Scene 2
Finn was unlocking a door in a hallway that looked well kept and nice.
Kurt: I can't believe we found two apartments in the same building.
Finn: I know, they were both such great prices too.
He walked into the apartment. There was a dirty love seat with a leg missing, in front of that was the world's smallest TV that Finn assumed didn't work anyway. He knew Rachel would want curtains for the window in the living room that exposed the neighboring apartment building. The one bedroom they had was the best with a livable bed and a window that was covered by a bed sheet, the closet was small, but there was dresser left for them, he didn't mind giving the closet to Rachel. The kitchen was the worst so far, Finn didn't dare check the restroom yet. Both the fridge and the oven needed a scrub down and the faucet was classically leaky. The cabinet's paint was chipping and peeling, with one hanging on by the hinge.
Kurt: That makes sense.
Scene 3
Rachel was waiting for Mercedes to arrive at a coffee shop.
Mercedes: Hey girl.
Rachel(in a shrilly voice): Hi! I can't believe it we are finally here pursuing our dreams.
Mercedes: At least you know what you're doing.
Rachel: You wanted a record deal right? Well going to NYU might not get you that but you discover a new dream like teaching or performing arts?
Mercedes: I like the idea of Miss Jones, but no matter what i choose to do at NYU I will not give up my dream. You didn't when you choked at your audition.
Rachel: Oh, don't ring that up. Just remember we came here together, so you better invite us to any audition you have with a label.
Mercedes: Of course.
Rachel pulled out her phone.
Rachel: Finn and Kurt are already at the apartment cleaning up. Do you wanna go?
Mercedes: Naw, I paid the down payment, he can clean up.
Mercedes and Rachel smile and walk into the coffee shop.
Scene 4
Rachel had a disgusted look on her face as she walked through her apartment.
Rachel: I told you we should have come down during the summer instead of just answering an ad on craigslist.
Finn: I tried my best o clean up.
Rachel looked at the honesty in his eyes.
Rachel: It doesn't matter, really. I mean we are here right? Together.
Finn: Yeah.
He holds her for a while then the kiss.
Flash to Kurt and Mercedes apartment.
Kurt is standing in the living room.
Kurt: It ain't as bad as the Hudson's up stairs. They left us two beds.
Mercedes: We can work with this.
Mercedes pulls her bags to their bed room.
Mercedes: I knew we should have went home searching on our own.
Kurt: I guess it is what we get for trusting Dumbo Jr.
They begin cleaning up, for a few seconds then Mercedes stops.
Mercedes: Can we just do it tomorrow, it was a long trip, and I need a tot injection before I go comatose.
Kurt: Are you kidding me, N.Y.A.D.A. class's start Monday which means I only have the weekend to settle in!
Mercedes: Okay, okay, drama queen calm down,
20 minutes then we are all going to that bar down te street.
Kurt rolled his eyes.
Mercedes: Come on Kurt. We are in New York, we have the rest of our lives to worry about problems like this we need to enjoy life now.
They stare at their apartment.
Kurt: Hard to join life when it looks this bad.
Kurt starts cleaning up and Mercedes rolls her eyes.
Scene 5
Mike was lying on his bed tossing a soccer ball in the air making it spin waiting for his roommate to arrive. He heard someone outside of his room and he jumped up. A muscular guy walked in and made Mike a little intimidated. This guy seemed too old to be going back to school and way too old to have just started.
Man: Hey son looks like your roommate's already here.
A much younger yet still intimidating man walked in. (Special guest star Zac Efron): Hi I'm Ian.
Mike: Mike Chang.
They shake hands.
Man: I'm Ian's father Edward.
Mike: Hello.
Mike: I hope you didn't mind I kind of already choose a bed, but if you have a problem I can move.
Ian: Yeah actually I do have a problem.
Mike: oh, okay I'll just…
Ian: Dude, I'm kidding
Mike smiles to hide his embarrassment.
Edward: Ian stop messing with your buddy, you're gonna be living together for the next year, Maybe the next four years.
Ian: Come on dad. I had to break the ice a little.
Ian went into the hall to get more stuff.
Edward: Listen Ian isn't used to being away from his family so please do me a favor and be there for him.
Mike: Yeah of course. I'll treat him like a brother.
Ian came in.
Ian: So Mike, what are you taking?
Mike: Mostly dancing classes, I have one performing arts class and one singing class.
Ian: Ah, singing. That's my thing. I'm focusing on singing and performing arts but dancing sounds like fun. Maybe I'll give it a try.
