Here it is….the MOMENT YOU'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR!
Will woke on something soft so he looked down and saw that he was lying on a cloud. He also saw that he was human again.
Now what happened again, he thought to himself. Suddenly, everything flashed before him.
He saw Rachel lying face down in the street.
He saw the car speeding toward her but she wouldn't move.
His sudden instinct kicking in as he knocked her out of the way and let himself get hit by the car.
He sighed and shook his head. He was happy that he saved her…but now he would never see her again.
A beam of light shined nearby and suddenly a giant golden iron gate appeared and he saw Gabby waiting for him there. He stood up and walked to her.
When he got to her, she gave him a sad smile.
"I messed up again." He said lowering his head. "But I had to, she could have died!"
He looked out into the distance. "Good-bye, my sweet Rachel. I love you will all my heart and I'll see you again someday." Tears started to fall from his eyes but he didn't bother to wipe them away. He turned to Gabby.
"So I guess I'm stuck here for good, huh?"
She shook her head. "Nope…you're not."
He looked confused. "What are you talking about? I just died a second time and lost my alternate life saving Rachel, why am I not staying here? I just saved her; doesn't that give me a free ticket here?"
She pursued her lips. "You saved her…which is why we're letting you go back again…as a human."
His head shot up in surprise. "A…a…human…as in I'll be a full grown human Will Shuester again?"
She nodded. "Yes, that is correct."
"B-b-ut how?" he stammered. "I thought you said before I came back to life that if I died again, I'd get no more chances!"
She smiled and shrugged. "Loopholes, Will…and God thought that because of your brave deed and act of kindness, you deserve to be human again."
Will stared at her with disbelief. "Seriously…I'm seriously going to live life for the third time…as a human again?"
She narrowed her eyes. "Look, do you want this or not? We'd understand if you wish to stay here, but honestly I believe that you have much potential and deserve to be human once more. Are you going to take it or leave it?"
After a second, he practically screamed "I'LL TAKE IT, GABBY! I WANT TO BE A HUMAN ONCE AGAIN!"
She squealed and hugged him. They both cried tears of joy and danced around, singing, laughing and jumping. When they were done, she suddenly remembered something.
"Okay…now remember, this is your ABSOLUTE LAST LIFELINE…use it well and live it fantastically."
He nodded. "I'm ready…but will I ever see you again?"
She shook her head sadly. "You don't need me anymore, Will. I'll be watching over you, but I won't be guiding you anymore. It's all up to you to keep yourself, Rachel and everyone else safe and happy. My job is done."
"What do you get out of it?" he asked.
She took his hands. "I get nothing but the satisfaction of knowing that I helped someone in need. That's all I could ever want as an angel. When I was alive, I was a good person and helped others believe and achieve. That's how I made it here and I'm still carrying out my work to the new people. Now it's time for you to go back and finish what you started. Lead your kids to National's. Find the comfort and sympathy to love and be with Rachel. I'll be seeing you when it's time…but please don't cut it short…again."
He smiled and nodded. "Okay, I promise. And I'll repay you for your hard work when I come back."
"All an angel needs is the satisfaction knowing that they did well. They don't want gifts or presents or anything in return."
She hugged him and kissed him on the cheek. "Are you ready…again?"
He nodded and closed her eyes. Suddenly, he felt a warm glow overcome him.
Meanwhile, back with Rachel and the gang, everyone was still mourning. Rachel was still holding the limp dog's body and everyone else was comforting each other.
Finn walked over to her and put his hand on her shoulder.
"Rachel…come on, let's go. It'll be okay."
She nodded and kissed the dog on top of his head.
"Thank you again…I'm so sorry." She sniffed. "You guys go ahead; I just need a few minutes."
Finn nodded and everyone cleared out.
A beam of sunlight shined on the dog's body and it suddenly started glowing. A huge gust of wind swept everywhere and while everyone clung on tightly to each other. Rachel just sat there stunned watching the body transform. She closed her eyes because the light began to blind her.
When she opened her eyes…stunned…to see a HUMAN Will Shuester lying in her arms.
She was shaking in bewilderment. Was this yet another hallucination? She touched his face…it felt real, but then again in all her visions he felt real. She shook her head.
