6x07 Transitioning
Will and Emma were walking through the park in Lima while visiting with Emma's parents the following Monday. Danny was in his stroller being pushed.
"You know, it's been great to hang out with the New Directions and see the kids," said Will, "and this job has been great too. I feel like something's missing. Hey, why don't we let Danny get out and play for a bit?"
"Are you kidding? He might touch something," said Emma.
"Life is great, I got a good job, a beautiful wife, an amazing son..." Will was interrupted by a gasp from Emma and he turned to see Rachel, Blaine, Kurt, and Noelle standing in front of them covered in raw egg and eggshells.
"Oh my god, what happened?" asked Will.
"I'm filing assault charges against your students, Mr. Schue," said Noelle. "Vocal Adrenaline decided to keep up with the traditional "Egging Your Enemy" spiel."
"We showed up at McKinley for a meeting this morning we organized and we got ambushed," said Blaine.
"I'm so sorry, you guys, I will personally punish them," said Will. "I will not tolerate this."
"I'm still pressing charges," scowled Noelle. "Maybe that will teach them a lesson." She stormed off, leaving the others looking astonished.
"I hope you all learned your lesson," Will said as Vocal Adrenaline sat embarrassingly in Carmel's auditorium a couple days later after spending a couple days in Juvie. "Noelle Hudson-Koontz is not a force to be reckon with. I would know, because she was a former student of mine. She's determined, driven and won't let anything keep her down."
"Her music sucks," said Clint. Will pointed his finger at him, seething.
"Don't you EVER, say that about Noelle's music," said Will. Clint gulped. "Noelle is like a daughter to me. She is talented, smart, and the nicest girl you will ever meet. I'm ashamed of all of you. This is not what Show Choir is about. We do not assault other teams, their faculty, advisors, or mentors or anyone they know. We do not bully or ridicule anyone for any reason. If I catch any of you harassing anyone, period, you are off the team."
"You can't do that!" cried Clint.
"Oh I can," seethed Will. "And there's no trying to go and cry to the principal or the superintendent because you guys are already in hot water for slashing Principal Gunderson's tires."
"She looks like a man," said one of the guys.
"She gave me detention cause my skirt was too short to her standards," growled one of the girls.
"Enough!" said Will. "Okay, since I seem to be getting nowhere, I will introduce this weeks lesson. Tolerance. If you don't have any, the door is that way. You follow my rules or don't compete."
"You're kidding."
"Nope, Mr. Schue gave Vocal Adrenaline a verbal beatdown and they quit!" grinned Noelle. "He called me and told me what happened. Also, it turns out that because the Vocal Adrenaline kids threw the eggs at us that they are disqualified from sectionals. He called the Show Choir board and was honest with them that he had nothing to do with it so he's off the hook."
"He's also out of a job," said Rachel.
"Oh, I took care of that problem," said Noelle, slinging her thumb behind her. The alumni gathered in the choir room at McKinley gasped when Will walked in.
"Guess who's back?" asked Mr. Schue.
"Yaye!" cheered the group as they came over and hugged him.
"Superintendent Harris heard about the egging and asked me to come back as the Glee Club's special advisor," said Mr. Schue.
"So with no Vocal Adrenaline, does this mean it's just us and the Warblers for sectionals?" asked Santana.
"More than likely," said Mr. Schue. "Anyways, I have some great ideas for the kids for this week's lesson. You heard that Coach Bieste is back from his gender transition, right?"
"Yeah," said Noelle. "I saw him this morning, it was weird. But I'm happy for Coach Bieste. I feel bad though what happened to his car the other day after we got egged."
"Anyways, I thought this week's theme could be called Transitioning," said Will. "We've got several alumni and all the new kids and Kitty, and I thought we could partner up for duets."
"Great idea!" said Kurt.
"Speaking of transitions, my dad said he's selling my house," said Rachel. "He's getting an apartment."
"What? Why?" asked Noelle. "I thought you and the kids were gonna move in with him!"
