Chapter 1

Finn Hudson looked down at his hand linked with not only the prettiest girl in school, but his girlfriend. He had her back and that was all that mattered. Although he was still blaming himself for their loss at nationals, Rachel was right, he was an artist, and he expressed his feelings in the moment. He didn't regret it one bit.

It was the last Glee club meeting of the year, which meant one thing, summer time. And despite the mishaps of Nationals, the entire Glee club was finally at ease with each other. After the meeting Puck and Kurt convinced everyone to go to dinner in celebration of their 12th place at Nationals as well as another year without killing each other entirely.

Before getting out of the truck Finn looked over at Rachel who was undoing her seatbelt and glancing in the rearview mirror to fix her hair. Wow, did she look beautiful he thought. And Finn couldn't be happier that the two of them were finally back together. He reached for her hand and couldn't help but stare.

She looked up at him confused, "What's wrong? Is there something in my teeth?" gliding her finger over her front teeth.

He smiled his half smile, "No, you're perfect. I'm just really happy to call you mine again."

She leaned over the seat and kissed his cheek softly and whispered in his ear, "Me too. I've really missed you."

He cradled her face in his hand and leaned in for a kiss. Before he could kiss her soft lips, -and boy did he want to, he missed kissing Rachel so much. Puck was pounding on the front of his truck. "Lets go you two love birds!"

They both laughed. Rachel began to pull away but Finn held her face, "Just a quick one." Planting a soft but quick kiss on her lips.

Rachel smiled and grabbed her purse, "Dinner now, more of that later."

She winked at him and turned away to open the door of the truck. Finn got out and met her around the front. They held hands as they walked across the parking lot and in to the restaurant. She wrapped her other arm around his. She loved doing that, he felt so strong, and she loved knowing that he was hers.

They walked in and joined everyone who had managed to take up a big portion of the restaurant. Santana looked up and snickered, "It's about time!" Rachel looked over at her concerned. She knew that after the whole Nationals episode, she and Santana were maybe not the best of friends. Santana smiled and winked at Rachel. Brittany was right, they were a family, and she couldn't hate Rachel forever.

Kurt pushed Blaine over who had also been invited and patted the seat next to him. Rachel smiled and slid in, Finn right behind her.

Finn looked over at Quinn who was laughing with Brittany and Artie. She caught Finn's look and glanced up with a soft smile. She was hurt that Finn and her had broken up, but she knew that he loved Rachel. And she was learning to accept that.

Blaine caught Finn's attention when he'd asked, "So, I don't want to be Debbie Downer or anything, but I'm really curious to know just how awesome that kiss was Finn? Kurt said the entire audience was stunned. And that Jesse kid was sure jealous. So It must have been something" Kurt leaned over smacked his boyfriend giving him a dirty look.

Rachel started to blush and got really nervous. Finn looked concerned as everyone stared waiting for an answer leaning over to Blaine, "I think it's a little too soon man." Finn quickly dug his face into the menu.

Mercedes and Sam let out the laugh they were trying to hold in. Puck pulled down the menu from Finn's face, "Yea man, tell us! I mean, it better have been the best kiss you've ever given and gotten." Everyone laughed.

Brittany started to lightly pound on the table and got everyone chanting, "Tell us! Tell us! Tell us!"

A still embarrassed Rachel hid her bright red face in Finn's arms as he looked down and then back up at everyone. He shifted his arm and put it around her, "What can I say, like I told Jesse St. Jack Ass, It was the Superman of Kisses."

Everyone began to laugh as Rachel looked up from Finn's shoulder, "It even had its own Cape! Right Finn?" They all started to clap and cheer.

Puck yelled across the table while stretching his arm out for a high five, "Way to go Hudson!"

Plates started to pile up as everyone was finishing their meal. As they all talked about how disgusting Rachel's vegan meatballs she made them all taste were, Brittany noticed a familiar tune playing lightly on the over head radio. She started to sing her part as everyone stopped talking and looked over at her. Santana grabbed her arm, "Not here Brit!"

She pulled away and grabbed her fork to use as a microphone, "We can sing in front of hundred's of people at Nationals, but not at Breadstix?"

At this point, almost the entire glee club had joined in.

Finn looked down at Rachel, who had started singing too, and began to sing his line,

"Just a small town girl,

livin' in a lonely world.

She took the midnight train goin' anywhere."

Rachel looked up at Finn, and used his hand as a microphone,

"Just a city boy,

born and raised in south Detroit.

He took the midnight train goin' anywhere."

They sang the entire song, and the Glee club had never had so much fun singing together. By the time they were done they had all managed to work their way out of the booth and begun dancing around the tables in their areas. The other people having dinner at Breadstix found the performance provided quite entertaining. As they finished, everyone let out loud cheers and applause. Everyone took a bow and headed back to their seats.

As they all walked out into the parking lot, Rachel stopped them, "I want you guys to know that I love every single one of you. We've all had our confrontations and sometimes we hate each other. But in the end, we're a family, and I just wanted you guys to know that."

Kurt ran up to Rachel and gave her a big squeeze, "We love you too."

Puck winded himself in between Rachel and Finn and wrapped his arms around both of them, "Alright, I think we should take a camping trip to the lake! It'll be so bad ass, I can guarantee that! Who's down?" Hands shot up and it looked like everyone was in.

Rachel looked up at Finn, "This is going to be the best summer!"

He wrapped both of his arms around her and gave her a hug, "Yes it is Rachel Berry, especially since I have you." He just couldn't believe that everything had worked out with Rachel so well.

Mercedes grabbed Rachel and linked arms, linking arms with Quinn on the other as she pulled them away from the boys, "Alright girls, we need to plan a sleep over to get all of this drama cleared before the lake trip. I don't want our trip to turn into a scary movie where one of the girls goes crazy and starts killing everyone, hiding their body's in the lake. This Diva wants to see her senior year!"

Rachel and Quinn both laughed. Rachel quickly agreed while Quinn hesitantly gave a head nod.

Mercedes looked back at Lauren, Tina, Santana and Brittany, "You guys in?"

"Sure!"

"Count me in!"

"Definitely, but I'm bringing Lord Tubbington!"

Santana laughed at Brittany and then looked back at Mercedes, Rachel and Quinn, "Oh what the hell, last time I went to a party with Berry, I actually had fun!"

They all clapped and began to plan where and when they were going to have the slumber party.

As everyone said their goodbyes, Finn and Rachel walked over to his truck hand in hand. Finn let go of her hand and ran to the passenger door, "Finn, are you okay? You do know that that's where I sit right?"

He laughed at his girlfriend who was so smart but sometimes missed the big picture. He opened the door and took her hand guiding her into the truck, "I'm being a gentlemen Rach."

Embarrassed she took his hand and hopped up into the truck. Before closing the door, he brought his hand up to his lips and sweetly kissed it. Rachel began to giggle, "Why thank you kind sir, you sure are quite the gentlemen!"

He smiled up at her, "I've got to pull out all the stops to make up for loss time."

He made his way around the truck, and when he got in Rachel scooted as close to him as she could, "We've got plenty of time."

The words hit Finn like a giant Freight Train, he didn't have much time. He told him self not to worry about it now, It was summer time and despite Rachel's early preparations to leave Lima forever, she was here now and he wasn't going to let that ruin their summer break. She tucked her self into his side humming the song that was on the radio and he began to drive Rachel home.
