Author's Note: Okay so I was sitting down listening to some John Williams when I was struck with a thought. We always see stories written about Rachel showing Finn movies, like musicals and such. Well what if Finn showed Rachel some of his favorite movies (or in this case some of mine)? This isn't going to be anything serious, just a stupid little idea that popped into my head. Oh and any lines from the movie will be in italics. Hope you enjoy.
Author's Note 2: So I am updating these chapters because I've finally finished the last chapter and wanted to fix any mistakes that I might have made.
Rachel Berry, Meet Indiana Jones
"Finn, I don't want to watch this movie. I don't think I'm going to like it." Rachel Berry whined to the boy who was setting up the DVD player. Finn Hudson laughed at Rachel's obvious discomfort.
It was a month into the summer and they had taken Mr. Schuester's advice and just decided to have some fun. It was nice because this was the first time that the two of them could just be Finn and Rachel. There were no distractions. No pregnant girlfriends, no boyfriends from rival glee clubs, it was just the two of them.
Despite his epic confession to her at Regionals, the two of them were not dating. Finn had went to Rachel not long after the competition and told her that there was no pressure on her to do anything that she did not want to do. The last thing that he wanted was for her to rush into a relationship with him because she felt like "she had to". He wasn't going to screw this up again he had said, and they should only move forward on her terms and in the timing she wanted. She should just tell him when she's ready. Besides, wouldn't it be better if they were better friends before they jumped into a relationship?
Rachel had sat there stunned for a moment and then very quickly hit attacked him with a hug. She was impressed with Finn's very mature speech. And it meant a lot to her that he cared that much about her to not pressure her. Finn had blushed at that because the truth was; he had needed a little help from his mom. He knew what he had wanted to say, but not exactly how to say it. So Carole Hudson helped her son come up with just how to talk to Rachel.
So the summer was filled with them just being teenagers. They hung out and listened to music, went to the mall, and had even played video games a few times. Finn learned that Rachel was a little bit of a sore loser sometimes after he had beaten her in Halo and she had thrown the controller down in anger. Storming out Finn heard her mumbling about how she didn't like this stupid game. Finn still laughed at that memory almost every time he played Halo.
Then there were the movies that they watched. Rachel had felt it necessary to educate him in the world of musicals. Now Finn wasn't exactly thrilled with the idea, but he would be lying if he didn't say that he enjoyed some of them. Especially some of those old ones with that Danny Kaye guy. Funny dude.
But the problem was that musicals were all they were watching. Now Finn didn't think that was very fair, so this morning when Rachel called and said that they should watch Singing in the Rain for the third time, Finn had put his foot down. He told her that he'd be over in a bit, but he was bringing some of his movies. And that was how they had gotten to this point.
"Relax Rach, I have never met one person who hated this movie. Granted it may not be what you are used too, but I really think that you're going to like it." Finn said as he finished setting up the DVD. Rachel crossed her arms over her chest and pouted.
"The movie has a funny name." Finn looked at her and crossed his arms.
"Rachel come on, Raiders of the Lost Ark is not a funny name. It's an awesome name. This movie redefined the action movie. It has everything you want. Action, adventure, humor, suspense, and even a little romance. Not to mention a kick ass hero named Indiana Jones, who every guy has wanted to be at some point. Trust me Rachel, you will like this movie. And if you don't we just won't be friends anymore."
Rachel shot him a glare at that last line, but it quickly turned into a smile. She bit her lip before nodding slightly.
"I guess I have made you watch a lot of my movies lately. It's only fair. Let's get started."
Finn threw his arms up in victory and quickly pushed play on the DVD remote. He was bouncing around a bit as the Paramount Pictures logo came onto screen and quickly turned into the mountain. He looked over at Rachel to see her staring intently at the screen. Oh yeah, she's going to love it. And if she doesn't then at least he got to watch Raiders today.
*Glee*
Throw me the idol. I'll throw you the whip!