"No," said Rachel shaking her head. "Daddy and I talked it over and we agreed it wouldn't be fair to the kids since they've grown up in Burt and Carole's house for the majority of their life so far. Besides, I want them to grow up with all the pictures around them of Finn, and to have Carole and Burt and you two telling them stories. Plus, my dad's opening trust funds for them as a way to make up for the last few years of not being around. Anyways, I've decided to throw a party at the house before Daddy moves out. Why don't we make the duets a part of the party?"
"Great idea," said Josh, who had returned from Nashville. Brittney and Santana were getting married in two weeks, and the last minute arrangements were being made, including tux and dress fittings. Puck and Quinn would be back with their kids in a couple days, but Puck was more than likely going to wear his dress uniform at the ceremony and reception.
"I hope we can get some more members before sectionals," said Harmony. "Six isn't going to cut it. I wish we could get the others back.
"They're scattered and as long as Sue Sylvester's principal, there's no way she'll let them back into the school," said Heather.
"Why can't we just go to Superintendent Harris and ask him to allow them to come back?" asked Rachel. "This is a public school system for God's sake! It's not like they were expelled or something!"
"I'll talk to Puck and have him get a hold of Jake," said Josh. "I'm sure he has Ryder and Marley's numbers or talks to them on Facebook or something."
"Actually, I can solve that problem right now," said Kitty as she walked into the choir room. "I just came from the superintendent's office. I just got Sue Sylvester fired."
"What!" screeched the group.
"I told him everything," said Kitty. "I told him everything Sue Sylvester's done while at this school. I snitched, and so did Becky. I told him how she's sabotaged the glee club several times, then blackmailed the school board to get reinstated after being fired several times. And Rachel, Noelle, Kurt, there's something you need to know."
"What?' asked Noelle with a look of fear in her eyes.
"The accident that killed Finn wasn't an accident," said Kitty.
"What?" everyone exclaimed.
"What do you mean?" asked Noelle.
"Noelle, the person driving the car was hired to kill you, Rachel, Josh, and Finn," said Kitty. "Sue Sylvester hired the driver to kill you four as part of her plan to dismantle the New Directions. Sue Sylvester murdered Finn. She's just been arrested when the Super and I went in to fire her."
The group heard Rachel gasp and turned to see her faint. Sam caught her just in time.
"Rachel!" cried Noelle.
"Rachel! Rachel, can you hear me?"
Rachel moaned as she slowly opened her eyes. Her vision was blurry as she saw her friends forming around her.
"Rachel," asked Will, "are you okay?"
"I think so," said Rachel. "What happened?"
"You fainted," said Mercedes. "Sam caught you before you cracked your head open on the floor."
"Sue tried to kill us?" Rachel asked Kitty, clearly remembering what the conversation had been before she fainted.
"Yup, and the police found out she had a storage locker on the outskirts of Lima Heights with so much evidence to put her away for the rest of her life," said Kitty. "Well, she still has to go on trial first. That will be in a few weeks according to the police."
"Dear lord, this is insanity," said Noelle as she sat down, trying to process all the information. "I thought the guy was drunk? That's what the police said in New York."
"He was," said Kitty. "But he confessed that he had been hired to kill you four to the police after he had been found guilty. He said he had been drinking while deciding whether or not to accept Sue's offer and he still ended up killing Finn while driving drunk. Since he was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter, he's going to get off easier since he told the police that he had been hired to kill you guys. And he wasn't going to accept Sue's offer. It just happened to be a fluke or something that you were walking where he was driving."
Just then the bell rang, signaling the start of Glee Club. The five newbies walked in, followed by another boy.
"Hey guys, we just got a new recruit!" said Roderick excitedly. "This is Alistair, my lab partner, he wants to join!"
"Excellent!" said Noelle. "Welcome aboard!"
"He's a great singer, he auditioned for all of us with his ukulele!" said Madison as everyone took a seat.
