So here it is. The finale chapter for Glee's 10 birthday. Having some virtual Glee cake with Glee Songs and the Show itself. Just been on Twitter following Lea's Glee QandA. It is amazing what this great show has done for all of us and for Cory and Mark who are no longer with us, I feel today is any better day than any to pay tribute to them as well. Yes they might have made mistakes but so have all of us and the show is homage to how wonderful actors and unique people they were. The programme was on just after my father died and the music and then later the show has helped me through tough times and days so this story is a tribute to everyone in Glee for doing that so thanks to all the members in Glee for that. Hope you all have a great day enjoying Glee and thanks to everyone for reading/reviewing this story. Enjoy the chapter.

Chapter 25: Another Year and Summer.

Sue's POV. (At the Judges room after the vote.)

We have finished the competition and we are to head down to pack our things and head back to Mickingly. Today is a day of triumph, I have finally got myself rid of that William Schuester's Glee Club and their pathetic dreams. After all, who is going to pick a person from Ohio a place of losers when they can pick winners from New York and L.A. Oh that's right no-one.

Well that is what you expect me to think anyway. The thing is that those kids have a different persona and having seen how hard they work, it is commendable even though it only led to embarrassing and humiliating defeat. After all, they do say that it is best to keep your enemies closer than your friends.

Olivia: "Thanks for your work Sue. Hope you enjoy the other side of the mountain now."

Sue: "Shut your mouth. This is only the beginning for Sue Sylvester. Just you wait."

Josh: "Oh we will be waiting."

I head out and get into my car and head over back to the school. Tomorrow is the last day of school for the summer so I will be looking forward to a nice summer away. Cheerio's managed to be successful in Nationals again so that is a positive and shows my authority and leadership that I can do it on a smaller budget than usual. Winning is a habit that I picked up a long time ago. Clearly William Michael Schuester picked up the habit of losing. Or maybe that comes with his curly hair that looks like it has sulphurous eggs living in there.

As I arrive at the school, I go into my office to grab some things that I won't need tomorrow and head home. It has been a long day but walking through the school when no-one is there, makes it seem that it is just a ghost hall. Well after tomorrow it will be until the start of the next school year.

The following day when I am in the hallway, I am passing through the auditorium when I am hearing the Glee kids performing; I sneak into the auditorium to hear them perform. They are performing To Sir With Love which shows an appreciation for what that man has done for them. I realise that they all have a long way to go in school. With my power, I will be off to Figgins to give them an extension.

(With Figgins)

Sue: "You need to give them another year."

Figgins: "They didn't place at Regionals Sue."

Sue: "Give them another year. Their performance at Regionals was the best of the lot. The only reason they were last was because the other groups did the other judges' songs. It was rigged against them."

Figgins: "Fine Sue. You win."

Sue: "I always win Figgins. Like the house in casino."

Rachel's POV. (Set after leaving the competition.)

Everyone is really down and depressed after losing at Regionals. People are crying and everyone thinks that our dreams are over. Mr Schue looks really miserable himself. We all think that we are losers.

Rachel: "(Crying) I can't believe that Glee Club is over."

Finn: "(Depressed) I know. It feels that everything that we had and fought for is over. It is terrible."

Mercedes: "(Trying to be positive.) We all can be proud of what we have all done. We did the best we could."

Santana: "And still lost. Thank goodness I still have the cheerleading squad."

Kurt: "Enough Santana. We are all down without your insults either."

Tina: "Sue probably made sure that we lost."

Rachel: "Yeah."

After that we are quiet for the rest of the journey home. Once we get back to the school, we take our bags and go home. Finn is taking myself and Kurt back home but no one says a word. What can you say when you just feel that your entire high school dreams have just gone up in smoke? Not much that's for sure.

The final day arrives and I decide to send a message to the party line saying that we should meet at the auditorium for a special farewell to Mr Schue as our Glee club teacher. Once we are all here minus Quinn, Lauren, Becky and Santana, I begin the farewell.

Rachel: "So we have something we need to say to you."

Matt: "At the beginning of this year, I was just another football player."

