"Hey guys, I'm having a party tonight!" Finn smiled at his fellow glee club members. Mercedes raised an eyebrow. "I mean.." Finn paused, "I'm kinda only inviting you guys- cause everyone else is kinda.. not talking to us." Tina cocked her head. "I-think it could be fun." Finn tried again. "I have a basement with a tv and playstation and food and stuff..?" He looked hopefully around the room.
"Dude I'm in," Puck high-fived him. "I'm down for chillin tonight. Coach has been riding us so hard lately I need to relax."
"I'm free!" Rachel smiled broadly. "It should be really fun, Finn." She batted her eyelashes.
Santana and Brittany looked at each other. "Yeah I guess that sounds fine," Santana crossed her arms. "I dropped my phone in the toilet.." Brittany mumbled. "When I try to call someone I hear the ocean."
"'I'd love to come," Quinn smiled warmly. "It's better than sitting at home."
"Definitely man," Mike grinned. "You have a sweet pad to bust out new dance moves!" agreed Matt.
"We love a good party right Artie?" Tina smiled at him. "Yeah sounds great!" he said. "But I'll need help getting down the stairs." "Done," Finn grinned. "This will be awesome!"
He turned to Kurt and Mercedes. "Do you two want to come?" he asked hopefully. "I think we can postpone our shopping trip tonight," Mercedes said. "What do you say Kurt?"
"I say what time do we get there?" Kurt answered quickly smiling at Finn.
Around 5 at night was when everyone started showing up at Finn's house. Rachel was the first to be there, of course, and she carried in armfuls of board games and snacks. "I thought you might want some extra things to do!" she chirped. "And I brought half the Broadway musicals that have been made into movies that I own and I thought we could have a marathon!" "Actually," Finn looked tiredly at her. "I think we're just hangin' out, you know not really on a schedule." "Oh!" Rachel exclaimed. "Well tha-that works too. I love to chill!" She made quotation marks with her fingers and quickly nodded her head. "Um…cool," Finn turned awkwardly as the doorbell rang.
He opened the door and Puck and Quinn walked in happily together, and Finn felt content. He was upset with the way he found out that Puck was the father, but they really seemed happy together. What could he say? They were right for each other. Matt and Mike walked in, both attempting a complicated hanshake with Finn. "What up, son?" Mike laughed. "Not much bro," Finn snickered. Tina and Artie came right behind, as did Santana and Brittany, who were still in their Cheerios uniforms. "Don't you wear other clothes?" Tina asked Santana. "Ugh, you're just jealous you're not on the team," Santana countered. "Sometimes I put mine on backwards," Brittany told her.
Finn sat on the couch staring into space.
Maybe this was a bad idea he thought as he felt Rachel's eyes burning a hole in his face. Maybe I should- The door bell rang.