"You guys, before we begin this week's lesson, there's a few announcements we need to make," said Noelle. "First off, Mr. Schue quit teaching Vocal Adrenaline and is now going to be special counsel to you guys. Also, as most of you know, Rachel, Kurt, Blaine and I were egged by Vocal Adrenaline the other day and the show choir board has disqualified them from Sectionals. They also egged, TP-ed and slashed the tires on Coach Bieste's car after we were egged, and the show choir board found them in violation of the rules."
"What?" cried Kitty.
"This means that the Warblers and the New Directions will probably be the only competitors at sectionals," said Blaine. "And I promise you that The Warblers mean business. I am trying to get them to stop acting like jerks. Anyways, I have to go you guys, see you all later!"
"Bye Blaine!" everyone said as he left.
"Second, something very important has been brought to our attention," said Rachel. "Coach Sylvester was arrested this morning."
"For what?" asked Mason.
"I was wondering what the yelling and screaming was all about," said Jane. "I could hear it from my biology class."
Rachel took a deep breath.
"Coach Sylvester tried to hire someone to kill me, Noelle, Josh, and Finn," said Rachel. "The accident that killed Finn was not an accident. Or so the driver claims."
"Wait, you mean she hired someone to hit Finn with that car on purpose?" asked Madison.
"I would have been the one dead, if not all of us," said Noelle. "Anyways, she's been arrested on numerous charges and she will probably spend the rest of her life in prison if she doesn't get the death penalty."
"Also, Santana and Brittney's wedding is in two weeks and we've been asked to perform at the reception so get some songs thought of, okay?" asked Rachel.
"We are going to have it in Indiana since gay marriage is illegal still in Ohio," said Santana, "so I want you all to ask your folks if they are interested in attending so we can get a final head count."
"And now, for the moment you've all been waiting for," said Kurt. "This week's lesson is..." Kurt walked over to the board and wrote "TRANSITIONING" on it.
"Each of you is going to pair up with someone and sing a duet!" said Noelle. " Alistair, since you're new, you're off the hook unless you want to sing alone or with possibly Mr. Schue, if that's okay?" Alistair nodded as Will nodded in approval. Noelle changed the tone of her voice and started to sound like a game show host. "And to do that, we have a cool prop here that I put together at the last minute. Wheel, of, Musical, Fortune! Tell them Josh, what the rules ensue!"
Josh played along began to sound like a game show announcer.
"Well Noelle, the rules are as follows. Each contestant is going to come up and spin the wheel. There are six members of New Directions listed on the wheel, and the remaining names are the present alumni that you can possibly be paired up with. You must then pick a song from this hat on the piano. All the songs were thought of at random. The songs will be sung at a party at Rachel's house on Friday night after the wedding fittings. Unfortunately, no prizes will be awarded but we thank you for playing anyways since it's part of your grade!"
The group laughed and clapped as Josh ended his impression and Noelle sighed.
"Okay, so I'll spin the wheel first," said Noelle. She spun the wheel and it landed on Madison.
"M and N, that will work," laughed Noelle as Josh removed Madison and Noelle's names from the wheel. "Madison, you come pick the song."
Madison got up and reached into the hat. She pulled out the paper and said "Payphone by Maroon 5".
"Oh no, now I'm never gonna get that song out of my head!" moaned Noelle. "Why did I put that one in there?"
Everyone took turns spinning the wheel after them if they weren't landed on.
Alistair and Will decided to pair up after all and Alistair pulled a song from the hat.
"What is Miss Incredible, and who is Mark Ballas?" asked Alistair as he read the piece of paper. The group let out a mixture of groans and laughter as Noelle pumped her fist in the air.
"A very good friend of mine," said Noelle. "Looks like you get to rap a bit Mr. Schue."
"Oh god," muttered Kurt with a look of horror on his face.
