5x16 – Glee and The Broadway Star Goodbye
Rachel's Dorm Room – NYU – 20 Years Ago
"Rachel, come on, we're gonna be later for dinner" Finn said from where he was laid out on her bed, flipping through one of Quinn's art magazines. The two were supposed to be going to dinner to meet Quinn and Todd but Rachel hadn't moved from her computer since Finn arrived.
"I know I just want to finish this blog post before we go" Rachel replied, not looking away from her laptop screen. Rachel had started a blog about her love of Broadway, as part of an assignment for one of her classes and Rachel had fallen in love with it and continued it long after the class was over.
"What's this one about" Finn asked.
"About the increasing use of actors in Broadway shows and if they really have what it takes"
"Sounds interesting" Finn said, slightly distracted. While Finn was supportive of Rachel's blog and passions, he could never get into Broadway shows they way she did.
"I know you're lying but I'm done now so we can go" Rachel quipped. She closed down her computer, grabbed her bag and then Finn and she were on their way to dinner.
"So, you thought anymore about what you're gonna do after graduation" Finn wondered as they two walked to the subway. Their graduation plans were starting to come together. Finn had found a student teacher position at a private school, they had found a cheap apartment in Brooklyn to move into and Finn had a ring in his pocket that he was going to give to Rachel, any day now, all that was left was Rachel deciding what she wanted to do for the rest of her life, it was a decision that was proving very difficult for Rachel.
"Live off your teacher's salary" Rachel smirked, before turning serious "I have a few ideas, but nothing is jumping out at me"
"You'll figure it out, and until you do, I will happily let you live off my teacher's salary" Finn flirted. He wrapped his arm around Rachel and pulled her close, Rachel looked up at him full of adoration.
"I love you" Rachel gushed before leaning up to give him a sweet kiss, right in the middle of the street.
"Ditto"
Three hours later, Finn and Rachel were at Finn's apartment and while Finn was fast asleep in bed, Rachel was sat at the kitchen table looking through some comments people had left on her latest blog post. She couldn't sleep because she was worried about her plans for graduation and reading people's comments always cheered her up.
Rachel had been reading for about an hour when a certain comment gave her pause. It was from a girl in one of her classes, Tina.
TinaCChang87 – Great post as always Rachel. Articles like this should be more accessible and viewed by everyone. My mom would love to read this, but she doesn't trust computers lol.
It gave Rachel a sudden idea, she could combine all her passions into one.
"What a great idea!" Rachel exclaimed loudly. She quickly closed her laptop and rushed into Finn's bedroom to wake him.
"Finn, Finn wake up!" Rachel said, urgently as she jumped onto the bed. She put her leg over, so she was straddling Finn as she shook him awake.
"Rachel? What is it?" Finn groaned as he tried to get back to sleep, he pulled the duvet over himself, but Rachel immediately pulled it back to get his attention.
"I know what I'm gonna after graduation"
"What's that" Finn asked, only half listening. Rachel beamed from where she was knelt over him, not at all bothered that Finn was half asleep, she had to tell someone.
"I'm gonna start a magazine"
Rachel and Finn's House – West Village – Friday Morning
Rachel walked into the kitchen early Friday morning, on her last day at Broadway Star, to find the kitchen covered in balloons, streamers, and enough breakfast food to feed the entire street. Finn and the children were all there as well and when they saw Rachel they popped their party poopers which made Mason jump in his high chair.
"Yay Mommy!" Henry cheered as he threw a balloon at his bewildered mother.
"What's all this?" Rachel asked, surprised as she walked further into the kitchen. She gave Rose and Henry each a kiss on the cheek then took a seat at the breakfast bar.
"Well, we thought you'd be a bit emotional today, so we thought a nice breakfast might cheer you up" Finn explained as she handed Rachel a plate of pancakes, loaded with syrup and crispy bacon.
"Aww that's so sweet" Rachel gushed, leaning across to give Finn a quick kiss before she picked up a piece of bacon.
"I'm really not as emotional as thought I'd be. I mean yes, it is my last day and the job I've had for almost twenty years. A magazine I started and built from the ground up that I'm now leaving in the hands of someone else… why would that make me emotional" Rachel finished before bursting into tears. Finn rushed to her side as her children looked on shocked.
"Daddy, Mommy's crying!" Rose said, alarmed.
