AU: I'm sort of the midst of writing three Finchel stories, but I got this idea while driving about this afternoon when this song came on my iPod. Finchel Alternative Universe. Enjoy!
Marry Me-inspired by the song by Train
Also, kind of similar to Life As We Know It (not the plot, but some certain aspects of the story)
Chapter 1-Blind Date
Finn Hudson needed a break from his job—the Braves were desperately trying to hang on and win this ball game. They were down five runs, but it was already the bottom of the ninth and there were two outs.
"Come on Braves" Finn thought to himself. They really needed this win-they would be able to make it to the playoffs as a wildcard with a win.

"Just a little to the left, Kurt" Rachel Berry told her best friend as he hung up a picture on the wall of her new art studio. Rachel was a student at Georgia State University majoring in art. She had decided to attend to the Georgia State University after her dream college, Julliard rejected her. She had dreams of becoming an actress on Broadway, but this was something that she could do if she couldn't go on Broadway.
"Rach, something's missing" Kurt told her.
"And what is that?" she asked.
"You need a guy in your life. Ever since that Jesse kid dumped you, you haven't been yourself. You aren't your perky self anymore."
"And you think a guy is going to change that?" she wondered.
"Well, maybe a little bit. I know just the guy for you too!" he exclaimed.
"Fantastic" she remarked.

Rachel frantically drove to the restaurant where she was meeting her date. She couldn't believe that she let Kurt talk her into something like this.
She checked her hair one last time in her rear view and then waltzed into the restaurant.
Her date was running a little behind schedule, so she got herself a table for two and waited for her date to show up.
Finally, a man in his late teens/early twenties walked toward Rachel. He was the most handsome guy that Rachel had ever seen.
"Excuse me, are you Rachel Berry?" the man asked her.
"Yes, yes I am." She replied almost absent-mindedly.
"I'm Finn Hudson. A friend of mine, Kurt Hummel set me up on this date with you. You're a lot prettier than I imagined" he told her.
"Thank you. Would you care to join me?" she asked him.
"It would be my pleasure."
Finn joined Rachel at the dinner table and they enjoyed their date.

"I had a wonderful time tonight, thanks Finn" she told him and he walked her to her car.
"It was my pleasure, Rachel. Would it be alright if I called you sometime?" he asked.
"It would definitely be alright" she replied.
"Cool" and he opened the door of her car for her and she walked in.
He watched her drive away and made his way to his car. A familiar tune came on the radio.
Forever can be never long enough for me
Feeling that I have long enough with you
Forget the world now
We won't let them see
But there's one thing left to do
Now that the weight has lifted
Love has surely shifted my way
Marry me
Today and everyday
Marry me
If I ever get the nerve to say hello in this café
Say you will
Say you will
AU: Was it good, bad? Should I continue with this story? If I get requests for me to upload the other two stories that I am working on, then I will. Please review.
