"LOVE & THE GENTLE HEART ARE ONE THING
20. THEY ARE ONGOING"

Ties to The Encyclopedia Brittanyca

The bowl was empty, the dance was dying out. Little by little the gym started to empty, though there remained two distinct groups: the chaperones, and the Glee Club. Some seemed less determined to see the party end than others did. Brittany had wanted to dance, and she was joined in this by Santana, and Kurt, Blaine, Carl, and Holly, under the direction of Brad on piano and Puck on guitar. There weren’t really any pairings as such, just an outburst of dance for no other reason than to enjoy themselves. Carl and Holly had joined in as, not actually members of the faculty, they didn’t have to answer to Principal Figgins the way Will, Emma, and others had to, as he gave his report of ‘events’ such as Jacob’s knock out, and a few boys who’d taken to redecorating the bathroom…

Most of the other Glee kids had been recruited into helping pick up around the gym, stacking chairs, taking down decorations… Mike and Tina were exempted from this, as Burt and Carole drove them to the ER. They were seen off by Mercedes, who made Tina promise to text her once she had news of her ankle’s condition. Once they were gone, she turned back to find Anthony waiting at the door.

“One more dance?” he asked her. She smiled.

“One more dance,” she agreed, and he held out his hand to get hers, leading her back to the gym, to join in the gathering by the stage.

As they’d headed back in, Will had returned, and he asked Mercedes to tell the others to help with the clean-up. She asked for her one more dance, pleading eyes, and she got it… but after that they all had to get to work.

Brad had sent the band on home. The kids had given their dance up to provide the music, it was only fair. He had his own Valentine waiting at home, with their girls… But he was happy to do it… Helena knew he had a soft spot for love songs… and love stories.

Maybe a love story wasn’t what people expected out of them… they were just kids. But then he was living proof that sometimes this was right where it all started. It wasn’t always the case, and some of them would find themselves disappointed, thinking that guy or that girl was their ‘one and only’… He was sure they’d find their way.

He’d seen it all, that night, from on top of that stage, saw them running left and right, some couples interchanging… He saw smiles, laughter… longing… He saw beginnings, careful and full of hope. He saw people taking chances, no absolutes but every bit worth the shot, whether it worked out or not… They had love on their side, telling them to reach out… He’d reached out, too… And there were so many more stories…

Brittany was stacking up paper hearts, which she’d pulled off the walls. She’d pull off the rolled up tape from the back, sticking it in the palm of her hand before moving to the next.

“What are you doing?” Rachel asked, coming up to her. Brittany looked around, seeing everyone else just tossing the decorations in the trash.

“Oh…” she blinked.

As she looked around, in the now nearly empty gym, she saw Peter and Hannah, sitting side by side on the ground, back against the wall. Hannah was laughing, as Peter appeared to be telling her a story, pointing to spots around the gym. Brittany smiled.

She’d done this… she’d gotten them together… They looked so happy, and she’d never been prouder of anything she’d done in her life. So she’d gone to Brad, asking if he’d stay a little longer, after they’d all gone, all of them… leaving just those two. Brad had a thing for love stories…

The gym was back to looking like a gym, as the trash bins were rolled out, and chaperones and ‘entertainment’ alike all began to head out.

“Brittany, come on, my father’s waiting outside to drive you home,” Artie came to her as she stood just outside the gym door, looking in.

“Wait…” she told him, looking back, smiling.

In the gymnasium of McKInley High, as Brad played out his last song one more time, Peter Geller, the man formerly known as ‘Patches,’ got down on one knee in front of Hannah Farrell, the assistant librarian, and asked her to be his wife. And she said yes.