Mike: Yeah, I'm not the best singer in the world but I'm okay, That's why I'm taking the class. I wanted to get better.
Ian: Oh, if you want I'll help on one condition. Help me with my dancing skills?
Mike: Done.
They shake hands.
Mike: Need help?
Ian: Yeah.
Mike: I as thinking about going to a bar later just to hang out wanna come?
Ian: Sure, just don't tell my dad. He's a little over protective
Mike: Mine too.
Scene 6
Ian and Mike were walking in the street.
Ian: This Tina girl sounds amazing.
Mike: Hey I am trying to get over her here dude.
Ian: Oh, I know, but i am just saying the truth, I mean she broke up with you so you can achieve your dreams. That sounds amazing to me.
Mike: She was a great girl.
Ian: Oh come on now Mike, don't go all doom and gloom on me here. Remember where you are, New York city.
They walk into a bar.
Ian: Find us a seat, I'll buy us some drinks.
Mike sits down.
Pan across the bar to a booth with Finn, Rachel, Mercedes, and Kurt.
Kurt: I still think you guys should wait it out.
Rachel: I have waited. we decided next summer we will be legally married.
Finn: Yeah.
Mercedes:It is still too soon, you guys just started living together.
Rachel: But we love each other.
Kurt: And we totally believe you.
Mercedes:100%, but people change and things happen, and once your married, you're trapped.I know thats a bad way to put but its true.
Kurt and Mercedes kept talking but were muted as music began playing.
Rachel- I just want you close, when you can stay forever. You can be sure that it will only get better. You and me together, through the days and nights. i don't worry 'cause everything's gonna be alright. People keep talkin'
Finn- They can say what they like but all I know is

Mercedes: Finn, Rachel! Are you listening to us?
Pan back to Mike
Mike had a confused look on his face.
Ian: Hello? Earth to Mike, are you there man?
Mike: Shh
Ian: Okay, I think you officially lost it.
Mike: No, wait I thought I heard something.
Mike smiled as he pinpointed the noise.
Mike: Hey, you wanna meet some friends of mine?
Ian: Yeah, sure.
Mike and Ian get up and walk over to the Hummel, Berry, Hudson, Jones table.
Mike: Mercedes Jones, I see you are still a Diva.
Mercedes: Mike!
Everyone greets him.
Mercedes: what do you mean still, as if I'll ever stop.
Rachel: what are you doing here?
Mike: Attending Juilliard.
Rachel: Oh my god really?
Mike: Yeah.
Finn: When did you get in?
Mike: A while ago, I just never told anyone because I wanted to stay closer to Tina, but she left me.
Mercedes: oh, she told me.
Mike: She was right, It would have made her the bad guy and I know deep down I would have hated her for it.
Ian: I tried to tell him.
Everyone looks at Ian.
Mike: Oh, my bad, ah, everyone, this is Ian, my roommate at Juilliard. Ian, this is my high school friends from glee club, Finn Hudson, Kurt Hummel, Mercedes Jones, and Rachel Berry.
Ian: Hi.
everyone said hello.
As Mike and Ian sat down Kurt couldn't help but keep his eyes on Ian.
Mercedes elbowed him under the table and gave him a not again look.
Rachel: So how is your guy's dorm room?
Ian: It is amazing.
Mike: yeah we got...
Rachel: See, we could have had door rooms.
Finn: Wait did you not want to live with me?
Rachel: No, but you could have went to NYADA.
Finn: I don't want to go to NYADA. I want to act, on T.V. not on Broadway.
Rachel: But NYADA is just a good of school to learn acting...
Finn: Rachel stop I made my choice. I'm going to the Actors Filming Studio, here in New York, Isn't that good enough.
Ian:Wow, they fight like they're a married couple.
Mercedes: Oh, they're not married, yet, they're only engaged.
Ian: Wait, you're engaged?
Rachel: Yes, we're planning on getting married next summer.
Ian: That will be interesting.
Finn: Why?
Mike: Okay, let's change the subject.
Ian:Only because you guys don't look like you'll last.
Finn: And why not?
Mike: Ian please don't.
Ian: You know it is none of my business. I just met you guys so I have no right to speak out like that. I'm sorry. Can we forget and move on?
Rachel smiled: Sure (she looked up at Finn) Finn?
Finn: Yeah.
Ian: Finn, actors studio in New York, impressive.
Finn: Thanks, but it's no Juilliard. What are you taking there?