The final pairings and songs ended up as follows:
Madison/Noelle: "Payphone"-Maroon 5
Mercedes/Roderick: "All About That Bass"- Meghan Trainor
Jane/Mason: "You Give Love A Bad Name"- Bon Jovi
Blaine/Kurt: "Somebody Loves You"-Betty Who
Kitty/Artie: "Lollipop"-The Chordettes
Spencer/Harmony: "Some Days You Gotta Dance"- Dixie Chicks
Rachel/Josh: "Ho Hey"-The Lumineers
Brittney/Harmony: "I Think I Love You"-The Partridge Family
Santana/Tina: "Mama Said"-The Shirelles
Heather/Mike: "Kodachrome"- Paul Simon
Melissa/Sam: "Time After Time"-Cyndi Lauper
Alistair/Mr. Schue: "Miss Incredible"- Mark Ballas
Rachel, Josh and Noelle were walking with the Finchel spawn through the park later that afternoon, enjoying the breeze when Rachel gasped.
"Rach, what is it?" asked Noelle. Josh and Noelle followed the direction she was looking in and they gasped as well.
"Jesse St. James," growled Noelle. "Just when I thought I was done being egged."
"Rachel? Josh? Noelle?" Jesse asked as he saw them. The three realized he was not alone as he was pushing a stroller as well.
"Jesse? You have kids too?" Rachel asked.
"Obviously not as many as you and Finn did," Jesse joked. He saw Noelle and Josh glaring at him. He held his hands up in defeat.
"Don't worry you guys, I'm not the egg-throwing jerk I was," said Jesse. "This is my son, Ethan. He's 18 months. And the little bitty one is Ella. She's six months. Their mom and I met in New York a few weeks before Nationals in Chicago. Chelsie got pregnant with Ethan and then we got married after she told me she was pregnant but she died in childbirth after she had Ella."
"Oh Jesse," murmured Noelle. "I'm sorry. That's terrible."
"Thanks, there wasn't anything the doctors could do. Chelsie hemorrhaged too quickly for them to save her," said Jesse. "And I'm sorry about Finn you guys. I also just heard it was Coach Sylvester who plotted to kill you guys on the news. That woman is insane. So do I get to be introduced to the Finchel spawn then or what?"
"Oh yeah," said Rachel. "The two oldest here are William and Reagan and the other two are Christopher and Christina. Chris and Christina were conceived the night before Finn died."
"Wow," said Jesse. He knelt down to William and Reagan's levels. The two of them seemed shy.
"Hi guys, I'm Jesse, I'm a friend of your mom and dad's," he said, holding out his hand. "Would you two like to play for a bit with my son Ethan? I would like to talk to your mommy alone if that's okay."
"Can we?" William asked Rachel.
"Sure Buddy," said Rachel.
"Come on guys, we'll take you to the sandbox over there, how's that sound?" asked Noelle as she and Josh gathered up the kiddos.
"Ethan likes Queen and Ella likes Journey," Jesse said to Noelle. Josh grinned as Noelle rolled her eyes.
"Of course, they would get that from you," Noelle teased. As they walked over to the playground with the six kids, Jesse turned to Rachel.
"So I heard you guys brought back the New Directions," said Jesse as he sat on the park bench with Rachel.
"Yeah, we've got seven members at the moment but we're trying to see if we can get Jake, Marley, Ryder and Unique to come back to make it a full twelve," said Rachel.
"If there's anything I can do to help, let me know, okay?" asked Jesse.
"Of course," said Rachel. Her heart was beating rapidly in her chest as they sat there. And then it hit her. She was still in love with Jesse.
"Do you want to uh, go get some coffee later or something?" Jesse asked. "Catch up some more? We could leave Noelle and Josh on babysitting duty."
"I'd like that," said Rachel with a smile. Before either of them could process what happened, Jesse and Rachel gently kissed. Noelle, in the meantime, had been watching the two talking and gasped when she saw them kiss.
"JOSH!" she hissed. "Jesse and Rachel are making out!"
"What?" asked Josh as he looked up from building a sandcastle with the kids.
"It's about time," murmured Noelle as Jesse and Rachel came up to them.
"Hey, we're going to go get some coffee, do you mind watching the kids for a little bit while we're gone?" asked Rachel as they walked up to them hand-in-hand.
