Lover

Hold on to Sixteen pt.2

It was now the day of sectionals for the New Directions and they are all standing around the piano in the choir room. They are warming up their voices but some of them are siting down looking over the lyrics getting familiar with the words. "Let's take a few moments to gather our thoughts," Mr Shue says while standing up from the piano seat. "Troubletones are on in five."

Ariel moves away from the piano and sits down at one of the make-up tables to touch up her makeup and attempt to sort her hair out.

"Hello, Will," Shelby says while walking into the choir room with the Troubletones behind her.

"Looking good, ladies!" Mr Shue says while walking over to them.

"We just came to say, may the best glee club win," Shelby says.

"Yes, and just in case that glee club is us, I have convinced Miss Corcoran to consider a contingency plan," Santana says.

"Yes, in the event of a New Direction loss, Troubletones have voted to allow any of you to join us at regionals," Shelby says.

"You're welcome," Sugar says.

"Excuse me?" Mr Shue asks.

"That is incredibly rude, Santana," Finn says.

"We're being nice. It would be rude if I followed you around and every time you took a step, I played a note on a tuba," Santana says.

"But if you do lose, we already have said collectively that we would like Miss Hummel to join us straight away," Shelby says.

Everyone turned to look at Ariel as they thought that she asked to join them. "Hey. I haven't even asked to join them. I didn't realise that they would want me in the Toubletones that badly," Ariel says.

"Thank you for the offer, Miss Corcoran, but right now, we're gonna concentrate on winning this thing," Mr Shue says.

"And we will be winning, Shelby. We've got it in the bag," Quinn says while stepping forward. "Puck here is gonna come through for us. He's such a shining star in every conceivable way. Don't you think?"

"Good luck, everybody. See you on the ice," Shelby says before walking away with the Troubletones behind her.

A few minutes after the Troubletones left, the New Directions headed towards the auditorium and took their seat in the audience to watch the performances. "And now the judges at this year's sectionals here at McKinley High, Department of Motor Vehicles employee of the month, Brandy Englebert!" The announcer said.

She then stands up from the audience and gives a wave to everyone. "From the 11th District Court of Appeals, the Honourable Judge Dorothy Saunders! And western Ohio's birthday clown of the year three years running, Tickles!"

"And now, let's welcome our first performers. All the way from Defiance, Ohio, the Unitards!"

(Buenos Aires sung by the Unitards)

"Ladies and gentlemen, from McKinley High, competing for the first time ever, the Troubletones!"

(Survivor / I Will Survive sung by the Troubletones)

The New Directions are next so they get up from their seats and make their way to the side of the stage quietly once the Troubletones left the stage, they run on the stage quickly and get into position.

"Also from McKinley High, let's give it up for the New Directions!"

(ABC sung by the New Directions)

While the New Directions are singing, Ariel is looking out into the audience and sees that the Warblers are sitting watching them and she is confused by that as Sebastian said the other day that they couldn't come to watch as it would be suspicious but apparently he lied as he was sat watching them. She is extremely happy that he is there so she starts to sing louder and put more emphasis on everything that she is singing.
