When Finn graduated from College, getting his teaching degree, he would finally be able to do one of the things he loved. He remembered the day that Will didn't forgive him for the Emma kiss, it hurt at the time, but Finn knew that it had to happen.
If it wasn't for Will, Emma, and even Marley pushing him then, he never would have went to college. It took a few more years than expected, but he finally was a teacher.
He also remembered the day he got the call from Principle Tristian P. Rurfellow, the new principle at McKinley High School. He was offered the chance to teach Biology. Finn couldn't believe it, he was going back to his high school. The place where he found himself, to help others find themselves.
He met with the principle a week before the school year of 2027-2028 was going to begin. Tristian told him how many of the teachers spoke of him greatly. One of them being a retired Coach Sue Sylvester, that one surprised Finn. Another came from Shannon Bieste, she was still the football coach, and then finally, their new History teacher, Marley Rose.
Finn had Marley to thank for all of this in a way. She pushed him, told him to go get a teaching degree and he got one. And after the last couple years, he's found a permanent job. Not just teaching as a sub for one day at a time; which what it was for the last few years.
"Great to welcome you aboard our staff, Mr. Hudson. I expect great things from you." He said and Finn nodded, but he also had one thing he would like to discuss to the principle.
"Mr. Rurfellow—" Finn started.
"Please, call me Tristian."
"Okay, Tristian, I'd like to talk to you about Glee Club. I'd like to reboot the program."
"Mr. Hudson—" Finn cut him off this time.
"Finn."
"Finn, it's been fourteen years since the Glee Club ended. I don't know how many people would be interested and I don't know if we have enough funds for costumes and busses and everything." Tristian seemed like Figgins, before he died of a heart attack a year ago and had to replace his position.
"I want to pay for it. Costumes and music sheets. And we can do fundraisers to pay for transportation to events. And if I can get them to win Nationals this year, the school will keep and fund the club again." Finn had a good proposal and Tristian liked it.
"Alright, I will give you this year to reboot the Glee Club. You have my permission and best wishes." He said and Finn smiled. He was going to make them champions, he had to. Now all he needed to do was round up all the outcasts and people who were interested in the arts.
Finn exited the office and went to the place where the choir room used to be. It was an empty room. Bare. Soon enough, it would be full of what it used to be. Music, Chairs, Kids, and Passion.
Finn turned on the lights and walked into the room. He looked around, he would have to fix the room up before the new year started. He remembered what it used to be like. Fun, something that made everyone in that room feel like they were worth something. Made them realize what they could do; Finn felt like singing.
He closed his eyes and started to sing the first song that popped into his head when he thought about the glee club.
Just a small town girl
Livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere
Just a city boy
Born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train goin' anywhere
A singer in a smokey room
The smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searchin' in the night
Streetlight, people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin' somewhere in the night
Workin' hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anythin' to roll the dice
Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some are born to sing the blues
And now the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searchin' in the night
Streetlight, people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin' somewhere in the night
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlight, people
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlight, people
Don't stop!
