Lancelot,
If you're reading this then I guess it means I went home. I'm writing this because I never got the chance to say goodbye to Buffy and Finn and I don't want to leave without a word.
When I first came to Anatole, the only thing I cared about was leaving and winning Nationals and being a star. I was scared and lonely and too used to being a loser and to have no friends. I was sure I'll be alone forever.
...You can imagine my surprise at the number of friends I've made, at the family I made.
I love you a lot. Because you're brave and you're trying so hard to do the right thing, just like me, only you're not selfish as me and you're way more mature. I'm so grateful I got to know you and learn from you and I only hope to remember some of that in dream at home because I don't want to lose that. Or you.
I want you to know that I never met a better person in my whole life, a better role model for how an adult should act. If there's anything I hope to have given to you is the ability to be proud of yourself because believe it or not? You have so much to be proud of. You're amazingly strong and good and I hope that you can at least be proud of how you've managed to affect my life because you did.
I'm going home to win Nationals. To be a star, to make my dreams come true. But honestly? I -
I'm going to miss you so much, I loved being your sister. I wish you all the happiness and all the love. I can only wish for you to be yourself, that's already the very best you could be. Remember the song I sang, For Good? Don't forget it, it's for you, too.
You'll be with me, like a handprint on my heart.
I love you a lot.
Forever yours, faithfully,
Rachel Barbra Berry ✩
Kurt,
Hey!
I guess if you're reading this then I went back home. I'm sorry I couldn't have stayed a bit more. I always wanted us to duet; you know, to show the people of Anatole what talent really looks like.
I've spent a lot of months in Anatole. When I got here, nobody was singing and now everyone kinda got used to the music, you know? This is what I leave to you. I can't think of one person I'd like to shape Anatole's musical taste more than you. And their fashion. I'm sure that even though you're going through a hard time, you'll do wonderfully in here until you're sent home, Kurt. I'm going to miss you a lot...even though I'll see you at home. Don't give up, force them to accept how awesome music is, how awesome you are.
I'm leaving them all in your hands. Educate them. Take care of Quinn and Noah, keep each other safe. I hope we'll see each other soon again.
I love you, Kurt. I don't tell you enough because most of the time we talk about songs and well, me. But the thing is? You're my best friend. Always will be. And the one performer I hope to learn more from at home.
I love you forever,
Rachel Barbra Berry ✩
Quinn,
I guess it finally happened to me too. I went back home, just like you said. I mean, if you're reading this I'm probably already gone.
I know we don't always get along, never did. But there's something I want you to know. I think you're the most beautiful girl I've ever met, one of the smartest and most talented. There are times that I think that you can't see yourself like I see you. I know you've been through a lot but I also know you're the only person I know that could have gone through so much and still stay strong and beautiful.
I don't mind your pink hair, by the way. I'm glad you went back to blonde, though. You know, changing your hair color can be very bad for it and yours is so pretty, you don't want that.
You're probably rolling your eyes right now, aren't you??
I'm glad we got to be here together, away from high school and all the pressure. I really hope we can get to know each other better at home. I like you a lot Quinn. I admire you, I hope that I get to be closer to you so I can learn a bit from you. And maybe we can get along better. Maybe we can be friends. I'd like that.
I Feel Pretty/Unpretty is still one of my favorite duets to have done in glee club. Just remember, you're not pretty, you're beautiful. Inside and out.
Take care of Kurt and Noah, especially Noah. I think he's only ever listening to you.
Love you and see you soon,
Rachel Barbra Berry ✩
Cas,
I can't believe I'm writing this -
You were my first friend in Anatole. The first person to like my singing, the first person who was nice to me. I know I'm not easy and sorta annoying and you hated how I dressed but...
But you're one of my best friends still.
Now I'm going home, or if you're reading this, I am at home and I want to say goodbye. I wanted to say thank you for letting me have a place to belong to. For encouraging me and for helping me to get up every time I fell. For being optimistic and sweet and seriously cool. I can only hope to be half as awesome as you are. I am going to miss you a lot, I never knew anyone like you, you're just that special. And our friendship means a lot to me, will always mean a lot to me.
Being part of something special makes you special, right? It's my cliche but it's true.