Ian: Mostly singing classes.
Rachel: You can sing?
Ian: Yeah, I think I can sing.
Kurt gets a big smile on his face.
Ian: Now NYADA, sounds familiar, what's that again?
Rachel: New York Academy of Dramatic Arts, it's only THE Broadway school to be at.
Ian: Broadway used to be a dream but I realized I loved singing a bit more than just performing.
Rachel: I want to be one of the biggest stars someday.
Ian: With that attitude you will be. Kurt right?
Kurt nodded.
Ian: What are you doing?
Kurt: NYADA, same as Rachel.
Ian: Oh okay, and Mercedes?
Mercedes: NYU. I don't know what I want to major in yet but I am hoping to get a record label.
Ian: New York dreams. They are so big. That's why I love this city.
Everyone sat at the booth as they think about heir future.
Scene 7
Ian: Your friends are pretty fun. I can't believe you won a national championship.
Mike: We all tried really hard for three years, so I think we deserved it.
Ian: Yeah, I just never met anyone who is famous.
Mike: Its not like any of us were on T.V., except for this one time.
Ian: What no way ?
Mike: Yeah, we performed for a mattress commercial.
Ian: I can only guess, Jump.
Mike: Pretty obvious right?
Ian: No, I've seen the commercial before it's really good.
Mike: Oh, thanks.
Ian: I really enjoy your friends, I hope we can all meet up again, I don't know many people around here.
Mike: Yeah, I think they loved you too.
Mike and Ian walk down the streets with thier coats on laughing.
Scene 8
The Hummel-Jones apartment.
There is knocking from the door and both Mercedes and Kurt are still in bed. Kurt gets up looking horrible and opens the door. Rachel is standing in the door way dressed with a smile on her for a second then shuts the door. She knocks again.
Kurt: What troll?
Rachel stares at him surprised.
Kurt: Sorry, I'm not a morning person.
Rachel walks in and examines the apartment.
Rachel: Oh, it looks nice. And quaint.
Kurt: What did you want Rachel?
Rachel: Finn is starting orientation at the actors studio, I called Mike and him and Ian are going to the park. So I was figuring we can have a ladies day.
Mercedes: Who is it?
Kurt: Berry.
Mercedes: Ugh, what does she want?
Kurt: She planning a ladies day.
Mercedes: Fine, I'm up now!
Kurt: We'll be right out Rachel, help yourself to whatever you like, except our food, and drinks, and air.
Kurt walked into the bedroom and closed the door.
Scene 9
Mike: So, did any girl break your heart.
Ian: Just one, Gwen, she was amazing. She was, I guess my Tina, except the roles were reversed here. She had an offer to go to Yale, so she left me.
Mike: Wow, tough.
Ian: But here I am in New York, going to Juilliard, making new friends. You know I went through some stuff in my life but it only got me to right here. So I don't regret any of it.
Mike:That's a positive attitude. I don't think I an view life like that.
Ian: Mike, don't get me wrong. I hate the things that happen to me, I don't love them. But they happened right? Life is too good to regret any of it.
Mike: That is a good point, you want a hot dog, I'll buy.
Ian: Sure.
Mike tossed him the foot ball they brought.
Ian: I'll wait here.
He waited as Mike walked over to the hot dog stand.
Ian heard his cell phone ring and digged through his pocket.
Ian: Hello.
He stood there as he waited for the other person to speak.
Ian: Hey dad.(pause) I'm out with my room mate.(pause) Yeah we have been getting along great.(pause)No, not yet. I don't think it is the best time, I just met the guy.(pause) Well I don't want to freak out the guy, that would seem weird if I just told him at random.(pause) I will tell him, when we get to be better friends. So far we have been real brothers, and I need the company if I am going to live here the next four years.(Pause) Alright bye, love you.
He hung up his phone and looked over at Mike who was coming back with two hotdogs in his hand.
Scene 10
Finn had a fun time looking at all of the classes at campus, including the stage, in which they put on a show every three viewed every class from the filming classes to the dramatic arts classes. The acting classes had lots of props which looked like fun to him. He got his school schedule then went back to the seats set up waiting to make sure the tour was over. It was not. The teacher walked across the small stage to pull down a projector screen. But he was to short to reach it. He asked for help and Finn was about to accept when a boy a couple of seats down from him just stood to pull down the screen. he too could not reach so Finn stood up and pulled the screen boy that did get up gave Finn an angry stare. As he sat down most of the people were smirking at him.
