can you say you'll be mine?
Everything keeps us apart
And I'm not the one you were meant to find
It's not up to you
It's not up to me
When everyone tells us what we can be
How can we rewrite the stars?
Say that the world can be ours
Tonight
Finn and Paris:
All I want is to fly with you
All I want is to fall with you
So just give me all of you
Paris (Finn):
It feels impossible (it's not impossible)
Is it impossible?
Finn and Paris:
Say that it's possible
Finn and Paris with New Directions:
How do we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine?
Nothing can keep us apart
'Cause you are the one I was meant to find
It's up to you
And it's up to me
No one can say what we get to be
And why don't we rewrite the stars?
Changing the world to be ours
Paris:
You know I want you
It's not a secret I try to hide
But I can't have you
We're bound to break and my hands are tied
I smile as we ended up our first performance. Finn and I walk to our place for the next choreography. None probably hear my song before but I like the standing ovation.

That's the way you need it
The crowd is getting more excited. I smile and high five with Finn as we are getting ready for our final song. Yes this is dad's favorite song.
Finn:
Just a small town girl
Living in a lonely world
She took the midnight train going anywhere
Rachel:
Just a city boy
Born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train going anywhere
Puck:
A singer in a smoky room
Santana:
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
Puck and Santana:
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on
Artie, Finn, and Rachel:
Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows
Searching in the night
Streetlight
People
Living just to find emotion
Hiding somewhere in the night
Kurt:
Workin' hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Finn and Kurt:
Payin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
Santana:
Some will win
Puck and Santana:
Some will lose
Some are born to sing the blues
Artie and Mercedes:
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows
Searching in the night
Streetlight
People
Living just to find emotion
Hiding somewhere in the night
Mercedes:
Don't stop!
Finn and Rachel with New Directions:
Don't stop believin'
Finn and Rachel:
Hold on to that feelin'
Finn and Rachel with New Directions:
Streetlights
People (Mercedes: Yeah!)
Don't stop believin'
Finn and Rachel:
Hold on to that feeling (Mercedes: Yeah!)
Finn and Rachel with New Directions:
Streetlights
People
Finn, Mercedes, and Rachel with New Directions:
Don't stop!
We ended up our performance with the full house. I smile and turn my face at Finn. I frown when I see Rachel is trying to hug him. I push her away quickly and take Finn's hand and walk lead him to the corner until the curtain lift down and we walk away from the stage.
"You jealous that much?" Finn chuckles and having his arm around me.
"Well, I trust you. I just don't trust her." I said to him as we walk to the green room.
"How could you write that such a beautiful song?" Mercedes smiles at me.
"Thank you. I just have been passionate about writing so I did it." I giggle.
Finn nodge at me and make me turn my head as Quinn is groaning badly. "She is going to giving birth." Finn frowns.
We are running out from the green room and help Quinn. I never get pregnant nor giving birth so I don't know how it feels like but I guess it's hurt because she couldn't stop groaning badly.

I'm standing on the stage with the others. I hold Finn's hand. We are waiting for the winner announcement. I know we couldn't get into the first place because Vocal Adrenaline was really good but I wish for the second place.
"Thank you all for coming. As you all know, glee club is such an important… And I honestly can’t even finish that sentence. So let’s just get to it. The 2010 Midwest Regional Runners-up...." Coach Sylvester opens the envelope and look at us. "From Fort Wayne, Indiana, the not-at-all stupidly-named Aural Intensity!"
The crowd start cheering and applauding. I turn my face at Finn as he is just smiling nervously. I don't know if we could take the first place but I hope we do.
"Very good. And now, your 2010 Midwest Regional Show Choir Champions...." Coach Sylvester says and opens the envelope. "Vocal Adrenaline!"
The crowd even goes wilder. We could just standing on our place and looking sad. We didn't win. We lost. We came in last and glee club is over.
"We didn’t even place." Artie shakes his head.
"It's all over." I mumbled.
Vocal Adrenaline is still enjoying their victory as the crowd is cheering for them. They might win but they're robots who doesn't even have heart.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I walk in the hallways with Finn and looking for my dad for the last performance that we dedicated to him. Actually I can meet him every hours but them.. they probably can't.
We keep walking in the hallways until I see my dad is kissing Miss Pillsbury in the middle of the hallways and glad there was no kids around.
"Okay that's gross." I frown at them and cross my arms on my chest.
"H-hey guys. What's up?" Dad turns his face at us.
"We have something that we want to show you in the choir room." Finn says to him.
"Alright, I have to go." Dad says to Miss Pillsbury and walks lead us.
I turn my face at Miss Pillsbury and glare at her. Finn takes my hand and walks lead me. "I never like that woman." I said to Finn.
"I know." Finn nods.
I sigh and keep walking in the hallways until we turn our way to the choir room and walk in then sit down on our seat.
"Mr. Schuester, we have something to say to you." Rachel raises her hand.
"Me first." Dad says to us and takes a bench then sits down across us. "I have been talking to Principal Figgins lately and turns out that we got another year!" He grins at us.
"What?" Finn frowns.
"Come on, we got another year." Dad laughs.
We are start cheering and applauding happily. Finally glee club get another year and next year I'm sure we will get to Nationals.
"Okay, you guys, I think this is the perfect opportunity for us to start rehearsing for next year’s Sectionals immediately…" Rachel says to us.
"Guys, you’ve all worked really hard this year, and you deserve a break." Dad cuts her off.
"But I have ideas." Rachel shrugs.
"Take the summer off. Have some fun. Oh, but before you go, I have something for you. You all sang for me the other day, so today I’d like to return the favor. Puck, if you’re ready." He smiles at us and takes an ukulele.
Will with Puck:
Ooooo hoooooo hoooooo...
Will:
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I dreamed of
Once in a lullaby... (Puck: lullaby...)
Will with Puck:
Somewhere over the rainbow
Will:
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true... (Puck: come true)
Oh, Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are
Far behind me...
Will with Puck:
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
High above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me...
Will:
Oh, somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why, then, oh, why can't I...? (Puck: I...?)
