Chapter Twelfth

The Nationals – Part Two

---o0o---

Elsewhere near the venue New Directions and Vocal Adrenaline decided to have a sing-off outside right in the city singing 'Ambitions'

Santana & Kurt ft new Directions:

Now I can't behave

I feel it in my feet on the streets

But don't you know?

There's something I can feel

when I breathe

Sunshine ft Vocal Adrenaline:

I told you once

you're breaking into separate parts

But don't you know

It's something that I can't live without

New Directions & Vocal Adrenaline:

And if somebody's going to make it

then this somebody ought to be you

And I keep telling my reflection

Ambitions are already starting to fade

Sam:

I can't tolerate

the feelings that I feel when I feel

But don't you know?

Some feelings never seem to let go

Santana:

Like a silver blade

I cut my way out of control

But don't you know?

Some blades will cut you right to the bone

New Directions & Vocal Adrenaline:

And if somebody's going to make it

then this somebody ought to be you

And If somebody going to fake it

then this somebody, somebody is you

It it's me that was going to take it

then I know that it wouldn't be straight

And I keep telling my reflection

Ambitions are already starting to fade

I can't tolerate

I can't tolerate

And if somebody's going to make it

then this somebody ought to be you

And If somebody going to fake it

then this somebody, somebody is you

It it's me that was going to take it

then I know that it wouldn't be straight

And I keep telling my reflection

Ambitions are already starting to fade

---o0o---

Mr Schu then walked on stage of the theatre took a breather and felt mesmerized, inspired then started to sing and he felt his dreams rushing through his veins within him which had him feel more alive and free then he has for a long time.

[I do not own this song 'still got tonight' by Matthew Morrison]

If you're not home, I'll sit here on your doorstep

Button up my coat and wait

We'll go upstairs close the curtains and we're all set

to pick up where we left again

There's question marks hangin' over us

But we won't give the time of day, oh

'Cause all we got is these few stolen seconds

And we can't let them go to waste

The stars collide

We come back to life

We come back to life

The sparks will fly

One look in your eyes

My heart's open wide

I know time's running out now

But we'll hold back the sun somehow

See the sky?

We've still got tonight

We've still got tonight

Come 9am

I'm packing every suitcase

Leave you in your bed so warm

I'll do my best not to wake you but it's useless

Can't tiptoe 'round this no more, oh

It's gonna get much harder

Before it gets better baby and that's for sure, mmm

Just say you'll wait for my footsteps on the staircase

And I will walk back through this door

I know time's running out now

But we'll hold back the sun somehow

See the sky?

We've still got tonight

We've still got tonight

BRIDGE:

So keep your eyes open

There's no time to close them

Just hold on

So tight now

We still got tonight

(We've still got tonight)

(We've still got tonight)

If all we got is these few stolen seconds

We can't let em go to waste

Someone walked in and listened to Mr Schu and they walked closer to the stage and Will finally noticed as he was finishing the song.

The stars collide

We come back to life

We come back to life

The sparks will fly

One look in your eyes

My heart's open wide

The man clapped his hands, "You know you have great talent and a powerful voice I heard you from down the hall. Do you write your own songs too?"

"Oh thanks, I just felt the urge to sing it felt right and yeah I do write my own songs"

"That's good keep it up and I suggest not to tell your kids about your career, cause I can see that you love them and they look to you for support and advice, so you better hurry along your group is up next after Vocal Adrenaline"

They both departed the stage and Mr Schu headed towards the back stage to wish them good luck before taking his seat in the audience to support them.

---o0o---

"Wow that was a great performance by SunshineCorazon from Vocal Adrenaline, let's see if this next act can top that, let's give a round of applause for the New Directions"

Then out came Santana singing the first verse followed by the rest of New Directions behind her dancing in rhythm to the music.

I do not own 'Light up the world' for it's the Original Glee song for the Nationals.

Santana:

Hey-hey-hey you and me keep on dancing in the dark,

It's been tearing me apart, never knowing what we are.

Hey-hey-hey you and me keep on tryin to play it cool,

Now it's time to make a move and that's what I'm gonna do.

Artie:

Lay it all down

Brittany:

Got something to say

Artie:

Lay it all down

Brittany:

Throw your doubt away

Artie:

Do or die now

Brittany:

Step on to the plate

Artie:

Blow the door wide open like

Artie and Brittany: Up up and away

Rachel with New Directions:

Let's light up the world toni-i-ight

You gotta give up the bark and bi-i-ite

I know that we got the love alri-i-ight

Come on and li li light it up, light it up tonight (2x)

Finn:

Hey-hey-hey you and me turn it up ten thousand watts

Tell me why we've gotta stop, I just want to let it rock

Artie & Tina:

Hey-hey-hey you and me keep on tearing at the road

Like we don't know where to go, step back, then we take control

Artie:

Lay it all down

Brittany:

Got something to say

Artie:

Lay it all down

Brittany:

Throw your doubt away

Artie:

Do or die now

Brittany:

Step on to the plate

Artie:

Blow the door wide open like

Artie and Brittany: Up up and away

Rachel with New Directions:

Let's light up the world toni-i-ight

You gotta give up the bark and bi-i-ite

I know that we got the love alri-i-ight

Come on and li li light it up, light it up tonight (2x)

Finn:

Hey hey hey you.

Hey hey hey you.

Hey hey hey you.

Hey hey hey you.

Rachel:

(Brittany: All down)

Got something to say

(Brittany: All down)

Throw your doubt away

Do or die now

(Brittany: Die now)

Step on to the plate

Blow the door wide open like

Brittany: Up up and away

Rachel with New Directions:

Let's light up the world toni-i-ight

You gotta give up the bark and bi-i-ite

I know that we got the love alri-i-ight

Come on and li li light it up, light it up tonight(3x)

The audience applauded after the music had ended but it didn't seem as loud as Vocal Adrenaline's, but the New Direction's bowed and walked off the stage and discussed some issues that they may have thought could have been better. So they went off to search for Mr Schu to ask him for some advice but he was nowhere to be found or seen they didn't give up and carried on till late and went to bed for an early rise in the morning.

There was only two hours left before they had to get a plane back to Ohio and yet still no sign of Will Schuester, they didn't want to get on it without him but they knew they had to go.

As soon as the plane landed they all made their own way back home from the airport, not before making arrangements to meet up later at the coffee shop. The first to be there was Kurt as he met Blaine there to catch up with him on what's happened and Blaine just watched Kurt rant only saying "I love you" and Kurt replied "Ditto" before they kissed.

The next day in McKinley Sue came into the Glee club room and announced that "Will Schuester will no longer be your teacher here at McKinley High as he is still in New York and he's staying there to pursue he's dreams until further notice, as of today Glee Club doesn't exist" she had her typical smug look on her face, a voice said "Glee Club has been reassigned by Mr Figgins himself and I'm now a fully qualified teacher" and the group smiled.
