A/N: Hey, there! I honestly don't write at all unless I have an idea that won't go away. So here's another one. I don't know about you, but I REALLY wanted to see Finn and Rachel filming
"Run Joey Run" together. So I made a little something that might have taken place. Sorry Chapter 1 is short, but oh well. Enjoy! :)

"Finn. Can I talk to you for a minute?"

Finn Hudson shut his locker and turned to find Rachel Berry staring up at him with her beautiful brown eyes.

"Sure, Rach. What's up?"

Rachel's eyes flicked down. She looked nervous about something, and when she started talking, her voice was small and quiet. "I uh…I was wondering if you wanted to work on the Bad Reputation project with me." She glanced back up, and he cocked his head to the side, confused.

"What about Jessie?" Finn countered bitterly. "You'd really pass up a chance to sing with Mr. Dream Voice?"

"I will admit Jessie's voice is indisputably well-trained. But you can't deny our musical chemistry, Finn. You and I just…fit." Rachel tucked her hair behind her ear, and Finn had to strain to hear her next statement. "And…I miss you."

"Really?" Finn was hopeful.

"Of course!" Rachel exclaimed. But her next statement made Finn's heart plummet to his stomach. "Your friendship means a lot to me."

"Friendship. Right." Finn slowly nodded, hoping Rachel wouldn't detect the dejection in his tone.

"So will you do it?" Rachel asked, almost shyly.

Finn let out a shaky breath. "Alright. I'm in."

Rachel clapped her hands together, excitedly. "Excellent! You won't be disappointed, Finn. Let's meet at my house, tonight. Eight o'clock?"

"Sounds great." Finn gave her a wink and couldn't resist his next statement. "Eight is terrific."

-glee-

Rachel stood fixed in her spot, staring at Finn as he headed to class. Was that a coicidence, or does he really remember what he said to her when they set up their first "date"? And here she thought he was just staring at her breasts the whole time during that exchange.

She couldn't stop the smile steadily growing on her face. She felt guilty for being dishones with Finn, but she didn't really lie, did she? She didn't exactly say Jesse wasn't working with her. And she meant it when she complimented their music connection. She would have liked to say that she didn't look forward to their meeting with anticipation and butterflies. But then she knew she'd be lying to herself. And that's a form of dishonesty that even she wasn't able to do – no matter how hard she tried.
