A/N: This is my first fanfic I've ever published, so please be please be nice when commenting :) I hope you enjoy. This is just basically about the day the Gleeks graduate from high school, and them looking back on memories from their lives. Each chapter is a little vignette, I guess you could call it. If anyone has done a similar idea before, or has used a similar idea in one of the memories, I did NOT mean to steal your work/ideas and it is merely a coincidence. I guess you could say the main ships are Finn/Rachel, Quinn/Puck, and Tina/Artie, with puny bits of other ships, but really it concentrates more on characters on their own. I'll upload a few chapters today, but then I'll wait until I get at the very least five reviews. They'll keep me motivated :) I'm going to shut up now so you can read!

Disclaimer: I don't own Glee, though I sure wish I did.

Song: Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) - Green Day

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right
I hope you had the time of your life

It was graduation day. The sky was ironically gray and dreary, as if it was foreshadowing the bland, unpromising futures of the WMHS senior class. The football field was a sea of red and white, the school colors. Finn Hudson twitched nervously in his seat, but winked at his girlfriend Rachel as she climbed up the stage. She would sing the national anthem in a few minutes. He had those few minutes to relive his short life of eighteen years.

If he looked behind him, he could see Puck, who was most likely thinking more about the girls he could bang in college than his academic future. Quinn was just a couple rows ahead of Finn, chatting quietly with Santana and Brittany. Artie's wheelchair was in the first row, but Artie couldn't take his eyes off of Tina, a few rows behind. Kurt, his step-brother, sat right next to him, asking Finn every other second if the mortarboard was messing up his hair. His mother and step-father, Burt, sat in the stands holding hands. Finn saw a tear running down his mom's face and felt like crying himself.

"Your dad would be so proud," his mom mouthed, and Finn's memories trickled back into his mind.

Preschool

"Mommy, where's Daddy?" Finn Hudson asked, pushing his toy car along the rough carpeting.

His mom's smile broke into the strangest expression.

"What do you mean, honey?"

"Daddy. Where is he? Bring Your Dad to School Day is next week, and everyone's talking about their dads. But all I have is a picture. I don't know who he is or where he went."

She ruffled his hair. "Your daddy's away. He got in an accident while he was in the army, and he's in a better place now."

"How can that place be better than here?"

"I don't know, hun." Her voice cracked. She pulled Finn into her lap and stroked his hair.

"Is he ever gonna come back?" he asked softly.

"No, honey. But he's always thinking about you."

Just a little preview. ;) Please review, it means so much to me!