Suddenly, he stirred and opened his eyes. He looked up and smiled at her.
She covered her mouth with her hand, her eyes swelling with tears.
He leans up, cupped her face with his hand and kissed her tenderly. "Don't cry, sweetheart, I'm back for good this time."
She shook her head and stared at him dumbfounded. He sat up.
"I can explain, Rachel."
She swallowed and finally said something after all that silence. "…you can?"
He opened his mouth to say something but then closed it. "No…I could try but I don't think so. It's a bit far-fetched but it depends on how you look at it."
She nodded. "So you were my dog the whole time…I knew it somehow."
He bit his lip. "I can tell. And all those times you saw me in human form were real, you weren't hallucinating."
She shook her head again. "I…seriously wasn't? Because everything seemed to look and feel impossible…could you at least try to explain?"
He thought for a few minutes. "It would probably take about forever…but the important thing is that an angel named Gabby brought me back to life…twice."
For some strange reason…she believed him.
Will rambled on with the rest of the story until she thought she heard enough. She crawled to him and put her hand to his mouth to quiet him.
"I get it, Will. You're back for good this time. This is wonderful news."
He smiled. "I love you, Rachel. I meant it all those times I said it and right now I love you even more."
She blushed. "I guess you heard all that."
He took her hand. "I'm glad I did. I was hoping you'd feel the same way."
She looked away. "This is all…miraculous! How can we explain this to everyone?"
"No need to, Rachel." A soft voice said.
She looked around. "Who said that?"
Suddenly, another beam of light shone on the ground in front of them and Gabby appeared. Rachel gasped and hid behind Will.
"Do not be afraid, Rachel. Angels do not hurt people." Gabby said smiling.
"That's Gabby." Will whispered. "She's the angel who helped me through all this."
Gabby nodded. "There is no need to explain to everyone. I have erased their memories so now to them, Will was never dead and the dog never existed."
Rachel stared at her in surprise. "Why would you do that? Think of what could have been-"
Gabby held her hands up to calm her down. "Please, Rachel, there is no need to make a scene. Yes, what I did may or may not have been wrong, but it's the rules of being an angel. We're only allowed to expose our work to the ones we're doing it for, but since you know now too, you must keep it a secret. Can you do that?"
Rachel nodded understandingly. "Yes, I understand. So pretty much to everyone else, all this never happened?"
Gabby smiled. "Nope, Will never died and got resurrected as a dog, Mark never drugged and tried to rape you, and your dog never got hit by a car. Only you and Will remember all that, and I assume this'll be both your little secret."
They both nodded. "Thank you, Gabby. You really saved me." Will said.
"Then I leave you here. May God's light shine upon you into the kingdom of heaven, I bless you. Good-bye, Will. It was a pleasure to meet you and I pray we meet again someday."
The same beam of light shined on her and they waved as she spread her wings and flew back to Heaven.
Rachel blew some hair out of her face. "So…it's just you and me now."
Will nodded. "And National's is coming up soon. We'd better get cracking."
The next day at Glee rehearsal
Rachel and Will waited in the choir room for everyone. Rachel sat on a chair swinging her legs and Will leaned against his desk.
"What are we going to do about you and me? It's illegal, you know." Rachel asked.
He shrugged. "We love each other, that's all that matters. And how can anyone find out if we're…together when no one's around."
Suddenly everyone came bounding in.
"Hey, Mr. Shue, how are you?" Finn asked.
"I'm doing fine, thank you Finn." Will said.
When everyone came in and took their seats, He went to the front of the room and looked at all of them. Turns out that Gabby was true to her word and no one had any memory of him dying.
"Okay everyone, attention please!" Everyone stopped talking and watched him.
"National's is coming up, and we need to do our absolute very best! That means I'm going to need everyone's cooperation."
He winked at Rachel. "And even if we don't win, we'll still be united…as a family. And only a family's bond is strong and unbreakable. If we all help each other, we can overcome anything."
Everyone nodded. "So…are we in it to win it?"
The End
That's the end of it, folks! I hope you enjoyed reading and to all my reviewers, you TOTALLY ROCK! I have another story in mind, but it won't be too OOC like Sway with Me and nothing supernatural will happen like in this story, but it'll still be a Will/Rachel story, I promise! Bye peeps!
