Sorry I haven't written anything in a while. School has gone back :( But I am trying my best to update as soon as possible.
So please enjoy.
As Quinn and Sam sat next to each other both of them were looking at Will but just as they had in high school neither of them were really paying attention to him. The both vaguely heard works of "I remember" and "like the time." But, unlike high school both of their thoughts were focussed on not thinking about the other.
Quinn was having difficulty with this concept. Every time she tried focus on something else, Sam popped back into her mind. "Work.HavealotofworktodowhenIgethome.Decoratingtheoffice,whichmeansstrippingdowntheoldone.IwouldlovetostripSamdown-SHIT!Quinnfocus."
Next to Quinn, Sam was having the exact same issues. "Quinn,Quinn,QuinnSexyQuinn,CuteQuinn,HotQuinn,Quinn,forjesuschristSam,stopthinkingaboutQuinn!"
Both of them were so caught up in their thoughts, that the only thing that snapped them out of it was the sound of Rachel's voice. It had some strange power to do that to anyone who was close to her at the time.
"Mister Schue, if I may." Rachel said, raising her hand in the air.
"You may Rachel and please, call me Will." William repeated as he moved over to the side so Rachel could take the floor.
"Sorry." Rachel said, getting up from her chair and walking to the front between Quinn and Sam. "Force of habit. Finn, will you grab the stuff."
As soon as Rachel had asked, Finn had stood from his seat and walked out of the room. All the eyes followed him before making their way back to Rachel.
"Okay, while Finn grabs the required equipment, let me take you back to 5 years ago." Rachel said as she motioned her hands in circles.
"Oh please don't tell me your gonna sing." Mercedes said, which everyone chuckled at, even Rachel.
"No I'm not. I already promised Finn I wouldn't." Rachel said. "But perhaps you all might remember back to the last week of senior year when Finn and I were going around with a video camera."
Quinn abruptly sat bolt right up in her chair. She suddenly found herself pleading in her mind that Rachel wasn't about to show what she thinking she would.
"I was asking questions about the future, what you want to do with you life et cetera, et cetera because I told you I would make a video for us all to watch at our first reunion" Rachel continued. Behind her, Finn had returned wheeling a projector machine and a portable screen. "Well luckily for all of you, I am the type of woman who keeps her promise."
Finn had set up the screen with the projector in front. He then handed Rachel a remote and they both returned to their seats.
"Prepare to be dazzled." Rachel said as she pointed the remote towards the projector, hitting the play button as she did.
The screen flashed on and started to countdown as it were an old Hollywood movie about premier. Then again, if Rachel had made it she was most likely probably getting her hopes up about winning an academy award. As the film reached the number five, Quinn sank down into her chair and looked over at Sam. He, like everyone else was oblivious to Quinn's reaction and was to busy watching the screen.
The screen flashed to a two before going black for at least a second before staring up again, this time on a person.
"Finn, you have to zoom out." Rachel said as the camera was zoomed right up on her chest. "Otherwise no one will be able to see my face."
Finn zoomed the camera out so that it showed a young Rachel sitting on a stool. Next to her was another stool, which Finn soon occupied after fitting the camera on the tripod.
"Hello future New Directions, and welcome to your first high school reunion." Rachel said while Finn simply waved at screen. "Obviously by now the future me has told you whats going on so I won't explain but I will get down to business." Rachel turned to Finn who was still waving at the camera.
"Finn you can stop waving." Finn ceased his waving but continued to stare at the camera.
"So, I just wanted to say that I have enjoyed working with all of you and know that I will miss you all so much." Rachel said smiling before turning her expression to a serious one. "But once I leave high school, I plan to make it on broadway. I will have a collection of Tony Awards at such a young age and I will be married to the love of my life. Finn what about you?" Rachel concluded.
"Hi, I'm Finn Hudson. I am going to marry Rachel Berry. I love her so much, which is why I will be marrying her. I guess."
As Finn spoke, he continually kept looking down at his hand as if he were reading something.
"Finn, did Rachel tell you to say all this stuff?" Kurt asked in disbelief, which seemed rather irrelevant seeing as everyone could tell she had.
"I would prefer to use the term 'guided helpfully'." Rachel answered for her husband.
"Of course you would." Kurt said falling back into his chair laughing along with everyone else before directing his attention back to the screen, which now had the camera trailing Santana and Brittany and Rachel jumping in front of them so she could ask her questions.
"Oh god Rachel, I'm so sorry I didn't see you there." Santana said in a sarcastic manner, holding a hand over her chest as a sign of remorse.
