Early the next morning, Rachel Berry was awake and getting ready for her first day back at school and unlike most of the other kids at McKinley; she couldn't wait to get back. It had been an amazing summer, her talent had improved and now it was time for her to get back to The New Directions, she was already working on numbers to suggest for this year's sectionals. Just as she was putting on her lip gloss her cell phone started to vibrate, she saw Finn's name appear on the screen.

As she opened the text a huge smile spread across her face.

'Good morning beautiful. Can't wait to see you again today. I'll pick you up from your house at 7:15. I love you, Finn.'

She and Finn had survived another summer together and they were at their strongest. Every morning when he woke up he would send her a text and every night before she slept she would send him one.

'Morning? Finn you should have been awake at least an hour ago! It's the first day back, make sure that you have a shower and don't forget any of your things. It's going to be a good year. Oh and, I love you xx'

Rachel could hear her dads talking to each other downstairs, the radio was playing and she could smell the bacon cooking. She grabbed her bag and headed downstairs.

"Good morning!" She said with a smile on her face and a spring in her step as she walked into the kitchen. She walked to the fridge and got herself some orange juice. As she sat down on a chair, one of the dads kissed the top of her head.

"Morning sweetie, did you sleep well? We're making a big breakfast so you will have all of your energy at school today. Do you need a ride?"

"Good morning! Yes, I slept well thank you Dad. Mm it smells great, don't forget the waffles! And no, Finn is picking me up soon and we're going to go with Kurt and Blaine... I think."

When Rachel and Finn weren't spending time alone, they were always with Kurt and Blaine. They called themselves the Fabulous Four... although Finn never really agreed to the nickname. Blaine had decided just before the summer started that he wanted to transfer to McKinley, being a part of The New Directions was what he wanted now that he was with Kurt.

"Oh is he now? Well as long as he drives carefully with you Princess."

Rachel smiled at her other Dad; he was always the more protective one even if it didn't suit him. He was always looking for ways to catch Finn out, but he knew that Finn would never do anything to harm Rachel; he was the perfect guy for her.

They all sat together at the table whilst they ate their breakfast. The music was playing on the radio and just looking out of the window they could see that it was going to be a gorgeous day. About ten minutes after they had all finished the doorbell rang. Rachel flew to the door and quickly opened it to find her tall and very attractive boyfriend standing there with a smile on his face. He quickly grabbed her as she jumped into his arms, he had only just seen her the day before but even that felt like she had been away from him for too long. He put her down and she skipped back into the house to get her bag.

They both said goodbye to Rachel's dads before they left and then walked down her driveway to where his old truck was waiting for them. He opened the door for her to get in like a perfect gentleman. He started the engine and backed out into the street. This year was going to be good, they could both tell. His hand was on the gear stick, as she put her hand on the top of his he got something that he always felt when she was around, Butterflies.
