Time jump a few years after graduation....

Rachel Berry was back in Lima, Ohio for a glee club reunion. She hadn't been back to McKinley since Graduation. She couldn't leave fast enough and moved to New York. Unfortunately it wasn't as easy as she had dreamt it would be. No glitz or glamour. But, she wouldn't trade a minute of it.

Rachel graduated from high school with a National title when New Directions finally won, she got into NYADA after choking on her audition. She owed a lot to Tina for helping her.

She also began high school single, and ended it with an amazing boyfriend. After failed attempts with Finn,Jesse St James, Blaine..the guy she ended up with was the one who made high school hell for her. The bad boy and the young ingenue. Her rebel, who was her first boyfriend. They lasted a week but then surprisingly found love again.

Rachel and Puck made it through high school in one piece. Sure they had their fights. But, she couldn't imagine being with anyone else. Puck was currently serving in the Air Force. She missed him desperately. She was hoping he would be home for the reunion but he couldn't get leave. She remembered their Skype call the previous night.

Flashback

Rachel: I wish you were coming tomorrow. It's so unfair.

Puck: Babe, you know if I could I would be there in a heartbeat and take you in the janitor's closet...good times.

Rachel: Noah?! Honestly?

Puck: You love it.

Rachel: I love you.

Puck: I love you too, my Jewish American Princess. Soon...

Flashback ends

Rachel walks through the halls and spots a note in her old locker. "That's odd," she thought. The note said

Open me..
   Anonymous

Rachel looked around, not sure if this was a mistake. Hoping that Sue Sylvester wouldn't pop her head out of the locker, or dirt in the locker.

Rachel surprisingly remembered her combination, and weird it worked. Rachel gasped as there was a Slushie cup. Rachel looked to make sure no one Slushie her. Was this a joke? But she was thirsty so she grabbed the cup, took a sip. "Mmmm, grape," she. whispered. She remembered someone giving her a grape Slushie years ago.

I remembered Grape was your favorite. You licked your lips after I tossed one in your face before.

Hmm, maybe a coincidence? No Rachel, he's not here. Rachel felt someone tap her shoulder. She turned and it was Artie.

Artie: Hello Miss. Berry welcome back.

Rachel smiled and hugged her old friend.

Rachel: Hi Artie! How is film school?

Artie: Amazing, but I should be filming this. Make a better video to correct the disaster of Run Joey Run. What were we thinking?

Rachel: Not my finest moment. Are you headed to the choir room? Where is everyone?

Artie: Well, I'll be there in a moment but I think I saw something for you in the Choir room.

Rachel: For me? What is it?

Artie: Woman, don't question. Just go and see.

Rachel: Um okay....

Rachel shook her head. Something is weird, why the choir room? Is there pig's blood going to be tossed on her like in Carrie??
