It's a week until graduation. Yes New Directions won Nationals again, yes we are no longer underdogs, and at least we have one amazing week left.
I walk enter the choir room and see all the alumni are here. I smile and come to them and hug them one by one. I don't know what are they doing here.
"We make a new tradition. We won Nationals twice in a row." Finn smiles at us. "And we've come full circle here. From now on, every year, after we won Nationals, we all come back home and celebrating it together!" Finn grins at us as we are cheering happily.
"That's why your assignment is to sing one of the songs we sang in here but reinvented in some way." Dad walks in and grins at us as the others start cheering way louder. "Way back in the old days when I started the Glee Club I would give an assignment, and then I would- I would give a little demonstration of what I was looking for." Dad smiles at us as they are still cheering happily.
"See, you all cheer now, but just wait till he starts rapping." Santana simply said.
"Okay, no hip-hop today, Santana." Dad chuckles. "McKinley is now known as the school of the arts. Lately, I got plenty of emails from parents who are going to send their children to studied in McKinley. I couldn't thank you guys enough for this, to all the members, to Finn, and the alumni who wanted to volunteer to be the mentors for each competition. We are a family and we will always be." Dad smiles at us. "And now we have one week left before graduation so make this last one week to be the best week we could've ever had."
The bells rings.
Dad walks out from the choir room. I walk to the door and close the door. "Everyone go back to your seat." I said to them and standing on the front. "I need some help and your contribution."
"With?" Mercedes raises her eyebrows.
"By the end of the week is my dad's birthday. I figured out about the best gift that I could give but I couldn't think about it. And next week is Father's Day. Apparently, my little brother is too little to understand what a Father's Day mean. I got my camera here and I want you guys to share what do you think think of my dad by telling it to my brother. I know for some of you, he is just a teacher but for me, he is a hero. So please." I half smiled at them.
"We'll gladly to help." Mercedes smiles at me and nods.
"Thank you. Thank you very much." I smile at them.

We are applauding as The Unholy Trinity ended up their performance. I just frown to Quinn's new boyfriend who can't stop texting the whole time when his girlfriend were performing.
"What did you think, Mr. Preppy McDimplebutt?" Santana raises her eyebrows at Quinn's boyfriend.
"Oh, I thought it was, um, very energetic." He said to us.
"Dude, you were texting the whole time." Mike frowns.
"You know, he's very busy. He's, um, president of a-of a secret society and also captain of the water polo team." Quinn chuckles.
The bell rings.
I walk out from the choir room and sigh. "You didn't texting the whole time like that right?" I turn my face at Mike.
"Who am I texting to? You? Shall I text you even I can see you here?" Mike frowns at me.
I laugh and cross my hand around his elbow. "Sometimes you are more stupid than what I think." I chuckle.
"Do you want to come over to Breadstix along with Puck, Artie, and Santana?" Mike asks me.
"Yeah sure. Cafeteria food didn't make me full today." I chuckle.
"You must be on period." Mike simply said.
"How could you know that?" I laugh.
"Because you eat too much when you're on period." Mike chuckles.
"I love you." I giggle.
"Oh crap I forgot your graduation present at home." Mike put his arm around my shoulder.
"You don't have to give me present, silly." I chuckle.
"Well, I already prepared it." Mike says to me.
We both keep walking in the hallways and turn our way to the parking lot. I get to Mike's car and buckle up.
Mike start driving away. I turn my face to the street and then turn on the music. "How could get the idea of making a video like that?" Mike asks me.
"Well, I've been thinking that when we go to LA. The only one person that I'm gonna miss the most is Chubbo. I'm gonna miss he suddenly lays down next to me and asking me everything or disturbing me or disturbing our make out session." I chuckle.
