"No one wants any pizza?"

The New Directions were gathered in Mr. Schue's living room and they were supposed to be brainstorming songs to sing at Regionals, but no one was really in the mood after hearing that Coach Sylvester was one of the judges at Regionals. Their chances of winning had been slim before, but now that Sue was a judge they were basically guaranteed to lose which meant that Glee Club was over. The realization made Rosy want to cry because even though the majority of the people in the choir room drove her insane half the time, they were still her friends and she couldn't believe that it was all going to be over soon.

"All right, well uh, let's get started. Thank you for coming to the first annual New Directions' Regionals' setlist nomination party." Mr. Schue said, clapping his hands and trying to be positive, but no one smiled.

"What's the point, Mr. Schue? Coach Sylvester's one of the judges. She's gonna crush us." Artie said quietly and Rosy felt the urge to go over to him and hug him, to hug all her friends before she didn't get a chance to again. Maybe she was being dramatic, but she seriously doubted that anyone except for maybe Rachel, Mercedes, and Artie would even talk to her once glee club was over.

"Artie, you don't know that." Mr. Schue said and everyone rolled their eyes at his optimism.

"Yes, we do. She told us at Cheerios practice." Santana said and Rosy and Brittany both nodded.

"Yeah, she said, 'I'm going to crush the Glee Club'," Brittany said quietly and the blonde looked as if she might start crying.

"A whole freaking year." Puck said from his spot next to Rosy on Mr. Schue's couch. "All that hard work for nothing."

Rosy didn't want to believe that it was really over, she was more optimistic than the rest, some, like Kurt, would even call her naive, but for once she truly believed that they had lost. That it was game over. It didn't matter that she had built friendships this year that she thought would last a lifetime, it was all going to be over soon.

"Being apart of something special, it made me special." Tina was saying as Rosy tuned back in. "I just can't believe it's going to be over in a week."

"Wait, who said it's going to be over?" Finn asked, sitting up from his spot next to Rachel and Rosy rolled her eyes.

"Come on, Finn, do you really think Puck or Santana are gonna even acknowledge my existence once we don't see each other in glee club anymore?" Rosy asked and Puck looked at her in surprise.

"Do you really think that?" Puck asked and Rosy shrugged.

"Well, I guess. I mean why would you want to hang out with a loser like me?" Rosy said, feeling tears start to form in her eyes and Puck frowned.

"Because you're awesome and you're my best friend. Me and you, Moons, we're forever." Puck said and Rosy couldn't help but smile at his cheesiness before sinking against him in a hug.

"Mr. Schuester?" Rachel said, speaking up at last, tears in her eyes. "Do you think instead of nominating songs, we can just...all go around the room and talk about things that we loved about Glee Club this year?" Rachel asked, ending her sentence in a sob. Mr. Schue sighed but realized that they probably weren't actually going to get anything done that night and agreed. Rosy didn't pay much attention to what everyone was saying, she just kept her head resting against Puck's chest until everyone had said their favorite things and it was only Rosy left.

"Rosy?" Mr. Schue said and Rosy lifted her head from Puck's chest.

"Um, I just...I loved becoming friends with all of you, you guys really helped change me for the better and...and I'm gonna miss you all so much." Rosy said, tears in her eyes, and Puck squeezed her hand. "I, um, I actually have a song to nominate for our setlist, Mr. Schue," Rosy said and their teacher smiled at her.
