GLEE BELONGS TO FOX

"Good evening former McKinley students." Mr Figgins approached the microphone and cleared his throat to draw everyone's attention. "A brief note prior to the beginning of our festivities. Although you are all of legal age now, please refrain from spiking the punch. McKinley does not have a liquor licence, and we do not want a repeat of last year's reunion." Mr Figgins shuddered. "Thank you, and now I'd like to introduce your graduating class valedictorian of…"

Finn had stopped listening. Where was Rachel? More importantly, where the hell was Quinn? He prayed that the two women hadn't crossed paths yet. McKinley wasn't prepared for the bloodbath that Quinn had planned for Ms. Rachel "Broadway" Berry, that was for sure. Finn shook his head, and took a deep breath. Puck probably was wrong anyways. No one but Kurt and Blaine had seen Rachel in at least five years, probably more. Puck must have been hallucinating or something. Finn smiled. Yeah, that's it, Puck was hallucinating.

"And now, as a special treat, I'd like to introduce one of McKinley High's brightest stars." Mr Schuester had taken the microphone now. "Taking a brief break from starring in the Broadway revival of Les Mis, here is our very own Rachel Berry-Weston!"

That dream didn't last long. To his (and Quinn's) dismay, the one person he didn't want to see tonight was striding across the stage, kissing Mr Schuester on both cheeks. Finn's jaw dropped. She wasn't the little girl in the animal sweaters anymore. She was…

"Smokin'!" Puck came up behind Finn and clapped him on the shoulder. "Dude! Can you believe it, we banged the hottest girl on Broadway before she was famous!" He laughed, and took a swig from his flask. "We're totally gonna be on one of those MTV shows now!"

Finn was barely listening. He was intently focused on Rachel. Specifically, the rock sparkling on her left hand. "So she's married…" he mused, not realizing he was speaking out loud.

"Yeah, some guy she met at Tisch, apparently. Brody Weston. He was a dancer, but some injury took him out of the industry. Now he directs all of the musicals she's in."

Finn looked at Puck in disbelief. "How the hell do you know that?"

Puck shrugged. "Somebody had to keep an eye on her."

Problem was, Finn couldn't keep his eyes off of her.

"Kurt darling!" After her speech, Rachel rushed up to her former roommate and kissed him on the cheek. "How are you? Where's Blaine? God, I haven't seen you two in ages!"

Kurt laughed and hugged the little ball of energy that was his best friend. "Rachel, it's been maybe a month!" He held her hands and looked at her with concern. "More importantly, how are you? My troll of an older brother hasn't accosted you yet, has he?"

Rachel laughed gaily. "Goodness no! I did see Quinn though, and if my intuition is correct, she wants to kill me." Kurt smiled weakly, and gestured to an icy blonde woman standing behind Rachel.

"Whatever would give you that idea?" Quinn smiled frostily, and approached Rachel. To her (and Kurt's) surprise, she pecked Rachel on each cheek. "Congratulations on all of your successes! Don't tell my husband, but I went to see you as Velma in Chicago, absolutely inspiring."

"Well, thank you." Rachel proceeded with caution. Dealing with Quinn was like dealing with a wild animal, get too close and your hand would be bitten off. "Certainly one of my earlier performances, but I'd say one of my finest."

"Speaking of early performances," Quinn smirked, "Have you seen my husband? I was just looking for him. You can't let them wander too far, you know." She glanced down at Rachel's ring finger.

"As a matter of fact, I do know. Speaking of husbands, I should call mine." Rachel dug in her clutch for her phone. "Lovely to see you Quinn." She smiled weakly at Kurt. "Call me later darling?"

Rachel rushed outside, wanting to hear Brody's voice before she had to face her other classmates. Just as she was about to press DIAL, she heard footsteps clomping behind her.

"Hey."

A/N: Hi... imagine that being said sheepishly. Sorry for not updating in 6 months, I'd make an excuse but it wouldn't matter, would it? Just so y'all know, I'm one chapter away from finishing this. Also, couldn't resist marrying Rach off to Brody. I love them together sooo much!