"It's still going to be your magazine Rachel and you know that Tina will do a brilliant job" Finn reasoned, soothingly. Rachel gave him a look "Of course not as a brilliant a job as you do"
"Thank you" Rachel smiled as she took the napkin that Rose was offering her. Rachel dapped her eyes then gave her children a smile, so they knew she was okay.
"Have a waffle Mommy" Henry encouraged, handing Rachel his half-eaten waffle. Rose glared at her brother while Rachel took the waffled, appreciatively.
"These a bite taken out of it" Rose noted.
"There were really nice" Henry said, with a mouth full of food, which gained a small laugh form his still emotional mother.
Broadway Star Offices – 12 Years Ago
"Okay guys this is it, our new offices" Rachel exclaimed as herself and her small staff walked off the elevator on the 4th floor of the Times Square building. It hadn't been used in over four years, so it needed a paint job, electrician work and a new window but it was the best thing Rachel had ever seen.
"It's amazing" Tina enthused, more for the benefit of Rachel, as the office floor was anything but amazing.
"There's rat droppings in the corner" Ryan noted, with a side eye to the floor, Tina lightly slapped him on the arm in response.
"We can pick those up" Fiona reasoned.
"Speak for yourself" Rachel whispered, not feeling as excited as she had now that she'd fully seen all the work that would need doing to the new office.
"Okay enough of that guys, this place is amazing!" Tina encouraged, clapping her hands with finality.
"We need a picture to remember this moment" Tina added. Everyone nodded in agreement, so Tina took out her camera and set it up on her tripod. "Okay everyone gather round"
"Okay on 3…1…2…3" Ryan said, just as Ryan pressed the button to take the photo, a light fixture fell from the roof and smashed just a few feet next to them.
"Ahhhhh!" Rachel screamed, jumping out of the way, and moving behind Tina.
"It's okay we can fix that"
Rachel's Office – Broadway Star Offices – Friday Morning
Rachel walked into her office an hour after her amazing breakfast with her family, to find her whole office completely empty, there was no one round despite it already being 9'o clock, even Tina wasn't at her desk, which was very alarming to Rachel.
"Where is everyone?" Rachel wondered as she walked into her office.
"Surprise"
Every single person on Rachel's staff had squeezed into her office to throw confetti at her and yell surprise. The available space that wasn't covered with staff was covered with balloons.
"What is this" Rachel asked, for the second time that day as she squeezed into her office.
"We just thought your last day should start off right" Tina reasoned.
"You're not the only ones who thought so" Rachel chuckled before smiling at all her staff "This is very sweet guys"
"Just our way to show you how much we love you and how much we're gonna miss you" Tina grinned, then grew concerned when Rachel started to cry.
"Oh here it comes again" Rachel blubbered, before pulling out some tissues from her bag.
Rachel and Finn's old Apartment – 19 years ago
"Okay so welcome to your first day at Broadway Star" Rachel declared, happily as she waved her hand to her's and Finn's spare room that Rachel had turned into her offices.
"Quite a way to announce the spare room in your apartment" Tina quipped, as she looked around the small room. Rachel had put up two Ikea desk and chairs and a vision board on the wall but nothing else.
"I know! But this is all we can afford. We have to put together a presentation for our magazine to show to the people at the publishing house, once we have that locked in I can secure the loan with the bank" Rachel explained as they both took a seat at their new desks.
"That doesn't sound took hard" Tina reasoned, only slightly worried.
"You're still working part time at that restaurant right" Rachel asked. Tina nodded "Well I promise you when everything is secure I'll make sure you never work in that restaurant again and I'll even throw in a Chanel bag"
Once Rachel had decided on her idea for the magazine, she had cornered Tina while she had been working at the restaurant and told her that she needed to do this with Rachel because Rachel got her idea because of Tina's comment. Tina had been hesitant but ultimately decided to do it but still keep her hours at the restaurant as well.
"I'm gonna hold you to that" Tina smiled before clapping her hands "Let's get to work"
XoXo
"Hey, I remember that bag" Rachel laughed as she noticed the Chanel bag on Tina's desk. Rachel had kept her promise and bought Tina a Chanel bag with the money she got from selling the magazines in Target, which was the first major store to sell the magazine.
"You always keep your promise" Tina said, firmly before handing Rachel a large box "I have something for you now"
As other staff members started to leave Rachel's office to get on with their work, Rachel walked over to her desk and started opening the box Tina had given. Rachel pulled out a burgundy Chanel bag with a gold chain, Rachel had been drooling over it in the latest issue of Vogue, with Tina just the week before.
