In the hushed choir room, Mrs. Riley and Brittany shared a meaningful glance, their connection evident in the air. With a nod, Mrs. Riley's fingers found the keys, and the haunting chords of 'In the Stars' by Benson Boone filled the room.

"Sunday mornings were your favorite," Mrs. Riley's voice, filled with a bittersweet nostalgia, began to weave the tale. "I used to meet you down on Woods Creek Road." The melody resonated with a quiet longing as she continued, "You did your hair up like you were famous, even though it's only church where we were goin'."

As Mrs. Riley's soulful rendition hung in the air, Brittany seamlessly stepped into the poignant narrative. "Now, Sunday mornings, I just sleep in. It's like I buried my faith with you." The weight of the lyrics settled on the room, casting a solemn atmosphere.

People from the glee club began to trickle in, drawn by the haunting melody. Chatter slowly died down as they witnessed the emotional performance unfolding before them. Mrs. Riley and Brittany continued, their voices intertwining, "I'm screamin' at a God I don't know if I believe in, 'cause I don't know what else I can do."

Confused looks exchanged like ripples through the room as the members gathered, captivated by the emotion conveyed through the rendition.

"I'm still holdin' on to everything that's dead and gone," their voices harmonized, intertwining like threads of shared sorrow. The glee club members, drawn by the melodic lament, slowly settled into their seats, captivated by the duo's emotive performance.

"And now you're in the stars, and six-feet's never felt so far," Brittany and Mrs. Riley sang in unison, their voices carrying a strength that defied the pain embedded in the lyrics. The room, usually alive with chatter, fell into a contemplative hush.

Then, Brittany took a step forward, her voice standing alone against the poignant melody. "Oh, it hurts so hard, for a million different reasons." Her delivery held a raw vulnerability that resonated with the depths of emotion in the lyrics.

As Brittany's last note lingered in the air, Mrs. Riley seamlessly took over, her voice weaving through the room like a melancholic tapestry. "You took the best of my heart and left the rest in pieces." The pain in her voice mirrored the shattered sentiment of the lyrics, and the room felt suspended.

"Diggin' through your old birthday letters, a crumpled 20 still in the box." Brittany's delivery carried a wistful tone that seemed to resonate with the raw emotion embedded in the words. Kurt, moved by the sentiment, discreetly wiped away a tear.

Mrs Riley's soulful voice overtook Brittany's, adding depth to the melancholic melody. "I don't think that I could ever find a way to spend it, even if it's the last 20 that I've got, oh."

A subtle murmur swept through the glee club as Mike leaned over to Tina, whispering, "Why is Mrs. Riley singing with her?" Tina, equally perplexed, could only offer a shrug in response.

The duet unfolded seamlessly as Brittany and Mrs. Riley sang in unison, "I'm still holdin' on to everything that's dead and gone. I don't wanna say goodbye, 'cause this one means forever." Their voices, a poignant blend of vulnerability and strength, reverberated through the room, casting a spell that held everyone captive.

"And now you're in the stars, and six-feet's never felt so far," they continued, the harmony echoing through the choir room.

Their voices still entwined in the melancholic melody. "Oh, it hurts so hard for a million different reasons. You took the best of my heart and left the rest in pieces." The words echoed through the choir room, resonating with a universal ache that touched each listener in a unique way.
