Was anyone else crying a river after that tribute? I was and I found it sortof theraputic.

I apologise for the really late update. I went on a canoe trip for a month and had no technology, then school started up again and I wasn't expecting the workload. Anyways, my apologies. I promise (for real this time) the updates will be much faster. But at least this chapter is almost twice as long as the last one :)

RIP Cory, forever loved


After the emcee shared their embarassing stories of Will and Emma, and a fabulous dinner of chicken, fish, steak or, in Rachel's case, a vegan salad, it was time for the best-man and maid of honour speeches. Emma's sister finished her speech and then it was Finn's turn. He got up, headed to the stand, and turned to face the crowd.

"Uh hi everyone. Umm those who know me know that words aren't my strongpoint so I apologize that I don't have a speech prepared. So instead I'm going to sing for you guys. But before I do I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you to for all that you've done for me personally and for every single one of your students and glee clubers that had the opportunity to learn from you. And because of you, " he said, turning to face the head table, "and because of all the people at those three tables" turning to point at the three tables occupied by the former and current new directions, "and because of one other special person, I have decided what I'm going to do with my life. I want to be a teacher so I can teach and inspsire other students the way you guys did for me."

He stopped there to take a look around the room. His mom and Burt were crying, the glee clubbers were smiling, had tears in his eyes, and Rachel had her mega-watt smile that she reserved for him plastered across her face.

"So, umm that kindof turned into a speech but I'm going to stop there so that I don't mess it up. Basically, congratulations you two, you've waited long enough, and this song is for you. I hope it makes you realize how much you have done for me."

Say my name, like it's the last time

Live today, like it's the last night.

We want to cry, but we know it's alright

Cause I'm with you, and you're with me.

As he sang his eyes roamed the crowd before landing on her. Her long brown hair, not straightened or curled, just naturally beautiful. Her perfect face, minimal make-up, just the way he likes it.

Butterflies , butterfies, we were made to fly,

You and I, you and I, colours in the sky.

We could rule the world someday somehow,

but we'll never be as bright as we are now.

We're standing in a light that won't fade,

Tommorow's coming but that won't change,

Cause some days stay gold forever.

The memory of being here with you,

Is one I'm gonna take my life through,

Cause some days stay gold forever.

He thought back to the first time he heard this song. The two of them had gone to the lake for a late-night picnic last May when the song played on the radio. The words captivated him and compelled him to pull her up, place her on his feet and attempt a slow-dance. She had snuggled into his chest and he had put his chin on her head, both of them taking in the moment.

Promise me, you'll stay the way you are.

Keep the fight alive, and stay on my heart.

When the storm feels like, it could blow you over

Remember you've got me, and I've got you.

Cause we are,

How perfect life had been. He couldn't believe that almost a year had passed since that night. How much life can change in a year.

Butterflies , butterfies, we were made to fly,

You and I, you and I, colours in the sky.

When the innocence is dead and gone,

these will be the times we look back on.

We're standing in a light that won't fade,

Tommorow's coming but that won't change,

Cause some days stay gold forever.

The memory of being here with you,

Is one I'm gonna take my life through,

Cause some days stay gold forever.

Looking at her, he could tell that she was having the same thought process. Entering into the bridge and final verse he made a promise to himself. A promise that no matter what was to come, he was never going to forget that night. With that in mind, he threw himself into the song.

I won't, I won't, let your memory go,

Cause your colours they burn so bright.

Who knows, who knows, what tommorow will hold,

But I know that we'll be alright.

Cause we're,

Butterflies , butterfies, we were made to fly,

You and I, you and I, colours in the sky.

We could rule the world someday somehow,

but we'll never be as bright as we are now.

We're standing in a light that won't fade,

Tommorow's coming but that won't change,

Cause some days stay gold forever.

The memory of being here with you,

Is one I'm gonna take my life through,

Cause some days stay gold forever.

When he finished, the audience burst into applause but he only noticed the inklings of tears in her eyes.

"Thank you everyone but I am not the main-event. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Shue, and now it's a pleasure for me to introduce the beginning of our entertainment tonight, the newest additions to the McKinley High Glee Club!" he announced and got off the stage as fast as possible to avoid getting in the performer's way.

Jake hit the play button awhile Ryder came up on stage and started to sing.

Whoa-uh-oh

It's always a good time

Whoa-uh-oh

Jake came up on stage to take the first verse.

It's always a good time

Woke up on the right side of the bed

What's up with this Prince song inside my head?

Hands up if you're down to get down tonight

'Cause it's always a good time

Ryder jumped back in for the second verse.

Slept in all my clothes like I didn't care

Hopped into a cab, take me anywhere

I'm in if you're down to get down tonight

'Cause it's always a good time

Marley joined them on stage, splitting the third verse with Jake in the same way that Owl City and Carly Rae did in the original.

Good morning and good night

I'll wake up at twilight

It's gonna be alright

We don't even have to try

It's always a good time (Whooo)

Kitty and Unique jumped on stage for the chorus.

Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh

It's always a good time

Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

We don't even have to try, it's always a good time.

Marley took the next verse.

Freaked out, dropped my phone in the pool again

Checked out of my room, hit the ATM

Let's hang out if you're down to get down tonight

'Cause it's always a good time

Then Ryder and Kitty split the next one.

Good morning and good night

I'll wake up at twilight

It's gonna be alright

We don't even have to try

It's always a good time (Whooo)

All five of them sang the chorus while dancing a choreography consisting of a lot of swaying, front-steps, hand-raising, eratic movements. The audience laughed at the dance that was obviously derived from Finn's imagination.

Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh

It's always a good time

Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

We don't even have to try,

It's always a good time.

Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh

It's always a good time

Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

We don't even have to try,

It's always a good time.

Unique, Ryder and Marley each took a line of the bridge while Kitty and Jake took on a difficult dance routine that was not-quite equal to Brittany and Mike dancing but it was pretty close.

Doesn't matter when

It's always a good time then.

Doesn't matter where

It's always a good time there.

Doesn't matter when

It's always a good time then.

The rest of the current glee club shout-sang the next line before the newbies rejoined for the final chorus.

It's always a good time!

Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh

It's always a good time

Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

We don't even have to try,

It's always a good time

Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh

It's always a good time

Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

We don't even have to try,

It's always a good time.

He had a feeling that tonight would be.
