Song: Strong by Sonna Rele.

Warning Rated M for Mature Audiences.

Rachel was at her audition for Cinderella. She had thought she had found her Prince Charming, then realized he was really one of the mice. But even they were more loyal and lovable.

Rachel really wanted to move on and focus on her career. She didn't want to let love continue to distract her.

While Rachel was waiting, she still couldn't get the image of Hunter and that girl who shall remain nameless out of her head.

[FLASHBACK]

[Flashback Ends]

Ouch 😣😭

"Miss Rachel Berry, you're next."

Rachel shook her head, tried to block out negative thoughts.

"Deep breath Rachel...you got this!" Rachel gave herself a pep talk. Then walked out onto the stage.

"Hello My name is Rachel Berry and I will be singing Strong from Cinderella. "

Rachel took a deep breath and looked at the back of the theatre and was surprised to see Hunter AND Sebastian watching her.

Focus Rachel... She told herself.

[Rachel]

In a perfect storybook, the world is brave and good
A hero takes your hand, a sweet love will follow
But life's a different game, the sorrow and the pain
Only you can change your world tomorrow

Let your smile light up the sky
Keep your spirit soaring high

Trust in your heart and your sun shines forever and ever
Hold fast to kindness, your light shines forever and ever
I believe in you and me
We are strong

When it once upon a time in stories and in rhyme
A moment you can shine and wear your own crown

Be the one that rescues you
Through the clouds, you'll see the blue

Trust in your heart and your sun shines forever and ever
Hold fast to kindness, your light shines forever and ever
I believe in you and me
We are strong

A bird all alone on the wind
Can still be strong and sing
Sing

Trust in your heart and your sun shines forever and ever
Hold fast to kindness, your light shines forever and ever
I believe in you and me
We are strong

Rachel belted out that last note.
The theatre was silent. Rachel was nervous. Had she blown her audition?

"That. Was. Incredible Miss Berry. Thank you, we will be in touch." The director said.

Rachel smiled, and then excused herself off the stage.

She rushed off the stage to avoid facing Hunter.

"Rachel?" Hunter called out.

"Damn. 😲😵💩" she thought to herself.

"Hunter. Great." She said sarcastically, but honestly there was a part of her that wanted to just run into his arms and kiss him.

"You were amazing babe." He said.

"Don't Hunter." Rachel responded.

"Don't What? Don't be proud of you? Don't tell you I miss you every day? Don't tell you I had a dream of us in the future and that is why I am here to get you back?" Hunter said to her.

Rachel didn't know what to think.

"Why are you here?" She asked.

Hunter pulled out his guitar.
"This is why Rachel. Just listen."

[AN: Say You'll Stay by Kai]

[Hunter]

Tonight we're all alone tonight
There's never been a moment
That trembled like tonight
I read your eyes tonight

I see a love I've always known from another time
That once again is mine I need to know
Are you real?
Do you feel the way I feel?

Could you love like I love you?
Say you can and say you do

Say you'll stay say you're sure
Say my heart was made for yours
Let our love lead the way
Say you'll stay

Tonight, I've waited for tonight
I've waited all my life to be here where we are
With you here in my arms
I can't believe, how you shine

Is this moment really mine?
Could you love, like I love you?
Say you can and say you do

Say you'll stay, by my side
Say it's more than just tonight
Say our love, would never let you walk away (never walk away)
Say you'll stay, say you're sure
Say my heart was made for yours
Let our love, lead the way
Say you'll stay (say you'll stay)

Say you'll stay
Forever in my arms
And whenever tears are falling
Girl, I'll kiss them all away
So if you want to be my lady, say you'll stay

Say you'll stay, by my side
Say it's more than just tonight
Say our love, would never let you walk away (never walk away)
Say you'll stay, say you're sure
Say my heart was made for yours
Let our love, lead the way
Say you'll stay (say you'll stay)

Rachel was emotional. She ran into Hunter's arms and kissed him. Hunter dropped his guitar, kissing her back.

[AN: I know the girl isn't Rachel but for the story just pretend it is lol]

After several minutes of passionate kisses....

The couple finally pulled apart.

"So....is Claringberry finally back together?" Said Sebastian.

Hunter and Rachel looked at each other.

"Team Claringberry is back together!" They said together.

"It's about fcking time. I was worried about Hunter crying another month like a wuss." Sebastian teased. "I'll get a hotel room for the night. Maybe I'll get laid. But Rach, you have my number just in case Hunter decides to screw up again." Sebastian teased.

Sebastian walked away.

Hunter kissed Rachel again. "Ready to come home?" Hunter asked.

Rachel smiled. "Ready for me to blow your whistle?"

Hunter smirked. "Let me know. "

Rachel giggled. Before they walked off, the director came running. "Miss Berry! Wait!"

Rachel turned back. "Yes is there a problem sir?" She asked.

Director smiled. "Well unless telling you that you are our Cinderella is bad news than nope no problem."

"Oh my Gawd!?! I'm Cinderella!!!" Rachel jumped up and down.

Hunter laughed. "I say she is happy to be Cinderella." He said.

"Congratulations Miss Berry. We will be in touch." The director said before heading back inside.

"Congratulations Rachel. You are already my Cinderella." Hunter said before kissing her.

"Take me home Prince Charming." Rachel teased.

"Let's live our happily ever after."
