GLEE 10 YEARS LATER
Rachel's pov
I walked with my head held high as I strutted down the halls of McKinley high. It has been ten years since and yet nothing has changed. Sure the paint was still a bit faded and the lockers had more blood stains but it still had that smell of teen spirit. My eyes tear up a bit as I remembered all the good memories that had happened here. Most of them involving a certain quarterback. "Stop it Rachel, Finns long gone. You don't need him anymore" I muttered to myself. Finn and I had broken up two years after I had left for New York. Well actually he dumped me but I benefited from it. As a matter of fact, I got my big break two weeks after we broke up. Sure it was a Cinderella musical with me being the understudy of a mouse, but that's just the beginning. First Cinderella's mouse next is the witch Elphaba. Finally, I had reached my destination. The choir room. I took a deep breath and walked in. Nostalgia hit me a like a ten ton car. Everybody was here. There was Quinn beautiful as ever with an expressionless face. Kurt and his husband Blaine were right behind her discussing something quietly with Mercedes. Santana and Brittany were right next to them cuddling. At the corner was Puck and his girlfriend Lauren making out. Right below them was Artie talking to Sam about God knows what. Tina and Mike were running around chasing a little boy. And there, sitting in his usual spot, was Finn. He looked exactly the same but a tad older and tired. I acknowledged him with a small smile which he responded with his crooked smile. My heart galloped in my chest as I sat next to him. "Hi Finn you look well" I said while trying to slow my heartbeat. "Hey Rachel" he said "You look beautiful." Our eyes met and for a moment I was speechless. Of course at that moment decided to walk in. "Hey guy's wow you have not changed a bit" he said cheerfully. "I can see you haven't either . I see you're still obsessed with vests." Santana said from behind. I could tell she was still the same old bitchy Santana. "Nice to see you too Santana" Mr. Shue said with a forced smile he usually reserved for her. I raised my hand high in the air. I didn't wait for him to call on me "Not that I don't enjoy seeing my fellow glee clubbers again but what exactly are we here? All you put in the letter is that it was extremely important and urgent." Mr. Shue turned to me with his thank-you-Rachel-for-bringing-it up- smile "Thank you Rachel for bringing it. Okay guys the reason for all of you being here is because after a lot of hard work and money, me and Emma have arranged something we like to call….Return To McKinley High For A Week!" Instead of a bunch of excitement, there was silence."I don't like where this is going" Mercedes said "Please elaborate ' Kurt said. continued slightly less upbeat "Well um me and Emma were thinking…"
*Flashback* Wills POV
"God I really do miss my old kids. These kids aren't as confident or close as the original ones" I said sadly. "Yeah kids these days seem so unhappy and moody. As if they sucked the joy out of them" Emma said while eating a piece of celery. "I just wish I could show them that Glee can be fun and happy you know?" I said frustrated. I munched on my cookie while trying to brainstorm ideas. "It's too bad you can't just ship your old Glee kids here to show them how fun it could be" Emma said mindlessly. My head snapped up "What did you say?" I said excitedly "I said that it was too bad you couldn't ship your old Glee kids here to show your new kiddos that Glee is fun" she repeated while wiping away crumbs from her side of the table. "Emma, that's it!" I said excitedly and stood up. "What's it?" she asked curiously. "We should invite all my old students back here to show the glee kids some joy!" I said while pacing. "Will I didn't mean that seriously. You can't just ship all your old glee members here unnoticed! Where will they stay? What will they do here? Most importantly how much will it cost?" Emma said nervously. "Yeah you're right…" I said discouraged and sat down again. "Unless you invite them here on spring break when everybody's out, have them come at their own will, set up classrooms with air mattresses for them to stay in, and had it Okayed with principle Figgins." She said quietly with a small smile. "Thank you Emma!" I said and pecked her on her lips.
Ten Minutes Later
"I don't know William, I never trusted your kids" said. "Look well supervise them with cameras and have them signed papers and have them chip in for food" I pleaded. Mr. Figgins still looked unconvinced so I pulled out my best arguing point "We'll have them hold a concert and have all funds go to the school" I said. A big grin spread on his face "Okay William we have ourselves a deal" he said.
Present (Rachel's POV)
The room was so quiet you could hear a mouse's heartbeat. Suddenly the room broke out in an uproar "What do you mean we have to stay-"Quinn started "What about Mike Jr.-" Tina said "Hold up are there tater to-" Mercedes started "Why would we want to stay-" Puck said "SHUT UP!" Finn suddenly yelled. Everybody got quiet and turned to Finn with mixed facial expressions."Are we being sent back to school because we flunked life?" Brittany questioned. Everybody gave her the usual oh-that-Brittany- look. "Okay continue " Finn said to , ignoring the murmurs behind him. "Look you guys don't have to stay but I would really appreciate it. Just think about ok? I'll be outside talking to Emma when you guys decide" said and walked out. He wasn't even gone for two seconds before everybody broke out talking and complaining. Soon I couldn't take it anymore and stood up "Okay guys listen up I think we should all do this" I said loud enough to get everybody quiet. "Why should we listen to you?" Santana sneered at me. "Yeah I don't exactly want to stay in school for an entire week" Puck added. Soon the uproar started again. "GUYS," Finn yelled "let her finish." Once again I had everybody's attention. "I understand where you guys are coming from considering that I was bullied and slushied multiple times here but I think we should do it for " I said pleadingly. Everybody exchanged wary glances. "I'll do it" Finn said. I turned to him with grateful eyes and he smiled. "Me and Blaine have decided to do it to" Kurt added. "Yeah I'll do it to. The tater tots are amazing here" Mercedes said. "I guess me and Brit-Brit will gets our high school on" Santana said slightly annoyed but with a hint of a smile. Soon everybody had agreed to do it except for Quinn who was stoned face and quiet. "Quinn?" I asked hopefully along with everybody else. She continued to ignore me and everybody else. Sam suddenly reached over and grabbed her hand "Please?" he pleaded. She stared at him for a while then slid her hand out of his "Fine." She said emotionless. Everybody cheered. "Well lets go tell Mr. Shue" Kurt said and walked out with everybody following him. I lagged behind with a smile on my face. 'You did great" Finn said from behind me. I turned "Well as usual they listened to the leader. You" I replied with a shrug. "Nah I just shut them up. You did most of the work" he said with a grin. I smiled up at him while my heart raced. "Well lets go break the good news to " he said, taking my hand and leading me out of the room. Deep inside, I knew that I still loved him but the problem is that I didn't know how he felt. It was going to be a looooooooooooog week.
