The next attempt I guess ;D. This one's a little shorter I think, but I like it, apart from the last one it's my favourite of the five scenario's.

Pairing: Finn/Quinn :D

Four Times Finn Asked Quinn to Marry Him, and One Time He Didn't

The second time Finn asked Quinn to marry him was in a play a few months later, and technically he asked her many times, but since it was the same line over and over again he thought it really did only count once.

Yeah okay so they'd left McKinley and therefore Glee Club behind them in Ohio, and okay neither was planning on a Broadway career like Rachel, or a record deal like Mercedes; but that didn't mean they were ready to stop performing yet. They had joined the College choir for a time, but found it too static and old fashioned; but when the university had decided to do Cabaret they had jumped at the chance. Finn remembered that it was a very strange play from the brief time in High School when he had read lines with Rachel. Actually seeing the whole thing from start to finish, when Quinn insisted they properly understand their roles, had not made it seem any less strange; and he was rather glad to have not auditioned for the lead male role.

He and Quinn had been given the role of Herr Schultz and Fraulein Schneider, and Quinn had initially needed several reassurances that the reason was not that she looked old and had wrinkles. Even after he'd spent half an hour tell her this, she had spent several minutes in front of her mirror screwing up her face and stretching it out before Finn got fed up, dragged her away and told her point blank that she was beautiful. He wasn't sure whether it had ended her insecurities, but it had at least made her stop actively worrying. She was perhaps more happy about the whole thing when it came to the first dress rehearsal and they had walked her through the excessive amounts of make-up they would need to use to make her look the part.

It was now the last night, and it occurred to Finn that maybe, just maybe, if he put his heart into this final performance, Quinn might understand that behind the written words and performance queues were his real feelings. Just maybe she'd understand that when he asked if she would consider his hand in marriage, he was really asking, and maybe when she looked back at him and told him that she would consider it, and said he had "good reason to be very optimistic" she too would mean it.

However, whether it had worked or not on his part, he wasn't sure. What he was sure of was that Quinn was far better at portraying her feelings than he was, and her returning lines held no more meaning than they had in every performance so far. That is to say more than enough to make the audience believe in her wholeheartedly, but no more than that. Still he put his everything into that final performance, and silently marvelled at the way her angelic voice seemed to carry over, despite being heavily accented.

And the old despair
That was often there
Suddenly ceases to be
For you wake one day,
Look around and say:
Somebody wonderful married me.

As they came off stage, she grasped his arm tightly and smiled up at him with excitement shining in her eyes.

"That was the best we've ever done it," she exclaimed quietly and he nodded as they walked back into the offstage dressing room. She released his arm and span gracefully in front of him.

"You were so believable," She said, "I'm so proud of you," and with that she hugged him tightly and gave him a short kiss on the lips as she pulled away; careful not to ruin her make-up.

He quickly buried the disappointment that she had clearly not understood him out there, he hadn't honestly expected her too if he was honest.

"You were amazing too," he replied, smiling down at her. She waved him off with some comment about missing a note and he wondered whether her spending all that time with Rachel in their senior year hadn't rubbed off on her somewhat. He shook his head and simply watched her fondly as she started reeling off the lines for her next scene to herself.

I spent forever trying to think of a play that had a song about a proposal in it and this was the closest I got XD.
