If was the night of regionals. I couldn't wait to meet my mystery person. It was rather scary, because of going up against the Warblers.
I paced around in my black heals. My black dress with gold lining along the edges was made by Tina. She usually made our costumes. I continued to pace around the room. Everybody else was touching up on make up and rehearsing the choreography. Mr. Schuester walked into the choir room while we all stood up.
"Show circle time, come on, let's huddle up! Okay, uh" Mr. Schue began. We all made a large circle. "Oh, Finn, you wanted to start us off?" He remembered.
"Yeah." He nodded. "I know it's kind of short notice, but after the competition, Rachel and I are going to get married. At the Justice of the Peace, at the Lima Municipal Center." He invited.
"There will be some light refreshments afterwards, My dads and I were rolling finger sandwiches all night long." Rachel added.
"With everything that's happened lately, we thought a lot about what Mr. Schue said. We didn't want to wait anymore." Finn persuaded.
"We just want to live every day like it's our last. So we wanted to thank a lot of you guys that were supportive of our decision to get married. And-and for those of you who maybe weren't the biggest fans of our impending nuptials, we thank you also. So after we win, we would really love it if all of you would come to our wedding." Rachel persuaded. I was going to go to the wedding for support for Finn.
"Okay, guys bring it in." Mr. Schue nodded. We all put our hands in.
"Ammmmaaaaziiing!" We all said at the same time. We all clapped and walked into the audience to sit down. I sat in the middle of Mercedes and Blaine.
"Please welcome the Dalton Warblers!" The announcer announces as the crowd roars. We all clapped to be supportive. The curtains slid open as they began to perform.
[Sebastian with Warblers:]
Come on, stand, up again
Stand, you're gonna run again
[Sebastian:]
Don't give up,
You're gonna see tomorrow
[Sebastian with Warblers:]
That you'll be on your feet again
[Sebastian:]
Sometimes the world's gonna knock you over
But you will see who are your friends ([Warblers:] Ooooo!)
[Sebastian with Warblers:]
Come on, stand, up again
Come on, stand,
Stand, you're gonna run again
Finn convinced everybody to stand up and clap for them at the rhythm of the song. I have to say, that their choreography was good. I could never compete with that.
[Sebastian:]
Your faith and patience will be your soldiers
[Sebastian with Warblers:]
To guide you through your troubled times
[Sebastian:]
Just put one foot in front of the other
[Sebastian with Warblers:]
The battles are inside your mind
[Sebastian:]
You have the power to face your demons
[Sebastian with Warblers:]
No matter how they go at times
[Sebastian:]
And rid yourself of your fear and weakness
So you can start to live your life ([Warblers:] Ooooo!)
[Sebastian with Warblers:]
Come on, stand, up again
Come on, stand,
Stand, you're gonna run again
[Sebastian:]
Come on!
[Warblers:]
Come on, stand, ([Sebastian:] Come on baby!) up again ([Sebastian:] Stand yeah!)
Come on, stand, ([Sebastian:] You can baby!)
[Sebastian with Warblers:]
Stand, you're gonna run again
[Sebastian:]
Pick up your will
[Sebastian with Warblers:]
And put on your face
[Sebastian:]
If you need to, just take my hand ([Warblers:] Take my hand)
It's time to demonstrate, don't hesitate ([Warblers:] Don't hesitate)
Just get up and say "Yes, I can" ([Warblers:] "Yes, I can")
[Warblers:]
Come on, stand, ([Sebastian:] Come on baby!) up again ([Sebastian:] Stand yeah!)
Come on, stand, ([Sebastian:] Come on you can baby!)
[Warblers:]
Stand, you're gonna run again
[Sebastian:]
Stand, you're gonna run again
[Warblers:]
Come on, stand, ([Sebastian:] Ohhhh stand yeah!) up again ([Sebastian:] Stand up again!)
Come on, stand, ([Sebastian:] Ohhhh come on baby!)
Stand, you're gonna run again ([Sebastian:] Stand stand!)
Stand, you're gonna run again ([Sebastian:] Come on!)
Stand, you're gonna run again ([Sebastian:] Gonna run again!)
After the song, he walks to the front of the stage.
"Please remember that there are charity baskets all around the auditorium. Just look for the Dalton blazer. Please donate what you can." He nodded as he goes back to his position in the middle of the Warblers.
The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that counts
Is here and now
My universe will never be the same
I'm glad you came
You cast a spell on me, spell on me
You hit me like the sky fell on me, fell on me
And I decided you look well on me, well on me
So let's go somewhere no one else can see, you and me
Finn once again made everybody stand up and clap to support them. As Sebastian sang, he seemed to looking at me quite often. I wasn't sure if that was good or bad, but it must be something in my teeth or something.
Turn the lights out now
Now I'll take you by the hand
Hand you another drink
Drink it if you can
Can you spend a little time,
Time is slipping away,
Away from us so stay,
Stay with me I can make,
Make you glad you came
The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that counts
Is here and now
My universe will never be the same
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came
You cast a spell on me, spell on me
You hit me like the sky fell on me, fell on me
And I decided you look well on me, well on me
So let's go somewhere no one else can see, you and me
Turn the lights out now
Now I'll take you by the hand
Hand you another drink (drink)
Drink it if you can (can)
Can you spend a little time,
Time is slipping away,
Away from us so stay (stay),
Stay with me I can make,
Make you glad you came
The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that counts
Is here and now
My universe will never be the same
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came
The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that counts
Is here and now
My universe will never be the same
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came
The curtain shut. Everybody cheered. The Warblers were insanely good. We really have to bring up our A game.
