Hi, guys! It´s me again and with another Finchel story that I´m sure you´re going to like it so much and I continue it as with the other story. This time the twist is different and now you see why…
Chapter 1.-Prologue
Rachel Barbra Berry was an ordinary and beautiful girl who had big dreams and desires, but of course being in a small town like McKinley, she barely had time to daydream, she had to focus on being in all school clubs to distract herself for a while and especially not think of boys precisely she was writing something in her diary when a voice brought her back to reality
"Rachel? Rachel" a handsome man with curly hair and blue eyes turned to call the distracted girl while everyone in the choir room turned to her.
"sorry, Mr. Schuester" Rachel answered shyly and closed her notebook. "you were saying something?"
"we are waiting for your solo" Mr. Schuester said gently. "well, if you´re ready"
Rachel nodded, got up from her chair, putting her notebook on it and walked to the middle of the choir room. Mr. Schue sat next to a nice and cheerful brown haired cheerio which was leaned her head on the shoulder of another boy who also was a cheerleader and was like her physically.
(The music started and Rachel closed her eyes to concentrate, when she started singing she did it with a beautiful and melodious voice, but with a very powerful voice for her being so tiny)
Rachel:
Somehow I know I will find a way
To a brighter day in the sun
Somewhere I know that he waits for me
Someday soon he'll see I'm the one
I won't give up on this feeling
And nothing could keep me away
'Cause I still believe in destiny
That you and I were meant to be
I still wish on the stars as they fall from above
'Cause I still believe, believe in love
New directions girls (back-up vocals:
La, la, la, la
La, la, la,
La, la
Rachel:
I know what's real cannot be denied
Although it may hide for a while
With just one touch love can calm your fears
Turning all your tears into smiles
It's such a wondrous feeling
I know that my heart can't be wrong
'Cause I still believe in destiny
That you and I were meant to be
I still wish on the stars as they fall from above
'Cause I still believe, believe in love
Enough to make miracles change everything
Lift you from the darkness and make your heart sing
Love is forever when you fall
It's the greatest power of all
Oh I still believe in destiny
That you and I were meant to be
I still wish on the stars as they fall from above
'Cause I still believe, believe in love
Yes, I still believe, believe in love
I still believe in love!
I still believe, believe in love
The petite girl just finished singing and everyone stood to applaud, she simply smiled back at them and wiped away a tear that threatened to flood her eyes. Without saying anything, she sat up down in the chair and placed her notebook on her lap.
"That was very beautiful, Rachel" a blond girl (who was also a cheerleader) said with a smile. "Lord Tubbington really liked your performance, he actually loves the Cinderella movie and is friends with the mice" the rest of the kids turned to see the innocent girl, after all she wasn´t really smart.
"Thank you, Brittany" Rachel answered politely to the cheerleader. "I know I always sing songs of Broadway but…this song moved me from the depts. of my heart and I wanted to cry"
Mr. Schuester with a smile got up from the chair, walked to the white board and wrote in capital letters: "DISNEY", then glanced at his students while girls were excited others made disgusted faces.
"Disney, really?" a Mohawk boy asked raising an eyebrow. "I prefer songs of Van Halen"
"Shut it, Puckerman" a pretty and beautiful Latina girl said. "The fact that you want, but sometimes I think you pretend to be the bad guy in school doesn´t mean that all we want to do the same as you, actually I must confess that Disney movies are my guilty pleasure"
"Preach, Santana" a boy in wheelchair and glasses raised his hand. "My favorite Disney movie is Bug´s life"
"High School Musical" the cheerios twins said at unison smiling and then shook their fingers together. "Twinning"
"Okay, guys" Mr. Schuester said putting the lid on the marker and stared at them. "after watching Rachel´s solo and considering that in two weeks will be the sectionals, your week´s assignment is to find a Disney song with which you identify and share it with the rest of the class, you can choose a Disney classic like "Lady and the Tramp" until recently as "Enchanted"
The bell rang and all the kids rushed to leave the choir room, Rachel took her notebook and decided to think of the next Disney song she would sing for the next week, she walked through the halls to keep her notebook in her locker when the bubbly cheerleader walked behind her
"Hey, Rachel, wait up" the girl called her name and Rachel turned around. "I just wanted to say that your song in glee club was super awesome"
"Well…I´m glad to hear that, Madison" Rachel replied shutting her locker. "Have you thought about a song for the week´s assignment?"
"Mason and I will do a duet" Madison said excitedly and clapping. "What I´ve looking for from High School Musical"
"That´s weird, you know? You remind me of Ryan and Sharpay" Rachel said and Madison simply bowed.