"Oh Tina it's beautiful" Rachel enthused, hugging the bag close to her chest before reaching across the desk to give Tina a huge hug.
"Are you gonna start crying again" Tina asked, cautiously when she noticed the fresh tears in Rachel's eyes.
"Yep, here it comes" Rachel sobbed. Tina passed Rachel a tissue with an amused smile.
Meeting Room #1 – Broadway Star Offices – Friday Morning
An hour later, the small party had disbanded, and everyone went back to work. Rachel and her editors went to the meeting room to have their last pitch meeting. Once everyone had a drink and everything settled. Rachel stood up to begin the meeting.
"Okay so today, we need to discuss…" Rachel trailed off as she looked around her conference room "You know what, you guys know what you're doing. Grace why don't you start us off"
Grace nodded firmly before standing up to face everyone "Okay, so today we need to discuss the July issue…"
Rachel and Finn's Apartment – Brooklyn – 17 years ago
"Oh god, I'm gonna throw up. Yep I'm gonna throw up" Quinn cried as she took deep breaths while putting her head between her legs. The others just looked at her in slight annoyance.
"Quinn, you're not going to throw up" Mercedes said, soothingly from where she was laid out on Rachel and Finn's apartment
"You need to get a grip" Santana snipped, rolling her eyes at Quinn.
"I'm nervous for her" Quinn argued.
"Will you all stop TALKING" Rachel shouted. Rachel was pacing the kitchen and didn't even bother looking at the others as she continued to pace. Finn got up from his chair and walked over to Rachel, he put his arms on hers to stop her from pacing then wrapped his arms around her.
"Rachel, you've done everything you can. The magazine is amazing and soon everyone will know it" Finn gushed "You've worked hard Rachel, and everyone is going to see that. I'm so proud of you"
Rachel smiled lovingly at him "Thank you"
"Oh he's good" Santana quipped, with a small smile.
Rachel and Co were waiting for a phone call from The Juilliard Store, they were going to decide if they would sell the magazine in their store, it would be huge for Rachel and would mean that she would be able to hire more staff and finally move out of her office in the apartment.
"When did they say they would call" Santana asked.
"Any minute now" Rachel replied, checking her phone for the hundredth time that morning.
"Let's sit down" Finn coached, he pulled Rachel to the sofa where the others were seated. They all sat in comfortable silence for a few minutes before the ringing of Rachel's phone cut through the tension.
"Oh god!" Rachel sighed, anxious running her hands through her hair
"Rachel answer it" Quin snapped. Rachel rushed for the phone and pressed accept.
"Hello… this is she…. Hmmm, okay thank you for letting me know" Rachel concluded her call then put her phone on the coffee table without a word. She remained silent as everyone watched her carefully.
"Rachel?" Finn said, carefully. He shook Rachel to get her attention. Rachel eventually looked up at them.
"The Juilliard Store is going to sell my magazine" Rachel replied, the smile growing on her face.
"Oh my god!" Quinn exclaimed loudly as they all rushed over to Rachel to hug her.
Rachel's Office – Broadway Star Offices – Friday Afternoon
"How come we've never eaten here before, this view is incredible" Quinn mused as she looked out at Rachel's Central Park view while the others had their lunches at Rachel's desk. The girls had come to keep Rachel's company for lunch as they knew she wouldn't want to leave the offices until she absolutely had to.
"Trust you to realise that on Rachel's last day" Mercedes quipped, smiling at Quinn, who had taken the train from Rochester with Puck and NJ, so they could be here on Rachel's last day.
"Oh no, look what you've done Mercedes" Santana snipped, when she noticed Rachel had started crying into her salad. Quinn rushed over to her and wrapped her arm around Rachel.
"I'm sorry I've been doing it all day. This was my first baby and now I feel like I'm watching it leave me to go to college" Rachel explained, as Quinn patted her eyes with a tissue. Quinn was now back to being full on mother hen now that she had a new baby.
"Except you're the one leaving, so it more like your abandoning your child" Santana reasoned, with a slight shrug. Mercedes and Quinn both gaped at her.
"Why would you say that!" Quinn snapped.
"I was kidding! Here Rachel have the last of my mac and cheese" Santana said, soothingly as she handed her take out container to Rachel, Rachel grabbed it quickly and started ravishing it.
