AN: Just a little season 3 graduation fun! Hope you enjoy!

Prompt: The Second Doctor - "We are all just stories in the end." - 'Doctor Who'

The buzz of voices filled the gymnasium as I gathered with my classmates before our graduation ceremony. We still had twenty minutes before the ceremony, and the buzz kept increasing as more seniors showed up. However I realized that one familiar face was missing from my gathered group of friends, and I had a feeling that I knew where he had gotten to.

"I'll be back," I told Mercedes, as I extracted my arm from hers.

"Just watch the time," she reminded me.

I nodded as I left the gymnasium and headed out to the football field. As soon as the field was in sight I spotted the familiar lanky form of my stepbrother standing on the sidelines.

"You know you're mother is going to be upset if you spend your graduation ceremony out here," I commented lightly as I came to a stop beside him.

"I just wanted to see it one more time."

"I guess there are quite a few memories out here for you," I commented, looking around the field. Truth be told, I had a couple of fond memories that had been made here during my short stint on the football team as well.

"Yeah, there are, though it's sad that this is the only field I'll be able to create memories on."

Reaching out, I rested my arm across his shoulders. "You led us to two state championships, Finn, the first two in the school's history. That's no small feat."

"But it didn't get me anywhere except for a story to be told amongst other students. That's what these last four years have amounted to - we're all just stories in the end."

"True, but the thing about stories is they can always be continued. I may not know what I'm doing after not getting into NYADA but I'm looking forward to that journey of discovery. So what do you say we go close the book on our lives here at McKinley."

I saw Finn nod as he continued to look out across the field.

"You want to know what my favorite memory on this field is, though."

"Winning that first championship game," I guessed.

"That was pretty sweet, but no. My favorite memory is watching you kick the ball through those goal post during your tryout during our sophomore year. That was pretty awesome."

I smiled as I followed his gaze toward the goal posts. That moment had felt pretty good, what with doing something that no one thought I could do.

"Let's go before we're late for our own graduation," I said, breaking the silence.

Finn fell in step beside me as we headed back to the school, his arm coming to rest across my shoulders before too long. Finn was right, we were all stories but like reading a book for the first time, you never knew where you were going to end up in the end.
