I'm sorry I've been slacking so much lately. I guess I've been busy and have been having writer's block. Enjoy!

The last week of school had finally arrived which meant graduation time, lot of parties and the start to the rest of their lives. Rachel could hardly believe that her four years at McKinley were over and she was going to miss everything about that school. She had after all, fell in love with the man of her dreams, showed off her stardom and won nationals. Everything happened here that were the milestones of her life, and it was coming to an end. Even though she wouldn't admit it, she would miss Santana's bitchiness, Karofsky's ignorant comments and Noah's ways of luring every girl he met, until he got with Quinn. She closed her locker and breathed in the air, one more day left until graduation.

"I'm going to pull a Boy Meets World graduation man." Finn explained to Puck, who looked back at him confused, never even hearing of that show.
"What the hell is Boy Meets World? Sounds gay man." Puck said, rubbing his hands through his hair, which no longer possessed a Mohawk.
"It's this show from like the nineties or something but the chick totally proposed to the main character at their graduation." Puck still looked at Finn, obviously not putting two and two together. "I'M GONNA PROPOSE TO RACHEL AT GRADUATION!" He said, smacking Puck's forehead, Puck growling.
"That's totally GAY! Proposals are like suppose to be romantic and all girly. The girl's suppose to cry! Berry's not gonna cry at that, well maybe she will since she cries at everything.."
"Watch it man. I don't wanna to do a typical proposal that everyone does..I want it to be original. I think that's the word for it."
"Well if you're going for original don't go for that dude. You know what Rachel likes."
"She likes that the whole school knows I'm hers. She gets all like Godzilla on anyone who tries to hug me.."
Puck chuckled.
"Yeah, she's a real keeper." Sarcasm was overflowing in his statement, causing Finn to punch him in the arm. Puck in return, hit Finn back and before you knew it they were wrestling on the bedroom floor.
"I knew one day you'd come out! Wait till I tell Blaine!" Kurt exclaimed clapping joyfully, as he had barged into Finn's room. Finn and Puck stood up and Puck charged at Kurt, while Finn quickly held him back.
"Kurt, we were just wrestling." Finn responded, confused as to what was going on.
"If you say so Finn." Kurt responded, obviously teasing the two boys as he walked away laughing. Puck continued to scowl as the feminine boy walked away, out of sight.
-glee-
"Alright guys. As your graduation rapidly approaches I just want to let you guys know how proud I am of you and how far you've come. You've really seen the true meaning of glee club and you all sorted out your differences and came together like a family. You guys are going to accomplish great things once you leave here." Mr. Shue said, trying his best not to tear up. It was the glee clubs last day together and everyone was upset. Even Santana.
"Mr. Shue! Can I talk to you for a second?" Finn asked awkwardly, obviously embarrassed at what he was talking to Mr. Shue about but Mr. Shue had become the sort of father figure in Finn's life. He always went to him for advice, and he always knew what to say to Finn to make him feel better. The best part was, he didn't use really big words like Rachel did sometimes, and Finn enjoyed that. Big words just weren't his thing.
"Sure Finn, what's up?"
-glee-
Rachel stood in front of the mirror in her cap and gown. She couldn't believe she was graduating today and heading off to Julliard in September. Luckily, Finn was going to NYU so they wouldn't be far apart and would still see each other a lot. After today, she was starting her life and she couldn't have been any more scared. But with Finn by her side, it made everything better.
Quinn was their valedictorian, and Rachel was nervous for her. Quinn and Rachel had become really close, especially after her mother adopted Beth. The had gone from enemies to practically sisters in the past four years and Rachel couldn't have been any more thrilled. Her high school years were actually good, and years she was looking forward to telling her and Finn's kids about. Well, she hoped it would be her and Finn's kids.
As she strided down the hall, head held high, already fighting tears, she saw Quinn and Finn whispering about something and it made her jealous. She didn't understand why she was still jealous. Finn loved her and Quinn definitely loved Puck but something about them being together alone, just pushed Rachel's buttons. She snuck up behind them and caught the bits of conversation that she could get.
"So after your speech?" Finn asked, nervously running his hands through his hair. Quinn nodded. Her face was pale with fright. Rachel had never seen her like this before. "Thanks Quinn. She's going to love this…I hope."
"She will." Quinn reassured him and they hugged. Rachel quickly ran away. So Finn was planning something for her…but what? Her birthday wasn't for a couple of months and Christmas was still seven months away. Finn came up behind her and grabbed her waist, causing her to jump.
"Rach, you look beautiful."
"Finn, we're wearing the same thing." Rachel giggle responded as Finn kissed her cheek.
"So? You still look as beautiful as when I first met you. In fact, you look even more beautiful." Rachel felt herself blush as she grabbed his hand and they made their way to their assigned seats. They were a couple of rows apart, because of their last names. Quinn made her way across the stage, her heels clicking against the plywood.
"Class of 2012, we did it! We actually survived high school. The past four years of my life have been completely life-changing. I started off as captain of the Cheerios and president of the Celibacy Club. By sophomore year I was pregnant and lost everything. After having Beth, I realized a lot. I realized that we tend to take things for granted, even people we love. I also realized that the people you never expected to be your friends, end up becoming the closest people to you, something you use to think was lame, becomes the coolest thing to you, the one thing you love, your passion. Yes, I'm talking about Glee club." The crowd chucked at this as Quinn continued. "As you leave here today I want you to remember who you were. I want you to remember the people who were closest to you, and I want you to thank them. Today we start off the first day to the rest of our lives, ready or not. Today we face the real world as young adults, ready to engage in a new lifestyle. The one that determines the rest of our life. I honestly couldn't have made it through high school without the people I swore I'd never speak to. I want you to leave here and actually get to know the people you meet at college, work, church, wherever. I want you to get to know them before you label them. If we can take anything out of our high school experience, let it be that. Let the Class of 2012 make the change, and conquer the world. WE DID IT GUYS!" There was a bunch of clapping, some sniffling and lots of cheering. Quinn coughed. "And now, Finn Hudson would like to say a few words."
