“Tonight…”
Blaine and Rachel finished the song and looked out at their audience, composed of the whole cast of West Side Story and the few members of the New Directions and the Trouble Tones that weren’t involved in the musical but had joined the rehearsal anyway. They saw Coach Beiste surreptitiously wipe away a tear.
“You were amazing, as always,” Finn said, smiling boyishly at Rachel. The action earned quite a few eye rolls from the others.
“You guys are good. I can’t deny that,” Artie said to Blaine and Rachel. “However, it seemed…lacking.”
“Now, Artie-” Emma started.
Shelby interrupted her, “He’s right.”
“Lacking in what way?” Rachel asked, not pleased, but determined to correct whatever was sullying her performance.
“I don’t know,” Artie admitted.
“I do,” Brittany said, gaining confused and incredulous looks. “Blaine, can you sit in front of me? Here.” She pointed to the chair. Blaine obliged, though he was perplexed. “Rachel,” Brittany continued, “close your eyes. Now sing it again from the start.”
To everyone’s surprise, Rachel simply nodded and did what she was told. She took a readying breath, closed her eyes and waited for the music to start.
Tonight, tonight
It all began tonight
I saw you and the world went away.
Tonight, tonight
There's only you tonight
What you are, what you do, what you say
Today, all day I had the feeling
Rachel’s eyes snapped open as somebody that wasn’t Blaine sang Tony’s part. She knew whom the voice belonged to, but she needed to see it with her own eyes to make sure she wasn’t dreaming. And she wasn’t. Santana was really coming towards her, singing.
A miracle would happen
I know now I was right
For here you are
And what was just a world is a star
Tonight
Everyone in the choir room went from being shocked at hearing Santana sing instead of Blaine to being shocked at hearing how good the girls’ voices sounded together.
Tonight, tonight
The world is full of light
With suns and moons all over the place
Tonight, tonight
The world is wild and bright
Going mad
Shooting sparks into space
Today, the world was just an address
A place for me to live in
No better than all right
Brittany saw that everyone was entranced by the performance and relaxed, finally removing her hands from over Blaine’s mouth, where she had put them to stop the boy from jumping in.
But here you are
And what was just a world is a star
Tonight
Santana took Rachel’s hands and brought it to her chest.
Good night, good night
Sleep well and when you dream
Dream of me
Tonight
The song ended, but nobody moved, still stunned.
“Wow,” someone breathed, amazed.
“Is it too late to replace Tony?”
