Hey guys! So I had this idea for a one-shot involving the Titanic and Finchel (But of course, with twists). I hope you guys like. Let me know what you think!


Rachel Berry stood out of her car and looked up at the boat right in front of her.

Yes, it was beautiful and big. But all boats looked a lot like it. She didn't really see the big deal with this one. Rachel thoughts were interrupted when she heard a familiar voice speak to her.

"What do you think Rachel? Isn't it a thing of beauty?"

Rachel turned to the stranger who just happened to big her fiancé, Brody Weston, a smile came to her lips.

"I don't really see what all of the fuss is about. It's not any bigger than the other boats we've seen."

Brody chuckled and grabbed Rachel's hand and tucked it into his arm as he started to lead her to the boat.

"You don't know what you're talking about Rachel. Titanic is the biggest ship ever made. It's never been used before and you are in for a real treat." Brody turned to look at Rachel's fathers who were walking right next to Rachel. "Your daughter is hard to impress Mr. and Mr. Berry."

Brody had paid for her, Rachel's fathers, Hiram and Leroy, and his handyman Jessie Saint James and himself to go first class on Titanic.

Hiram and Leroy looked at each other and chuckled. "You up for the challenge of trying to please her?"

"Daddy! Papa!" Rachel exclaimed.

"Relax Rachela, we are just teasing you. I think your Papa and I raised you right," Hiram said gently while holding Rachel's other arm.

It was true. Even though Rachel was given everything she could ever want because she and her family and fiancé were wealthy, she never felt spoiled.

"Yes papa. You did." Rachel said quietly.

With smiles from her fathers, they all started walking to board the Titanic.


Finn Hudson ran up to look up at the Titanic. Wow, it was HUGE! Finn had been a row boats, but not a ship like this!

"Finn Hudson!"

Finn turned to see his younger step-brother Kurt Hummel running up to him. Once he managed to catch up with him, Kurt bent over to catch his breath. Then he spoke again.

"I swear to god, Finn Hudson. You know I hate running. Its messes up my hair."

Finn chuckled. "Sorry dude. But little exercise won't do you any problems."

Kurt gave him a stern glare. "Not when you're wearing something that's not suitable for running." Kurt motioned to his dress suit. "Unlike you, all you wear are plaid shirts and jeans."

Finn smiled. "I like what I wear Kurt."

Kurt sighed and shook his head. "You are lucky I love you Finn Hudson, but seriously, when we get to New York and I open my own clothing shop, I'm giving you a makeover."

Finn Hudson had managed to get two third class tickets from a lucky game of poker just a half an hour ago. Right after he had won them, Finn ran home and told Kurt to pack everything and they left their dinky little apartment that they were barely able to afford. They were traveling in third class. Finn didn't seem to care. Kurt was just happy that the beds weren't used before. They were both hoping for a new start in New York.

Finn groaned. "Whatever man, let's go!" Finn then ran off.

"Finn! Wait for me!" Kurt then ran after him.


Once everyone was boarded, Titanic sailed off. Rachel did a few waves from her place on the ship and then went to her room. There was plenty of room for decorating. Rachel started putting pictures of Broadway on them. She had longed to be a Broadway star. That was the main reason why she was going to New York. That, and she wanted a new start. Nothing wrong with that, now is there?

"What do you think you're doing?"

Rachel turned and saw Brody leaning against the doorframe. He had a wine glass and he took a couple of sips from it. "You're not supposed to be doing labor. Let the maids do it!" Brody then turned to see a Latina making up the bed. "You girl! Help my fiancé with these pictures. NOW!" Brody ordered.

The Latina quickly went over to Rachel and yanked the picture out of Rachel's hand. She had a name tag that read: Santana. Santana then quickly and expertly hung up all of the pictures that Rachel had on the walls.

"Good. Now, get lost." Brody said coldly as he approached Rachela and wrapped an arm around her.

Rachel shoot an apologetic look to Santana and the Latina looked at Rachel and nodded her head. Rachel could have sworn that she saw Santana have her hands in fist as she walked out and shut the door.

Brody then started looking at the pictures and shook his head. "Rachel, do you think you have enough pictures of Broadway?" Brody said with a cry chuckled.

Rachel put her hands on her hips and shook her head. "No. No I don't. Cause there is no such thing as too much Broadway Brody Weston."

Brody snorted and went over to Rachel and gave her a quick kiss on the lips. "Whatever you say Rachel Berry. I'm going to get more wine." With that said, Brody left.