Finn watched as Satipo betrayed Indy and ran out of the room. This opening scene was so cool. Finn always loved this whole part. He looked over at Rachel who was staring intently at the screen. She gasped a little when Indy jumped over the gap in the room and almost fell. If that scared her then the part that was about to happen would sure freak her out.
Finn let out a laugh as Rachel almost jumped out of her seat when she saw Satipo impaled on the spikes. She glared at him before turning back towards the screen just in time to see Indy begin running from the giant boulder. Finn couldn't count the times that he had reenacted that scene while running around his house. He saw Rachel out of the corner of his cheer slightly as Indy escaped the boulder.
*Glee*
Indiana Jones. I always knew someday, you'd come walking back through my door.
And there she was, Marion Ravenwood. Finn would be lying if he said he didn't have a crush on her for a long time. She was pretty, feisty, and threw a wicked punch, which Indy was about to learn in a second. Boom! It never got old.
Finn looked over at Rachel who was silently engrossed in the movie. Although he had never thought about it before, she kind of reminded him of Marion. This was pretty awesome when Finn thought about it because that meant he could be Indiana Jones.
"That means I could start wearing a fedora." Finn said quietly to himself. After saying that he received a loud shush from Rachel.
*Glee*
He said you were a bum.
Finn wasn't sure how it happened, but at some point while they were watching the movie, the two of them had begun getting closer to each other. Now he wasn't complaining in the slightest, but it was the first time that is had happened while watching a movie. They were close enough now that their hands were almost touching. Finn turned back to the screen just in time to see Indy start fighting the masked bad guys in the streets of Cairo.
He really did enjoy this scene; it was the first time that Indy got to beat people up. And that's one of the draws to Indiana Jones. He's a cool fighter. He leans over to Rachel.
"Coming up is one of my favorite parts in any movie ever." Rachel looked at him quickly and nodded.
Finn turned back to the screen and watched as Indy ran around looking for Marion. Then the sea of people parted and there stood the masked swordsman. Finn smiled as he watched Indy wipe the sweat from his face and face off against a guy much bigger and scarier than he.
"Here it comes." He says slightly to himself. Rachel lets out a surprised squeal as Indy pulls out his pistol and shoots the guy on the spot. Finn laughs out loud and looks at Rachel who is shaking her head, but has a smile on her face. He loved seeing her smile, it made her prettier then she already was.
He looked down at their hands one more time and just decided to go for it. He took her hand in his and laced his fingers in hers. He noticed that her smile only got bigger after that.
*Glee*
Snakes. Why'd it have to be snakes?
Rachel let out a slight scream as Indy fell down into the Well of Souls and came face to face with a deadly snake. This whole scene seemed to scare her a bit as Finn found he was being used a shield at some points. Holding hands had quickly become Rachel leaning on his shoulder and then finally putting his arm around her and holding her close. Well this scene in the well of souls was the first part where she was closing her eyes every now and then. It didn't get any better either when Marion was thrown into the pit with Indy. Finn thought she was finally okay with the creepiness. Then there was the scene where Marion ran into all the skeletons.
"I can't believe you're making me watch this movie." Rachel said into his shirt as she hit him lightly. Finn smiled at her.
"Don't worry Rachel. This scene's almost done. I'll tell you when it's over okay." Finn said softly. She nodded into his chest again. Finn loved being so close to her. He really liked protecting her, which is what he felt like he was doing now. He looked at the TV to see that the scene was over.
"Okay Rach, they're outside now. You can look."
Rachel slowly peeked at the screen to see if he was telling the truth and then looked up at him. She stared at him for a moment before looking back at the screen.
"Thanks Finn." She said softly. Finn nodded even though she couldn't see him and looked at the TV to see Indy and the German mechanic begin to fight. Oh sweet! He loved this part.
*Glee*
It's not the years honey, it's the mileage.
