[B]*Opening Night of Funny Girl*
This is it,Tonights the night,the opening night of Funny girl. Everyone was there to support Rachel on her first ever Broadway performance as the dream role she always wanted to play:Finn,Kurt,Blaine,Puck,Quinn even Taylor was coming who was going to watch with Shelby from the backstage monitors incase anything happens.
As this is the case Rachel was really nervous and was panicking alot as she was getting herself ready to go on stage for act 1.

Rachel was putting her makeup on when she heard a knock on her dressing room door "COME IN!"She called out. The door opened and everyone came in telling Rachel to break a leg giving her chocolates,Flowers and all sorts of presents. "You guys you don't have too,"she said blushing slightly as Finn gave her a bouquet of beautiful red Roses. "Ofcourse we had too,"Finn said giving her a kiss on the lips "Its your first Broadway performance Rach and you deserve this after all that weve been through last year."
Everyone nodded with agreement "Lets be honest last year was a disaster,"Kurt said.
"It started off as that but it ended into something beautiful and amazing,"Rachel said giving Taylor a kiss on the cheek who was in Pucks arms. "You got that right,"Finn said "I almost forgot,"Finn reaches into his pocket and takes out a golden star  necklace printed Rachel Berry on it. Rachel gasps and feels tears form in her eyes "this is too much,"she said "I cant take this,"she tries giving the necklace back but instead Finn rolls his eyes putting it on Rachel "Take it Rachel,"he said gently"please...it shows that you're a star right on this very earth shining the brightest on that stage like you are born to do." Rachel wipes her eyes "Damn it my mascara is running,"she chuckles slightly she leans in and kisses Finn on the lips "I love it,"she said "Just like I love you."
"Well its almost time for the show to start so we're going to get our seats while you redo your mascara,"Finn chuckles. Rachel nodded and gave her boyfriend and daughter one final kiss before waving everyone goodbye as they leave her dressing room. Before going on stage Rachel looks at herself in the mirror glancing at her necklace around her neck "I've got this,"she tells herself "Because you Rachel Berrry is a star."

The opening soon began and Rachel stood behind the curtain smiling ever so widely and confidently as the audience applauded and she walks on stage there's no turning back now. Everyone watches proudly as Rachel starts her performance she was outstandingly hilarious and made Fanny her own,Finn couldn't of been more proud of her than he was right that second smiling so widely not being able to stop as Rachel sang her opening number Im the greatest star.

"I got 36 expressions!
Sweet as pie to tough as leather
And that's 36 expressions more than all those Baltimores puttogether.
So 'stead of just kicking me why don't they give me a lift?
Well, it must be a plot!
'Cause their scared that I got...such a gift?
Well, I'll nift.

Cause I'm
The Greatest Star
I am by far!
But no one knows it--WAIT!
They're gonna hear a voice
A silver flute (ah ah ah ah)
They'll cheer each toot
(Yeah, that kids terrific, mmm)

When I expose it
(Now can't ya see to look at me that)
I'm a natural Camille.
As Camille I just feel
I've so much to offer
(Now listen Mr. Z I know I'd be divine because)

I'm a natural cough
(ahoo, aheh, ahay)
Some ain't got it, not a lot
I'm a great big clump of talent
Laugh!
(ha ha ha ha)

They'll bend in half
A thousand jokes
(Stick around for the jokes!)
A thousand faces
I reiterate

When ya gifted, then ya gifted
These are facts 
I've got no acts to parade
Hey, what ya blind?
In all of the world so far
I'm the greatest star

Who is the pip with pizzas?
Who is all ginger and jazz?
Who is as glamorous as?
Who's an American beauty rose?
With an American beauty NOSE!!!
And ten American beauty toes?

Eyes on the target and wham
One shot on gun shot and BAM!
Hey hey hey hey world!
Here I am!

I'm the greatest star
I am by far
But no one knows it
That's why I was born
I'll blow my horn
'Til someone blows back

I gotta break the lights
I'm gonna make 'em fight
I'll flicker and flare up!
All of the world's gonna star up!
Looking down you'll never see me,
Try the sky cause that'll be me!

I can make 'em cry!
I can make 'em sigh!
Someday they'll clamor for my drama
Have ya guessed YET!
Who's the best yet?

If ya late I'll tell ya one more time
You bet ya last dime
In all of the world so far
I am the greatest, greatest
Star!"

The best part of the entire performance Finn thought was when Rachel sang My Man. Rachel always told him that she always thought of him when she sings that song and he could see why. Rachel couldn't stop looking at Finn through the entire song she wasnt singing as Fanny she was singing as Rachel.

"Oh, my man I love him so
He'll never know
All my life is just despair
But I don't care 
When he takes me in his arms 
The world is bright, all right
What's the difference if I say
I'll go away 
When I know I'll come back on my knees some day?
For whatever my man is 
I am his forever more

It's cost me a lot
But there's one thing that I've got 
It's my man
Cold and wet, tired you bet
But all that I soon forget 
With my man
He's not much for looks 
And no hero out of books 
Is my man
Two or three girls has he 
That he likes as well as me
But I love him!

Oh, my man I love him so
He'll never know
All my life is just despair
But I don't care 
When he takes me in his arms 
The world is bright, all right
What's the difference if I say 
I'll go away
When I know I'll come back on my knees some day?
For what ever my man is 
I am his forever more."

Finn wipes the tears as Rachel finished the song causing everyone to give her a standing ovation "SHE DID IT MY BERRY DID IT!"Puck screamed,Blaine started to whistle and Kurt couldn't stop smiling giving her thumbs up as Rachel wipes her tears on her face as the other cast members join her on stage for curtain call but the most loudest person was Finn and he couldn't stop smiling at his beautiful girlfriend on that stage where she belonged "her dream had come true. She was is a Broadway star,"Finn said out loud. "Um Finn?"Kurt asked "Who are you talking to?"
Finn chuckles "No one,"he replied and he winks at Rachel still with a smile on his face. Rachel started to laugh and twirl on stage she really was a Funny girl.