Rachel then looked around her room and sighed. She really wish that Brody would support her more in what she wanted to do. She always supported him in his career as a business man but Brody thought it was childish of Rachel to love Broadway so much.


"Finn! Over here! I found our room!"

Finn quickly changed the direction he was at and quickly made it over to Kurt. Their room was small. It had two bunk bed and a small bathroom in the corner. They saw that two men already filled one bunk. A man with a mo-hawk and young blonde headed man.

The man with the mo-hawk and the blonde headed man looked up from what they were doing when they heard the door open. The man with the mo-hawk stood up and offered his hand.

"What's up dudes? My name's puck and this is my friend Sam Evans." Sam then stood up and went by puck.

Finn and Kurt offered their hands to shake.

"Puck? Is that your real name?"

Puck shook his head. "No. My name's actually Noah. Noah Joseph Puckerman. But everyone calls me Puck."

"Why?" Kurt asked.

Puck smirked. "It's more bad-ass."

Sam then spoke. Well, Puck and I are sharing this bunk. You guys can decide on who gets what on that one.

Kurt immediately went to top bunk and started taking out his clothes and putting them on hangers. Leaving Finn with the top bunk.

"Who says you get top bunk, huh?" Finn complained.

Kurt shot him a glare. "Because you have huge genes that's why Finn." He said in a matter-of-fact voice.

Kurt then turned to put some clothes into the closet they were offered. It was tight, but he managed to put everything single piece of clothing into it.

Puck smirked. "Think you got enough clothes, Kurt. You have just as much clothes like the ladies."

"It's never too late to upgrade your fashion style. Puck. I hope to open my own clothing store and sell clothes that I make." Kurt said standing proud.

Puck snorted. "If you say so, Petunia."

Finn and Sam chuckled at the actions between Kurt and Puck. Finn had a feeling that this trip was going to be something interesting with having Puck and Sam as his roommates.


It was now time for dinner. Rachel really wasn't in the mood to eat thought. But of course, she went. She didn't want to be a diva in front of a huge crowd even though she loved attention.

Rachel was wearing a red long dress with thin straps. Her hair was pinned up with her bangs hanging down.

Brody then came into her dressing room and smirked at the view of his fiancé. "Well aren't you beautiful."

Rachel gave him a small smile. "Thank you. You look very handsome yourself."

Brody smirked. "I always do don't I?"

Rachel forced to herself a smile on her face. Sure, Brody was very handsome. But he could act a little bit more humble. With thought in mind, Rachel and Brody left for dinner.

A few hours later after dinner, Rachel found herself running across the boat to get to the deck. Tears were streaming down her face as ran into a blonde head woman with short hair. The woman huffed and yelled back at Rachela s she ran.

"Watch where you're going Mrs. Focker!"

Rachel ignored her and after another minute of running, she made it to the deck and she slowed down. She slowly made her way to the end of the boat and looked down at the waves. They were very gentle.

Rachel slowly slipped her legs across the railings of the ships and looked down at the waves again. They were rougher because they were by the engines that was making the boat move. Rachel held in her breath and was about to let go when a voice stopped her thoughts.

"Don't do it!"

Rachel turned around and her mouth dropped in shock. There she saw a VERY tall man with dark brown hair and freckled with amber eyes who were furrowed in concern and worry and he looked at her. He was a good looking young man.

But before Rachel could think anymore. She said. "Stay where you are! Don't come any closer to me whoever you are." The man still made his way over to her which made Rachel angry. "I mean it! I'll let go!" She yelled.

The man stopped when he was about a foot in front of her. His amber eyes still looking very concerned. He then shook his head.

"No you won't." He said in a quiet, husky voice that sent shivers up Rachel's spin.

Rachel ignored it and looked at Finn meanly. "You don't know a thing about me! Don't assume what I will or will not do!"

The man then stepped closer. "Miss, you won't do it. If you did, you would have done it already." The man then stopped and stepped aside and leaned against the railing to look at Rachel's face. "Let me tell you. Water that cold will hit you and you'll feel like you've been stabbed many times. It's not fun. I fell into water that cold once and I thought I was gonna die."

The man then offered his hand. "Miss, you don't want to do this. It's not worth trying to kill yourself. Think about the people who you would hurt if something bad happened to you."

Rachel thought about her fathers and friends. They would be devastated. She then slowly lifted one of her hands and grabbed the man's hand and she slowly turned around. She found herself gazing into his amber eyes.

The man gave her a half smile. "I'm Finn Hudson."

