24 [Accidental Video]
[Rachel is on stage, pacing in agitation. She looks positively exhausted -- there are circles underneath her eyes and her hair is pulled back instead of hanging loose around her shoulders, like it normally is. The music following her is quiet, at least -- but soon, drums are heard -- a guitar, and Rachel stops in her tracks, in the dead center of the stage, before she closes her eyes.
And finally decides to give into the event and sing.
She does the choreography perfectly -- the voices heard alongside hers are exactly as Rachel remembers them -- the music is perfect -- and the event purposefully leaves out Rachel's voice, in the 'recording', so that she can sing along. When she gets to the end, she's grinning, and she stops on the edge of the stage, a hand outstretched to the audience, before she begins to speak:]
If we sing that every single week before Nationals, it would help our morale enormously -- because the most important thing, fellow Glee club-bers, is that we remember precisely where we came from. That is our true strength --
[She clasps her hands together.]
I really think we have a shot at beating Vocal Adrenaline, but Finn, you need to project mo --
[But as Rachel looks up, to her right, she stops speaking abruptly. Because there isn't anyone there.
Her shoulders slump slightly as she presses a hand to her forehead, sighing to herself shakily as she turns back towards the curtains.
Someone hates this event way more than she thought she would.]

[And girls crying is never okay..]

... the Animus did not give me the luxury of simple theme music.
[video]
I'm sorry...Um, anything I can do to make you feel better? I found Pixie sticks the other day, I could share? I mean, they're kind of old, but its sugar! And they were in the plastic still, so they're perfectly fine, and I know that always makes me feel better.
[He's trying so hard man! Girls, they just make him ramble.]
[video]
... pixie sticks?
[It's said almost tentatively, because -- of all of the things Rachel expected, that ... was not one of them.]
[video]
Unless you don't like them! Um, or...
[Darn, this is harder than he thought.]
Oh! I found cocoa too! Do you like cocoa?
[video]
[People usually don't fall over themselves to make Rachel feel better, so this is kind of a unique and odd experience.]
[video]
W-well I've got a few packets of Cocoa mix if you want them, I mean, if it would make you feel better!

[Have a big smile.]
Just do me a favor and like, don't let the Animus get to you, they're douche bags.
[video]
... thank you.
[video]
[And dawww, such a pretty little smile! He knew you could do it!]
Just holler at me when you want it and i'll bring the cocoa to you.

[She's spotted a Jesse St James in the theatre who is going to ask what happened, give her time to do damage control.]

[And Hanna is off to search for a cup. He'll be over when you call him, no worries. Hot cocoa ready and maybe a pixie-stick or two.]

Um, hello?

Over here!

Um, I'm Hanna by the way!

I'm Rachel.

[Sitting down, he's sure she does look a least a little better than she had. Not close to tears, anyways.]

No problem. I mean, we're all stuck here, that sucks enough, you don't need to be upset on top of that.
