Glee Club, is of course, indefinitely postponed. This is the first thing Rachel Berry checks on as she enters McKinley high school for the first day of her Junior year. That was two months ago...two months ago and still nothing! It's not that she's selfish. She really, honesty cares about poor Mr. Schuester and Quinn. She stopped by Quinn's house a few times with Mercedes and Kurt to drop off cookies and flowers. Quinn wasn't up to talking much but she seemed happy to have her Glee friends drop by. She also brought "I'm sorry" cookies, casseroles, and the occasional freshly baked apple pie to Mr. Schuester's house. He never answered the door though so she and Kurt began taking turns leaving their treats outside his front door in disposable containers. No, she's not selfish, but she has her own future to think about as well. She tried to broach this subject with Finn a few days ago but, he wasn't having it. In fact, he looked at her as if she had three snarling Medusa heads and then walked away. He walked away and hasn't returned her calls since.

The nerve.

So when she sees Quinn walk through the doors of the school one Friday morning, the level of excitement that pushes down into her stomach and out through her lungs and causes her to let out a shrill 'eep' that startles Kurt into doing the same can really be excused. Quinn looks great and that must mean that she's doing okay...and Glee Club will be coming back. Mr. Schuester's return must not be far behind and then their little singing family will be reunited and there will be musicals and show tunes and solos! Solos!

Quinn walks by and smiles slightly at them. Kurt glances at her and then double takes, finally realizing who it is and what the fuss is about. He drops his books to the floor and runs the few feet to catch up to her and pull her into a giant hug. She smiles brightly but Rachel can't help but notice that it doesn't really reach her eyes as it should. Kurt retrieves his books and then links arms with Quinn, "Mercedes is just going to flip when she sees your gorgeous face."

"I've missed her." Quinn answers quietly. She's missed them all really.

"Are you back permanently?" Kurt leads the way down the hallway towards where he knows their Diva friend will be. Rachel watches them leave. The look on Quinn's face triggers a little voice in her head that says 'Maybe I was wrong about Glee Club starting soon' but she stomps the voice down as she heads in the other direction towards her class..

"No. I'm starting today on a half schedule. I'll be here Monday, Wednesday, and Friday until I get back in the swing of things. The school provided me with a tutor so I can do catch up on Tuesdays and Thursdays."

She glances around nervously and hangs on tightly to Kurt's solid arm linked into her own. "I...Mercedes!"

Mercedes turns around just in time to catch Quinn and return her hug."Oh my God, girl, why didn't you tell me that you were coming back today?!"

"I wanted it to be a surprise." Quinn smiles as they separate, "I'm only here for part of the day today and I actually wanted to have a little meeting with Coach Sylvester before class, but I wanted to see you guys first."

"Damn right you did, girl!" Mercedes links her right arm with Quinn and her left with Kurt, "We'll walk you down to Coach Sylvester's office. Mrs. Krill won't mind if we're late for Calculus."

"Thanks, guys. So...how is everyone? Puck? Finn?"

"Gossip? My favorite." Kurt skips a little at the thought of chatting up the sorted lives of their fellow Glee Clubbers, "Well, Tina and Mike Chang are an Asian thing now. Surprised, right? Artie is a little crushed over it though. Puck has been moping around getting into fist fights with the puck heads on the hockey team. So hasn't Santana actually. Finn, well, he and Rachel are on the outs right now...that girl is truly crazy, sometimes. Hmm...everyone is going to be thrilled to see you! We need to get together and do lunch or something!"

"I'd like that," Quinn smiles as they reach Sue Sylvester's door, "Call me later?"

"Girl, try and stop us!" Mercedes hugs her again before she had Kurt head to class. Quinn takes a deep breath and then knocks quietly on the office door.

"Enter!"

"Coach Sylvester?" Quinn pokes her head through the door just as the cheer leading coach looks up. A look of surprise crosses her face for a moment before she stands up to greet her student.

"Hey, Q, how are you feeling? I didn't realize you were coming back today." She sits on the edge of her desk and leans back to regard the former head cheerleader.

"Yeah, I wanted to talk to you before I started classes. Is that okay or...?"

"It's fine. How can I help you?"

"Well...um..." She starts but then changes her mind and begins a new question, "Is Mr. Schuester back yet? He won't return my calls and..."

Sue sighs and cuts her off, "He's not, Q. Actually, I've tried calling him too but nothing. Figgins said he's receiving disability insurance until at least November. I don't know when he's coming back."

She nods, a faraway look in her eye, before she continues, "Well, really, I just wanted to know if maybe you'd consider allowing me back on the Cheerios. I need something to focus on and..."

"You know when practice is held. Show up and I'll give you a spot."

Quinn smiles, stands, and gives Sue a slight hug, "Thanks, Coach. I have to get to class but I'll see you at practice."

Sue watches her as she leaves the office. She knows that the only thing that is going to help Quinn in her recovery is a return to normalcy. It's time to pay a visit to one William Schuester.
