Quinn Fabray didn't always have a bad girl reputation. In fact, before Noah Puckerman had gotten her pregnant, she'd had quite the opposite. In the middle of her senior year, she'd dropped the punk act for her baby Beth, and had gone back to her blonde hair. It hadn't helped much. Beth was still Shelby Corcoran's adoptive daughter, and Quinn was still lost and lonely as ever. After dropping the look, Quinn had rejoined the glee club, and had started to slowly feel better with the help of her friends.

It almost the big day of graduation, and the air around the school was filled with nervousness. Quinn had applied to two schools: NYU and Yale. She hadn't heard back from either. She was hoping for Yale, but ever since a certain national championship last year, New York City was Quinn's second best bet.

As she drove into the McKinley High parking lot, she saw her fellow glee clubbers rehearsing their graduation number, "High School Musical" by the cast of the Disney movie. She got out of her car and took in the sound of harmonizing voices. Rachel and Finn were singing their part, and as she walked over, Quinn realized she'd showed up right where her part in the song was. She walked beside Puck and softly sang, "Improvisation without a script, no one's written it. And now we've got a chance to! Someday we'll be looking back, memories we've had. All the songs we've lived through! The best of times, why leave them behind? Why can't the rest of my life be like my…."

As the song finished, Quinn realized graduation was only two days away. Puck had his arm around her. "Sup, Quinny?" He asked her with a wink.

"Hello, Puck. Ready for graduation?" She asked him with one of her famous eyebrow raises.

"Oh, hell yes!" He exclaimed as he made a motion with his hands like he was throwing his graduation cap into the air.

Blaine Anderson looked up from his seat by Kurt Hummel and asked, "Really? I don't want to graduate. I don't want you guys to graduate. I'm going to miss each and every one of you," He grabbed Kurt's hand and looked at him with his big brown eyes.

Quinn wanted more than anything for someone to look at her the way Blaine looked at Kurt. She was tired of feeling alone.

Be strong, Lucy. Be strong. She had to remind herself of this a lot.

"I'm going to miss glee club. If I was a junior, I'd still have another chance at being prom queen. She rolled her eyes at Finn. He'd ruined so much for her.

"We've got that covered for you, Fabray!" Blaine told her reassuringly as he put his arm around Kurt.

"Ohhh, you guys! I really am going to miss glee!" Rachel Berry piped up as she gestured everyone into a group hug.

"It's not over yet," Everyone looked up as Mr. Will Shuester stood at their table with a bouquet of flowers and a bunch of balloons. He handed them out and started to sing the starting notes of "Don't You Forget about Me".

When the song was over, Quinn found herself in the arms of Sam Evans. He looked down at her, and she looked back at him. Gosh, his eyes were still just as gorgeous.

Quinn and Sam had dated the year before, but what they had was long gone. Sam and Mercedes had just mutually ended their relationship. Quinn was so lost in his eyes and his lips. Oh, those lips.

She was sure Sam was thinking something along the same lines, and before another thought crossed her mind, Sam's lips crashed softly onto hers. She pulled away and looked up at him. He gave her one of his smirks that she loved and she just stared.

Quinn! What are you doing? You graduate in two days! No falling in love now!

Something inside Quinn told the voice in her head to just shut up.

They looked back to the group and everyone screamed in unison, "1, 2, GLEE!"
