Disclamer: I do not own Glee or any of the songs used in this fanfiction.
xXPrologueXx
All of Glee club was seated in the choir room when Mr. Schue walked in. He looked incredibly excited. "Guys after the success of last week's Duets competition I have decided to have another competition. This time you all have to choose a song from a foreign singer or band and perform it to the group and I will pick the best one." He smiled as though he had told them the best news ever. "What's the prize?" Santana asked the question everyone was thinking. " You get to perform your song at next week's Culture Week assembly. You get to pick the costume, the lighting and who is singing it, you could have just you sing it or teach it to some or all of the group." Now everyone was excited, especially Rachel, they all though that it would be fun to be in charge of a performance.

Rachel's POV
When I got home I went to my CD collection. I was looking for one in particular so I could find the perfect song for the competition. A few years ago I received a CD for my birthday. Finally I find it, at the bottom of my pile. I think I have got a brilliant song that I can do. I listen to the song I have chosen. It is perfect; it is an amazing song and sums up everything I want to say. It is a love song called 'Space They Cannot Touch' and it explains how I feel about Finn. Even though it might not be as 'foreign' as Mr. Schue was hoping I believe my brilliant singing will still mean I win.

I'm sitting next to Finn in Glee. He is not exactly the sharpest knife in the draw so I hope he understands that this song is for him. "Right who has prepared a song for the competition?" Mr. Schue asks the group. I put up my hand and so does Sam. Sam is new; I didn't think he would be so eager to sing on his own. "Why don't you go first Rachel. "Mr Schue offers. "Thanks," I say as I walk to the front.
"I know this might not fit the criteria but I love this song and I want to share it with you guys.
How's my luck
But somehow I'm with you
Let's leave now
Let's leave them,
their point of view
My favourite place is me and you
I wake up in the darkest night
Watch you breathe in shadow light
A perfect world lies next to me
And I don't need to sleep to dream
I just hope I am good enough to keep you
Morning sun warms our skin
And distant sounds
The day begins
Soon their world will come calling for us
But this is the space they cannot touch
I just hope I am good enough to keep you"
As I am singing I watch Finn to see his reaction. I can't tell if he knows it's about him but he seems to like it. When I am done the entire group applauds, I don't know if it's just to be polite or because they like it. But I tell myself it was the latter. "That was lovely Rachel, I just want to know that if you win you might not be able to perform it as Principal Figgins did want it to be a foreign song." Mr Schue tells me. I know that but I am still glad I picked that song because I wanted Finn to know how much I appreciate him.
A/N This is my first Glee fic so a lot of constructive criticism is much desired.
Here is a link for the song. youtube .com /watch?v=NTXmH0mDB2I (without the spaces)
This is kinda a 'chose your own adventure' story, you get to vote for your favorite song to be sung in the epilogue.