Teacher: Thank you...
He paused trying to read the name tag Finn had on.
Teacher: Finn.
Finn sat back down next to the girl he was sitting next to looking back at the guy, who looked a little pissed. The girl next to Finn then spoke up.
Girl: Don't worry about him.
Finn looked at the girl and he admitted was hot,(No, no, Finn, Your engaged, your engaged). She was wearing a black blouse with a red tank under, darker skinny jeans and converse. She had a black hoddie on her lap. And the most amazing red hair Finn had ever seen which is what caught his eye.
Finn: You know him?
Finn looked for a name tag then stopped and realized that the action looked inappropriate from her point of view.
She smiled and turned her chest to Finn.
Lilly: Lilly,(Stacey Farber, "Ellie" from Degrassi).
Finn: Finn.
They shake hands.
Finn: Do you know him?
Finn looked back at the guy again who was taking notes.(Notes? Are we supposed to do that?) Finn got a panicky look on his face.
Lilly: Hey don't freak. He's just a huge over achiever. He also thinks he should be in charge of everything.
Finn: How do you know him?
Finn took a last look to examine him again. His hair was a bit shaggy. He had a button up black,white and grey on unbutton, with a white T-shirt under, he had a leather jacket on as well. he had solid black jeans and black stylish heavy shoes.
Lilly: We are from the same home town, which was small which means we were at the same high school,which was also small which means we pretty much had every class together which is how I know he is a over achiever.
Finn nodded and looked back at the slide show presentation.
Lilly: I would watch out if I was you, he doesn't like to be out shown.
Finn looked at Lilly: Thanks.
Lilly:After the tour do you want to go and get some lunch?
Finn: Sure.
He said without thinking. he had a oh crap look on his face then took out his phone and texted Rachel his plan.
Scene 11
Lilly and Finn were sitting in a diner waiting for their food to arrive.
Finn: I can't believe you ordered a triple meaty burger.
Lilly: I love my meat.
Finn: Me too.
Finn smiled.
Finn: So were you from?
Lilly: Like I said a small town. You probably never heard of it.
Finn: Try me.
Lilly: Aream in Mississippi.
Finn: That's not fair I got a c- in geography.
Lilly: What about you?
Finn: Lima, Ohio.
Lilly smiled and nodded.
Finn: You have no idea where that is, do you?
Lilly smiled and laughed: No not rally. Their food arrived.
The boy from earlier walked up to them. (Charlie From the glee project).
Boy: Hello Lilly.
Lily: James.
Lilly paused from shoving down her food
James turned to Finn: What is your problem humungo?
Finn got a surprised yet pissed look on his face.
James: You humiliated me in front of the class.
Finn: we weren't in class.
James: You still made me look bad and I want you to apologize.
Finn: Really?
James: Yeah.
Finn: Okay, I'm sorry I humiliated you?
James: I accept. So are you guys excited?
Lilly: Yeah.
James: I can't believe we are in New York. It is so amazing the first time isn't it?
Finn: I've been here before.
James: No one asked.
Finn: But you kind of did.
James ignored his statement: Well I got to go explore this city, I'll see you later Finn.
Lilly: Bye Finn.
She wrapped up her food and stood to leave.
Finn: Wait, where are you going?
James: We're going home first.
Lilly: Then sightseeing.
Finn: Wait you guys together.
James: Of course.
Lilly: I told you I didn't know one didn't I? So me moving in with James felt safe.
Finn had a disappointed look on his face.
Lilly: Don't worry we're not dating.
Lilly laughed as she left with James.
Finn had an uh-oh look as they left (I think I gave her the wrong impression.)
Scene 12
Rachel: All I'm saying is that if we wanted a productive day we should have left your house a whole lot earlier.
Mercedes: It's obviously not the New Yorker way to get up early.
The three stood in the coffee shop line waiting to order.
Mercedes: So when is NYADA opening its doors for class.
Rachel: Freshmen, Orientation starts Monday classes start Tuesday.
Mercedes: Isn't NYADA having auditions for its first musical tomorrow?
Kurt: Yes, Rachel and I are both auditioning for it.
Mercedes nodded not paying attention because during their conversation she noticed a cute barista making coffee.
Mercedes: Oh Okay, Hope you guys whatever check out hottie at 11 o'clock.
Kurt and Rachel give quick glances.
Rachel: Cute.
Kurt: Are you kidding me he's all kinds of hot.
They spoke about him as they got closer o the front.
Guy: What can I get you?