His voice sent shivers down her spine again. "Rachel Berry."

With that said, Finn helped her over the railing. Rachel then looked up at Finn and gave him a small smile. She then shook his hand and said a quiet "Thank you." After a minute of shaking hands, it clicked to her that she was still holding on to his hand. Rachel's cheeks blushed. With a nod of her head, she quickly ran back to her room, ignoring those tingles she felt from holding his hand for that long.


The next day, Rachel found herself looking for Finn Hudson again. She wanted to thank him more properly. And she really wanted to get to know him. Rachel didn't have any friends coming along on this ship. It wasn't wrong for her to try to be friends with the person that saved her life, right? He deserved at least a thank you.

Rachel walked down the hallway of the third class. She got a lot of looks from people as she made her way through. Then she bumped into someone that made her fall backwards. But she didn't hit the ground. She felt two strong hands steady her. When she looked up, she saw a familiar set of amber eyes.

"I guess we meet again." Finn said.

Rachel nodded her and tried to focus the shivers that once again went down her spine as he held her. "I guess so."

Finn's eyes darkened and he let go of her and starred at her. "Did you need something?"

Rachel nodded her head. "Can I talk to you for a little bit?" She asked quietly.

Finn nodded his head. He then turned to Kurt who was with him. Kurt had not taken his eyes off of his brother and the young woman interacting with each other. Kurt got the hint and he left.

"Let's go take a walk up on the deck." Finn said.

Rachel bit her lip and nodded and then followed him up the stairs to the deck.

Once they managed to get up at the deck, Rachel turned to Finn.

"Look Mr. Hudson..." Rachel said before she was interrupted.

"Finn. You can call me Finn Miss Berry."

Rachel gave him a small smile. "All right. Ok. And you can call me Rachel then." Rachel took a deep breath before continuing. "Look Finn, I wanted to say thank you for yesterday. I don't know what came over me." Rachel then turned her head. She felt tears coming and she wasn't about to have another crying scene in front of a man she hardly knew.

Finn, however walked over to where Rachel was looking so he could look at her. He ducked his head to see her face. "What happened?" His eyes had furrowed in concern.

Rachel starred at him. Then she felt her words come out of her mouth one by one without any chance of stopping it. "It was…it was everything. I'm only 18 and I'm getting married practically by force. I'm feeling so pressure to try and please everyone." Rachel felt tears burn in her eyes but she continued. "I just feel like they are watching me and if I make one move….they'll disown me."

Rachel breathed. She then felt her cheeks blush. She never had a big moment like that. Not in her life. It was always "Be on your best behavior Rachel" or "Rachel, that's not the way you should act." But during that moment, Rachel didn't care.

Rachel then looked up at Finn Hudson. His eyes were softened. He rubbed the back of his neck. He looked a little nervous. Rachel found it rather cute. But then Finn Hudson asked question.

"So you're getting married…by force?"

Rachel nodded. It was true. Her fathers had invested in a company, but unfortunately, they lost everything they owned after a man they had set up the investment with wasn't honest and took their money. There was no way to get it back. So her fathers had found Brody and after hearing he was rich, they decided to introduce Rachel to him. After a few months of what you can say "dating" Brody and her fathers told her that she would be getting married to him.

"I am." Rachel then showed her the ring.

Finn looked at and looked back up at her. There was so many emotions going through his eyes that she couldn't even make out. Then he spoke again.

"Do you love him?"

Rachel blinked. "Excuse me?"

"Do you love him?" Finn said with haste.

Rachel glared at him. "Finn, you're being rude. That's not your place to ask me that."

Finn shrugged his shoulders and stared at her. "Rach, from the way that you acted earlier, it sounds to me that either you're not happy with the arranged marriage or you're not happy with the guy. Or both. Which is it?"

Rachel felt her cheeks blush under Finn's stare. Rachel didn't know what her feeling were for Brody. But she wouldn't let Finn know that.

Rachel then turned to walk away and turned to look at him. "We're not having this conversation at all Finn Hudson. I came to thank you and now I have so I'll be leaving."

She heard Finn's chuckle. Then with courage she didn't know she had, she turned to face him again. "You are so annoying!" She exclaimed.

Finn then quickly ran over to her and grabbed her wrist. Rachel immediately felt tingles up her arm when he grabbed it. She turned around. Finn eyes were dark on her. "Rachel. Please don't leave."

Rachel looked down. "Why?"

Finn smiled. "You sound like you need a friend to talk too based on what I've seen and heard."

