Will was sitting in his office at his desk when Ashleigh walked in...

"Hey, you wanted to see me?"

"Yeah. Have a seat." He says.

She cleared her throat, sitting down on the chair.

"Um, I just want to let you know that I'm totally committed to Glee Club, you know. I've had, uh, Artie, Sam, and Blaine drilling me, like, nonstop on the rights and lefts of the choreography, and I've even recruited three hot Cheerios to get us to 12..."

"You don't have to prove yourself to me, Ash." He tells her.

She nodded, looking around his office.

"Finn transformed this club when he joined up."

"He wasn't just the male lead; he was the captain of the football team

"He wasn't just the male lead; he was the captain of the football team. He was the coolest kid in school. I mean, a real dude, you know? He was our secret weapon at those competitions like you. No other school had you and Finn." He said.

"Yeah, he made... he made it seem pretty cool."

"When he persuaded me to let you into this club, he wasn't just looking for another voice in here. He was looking for someone to take the lead. Someone to help lead all these wonderful misfits." He says.

"I'm... I'm not Finn or Rachel, Mr. Schue. Finn was, like, a real better leader, you know?"

"And so are you. And I'm gonna need you to be that person when we get to L.A. The kids want you to be that person. They're all waiting for you to see yourself the way they see you. The new kids love you, and so do the older ones. I'm sure everything is gonna be fine once we get there. But if the time comes and you need to step up, I'm gonna be counting on you to get it done." He muttered.

She stared at Will, and the door opened, and Tina walked in.

"They're here." Said Tina.

Will and Ashleigh looked up, seeing Burt and Carole walking over to them, smiling widely.

"Hey, guys." Ashleigh said, smiling softly and hugging Carole.

"Good morning." Carole mumbled, smiling softly and wrapping her arms around Ashleigh.

"How's it going, Ash?" Burt asked, hugging Ashleigh tightly.

A few minutes later, the Glee Clubbers were sitting in front of Burt, Carole, and Will...

"We just wanted to come in and say that, uh, Finn really cared about you guys. More than you know." Burt says.

"Finn always said that winning nationals was the greatest accomplishment of his life. But I honestly believe that coaching you guys to win would have meant even more to him." Said Carole.

Ashleigh looked down at the ground, chewing on her bottom lip.

"Now, we're not saying go out there and win it for Finn. That wasn't his style. Um, what Finn would have said was that this is the time of your lives right now. You're never gonna forget it, and in a moment, it's all gonna be over." Burt tells them.
