Blaine and Kurt enter a Life support meeting just then. Sitting down in chairs next to each other. The leader of the procession, William Shuester, smiles at everyone. Though one member, Noah Puckerman, is standing.
"Matt." Matt says.
"Puck." Puck says as well.
"Tina." Tina whispers.
"Merecedes." Merecedes looks over at Tina.
"Sue." An angry short haired blonde woman replies.
"Hi, I'm Blaine." Blaine takes his wig off.
"Kurt. Hummel." Kurt says.
"I'm Will, let's begin." Will smiles and stands up with everyone else.
"There's only us.
There's only this..." They sing.
All of a sudden, Artie comes in carrying his camera and making a lot of noise.
"Sorry... excuse me... oops." Artie says, flustered.
"And you are?" Will asks.
"Oh - I'm not -
I'm just here to -
I don't have -
I'm here with -
Um - Artie
Artie - I'm Artie
Well - this is quite an operation." Artie finally gets out.
"Sit down Artie
We'll continue the affirmation." Will says smiling.
"Forget regret or life is yours to miss" They all sing.
"Excuse me Will - I'm having a problem with this
This credo - My T-cells are low -
I regret that news, okay?" Puck tells them.
"Alright
But Puck- How do you feel today?" Will asks.
"What do you mean?" Puck asks confused.
"How do you feel today?" Will repeats.
"Okay." Puck shrugs.
"Is that all?" Will asks.
"Best I've felt all year." Puck admits.
"Then why choose fear?" Will asks him.
"I'm a New Yorker!
Fear's my life!
Look - I find some of what you teach suspect
Because I'm used to relying on intellect
But I try to open up to what I don't know." Puck sings.
Finn from his loft looks out the window.
"Because reason says I should have died
Three years ago." Puck and Finn sing together unknownly.
"No other road
No other way
No day but today." They all sing.
In a strip club, a very sexy looking Rachel Berry comes out in leather and smiles at the crowd.
"What's the time?
Well it's gotta be close to midnight
My body's talking to me
It says, "Time for danger"
It says "I wanna commit a crime
Wanna be the cause of a fight
Wanna put on a tight skirt and flirt
With a stranger
I've had a knack from way back
At breaking the rules once I learn the games
Get up - life's too quick
I know someplace sick
Where this chick'll dance in the flames
We don't need any money
I always get in for free
You can get in too
If you get in with me
Let's go out tonight
I have to go out tonight
You wanna play?
Let's run away
We won't be back before it's Christmas day
Take me out tonight (meow)"
As she sings, walking out of the strip club back to her apartment.
"When I get a wink from the doorman
Do you know how lucky you'll be?
That you're on line with the feline of Avenue B
Let's go out tonight
I have to go out tonight
You wanna prowl
Be my night owl?
Well take my hand we're gonna howl
Out tonight."
She finally reaches her loft, closing the door and taking her jacket and scarf off, revealing a short skirt and black lacy top.
"In the evening I've got to roam
Can't sleep in the city of neon and chrome
Feels too damn much like home
When the Spanish babies cry
So let's find a bar
So dark we forget who we are
And all the scars from the
Nevers and maybes die
Let's go out tonight
Have to go out tonight
You're sweet
Wanna hit the street?
Wanna wail at the moon like a cat in heat?
Just take me out tonight."
Rachel climbs out her window and up the fire escape and near Finn's loft window. Finn has his guitar in his hands. He turns, watching the girl of his dreams, which he won't admit, climb through his window.
"Please take me out tonight
Don't forsake me - out tonight
I'll let you make me - out tonight
Tonight - tonight - tonight." Rachel finishes, climbing on his table, grabbing Finn's face and kissing him. Thoguh before she does, Finn watches as she pulls a small packet of white powder from her waist band.
Finn pulls away from the kiss, angry. Rachel is shocked.
"Who do you think you are?
Barging in on me and my guitar
Little girl - hey
The door is that way
You better go you know
The fire's out anyway
Take your powder - take your candle
Your sweet whisper
I just can't handle
Well take your hair in the moonlight
Your brown eyes - goodbye, goodnight
I should tell you I should tell you
I should tell you I should - no!
Another time - another place
Our temperature would climb
There'd be a long embrace
We'd do another dance
It'd be another play
Looking for romance?
Come back another day
Another day." Finn shakes his head at her, sitting on his couch. Rachel follows him but doesn't sit. Just walks around the couch.
"The heart may freeze or it can burn
The pain will ease if I can learn
There is no future
There is no past
I live this moment as my last
There's only us
There's only this
Forget regret
Or life is yours to miss
No other road
No other way
No day but today."Rachel smiles at him, hopeful.
"Excuse me if I'm off track
But if you're so wise
Then tell me - why do you need smack?
Take your needle
Take your fancy prayer
And don't forget
Get the moonlight out of your hair
Long ago - you might've lit up my heart
But the fire's dead - ain't never ever gonna start
Another time - another place
The words would only rhyme
We'd be in outer space
It'd be another song
We'd sing another way
You wanna prove me wrong?
Come back another day
Another day." Finn pushes her towards the door and watches her run down the stairs and outside.
"There's only yes
Only tonight
We must let go
To know what's right
No other course
No other way
No day but today." Rachel rubs her arms, trying to get warm from the cold December weather.
Soon Blaine, Kurt, and Artie join Rachel in the street.
"I can't control." Rachel sings with the others.
"Control your temper." Finn sings.
"My destiny." Rachel and the others sing.
"She doesn't see." Finn looks down.
"I trust my soul..." They sing.
"Who says there is a soul?" Finn asks.
"...my only goal
Is just
To be." They sing.
"Just let me be." Finn pleads.
"There's only now." They sing.
"Who do you think you are?" Finn sings, shaking his head.
"There's only here
Give in to love." They sing to him.
"Barging in on me and my guitar?" Finn sings.
"Or live in fear
No other path." They sing.
"Little girl hey." Finn sings.
"No other way." Rachel looks up at him.
"The door is that way." Finn looks down at her.
"No day but today." They sing.
"Take your powder; take your candle." Roger sings.
"No day but today." They sing.
"Take your brown eyes, your pretty smile, your silhouette." Roger throws down at her.
"No day but today." They sing up at him.
"Another time, another place." Roger sings.
"No day but today." Rachel looks at him.
"Another rhyme, a warm embrace
Another dance, another way
Another chance, another day." Roger shakes his head. Roger holds the last note.
"No day but today." They hold it. Finn walks back into his loft and Rachel cries silently on Blaine's shoulder.
