"Hey, are you okay? You look a little stressed."

I looked up at him. "Oh yeah, between trying to make a set list and a seating chart, I am totally not loosing my mind." He laughed a little. "Finn, what was I thinking? I can't run a glee club. I wasn't even that good when we were in it. I took medication, so I didn't pass out on stage. And then my first year as Captain--if that's what you call it--I completely sucked and we lost."

He just shook his head and laughed. "That wasn't your fault, A.J. You have to know that. You went up against one of the best show choirs in the country, and the reason you lost was them. Not you. You did great up there."

I shook my head. "I sucked. Now, I'm expected to lead this choir to a championship or else we loose it forever. While doing that, I have to decided between white and yellow cake."

"Get white. Yellow tastes to much like the color."

I looked at him confused and then went back to what I was doing. "What are you doing right now?" I sighed. "Trying to find songs to do. It's hard. I'm doing it all by myself. I don't have anyone to help."

"Let me do it."

"I'm sorry, what?"

"I'll do it, A.J. I'm serious. I'll do that and you can take care of the wedding and stuff. Have Lexie help you." I just stared at him. "I didn't even trust you to watch Lexie when she was in the hospital. With doctors. You really think I'm gonna trust you with what happens with all of the money that I have left?"

It was quiet for a minute in the room. "I'm just...so nervous."

"About what?"

I sighed and put down the pen I was holding. "I'm just scared that I'm not gonna be any good at it." He just stared at me with that blank expression that he always had. "At any of it. We practically raised ourselves. Mom was working night work seven nights a week. Dad wasn't around. I'm just terrified."

"You are going to be fine. Everything is going to work out."

It was quiet for a moment before Scarlett and Lexie walked in, sitting next to Finn and me. "What's wrong?" Lexie asked. I sighed. "Oh, just loosing my mind over what to have them do for nationals and rather I want white or yellow cake." 

"White. Yellow tastes like the color." 

I just stared at the two of them for a minute. "Oh my god, you guys really are soulmates." Lexie laughed a little before looking back at me. "Why?" I pointed to Finn. "He said the same thing-" I shook it off and it went back to being quiet. 

"Ooh!" Scarlett exclaimed. "Do you remember those things we used to do in high school? Just the four of us...like those sleepovers. And, your mom is out of town and we can stay there." I sighed and rubbed my face. "It would be nice. To kinda...have that nostalgia. I know where mom keeps the spare key and they are out of town for the weekend because it's their anniversary...what'd ya say?" 

They all nodded in agreement. "Can you guys convince Sam and Santana that you're gonna be away for the weekend?" 

"Finn, Sam thinks dinosaurs live on a different plant called Dinorama, I think I can tell him that I'm going away for the weekend." 

"Yeah, and, believe me, I love Sasha with my whole being but she's just a mini Santana, it's difficult. I need a break. Santana won't mind." 

I cocked my head to the side a little. "I don't know, Santana scares me, and that's saying something. I scare a lot of people. Sam didn't even want to come back here because apparently I become scarier when I'm back here." 

Scarlett, Lexie, and I all looked at each other. "Finn, you need to go." He looked confused for a minute. "What? Why?" I sighed. "Because, Finn, we need to have a secret meeting." 

"Why do you three need to have a secret meeting?" 

"Because Finn, we are The Bitches. And we need to have a secret meeting, now would you just go?" 

He sighed and walked out of the teachers lounge where we sat. "Alright, so, I call this meeting to order." I said, smiling. "The last time we had one of these, was right before graduation so we could talk about who got Finn after the divorce, and Lexie got him." 

She nodded. "Alright, how do we feel about making Finn and honorary member of The Bitches?" They both looked at each other and nodded. "We don't have to give him a rank, but he will be able to sit in on meetings such as this." 

Lexie nodded. "He does bug me about what happens in these things and he's probably going to bug me for the rest of the day about what happened in here." I nodded. "Then, we're all in agreement. Finn Hudson is know an honorary member of the bitches." 

I sighed. "Finn!" I yelled out into the hallway, making both Lexie and Scarlett jump. He walked back in and sat down at the table we were sitting at. "You don't have a rank or a nickname, but you can sit in on meetings." 

He smiled a little. "But what about like Sam?" I smirked. "Oh, I own him. He doesn't ask about what I do." 

We all smiled. Finn and Lexie went to leave, before I held my arm out to stop them. They both looked at me and then I pointed to the chairs they were sitting in. They both looked at each other and sat down. "This weekend is the four of us. Not Finn and Lexie featuring Scarlett and A.J. You two cannot go canoodling anywhere." 

"What kind of canoodling?" 

"Any kind! This weekend is about us, and going back to the way we were before we graduated. It needs to be like that again. So, if something happens between you guys, you are both going to be shunned." 

Finn just stared at me. "Shunned means ignored, Finn." He nodded after I told him. 

For a minute, it seemed like the four of us had time traveled and we were those kids again. We were those kids that were back in high school and everything seemed perfect.
