-Chapter 43-Regionals end-The end-
-Rachel pov-
"We did everything we could and we should be proud" I look at everyone from our club before going on "I am sorry my life got us a loss"
"We talked before we went out Rachel" Noah comes over and gives me a side hug "You have nothing to apologize for!"
"He is right" Kurt walks over with a smile "But we do have to go accept whatever place they give us"
"Let's go" Everyone nods and we walk out of the room "We did great"
Everyone hums agreement and we walk out onto the stage. It goes about like we thought. We ended up second and the Warblers won. The audience seemed upset but the judges stood by what they said.
We actually had a judge vote for us. Her vote did not matter enough though. The nun was a nice lady. We had to leave after that though.
We share a hug and then leave the building. It was fun while it lasted. Now we look to graduation. Now we look to one last hoorah.
"Hey I know we lost but I think we got something over everyone in there" We all look at Noah who shrugs "Can...would you all be opposed to we are the champions?"
"I think that sounds wonderful" I smile and look at the others "Let's do it!"

[BLAINE]
I've paid my dues time after time
[PUCK]
I've done my sentence but committed no crime
[SANTANA]
And bad mistakes, I've made a few
[RACHEL]
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face, but I've come through
[TROUBLE TONES]
And we mean to go on and on and on and on
[SAM]
We are the champions, my friends
[RACHEL]
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
[TROUBLE TONES]
We are the champions, we are the champions
[RACHEL]
No time for losers, 'cause we are the champions
[BLAINE]
Of the world
[KURT]
I've taken my bows and my curtain calls
You brought me fame and fortune, everything that goes with it, I thank you all
[QUINN]
But it's been no bed of roses, no pleasure cruise
[RACHEL]
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race, and I ain't gonna lose
[TROUBLE TONES]
And we mean to go on and on and on and on
[SAM]
We are the champions, my friends
[RACHEL]
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
[TROUBLE TONES]
We are the champions, we are the champions
[RACHEL]
No time for losers, 'cause we are the champions
[BRITTANY & RACHEL]
Of the world
[PUCK]
We are the champions, my friends
[PUCK & SANTANA]
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
[TROUBLE TONES]
We are the champions, we are the champions
No time for losers, 'cause we are the champions of the world
We are the champions of the world
"This is not the end" Mom smiles as she looks at all of us "This is only the beginning! You all have bright futures ahead of you!"
"Thanks Miss C" Noah puts his hands in his pockets and gives a small nod "I will see you all tomorrow"
We all nod and go our separate ways. To graduation we go.
-Time skip-
"Our valedictorian Brittany Pierce!" We all applaud as she steps the the podium "Proud of you Brittany"
"Thank you Sue" Brittany looks out at all of us "This year has been a long one huh? A lot of bombshells and a lot of discovery...I could say I know what I am doing after this but I have not the foggiest idea! Everything is never as plain as it may seem, everything is never what you may expect, and everything can always change on a dime...I would be lying to say I know all of you! I would be lying if I said I talked to all of you at least once! But I would not be lying to say that we all made it this far and I know we can make it farther! Yeah this school has some...bad parts but I think that is what has made us better...I think that is what has prepared us for what really lays before us..reality is never a fun thing to be faced with but that is what is coming! We will be faced with hardships, we will be faced with tough decisions, and we will be faced with somethings we just want to run from! But it is what we do in those time that will make us! It is what we do that will show how far we can truly go! I know I have finally found myself through the hardships we have been faced with...but I would go through them all again to be with my family...we are a great class and we all will be just fine! Now let us turn our tassels, turn this page of life over, and let us celebrate our next chapter!"
"You totally wrote that" I look at Kurt and nod with a smile "You are whipped for a mistress"
"What can I say?" I follow and turn my tassel "I would do anything for my family"
He nods and we toss our caps up. This has been a nice day so far. I blow a kiss to Brittany as she smiles at me. She pretends that she catches it and pulls it to her heart.
I see all of my girls and the smiles they have. We went through all of this together. Sure it has been turbulent at times but I have enjoyed every moment. Sure some moments were better than others but they were enjoyed all the same.
Now we are going to be going to New York. Which is a conversation still to be had. Mom is torn on leaving or staying. I never want to force her to leave something that make her happy like the glee club here.
Speaking of conversation to be had.
"I have made my mind up" I nod and we walk to the family "I made my decision on what I am doing...I would love to be the teacher here but I would be happier in New York with my family!"
"So you are coming with us?" She nods and we all share a group hug "WE ARE GOING TO NEW YORK AS A FAMILY!"
The girls all cheer and I smile even wider. Everything is going to keep going in our favor I have a great feeling about it. I love these girls so much. We are going to make New York our own.
"Let's go home and celebrate while packing!" They all cheer and I chuckle "Let's go loves"
They head out and I follow happy as can be. My love can not be measured for these girls. I will make sure New York is everything it should be for them. They will have the best lives if I can help it there.
For now we are going to party and pack for our futures.
