A new idea popped up in my head while I was working on my next chapter of My Boo, and a new one-shot for Fuinn, however I plan on this one being a few chapters, but only if it's good enough.

Happy reading!


The summer between Junior and Senior year had just started...like literally just started, about two days ago. Finn Hudson was pretty upset too, because his brain wouldn't shut off the school time so he still woke up every morning around six-thirty. Talk about depressing.

So, it was the third day of summer and currently the tall Hudson boy was sitting on the edge of his bed yawning as he put on his shoes.

"Finn hurry up!" Rachel ushered him, "we need to get there soon before they run out of the Carmel Mocha again."

Rachel really was a morning person, like really every morning she started her daily routine at six: first she ran on the elliptical for about ten minutes (it used to be longer but now she runs on it at night also) then she takes her shower, does voice warm up activities while dressing and putting on makeup, and then she's off to get her coffee at The Lima Bean. How exciting! Finn thought.

He reached up and rubbed his eyes before stretching his arms out. Rachel had arrived at his house only three minutes ago, she barged into his room and demanded that he take her to get her coffee this morning, and when he asked her why he had to take her...she claimed her fathers were gone on a trip, and they had taken the only car the Berry family owned.

"Come on!" Rachel waved at him impatiently.

He felt a little weird, Rachel never acted this way around him...yeah, she was always eager and excited, but she never, never, rushed things. Finn had thought that he had escaped the rushing aspect of a relationship after he broke up with Quinn. Quinn always rushed things.

Yet, to make his short girlfriend happy...and to keep her from lecturing him on why making things on time was a good idea he stood up from his bed and grabbed his keys, his cell phone, and his wallet. "Let's go." He yawned.

Rachel smiled as they walked down the stairs together (the rest of the Hummel-Hudson family were still asleep). "Honestly Finn, if you fall asleep at the wheel...I'm afraid I may kill you." The short diva threatened.

Finn looked at her a little shocked before he nodded, "okay."


This was a typical morning for Quinn Fabray, she had to wake up every morning at six anyway...so when she decided to take the morning shift that started at five-thirty in the Lima Bean, she really had no problem with it...no, she just set her alarm an hour earlier, that way she could still take her shower and put on her makeup before coming to work.

Today, was her second day at work...yet, she claimed it was her first (yesterday didn't count, after all she didn't do anything, she just watched as the other workers showed her what to do) so, yes, today was her first day of work. And to say she was happy was a bit of an overstatement. She had come to grips with the fact that she needed to start paying for her own things. Daddy Fabray, after all no longer liked her so he didn't buy her everything she wanted. And though her mother tried, she was now working three jobs and little Quinnie Fabray barely saw her anymore. So Quinn had realized it was time to make her own money, she did after all want to move as far away from Lima, Ohio as she possibly could after graduation...and she was really hoping the trip was longer than just Columbus.

So, yes, the blonde had come to realize that she'd have to make a few sacrifices from her day; she wouldn't be able to sleep in and extra hour during the summer, she'd have to go to bed early on the nights before the mornings of her work, she may or may not have to take an extra shift every once in a while, she wouldn't be able to hang out with Santana and Brittany every day as she had hoped she could, she may get rude ass customers who bitch and moan about everything, but she'll have to treat the kindly because, the customer is always right after all...and the thing that came most as a surprise to her was that she would have to work alongside one of the people she hated most out of everyone in this world.

"Good morning, Quinn." His voice echoed through her ears as she strapped on her apron and walked behind the counter.

...Yes the biggest sacrifice Quinn Fabray had to make (even worse than having to serve people lower than her on the school's social status...let alone serving people altogether) was working alongside Jesse st. James every morning.

"Jesse," Well, working with him...and having to be polite to him...

Yeah, this was gonna be hell!


Finn pulled into the parking lot of the Lima Bean and cut the engine to his truck off, "so, do I need to come in with you or can I stay out here?" He asked during the middle of a yawn.

Rachel smiled at him, she couldn't help but think he was actually looking quite adorable at the moment, "well," She started to say that he didn't have to come in with her, but she thought differently, "of course you have to come in with me Finn...how else am I going to pay for my Carmel Mocha?"

When the guy looked at his girlfriend he sighed, "you don't have any money?"

"Of course I do...don't be ridiculous, I take a little bit of cash with me everywhere I go...you never know when you'll need it. Emergencies show up in the blink of an eye, you know." She informed him.

Finn nodded, "right, let's just get you're Carmel Cocoa."

"Mocha." Rachel corrected.

Finn nodded again, "mocha."