"But I was calling out to you." Rachel reminded. "And you kept walking."
"Look, do we have to make this awkward?" Santana asked, her tone changing to its usual snarky self. "We both new I was avoiding you okay."
"You remind me of the troll who lives under my bed." Brittany said casually staring at Rachel. Rachel stared at the two cheerios before giving all her attention back to the camera.
"Moving on." Rachel said. "Santana and Brittany, what are you going to miss the most about high school?
"Well Berry, I think I would have to say being top bitch around here. The fear I feel off people is a source of life atm and honestly I don't know what will fill it once I leave. I'm hoping wild sex will do the job."
Rachel stood their awkwardly for a moment before moving onto Brittany.
"What about you Brittany? Do you have any plans for the future"
"Hopefully Unicorn hunting." Brittany said, looking directly into the camera.
"Right!" Rachel said immediately. "Whose next?"
The clip changed to four other glee club members standing in the hallway outside their lockers.
"So Artie, Mercedes, Tina and Mike what are you going to do once you leave these halls?" Rachel asked.
The group were to one side of the camera while Rachel was at the other. From where the camera was positioned, one could easily tell that Mike and Tina were not happy with each other
"Maybe do a bit of writing." Artie piped up. "I leave for Iowa next year so we'll see where that goes."
"Lovely." Rachel said before look over to Tina and Mike. "And what about you two love birds?"
"Oh, you haven't heard, she just dumped me." Mike said gesturing to Tina on the other side of Mercedes.
"For practical reasons. I do still love him but we are going in separate directions." Tina said to the camera before turning to Mike. "And I would appreciate you not saying this on the camera."
"Fine." Mike said facing the camera. "I plan to leave and get as far away as possible, are we done?" And Mike stalked off.
"Excuse me." Tina said running off camera after her ex. "Mike, wait!"
The three who were still on camera looked at the pair run off before Rachel spoke again, pulling them back to the interview.
"And Mercedes, what have you got planned for the future?"
"Other then shine brighter then you?" Mercedes said "Lay down at least 6 singles by the time I'm 27 and have my own reality show; "Keeping up with Miss Jones."
"Well...um...ambitious is all that comes to mine." Rachel said before turning around and rolling her eyes.
"Berry, did you just roll you eyes at me?" Mercedes asked leaning over to Rachel.
"Shhh, past me is talking." Rachel said jabbing her finger to the screen that her eyes were clued to. There was a new clip playing
"So, Sam Evans where are you going once you leave high school?"
"Umm. College I guess." Sam said
"Great." Rachel said. There was an awkward pause between the the two.
"So, any aims for your love life." Rachel asked before she realized what she said
"Rachel we talked about this, think before you speak." Finn said from behind the camera
"No, it's okay Finn." Sam said to the camera before looking back at Rachel. "Let's just say that when I use the term a fresh start, I don't just mean for school, I mean for everything."
Sam then turned his back on the camera and walked down the hall.
As the clip began to cut to the next one, the room had filled with silence. Sam looked over to Quinn who had small tears from the corners of her eyes but he knew she would not let them run. So he turned his attention back to the screen which was now had Puck on it.
"Probably work, find myself a lady that'll stick, I don't know." Puck said as he walked down the hall with Rachel next to him. The camera was bouncing around so it was clear Finn was trying to walk backwards and film at the same time.
"And what are you going to miss most." Rachel asked, huffing slightly as she tried to keep up with Puck.
"The sweet ass I score here." Puck said before stopping in his path. "Oh shit, is ass to inappropriate for this?"
"Moving on." Rachel quickly said as the clip cut out again and moved onto the next.
Both Blaine and Kurt were on screen now, in the choir room over at the piano. Blaine had stopped playing but Kurt continued to lay across it as if it were the casual thing to do.
"Plans for the future?" Rachel asked simply. It was clear she wasn't appreciating her friends previous responses.
"New York." Blaine and Kurt said in unison.
"Fashion designing for me." Kurt informed, slipping off the piano elegantly and leaning up against it.
"Photography." Blaine answered as Rachel and the camera turned to him. "And singing whenever I get the chance."
"Ooh, yeah, that for me too." Kurt said, popping his head into view.
The clip cut black again and Quinn new she was next to be shown. The screen lit up again, this time showing Rachel walking down the hall in her graduation robe and a sobbing Quinn coming around the corner out of the choir room.
"Quinn, there you are, finally. You are the last person I have to interview." Rachel said, clearly oblivious to Quinn's current state of sadness. "I knew you couldn't escape me for ever."
