Yes, this is the end. The epilogue. I'm sad that it's over. My first fanfic, and now it's done. It was my debut, an experiment, and I really loved writing this fic, letting it develop into what it is now. I really like Quinn/Rachel, and I've become addicted to writing ever day (it's really good for me, and it helps driving away the insanity of having to miss Glee for 3 more months, I have to get my Glee-doses somehow!) so I may start another fic. Maybe even based on this one. But that's a big, big maybe. I really hope you liked reading this. If you made it to the end, congratulations, you've just read over 30000 words. Evey word of what you thought of this is more than welcome. Enjoy this really short epilogue, and don't forget to please please leave a comment :)

Disclaimer: Not even now I own Glee or anything I refer to. I know. It's insane. But true.

15 years later

Quinn Fabray was standing in the Auditorium once again, letting her fingers slide over the piano keys, wiping away the dust. She smiled at the memories, walking in on her enemy Rachel Berry practicing so many years ago right at this very piano. That had probably been the turning point, speaking in a friendly manner to Rachel. It was so strange, walking through the halls of her old High School. She saw the past happening again with her eyes open, almost Scrooge-style she saw herself walking between Brittany and Santana through the halls. She saw Mr. Shue standing a few feet away from the piano, and felt like the warmth of a Glee practice surrounded her again. A 17-year old Finn Hudson appeared before her mind's eye, watching him play football. Sitting beside him while everyone sung Lean On Me to them. It wouldn't be long now, the reunion would start in 20 minutes. She had taken it upon herself to come early for exactly this reason. To enjoy the memories and relive the emotions in private. She felt the emotions making her heart swell. It was good to know that after all that had happened, she now still looked back at High School as a happy time. Careless. Footsteps caught her attention, and she turned around. A smile spread across her face.

"Rach," she said, "Remember?" She gestured widely at the room they were standing in, not referring to anything in particular.

"Of course. I remember everything."

"God, a lot has happened since we were kids!"

"So much, I almost can't believe it. But it was good whenever we were together."
"Which was most of the time."
"If not always."

They'd both carried a child by now. Although they did not share any blood, Maddie and Caroline were sisters nonetheless. Rachel had gone onto Broadway, of course, breaking through with her role in Wicked. Quinn had tried several things before finally finding her passion in acting. After High School, they both had spread their wings, not becoming just another Lima loser. Glee club had reunions regularly, and many among them had remained friends over the years. Though no reunion had yet been like this, because this time around it was a reunion of their whole class. The people who had once thrown slushies in their faces and humiliated them. Most of them had stayed in Lima, and Quinn felt said for their fates. None of them had probably expected Rachel and Quinn to stay together like they had, turning out to be true soulmates if such a thing would exist. Along the years, Rachel had remained her best friend and although they both changed, they grew together instead of apart. For Quinn, Rachel still was the most amazing person she had ever met in her life. Next year, they would be together for officially half of their lives, and she knew that there were many more years to come.

As she pulled Rachel close and leaned in to steal a kiss, she heard the doors of McKinley High open once again.