"Coincidentally, they are our role models and we aspire to be like them" Madison said smiling brightly. "Every Sunday we have karaoke night if you want to come, will be fun"
"Well, I have to go" Rachel said hanging her backpack. "See you tomorrow"
The hours passed and she decided to relax a bit taking advantage of her dads were away and her cousin Quinn Fabray arrive in a few minutes and come to live with her because she had been transferred from school. Rachel went outside and sat on a bench.
Looks like we made it, look how far we´ve come baby, we mighta took the long way, we knew we´d get there someday" Rachel sang a Shania Twain song she didn´t realize that a handsome boy was smiling at her and listening to her, he was wet and shirtless into the water in the pool and resting his face in his hands. However, she stopped feeling that someone was watching and got nervous.
"Please don´t stop" the boy said with a beautiful voice which made Rachel paralyzed in her seat. "your voice…is the most beautiful thing I´ve ever heard"
"Wait a minute" this time Rachel sounded upset and walked to the edge of the pool. "Who the hell are you and what are you doing in my pool? Get out before I blow my rape whistle"
"I can´t leave the water" the boy replied, looking at her. "I didn´t mean to scare you, Rachel"
"How do you know my name is Rachel" she asked intrigued but then remembered her necklace saying her name and calmed down a bit, thereupon she turned to the handsome boy with freckles and goofy smile. "Why you can´t leave the water? And tell me the truth"
"You´d better see it for yourself, but promise me that no matter what, don´t freak out, okay?" the boy said taking her hand and she nodded, he disappeared into the water for a moment and suddenly a blue navy tail looked out on the surface, Rachel covered her mouth with her hand and stepped back to keep from screaming. The handsome boy was not fully human and he turned out to be half fish or rather a male mermaid. He poked his head and swam to her, his tail splashing in the process. When he touched the edge of the pool, he saw she stepped back in fear. "This is what I am, Rachel and I promise I won´t hurt you"
Rachel felt sympathy for that perfect creature, she smiled sweetly and approached him, sitting on the floor, she held out her hand and he takes it, the both of them feeling a strange magic in their fingers.
"Sorry for almost freaking out" Rachel said looking out and then at him. "I didn´t know that you were a mermaid"
"The correct term is merman" the boy responded by giving his signature half grin. "But no problem, I guess you´ve never seen either of us"
"Honestly no" Rachel admitted passing a strand behind her ear. "I mean…my dads have always been obsessed with mermaids and mythical creatures for years, they think they should be exhibited in a museum and I never believed in them because I thought they were fictitious"
"You have two dads?" he asked curiously and she nodded, after a minute the boy noticed that Rachel can´t stop watching his tail. "This is something new for you, huh?"
"You have no idea" Rachel replied still looking at his tail and shyly she was extended her hand. "Do you mind if I touch it"
"I´m Finn" the boy replied with a smile. "If you don´t know my name by the way and…I´ll let you touch my tail if I can touch your foot"
"This is a bribe?" Rachel asked raising an eyebrow as a joke and Finn winked at her. "Deal, after all is the first time you see a human"
Rachel slowly was approaching her hand while Finn decided to sit down and lift his tail so she could touch it, when she did ran her finger tips through the turquoise scales and quickly withdrew her hand.
"Oh my Gosh" Rachel jumped back and giggled. "That felt weird and amazing at the same time"
"Thanks for the compliment, Rach" Finn laughed and then stared at her. "My mom forces me to rub it with kelp and jellyfish twice a day"
"You gonna tell me the real reason you´re here" Rachel wanted to know getting her bare feet in the water so Finn could touch them. "That tickles, stop it"
"This is awesome" Finn said with a big smile while gently still massaging her feet in the water. "Can you pick things up with them?"
"No" Rachel replied sweetly and relaxed at hand contact of Finn touching her feet. "Sometimes when people are born without arms or have an accident, they necessarily have to use their feet as if they were hands. And those people happen to be extraordinary"
"Do you want to know the real reason why I´m here" Finn asked and Rachel nodded. "I ran away from home five days ago, I have to marry a mermaid who is as swallow as a mirror and not because she really loves me, her name is Kitty"
"Rach?" a sweet and melodious voice called and Rachel recognized the voice as that of her cousin. "Are you here?"
"I will in a minute, Quinn!" Rachel replied, removed her feet from the water and was standing up. "I have to go; I´m sorry, Finn"
"No" Finn pleaded still holding her hand. "Please don´t go"
"I´ll be back tomorrow, I promise" Rachel said and Finn without thinking leaned and gently pressed his lips against hers, before she could leave, Finn turned to kiss her lips.
"I´ll see you soon, Rachel Berry" Finn said kissing her lips once more and disappearing into the water.
Rachel got up from the floor and back inside to greet her cousin but at this point she was in a catatonic state by meeting a beautiful and mythical creature which had kissed her.