"Can we just get this over with Rachel." A puffy eye'd Quinn said bluntly.
"Getting to the point, I like it." Rachel said. "So Quinn, what are you going to miss the most about high school."
Quinn didn't answer straight away. First she looked to the floor before looking back up again, throwing her hair out her face and wiping a tear off her cheek. Then she answered.
"The chance to start over. The opportunity to redo everything. In class if you misbehaved you got a second chance. Life won't be the same." Tears were forming. "Knowing that you won't get to do it again is a crushing feeling. Never being forgiven scares the hell out of me and never getting the chance to explain why you did something to someone you had feelings for, may have even loved is unfair." Tears were running. "And yet these opportunities get taken for granted. We don't realize what we had until it has gone. We never take the time to appreciate them." Quinn was having trouble getting out her last words. "Saying sorry will never be enough in the real world. Apologies are things you can only use once on a person. Asking for forgiveness and getting it is rare." Quinn rubbed her eyes to dry up some of the tears. "I guess that's what I'll miss the most."
Quinn couldn't take it anymore. She ran out of the camera's view leaving Rachel alone in the shot.
The screen went black again but only for a second before a close up of Rachel's face appeared, making Kurt jump from the fright.
"Finally, I asked you all to sum up in one sentence what you loved, remembered, enjoyed, et cetera about New Directions. I love you all and I can't wait until we meet again" Rachel said before she faded of the screen.
Then music started to play over the slideshow, a familiar tune they all new. It was their original song "Loser Like Me." Then pictures starting to appear over the screen, reflecting their time in the Glee Club. And as the pictures displayed themselves, at the bottom of the screen, the sentences from each New Directions member Rachel had promised began to appear.
"Getting the chance to shine." - Rachel
Rachel flashed on the screen, and the picture showed her singing her classic "Rain On My Parade."

The screen then faded black and everyone applauded. Finn moved all the equipment to the side and Rachel made her way to the center of the room again.
"Well did everyone enjoy that? Fantastic" Rachel said before anyone had a chance to even respond to her question. "Well, Mister Schue- I mean Will, would you like to say anything before we all leave?"
Will nodded and Rachel returned to her seat so he could take her spot in front of everyone.
"I personally would like to thank you all for coming tonight. It truly has been a fantastic night, not only for myself but I'm sure for you guys as well." Will said. It was clear he was getting rather emotional as rubbed his hands through his hair, trying to find more words to say. "I just wan't to say that I am so proud of you. You have all turned into fantastic adults and I couldn't be more happier."
Will then directed his hands at his old glee club and started to clap. But he wasn't alone. Soon everyone joined in with him.
"Does anyone else want to say something?" Will asked once the applause had ceased
With a seconds gap, Kurt hopped up from his chair and stood next to Will.
"Thank you Will for those encouraging words." Kurt said, placing a hand on his old teacher's shoulder gracefully. "And I don't mean rain on your parade, but right now is the perfect opportunity to give out some important invitations." Kurt reached into his bag on his shoulder and pulled out 12 envelopes. "I hope everyone is free next Saturday."
"Hold up, you're getting hitched in a week?" Puck asked as Kurt handed him the invitation. "Why the rush?"
"And how the hell do you plan to get it done in time?" Mercedes interjected, opening her envelope.
"Well you know our freaking government. One week I could be married, next month they may take away that right and I could end up dying as a male spinster." Kurt said to Puck as he handed out the last of the invitations to the club and Will.
"So we hope to get it done as quickly as possible." Blaine informed still siting in his seat as he watched everyone open their wedding invitations. "That and I just really wanna get married."
"And yet I ask again." Mercedes said as everyone chuckled at Blaine's oral thoughts. "How do you plan to get it all up and running by next week?"
"Hopefully with the help from the best and most wanted party planner in New York." Kurt said.
"Good luck getting them to do it in a week." Santana said before looking up from her invitation and seeing Blaine and Kurt staring at her with plea in their eye's. "Oh you have got to be kidding. No way in hell Kurt! Nomegusta."
"Please Santana." Kurt begged.
"No."
"It can be your wedding present to us." Blaine suggested
"Nup."
"You can bring whomever you want to the wedding." Kurt said
"Na-ah."
"We will also pay you triple your usual fee." Blaine said.
"So for flowers I'm thinking white orchids." Santana said quickly and leaning closer to Blaine and Kurt.
As everyone began talking about the wedding, Quinn felt someone tap her on the shoulder. She turned and was surprised to see it was Sam who had done so.
"Hey Quinn, can I have a word with you? Sam asked. "In private."
