A/N: I installed that new program OpenOffice. Not sure how well it works. If this document looks screwy, don't blame me. On another topic, this fanfic is almost over. If you're cheering and whooping, screw you. If you are wallowing and pleading for a sequel, your wish is granted! I just need one question answered: In the sequel, do you want Rachel and Kurt graduated, or on summer break? That's all I'm telling you.

Penny woke up. She waited. And waited. And waited. Until, Leonard walked into that small hospital room.

"Hey," he said. She brought him down to the bed for a kiss.

Kurt and Rachel were asleep on the (probably rather dirty) hotel room couch. Well, Kurt was asleep. Rachel was thinking. These past few days had been...well, crazy. And, fun. She hadn't had this much fun since she went bowling with Finn. Probably other moments after that, but that's the one that stood out the most. She did need something to make this night a little better.

"Rinnnngg...rinnnggg..." her phone went as she called. It was annoying, anticipating a 'hello' when all you get are rings. But, finally, finally:

"Hello?" Her mother's voice was inked with exhaustion, but curiosity. Rachel didn't answer, just breathed. Creepy, but for some reason, her mother knew that it was her. Maybe she had caller id, or maybe she had just wished it was Rachel. Either way, she said next, "I love you, Rachel."

A tear trickled down Rachel's cheek. She didn't speak for a very long time, but her mother still stayed on the line. She managed to get up the courage to say,

"I miss you, Mom."

"You alright?"

"Better than ever," she said with a laugh.

Silence.

"Mom?"

"Yes?"

"Love you, too." Then she hung up. Kurt was now awake, watching his newest friend (so weird to call Rachel that) cry up some waterworks. Kurt sat up, and awkwardly patted her on the back.

"It's gonna be okay," he said, having no idea what was going on.

"Yeah. It is," she said.

Kurt checked his watch. Almost midnight.

"Let's go catch a movie," he said.

That is exactly how Kurt, Rachel, Howard, Raj, and Sheldon (Leonard and Penny being mysteriously absent) went to the movies at midnight to see god knows what. Raj was whispering remarks about the movie to Howard, Sheldon was pointing out the plot flaws ("That's impossible! There's no possible way for Megamind to have a blue head, alien or no!"). Rachel was texting Finn. Kurt was fantasizing about being here with Johnny Depp. Either way, they got a call from Penny and Leonard in the theatre. Being no one else in the theatre to annoy, Howard answered the phone.

"Hello?" He said.

"Hello?" A feminine voice echoed.

"Hello?"

"Hello?"

"Hello?"

"Howard?"

"This is him."

"It's Penny. Guess what?"

"What?"

"Me and Leonard are back together!"

"Joys. Thanks for the update."

"And guess what else?"

"What?"

"I am TOTALLY trashed!"

Howard snorted. Maybe Leonard was hoping for a car crash that would get Penny accidentally on top of him.

Kurt went home. It felt like he hadn't been there in years. He sat on his bed, Finn, the heavy sleeper, snoring loudly. He didn't want to sleep. He really wanted to sing. Really loudly. You know, he actually wanted to be the transvestite in Rocky Horror. But he kind of wanted to tone it down a bit, ever since he met the crazy scientists. Mercedes was really good, but he sounded really good singing Sweet Transvestite in the shower.

He turned his pillow over. He sighed. Then he took the pillow, and chucked it at Finn.

"Wha?" Finn said, sitting straight up, searching for the zombies that had been inhisdreams only two seconds ago.

"Hey, Finn," Kurt said.

"Oh. Hey Kurt. When did you get home?"

"Fifteen minutes ago."

"Oh." he yawned. "Why did you wake me?"

"I want to sing. I haven't been singing a lot recently."

Finn sighed. "Well, then sing tomorrow. When it isn't, like, 3am."

"Fiiiiin. I want to sing now though."

"We'll wake our parents up."

"Then we'll go into the backyard."

Finn closed his eyes. "If I go and sing with you, will you let me sleep in instead of waking me up at 6am?"

"Of course."

So that's how Finn and Kurt climbed out the window, and sang songs until dogs started barking. Kurt looked at Finn during one of those songs, and knew that he didn't love Finn anymore. Only as family.

Rachel snuggled up with her stuffed animals. She counted each one. Frogger. Lady Elephant. Barbra Streisand. Etc. She was so childish. But she didn't care. She went into the living room, where one of her dads was watching West Side Story. She sat next to him on the couch.

"Tony is kind of cute," she said. Her dad chuckled.

"What's wrong, sweetie?" He asked.

"Nothing. I talked to Mom today."

"Oh?" Her dads secretly hated her Mom. "And?"

"I kind of miss her. But she updates her Facebook with photos of Beth."

"How is Beth?"

"She's got Quinn's looks, and Puck's feisty personality."

Her dad chuckled. Her daddy came into the living room.

"You guys should get to bed," her daddy said.

"I will, Daddy."

But Rachel had to stay for 'America'.*

Penny shut her phone.

"It worked! Howard and them think I'm drunk, so they'll assume I'll have a hangover tomorrow! We can do whatever we want."

Leonard smiled. "How about elope?"

A/N2: I wanted to make this a longer one. *'America' is a song in WSS. I just wanted to point that out in case you thought Rach was becoming a super patriot.
