A/N: I know it's not your fault that you have to sleep and all, but nobody said anything and Claire and I were bored, so we took the matter into our own hands and we decided that yes, we would cut it up into little moments. So some of the next few might make very little sense, but we're working on it.

So this is...just read :)

"This is it." Blaine whispered, looking out among the crowd of parents, their teachers and their entire grade.

Kurt bit his lower lip, because hell, this really was it. The last chance New Directions would perform. This was graduation.

Hey old friend let's look back, on the crazy clothes we wore...
Ain't it fun to look back, and see it's all been done before!

So much had happened since Kurt joined Glee Club, three years ago.

He'd come out.
He'd been bullied to the point of death threats.
He'd run.
He'd returned.

All those nights together, are a special memory
And I can't wait for tomorrow, just as long as you're dancing next to me

He grinned at Blaine next to him.

Most importantly, Kurt had found someone - someone who cared just as much, and who understood him.

'Cause it's so clear, every year, we get stronger
What's gone is gone, the past is the past
Turn the radio up, and then hit the gas.

Kurt wasn't worried. He had faith that he'd be with Blaine forever.

He glanced at his friends - the New Directions - those who had been with him at his darkest times.

He wasn't so sure they'd always be in contact.

'Cause . . .
I know we've come so far, but we've got so far to go
I know the road seems long, but it won't be long 'till it's time to go

Rachel was crying behind him, Tina was tearing up beside him.

Kurt swallowed a lump in his throat. There was one last party tonight.

One last get together before everyone left to their respective futures.

So, most days we'll take it fast and some nights lets we'll it slow
I know we've come so far, but baby, baby...
We've Got So Far to Go

^.^

"I hope we're not late…" Kurt muttered and Blaine laughed.

"Their ceremony doesn't start until four."

"Yeah, but I promised Nick I'd help him find something to wear tonight, for afterwards."

Blaine raised an eyebrow, his eyes trained on the road.

"He's surprising Jeff and taking him out for a special dinner."

Blaine grinned. "That's sweet of him."

Kurt grinned, putting his hand on Blaine's thigh, stroking his leg through the fabric as he fiddled with the iPod. He set it on their favourite playlist and sang to each other, preparing themselves for another round of tears and goodbyes. Blaine had really found himself with the guys at Dalton – they taught him to love himself and brought him out of the shell that his father had kicked him into.

He had a lot to owe to them, and leaving them for McKinley was one of the hardest things he'd ever done. Being there for their graduation was the least he could do.

An hour and a half later, they pulled up at Dalton and checked into the office as visitors.

They walked through the familiar halls, getting greetings from those who recognised them. They finally reached 'Warbler Dorms', which had been unofficially labelled as such at the beginning of the year, when the Warblers all commandeered the top level of the building closest to their rehearsal building.

"Blaine! Kurt!" they'd only barely stepped in before both boys were enveloped in a group hug.

"Guys! God I've missed you." Blaine grinned.

"You're just in time!" Jeff grinned. "Wes will be here soon too – apparently he got a girlfriend while he was doing his gap year."

"Didn't he havea girlfriend?" Kurt asked.

"When he graduated last year, they broke up." Nick informed him, pulling both Kurt and Blaine onto the couch.

Thad and David emerged from upstairs. "Kurt! Blaine! Long-time no see guys…"

Kurt and Blaine were on their feet again, hugging the older boys – men – that looked so much older, even if they were only a year apart.

David had his arm around a woman – Zoey - Kurt recognised her as one of the girls from Crawford County Day – the girlfriend he had since he was a freshman. He and her had become quite close as friends.

"You guys are still together?" Kurt gushed with a wide grin, and David grinned.

"Married too."

Blaine's eyes widened. "Oh my god, really?"

Zoey nodded and gave David a small smile. "We also have a special announcement…when Wes gets here."

"I have impeccable timing then." Wes grinned, shutting the door behind a small, young Japanese girl.

There was another round of greetings and introductions – the young girl was Kimiko – a seventeen year old who had graduated early and wasn't exactlyWes' girlfriend. Their parents had forced them to spend time together in hopes they might find a fondness for each other. She didn't speak much, barely responding to anything anyone said. They figured she just must not speak much English.

"Okay, take the floor Zoey." Wes grinned when they all settled down again.

She took David's hand and grinned at the small crowd that had formed. "I'm pregnant."

Kurt let out a small shriek, rushing forward and hugging her. "Congratulations!"

The other guys were patting David on the back, and he regarded them with a sheepish smile.

"You got in quick." Wes muttered and David chuckled, shaking his head slightly.

"How far along?" Kurt asked.