Kurt and Rachel gave their orders.
Guy: And for you?
Mercedes: I'm good thanks, Anthony.
Anthony: No problem. (Bryce from the glee project)
Mercedes: I'm Mercedes.
Anthony: Are you guys new in town?
Rachel: Yes college fresh meat you can say.
Anthony: Oh, where are you guys attending?
Kurt: We're attending NYADA.
Anthony: Great school.
Rachel: You know of it?
Anthony: Yeah, I lived in New York my whole life so, I'm pretty knowledgeable about this place. So where are you going?
Mercedes: NYU.
Anthony: Me too.
Mercedes: Maybe you can give me a tour.
Anthony: Yeah sure.
Woman: Hello!
Anthony: I better get back to work; these student loans aren't going to pay themselves off. I'll see ya next week during orientation.
Mercedes: See ya.
Rachel and Kurt walk out with Mercedes while drinking their coffee's.
Mercedes: Let's go around the corner.
Rachel: Why?
Mercedes: Because I really did want coffee.
They begin walking in the street talking.
Scene 13
Rachel, Kurt, and Mercedes are at a different coffee shop drinking and talking, Finn sits down, he kisses Rachel and gives a wave and hello to Kurt and Mercedes.
Rachel: How did it go?
Finn: Great the school is amazing.
Kurt: How are the teachers?
Finn: They seem pretty relaxed.
Rachel: Have you signed up for any activities?
Finn: No, not yet, I wanna get my feet in the ground first, you know?
Mercedes: Have you met anyone?
Finn: I met a few people who where okay.
Mercedes: Okay?
Finn: Well, I met this one girl who was really cool, and her roommate who already hates me. I apparently embarrassed him in front of everyone. I guess he's just really cocky and got his feelings hurt when I showed him up.
Mercedes: Sounds like he's competitive.
Kurt: You think that's bad Broadway actors are ten times more competitive than T.V. actors.
Rachel: I agree, it's easy to get a movie or T.V. role but a Broadway role is something people would kill for.
Mike and Ian came in and said hi to everyone.
Kurt: What are you guys doing here.
Mike: Not really sure, Rachel texted us this address and told us to be here as soon as possible.
Rachel: I was hoping to go see a Broadway show although we may be starting to run low on funds.
Mercedes: Flat broke is more like it.
Rachel: But Still we could enjoy one show before we start getting super busy.
Ian: You know I'm super rich, I could help with funds.
Mike: How rich?
Ian: Between Paris Hilton and two of The Beverly Hills housewives combined.
Finn: That's rich.
Ian: I can pay for your guys tickets.
Rachel: No, no that's too much to ask.
Ian: Fine, I'll, sugar coat it, Mike Your birthday wasa few days ago right?
Finn: It was.
Ian: Bam happy birthday. Mercedes, You made the down payment on your apartment right?
Mercedes nodded.
Ian: Here is my home welcoming gift Kurt, congrats on graduation. Let's see that just leaves you too.

Scene 14
Mike: That was really cool, what what you did for us back there. You are a really good friend.
Ian: Any friend other than good shouldn't be allowed right?
Mike: Yeah.
They were both in line to buy tickets. They moved up a little in the line.
Mike: So how did your family become so rich.
Ian: Honestly thats one thing I am going have to ignore. I just would rather not talk about it.
Mike: That's cool.
hey moved up to a sale's clerk.
Ian: 6 seats in row c.
Mike widened his eyes: Those are great seats, that gotta be expensive. We could honestly sit farther back.
Ian: I am treating you guys so don't worry about it.
Ian paid her high fee.
Ian: Text everyone and tell them they better look sharp.
Mike smiled and pulled out his phone.
Scene 15
Rachel opened her phone to check it and laughed.
Rachel: Mike said to look our best and that Ian got us great seats.
She put her phone down and walked back into the bathroom to finish getting ready. She already had on a beautiful black and white dress on. Finn walked in wearing a sharp suit.
Finn: well, well?
Rachel: Handsome, me?
Finn: Beautiful.
Rachel: Alright let's meet Kurt and Mercedes down stairs.
Finn: Wait, I love you.
Rachel smiled as she felt that warm feeling she hadn't felt in a while, she couldn't tell if it was from Finn or Wicked but it felt right.
Rachel: I love you too.
They kiss.
Flash

Scene 19
Rachel and Kurt are sitting in the Auditorium waiting for auditions to start when Mike and Ian sneak behind them. They look at each other counting to three then shaking their shoulders.

