(FINALLY! Performed song is Sit Still, Look Pretty by Daya. Cover from Pitch Perfect 3. Violet's voice is mostly Hailee's voice in this. She's the main vocalist mostly. Enjoy.)

Rachel led the way to the stage. The grim look of Falcon at the audience, and sighed.

She knew they can pull this off.

She just... knew.

Violet was singing the main melody for this stage. Falcon flexed her wrist. Ah, the glove fit nicely on her hand.

"Ready?"

"No," Falcon answered. She hated performing.

As soon as the music began to start the other members ran out, whistling.

"HUH!"

And so it started. The performance was underway.

Falcon skidded, bringing her arm across the chest as she entered the backup vocals, with Violet starring in this particular song.

"Could dress up, to get love, but guess what? I'm never gonna be that girl, who's living in a Barbie world..."

Falcon scooted a little, doing a small pirouette. The flip was coming up. Her eyes were flicking nervously, watching the judges. They were looking intently.

Stop. Move. Step-slide. Keep up to the choreography, Falcon.

"Could wake up and make up, pretending that I need a boy who's gonna treat me like a toy..."

She is so not used to this. She is not used to it. She is not used to being on stage before it all comes crashing DOWN.

Violet was getting into the hang of the song, getting out into the groove. Man, Falcon does play for both teams but she cannot comprehend how this girl looks fabulous with the dances. She risked a glance back at Jared, who had stopped working the soundboard and was just watching. Staring.

"Oooh..." Violet sang, giving a wink at the crowd.

The group launched together, sounding childish in Falcon's opinion, but Violet did an exquisite pirouette that put Rachel's to shame and Jared's eyes to keep watching, with Rex beside him too.

"I know the other girlies wanna wear expensive things..."
("No...")

"And diamond rings..."
("I don't want to...")

"But I don't wanna be the puppet that you're playing..."
("Faking...")

Violet gave Falcon a smile as she skidded towards her, with Falcon doing a backflip at that moment, where Violet held the word 'faking'. Falcon did it, she cleared over Violet's head and landed at the beat drop.

"This queen don't need a king!"

Violet burst forward, truly living in the moment, and that was when fear began to really claw at Falcon. If it happened again...

"I don't know what you've been told but this gal right here's gonna rule the world..."

Rachel put an arm on Falcon as they both sang the backup vocals, assurance everything is fine as they outright performed.

"... yeah that is where I'm gonna be, because I wanna be..."

"Whoa..." Rachel sang, as Falcon slid into her next place.

"No I don't wanna sit still look pretty."

How ironic, Falcon thought.