"You know what? When we went to LA last week, Maddox was really close to me." Mike says.
"Yes he is. Maybe he consider you as a big brother type you know." I said to him.
"Yes and Sam asked me like how could me and him are so close. So I told him that I usually play video games with Maddox and your grandpa." Mike says to him.
"That's true. Wait, isn't Sam still dating that nurse with big boobs?" I frown.
"Yet he isn't over you." Mike simply said.
"Well, I'm so over him. I just consider him as a friend." I said to Mike.
"I know. It's stinks sometimes but I trust you." Mike smiles at me and parks the car.
I smile back at him and walk out from the car. I look around and see Santana, Artie, and Puck are walking out from one car.
We then enter Breadstix together and walk to the greeter to get ourselves a table. "Hey guys!" I turn my face and see Quinn and her boyfriend are here and her boyfriend is calling us. "Come here. Yeah, you- Come on."
We then walk to them and smile at them. "Hey, guys." Puck smiles at them.
"Hi. Santana Lopez. Word on the street is that you're old money. I'm a lesbian, but I'm totally into that." Santana shakes that guy's hand.
"Mike Chang, Asian dancer." Mike introduce himself and shakes his hand.
"Hi." He said to Mike.
"And I'm Artie Abrams. I may look like a dweeb in a wheelchair but my girlfriend's a cheerleader." Artie says to him and shake his hand.
"I'm Paris Schuester. Future world most famous director." I said to him.
"So what about Quinn? How would you describe her in one sentence?" He asks us.
"She's constantly surprising you. Like, one year she showed up to school in the fall and decided she wanted to be a skank." Mike says to him.
"She dyed her hair pink, she got a Ryan Seacrest tattoo and then lit a purple piano on fire." Santana says to him.
"Well, hold on one second. A piano? I mean.." He frowns.
"They're-They're messing with you." Quinn fake laughing. "Honey, I forgot my purse in the car and I'd really love my lipstick and some lady things." Quinn whisper at him.
"Oh, absolutely. I'll go get it for you, sweetheart. No worries." He said to Quinn and walk out from our table and Breadstix.
"What the hell was that?" Puck frowns.
"I am trying to present myself in a particular way.
Biff's family is Philadelphia Main Line society and if I get in with that, then my life is set." Quinn says to us.
"How do you cover up the tattoo, you know? Like, what, magic?" Santana asks Quinn.
"I pay my roommate to apply three coats of cover-up makeup to my lower back before I see him." Quinn says to us.
"Does he know about us? About Beth?" Puck asks Quinn.
"I will tell him everything when I'm ready." Quinn says to us. "Well I guess, I should go. I'll catch up with you guys tomorrow." Quinn says to us and walks away.
Mike and I just looking at each other and shrug. I called the waitress to order the food. I'm here to eat not to get into others people relationship.
I take out my laptop out of my bag and repeat the video we made today. I'm gonna edit this video and make it as beautiful as it could be.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Alright everyone, back to our assignment. Lately Puck asked about a number to do." Dad says to us and points to Puck.
"Actually, Mr. Schue, I was hoping, for this number, that we could move..." Puck says to us until Santana cuts him off.
"Hold up, Private Puckerman. I'm gonna let you finish, but first, I would like to uphold the tradition of hijacking this Glee Club and making everyone sit through what is basically an intervention. Mr. Schue, you said that we could redo some of our favorite numbers, right? Well, then I wanna do a dance duet with Brittany." Santana says to us and grins at Brittany. "Hit it!"
Santana:
Well, sometimes I go out by myself
And I look across the water
And I think of all the things, what you're doing
And in my head I paint a picture
Brittany and Santana:
Cause since I've come on home
Well, my body's been a mess
And I've missed your ginger hair
And the way you like to dress
Won't you come on over?
Santana (Brittany):
Stop makin a fool out of me (Out of me)
Brittany and Santana:
Why don't you come on over Valerie?
Valerie

