Epilogue
After Mercedes blew up on the whole glee club everybody apologized except for Rachel, Kurt, and Mr. Schu even though Rachel and Kurt stopped talking about her behind her back it doesn't mean that they were friends again. Mr. Schu kicked Mercedes out of the New Directions for calling all of them out, including him, on their bull shit. So in return Mercedes told sue. Sue never really hated glee club she just hated Will. That point alone got Sue to help her. She called one Shelby Corcran and assembled another glee club called the Trouble Tones. It was easy for the other ND Cheerios to choose which glee was the best for them. Of course Puck joined on the spot because he wanted to support his girlfriend and stand behind her in booty camp while she stretched her legs and touched her toes. Hey, his girlfriend was hot, can you blame him?
Everybody else joined the trouble tones except for: Kurt, Blain, and Rachel. Everybody was sorry for how they treated Mercedes and she forgave all of them. Yeah, even the other two that shall not be named. Mr. Schu decided he didn't like Mercedes and Sue taking all of his students and took it to Figgans. He decided the glee club to win sectionals is the one that gets to stay the other one will be disbanded. If the disbanded team was the ND then the Cheerios get their full salary back but if the TT get disbanded then all of their members have to rejoin the ND. That made Sue work even harder because it was a win, win for her, she finally got to ruin the ND and Will Schuster, and she got her full salary back. You see the TT have sponsors, just as long as they bought a certain type of hairspray and headbands or certain labeled ties and vest they had all the money they needed and they had Shelby to thank for that hook up. They were asked who wanted to do what in sectionals, they actually got asked instead of somebody just being chosen. They had try outs for the solo and duet part of sectionals and they pickes the songs for the group to sing, running them by Shelby first of corse. They got to pick what songs they wanted to do, if they wanted to do a mash-up or not. They were in control and that's what they liked. Since they were in control the kids picked a theme to base all of their songs off of. They picked something that they all have in common, the 90's. Let's just say the better club won and Sue got her cannons back.
The Trouble Tones went on to win nationals Mercedes junior and senior year. Mercedes was valadictorian and Mike and surpisingly Finn were tied for salutatorian. Turns out that without Rachel demanding every second of his attention he could finally focus on school and football. He even helped out his new glee club by teaching the drummer new rhythms. Everybody split up for collage. Well every one except Puck and Mercedes they moved to Athens, Georgia and attended UGA. Puck had majored in Management / International Business so he could be a music manager and Pre-law as a back up plan. Puck also played for the Georgia Bulldogs as their starting running backer. Mercedes majored in music performance and Pre-med as a back up plan. Mercedes also was a Georgia Bulldog Cheerleader. Even though they were sure they were gonna make it big they carried out their back- up plans so now Mercedes was a pediatrican and Puck was a entertainment lawyer. One night they were at a Beyonce concert and she let Mercedes sing a line from irreplaceable and was amazed by what she heard. Beyonce wanted to meet her backstage after the show. Bey wanted Mercedes to sing for her without the loud music and shouting. She was hook on Mercedes voice after she belted out Aretha Franklin's song Chain, Chain, Chain. From then Beyonce took Mercedes under her wing preparing her to be the next big star stating " People are going to need a voice like yours when I'm old and gray"
TEN YEARS LATER…
Mercedes Puckerman, world famous singer/ fashion designer/ actress,was standing in a trailer in Lima, Ohio with nothing on but a blue and black lace bra and panty set, taking in how much she changed over the years. She was smaller in high school even though she didn't look like it she weighed 275 pounds. She has lost a total of 150 she lost her tummy and some of her thighs but her boobs and butt stayed the same size. She learned that she was an emotional eater, she would eat when there was no one to talk to. She would eat ice cream when she was bored or sad, but when she was happy she would want to go out and spend time with her friends and tell them why she was happy. She also learnt that she loved salads, her favorite salad was the fried Cobb salad from Zaxbys. Plus being a huge international star includes hours and hours in the studio and dance practice, and movie and tv scripts to learn and memorize sometimes she ONLY HAD time for salad. Her hair changed too, she stopped wearing weave and started wearing her real hair. Her hair was silky and wavy, it almost touched her only way she dyes her hair is with hair chalk and right now her ends were purple.