"It really is incredible what you did here Rachel" Mercedes gushed.
"Thank you, you guys and Finn you all helped me. I wouldn't have been able to do it without you guys or without Tina" Rachel argued, smiling at them all with tears in her eyes.
"You'd have found a way, you always do" Quinn grinned.
"So much is changing it hard to wrap my head around it all" Santana said, softly and sincere. In just a few weeks they would all be leaving New York and for the first time in almost twenty years they would be away from each other.
"Oh god, it's starting again" Rachel snivelled, grabbing for a tissue. She started crying harder when she realised there was none left.
Broadway Star Offices Main Floor – Friday Afternoon
Once Rachel had walked her friends to the elevator, she spent some time walking through the large office space taking it all in. She sometimes couldn't believe it was all hers, after 20 years she had successful magazine. it had given her so much and she wasn't sure how she was going to say goodbye to it.
"Hey Rachel" Tina called to her, Rachel looked her way "The look book is ready for you"
"Coming" Rachel replied. She walked back into her office where Tina had set up the look book on her glass table for them both to look through.
Rachel took a seat at the table and started making notes with Tina for the last time.
"I really think this layout needs to be bolder and that the article about Andrew Lloyd Webbers new show should be before the article about the new actress for the Pretty Women Musical" Tina explained.
"I completely agree Tina" Rachel grinned.
"Good, I'll send it back to the art department"
Tina closed the book, picked it up and started to leave but before she reached the door, she turned back and walked over to Rachel.
"I hope you know how hard I'll work Rachel. I won't let you down" Tina said, seriously.
"Tina" Rachel beamed taking Tina's hand "You have gone above and beyond my wildest expectations. You worked two jobs while still helping me with this magazine at the beginning and I can never thank you enough. You are going to do an amazing job, I have no doubt"
"Thank you, Rachel" Tina beamed.
"I'm really gonna miss you" Rachel cried, softly. Tina dropped the book on Rachel's desk then reached across to give Rachel a tight hug. Rachel and Tina had spent almost everyday together for the last twenty years and it would be a huge adjustment for them both when Rachel left.
"I'm gonna miss you too" Tina agreed, she could feel the tears welling in her eyes. "Oh now you've got me doing it" Tina sobbed as the women continued to hold each other tightly.
Broadway Star Offices Main Floor – Friday Afternoon
A few hours later, Rachel walked out of her office to see everyone was packing up their things to leave for the weekend. Rachel pulled up a chair and stood on it to get everyone's attention.
"Hey guys, I wanna say something really quick" Rachel said, loudly. Everyone stopped what they were doing to look towards their boss. Rachel motioned to Tina who started handing everyone a plastic cup and filling it with some champagne.
"I wanna thank you for all the hard work you guys do every day. This magazine wouldn't run without you guy. Some of you have been here since the beginning and some we've picked up along the way but every single one of you has always given me your all and I can't thank you enough" Rachel explained.
"I'm really gonna miss this place but I know I'm leaving it in the best possible hands" Rachel smiled over at Tina "I wanna raise a glass" Rachel held up her glass "To Broadway Star and all you amazing people"
"Broadway Star!" Everyone cheered before taking a drink of their champagne. Tina then nodded her to Ryan who then let off some more party poppers to everyone's cheers.
"Here Rachel we got you a little something" Ryan said, handing Rachel a gift bag. Rachel pulled out a photo frame and the photo was from the very first day at their current building just before the light fixture had fallen.
"Ha this is amazing guys" Rachel gushed, she glanced over at the table where all her other presents "I think you may have over done it with the presents, but I'll treasure them always"
"To Rachel!" Tina cheered loudly, holding up her glass.
"RACHEL"
"Okay guys get out of here and enjoy your weekend" Rachel chuckled, waving her hand at them all before getting down from the chair.
"Yep, I'll see you all bright and early Monday morning" Tina joked.
"You're gonna be good at this" Rachel laughed, shaking her head amused, as she walked back over to Tina who was packing up Rachel's presents ready for her to take home, even at the end Tina was still the best executive assistant.
"Wanna go get a drink before I meet Mike and the Kids" Tina asked.
"I think, I'm gonna stick around a while, pack up the rest of the office but I'll see you Saturday" Rachel replied, she wasn't ready to leave just yet despite the fact there was no work left to do that day.
