Chapter One: The Reunion of the Class of 2012

It was ten years to the day that Finn Hudson graduated from William McKinley High School, and ten years since he got out of Lima, Ohio. Tonight was his Class Reunion marking the ten year anniversary of graduation and he was looking forward to seeing everyone again after so long. Of course he saw Kurt all the time seen as his mom and Kurt's dad Burt had married in their freshman year, but everyone else? He hadn't seen them since they graduated. He missed his New Directions more than he told anyone.

He stood in front of his mirror in his hotel room, he had a casual suit on, he hated to be too formal, no matter what the occasion. He would be late if he didn't hurry up, and he didn't want to be late, he was usually the last one there in high school, tonight he intended to be one of the first. He jogged to his car and hopped in, following the familiar roads he took once, a long time ago. When he parked the car he sat and ruffled his hair nervously.

"Come on Hudson, you can do this, it's just the same as before." He said to himself as he climbed out of the car and began walking towards the door. He was shocked to see who was greeting the people at the door; Will Shuester. "Mr. Shue?"

"Finn Hudson? My boy, it's so good to see you." Will walked forward and opened his arms to greet Finn, his smile as big as it used to be. "How've you been Finn?"

"Great , I've never been better, what about you? Kurt said you and Miss Pilsbury had gotten married?"

"Yeah, yeah we did, 5 years ago now, it's going great. Anyways, here's your name tag and you get yourself in there, I want the Glee Club in the choir room at 9 okay?" Will pushed Finn through the doors and into the gym with a name tag in hand. The gym was virtually empty when he went in, only five people.

Rachel Berry stepped out of her car her dress cascading to her knees, she looked up at the school she spent days of her life at. She had missed the school so much more than she truly realized until this minute. The people she wanted to see most of? The Glee Club.

Stepping up to the doors she was greeted by a very happy looking . He looked the same, slightly older but that was expected.

"Oh my gosh!" she ran up and hugged him as he handed her a name tag.

"Rachel it's so good to see you! Everyone else is inside, you are the last one here for a change." He chuckled and hugged her back. "I'm getting the New Directions into the choir room later tonight so, we'll catch up more then."

"Okay , I'll be on time this time." She laughed and walked to the gym doors, stepping through she saw lots of people, and she finally felt at home after so long. She stood looking around when she heard her name being called by someone very familiar.

"Rachel! Girl you made it!" Mercedes walked up to her with a tall man beside her, he had dark hair and blue eyes and he followed her like a lost puppy.

"Mercedes! Oh my god, hey!" Rachel couldn't contain her excitement any longer. She hugged Mercedes before pulling away, she looked so much different, but still so much the same.

"Rachel, this is my fiancé Adam, Adam, this is Rachel, the Broadway star." Adam smiled and held out his hand and Rachel shook it returning his smile. "Rach, we saw you in Spring Awakening just last month, you were so amazing."

"Well that's nothing; I heard your new song on the radio Mercedes! I own your album." The two girls got talking and enjoying each other's company, when other members of the Glee Club started joining them. Before she knew it an hour had gone by, the only person she hadn't seen so far was Finn Hudson, she was starting to miss him and she had yet to realize it.

The clock slowly ticked towards 9:00pm as Finn strolled down the hallways that were still so familiar to him, even after all this time. He was looking down the hallway when the intercom came on, a familiar voice on the other end.

"To a Mr. Finn Hudson, could you please make your way into the choir room, you're late for class… even after ten years." Will's voice announced over the intercom, making him laugh and run the rest of the way. When he saw the door he skidded to a halt through into the room. "New record Finn, it only took you… 35 seconds to run here after the announcement, that beats your personal best."

"Skills , skills. I'm pretty light on my feet now if I do say so myself." Finn laughed, spinning quickly. The rest of the club laughed as Finn went and sat down, but not before catching the eye of one Rachel Berry. The past ten years had done her well, she was more beautiful than when they were in high school, he hadn't thought it was possible.

"So Finn, we all know what everyone else does, but we don't know what you do for a living, I highly doubt you're in a dead end job with a suit like that?" Will said, pulling at the lapel of his own suit. Everyone looked at Finn and he smiled slightly before looking up.

"I'm a music producer; I also have an album coming out soon. I couldn't give up music after what it gave me in high school. It pays the bills and I enjoy it, I couldn't ask for more." He kept on smiling and looked at his old mentor who looked on in pride at what he just said. The rest of the club apart from Kurt looked shocked.

"Finn that's great!"

"Thanks . Now what about you Mercedes, my friends down at Columbia Records are pretty damn pleased with you." Finn laughed, turning to look at Mercedes and her fiancé.

"Well they better be, they work me like a dog down there, but now I know what you do, I might just transfer studios. Let me guess you're the infamous, Hudson Records?" She grinned back as he handed her a business card.

"Damn straight that's me. You call me if you ever need anything, I will hook you up." They laughed and the whole room joined in. "And also, just last week I went to a Broadway production of Spring Awakenings, Rachel you were excellent."

"T-thanks Finn." He smiled and nodded his head slightly. After that Will carried on and started talking more about everything. Finn missed some things because every now and then he would look over to a strikingly beautiful Rachel.

Rachel sat with Tina while she held Artie's hand as he spoke to Mike and his girlfriend about his treatment on his spine, he was on crutches now after a surgery on his spinal cord. Tonight was the best of her year and she never wanted it to end, it felt great to be back as a group again instead of hearing about each other individually. She was shocked when Finn had skidded in, it was like being back in high school apart from now he was a twenty-eight year old distinguished man, not the awkward teenager she knew back then. He was rocking some stubble now and his hair was slightly longer, and he ditched the high school jacket for a suit.

To say Rachel was in awe of him was an understatement; she had begun crushing on him just as she had in high school. He had stood up about five minutes ago to talk to , he was a little bit taller than he once was too she noticed, but when he looked over at her and smiled she was speechless. Finn had seen her on Broadway and thought she was excellent, she never took him for the Broadway type. She turned away and kept talking to Tina, it turns out she and Artie would be getting married in a year and she was expecting. For a while she spoke to Quinn who was living with Puck, and she even spoke to Kurt for a while. He was living with Finn down in L.A.

She went for a drink after an hour or so and when she reached the gym she grabbed a coke and turned around to go back. As she was walking up the hallway Finn walked out looking at his phone, not looking where they were going they collided, both of them fell to the floor and looked up shocked.

"Man I'm sorry Rachel, I wasn't paying attention, a client is texting me." He said as he stood up and held his hand out to help her up. She blushed and laughed as she stood up and straightened her dress out.

"It's okay, no harm done." She smiled and looked up at him, he really did look a lot sexier than he had in high school, and that was hard to do. He had the same cocky smile on his face now as he did then, she internally swooned.

"Okay, well, Hey." He added a little wave for emphasis and chuckled. He still had his old sense of humour, that was good, she'd missed that these past years.

"Hey," she replied laughing, she didn't expect what he did next. He tugged her against his chest in a crushing hug, after a moment or two she returned it her arms wrapping around his waist.

"I missed you Rach. We should have stayed in touch, here I'll give you my number right now while I remember." He let go of her with one arm and grabbed a pen and a business card, writing his number on the back of it. "Now this one on the back is my cell number, but if you ever want to call me at work that's fine too."

"Thanks Finn and I missed you too." She took his pen and his left hand and wrote her number on his hand. "I don't have a fancy work number so you get stuck with me cell number."

"Well that's fine with me. Here come take a walk with me?" He started walking towards the door at the end of the hallway.
