Welcome to the next chapter… I claim no part in this. My hands had a mind of their own. I also realize it has been awhile since I updated this so I hope at least one person is still reading.
Warning may be some age changing of characters. Also changes may take place in allegiances. Such as Magneto people may be Xavier's students or staff. Also from all X-men Cannons not just movie.
As always characters belong to their respective owners.
Song is I am/ Shades of life sung by Billy Gillman. I recommend listening to it while reading this chapter

Rachel walked into the building clutching Quinn's hand. Quinn was laughing at their friends antics. Kitty was badgering Rogue into wearing mascara. Bobby was making swans out of ice and John was making dragons to eat them. Jubilee was making mini fireworks and setting them off near everyone's ears making them jump. She looked at her girlfriend when she stopped moving. She saw Rachel staring at something and looked where she was. She saw New Directions. She knew exactly what to do. They planned it out.
"Kitty now!" Kitty leapt forward and grabbed Rachel, phasing her through the floor. The group continued to go forward as if nothing happened. When New Directions looked their way John threw his flame into a garbage can setting off the sprinklers, dousing New Directions. They screamed making Quinn and her group laugh as they made it to their room. Quinn immediately went to Rachel's side and told her what John did. Rachel and Kitty both laughed.
"Hey guys, I found out what room they had. I may or may not have iced the entire thing over," Bobby told them. Just then they heard a scream and they all burst out laughing. They got ready for their first set. All of the girls were in dresses except for Rogue and Quinn who were dressed like the guys. That was for two reasons. Rogue's skin was completely covered and there were more girls than guys. Their numbers required an equal number for each gender.

They easily made it into round two. They went to load the buses to head back to the hotel for the night. Even though the school was close enough to the city they didn't want to take any chances and decided to stay right in the city. Plus Storm thought it gave them a chance to feel like "normal high schoolers" again.
They got back and were at the pool when New Directions showed up. Rachel and Quinn stayed on their loungers but turned them around so they wouldn't be seen by New Directions. Rogue did the same and Kitty, Jubilee, Piotr, and Warren moved towards that side of the pool and as far away from New Directions as possible.
Santana yelled out, "You know just because we're competition doesn't mean you have to be rude." The group continued to ignore them. Santana stalked towards them. Right on cue Logan walked in.
"Guys, we have dinner reservations we need to leave soon."
Rogue spoke quietly so only Logan could hear said, "These people are the ones who tortured Rachel."
Logan nodded and then "accidentally" shoved the boy in the wheel chair into the pool. That gave his kids a chance to leave the room unnoticed. Suddenly the pool room plunged into complete darkness.
"Oops sorry," Rachel said. Everyone started laughing when they heard a splash and then a shriek. They were out of the room before Quinn finally brought the light back.

The next day was the final round. X-vocals were last. Rachel walked on stage and got ready to sing. New Directions were stunned in the back of the auditorium.
They had lost the first round but decided to watch the next rounds. Imagine their surprise when the last group came on and they see Rachel.
I am black, I am white
I am all skins in between
I am young, I am old
I am each age that has been
I am scrawny, I am well fed (Quinn started walking out.)
I am starving for attention (Quinn walked up right next to Rachel and sings the next part with her)
I am famous, I am cryptic
I am hardly worth the mention
I am short, I am height
I am any frame or stature
I am smart, I am challenged
I am striving for a future
The rest of X-Vocals walk out and join in.
[Chorus:]
The color of sky
Is blues and grays
The color of earth
Is greens and browns
The color of hope
Is rainbows and purple
And the color of peace
Is people together
Shades of life
I am
I am able, I am weak
I am some strength, I am none
I am being, I am thought
I am all things, said and done
I am born, I am died
I am dust of humble roots
I am grace, I am pain
I am labor of wined fruits
I am slave, I am free
I am bonded to my life
I am rich, I am poor
I am wealth amid strife
[Repeat Chorus]
I am shadow, I am glory
I am hiding from my shame
I am hero, I am loser
I am yearning for a name
I am empty, I am proud
I am seeking my tomorrow
I am growing, I am fading
I am hope amid the sorrow
I am certain, I am doubtful
I am desperate for solutions
I am leader, I am student
I am fate and evolutions
I am spirit, I am voice
I am memory, not recalled
I am chance, I am cause
I am effort blocked and walled
I am hymn, I am heard
I am reasoned without rhymes
I am past, I am nearing
I am present in all times
I am many, I am no one
I am seasoned by each being
I am me, I am you
I am all-souls now decreeing
[Repeat Chorus]
After they finished the whole theater stood cheering for them. The group exited the stage with huge smiles on their faces. New Directions were still in the back of the theater. They had their heads hung low. That could have been them, but instead they were only watching the finals due to the fact that they attacked the girl who had just sung. They knew now what they had to do. They would try to find the two girls they drove away and apologize.

X-Vocals easily won nationals. They headed back to the hotel for one last night. The next day they would return to the mansion and have a huge celebration before returning to their lessons and training.
