The Journey To Regionals

We were all in Mr Shue's apartment to discuss a set list for regionals.

"No one wants any pizza? All right, well, uh, let's get started. Thank you for coming to the first annual New Directions' Regionals' set list nominations party." Shue says as we all sit on the sofa.

"What's the point, Mr. Shue? Coach Sylvester's one of the judges. She's gonna crush us." Artie mutters.

"Artie, you don't know that."

"Yes, we do. She told us at Cheerios practice." I tell the group.

"Yeah, she said, "I'm going to crush Glee Club."" Britt adds on.

"A whole freaking year. All that hard work for nothing." Puck complains as I lay my head on his shoulder.

Tina starts to cry and says "I'm sorry. I just really love you guys. 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."

"Wait. Who says it's going to be over?" Finn asks.

"Please. You think Puck and Olivia are going to even acknowledge my existence once we're not in Glee Club together anymore?" Mercedes asks finn.

"She has a point." I say.

"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 asks.

"Mr. Schuester, Finn and I have something we want to say to you." Rachel says as he walks into the room.

"Me first. Have a seat. Nine months ago, there were five of you in here. And we sucked. I mean, we really sucked. Bad. One day, all of you are going to be gone. And all of this, all of us will be nothing but a hazy memory. It will take you a second to remember everyone's name. Someone will have to remind you of the songs we sung, the solos you got or didn't get. Life only really has one beginning and one end, and the rest is just a whole lot of middle. And I love you guys too much to let you not make the most of it. Now, I was going to quit once, but you guys brought me back with "Don't Stop Believing." It was a nine, but we are going to make it a ten." Will says.

"We're doing "Don't Stop" at Regionals?" I ask.

"And then some. We are doing a Journey medley. Because who cares what happens when we get there when the getting there has been so much fun? Rachel? You had something you wanted to say?" He asks.

"Just that we're all really glad you didn't become an accountant." She tells him with a smile on her face.

It was the day of the competition and we were all in the green room. Aural Intensity were preforming and they were really good.

"A mash up of Olivia Newton-John and Josh Groban. Are you kidding me?! Somebody tipped them off about the judges." I complain.

"Guys, we can't get distracted by what the other teams are doing." Rachel tries to cheer us up.

"We just got to keep our heads in the game and focus."

"Even though we know we can't win?" I ask.

"Yes. 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." Will replies.