When Finn was younger he used to think that this scene was kind of gross. And he usually went to get a drink or something. Now that he's older he realizes that Indiana Jones is kind of a pimp. I mean Finn had to think if he ever tried something like that with a girl, he'd get slapped. Unless he wore a fedora. It might work then. He looked down at Rachel at just decided to give it a shot.
"Hey Rach. I'm sorry my arm kind of hurts." Rachel looked up in surprise and apologized.
"Oh Finn I'm so sorry. I didn't realize." Finn shook his head.
"Oh it's fine. But you know what. It doesn't hurt here." Finn said pointing to his forehead. Then he pointed at his left cheek and then his lips. "Or here. Or even here."
Rachel looked at him blankly for a moment before playfully hitting him on the arm. Finn laughed. He was only playing after all and turned back to the movie. That was when Rachel planted a small kiss on his cheek. He turned to her in shock, but she was already focused back on the movie. Finn smile didn't leave his face for a while after that.
*Glee*
Marion, don't look at it! Shut your eyes, Marion! Don't look at it, no matter what happens!
Rachel was back burying her head into Finn's chest again. And he couldn't blame her. Melting heads and Nazi's dying always did weird him out a little bit. He nudged Rachel when the scarier parts had passed and the two of them enjoyed the rest of the movie together. As the ark was put into the warehouse and the credits began to roll Finn looked down at Rachel who was processing what she thought. Finn looked at her expectantly.
"Well Rach? What did you think? Great right?" Rachel nodded.
"Yes Finn. I have to agree. Raiders of the Lost Ark is a very enjoyable film." Finn looked at her in shock.
"Enjoyable? No Rachel, that movie is far more than that. It's epic. It's a legend. I mean if there was one person from movies that I could be, it'd probably be Indiana Jones. So I don't accept that it was enjoyable. It was amazing would have been better." Finn said in a huff. Rachel began laughing at the upset boy before her.
"You're really cute when you're upset Finn. And I could totally see you pulling off the fedora and leather jacket look." Finn began to blush at her statement. Rachel continued.
"And I loved it Finn, you were right. It was fantastic. Thank you for showing me. Indiana Jones is without a doubt a fantastic hero."
Finn smiled big at this statement and nodded. He knew that she would like it. The possibilities were endless. Next they could watch another Indy movie, or maybe Star Wars, or even The Dark Knight. He was getting really excited. Rachel interrupted his thoughts.
"Finn, I think I'm ready." Finn shot his face up and looked at Rachel. His face clearly said what are you talking about?
"Ready?" He said softly. So many different thoughts ran through his mind. Did she mean, ready to date him? "What do you mean Rach?" She smiled.
"Ready for the next Indiana Jones movie. There's four of them right. I think we should start right now."
Despite his best efforts, Finn's entire face fell. Of course that's what she meant. He recovered quickly and nodded. He stood up and walked over to his Indiana Jones box set and quickly got Temple of Doom out. Damn him and getting excited over nothing. Rachel tapped him on the shoulder from behind. He turned around and she was smiling up at him.
"I love you too."
Finn stood totally still. That was unexpected. Rachel laughed slightly.
"I've felt that way for a while. I just wanted to find the perfect time to say it. And shock value never hurts. You of all people know that." Finn smiled as he remembered Regional's. He nodded slightly.
"Well I'm glad to hear that. Does that mean that you're ready to maybe go on a date with me? I feel like we may have skipped that step." Rachel nodded shyly at Finn's question.
"I'd love to go out with you Finn."
Finn's heart soared at that comment and he did the first thing that he could think of. He pulled Rachel in for a kiss. It had been a long time coming and a good amount of emotion was being put into it. Rachel pulled away and smiled.
"But Finn."
"Yeah Rach?"
"I was serious about the next movie. Can you hurry up and put it in?"
Author's Note 3: So there it is. This is the updated chapter. I think I went back and fixed any mistakes that were there and tightened some things up that I wanted to change. I hope that you all enjoyed it. Thanks for reading and please review.