Tina: "I had a stutter."

Mercedes: "I was the closet diva."

Mike: "I was afraid to dance outside my room."

Brittany: "I thought I hated everyone in this club."

Kurt: "I wasn't honest about who I was."

Puck: "I was tossing kids in the dumpsters."

Artie: "I had never kissed a girl before."

Rachel: "And I was getting slushied."

Finn: "I didn't have a father figure. Or someone I could look up too. Model myself after. Someone who could show me what it was to be a man."

Rachel: "We don't care what the judges say. We won. Because we had you as a teacher."

Mercedes: "Glee Club will never end Mr Schue. Because you are Glee Club. Thank you for all of us now. (Starts crying.)"

We then all sing To Sir With Love. It was the most fitting send-off that we could give Mr Schue and Glee Club. At the end, Mr Schue just says one word.

Mr Schue: "Thank you." And then he leaves.

Mr Schue's POV.

I am tidying up and clearing out the room that we are all have made so many memories over the last year. And now it is over. I see Sue walking in. Great the final insult to injury.

Sue: "Looking extremely bare Schuester. Moving onto greener pastures?"

Mr Schue: "What do you want Sue? Here to gloat at me."

Sue: "Mostly."

Mr Schue: Congratulations. You got what you wanted. I should shake your hand now that Glee Club is over."

Sue: "Not with hand sanitiser. I see your car that you drive. I don't want to catch pool."

Mr Schue: "Explain something to me. Maybe we weren't good enough to beat Vocal Adrenaline. But we were so much better than Aural Intensity."

Sue: "Oh William. I can't reveal how the voting went down. That would betray the scared role of the Judge that I was portraying. The results showed that the other clubs were more deserving."

Mr Schue: "Well Sue. Congratulations. You win. I lose. The kids lose."

Sue: "You may think that I am heartless Will. And you may have a point but I am a person of principle. I managed to get Figgins to give the Club another year."

Mr Schue: "Wait what?"

Sue: "I need some competition for my Cheerio's to compete against. Those kids come from the least prestigious school in the state. I realised that when I sat on the Judges booth being the least prestigious judge as well. And where would my anger go if that Club wasn't there."

Mr Schue: "Thanks Sue. (Gives her a hug.)"

Sue: "Get off me before I puke down your back."

I can't believe it. We have another year. I put the stuff back and then put a message to the noticeboard to come and meet in the choir room in last lesson.

Finn's POV.

Today is just going through the motions. I feel really depressed and grumpy. Glee Club is over and the friendships that I have made have been great but now it is over. I am getting my stuff when Kurt comes up and says that there is an emergency Glee meeting in the choir room. We head over to get there.

Finn: "What is going on Mr Schue?"

Kurt: "The room doesn't seem like a club that is ending."

Mercedes: "Quite the opposite in fact."

Mr Schue: "Sit down everybody."

Everyone sits.

Tina: "Mr Schue what is going on?"

Mr Schue: "This is not the end. It is only the beginning."

Finn: "Beginning of what? (Confused.)"

Mr Schue: "Sue spoke with Figgins about you guys. The short bit of it is that we have ourselves another year."

Everyone: "(Cheering.) What? OMG! Are you serious?"

Mr Schue: "Yes I am. We have another year. Puck. Get the guitar. We need a song to celebrate."

They do Somewhere Over The Rainbow in Celebration. It has been a great end to the year and now it is summer.

We decide to go on a week's holiday together to the beaches in Miami the week after school finishes. It is great when we are friends and a group who are just good friends.

One evening, Rachel and I decide to go for a walk on the beach alone. It is a beautiful evening and no-one in sight. A time to be with the one person that I love.

Rachel: "Isn't it just beautiful?"

Finn: "It is. Not as beautiful as you though. Race you to the sea."

We spend the next couple of hours playing in the sea and on the beach. It is nice to be with those people that you love. But being with the person that I love but more importantly than that. The one that I trust.

End.

Reviews and Feedback are welcome as usual. A sequel will come later in the summer. Thanks again for everyone reading this story. It is nice that some people enjoyed it so thank you.
