He high fived the running back and ran to the side lines where a few cheerleaders hugged him. A girl in the stands even took off her shirt and threw it at him. From across the field, Puck gave him the thumbs up. The team walked into the dugout and ran to their water bottles. The groups that had the chance to hang out with the team were getting autographs from everybody. "Good game, Hudson!"
"What?" Finn turned.
"I said good game, bro! You okay? You seemed out of it earlier." Puck smirked.
"Oh…yeah, sorry about that, it's just my mom's coming to town. I haven't seen her much in the last few years and we used to be really close. I think we're going to see Wicked."
"Dude, the chic who's playing the lead was at our game tonight. You should meet her. Rachel Berry, I think. Her mom apparently played the lead in the original version, Shelby Corcoran. But the good part is that the other lead is played by Quinn Fabray and she's smokin'!" Puck explained.
"Cool, I guess I'll find out tomorrow." Finn finished the conversation. "And dude, you make another comment about Quinn and I swear I'm going to knock you out because it's annoying and I'm sick of hearing you whine about her."
"Cool, so are you coming to Smash tonight?" Puck asked, ignoring the part about Quinn.
"It's a game night tradition, bro! Let's hit the road!" He laughed. Soon they were at the most famous karoke bar in New York City. A girl with wavy, brunette hair stepped onstage and smiled. By this time, Finn and Puck were so drunk they couldn't think.
"Hello, I'm Rachel Berry! Let's rock!" The girl screamed into the microphone. Finn started to think. Rachel Berry…where have I heard that name before?
Rachel:

Thank God the week is done,I feel like a zombiE gone back to life (ba-back to life)

By this point, the whole club was singing with her. Before he knew it, Finn was running onto the stage and began singing with this mysterious girl.
Finn:

The music slowly stopped and soon Rachel and Finn were high fiving each other and hugging. "That was awesome!" She laughed. "I'm Rachel!"
"Finn!" And that was the last Finn saw of Rachel. Until the next day.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
She looked beautiful on the stage. Sure her face was painted green and she was dressed like a witch, but she still looked beautiful. Finn yawned. Then he realized something…Rachel…her voice…
Rachel:
I'm limited
Just look at me - I'm limited
And just look at you
You can do all I couldn't do, Glinda
So now it's up to you
For both of us - now it's up to you...
"Mom, can I see the program for a second?" Finn whispered to his mom.
"Sure," She handed him the program and on the cover was Rachel standing next to the girl he recognized as Quinn Fabray with a big smile on her green face.
"I know her," He told his mom.
"Elphaba?"
"Yeah, that's Rachel Berry. I met her at a karoke bar last night!" He quietly said to his mother.
"Great." She smiled and went back to listening to Rachel singing.
After the show, Finn managed to push through a few security guards and find Rachel's dressing room. "Rachel?"
"Yeah?"
"Can I come in?"
"Um…I guess so." She mumbled.
"Hi, I'm Finn; did we meet at Smash last night?" He decided to ask first before coming off as a crazy person.
"Right…we sang together! I remember you!" She smiled.
"Do you have any plans tomorrow night?" He asked suddenly.
"Um…not really, why?"
"Can I take you to dinner?" He suggested nervously.
"Why not? Sounds fun." Rachel smiled.
"Cool, should I pick you up?"
"Sure, here's my address," She pulled a note out of her pocket and wrote down her address and phone number.
"Cool, how about seven?" He asked.
"Um…can we make it eight? I'm busy from five to 7:30." She realized she had another show and wouldn't be done until then.
"Cool, I'll see you at eight!" He smiled before leaving the room.
