Chapter 2

Rachel woke up the next morning to text messages from Kurt and Mercedes. Everyone had decided that the sooner the Lake Trip, the better. So they had planned for it to be Memorial weekend, which was the upcoming weekend so the girls and Kurt had only one week to have their sleep over.

She showered and ready herself before heading downstairs for some breakfast. It was saturday so the smell of her fathers's pancakes filled the house. She childishly ran down stairs into the kitchen singing along to the Broadway show tunes that were playing on the radio. She walked in the kitchen and was stunned to find Finn sitting at the counter talking with her dad discussing basketball.

Finn heard her footsteps and turned around smiling, "Good Morning Beautiful!" Quickly realizing he was amongst her parents he glanced over at both of them. Neither of them seemed to mind. They were glad Finn was back in her life, just as much as she was.

"Finn! Hi. Good morning! What are you doing here? Not that I don't want you here, I'm just stunned, and glad I got dressed before I came down stairs." She walked over and gave him a hug.

Her dad interjected, "Finn was stopping by to leave your purse. You left it in his truck last night after your Glee club dinner."

She grabbed a seat on the stool next to Finn, "Oh right. You didn't have to bring it this early. I could have easily met you later on."

He handed her the purse, "I don't mind. It's nice spending time with the Berry's again. And honestly, I've really missed Pancake Saturday." He laughed nodding towards her father. "Is it alright if I stay for Breakfast, Mr. Berry?"

Rachel shot her father a smile he just couldn't say no to, not that he had any reason to. Rachel's father and dad, both knew how much she loved Finn, as did they. Last year when she and Finn had dated, Finn had come over every Saturday for Pancakes. He took day trips with them to museums and plays. They loved Finn Hudson, and they loved him for Rachel. They were as happy as she was that they were back together. "Of course you can Finn, we'd love to have you."

Rachel clapped her hands together, gave Finn a peck on the cheek and grabbed a stack of plates, "I'll set the table."

Finn stood up grabbing some glasses, "I'll help!"

Hiram looked over at Leroy who was smiling with joy as he flipped a pancake, "Just like old times!"

After breakfast Finn offered to drive Rachel over to Mercedes house where she was going to meet her and Kurt to discuss the sleepover plans. Rachel kissed Finn goodbye and jumped out of the truck shouting back, "Love you, text you when I'm ready!"

Finn shouted back, "Love you more!"

He began to drive over to Puck's house where he and Sam were waiting. They were going to help Sam apply everywhere for a Summer job. And maybe find one where they could all work together. When he got there, both boys were waiting outside and jumped in the truck.

"Hey man, whats up? How was breakfast at Berry's?" Puck asked fiddling with the radio trying to find a good song.

"Yea, I hear her father makes the best pancakes." Sam asked looking over at Finn over Pucks mohawk.

Finn smiled, "Yea he does. It was awesome! I've missed it."

Just then puck yelled, "Hell Yea! This is my jam." All three boys laughed and began to dance and sing a long.

They pulled in to the parking lot of Sheets N' Things. It was their first stop and since Finn and Puck used to have jobs there, they thought this was the best place to start.

Meanwhile at Mercedes house, Rachel and Kurt were singing along to Defying Gravity when Mercedes walked in from the other room with notepads and pens, "Alright guys, time to plan the best girls night. Ever!"

They gathered around in a circle and began to pencil down some ideas.

"I think we could do it at my house. We can use my dad's Oscar room?" Rachel said looking up at Mercedes and Kurt.

Kurt clapped both hands together, "That's a great idea. I can put on a show for everyone on the stage. Show you ladies how its done."

Mercedes looked up at Kurt, "Please, you both know I'm the best!"

Rachel chimed in, "We can have a competition, like partner up and sing songs. It would be awesome entertainment."

The three of them made finishing touches on all of the details for the slumber party that would take place on monday night. They sent out text messages to all the girls and everyone responded with a yes but Lauren.

Zizes had been accepted to a wrestling camp all summer and she had to leave the next day. She'd be gone for the next two months. Before Lauren left she and Puck had decided to end their "relationship" of things. It'd be better for the both of them. Especially since Lauren was sure to find a super hunky wrestler quite liker herself at camp, was how she put it.

Bummed that all of the girls weren't going to be there, they still went on with the plan.

Soon enough it was Monday evening and Rachel was just finishing up taking down extra pillows and blankets to the Oscar room. Her dad's were going to be gone that evening at a convention in a nearby town so the girls had the house to themselves. It was seven o' clock on the dot when the doorbell rang. Mercedes and Kurt stepped in and made there way to the basement.

Mercedes looked around, "Hey girl, everything looks good."

Kurt walked over to them, "I'm excited we're doing this, but I'm a little worried about Blaine tonight!"

The boys had decided that since the "girls" were having a sleepover that they should have a guys night too. Finn thought since his brother was going to be with the girls, Blaine could come along with them. He was practically part of the New Directions anyways.

"I'm sure he'll be fine. Finn is there, don't worry." Rachel said, reaching out to hug Kurt.