I hope all of Anatole will be able to see how amazing you are and what a good friend they can find in you. If not, just tell them Rachel Berry said you're the best and Rachel Berry is never wrong!
I don't know how to finish this letter...I. This is hard. I hope you'll be very happy and think of me sometimes. Keep practicing piano, you're doing really good!
...Take care of yourself. Smile a lot.
I love you forever,
Rachel Barbra Berry ✩
Caroline,
Hey girlfriend!
I always wanted to say that. It's what all the cool girls say, right?
Caro, you're the coolest girl I've ever had for a friend. I never imagined I can be friends with someone like you. Someone who is beautiful and popular and smart. You're the kind of girl I'd envy at school. I still do because you're not only amazing but you're strong and brave and the best friend anyone can ever hope for.
I'm sorry this is the only way I can say goodbye to you. If I had it my way I'd hug you a lot and say all of this in person.
You've been the best girl friend I can ever hope to find in anyone. I know it's not always easy for you but I want to say that I strongly believe you're going to win, find your happily ever after and be loved and joyful forever because you're just that kind of girl. You even look like a princess.
Keep smiling, you're like walking sunshine and Anatole could use sunshine, between you and me.
Thank you for being my friend, thank you for letting me know you. It's been an honor.
Keep walking on sunshine!
I love you a lot,
Rachel Barbra Berry ✩
Noah,
Well, I guess I left. This is weird for me to write down now. It's weird to think of leaving.
I'm glad you were here with me. Anatole was much easier to handle with friends and you've been my friend since the five minutes during which we dated, remember?
Us Jews have to stick together, right?
I think that very few people understand how amazing you are, Noah. I mean you're badass, sure, but you're also a good friend, a talented performer and a very sweet person.
Don't throw this away now, it's true!
I'm going to miss you a lot. You're in charge of glee club now, even if you're a few. Keep them singing because who knows? Some of us may return, better be prepared.
I trust you to run glee club and make it amazing. I also trust you to talk to Quinn more. I've seen the way you look at each other.
You're both my friends and I...wish you all the happiness. If it'll be with each other then it'll be even more awesome.
Take care, Noah, be safe, no nonsense ok?
And apologize to Stannis for his table!
With much love,
Rachel Barbra Berry ✩
Dean,
You're probably wondering what this is right? Well, I'm writing this in case I go home and not get to tell you goodbye.
You have the worst attitude in the world and you're rude and you hate Barbra which really needs to be fixed.
You're also all kinds of awesome. I'm not going to write lots of things here since you're probably rolling your eyes even now but...I want you to know that I think you're so cool and that even though you appear as rude you're anything but. I know you care a lot, you're just too badass to admit it. Maybe you should talk to Noah! He's kind of the same.
..I'm going to miss you, you know? I will. But I trust you'll be fine. Take care of Sam, try to be nicer to people! Not everyone can see through it like me, you know?
Thank you for being my friend. It means a lot to me, always will.
I think...I really think that if I wasn't an only child, I'd wish for a big brother like you. Sam is very lucky. I truly believe it.
I love you lots, don't forget!
Rachel Barbra Berry ✩
Renly,
Should it be lord Renly? Your Grace? I don't keep up!
This is hard for me to write. Just to think of how much I wanted to go back home when I arrived and now...I'm thinking about it and it's just hard. It means I won't get to see my friends, the family I made here, you.
Renly, you may not be king but I never doubted that you could have been an amazing king. You're more generous and cool and sweet and understanding than most people I've ever met. It's the loss of your world but it's a huge gain for Anatole. I swear, it holds some of the best people. You can show them now how noble can be also fashionable and awesome!
...You've taught me a lot. You're like my brother, you are my brother. I wish to you to have all the happiness in Anatole. To have everything you couldn't have at home, be with Loras, be happy, love each other and take care of each other as I know you are bound to do.
You guys were my favorite Anatole couple.
I can't tell you goodbye. I'm sorry. It's too hard. I'll just tell you I love you so much. I will miss you so much that it hurts even writing about it. You're going to do amazing things here and I only wish I could see them all.
Take care of Kurt, too, ok? I always knew you guys will get along.
Don't fight with your brothers. I know Robert is always drunk and Stannis is a bit difficult but I also know they both love you, just like me.
