It all started with the conversation on the phone after she found out about him flying all the way to New York to fight her boyfriend.

"You're probably still pissed about Brody so I'll start by saying that I'm sorry and that my hand still hurts. His face has sharp edges."

"Okay. I'm-I'm not..I'm not mad. I..Actually, I think I owe you a debt of gratitude. Just, um..you know, I wish that you would've stayed and hung around a little longer."

"Next time, I promise."

"So, how is college?"

"It's a dream come true. Parties with Puck.."

"Puck? Puck is there?"

"Yeah, he's here. Long story, but..it's amazing. Every night, we go out. We-We're meeting new people."

"Well, then that sounds amazing. I'm..It's really great. I, uh, actually, I just. I needed to, um, to ask you something."

"Let me guess, Funny Girl auditions?"

"I knew you'd remember. Finn, I can't believe that this moment is happening and I know that this is a long shot, but I need to find the most perfect song to sing. And-and-and no Barbra."

"You're one of the most unique talents in the world. You always shine your brightest when you do something personal, something, intimately important that defines you. So just do something that takes you back to the roots of your passion. That's what people want to see and that's what makes the best impression. Make those producers fall in love with you in that moment on the stage. And I know you have it in you."

"Wow. Thank you, that was, uh.. perfect advice."

"You'll be great. Can't wait to come to a show sometime. Call me as soon as it's over, okay?"

"I will."

Rachel's POV

She hoped that she didn't sound too jealous when he was telling her about the fun he was having in college with Puck. She sure hoped that Puck wasn't trying to turn him into a playboy like him. The last thing she could handle was seeing Finn with another girl. It broke her heart to think of him kissing another. She was thinking of what to do, she didn't know if Finn wanted to ever be with her again after what happened. She was going to do what she could to win him back, she made the biggest mistake of her life breaking up with him and she was going to do what she could to get him back. Get back her person. She decided after the audition for Funny Girl she wasn't going to call Finn but surprise him. She hoped it would be a good surprise and he would tell her how much he loved her and missed her like she wanted. She had hoped he would say something when she called him but all he talked about was how much fun he was having in college with Puck.

Finn's POV

All Finn wanted to do when he was on the phone with Rachel was to tell her how much he loved and missed her. He knew that he should have fought for her harder but he needed her to be free in order for her to see that she belonged with him. That they belonged together. That they were endgame like he told her at the wedding, he meant every word that night. But he didn't understand why Rachel snuck out on him in the middle of the night. He was worried that she felt like it was a mistake. To him, it wasn't. It was the most beautiful, natural thing. It showed that no matter what, they would always and forever have that chemistry. He was tired of waiting for her but he didn't want her to regret anything.

Rachel finished her audition for Funny Girl. She sang the song "Don't Stop Believin" and it made her remember when she, Kurt, Mercedes, Artie, Tina and Finn sang the song for the first time in the auditorium. She felt like it made her performance more powerful. When she finished, she immediately went back to the apartment and packed a bag. She had to fight for the man she loved. The man she was destined to be with. When she landed at the airport, she got a car and drove to Lima. She didn't know what she was doing, all she knew was that she had to fight to get Finn back. She was going to do whatever it took to have him back in her life. On her way over there, she was getting more and more nervous about what Finn might think or say. What if he turned her down? What if he said he didn't love her anymore? What if he moved on? But, regardless of what he might say, she wasn't going to give up without a fight.

Rachel arrived at the University of Lima, she made sure that she made a stop at her dad's house to fix her hair and make up beforehand. She had to make sure she looked extra beautiful for Finn if she expected to win him back. She was scared but she needed to fight for him, she let him go twice before and there was not going to be a third. She was going to do whatever she could and she was going to let him know that she wasn't going to go anywhere even if that meant moving back to Lima to be with him. She knocked on his dorm room when Puck answered the door.

"Berry, what are you doing here? Wow, what are you wearing? Why does your hair look like that? You look completely different from high school Berry. I dig it." Puck said.

"Puck. Is Finn here?" Rachel asked.

"No, He's at the library but I'll call him to tell him to come back to the dorm. You want to come in and wait?" Puck replied, opening the door for her to enter the room.

