After the boys finish up the DNCE song Nick and Jeff rush off stage, leaving just a random grouping of underclassmen in their wake.

Strobe lights kick in and fog starts to filter through the stage as a voice calls out.

"Hey everyone!! Well let me introduce myself. I'm Skylar Jackson, freshman well I suppose now a sophomore member of the Warblers, since the school year is over now and all. Anyway... us newer guys wanted to give you a preview of the Warblers to come in the next few years.  Hope you all enjoy it."

Skylar flocks back into formation with some of the other younger members just as the backbeat of the song starts. The boys moving in very complicated dance moves.

All I know is that to me
You look like you're lots of fun
Open up your lovin' arms
I want some

"Why does this young kid remind me so much of the Meerkat??"

You spin me right round, baby right round.

I tear my eyes away from the stage to look past Blaine, to look at Kurt. His eyes are wide and following the movements of the younger Warblers on stage. He glances over to me as I whisper back.

"Skylar?? He should remind you of Seb. According to what he's said, he wants to be just like him. Looks up to him. I think it's adorable."

Kurt mumbles something in response as I look back to the stage, something that vaguely sounds like 'great like we really need a Smythe protégé'.  I just roll my eyes and focus back on the concert.

From behind me I can hear a nervous conversation happening once again.

"We're literally toast next year."

"I can dance, but nothing like that.  We're screwed.  So screwed."

Honestly I don't blame Tina and Sam for their worries. I would be bothered too if I had known that these boys were so talented before. But they are my friends and I'm rather proud of them.

All of them.

Even if they don't always appreciate my being around.

Speaking of that, the underclassmen have finally left the stage and some of the seniors walk back out. Thad ends up strolling to center stage, taking his position as a spotlight shines directly on him.

I sigh loudly as he smiles out to the audience, raising a microphone to his mouth.  Backing vocals kick in softly as Blaine grabs and squeezes my hand.

"Belle, I know you two don't always get along but you'll love this.  Thad has an amazing voice."

I shrug slightly, I suppose I can give him a chance.  I mean the one time I did hear him sing, way back during my first visit to Dalton, he didn't sound half bad.  But back then I was only thinking about Sebastian.

Well and how precious Nicky was as he desperately tried to impress me.

Once the backing vocals come in stronger I begin to recognize what Thad is getting ready to sing. And I cannot help the small smile on my face. I absolutely adore this song...

Moving On
(Originally by Rascal Flatts but using the Eddy Martin cover in the above video)

I've dealt with my ghosts and faced all my demons
Finally content with a past I regret
I've found you find strength in your moments of weakness
For once I'm at peace with myself
I've been burdened with blame, trapped in the past for too long
I'm movin' on

I've lived in this place and I know all the faces
Each one is different but they're always the same
They mean no harm but it's time that I face it
They'll never allow me to change
But I never dreamed home would end up where I don't belong
I'm movin' on

I'm movin' on
At last I can see life has been patiently waiting for me
And I know there's no guarentee's, but I'm not alone

There comes a time in everyone's life
When all you can see are the years passing by
And I have made up my mind that those days are gone

I sold what I could and packed what I couldn't
Stopped to fill up on my way out of town
I've loved like I should but lived like
I shouldn't
I had to lose everything to find out
Maybe forgiveness will find me somewhere down this road

I'm movin' on

I'm movin' on

I'm movin' on

I'm captivated.  Who would have thought that Thad could sing like that?!

He's exceptional.

Blaine chuckles softly at my side.  "I told you Belle."

I nod in awe as he takes a bow on stage.  It's a shame our fledgling friendship is basically kaput.  Thad, being Seb's self proclaimed best friend took it as a personal affront when he found out about the whole situation with Hunter.

I'm not sure if I'll ever repair that relationship, especially since I'm heading to California to be with Hunter instead of New York with him and Sebastian.

And Rachel.

And Kurt.

And Blaine....
