~Continued From Last Chapter~

~Scene Change~

Re-gathered in the auditorium, the New Directions stood behind a curtain, Mr. Schue placing them in formation for the song. The seats were filled by the students, all gathered together by Principal Figgins on the last day of school (Graduation was next week). Though most students sat bored, they gathered their attention when Figgins spoke. "Attention, students. Before you leave today, I would like for all of us to bow our heads and remember. Remember the first day you walked these halls, the faces you've met, and, of course, the things you've learned. But what we call you here to remember, is the most important thing: How you've changed."

As he stopped, the curtain behind him raised and Puck began on the guitar. Tina, entering the stage from the left, began, "Changes, All of these changes, But I'm here to tell you, Don't be afraid"

Rachel, coming from behind her continued, "Just like a sunrise, The light of a new day, Step out of the darkness, And let it show you the way"

From the right side of the stage, Finn and Jesse stepped onto the stage. Though the proximity exemplified their dislike of each other, they still sang together, "Nobody knows, Nobody cares, Whether you live or die in vain, Nobody knows, Nobody cares from where you came, Life's little game"

During the instrumental, Figgins walked to the microphone and announced, "School is officially dismissed!" And the song changed.

Though Sebastian's voice was most prominent, they all sang, "No light, no light, in your bright blue eyes, I never knew daylight could be so violent, A revelation in the light of day,"

Then Kurt cut in, "You can't choose what stays and what fades away,"

And Sebastian continued, "And I'd do anything to make you stay,"

While in the background, the rest finished "No light, no light... No Light! Tell me what you want me to say..."

And the curtain closed over them.

When Ryan stopped the recording, he applauded. "Good singing, boys. And all of you, of course. Remember, tomorrow is the final scene. Be prepared! Diana, I have your lead for the last song tomorrow. That's all for today." Diana stepped forward and received her music while the rest began walking to their trailers. Max was walking with Darren slowly, but behind them Grant and Chris walked even slower, heading not for their trailers but instead outside on a bench.

"So... how did it happen?" Chris attempted to say nonchalantly.

Grant, a bit thrown off by the suddenness, replied dumbly, "What?"

"I mean," Chris rephrased, blushing, "how did we- uh- end up together?"

Suddenly, Grant laughed. His voice drew a loud, low, booming laugh that nearly shook Chris to the core. When Grant finished laughing, he explained. "Sorry, Chris, but you make it sound like it was love at first sight, or something. It was more like love at love scene number four!" At Chris' confused face, Grant elaborated, "When you were, not you, Kurt became a slutty character, and it wasn't until he drew Sebastian into bed that you really hit me with Cupid's arrow. I don't know why I didn't see it before then..." Grant trailed off.

Chris stared into Grant's welcoming eyes, imagining himself getting lost in those eyes. He wasn't sure exactly who lent forward first, but their lips came into contact then, and their eyes fluttered closed. Chris wrapped his arms around Grant's neck, holding him there.

Rachel was conversing with Jesse and Finn, their backs turned to us. We see Rachel talking to them, but instead of her voice, we hear Quinn begin singing, and the scene changes to her singing in front of the Glee Club. Today is their last rehearsal, and Quinn is the final singer. She begins,

I never want to see you unhappy

I thought you'd want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover

Goodbye, my hopeless dream

I'm trying not to think about you

Can't you just let me be?

So long my luckless romance

My back is turned on you

I should've known you'd bring me heartache

Almost lovers always do

The scene changed to flashbacks. Quinn's relationship to Finn, and then Puck. We view her heartfelt moments, and her heartless ones too.

Then we return to Rachel, Finn, and Jesse. Though instead of hearing the conversation, it is silent. Jesse storms off, and Finn goes to hug Rachel, but she shrugs him off.

Outside the studio, after the graduation is filmed, our four boys are gathered. Max and Darren sit next to each other, their hands entwined. Next to them, sit Grant and Chris, though their lips are locked rather than their hands. It is then that someone says something, and the four burst into laughter.

"It's a good thing, being in love. It's even better when it's with the right person."