They opened the doors to his truck and stepped outside, then he followed the girl to the door of the coffee house, and almost forgot to open it for her until she kindly pointed out to him that a boyfriend should always open doors for their girlfriend.

As he yawned again Finn followed his girlfriend to the counter and waited patiently behind her as they both waited to be served.

A moment later both Finn and Rachel were caught off guard when Quinn Fabray appeared behind the counter, "yes, may I help you?" Quinn asked politely.

"Ah, Quinn, it's lovely to see you here." Rachel smiled, "I didn't know you worked here?"

Quinn nodded, "well, I didn't...I mean I do...I just started today."

Rachel nodded, "oh, how nice...how's your summer been?" She asked, trying to make small talk. Finn however, was just staring at the blonde behind the counter in shock.

The girl in question shrugged, "it's been summer." She said before sighing, "so, Berry what can I get you?" She asked.

Rachel smiled softly, "right, uh, I would like a medium Carmel Mocha please."

Quinn nodded before typing it in and then looking at Finn, "are you ordering something?" She kindly asked.

Finn just nodded dumbly.

Quinn looked at him a moment before say in a slightly annoyed tone, "well, what is it?"

Finn shook his head, "oh, uh, right." He shook his head and cleared his throat, "I-uh-I want a regular Iced Mocha."

Quinn nodded again as she typed it into the small screen in front of her. Then she sighed, "your total is seven-fifteen."

Finn nodded as he pulled out a five dollar bill and three ones from his wallet which he had taken from his pocket a moment ago. "Here." He said coolly as he handed the cash to Quinn.

Quinn took the money and opened the cash register before putting the money inside and grabbing three quarters and a dime, "your change is eighty-five cents." She handed it back to Finn and ripped the receipt from the dispenser and smiled, "your drinks will be ready in a moment."

Rachel smiled brightly back at Quinn, "thank you!"

Finn and Rachel stepped out of the way (even though there was nobody else in the coffee shop) and they both looked behind the counter.

Rachel was observing Quinn work because she thought that it was both odd and funny that the HBIC of McKinley High School was working at the Lima Bean.

Finn however, was just observing Quinn.

"Is that Jesse?" Rachel asked after a moment.

Finn glanced at her before looking in the direction that the girl was pointing in.

It was Jesse. Quinn was standing by Jesse st. James and they seemed to be the only ones working today. Rachel and Finn watched as the blonde stood next to the curly haired boy as he turned on a little blender and coffee shot up out of the tiny machine. Quinn let out a little squeal as Jesse quickly shut the machine off before slipping on the floor and falling down.

Then what shocked them even more was watching as Quinn helped him up to a standing position, and they were both laughing hysterically.

"Yeah, that's Jesse." Finn answered.

"What the hell is he doing with her?" Rachel asked.

Finn didn't answer, yet, he was thinking the same exact thing.


"I'm sorry!" Jesse laughed as he reached up and wiped a bit of coffee from Quinn's face.

Quinn laughed also before saying, "wow, st. James, I really didn't know you could screw up anything else in your life."

Jesse smiled before he grabbed a different cup to make the coffee again.

Quinn quickly shook her head, "no, no...I'll make the coffee." She smiled, "you just clean up, I don't think you could do any damage doing that."

Jesse gave her a glare but he still nodded, "fair enough."

Quinn pointed him in the direction of the mop in the back closet. She then went and grabbed a new cup and began to make the coffee again.

When she finished Rachel's coffee she turned around to grab another cup and saw Jesse trying to work the mop, "please, tell me you know how to work a mop?" She asked.

Jesse glared at her, "yes, Quinn, believe it or not...I'm not entirely stupid." He shook his head, "that's not what I meant."

Quinn nodded, "sure." She was smiling though when she turned back to finish Finn's coffee.

Maybe working with Jesse st. Jackass might not be too bad. She thought.


"One Carmel Mocha, and one regular Iced Mocha." Quinn said as she slid the coffee's across the counter, "sorry for the wait." She said sincerely.

Finn noticed Rachel give a forced smile this time, "it's quite alright Quinn thank you."

The blonde nodded, "you're welcome...have a nice day."

"You too." Finn said as he followed his girlfriend toward the door.

"I wonder if they work together every morning now?" Rachel asked as she climbed into the passenger seat.

Finn shrugged, "I don't know." But he was sure as hell gonna find out!


So, there we have chapter one, and if you want more...all you have to do is let me know.

I hope you enjoyed it, I hope it was worth the read...please, please let me know how I did.

Thank you...