"Absolutely" Tina agreed, with a wide smile. She reached out and squeezed her hand "Bye Rachel"
"Bye" Rachel replied, before walking back into her office.
Rachel's Office – Broadway Star Offices – Early Friday Evening
"Mommy!" Henry shouted as he ran into Rachel's office two hours later, with Rose and Finn trailing behind, Mason was being carried by Rose, and Rachel hoped it was just from the elevator as Rose had a habit of dropping Mason when she was bored of him.
"Hey Sweetie" Rachel replied, giving each of her children a kiss "What you guys doing here, I told you I had to pack up my office"
"Did you really think we were going to let you do that alone" Finn quipped, as he bent down to take Mason from Rose.
"Give me my baby" Rachel demanded, holding her hands out for Mason. Finn passed Mason to Rachel, then walked over to Rose and Henry who were pulling things from the shelves.
"Hey baby" Rachel gushed as she smothered Mason with kisses.
"Okay what needs doing first" Finn asked, walking back over to Rachel.
"Everything" Rachel grumbled. She spent the last two hours looking over everything in her office but had made no moves at all to actually pack any of it.
"Good job I brought supplies" Finn replied, he walked to Rachel's office door and picked up the four large boxes he'd brought with him. Rachel let out a loud groan before going back to playing with Mason.
XoXo
"And this is where we have our important meetings" Rachel explained as she walked Rose and Henry into the conference room. While Finn gave Mason a bottle in Rachel's office, Rachel decided to give Henry and Rose a tour of the large office space.
"Mommy, we've been here before" Rose argued, exasperated.
"Just indulge Mommy sweetie" Rachel replied, sweetly, before taking both her children's hand and talking them towards the kitchen.
"What does indulge mean" Henry whispered to Rose as Rachel explained some of the art work in the kitchen to them.
"I don't know but let's just follow her" Rose replied, when she noticed her Mother had walked off, and gone towards the staff room.
"What did you think of mommy's office" Rachel asked once Rose and Henry had caught up to her. Rose and Henry had seen all of the different offices in their mother's office many times before but even though they were both young, Rose and Henry both knew it was important to their mommy to show them what she did every day. Especially, to Rose who was still learning about Feminism and what it meant to be a woman with power and responsibility, something Rachel definitely want ed to instil in her daughter.
"Its great Mommy" Rose replied, excited mainly for the benefit of her mother.
"It's really is" Henry added, just as excited. The tour finally finished, and Rachel took her children back into her office.
"What's all this?" Rachel wondered, when she noticed Finn had set up sleeping bags and pillows on the floor along with some sweets and drinks. Rachel wasn't even sure where he'd gotten it all from.
"I figured we could have a sleepover, one last night in the office before you say goodbye" Finn explained, happily. Rachel smiled at her thoughtful husband and gave him a quick kiss as fresh tears came to her eyes.
"Oh god, I don't think I'm ever gonna stop"
XoXo
An hour later, their dinner had been delivered and Rachel, Finn and the children were sat in a circle on the floor of Rachel's office, enjoying an Italian feast.
"This pasta is sooooo good Daddy" Henry gushed, his face covered in tomato sauce as he held out his fork for his father to try.
"I can see that Buddy" Finn laughed before taking a small bite of the pasta then wiped his sons face.
"It was really good though" Rachel agreed, Finn let out a chuckle when he saw that Rachel too had tomato sauce around her mouth.
"I can see" Finn replied, shaking his head. He was wiping the sauce from Rachel's lip just as Quinn, Santana and Mercedes walked into the office with more packing boxes and supplies.
"Hey what are you guys doing here?" Rachel asked.
"Do you really have to ask that question" Santana replied, sarcastically as she plopped herself down next to Rose and helped herself to some garlic bread.
"We brought dessert" Mercedes cheered, handing two cake boxes to Finn before she took a seat on the floor.
"And boxes because I knew you wouldn't have packed anything away yet" Quinn added. Instead of sitting down. Quinn walked over to Rachel's desk and started putting things in boxes.
"Let's have dessert first" Rachel said, with a pleading smile at Quinn who nodded reluctantly.
The group finished dinner then shared out the banana cream pies and then as soon as they had all eaten Quinn jumped back up and started handing them all boxes.