"No, not at all," said Noelle as she waved her hand at them. "Go, have fun, behave, and make sure you wrap it up if you can't control those raging hormones." Jesse and Rachel blushed.
"Noelle!" scolded Rachel as Josh laughed.
"I'm happy for you guys, really, you deserve this, Rach," said Noelle. "Finn wouldn't want you to be alone for the rest of your life. Now go! We'll be fine! If plans change, call us and let us know, we can take the kids back to Mom and Dad's."
"Okay," said Rachel.
"I had a really good time, thanks Jesse," said Rachel later that night as they walked up the steps of the Hudson-Hummel residence. "Thank you for dinner, it was wonderful."
"You're welcome," said Jesse, as Rachel turned the key in the lock. "I had a great time too." He lowered his voice in a whisper. "Especially that twenty minutes we spent parked."
Rachel giggled and playfully smacked Jesse as she shushed him. As she opened the door, she saw Noelle. Kurt, and Josh standing there with evil grins on their faces.
"Do you two know what time it is?" hissed Noelle as she teased them.
"Way past the kids' bedtime," Jesse replied. "Are they sleeping?"
"Yes, we put them in the kids' room," said Josh. "Ethan's bunking with William and we put Ella in the crib with Christina."
"We probably shouldn't move them then," Rachel said to Jesse.
"Probably shouldn't," echoed Jesse.
"And you should probably stay the night so they don't wake up back in your house and freak out," said Rachel.
"Probably," Jesse replied.
"OH just go share the bedroom," muttered Kurt. "But keep the noise down, some of us like our beauty sleep."
Noelle and Rachel giggled as Jesse and Josh groaned silently.
"Goodnight you two," Noelle said to Rachel and Jesse as she and Josh headed upstairs. "Take my room, Kurt can't hear you in there."
"Thanks Noelle," said Rachel. "Night."
As Josh and Noelle disappeared out of sight, Jesse looked at Rachel.
"You know why she gave us her room, right" Jesse asked Rachel.
"Why?" asked Rachel as they walked towards Noelle's room.
"She doesn't want me having sex with you in Finn's room," said Jesse.
"Yeah, I can agree on that," agreed Rachel. "But I'm tired and we have a long day tomorrow. Mr. Schue has something prepared for Coach Bieste to make him feel welcomed into the Trans-Gender community and I guess Unique planned it. So we're going to ask Unique if she'll come back to McKinley."
They undressed and got into the bed and Rachel snuggled up to Jesse under the covers.
"Do you think we can make this work? You and I?" Jesse asked Rachel.
"I hope so," said Rachel sleepily. Jesse smiled.
"Me too," said Jesse as he kissed her goodnight. "Goodnight Rach."
"Goodnight Jesse," said Rachel, returning the kiss.
The next morning, Noelle cracked the door of her room open to see Jesse and Rachel still fast asleep in her bed, spooning. She smiled as she tiptoed in and laid some clothes for Rachel on her ottoman and quietly took some of her clothes from the drawer before tiptoeing back out.
She quietly closed the door and as she walked past the mantle, she looked at the picture of Finn and Rachel, the same one on Rachel's desk at McKinley, from their wedding.
"Oh Finn, she's found love again," said Noelle as she looked to the ceiling. "Thank you for bringing Jesse back into her life a changed man. I know you did. Take good care of him for me, Chelsie, and thank you."
Coach Bieste's surprise gift from Mr. Schue, Unique and the New Directions had been an entire choir comprised of people from the Trans-Gender community. He had been brought to tears and thanked everyone for the beautiful gift of acceptance. And to everyone's surprise, Unique agreed to transfer back to McKinley! Now it was a matter of Puck and Quinn, who had arrived that morning, to convince Jake to come back and possibly get in touch with Ryder and Marley.
