It's Called Being Sassy

Champions

"It's the last week of school!" Kurt is so happy.

"I can't wait to graduate." Santana is dead serious.

"I know that's right." Mercedes sighs.

"When will you learn about NYADA?" Tina asks.

Kurt blows out a breath. "Wednesday hopefully."

"Then you'll start your new life." Marcy says.

Kurt smiles. "My old life isn't so bad."

Rachel runs up to the group of Kurt and girls. "Guess what just happened to me! I signed an autograph!"

MJ

"Q, you're arguably my favorite person to ever come in this stupid school." Coach Sylvester starts. "I can't believe it's only been four years."

"Is this the part where she says you made it so great for her?" Marcy raises a brow.

Quinn giggles.

Coach Sylvester scowls. "No! Now let me say this."

"Say what?" Marcy doesn't get it. "And why am I here?"

"I'm getting to it! Now where was I?"

"Running off about how you think Q is your mini me..."

"I- I was not!"

Quinn sniffles with the restraint to hold her laughter back.

Coach Sylvester huffs. "You and the rest of those glee cheerleaders are going on my wall of fame. You're going to do something with your lives. Even Yentl. You'll all get to keep your uniforms."

"Yay, prison garb..." Marcy monotones.

Quinn lets out a low laugh.

Coach Sylvester glares at the mom of twins. "As for you! You're going to be my head Cheerio next year!"

"Can I get a why?" Marcy mocks.

"You were born to lead."

"True. But I might not even be here next year."

"You're staying." Coach Sylvester is confident.

"As long as you think so."

She gives Marcy a flat look. "Now how do I get rid of morning sickness?"

Santana holds onto Mercedes' left arm. She's crying softly.

Mercedes has her head against Santana's and is rubbing her arm gently. "It'll be okay, sweetie."

"But Britt's not graduating. She's going to be stuck here. I can't believe she got me accepted to school but she's stuck here."

"Britt's made her peace with reality. At least this way Artie won't be alone."

Santana nods. "I was going to have Patti and Girl Chang watch him."

"Watch him?"

"Make sure no girls get on his radar. He was flirting with Melody yesterday."

"Is that why you almost snapped him in two?"

"Yes! I'm going to kill him one of these days!"

"Tana, calm down."

"I am calm." Santana pouts. "He's just mad because Squirt likes Lila. His mom said they could go out."

"Gomez and Lila?!" Mercedes is extra loud in the late morning.

"I know. And Sara likes Patti's girl's little brother."

"Elliot seems like such a cutie! He has the best manners and he loves his sister."

"We're talking about my boyfriend cheating on us."

"You can't stand to have the conversation not be about you."

"Wheezy!"

Mercedes laughs.

"What am I going to do in Kentucky all alone?"

"We're all going to be alone."

"No. You three are going to be in Malibu with Puckerman and Kurt and Berry are going to be in NYC with Finnocence and Zizes is going to be in Florida and Britt is going to be here with all the young ones."

"I guess you will be alone."

"Wheezy!"

"You want to talk to Marcy?"

"I don't want to cry!"

"She wouldn't make you cry!"

"Wheezy..."

"She wouldn't make you cry on purpose." Mercedes mumbles.

Santana's shoulders sag. "I'm just-"

"Scared?"

"Yeah." Santana hates admitting that.

"It's okay to be scared. I'm going to be scared. This is new for all of us. But I bet we'll make it. We're strong, capable young people. We can do this. Just get through this year then make a plan with your spouses together."

Santana hugs her best friend tightly. "I don't know what I'd do without you. I don't know what I'm going to do without you."

"Pick up a phone and call me anytime."

Santana smiles. "Yeah, I will."

MJ

The juniors and sophomores laugh as the seniors sing their going away song to them. It's fun and energetic and sets them on fire.

They're ready to take on the glee club next year.

MJ

"Alright." Kurt sets his letter on the piano. "This is it."

Rachel sets hers on top. "Whatever it says, we're going to New York anyway."

Kurt grabs his letter and tears it open.

Rachel does the same.

Both read the contents.

MJ

"So?!" Mercedes swats Rachel and Kurt.

"We're going to NYADA!" They shout.

The girls scream and hug them joyously.

MJ

"We had to hurry to leave Maddie's birthday to come here." Quinn hurries to dress for the award ceremony.

"How is she?" Brittany wants to know.

"Excited to be twelve." Mercedes smirks. "And her graduation is Friday."

"And she's invited Stevie to her birthday party next week." Marcy looks at Mike.

Who's scowling. "I'm gonna kill him."

Sam makes an upset noise. "He's a good kid!"

Mike makes an upset noise back.

Puck snickers. "I'm locking Nic in a closet."

"Oh Noah!" Mercedes swats him.

"I'm runnin over Gomez!" Artie's in his own snit.

"Leave my baby brother alone!" Santana checks her makeup.

"He'll be alone..."

Marcy shakes her head. "Let's get the hell from back here so we can sing for Mr. Shue."

Blaine smiles. "Don't you think he deserves Teacher of the Year?"

"I didn't vote for him."

"Do you still think he's a creeper?" Sugar wants to know.

Marcy smiles before leaving.

Mercedes is appalled. "That's not an answer!"