While thinking about her transformation she started to think about her friends and how far they had come from being slushied and thrown in dumpsters or throwing slushies and people in dumpsters. Now Puck was the number one draft pick for the Atlanta Falcons. Santana was Mercedes manager and Brittany, Santana's wife,was the choreographer and back-up dancer along with Mike. Finn was Pucks agent ,he even owned a very successful sports agency. " Babe what are you doing you have to get ready this is you last song then we need to head on over to the hotel" Noah puckerman had changed so much his mow-hawk was gone. His face was more chiseled and so was his body. He was more mature and he had his priorities a in check. First god then family then work and that's what they lived by. They got to see Beth every month she would have girls day out with Quinn and Mercedes or as she would say " momma Q and momma Mercy" and then she would have daddy daughter day out with Finn and puck or " papa Finn and daddy Puck" Mercedes would even take her with her to pick out the costumes for her concert and photo shoots.
"I don't know what to wear" Mercedes bit her lip with worry
" Wear one of my favorites. Here. " he handed her this very sexy leotard top with a scoop neckline, short sleeves, sheer mesh front, leather trim.
" Ok fine " she put on sheer tights and take off her bra, then she puts on the leotard with red high waisted leather shorts and black silver spiked combat boots.
" How do I look now? "
" You want the appropriate answer or my answer" said puck looking her up and down
" Lord Jesus please don't let me regret this later… both" she winced and took a deep breath
" Well appropriate would be you look amazing, my answer would be momma you look hella fine and I will lock us in this room to show you how sexy I think you look." he growled in her ear as he backed them towards the couch
" No sir I have one more song left then we have a glee club reunion to get to then after that we have a privet beach house with our name on it in Malibu for two months. No holds bar" she winked as she left the room
" That woman is gonna be the death of me" Puck mutters to his self as he leaves the dressing room
"Ok Lima you guys have been awesome tonight now I have one more some if that's ok with you guys" Mercedes yelled into the microphone and got nothing but cheering back
"Okay I wrote this song when I first got signed if you know it sing along" Mercedes looked down to the front row and saw her fellow Trouble Tones cheering for her and standing by them were Rachel Berry, Kurt Hummel, Blain Anderson, and Will Shuster staring at her like they just could not believe that they were at HER concert. Mercedes was just soaking up the mixture of love and hate from the crowd and it gave her the burst of energy that she needed for this song.
Mummy they called me names
They wouldn't let me play
I'd run home, sit and cry almost everyday
"Hey Mercedes , you look like an alien
With green skin you don't fit in this playpen"
Oh they pulled my hair
They took away my chair
I'd keep it in and pretend that I didn't care
"Hey Mercedes, you're so funny
You've got teeth just like Bugs Bunny"
Oh, so you think you know me now
Have you forgotten how
You would make me feel
When you dragged my spirit down?
But thank you for the pain
It made me raise my game
And I'm still rising, I'm still rising
Yeah Yeah
So make your jokes
Go for broke
Blow your smoke
You're not alone

"Oh Mercy, we knew you could make it
I've got a track and I'd love you to take it"
So now because I'm signed
You think my pockets lined
Four years now and I'm still waiting in the line
"Oh Mercy, I saw you on YouTube
I tagged old photos from when we was at school"
Oh, so you think you know me now
Have you forgotten how
You would make me feel
When you dragged my spirit down?
But thank you for the pain
It made me raise my game
And I'm still rising, I'm still rising

"Hola, I'm proud of you"
"Oh my God babe your voice is like wow!"

" Thank you Lima you guys have been awesome! Goodnight drive safely!" She left the stage as the crowd chanted "Mercy! Mercy!"