Forever your loyal subject and sister,
Rachel Barbra Berry ✩
Lord Stannis,
This is a goodbye letter of a sort. I'm not sure how goodbye letters need to be written in Westeros and I hope this one will be fine.
...I'm going to tell you a few things that I know you wouldn't have known how to handle but now it's goodbye and I'll never get another chance to tell you this.
I have two gay dads and one mother who I barely even know. That's two parents and a half, I guess. Anatole made it to three and I never felt more grateful to have so many fathers. I needed a parent when I got here. I don't need to tell you I am over emotional and annoying, sure, and I overreact. I suppose I needed someone to guide me to the right way whenever I took a wrong step and without even noticing, you did it for me. You've given me something I really needed in Anatole and I will never be able to thank you enough for what you've done for me.
So this is also a thank you. Thank you, for being my father figure and for caring and for teaching me priorities and the importance of seeing what's right and wrong.
I will miss you at home, even if I won't remember, I'm sure I will, maybe in dreams. You're a good father and you'll make a good king because you're honest and you're doing what's right, no matter what.
I can only hope to get it right too.
I wish you and Shireen all the happiness. As well as with Renly and Robert, they love you, you know. Especially Renly. I can just see it. You three have to sit down and talk, alcohol not involved, of course, seeing it's Robert.
I love you a lot. Thank you for everything,
Yours,
Rachel Barbra Berry ✩
Fai,
I'm writing this in case I go home so if you're reading this, I guess I'm already gone.
You say you smile too much. And I know that sometimes it's even easier than crying. I know. Show Must Go On and everything. But the thing is, I think that even without realizing it, you turned into someone who can cry and smile and comfort others. You're so much more than you think. You've been a friend to me, one of the best friends I had. I want to wish to you to grow even stronger, be able to express your feelings all the time. Maybe not in song but in words! I think you're amazing, I think you can do anything you've ever wanted.
It's been an honor knowing you, an honor being your friend. Be happy, Fai, smile for the right reasons, because you're feeling joyful and not just because you were told to.
I hope all of Anatole will be able to see your true smiles, which, like your true colors, are beautiful, like a rainbow.
I love you a lot and missing you already,
Rachel Barbra Berry ✩
Lelouch,
Hey...I guess this is goodbye, even though I don't really want it to be. I wanted to thank you, you've given me the chance I've always dreamed of. To stand on a stage in front of an audience and sing and inspire others. I've never dreamed I'd get something like this in Anatole and it's all thanks to you.
I hope you'll find a new star. I recommend Quinn and Kurt, both are amazing and can use the spotlight. I am certain they'll make you proud like I hope I did. You made me feel proud of myself and accomplished. You made me feel like the star I've always wanted to be.
Thank you, thank you so much. You've taught me a lot and I'm certain you'll teach the others too. They are lucky to have you, I was lucky as well.
Yours forever,
Rachel Barbra Berry ✩
Dear uncle Bobby,
I can't think of leaving without saying goodbye. It's just so wrong. You told me when Finn and Buffy left that they knew how much I loved them I don't want to leave any doubts, I want to go knowing you know how much I am grateful for you. You have helped me, supported me, musically and otherwise and gave me a feeling of family and of someone who will protect me if something will go wrong.
I can't thank you enough for it and for coming to my Seder!
I know you're teaching Noah. Take care of him, he's an amazing person, he just needs guidance and I'm certain you'll give him just what he needs.
Keep being awesome and be happy, rest a bit and eat healthy food. Ask Kurt, he's good with these kind of stuff.
I hope you'll go back home to singing sweet home Alabama all summer long!
(Get the reference?)
Love,
Rachel Barbra Berry ✩
Percy,
You're my newest letter. The last one I'm adding to the bunch. We talked a lot about leaving, didn't we? We also talked about dreams and you told me you have no time for dreams.
I hope you will, at least in Anatole. You're so cool and someone like you deserves a really beautiful dream to aspire to. I wish that you'll find it and more than that, I wish that it'll come true.
I'm really glad I got to know you and be your friend. There are musicals in Anatole so please go see one! At least one! You have time here and I have amazing friend who perform there. I only wish you got to see me up there, seeing my talent is extraordinary but what can you do.
Take care, Percy and be happy.
Find your dream and make it come true,
Yours,
Rachel Barbra Berry ✩