Santana (Brittany):

Put your house on up for sale
Did you get a good lawyer? (Did you get a good lawyer?)
Santana (with Brittany):
I hope you (didn't catch a tan)
Hope you (find the right man)
Santana (Brittany):
Who'll fix it for you (O-o-o-oh!)
Brittany (New Directions and Alumni):
Are you shopping anywhere
Change the color of your hair
Are you busy? (Are you busy?) (Santana: Wo-o-oh!)
Santana (with Brittany):
And did you (have to pay that fine)
That you were (dodging all the time)
Santana (Brittany with Alumni and New Directions):
Are you still dizzy? (Are you still dizzy?)
Brittany and Santana:
Since I've come on home
Well, my body's been a mess
And I've missed your ginger hair
And the way you like to dress
Santana with Alumni and New Directions:

Brittany and Santana with Alumni and New Directions:

Brittany (Brittany and Santana in the episode version):
Why don't you come on over (and Santana:Valerie?)
"Wow. I wouldn't want to follow that number, but if you're still up for it, Puck.." Dad gets up and points at Puck.
"Well, you know what? For my number, I think, uh, we should move to the auditorium." Puck smiled at us.
We are standing up to go to the auditorium. Suddenly Maddox walks into the choir room with Howard Bamboo holding his hand and bring Maddox's lunch bag.
"Daddy!" Maddox runs to dad.
"Hi." Dad picks him up and holds him. "Where is Terri?" Dad frowns at Howard.
"She has an urgent meeting with the General Manager. I'm dyslexic so she told me to pick up Maddox from school and dropped him here. I went to your office but your secretary said that you're probably here." Howard says to dad.
"Well thank you, Howard." Dad says to him.
I take the lunch bag from Howard's and hold it. "I'm gonna go back to the store." Howard says to dad.
"Thank you once again." Dad nods. Howard nods and walks away. "You hungry?" Dad asks Maddox.
"Nope." Maddox shakes his head. "Bailey was having a birthday party at school and we got chicken nuggets so the lunch that mom made is still in that lunch box." Maddox says to dad.
"Can I eat the lunch? What mom make for you?" I ask Maddox.
"Meatball sandwiches." Maddox says to me.
"Don't tell Paris you have food left, she already ate a large size of pizza alone." Dad says to Maddox.
"Keep mocking me, dad. I'm in development process so I eat too much." I roll my eyes.
"What is this?" Maddox asks as we enter the auditorium.
"The auditorium." Dad says to Maddox and still holding him.
I sit down on the front row of the audience seat and open Maddox's lunch bag. I take the lunch box and see two piece of meatball sandwiches, slice banana with Nutella, some boiled carrots and mayonnaise, also wheat crackers.
I take the food using fork and eat it. I don't care. I eat too much when I'm on period. I know that. It's like my portion become double now.
I look around and the others are busy with helping Puck to prepare the number. I keep eating the food and sip the water from Maddox's mineral bottle water.
After that I put the lunch box into the lunch bag. I walk to the stage and walk to dad who talk to Rachel, Kurt, and Mercedes with Maddox sitting down on top the piano.
I grin and give the lunch bag to Maddox. "All empty."
"Paris ate my lunch." Maddox says to dad.
"Hey, if mom found out that you didn't eat the lunch she made, she would be mad at you. Thank me." I roll my eyes.
"Chubbo.." Maddox cups my cheeks and squeeze my cheeks.
"Mr. Schue, we are ready." Puck says to dad.
"Alright everyone, Puck is ready to present something." Dad says to us and put Maddox on the ground.
I'm sitting down on the ground next to Mike as we are making a circle. Puck take the guitar and start playing it while he looks at Quinn.
Puck:
You're not alone
Together we stand
I'll be by your side, you know I'll take your hand
When it gets cold
And it feels like the end
There's no place to go
You know I won't give in
No I won't give in
Puck with Alumni and New Directions:
Keep holding on
Puck:
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Puck with Alumni and New Directions:
Just stay strong
Puck:
'Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you
Puck (Alumni and New Directions):
There's nothing you could say (Nothing you can say)
Nothing you could do (Nothing you could do)
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So (with Alumni and New Directions: keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through)
Puck:
So far away
I wish you were here
Before it's too late, this could all disappear
Puck with Alumni and New Directions:
Before the doors close
And it comes to an end
Puck with Alumni and New Directions harmonizing:
With you by my side I will fight and defend
I'll fight and defend
Yeah, yeah
Puck with Alumni and New Directions:
Keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, (Puck: we'll make it through)
Just stay strong
'Cause you know I'm here for you, (Puck: I'm here for you)
Puck (Alumni and New Directions):
There's nothing you could say (Nothing you can say)
Nothing you could do (Nothing you could do)
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So (with Alumni and New Directions: keep holding on)
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Puck with Alumni and New Directions harmonizing:
Hear me when I say, when I say I believe
Nothing's gonna change, nothing's gonna change destiny
Whatever's meant to be will work out perfectly
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...
Alumni and New Directions:
La da da da
La da da da
Puck with Alumni and New Directions:
La da da da da da da da da
Keep holding on
Puck (Alumni and New Directions):

So (keep holding on) (Puck: Keep holding on)
Puck (with Alumni and New Directions):
('Cause you know we'll make it through), we'll make it through
At the end of the performance, Quinn started to cry. I sit down on the bar of the stage next to Mike. Suddenly Maddox is sitting down in the middle of us and pushes me away from Mike.
"You are super cute, what's your name?" Kurt asks Maddox.
"Maddox William Schuester." Maddox simply said. "I drew a picture." Maddox says to us and take his bag. He opened his bag and take a drawing book and open it. I look at the picture and he drew six people in it.
"Who are they?" Mercedes asks him.
"This is daddy and mommy in the backyard, grandpa who's sitting down on the bench, then Paris and Mickey on the swing, and then me holding Brownie." Maddox says to us.
"I'm in it?" Mike smiles at him.
"Yes!" Maddox nods.
"Where am I?" Mercedes asks him.
"What's your name?" Maddox asks Mercedes.
"Mercedes." Mercedes smiles at him.
"Our name starting with M." Maddox giggles. "I will put you here on the tree."
"Hey come on." Dad called Maddox.
Maddox put his drawing book into his bag and walk away from the auditorium with dad. "He's so lucky to be adopted in your family." Mercedes says to me.
"Well, I guess when I'm moving to Los Angeles, the one who I'm gonna miss the most is him." I said to her.
"Where are his biological parents?" Kurt asks me.
"His biological father passed away when he was baby and his biological mother used him as the victim of her anger to his father so she was abusive to him and now she is in prison. My dad and I knew him since he was three years old. He deserved to feel loved from a real family. A day in our house, he can adapt so fast. He is a smart boy who wants to know everything and we don't need to explain something to him couple of times." I said to them.
"So the video was for him?" Mercedes asks.
"Yes. My mom and I decided to show him the video on Father's Day and when he is 16." I nod.