"Four months." She grinned and Kurt's eyes widened, wondering how he hadn't noticed.

Looking down at her stomach, he realised why. She was wearing loose clothing – subtly drawing away from the bulge. Kurt giggled again.

"That's so sweet. Congratulations again!"

Zoey grinned and hugged Kurt again.

"Alright, alright!" Jesse Martin called, clapping his hands loudly. "It's great that we've got visitors, but the Warblers need to practise – we don't want to ruin the performance for you guys later."

Jesse Martin had become the lead of the council – along with Nick and Jeff. The three of them had been elected by Wes, Thad and David the night of their own graduation. In turn, Nick, Jeff and Jesse had conversed and debated about which juniors would hold the title next year.

"You guys can mill around the school, but you'll need to stay away from Warbler Hall." Jeff grinned, and they nodded. "We'll see you-"

There was a sharp bang from behind them, and they whirled around to find Wes with the gavel in his hand. "Sorry…just…old memories, you know…"

A loud laugh erupted from David and Thad, which quickly travelled around the room.

"Anyway. Get out." Nick clarified with a laugh, ushering the ex-Warblers out.

As they walked, Kurt found himself next to Kimiko.

"Hi!" he grinned, and she shot him a wide-eyed look, bowing her head.

Kurt bit his lip. "Can you speak English?"

She was silent, eyes trained on the ground. Kurt smirked. "You have to speak some English. You'd be hanging around Wes…it's hard not to strike up a conversation."

Kurt saw the faintest glimmer of a smile, and he laughed happily. "See! You understand!"

She smiled a little. "Being able to understand, doesn't mean I can speak it as well." she spoke in a soft, small voice, but she was very fluent.

Kurt grinned victoriously. "I know. But it got you to speak, didn't it?"

She scowled playfully, and Kurt immediately was drawn to her. "It's not that I don't like speaking. Some people are just ridiculously stupid and it's painful to talk to them."

Kurt laughed loudly as Wes walked over. "I see you got the dragon out of her cave then?" he grinned. "Took me weeks to get her to speak to me."

"Dragon?" she inquired. "I prefer kitty-cat." She placed her curved hands to the top of her head, mimicking cat ears. "Miaow."

Kurt grinned. Regardless of the fact that she graduated early and at the top of her class, she was still a little girl inside.

"That's cute." he told her, giggling as she pretended to swipe at him, hissing and grinning happily.

"I like it here." she told him quietly, her gaze following Wes as he went to chat to Blaine.

Kurt grinned. "Yeah…it's a good place to be." They entered the commons, where other guests were staring to arrive – most of them parents. "What do you think of Wes."

Kimiko gave him a small smile. "He's one of the ridiculously stupid. But he's grown on me…I think."

"Do you think you'll end up getting married?"

Kimiko nodded with a small, resigned sigh. "Both our parents want it. What choice do we have?"

Kurt frowned. "Every choice in the world. Choices are just about the only thing we ever have control over. Without choice, we're puppets."

"You forget Kurt, that I'm only seventeen. My parents still own me." She smiled slightly. "And it's not as if I'd be unhappy with Wes. He's super nice, and we have a lot in common." She sighed again. "It's just the fact that we got forced together…rushed into it and all. If we had time, everything would be fine."

Kurt nodded, only half understanding.

"Do you think you'll marry Blaine?"

Kurt blinked a couple of times, before glancing at the ground. "It's not legal…so…probably not."

Kimiko smiled kindly. "Do you want to?"

Kurt looked over at his boyfriend – a grin plastered on his face, re-enacting something for Wes and David, his eyes alight with joy.

"Yeah. I really do."

"Well just wait a few years. Maybe something will happen." She smiled.

^.^

As the day wore on, Kurt found and talked to the parents of the Warblers he had come to know over the brief time he was at Dalton. Blaine mostly followed him around patiently, excusing himself every now and then as he went to talk to someone he recognised.

Finally, the graduation ceremony was ready to begin, and everyone took their seats. Kurt and Blaine sat with Wes and Kimiko, with David on Zoey on their other side

The lights dimmed, and the a cappella vocals to the first bar of 'Seasons of Love' from Rent started. Overlayed, the main vocals for 'Friends Forever' started.

As we go on, we remember.

All the times we've, had together.

And as our lives change, come whatever

We will still be, friends forever

In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights in cups of coffee

In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife

In, five hundred, twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes,

How do you measure, a year in the life?

The song continued with overlapping vocals from both songs, until the last note rang out over the crowd of people. The Warblers received a standing ovation, and it wasn't until a good three minutes later that the headmaster stood at the podium to calm the crowd.

