A/N1: Hello lovely readers! This is for Jo the pretty woman and Dani my Sparkling diamond. Inspired by a prompt Jo sent to me but I put in my little twist by writing Rachel as Finn's nemesis – more fun, eh?

i.

"Good morning New York city! Today is going to be a fine Thursday, with the temperature at its best in April at around 54F, slightly cloudy, with a 5% chance of raining. To begin with today's show, we are delighted to welcome…"

Finn grabs the remote control to turn down the volume while absentmindedly eating his favorite cereals. His eyes dart towards the clock that reads 6.02am. See, he is not a morning person, but something woke him up early today. He normally doesn't believe in these intuition things, but he feels differently today. Something is about to happen – good or bad, he can't decide.

He leans back at his chair and closes his eyes, the sunlight spills on the floor and on his face. It is as if he was looking at the stars, he used to rub his eyes just to make the funny circles shine even brighter.

The sound of shoes clacking on the wooden floor pulls him away from his thought.

"Oh my god Finn, how could you do this? This is a designer shirt for heaven's sake, Isabelle gave this to me when she got back from that Versace show!"

"Good morning to you too, Kurt" – Finn groans and rolls his eyes – "Whattayawantat6inthemorning?"

"What? Please don't speak with your mouth full Finn" – Kurt picks up the shirt that was lying on the floor and tries to straighten it out by patting his hand on it.

"What Ta Ya Want?" – Finn opens his mouth wider, showing Kurt the full view of a food war going on inside.

Kurt rolls his eyes and points at him "I'm on my way to the airport but I've got something to …"

He can't finish his sentence as he sees a beautiful girl, dressed in a shirt that is too big to be hers walking down the stairs and comes up from behind Finn to wrap her arms around him, before planting a kiss on his neck and walks to the nearest bathroom.

Kurt eyes widen with surprise as he realizes his co-worker from Vogue:

"Trisha?"

Finn licks his lips, "Yes, Trisha".

" Oh my God Trisha McKenzie! What on earth is she doing here?"

Finn waves his hand at Kurt and rolls his eyes: "Kurt, calm down. I met her yesterday at your party and she spent the night here, there's no big deal about it."

"You… Finn…" – Kurt shakes his head and exhales loudly – "Anyway, as I was saying, you are attending a dance class, starting this Friday".

"Oh Kurt!" – Finn chuckles without looking up at Kurt, stirring his cereals – " Oh you are hilarious".

"No, I'm serious. You, above all others, need to attend this class. Blaine is also joining, to keep you companied."

Finn stares at Kurt as his mouth is wide opened, Kurt does nothing but stares back at him.

"Kurt, why on Earth would I want to attend a dance class? My dancing skills are not that horrible."

Kurt raises one of his eyebrows and throws Finn a "Really?Are You Sure Because Last Time I Checked You Fell On Your Butt Trying To Dance" look.

Finn throws his arms up defeatedly, "Okay fine, my dancing skills are horrible, but why would I need to perfect that now?"

"Because, my dear giant brother, as you've already known, my wedding is 1 month from now, and you are my best man, and we have a dance together. And I will not let you embarrass yourself and me in front of our guests when you fall on your butt again" – Kurt puts the shirt down and walks towards the door – "Besides, my friend who is going to be your dance instructor is in need of decent money, so, this is going to help you both. She needs one more student to open this class and you happen to be just that. It's a win-win situation".

"Kurt, I am not taking dance lessons" – Finn stands up, pointing at himself with both his hands.

"Yes, oh yes you are Finn." – Kurt takes a closer look at the shirt before turning around and heading towards the door.

"I can't afford it."

"Finn, we both know that's a lie because you make more money than I do but I'll pay for this course."

"I don't have time for this."

"If you have time to crash parties and sleep with a different girl every two days I'm sure you have time, Finn."

"I can't feel my legs."

"Finn, you are attending this course, that's that, okay?"

"Well at least tell me if she's hot or not?"

"Stop sleeping with my colleagues Finn, it's so predictable and typical of you" is the last thing Kurt says before disappearing behind the door.

ii.

"This is not going to work."

Finn mutters to himself as he stands in front of the building – it's quite nice to be fair, in a very way with Oxford red bricks and a Broadway-like sign that reads "Shall We Dance?" - which he has to enter, in which he will meet his dance instructor and in which his nightmare will slowly but surely become reality.

"Ah now, now future brother-in-law, I'm sure you'll be fine! Besides, don't you know the girl though? Kurt said you were going to be so surprised when you saw your dance instructor!" – Blaine puts a hand on Finn's shoulder and gives him a little squeeze – "Let's do this!"

"Well, let's hope she's hot then" – Finn mumbles before following Blaine inside the building.

iii.

The first thing Finn takes notice of in the dance studio is that it is very bright, light is invading the room from every where possible. The walls are decorated with black and white photos, probably of famous ballets and dance acts from around the world. He looks to the next room and sees a bunch of girls doing all the jumpy ballet routines that make his eyes go wide with amazement – and to be honest, he kinda feels intimidated.

Blaine is already warming up, looking too excited and determined for his own good, so he makes himself busy by walking around the studio and gives things a closer look. That is when he notices the plaque on the wall that says "New York Annual Ballet Showcase 2009 – Second Place – Rachel Berry of NYADA".

"Rachel Berry?" – Finn squints his eyes at the name as he tries to remember why it sounds so familiar.

"Give it back! Give it back to me!"

"No! This is mine, I saw it first!"

"I was the first one to run to it! Give it back!"

He tries his best to tug the last cupcake from the little girl who is clearly stronger than she appears to be, all of his attempts seem to be in vain.

"Okay, okay, knock it off, cut it out you two!" – Miss Pilsberry runs towards the two enemies who are very close to a full-on battle for the cupcake with a concerned and some what amused look on her face- "Finn Hudson, Rachel Berry! Stop right now!". She finally manages to interrupt the fight by pulling the back of Rachel's rosy dress and Finn's plaid shirt's sleeve.

"What is this? I left you the room for two minutes and this happens?"

"She's stealing my cupcake!" –Finn narrows his eyes and points at Rachel.

"What? That is not true! Miss Pilsberry" – Rachel turns towards their favorite teacher, her voice loud and clear, her way of speech clearly is beyond her year – " With all my respect, I'm not calling him a liar, but that is not true. It is the exact opposite of what happened. If anything, he was trying to take what is obviously mine!"

Miss Pilsberry sighs and rubs her forehead, bending to get closer to the two kids who are very close to continuing the fight. "Guys, we've discussed this, haven't we? Sharing is caring, remember?"

"I'm not sharing this with her!"

"And I refuse to share this with him! He has eaten too much already, I saw him eating Mike's dessert!"

"He said I could have it!"

"You're gonna be as big as a rhino someday!"

"At least I don't have cooties!"

Rachel gasps, her eyes go wide with anger: "You take that back! I don't have cooties!"

And with that, Finn and Rachel are back with their never ending fight.

"Hello" – Someone taps on his shoulder – "You're my new student and one of Kurt's friends, right?"

He slowly turns around. Standing in front of him , not so much taller since the last time he saw her – which was approximately 9 years ago – is Rachel Berry. Rachel Berry, the girl who made his childhood as intolerable as possible.

Seriously.

If people could doodle his thoughts right now, it would be a picture of gibberish and messy lines and symbols representing curse words you always see in comics.

And judging by her expression, she's thinking the same thing when she realizes who he is.

"Kurt has a lot of explaining to do" – She says finally, after what seems like forever.