Seriously why does Finn read her so well? Rachel relaxed a little and then gave him a smile. Finn gave her a half grin, revealing his dimple. "So tell me, what brings you on this ship? What do you want to do in New York?"

Rachel beamed at him. "Oh! I have one big dream…and that's to be on Broadway."

Finn then led Rachel to a seat and then proceeded listen about Rachel's goal for New York.


A few hours later, Finn and Rachel were still talking. They talked about everything and anything. They talked about their families and friends and shared some funny stories about them. Finn had also mentioned how his mom and step-dad had died in a car accident when he was little and how his father had died when he was a baby. Both Finn and Rachel realized how easy it was to talk to one another and not be judged by each other. They just found a joy to be in each other's presence.

They both were continued talking until a voice reached behind them.

"Rachel! There you are. You need to get ready for dinner."

Rachel turned and saw Brody there all dressed up in his tux. Brody then turned to Finn. He gave Finn a rather disgusted/interested look. But Rachel knew how Brody felt about people who were poor. He hated them.

"Rachel, who is this." Brody said gesturing his head to Finn.

Rachel cleared his throat. "Well, Brody this is my friend Finn. Finn Hudson."

"Nice to meet you Brody." Finn said offering his hand.

Brody hesitated for a long moment before he shook his hand and gave him a fake smile.

"Brody Weston. Nice to meet you."

Brody starred at Finn for a moment after letting go of Finn's hand. Rachel could see that Brody was thinking something. She just didn't know what. Until he spook again.

"Finn, why don't you join us for dinner?"

Rachel eyes widened in shock. Did Brody just ask Finn eat with them? Why?

Finn also had a look of surprise. He then turned to Rachel and she nodded her head. Finn then looked back at Brody and nodded.

"Yeah, man. I'll be there."

Brody nodded and the grabbed Rachel's hand and tugged her out of the seat and started walking.

Rachel looked back at Finn. "See you at dinner Finn."

Finn nodded and then left.


"Finn Hudson! No! You cannot wear that."

Finn looked away from the mirror and looked at his step brother with his arms folded across his chest. Finn mentioned to Kurt that was invited to a first class dinner. Kurt had volunteered (well practically forced) Finn to show him what he was planning on wearing.

"Kurt I don't have anything really nice to wear."

Kurt grinned. "Ahhh, well lucky for you, I had this made." Kurt then reached into a dresser and pulled out a box and handed it to him."

When Finn gave Kurt a questionable look. Kurt said "Just open it Finn." Finn did what he was told and he saw a tux folded neatly in the box.

Finn turned to Kurt with wide eyes, but Kurt simply smiled. "I was going to give you that for your 19th birthday tomorrow. But considering the circumstances of this dinner, I though tonight would be perfect."

Finn quickly changed into the tux. It was just his size. Kurt helped out with the tie.

Finn smiled. "You're the best brother ever."

Kurt shrugged him shoulders and chuckled. "I know."

Finn then turned to leave but then Kurt stopped him. "So why are you going to this dinner for Finn?"

"It's nothing Kurt. I was invited." He really didn't want to tell Kurt that Rachel's fiancé invited him. He never really told Kurt about Rachel at all.

Of course, Kurt didn't believe Finn's explanation. "Finn, come on. What's the real reason?"

Finn rubbed the back of his neck nervously. "Rachel's fiancé invited me."

Kurt's eyes went huge. "Finn, was that the same girl that wanted to talk to you in the hallway?" When Finn nodded, Kurt gave him a look of concern. "Finn, are you sure you want to do this? First class people aren't really friendly. What if you get hurt by her fiancé?"

"Kurt, I'm not going for him. I'm going for Rachel."

Kurt then studied Finn very closely. "You like her don't you?"

Finn looked away. "I don't know what you're talking about."

Kurt then shrieked. "Oh my god! You like her! Finn do you know what you're getting yourself into!?"

Finn then turned to Kurt and growled low into his throat. "Kurt be quiet. We don't need the whole ship hearing that." It was true. Finn felt that he was starting to get some feelings for Rachel Berry. But what to do about them, he didn't know. Only time would tell.

Kurt then calmed down. "Finn, I don't want you to get hurt."

Finn gave Kurt a soft smile. "I don't think I will be. I trust Rachel."

Kurt relented but nodded his head. "I'll be here if you need me okay?"

With a nod, Finn left. He was surely in for an interesting evening. To say the least.


