Hello everyone! It might be a little late in the day but there is an update, as promised! This one is gonna be an AWESOME chapter! Very cute. Also, I think this might be a little different than Dani's original story. I'm gonna drop the storyline with Rachel's dad being a cop. Sorry! That would've caused too much conflict with what I'm planning. Plus, I'm REALLY bad at writing angst. So without further ado,

ENJOY!(:

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Glee or the song "Dreaming" by One Direction or "Love Story" by Taylor Swift.

Mr. Schuester had a hard time picking only 12 people to join the New Directions. About 20 tried out. About 5 or 6 of them were truly tone-deaf. But the rest were actually good. One particularly tall new guy stood out to him. Finn Hudson. He was really good at singing. He'd like to have him join. He'd be a great person for people to do duets with, too. He thinks his voice has about the same amount of power as Rachel. Maybe he'd be one of the only people who could do a duet with Rachel without her overpowering him. Rachel has overpowered a LOT of people in the past year. Sam, Tina, Quinn, Brittany, and even Kurt. She overpowered most of the glee club. The only one that could MAYBE overpower Rachel is Mercedes. Mr. Schuester finally made his decision and printed out the list of names.

Rachel came to school early just to see the list. When she got to the hallway were the list was in, there was already a croud of about 15 people there. Including Finn and Santana. She saw people with long faces walking away, she saw Quinn who was smiling hugely, and she saw people that looked quite angry. When she finally go to the list, she saw the names.

Rachel smiled ear-to-ear when she saw herself, Santana, and Finn on the list.

"Hey, I actually made it!" said Finn with a wide grin. "I didn't think I did that well."

"Don't lie, Finn! You know you did great." Rachel said.

"Oh hey, Rach! I didn't see you there!" he said with an even bigger smile than before.

"Haha. Hey Finn!" Rachel said with a giggle.

"You wanna walk me to my locker? I think school's gonna start soon."

"Of course, Finn!" Rachel said. They start walking side by side.

Finn thinks that he should officially ask her out soon, but he doesn't know when or how to do it. He's only really had one girlfriend before since he was homeschooled before he went to McKinley and his last girlfriend was the girl that lived next door to him when he was 4. He moved a month after they started 'dating'. He has no clue how to ask Rachel out. He thinks and thinks but then he thinks of the perfect way. He should sing to her. But what song? He'll have to think about it. He decides he'll go through his iTunes library when he gets home today and find the perfect song and then ask her out tomorrow.

"Hey Rachel?" Finn asks.

"Yea?"

"Can you come to the auditorium tomorrow after school? I gotta ask you something important." Finn asked shyly.

"Sure Finn! I'll be there! I gotta go. I'll see you in Glee!" Rachel says waving at him.

xXx

Glee is in 6th period right after lunch. They go over some stuff like Sectionals and winning and stuff. Rachel sits next to Santana and Finn in the first row on the right.

"I wanna try something. Finn, Rachel. Come here." Mr. Schuester said.

Finn and Rachel get up and aproach Mr. Schuester slowly and unsurely.

"I want you guys to sing a duet. Your voices would balance eachother out perfectly." said Mr. Schuester with much confidence in his voice. He gives them both sheetmusic.

"I love this song!" Rachel said.

"I've heard of it." said Finn. "I think I know the whole thing. I'll sing harmony." said Finn.

"Ok let's get started!" said Mr. Schue

"We were both young when I first saw you.

I close my eyes and the flahback starts"

They both sing. Mr. Schuester was very right. Their voices go perfectly together. Beautiful.

"I'm standing there. On the balcony in summer air."

Rachel is very surprised. Almost no one could sing a duet with Rachel without herself overpowering the other voice. But Finn's much different. His voice is really powerful.

"See the lights, see the party the ball gowns. See you make your way through the crowd and say 'hello'. Little did I know..."

Rachel and Finn continued. Finn thought their voices sounded... actually, really good together! Now Rachel's solo was coming up. He loves her voice so much. Finn thinks that Rachel has one of the best voices in the world. He's never heard a voice that could make him cry before.

"You were Romeo you were throwing pebbles and my daddy says stay away from Juliet. And I was crying on the staircase begging him please don't go. And I said Romeo take me somewhere we could be alone. I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run. You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess."

That ended Rachel's solo. Finn wasn't sure if he was crying or not. It became a usual thing to cry when Rachel sang.

"It's a love story, baby. Just say yes."

They sang the 'Yes' in unison. Finn thought that sounded really cool. Finn sang the next verse with Rachel on harmony. Then Rachel sang the pre-chorus and the chorus. They both sang the bridge. And then Finn sang,

"Marry me Juliet, you'll never have to be alone. I love you and that's all I really know. I talked to your dad. Go pick out a white dress. It's a love story, baby. Just say yes."

And that was the end of the first of many of their duets. Everybody clapped for them. Finn felt really appreciated when they did. All of a sudden, Rachel pulled him into a hug. When Finn started hugging her back, he found the perfect song that sums up the feelings he has for Rachel perfectly. Maybe Rachel will be the one doing the crying this time.

xXx

Rachel wonders all of 2 days what Finn's gonna ask her. Will it be good or bad? Is he gonna ask her to do a duet or something? Does he already have a girlfriend? Rachel's dying to find out. She hopes that whatever it is will be good. She wouldn't know how to deal with it if he told her something bad or heartbreaking or sad. Rachel decides she's just worrying herself over nothing. She's sure it won't be bad.

When class finally ends, Rachel darts to her locker, grabs her stuff and quickly heads for the auditorium. Finn is already there and standing on the stage.

"Hey Rach. Come up here!" he says loudly.

Rachel does what she's told. She quickly ran to the stage right in front of him

"I have something to ask you, but I can't say it. So I decided that I'm gonna sing it."

"Ok, Finn! Go ahead."

"I'm thinking of you tonight and there's nothing I want more than be by your side."

Rachel immediately recognized the song. Dreaming. She felt the tears rush to her eyes quickly.

"And let you grab so tight to me as you whisper the word 'goodnight' to me late at night"

She's crying now. She's sure that the smile she has on her face is the biggest one she ever has had on her face. Finn thinks that she's beautiful when she smiles like that. It lights up the whole world. He walks up to her slowly. When he gets to her, he cups her face with his hand. Rachel's smile grows bigger if thats even possible. He wipes the tear from her cheek with his thumb.

"Oh I love you its true. You mean everything to me. Words can't explain how I feel. I must be dreaming when I'm awake."

When Finn finishes the song, Rachel pulls him into a tight hug. She wants to hold on to him forever but there was something more important to be done. She pulls away and kisses him for the second time. This one was much longer than the other quick kiss last time and much more passionate. Like they've done this for years. After about 10 seconds, Rachel pulled away.

"Rachel, what I wanted to ask you is... is-"

"Yes, Finn." Rachel said as if she knew exactly what he was thinking. He smiled as he leaned down to kiss her lips one more time.

Awww cute ending, huh? Finchel is so adorable. Thanks for reading, everyone! Please review!