"I'd like to thank you all for joining us for this graduation ceremony. They were the Warblers – our a cappella show choir, performing a mash-up of 'Seasons of Love' and 'Friends Forever'. Now, please join me in welcoming…"

The ceremony dragged on – each student receiving a certificate and numerous awards for their extra-curriculum activities, until the headmaster dismissed them

"Oh my god…" Kurt whispered, biting his lower lip to keep from tearing up.

"Hey, what's the matter?" Blaine put his arm around Kurt with a small, sad smile. "You didn't even get this upset when we left the New Directions..."

"That's because I knew they I'd see most of them again. I don't know what half of these guys are doing when they leave, and you all did so much for me…"

Blaine smiled and wrapped his other arm around Kurt in a bear hug.

"We'll keep tabs, I promise."

^.^

The three couples waited outside the building as the Warblers accepted their families congratulations. Kurt watched as a little blonde girl threw herself into Jeff's arms, smiling slightly as she then leant away from him to hug Nick. They spoke to Jeff's parents for a little while before excusing themselves, the girl in Jeff's arms chattering away happily the whole time.

"Hey guys! This is my baby sister-"

"I'm not a baby!" she protested, pouting. Jeff shushed her, kissing her cheek.

"This is my little sister Katelyn." He corrected himself. "Katelyn, this is Kurt and Blaine." Jeff introduced with a smile as Nick wrapped his arm around his waist.

Their parents smiled at them from where they stood together, chatting quietly.

"Katie-cakes, it's time to go." Jeff's parents called from the doorway, standing with Nick's parents.

"Noo!" she cried, tightly attaching herself to Jeff's neck. "I wanna stay with Jeffity-Jeff."

Jeff chuckled, prying the four year olds tiny arms from his neck. "It's okay Katie-bear. I'll come home after the party next week!"

Katelyn pouted, but allowed her mother to take her. "Bye Jeff-Jeff. Bye Nicky." She then waved at Kurt and Blaine, already having forgotten their names.

Kurt and Blaine waved back with fond smiles.

"She's lovely." Kurt grinned, and Jeff nodded, watching them go with a small wave.

"Ahh, we better head off." David announced, his arm around Zoey. "The wife has started getting tired lately."

Zoey chuckled and poked David. "It's not that. I just can't drink, and being around you guys drunk doesn't seem like a fun idea."

"Not that'd we'd be drinking or anything." Jeff said seedily, his eyes shifting comically from side to side. "Being underage and all."

Nick coughed. "No, of course not."

They all chuckled and headed to the carpark, waving David and Zoey off. "We'll see you guys when we see you then. Don't be a stranger!"

"Bye David!"

Wes laughed. "So…who's room are we comandeering? I call after-party. Now." He mimed slamming his gavel on Kimiko's head, which brought up a couple of laughs.

"Jeff." Nick said softly, and he turned, grinning at Nick.

"Yeah?"

Kurt noticed them moving to the side, grinning secretly to himself. He nudged Blaine and the two of them headed off to join Wes.

"Instead of an after-party…do you want to join me and go out for a proper dinner?" Nick asked with a shy smile. "Then we can join them later."

Jeff's eyes lit up with a grin and he nodded. "Of course!"

"Kurt! Blaine!" Jeff called, and the two boys appeared at the landing of the stairs.

"Yes?"

"Kurt, we need you to approve outfit choices." Jeff notified them, and Kurt clapped his hands giddily. "Blaine…you can…uhm…be Blaine?"

"You're horrible to me, you know that?" Blaine chuckled, not really taking offense.

Jeff just grinned and nodded, heading upstairs with Nick and Kurt on his heels.

^.^

"What do you think?"

Kurt nodded appreciatively as Jeff turned slowly, fixing his blue tie in the mirror. "Perfect."

Blaine nodded. "Looks good man!"

Jeff chuckled and headed outside of his room with Kurt and Blaine, finding Nick leaning against the banister. His suit was almost identical, except for his red tie.

"You guys look so cute!" Wes called in a horribly high-pitched voice' from Jesse and Trent's shared room. His voice returned to normal pitch. "That's what Kimi would've said."

There was an awkward silence and then a thump as Kimiko smacked Wes. Kurt just laughed and followed Jeff and Nick down the stairs, grinning at Blaine.

"Now you crazy kids be home by eleven." Blaine ordered with a stern face.

"No drinking, don't talk to strangers…did you boys want any money?" Kurt asked in an equally condescending voice.

Nick just shook his head with a grin.

"We'll see you when we get back. Thanks guys."

A/N: So...I guess the main thing about these next ones is that they'll all feature our OC's - Kimiko, Katelyn and Zoey - and that they'll be cute moments IN the chapter, rather than at the end or something.