The dinner was…interesting. Brody and Rachel's fathers had been the ones to ask a lot of different questions to Finn. Ones such as what career he wanted to do in New York (he wanted to be a teacher. Which Brody thought was a woman's job. Rachel smiled at Finn's answer.) Where he lived and who he lived with, and about his family and friends. When Finn answered each of those questions, Brody always made some kind of rude smart comment which made Rachel give him many cold stare and shocked looks. When Brody wasn't looking, Rachel would send Finn apologetic looks and small smile as if to say "I'm sorry my fiancé is being terrible to you." Finn, in return, half smiled at her.

At the end of dinner, Brody and Rachel's father stood got up. They were going to go into another room for a drink and talk some business. Brody then went behind Rachel and put his hands on her shoulders and ducked to her ear. "Do you want me to escort you back to the room?"

Rachel shook her head. "No, I'll stay here."

Brody nodded and then turned to Finn and gave him a fake smile. "It was nice of you to join of Finn Hudson. Have a good night", and then he left.

When Brody was out of clear sight, Finn went over to Rachel and offered his hand.

Rachel's eyes widened in question. "Finn what are you doing?"

Finn smiled. "Come with me. I want to take you somewhere."

Rachel sighed. "Are you sure?"

Finn smiled again. "You have some time to spare don't you?"

Rachel looked around as if she didn't want to see anyone grabbed his hand and then turned back. With a nod, Rachel grabbed his hand.


Finn led her to a bar that had performers performing music. Rachel eyes widened and a huge smile formed on her lips. She had never been to a bar like this before. Mostly because her fathers or Brody told her it wasn't suitable.

She turned to Finn with a big smile. "Finn! This is amazing!"

Finn smiled. "I'm glad you like it."

Rachel of course, thought this was the perfect time to perform. She loved performing. "IS there a way, I can perform up there?" She asked quietly.

Finn smiled and nodded his head. "Just go up there and tell the piano player what you want to sing."

Rachel quickly made it up there and whispered into his ear. She then made her way up to the microphone. With a nod to the piano player, Rachel started to sing.

"Oh my man, I love him so.

He'll never know.

All my life is despair,

But I don't care.

When he takes me in his arms,

The world I bright, alright."

Finn watched in awe from where he was standing. Rachel's voice was so beautiful and powerful at the same time. He also noticed how everyone else looked as if they were in a trance.

Finn didn't even realize that Kurt had snuck up behind him and was in a state of awe as he watch her as well.

When she finished, everyone gave her a standing ovation. Rachel beamed at the audience and bowed and accepted the ovation.

"Wow, she is so talented." Kurt said.

Finn quickly turned around. "Whoa, dude you scared me."

Kurt smiled. "Sorry Finn."

Rachel by then had made her way through the crowd and over to Finn and sat down beside and squealed. "Oh my gosh! Finn! Did you see me? Was it good or great? I thought it was great. I mean, I have talent."

Finn chuckled. He then learned then that Rachel did have a lot of confidence in herself when she was encouraged. He definitely wanted to see that side of her more.

Rachel then turned over to look at Kurt and stopped talking. "Hello! Did you like the performance?"

Kurt beamed at her. "It was fabulous! You surely have talent!"

Rachel looked at him for a moment. Then something clicked. "You were that guy that was with Finn when I was looking for him."

Kurt smiled. "Yes, that was me. I'm Kurt. Finn's step-brother."

Rachel smiled and offered her hand to shake. "Well Mr. Kurt Hummel, it's lovely to meet you."

Kurt took both of her hand in both of his. "Likewise Rachel. But really you should be on Broadway. You would do great."

Rachel laughed a little. "I actually plan on being on Broadway when I get to New York City."

Kurt eyes widened at the new information. "Oh my god! We have so much to discuss. I love Broadway as much as I love fashion!"

Finn groaned as Rachel giggled. Finn had a feeling that he was going to have to share Rachel with Kurt from now on.

All three of them talked and drank some cheap beer for a couple of hours. They all enjoyed each other's company and had lots of laughs and stories.

Kurt had decided he wanted to sing. While Kurt was singing, Rachel had her head leaned on Finn's shoulder as exhaustion had hit her.

Little did they know that Jessie Saint James, Brody's handy man, was watching them the entire time.


I thought about doing this as a one shot, but then I thought it would be good for you guys to see if you guy's liked it. This story will only have about 2 or three parts. Haven't decided. Let me know if you want anything to happen. I have quite the storyline planned for this! Finchel will be happening soon! I promise!
