"Who should I extend this invite to?"

~

Rachel's nose was heeling fine. Her balance was off here and there and she ended up having to take a week off of practice, but now that she was able to dance things were feeling normal again, except for the fact that she still had to keep her bandaids on through the weekend.

"This week's number is one of my personal favorites." Fiona announces, a coy smile on her face as she tilted the sheet music into her chest so that the girls wouldn't sneak a peak before she finished announcing the song. "We're not going to be performing it for anything. Think of it as a reward for doing so well, it's just a fun song."

"C'mon tell us already!" Ariana begged.

"We're dying to know!" Vivian pleaded.

"We are taking a page out of the Warbler's book and we are doing a Pink song. Gear Up for: Get this party started."

"Oh my god, I love Pink, half of my iPod shuffle is dedicated to her album 'Funhouse'." Maddie squealed as her eyes raked over the sheet music.

Rachel shrugged in agreement, "Yeah I like her."

Maddie's arm shot up in the air, "Ms. Soprano, who's going to be leading on this?"

Fiona shrugged, "Whoever wants to, you can decide or pass around verses if you'd like. I did say this was just for fun, didn't I not?"

"You're right, and on that note, someone wanna press play?" Maddie handed her iPod over to Vivian who plugged it in. Maddie pulled her hair up into a high pony and Vivian pressed play on the music before rejoining the group.

I'm comin' up so you better get this party started
I'm comin' up so you better get this party started

Maddie gave the girls a look to signal that she would be taking the first verse, and Rachel stood off to the side awkwardly, not really knowing what to do.

Get this party started on a Saturday night
Everybody's waitin' for me to arrive
Sendin' out the message to all of my friends
We'll be lookin' flashy in my Mercedes Benz
I got lotsa style, check my gold diamond rings
I can go for miles if you know what I mean

All of the girls joined back in for the chorus.

I'm comin' up so you better get this party started
(I'm comin' up, I'm comin')
I'm comin' up so you better get this party started

Vivian took over for this verse.

Pumpin' up the volume, breakin down' to the beat
Cruisin' through the west side
We'll be checkin' the scene
Boulevard is freakin' as I'm comin' up fast
I'll be burnin' rubber, you'll be kissin' my ass
