Rachel was in the loft, and Will was in the teacher's lounge, talking on the phone to each other...
Rachel: "Mr. Schue, how are you? By the way, it's Rachel."
Will: "Rachel, hey. Good. Just getting ready for regionals."
Rachel: "Just ringing you, wondering how Ashleigh's doing? I can't get an honest answer out of that girl."
Will: "You know what, Rachel? She's doing really well. She's working closely with her therapist and peers; she's doing well."
Rachel: "That's good. I wanted you to be the first I told, even before Kurt, my dad's... even before Finn, I've got my callback for Funny Girl this morning."
Will: "Wait, did you get Fanny Brice?"
Rachel: "Not yet; it's between me and two other girls."
Will: "That's incredible news, Rachel. You're a shoo-in."
Rachel: "I just want you to know that if it does happen, it's because of you and Ashleigh. I mean, if it wasn't for my sister, I wouldn't be at NYADA."
Will: "Well, I know Ashleigh wouldn't rest until she got you into that school, but if I contributed even a little bit..."
Rachel: "You contributed more than a little. I sang "Don't Stop Believing" for my audition, and when I sang it, I thought about that first week, just that my sister was there with me instead of Tina. It brought back so many emotions; it made my performance so powerful. You were the one who put that all together. You okay, Mr. Schue?"
Will: "Yeah, fine, just allergies. Rachel, I'm so proud of you."
Rachel: "Look, I know Ashleigh screwed everyone up at sectionals, but she's the reason you're going to regionals... give her a second chance."
Will: "Of course. She's gotten her second chance on stage at regionals."
Rachel: "I just want her to know how amazingly proud of everything she's overcome and achieved. She's a wonderful person."
They hung up, and he signed softly.
A few minutes later, Will was in the choir room...
"All right, guys, I just got some wonderful news from Rachel. She's got a second callback for Funny Girl."Will said.
"What? That's awesome." Blaine says.
Everyone clapped.
"I already knew, but let me guess she wanted to see how I was doing, huh?" Asked Ashleigh.
Will nodded.
"That's not our only good news. Brittany's at MIT touring the campus because she's got her early acceptance." Said Will.
"That can't be true." Kitty says.