With Sue Sylvester behind bars, the school was now without a principal and Superintendent Harris was in charge until he could find a replacement. He was more than happy to welcome back the members of the New Directions that had been forced to leave by Coach Sylvester. Now the New Directions, old and new, were gathered in the basement at the Berry residence for their end of the week performances. Rachel had even invited Jesse and he and Unique agreed to sing a song together as well.
"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to the New Directions' Rachel Berry-Hudson Childhood Home Farewell Party!" said Josh into the microphone to the claps and cheers from everyone. "Our first duet of the night is the Diva of the Original New Directions and the new soulful voice of the New New Directions! Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Mercedes Jones and Roderick Meeks!"
The group cheered as the music started and the other New Directions joined in and sang and danced along as Roderick and Mercedes started to sing.

Mercedes and Roderick:
All about that bass, 'bout that bass?
The group cheered and clapped as the song ended. Noelle, who had been sitting in Josh's lap, looked around to see that Rachel and Jesse had disappeared.
"Oh brother," muttered Noelle as she took a sip from her fruity drink that Sam had made her.
"What?" asked Josh.
"Notice who's missing?" Noelle asked as Jane and Mason got up to sing their duet. Josh looked around and rolled his eyes.
"Seriously, not even five minutes into the party and they already went upstairs?" Josh groaned.
"Where's Rachel and Jesse?" hissed Mercedes as she sat next to them.
"Upstairs, I think," said Noelle. "They disappeared during the song."
"Doesn't surprise me," said Quinn as she and Puck sat down in the seats next to them. "Honestly, I always thought those two were a good match but I knew Rachel loved Finn the most in her heart."
"Jesse has changed a lot," said Puck. "And I may have threatened to beat him up if he ever hurt her again so I don't think we have to worry about that."
"Puck!" scolded Noelle, Quinn and Mercedes as Josh and Sam laughed. Jane and Mason ended their song to numerous applause and then Blaine and Kurt got up to sing their duet.
Blaine:
Who's around when the days feel long?
Who's around when you can't be strong?
Who's around when you're losing your mind?
Hey!
Kurt:
Who cares that you get home safe?
Who knows you can't be replaced?
Who thinks that you're one of a kind?
Ooh
Blaine:
Yeah
Blaine and Kurt with Alumni and New Directions:
Somebody misses you when you're away
They wanna wake up with you everyday
Somebody wants to hear you say
Ooh, somebody loves you
Ooh, somebody loves you
Ooh, somebody loves you
Ooh, somebody loves you
Blaine and Kurt:
Ooh, somebody loves you
At this point, Jane had brought over a box of costumes that she had found in one of the basement closets and everyone had started to play dress up.
Blaine:
I'm around when your head is heavy
Kurt:
I'm around when your hands aren't steady
Blaine and Kurt:
I'm around when your day's gone all wrong
Blaine:
Hey!
Blaine and Kurt:
I care that you feel at home
Blaine (Kurt):
Cause I know that you feel alone (You feel alone)
I think you're gonna miss me when I'm gone (You're gonna miss me when I'm)
Blaine and Kurt:
Gone
Blaine and Kurt with Alumni and New Directions:
Somebody misses you when you're away
They wanna wake up with you everyday
Somebody wants to hear you say
Ooh, somebody loves you
Ooh, somebody loves you
Ooh, somebody loves you
Ooh, somebody loves you
Blaine and Kurt:
Ooh, somebody loves you
Why don't you come on over?
Blaine:
Why don't you lay me down? (Kurt: Lay me down)
Blaine and Kurt:
Does the pain feel better when I'm around?
If I am good to you
Blaine:
Won't you be good to me? (Kurt: Good to me)
Blaine and Kurt:
That's how easy this should be, eh, eeh, hee
Kurt with Alumni and New Directions (Blaine):
Somebody misses you when you're away (Somebody misses you, baby)
They wanna wake up with you everyday (They wanna wake up with you-hoo)
Somebody wants to hear you say (Oh, they want you to say)
Blaine and Kurt with Alumni and New Directions:
Ooh, somebody loves you
Ooh, somebody loves you
Ooh, somebody loves you
Ooh, somebody loves you
Blaine and Kurt:
Ooh, somebody loves you
After their duet, Kurt and Blaine had headed upstairs as Blaine had a long drive back to Westerville and as Kurt returned a few minutes later as Noelle and Madison got ready to sing their duet, Noelle noticed the look on his face and raised an eyebrow as she started to sing.