Quinn nodded and they both made their way into the hallway. They stood there for a little and Quinn wondered if Sam was actually going to say any words. Then the silence was broken.
"I owe you an apology."
It took a moment for Quinn to comprehend what Sam had just said. She stood there in the open corridor in a slight state of shock before returning back to reality.
"I'm sorry, you what?" Quinn asked
"I owe you an apology." Sam repeated. He had no idea why he had decided to but after seeing himself on that video and realizing just how cold he had been to Quinn even after she had apologized to him multiple time and seeing how upset she was in her interview with Rachel, he knew it was time to start letting it all go.
"The way I treated you that day of graduation wasn't right." Sam said. But Quinn shook her head.
"Sam, you had every right to be angry with me." Quinn said.
"I know I did, but what I said to you and how I responded to Rachel's question in that video, that isn't me.' Sam said leaning against a locker. "I'm not the type to hold a grudge. I always try to see the best in people."
"I know you do. It's one of the reasons I liked you so much.' Quinn said. "Sorry that was inappropriate." And Quinn made her way back to the choir room
"Quinn wait." Sam said, grabbing her arm to turn her around to face him. "Everyone makes mistakes. From the smallest ones like just then to the bigger ones that last even longer. But the point of mistakes is to forgive. And Quinn, I forgive you."
Quinn smiled. "So wait, You're sorry and you forgive me at the same time, how does that work?"
"It just...does." Sam said before they both started giggling. "It's good to see you again Q."
"You to Sam." Quinn answered and she couldn't help but feel giddy when Sam flashed his trademark grin. "We'd better head back inside."
The both of them returned to the room but had only made it two steps in when they saw everyone leaving.
"Guys, we're going to have an engagement party tomorrow night at seven, can you both make it." Kurt asked as he approached the two while everyone else passed by.
"Yeah fine with me." Sam said.
"Sound great." Quinn answered.
"Great, see you both tomorrow night." Kurt said with a giggle of excitement as he left the classroom.
"Hey man you ready to split." Puck asked as he walked towards the door.
"Yeah, sure, let's go." Sam said.
"Good seeing you again Baby Momma." Puck said, planting a peck on her cheek as well. Quinn gave him a shove that was accompanied by a smile.
"So, I'll see you tomorrow." Sam said and he as well gave Quinn the tinniest peck on the cheek, one that lasted much shorter then the one that had started the evening. He then left the room after Puck but Quinn was not left alone for long when Blaine quickly ran into the room.
"I saw you two, leave the room earlier, what happened?" Blaine asked, grabbing Quinn's arm.
"You mind your own business Mister soon to be Anderson-Hummel." Quinn said as she and Blaine made there way to the front of the school and out the doors. They began to talk about the up and coming wedding.
"So Quinn, I have a favor to ask." Blaine said
"I am all ears." Quinn said as they made there way down the front steps of the school where Quinn's car was waiting with Santana and Brittany already inside.
"For the wedding, Kurt is asking Finn the be his Best Man." Blaine said. "I was wondering if you would like to be my "Best Woman of Honour?"
They had reached the bottom of the stairs and lucky they had because Quinn nearly lost her balance.
"Really, you wan't me?" Quinn asked. "What about another family member?"
"The only person I have close enough to be a surrogate sibling for me on my wedding day is a second cousin who is about ten years old." Blaine said. "Plus, I want you to do it."
"Aw Blaine that is so sweet. And "Best Woman of Honour." Very clever." Quinn said before pausing to think. "Kurt came up with the name didn't he?"
"Hell, I just wanted Best Woman." Blaine laughed
"Well, it would be my honour to be you "Best Woman of-" wait." Quinn said before being hit with a thought. "Would I have to wear a suit?"
"Um No."
"The in that case, I can't wait to walk down you're isle, hold your flowers when you get there, pass you your rings and all that other stuff." Quinn said, giving Blaine a huge hug and kiss on the cheek before they both said their good-bye's and he had walked of while she got in the car.
"Christ, you took your time." Santana said as Quinn buckled up and the car took off.
"Sorry I got caught up." Quinn said before she threw her hand to her head. "Oh shit, I forgot to ask where the engagement party is."
"Chill Quinn, we know where it is." Brittany said from the other side of the back seat.
"Where?" Quinn asked
"Where else." Santana said. "Breadsticks!"
Sorry again it took so long but this was a long chapter and it kept changing so much haha. Please review and i hope you enjoyed.
Oh and another reason i took so long to update is because I was hit with some big Glee news that made me ecstatic.