Finn was shaking as he made his way across the stage. He was trying not to trip over his gown. Because of his obnoxious height, his gown was oddly shaped. In the front it was too long but in the back it was too short. He had written the correct measurements, but because of his messy handwriting, the tailor had read it wrong. His palms were sweaty, Rachel looked at him with her adorable confused look. This made him more nervous.
"Finessa." Karofsky mouthed to Finn, as Finn tried to hold the urge in to not run over there and knock him out.
"Er… hey guys. So, we're graduating. Pretty cool huh?" Silence. Finn grew more and more nervous, his heart practically beating in his throat. "So most of you know I was the star quarterback and captain of the football team. I was also in Glee club, we won Nationals and you all regretted making fun of me. But today I'm up here for a different reason." He spun around and looked right at Rachel and walked over to her and led her up to the front of the stage. The boys (Mike, Puck, Artie and Mr. Shue) came up behind Finn and smiled at Rachel, who continued to look confused. "What's going on?" She mouthed, Finn just smiled back. He grabbed her hand. "I also met the girl of my dreams in high school, Rachel Berry. And today I want to show everyone that she's well… mine." Music began to play.
"It's a beautiful night, we're looking for something dumb to do.
Hey baby, I think I wanna marry you.
Is it the look in your eyes, or is it this dancing juice?
Who cares baby, I think I wanna marry you.
I think I wanna marry you."
Rachel had a feeling where this was going but she didn't want to get her hopes up. Finn nodded, sending the boys back to their seats. He reached into his dress pants pocket (under his gown) and pulled out a velvet box that had a gold star on it, Rachel's signature. Rachel gasped, knowing exactly where this was going as Finn propped down on one knee. The entire audience gasped, including Kurt (very loudly).
"Rachel Barbara Berry, from the beginning you have been there for me and have actually gotten to know who I really am. You've taught me so much, and I wouldn't be the man I am today without you . I want the entire world to know you're mine beautiful. So, Rachel Barbara Berry, will you do the honor of being my wife?" Rachel started to cry, just as Puck predicted, and nodded her head. Finn slipped the ring on her finger and picked her up and spun her around, the audience going wild. After a few minutes of celebrating, Figgins had everyone settle down as he began to call out the names.
(A/N : I'll list the characters I know of)
"Artie Abrams." Principal Figgins called, as Artie excitedly wheeled himself over to receive his diploma. Brittany stood up and clapped and started whipping her hair, everyone staring at her awkwardly.
"Rachel Berry…soon to be Rachel Hudson." Figgins announced with a sort of disgust and excitement mixed in his voice. Rachel walked up their confidently and Finn quickly whipped a tear away, hoping no one would notice. Of course, Puck did and mouthed "Finessa" to him playfully.
"Michael Cheng." Mike danced his way up, doing a couple of back handsprings and break dancing before accepting his diploma. The crowd loved this.
"Tina Cohen-Cheng." Tina walked up their shy fully, quickly accepting her diploma and sitting back down.
"Sam Evans." The entire football team cheered, Sam obviously one of their favorites. Sam smiled his huge mouth smile and accepted the diploma, fist-pumping the air.
"Our valedictorian, Quinn Fabray." Quinn came up excitedly, accepting her diploma waving her hand and posing in her model, cheerleading way. Puck shed a tear, as Finn caught him, not having a girly nick name for him. Puck scowled back.
"Finn Hudson." The entire football team cheered, Finn's name causing the most noise. Rachel started to cry for joy a bit, as she jumped up and down, clapping excitedly for him like a little girl.
"Mercedes Jones." Her attitude was clearly shown as she received her diploma. "Oh hell to the yes." Mercedes yelled, causing an uproar from the entire student body and Mr. Shue.
"David Karofsky." Puck and Finn refused to cheer for him but the rest of the glee club did, trying to be polite. Mr. Shue nodded in approval.
"Santana Lopez." Lots of whopping and hollering from the boys.
"Brittany Pierce." Brittany ended up walking the wrong way, and as she received her diploma she asked, "Can I eat this?" Figgins shook his head and Brirtany walked away, confused. Artie explained it all to her, yet she was still confused on how she managed to graduate.
"Noah Puckerman." Lots of hollering from the girls, causing Quinn to be jealous. Puck did his usual look and passionately kissed Quinn. Needless to say, the hollering stopped.
"And finally…Lauren Zizes!" Lauren just gave the rock and roll sign and fist-pumped the air, as Sam did.
"I present to you, the class of 2012" Figgins said, as everyone tosses their caps in the air, cheering.
-glee-
"FINN! What you did was so romantic!" Rachel yelled, running into Finn's open arms.
"I'm glad you enjoyed it." He replied, kissing her.
"I hate to break up this love fest but I believe I'll be planning your wedding?" Kurt asked, Blaine holding his hand.
"Of course Kurt! But I'm helping!" Rachel insisted.
"Fine. But no Barbara Streisand and no ridiculous animal sweaters of any sort!" The four friends laughed and hugged in celebration.