Rachel: You would think but there are two people in front of us already.
Ian: Who?
Rachel: This couple named Jenna and Benny.
Julia: It's Julia and Bernard.
(Shanna and Abraham The Glee Project)
Bernard: It's not like you we blame you, we hear you came from a retarded school.
Kurt: A retarded school that won show choir nationals.
Julia: Oh, don't to cocky Hun, it was just a sympathy win.
Mike rolled his eyes.
Rachel: So are you going to a rave or something.
They both had rebellious rocker clothes on.
Julia: We are going to get up there and kick your...
Bernard: Hold t dear, save it for the song.
Man: Bernard and Julia.
They smiled and walk toward the stage.
Kurt: Okay, what was with their costumes.
Ian: Guys we are so sorry.
Mike: Yeah, if we known this was going to happen we would have told you guys last night.
Ian: This is a rock musical.
Rachel and Kurt widened their eyes in surprise.
The music for Bowling For Soup's High School Never Ends song begins.
Bernard- Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh-Oh,Oh, Oh, Oh-Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh-Oh.
Julia- Hey!
Bernard- Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh-Oh,Oh, Oh, Oh-Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh-Oh.
Julia- Hey! Four years you think for sure.
Bernard- That's all you got to endure.
Julia- All the total dicks.
Bernard- All the stuck up chicks.
Julia- So superficial, so immature.
Bernard- Then when you graduate.
Julia- You take a look around and you say
Julia and Bernard- Hey wait!
Bernard- This is the same as where i just came from
Julia- I thought it was over, ah thats just great.
Julia and Bernard- The whole the damn world is just as obsessed with who's the best dressed and who's having sex. Who's got the money who gets the honeys. Who's kinda cute and who's just a mess.
Julia- And you still don't have the right look and you don't have the right friends.
Bernard- Nothin' changes but the faces the names and the trends.
Julia and Bernard- High school never ends!
Bernard- Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh-Oh,Oh, Oh, Oh-Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh-Oh.
Julia- Hey!
Bernard- Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh-Oh,Oh, Oh, Oh-Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh-Oh.
Julia-Hey!
Julia-Check out the popular kids, you'll never guess what Jessica did!
Bernard-And did Mary Kate lose all that weight?
Julia- And Katie had baby,
Julia and Bernard- So I guess Tom's straight!
Julia- And the only thing that matters is climbing up that social ladder.
Bernard-Still care about your hair and the car you drive, doesn't matter if your sixteen or thirty five.
Julia and Bernard- The whole damn world is just as obsessed with who's the best dressed and who's having sex, Who's in the club and who's on the drugs and who's throwing up before they digest.
Julia and Bernard both point at Rachel and Kurt at this point of the song.
Julia- And you still don't have the right look.
Bernard- And you don't have the right friends, Oh! High school never ends.
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh-Oh,Oh, Oh, Oh-Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh-Oh.
Julia- High school never ends!
Bernard-Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh-Oh,Oh, Oh, Oh-Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh-Oh.
Julia- High school never ends!
Bernard-Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh-Oh,Oh, Oh, Oh-Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh-Oh.
Julia- Here we go again.
Bernard-Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh-Oh,Oh, Oh, Oh-Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh-Oh.
Julia and Bernard bow and eye Rachel and Kurt as they walk off stage.
Kurt: Rachel, what are we going to do.
Rachel: Leave, leave now!
Mike: See you guys.
Rachel and Kurt stand up and rush out as Julia and Bernard walk up to Mike and Ian.
Julia: Where did your friends go?
Ian: Family emergency, they had to go.
Mike: Yeah or they would have totally shown you up.
Bernard:That's not an excuse, my mother was choking on a snack during a third grade performance of Thanksgiving dinner and I stayed in character as Indian Number 1.
Mike: Well they actually have souls.
Ian: Now excuse us we have to practice.
They leave Julia and Bernard.
Julia:Oh my God! We made Rachel Berry nervous.
Bernard: I can't believe it!
Scene 20
Rachel: I have never been so embarrassed Finn.
Finn: Hey, I bet if you had known about this earlier you would have gotten that lead. You are amazing Rachel.
Rachel: I know, but I always feel imperfect, I keep getting myself down when I know I'm great.
Finn: Okay Then ignore yourself and think of the people listening to you. They come because they want to hear you, they want to be entertained. Never forget your star power Rachel, I love you.
Rachel: I love you too.
Finn and Rachel lay in the bed and continue to talk about their day as the screen turns black.