Puck got his cellphone out of his pocked and dialed Finn's number.

"Dude, you got to get back to the apartment. There is this extremely sexy girl looking for you. No...just come back now before I get her to fall for me instead of being here to see you." Puck said into the cellphone, laughing.

"Well, Berry. I'm going to head out to let you two be before he gets here because I don't want to see none of that nasty making out that you and him tend to do that makes me want to throw up." Puck said as he grabbed his jacket.

Rachel just sat there waiting patiently for Finn to come back to the dorm. She was getting more and more nervous. She was thinking about the way Puck told Finn "There is this extremely sexy girl looking for you..?" Why in the world would Puck say that? Was there other girls coming around here looking for Finn? She didn't know but again she didn't care. If she had to fight for Finn, that's exactly what she was going to do. She did it once before, in a way. She was thinking of how she was going to fight another girl when she heard the key into the doorknob.

Finn entered the door and he took her breath away. Finn was always handsome to her but he seemed different. He seemed more carefree and in a way smarter. She was so happy to see him again. The last time she saw him was at the wedding. She took it as a sign when she catched the bouquet that it was meant for her and Finn. Even though she was with Brody at the time, her heart belonged to Finn like always.

Finn's POV

He just hung up the phone with Puck and was heading back to the dorm room. Who would be looking for him? He never told anybody where he lived or even gave his number out to any girls because he was waiting for Rachel to come back around. So, he had to hurry back to the dorm room to check this out. When he got to the dorm, he took a deep breath, put the key into the lock and opened. When he opened the door, he was surprised at the sight in front of him. She was the most beautiful girl he ever laid his eyes on. The love of his life. Boy did she take his breath away. Before he could say anything, Rachel started to talk...

"Finn, I have to talk to you. There is something on my mind and I need to say it now. I don't want you to say anything." Rachel said.

"Okay?" Finn said, nervous. He didn't know what Rachel would want. He was hoping that she wanted him back but he hoped that she didn't go over there to hit him or something for doing a sneak up attack in New York.

"I made a mistake. I should have stayed with you that night on Valentine's day instead of going back to New York. I would say home but my home isn't someplace, it's you, remember? I was going back to New York to tell Brody that we were over because I was still in love with you. I waited for you to call me and tell me that you wanted me back right now, not in the future. When you didn't call me, I thought you changed your mind and I kept his stupid ass around to fill that heartache. That was the biggest mistake of my life. My heart belonged to you and always had belonged to you. Like you said that night, we are endgame. I'm not going to wait a year, two years or any longer to be with you again. When you beat up Brody, I realized that you would still do anything for me and I knew that I had to fight to be with you again. I will do anything to have you back in my life. I will give up everything and come back to Lima to be with you again." Rachel said.

"Rach" Finn said.

"No, I will fight for you. I'm not giving up on you, I'm not giving up on us. I will do anything for you. I don't care if I have to physically fight any girl. You're mine for life. We are endgame. I have fought for you before and I will do it again. I made a mistake, the biggest mistake. Now, I want the chance to fix that mistake. I let you go twice and I sure as heck ain't going to let that happen a third time. So don't make me have to fight some girl for you to be mine again because I will." Rachel finished.

Finn went up to Rachel, grabbed her and kissed her. It was the best kiss ever. Rachel felt it from her head to her toes. All she could think about was how happy she was to be in his arms again and that she was thankful for the fact that Finn was holding her in his arms or she would have fainted from that powerful kiss.

"Rach, there is no one else. The only girl I want and ever wanted is you. You're my person. You're my true love. You're the only one who accepted me for who I was, loved me for who I was, never tried to change me and made me want to follow my dreams. You are the most beautiful woman in this entire world and I only ever want is to be with you. To call you my wife, someday."

"I love you, Finn Christopher Hudson."

"I love you more, Rachel Barbra Berry. Hopefully, someday, Hudson."

They kissed one more time and got on the bed to lay down. Finn held her in his arms and they laid there for a while when Finn said.

"I got an idea of how we can be together...if this is what you really want."

She turned around and gave him a kiss.

"This is what I want. I want to spend the rest of my life in your arms and with you by my side. This is my dream come true. You're my dream come true. You're my hero, Finn."