Noelle: I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone, baby it's all wrong
Where are the plans we made for two?
Madison: Yeah, I, I know it's hard to remember,
The people we used to be
It's even harder to picture,
That you're not here next to me
Noelle: You say it's too late to make it,
But is it too late to try?
And in our time that you wasted
Noelle(With Madison): All of our bridges (burned down)
Noelle and Madison: I've wasted my nights,
You turned out the lights
Now I'm paralyzed,
Still stuck in that time,
When we called it love,
But even the sun sets in paradise
I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone, baby it's all wrong
Where are the plans we made for two?
Madison (With Noelle): If "Happy Ever Afters" (did exist),
I would still be holding (you like this)
All those fairy tales are (full of it)
One more stupid love song , (I'll be sick)
Madison: Oh, you turned your back on tomorrow
'Cause you forgot yesterday
Noelle: I gave you my love to borrow,
But you just gave it away
Noelle and Madison: You can't expect me to be fine,
I don't expect you to care
I know I've said it before,
But all of our bridges burned down
I've wasted my nights,
You turned out the lights
Now I'm paralyzed,
Still stuck in that time,
When we called it love,
But even the sun sets in paradise
I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone, baby it's all wrong
Where are the plans we made for two?
Madison (With Noelle): If "Happy Ever Afters" (did exist),
I would still be holding (you like this)
All those fairy tales are (full of it)
One more stupid love song , (I'll be sick)
To everyone's surpise, Noelle started rapping Wiz Khalifa's part and the group cheered and clapped. Will was sitting with Jesse and the two of them were astonished.
Noelle: Man, screw this
I'll be out spending all this money
While you're sitting round wondering
Why it wasn't you who came up from nothing,
Made it from the bottom
Now when you see me I'm stunting,
And all of my cars start with a push of a button
Telling me the chances I blew up
Or whatever you call it,
Switch the number to my phone
So you never could call it,
Don't need my name on my show,
You can tell it I'm ballin'
Swish, what a shame could have got picked
Had a really good game but you missed your last shot
So you talk about who you see at the top
Or what you could have saw but sad to say it's over for
Phantom pulled up valet open doors
Wiz like go away, got what you was looking for
Now it's me who they want, so you can go and take
that little piece of crap with you
Noelle and Madison: I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone, baby it's all wrong
Where are the plans we made for two?
Madison (With Noelle): If "Happy Ever Afters" (did exist),
I would still be holding (you like this)
All those fairy tales are (full of it)
One more stupid love song , (I'll be sick)
Noelle: Now I'm at a Payphone
"Thanks for coming everyone!" said Rachel as the younger New Directions hurried home before curfew. "Great job and see you all on Monday! And remember to be thinking about songs for Brittney and Santana's wedding!"
Rachel closed the front door and turned to the alumni, who were gathered in the living room and packing up boxes.
"Thanks again guys for helping my dad pack up stuff," said Rachel. "Most of it is going to go into storage or be donated to Goodwill if he's not taking it to the apartment."
"Of course, we're happy to," said Quinn. "Honestly, I'm seriously going to miss this place. Remember that party we had downstairs Junior Year?"
"Ugh, I had the worst hangover!" exclaimed Tina.
"That's because you can't hold your liquor, Tina," teased Noelle as she threw some books into a plastic tote.
"How in the world did you manage to be the only one besides Finn, who wasn't even drinking, to NOT have a hangover?" Santana asked Noelle.
"I'll never tell," Noelle grinned as she whistled innocently and walked the tote of books into the kitchen. The others looked at Josh, who raised his hands up in defense.
"Don't look at me, I was putting double shots in her drinks," Josh replied.
