Hey, guys! So I know that I don't post on FanFiction anymore, but since Cory Monteith died, I've felt so bad for the cast and crew, especially Lea. A few days ago I read how Ryan Murphy, producer of the show, knew how he would end the series and this is how I kind of imagined it.
All rights go to Glee.
Rachel Barbra Berry leaned against the cushioned seat of the airplane, giving a heavy sigh. She did it. She graduated from NYADA and had made it big on Broadway, making her name a name that millions will remember forever, but now it was time. It was time for her to go home. Not New York home, but the home where she learned her most valuable lessons in her life; the place where her life had slowly built and where she realized who and what she loved and needed.
Lima Ohio.
It was the place where everything started and she couldn't be more excited to see the familiar faces of her fellow graduates. Since most of them had graduated from college there was going to be a reunion with all the former New Directions alumni. Rachel had informed them that she wouldn't be able to make it and her roommates Kurt and Santana were completely angry at her, but she only did it to surprise them.
A grin spread across her face as the plane landed and she swiftly ran off. After picking her stuff up, Rachel called a taxi and asked him to drive her straight to McKinley High School. She felt herself shaking and quivering from excitement. She bit her lip as the taxi pulled up in front of the crumbling building. Rachel took her stuff and went into the building as she walked through the hallways. She remembered these hallways as if she walked through them just yesterday.
Rachel finally reached the choir room and stopped in front of the door before walking in. There was gleeful chatter and laughing coursing through the room. The laughter slowly died down when Finn Hudson uttered, "Rachel? What are you doing here?"
Rachel bit her lip and stared at all the faces staring back at her. She recognized each and every one of them. From the newbies Marley, Jake, Ryder, Kitty, and Unique to each of her old friends: Artie in his wheelchair and tilted glasses, to Sam with his sexy trouty mouth and confused stare, to Tina with her same cheerfulness and new sass, to Blaine with his arm around Kurt to the same grin, to Mercedes with her wide curious gaze and amazing outfits, to Brittany with her naïve personality and same old ponytail, to Quinn with the same bitchy gaze and same pose, to Puck with his familiar bad boy presence and same cute smirk, to Mike with his same sexy body and spiked hair, to Santana with her same bitchy sneer and crossed arms across her chest, to Kurt with his same familiar style to his same warm smile, to Mr. Shue with his old vest and proud beam, to Finn with his same awkward pose to his warm sweet goofy grin.
Finn cleared his throat and repeated his sentence, but this time without confusion, but with glee. "What are you doing here?"
Rachel answered with a simple and truthful remark. "I'm home."
