Author's Note: This is simply, how I wanted the writers to write Finn and Rachel out. I understand why they have to do what they're doing. If they didn't than Finn would still exist in this universe with these characters. But if I had it my way, this would have happened. Also, this will be a place for random one shots and drabbles. I've got two others that are almost finished. Some are AU others, canon. Reviews are awesome!

The call comes at 1:35 that afternoon. While she's busying herself with a late lunch and the television is playing a classic on AMC. She knows who's calling her from the ring, it was set specifically for this purpose, to distinguish from the others.

Part of her believes it's too soon, because it's only been a week and she had prepared herself for at least two and a half. It's already rung three times, two more and the call goes to voice mail. She debates letting them leave her a message, because it has to be a rejection right?

But there's that part of her that sounds an awful lot like Finn, telling her not worry, she's meant to be a star. So, she hesitantly picks it up, praying harder than she ever has in her life.

"Rachel Berry speaking."

"Hello Miss Berry, this is Clarise Smolders, I am the casting director for the revival of Funny Girl. I believe we've met?"

"Why yes, of course. How are you?"

"I'm fine Miss Berry thank you. I have called you to offer you the role of Fanny."

"I, well, thank you!"

"Is that a yes I presume?"

"Oh yes! I would be honored."

"I'm thrilled for you really, there is a catch though."

She'll have to share the role. That must be it.

"And what would that be?"

"We've decided against holding the production here in New York and have decided to do a short run in the London West End as sort of a trial run, then of course it will come back to New York."

"I'll have to move to London? I'm sorry but there's absolutely no way I can afford to live there."

"You need not worry Miss Berry, everything will be covered."

"Okay, that sounds completely wonderful."

"Good. In the next month you'll need to move to London, where we will start rehearsals the second week of May. The show itself will run through August. A packet of information should be arriving within the next few days."

"Oh goodness, okay."

"We're glad to have you aboard Miss Berry. I look forward to seeing you in London."

"Thank you! And you have a wonderful week."

She's going to London to play Fanny Brice in the West End. It's like a dream really. And certainly not what she expected. She cannot wait to tell everyone. Especially Finn.

He has to know.

His voice hits her ear on the second ring.

"Hey Finn two things. One: I got the part. And two: I want you to come to London with me. What do you say?"

It's around six when Kurt comes ambling into the loft. She's been on her computer searching for hours.

"Hey Rachel, whatcha doin? Are those flights to London!? When do we leave?"

"Actually Kurt that's what I wanted to talk to you about. The producer's from Funny Girl called."

"They did! Oh and they didn't offer you the part, so you need to get away, I completely understand."

"No, it's the complete opposite actually. They offered me the part. But they want to do a short run on the West End before moving back to New York. I said yes."

"That's fantastic! Congratulations! I'm beyond jealous! Have you called Finn yet?"

"Right after they told me, and that leads me to another thing. I asked Finn to come with me."

"You did what!? Rachel he's got classes in the fall and not mention there's no way Finn could afford London!"

"Everything's paid for actually, which is partly why I invited Finn. That and he helped me choose my first audition piece. Not to mention I miss him and what better way to get to know each other again, than in a city where no one knows us?"

"As much as I believe in the epic romance that is Finchel, don't you think this is little bit too spontaneous?"

"Maybe, but when have Finn and I ever really thought things through? He told me to surrender once, let the universe do its thing. Well, I'm so tired of waiting on the universe to decide my fate with Finn. So whether or not you think this is a good idea, doesn't matter. This is about Finn and I."

Kurt was quiet for a moment, studying her.

"While I know I could keep trying to talk you out of this, I also can't stop love. So, call me every day, and save me a ticket for opening night."

"Oh thank you Kurt! You have no idea how much this means to me."

"I think I do. It's not every day you find your person."

"Just one more thing, I'm going to need you and Santana to come with Finn and I to the Justice of the Peace tomorrow."

"What!?"

II

When he looks back on this, he might wish they had waited, planned a real ceremony. After school and the chaos of life slowed down. But watching Rachel walk down the aisle, beaming smile and radiating happiness, it doesn't matter. Because this love story, this romance that started in a high school Glee club, was meant to last forever.

They jetted off to London three days later. And when he's asked where they went or why the hell they got married, he simply says,

"Rachel got the role of Fanny, but in London, so she asked Finn to go with her. They got hitched and are now probably attacking each other like monkey's in their new apartment."

Okay, maybe that's his sarcastic, gossip fueled answer.

The real, honest answer is easy,

"Love."

Because that's what it all boils down to doesn't it? And he couldn't have asked for a better ending.

He remembers Rachel once telling him the story of how Finn told her they were endgame. And maybe at the time he didn't believe it. Because who spends the rest of their life with their high school sweetheart? But then be remembers Finn selflessly sending Rachel to New York and watching them apart. Where despite the distance, seemed to love each other more.

If anyone was going to get the happy ending, it would be them.

Finn and Rachel, leaving everyone behind, directly into the sunset.

His phone beeps, signaling a text message from Rachel.

It's a picture of her and Finn, sprawled out on what he assumes is the floor of their apartment. Finn's smiling at Rachel, with so much love in his eyes, where if you didn't know what love was, you would know without hesitation. Rachel herself is smiling at the camera, so happy he knows it will never go away.

In that moment as he's staring at this perfect example of forever, a familiar song plays from his iPod dock.

Just a small town girl, living in a lonely world,

She took the midnight train going anywhere.

Just a city boy, born and raised in South Detroit,

He took the midnight train going anywhere.

A glass of wine in his hand he says,

"Here's to Finn and Rachel."

A/N 2: I still fully believe they should at least show clips and photos of Finn/Cory as the episode ends, like Finale B (Rent) style, with Don't Stop Believin playing. That would be perfect. Stay tuned for more!