"Okay that's done, none let's split up into teams and get this done. I didn't come all the way from Rochester to not get this finished tonight" Quinn said, firmly
Santana shook her head, as she glared at Quinn "Who invited the buzzkill"
XoXo
"Rachel do you really need this old elastic band ball" Quinn argued, holding up the ball to Rachel. An hour alter the group had put a dent into the packing, but it was getting difficult as Rachel was unwilling to throw anything away.
"Do you know how long it took me to make this" Rachel argued, earnestly. Quinn gave her a look as she couldn't work out if Rachel was being serious or not.
"Why would you do that, when you can buy them like this" Quinn said, confused.
"You can buy them like this!" Rachel said, alarmed. Quinn rolled her eyes at Rachel before throwing the ball into the garbage bag.
"Hey guys!" Brittany called as she walked into the office with Puck, carrying Egan, NJ, and Sam.
"Hey NJ!" Henry shouted, waving at his friend from where him and Rose where playing under the table.
"Hey Guys" Nj shouted back before rushing over to them and joining them in their colouring.
"My children should be in bed" Quinn mused, give Puck a slightly harsh look as she took Egan from him.
"I brought them a bed" Puck reasoned, nodding to Sam who was holding up some sleeping bags and pillows.
"We also brought some champagne" Sam added, who then nodded to Brittany who was already popping the champagne and serving them all some.
"Now we're talking" Santana said, excited. Once everyone had a glass in their hand they all glanced at Puck who let out a sigh before holding up his glass.
"To Broadway Star, a wonderful magazine that I'm sure none of us has read before" Puck joked.
"Broadway Star!" Everyone cheered.
"Have you guys really never read my magazine" Rachel asked, sadly once they had all had a drink. Everyone glanced guilty at each other but didn't say anything to Rachel.
"Broadway Star!" Everyone cheered again.
"I can't believe you've never read my magazine" Rachel cried with yet another batch of tears in her eyes.
"What is she doing" Puck asked, shocked, not at all used to Rachel being so emotional. Finn rushed over to his wife and gave her hug. While Rachel glared at Puck as he continued to look baffled at her.
"It's been an emotional day!"
Broadway Star Main Floor – Friday Night
"Think the kids are okay?" Finn asked as Rachel pushed him towards one of the desks at the back of the office floor.
"I'm sure they will be for ten minutes" Rachel reasoned. She found an empty desk and jumped on it and pulled Finn towards her.
"Just ten minutes" Finn complained, as he started to leave kisses along Rachel's neck while working his hands up her top. Rachel let out a satisfied groan as she started undoing Finn's shirt.
"I can't believe I've had this office for 12 years and we've never done this before" Rachel said, astonished.
"We're obviously stupid" Finn chuckled.
"So stupid"
"God, I love you" Finn mused, before giving a searing kiss as they both laid down on the desk while Rachel started pulling down Finn's zipper.
"Yeah, yeah shut up and kiss me"
Finn did as Rachel asked and the two kissed for a few moments before pulling away slightly to get themselves into position.
"I love you too" Rachel said before pulling Finn towards her again.
Rachel's office – Broadway Star Offices – Saturday Morning
"Rachel! Rachel!"
"Tina, what time is it" Rachel croaked as she slowly woke up. She sat up and suddenly realised she was on the floor of her office. Everyone else was around her in various states of sleep, as they all started to wake up and pull themselves out of the sleeping bags.
"It's 9am… and Saturday. Did you guys sleep here" Tina laughed.
"We must have done"
"Oh this floor is not as comfortable as it looks" Puck groaned loudly. They group started collecting all their stuff and the boxes they had packed up the night before.
"We'll be getting out of your way Boss Lady" Finn mused, with a smile and a hug to Tina before joining the others waiting by the door.
"I'll see you guys tonight" Tina called, to them all as they started to leave. They had reached the elevator and were waiting for it to arrive when Santana turned to Mercedes and Sam with a smirk on her face.
"So are we ever gonna talk about the fact that you two got married in Vegas" Santana quipped.
"Who wants WAFFLES" Mercedes shouted, before glaring at Santana as they all got into the elevator. Mercedes and Sam had yet to make a decision about what they were going to do about their drunken wedding in Vegas.
"Me!" Rose beamed.
"Me!" NJ agreed, earnestly.
"Me!" Sam added, excited ignoring the look Santana was giving him.
"You ready Rachel" Finn asked, when he noticed she hadn't joined them in the elevator.
"Yeah let's go" Rachel sighed. She had one last look around the office, smiling at Tina sat at her desk then joined the others, ready for some waffles.
