A/N: So sorry for the delay in putting up this next chapter. I sort of struggled for an idea for this one, and I think it shows. It's probably my weakest chapter so far, and maybe will be for the entire fic. But from here on after, I'll be updating a bit more regularly, because I have ideas for the rest of the chapters. The next is actually all written, I just have to type it up. So that should be up pretty soon! Probably after the next chapter of "I Know That It's A Little Bit Frightening" goes up, as that's almost done, and I promised an update quickly, which didn't happen with me going on holidays, and it just being hot at home once I got back! So yeah, next chapter shall be up pretty soon. A teaser for the next chapter though: both Brittany and Finn experience a first. The same first actually. Not at the same time, but yeah. Haha. Cryptic-ish? Yes. Gotta keep it interesting right?

To keep the kids active over break, while school and all the activities were on hold, Rachel and Carole decided to take Brittany and Finn on a hike up the local mountain, and have a picnic dinner under the stars. Along the way up the mountain, everyone stopped to have a break, and so that Brittany and Finn could have a swim in the river. There was a nice, flat spot where people often picnicked and swam, it was halfway up the mountain. "Come on kids, we should head off again now," Carole called out to Finn and Brittany, who were having fun in the water. Once they had gotten out, and dried off, Brittany, Finn and their mums headed for the summit.
"How much longer?" Finn asked as they kept climbing. "Not much longer," Rachel replied, passing a water bottle to Brittany. "Stop being such a girl!" Brittany laughed at Finn as she took a swig from the water bottle, and passed it to Finn. "Hey!" Finn retorted as he took the water bottle from Brittany, "Just because some of us have done this before!" Brittany shrugged smugly. She had been hiking to the summit with her mum a few times before, "You're just weak," she said, poking her tongue out. Finn passed the water bottle back to Brittany's mum, "What did you say?" "You're weak," Brittany giggled. "You're so gonna get it!" laughed Finn as he ran after Brittany, who had started running up the mountain.
Once they were at the summit, Rachel and Carole started setting up dinner, while Brittany and Finn played about in the trees on one side of the clearing. "It's pretty cool up here," Finn said as he scaled a tree, so he could get to the branch Brittany was perched on. "Told you," Brittany said as she shuffled along the branch a little, so Finn had some room. "Know what's for dinner?" Brittany shrugged her shoulders, "I think our mums brought like, meat and salads and rolls... That kind of stuff." Finn nodded, then turned to face Brittany, "What do you think high school will be like?" Brittany shrugged, "No idea. But I totally want to be a cheerleader!" she said as they climbed back down from the tree for dinner.
After dinner, Brittany and Finn sat on some rocks, where they had a great view of the rest of the parklands. "So, a cheerleader?" Finn asked, remembering Brittany's remark from earlier on. "Yeah," Brittany nodded, "I think you'll be a footballer." "Hopefully..." Finn replied. Both were looking up at the star studded sky. "Look! A falling star!" Finn pointed out. "Ooooh, make a wish!" Brittany exclaimed. Both Brittany and Finn made their wish. Their parents called them back, because it was time to head back down to the cars and go home. "So, what did you wish for?" Finn asked as they headed back to their parents. "I can't tell you!" Brittany said in shock, "It wont come true if I tell you!"
"You were so shocked when I asked what you had wished for!" Finn laughed. "Yeah," Brittany said, putting the final pins in her hair, holding it back from her face, "But I couldn't, otherwise it would not have come true Finn!" "Did yours come true? Can you say?" Finn laughed softly, as he started to fix his tie. Brittany thought for a moment before she answered, "Well, it did actually. It did come true." "So did mine," Finn smiled, "What was yours?" "That we'd be best friends, forever," Brittany said as she started fixing her makeup, "What about you?"
"Well, it was exactly the same actually. That we would be best friends forever..." Finn said. Brittany looked away from the mirror for a moment, "No way!" she grinned, "Great minds think alike!" Finn winked, "They sure do." Brittany rolled her eyes at the wink, knowing how cheesy Finn could be when he wanted to, and turned back to the mirror to keep doing her makeup, "So, all ready for today?" Finn shrugged, "I guess. I mean that was another wish, to graduate and stuff." Brittany nodded, "Same." Brittany had a slim chance of graduating at one stage, but with taking a night school class in her final semester, plus help from Santana, she managed to pass pretty well.
"What do you think?" Brittany asked, turning around from the mirror to ask Finn's opinion on her hair and makeup. "Umm, you look beautiful Brittany," he smiled, "And Santana, she'll be drooling!" Brittany's jaw dropped, "You're such a perve when you want to be, you know!" she laughed. Finn shrugged, "But you love me bestie!" Brittany rolled her eyes, "Sometimes. Sometimes." Finn started polishing his shoes, when Brittany got a dress bag out of her wardrobe, "Be back in a sec," she said as she walked into her private bathroom to get changed.