"Babe you did phenomenal as normal, ok now we have to go" said Puck as he wrapped his arms around her and gave her a big kiss. They went to the trailer to shower and change. Puck wore a black button up dress shirt with dark jeans and black dress shoes. He also had on a necklace that looked like it had the big half of a flaming heart and it said "mercy's badass" in cursive as well as his wedding ring that was engraved "her badass" on the outside with a small red diamond at the end. Mercedes had on a White Satin and Purple Lace Corset that was from her fashion called "Aimer La Mode" which is basically love fashion in French. With white skinny jeans and White Lace Glitter Almonds Hidden Platform Spiky Heel Pumps all finished off with her favorite purple leather jacket. She kept the jewelry simple to accent her purple diamond wedding rings that were engraved "his diva" on the outside in cursive with a big purple diamond in the middle. She had purple glitter hoop earrings and her necklace that Puck gave her on their one year dating anniversary it was a smaller flaming heart and it said "Puck's diva"
They arrived at the hotels ballroom 30 mins later and was instantly tackled by Tina Chang in a bone crushing hug. "OMG Mercy you sounded great tonight. I loved it"
"Tina you look fabulous and I love your new shoe line as you can tell" Mercedes said as she stuck out her foot. Tina Chang was a well known fashion designer as well as a mom of two.
"Mercy! You were awesome" Quinn Hudson was a entertainment lawyer to the stars as well as a mom of three.
"Thanks Quinnie you look great"
"Aye what it is boo"
"Cedes I love the shoes"
"What's up Artie and thanks kitty kat Tina designed them"Artie was a director and his wife Kitty was the cheerleading coach for the Dallas cowboys.
" Omg I missed you so much mercy" said a stunning Marly who was now a actress and a model, she has graced the cover of magazines such as Vogue, Elle, Rolling Stone, OK and more. She has stared in nothing but box office hits. She has won teen choice awards, kids choice awards, people choice awards, Grammys, Moonmen and many more, her husband Ryder was the physical trainer for the New York Nets he also has small parts in movies and has owned his fair share of awards. Marley and Jake never got back together because he cheated on her AGAIN after she took him back the first time and this time Bree really did get pregnant.
" Hey brother in law" Mercedes said to Jake who was now a dance teacher at Juliard and Bree Puckerman was a pre school teacher.
" Hey Evans" On one of their trips home on break from school Mercedes introduced Sam to her cousin, Amber Riley, from Georgia and they hit it off right away. Sam finally got a chance to put his impressions and acting to use. He is now a Hollywood a- list actor and his wife Amber Evans was a plus size model as well as a actress, they even stared in a few movies together and they were box office hits just like the rest of their solo movies.
Mercedes glanced at the bar where Rachel,Kurt, Blain, Sue, Shelby, and Will was seated,smiled and waved. Even though they still were not on speaking terms with each other, Mercedes still kept tabs on Rachel, Blain and Kurt. Apparently Rachel has stared in Wicked and Funny Girl on Broadway and has won two Tony's for her roles. She has even had cameos and small parts in a couple of movies. It has been harder and harder for Rachel to get roles because she has been labeled as arrogant and hard to work with. She is married to the one and only Jesse with a baby on the way. Kurt is also a fashion designer but he is only known on the east coast. Blain is a doctor at New York Medical. Everybody waved back except for one Rachel Berry.
"Hey Rachel congrats on your Tony award" smiled Mercedes
" Hello Mercedes you look well rested" Rachel chided with the fakest smile known to man, Mercedes raised her perfectly plucked eyebrow Oh no she didn't
" Why thank you but you look like you could use some of my well rest judging by those bags and crows feet" Mercedes snarled sweetly with a smile
"Why I never" Rachel stormed off
"And you never will" Mercedes muttered
"OKay everybody we have an announcement" Puck yelled as he stood in front of the room besides Mercedes
" Your getting a divorce" Rachel asked too happily
" No we are not but Rachel quick question where is YOUR husband?" Puck asked but never got a response
"We're pregnant" Mercedes and Puck said in unison as everybody cheered
"it's twins" they cheered even louder soon everybody came down from their excitement and soon everybody was dancing and having is until somebody interrupted the music with a very perky and annoying voice "Welcome New Directions to the 10th reunion"
"Um excuse me but we are the Trouble Tones not the New Directions" Quinn yelled out
"Whatever any way I have realize that a certain somebody and I never got our diva off before she got brutally kicked out..."
