In 7 Days [Book 1]

Chapter 31 - Holding Out For A Hero

"Has anyone seen Kitty?" Finn took a seat in the middle of the room, legs open wide. We were about to perform our duet song, but Kitty hadn't shown up yet. I was hoping she'd show up soon because standing in front of the room with everyone watching me was getting too much.

I looked to the corner of the room where Ryder was sat in his 'Mega Stud' costume. He winked at me and nodded his head at me. I couldn't help but blush brightly. 

"I'm here, bitches!" Kitty's voice called from the door. I turned around to see her in a tight, leather,  jumpsuit with matching cat ears and a whip. She looked so sexy, and it took everything in me to not compare myself to her. 

"Finally, Kitty, you've kept us all waiting." 

"I'm sorry! The Femme Fatale needed time to get ready to look this sexy." She winked and strutted over to where I was standing. Like we rehearsed, I stood near the side of the room, putting all the attention on Kitty. Kitty did the splits on the floor just as the music started:

New Directions:
Duh, duh, duh
Duh, duh, duh
Duh, duh, duh

Brittany and Sugar with New Directions:
Ah, ah

Kitty:
Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where's the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?

Marley:
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?

I ran from my spot at the side of the room and came in next to Kitty, holding out my golden cape. 

Late at night I toss and turn

Kitty and Marley:
and dream of what I need
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night

We paced around each other, Kitty chucking her whip at me, and we pretended to have an ultimate superhero fight scene - which just made us laugh.

He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero (New Directions: hero)
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light (New Directions: 'til the morning light)
He's gotta be sure and he's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life, larger than life

New Directions:
Duh, duh, duh
Duh, duh, duh (Marley and Kitty: Oh whoa!)
Duh, duh, duh (Marley: Oh!) (Kitty: Yeah!)

Marley and Kitty: 
Ah, ah!

I ran up the steps of the choir room and stood on the top step, hands on hips, singing to the club from behind them.

Marley:
Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasies
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me

Kitty:
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat

Marley and Kitty:
It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet (Marley: Ooh!) 
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure and he's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night

Kitty:
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I could swear that there's someone somewhere watching me