"First of all you can say my name even though you probably can't afford to and I quit right after I told all of y'all that your shit does in fact stink but what ever if you want a diva off you will get a diva off. No songs from your shows"
"Fine then you can't sing any of that trash you call music" Rachel snarled evily
"Oh you mean the trash that lets me do a clean sweep every time im at an award show like... I don't know say the Grammys. I have bout twenty of them things while the only awards you have are two Tony's you won five years ago and hasn't since then" Mercedes smiled
"Shelby, Will, and Sue will be the judges" Rachel replied
"Okay the one with the least amount of awards sings first" said Mercedes
"Fine" huffed Rachel
Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you,
That is how I know you go on
Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go till we're gone
Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold to
In my life we'll always go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
You're here, there's nothing I fear,
And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
Rachel bowed, turned her nose up, flipped her hair then sat down at the bar waiting for Mercedes " Okay she wants to play it that way I got the perfect song"
I wish I could believe you then I'll be alright
But now everything you told me really don't apply
To the way I feel inside
Loving you was easy once upon a time
But now my suspicions of you have multiplied
And it's all because you lied
[Chorus:]
I only give you a hard time
'Cause I can't go on and pretend like
I haven't tried to forget this
But I'm much too full of resentment
Just can't seem to get over the way you hurt me
Don't know how you gave another who didn't mean a thing, no
The very thing you gave to me
I thought I could forgive you and I know you've changed
As much as I wanna trust you I know it ain't the same
And it's all because you lied
[Chorus:]
I only give you a hard time
'Cause I can't go on and pretend like
I haven't tried to forget this
But I'm much too full of resentment
I may never understand why
I'm doing the best that I can and I
I tried and I tried to forget this
I'm much too full of resentment
I'll always remember feeling like I was no good
Like I couldn't do it for you like that whack bitch could
And it's all because you lied
[Bridge:]
Loved you more than ever
More than my own life
The best part of me I gave you
It was sacrificed
And it's all because you lied
[Chorus:]
I only give you a hard time
'Cause I can't go on and pretend like
I tried and I tried to forget this
But I'm too damn full of resentment
I know she was attractive but I was here first
Been ridin' with you for six years why did I deserve
To be treated this way by you, you
I know your probably thinking what's up with me
I been crying for too long what did you do to me
I used to be so strong but now you took my soul
I'm crying can't stop crying can't stop crying
You could've told me that you wasn't happy
I know you didn't wanna hurt me
But look what you've done-done to me now
I gotta look at her in her eyes and see she's had half of me
How could you lie
"Okay let's vote now shall we Will..."
"Okay I choose... Rachel"
"Are you fucking kidding me! I have a goddamn Kennedy Center Honor , the highest cultural honor possible, from the fucking President of the United States no less and you still choose Rachel ' I think I can atleast screech to the top of my fucking lungs while going out of key every two lines of lyrics' Berry. This shit right here is the fucking reason I cut you out. I have won more than ten of each of those awards that I named in that choir room that day and more I started two charities for bullied children and challenged children. My mentor is Beyonce fucking Knowles. What more do you fucking want Will. Are you racist. Is it the way I talk. Is it the way I carry my self. Is it my voice. Is it... Well WAS it my size that gets to you. You know what this shit right here is why Emma is somewhere on the beach with her toes in the sand getting over her OCD with her husband ,Carl, and you are here wondering why the fuck are you alone. You know what I'm officially done I have tried to be nice in all of my interviews about the remaining NDs but you know what Fuck that shit I'm telling the fucking truth. With that being said I will see all of the Trouble Tones at our machion in Atlanta for the holidays. I love you all never forget that ok but I can't take the stress it's not good for the babys. Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight. I love y'all. Deuces moth'a fuck'as. Come on baby let's go."
On May 12th 2024 the twins were born at 5:13 AM Noah James Puckerman Jr Was welcomed into the world then at 5:16 AM comes his little sister Nola Jamie Puckerman right after him. They were the cutest babies ever. They had caramel colored skin, light brown curls, chubby cheeks and when they laughed you could see their dimples, Noah had almond shaped eyes while Nola had big doe eyes, their birth certificate said that they had green eyes. Long story short they were just Mercedes and Puck but smaller. Quinn and Finn were Noah Jr's god parents and Santana and Brittany were Nola's god parents. The trouble tones were aunties and uncles yet again. Mercedes was truly happy, she was through with all of the drama finally she wasn't tired anymore.
