Chapter 10: The Show Must Go Own
It was almost 11pm, when the boys had gone outside Mr. Schue's tent to make sure he was sound asleep. They slowly peeked in, and walked around to make sure all the chaperone's were in their tents. Once they've realized they were asleep, they walked on over to the girls tent giving them the signal it was okay to come outside.
Puck and Sam shaked the tent a bit shook the girls tent a bit, laughing a bit.
"Oh my God, it's an earthquake! Everyone hide!" Brittany said screaming grabbing a hold of her pillow.
Mercedes rolled her eyes. "We can't hide anywhere, we're in a freaking tent!"
Puck then opened the tent. "Would you shut up. You're gonna wake up the teachers. Just come outside do you can help us with the stuff." Puck said quickly, he then sprinted out of the tent and grabbed the 2 boxes of beer from Artie's lap. He walked on over to the lake where the other guys were hanging around.
The girls got up from the tent, making sure they weren't making to much noise, bringing the bags of junk food, soda, and candy they were carrying. Mercedes started setting up the sound speakers and her iPod.
Tina walked over to her setting down the bag of chips she carried over. "Are you sure the teachers won't wake up? Or if this is even a good idea.." She asked a bit paranoid.
Mercedes stood up, putting her hands on Tina's shoulders. "Relax Everything is going to be fine. We're like a mile away from the campsite, near this AMAZING lake. Who knows when we're going to be able to do this again. Might as well enjoy it." She smiled a bit.
Tina nodded, hugging Mercedes. "You're right."
Back in the girls tent.
Santana and Rachel were both still inside the girls tent getting ready.
"You ready?" Santana said looking over at Rachel taking the dirt off her jeans, getting up.
Rachel smirked. "Let's do this."
Santana smiled back. "Break a leg, Rachel Berry."
They both slowly walked outside making their way to the lake. Rachel was slightly nervous, and Santana sensed it as they walked closer and closer over to everyone. She started whispering in Rachel's ear.
"Confidence is key." She said, smiling as they stopped walking. Everyone looked up, astonished. The girls had their mouths open, slightly smiling, but still very shocked.
"Santana looks kind of hot tonight." Sam said quietly.
"Dude, that's Rachel." Puck said shaking his head, he couldn't believe it. Clearly, Rachel has borrowed Santana's clothing. She was wearing a slim black dress that stopped a bit above her knees, matching black heels, hear was down, slightly curled then usual, and even had a bit of make-up on. She looked hot.
"I've done well." Santana smirked taking Rachel's hand, and walking over to Tina and Quinn standing near a tree.
Quinn and Tina looked over at Rachel, Tina's hand on her mouth, smiling.
"Oh my God.. what have you done to her?" Quinn asked raising an eyebrow.
"Oh please, you WISH you looked like her tonight." Santana rolled her eyes, she looked over to Rachel. "C'mon let's go find Finn." She said excitedly.
"Santana I don't know If I'm ready for this." She said as she was being dragged off by Santana.
"Oh don't be a whiny bitch. This is your chance, do you want to get him back or not?" She stopped, slightly annoyed Rachel might ACTUALLY be backing down, after all she did for her! That little ungrateful troll. She thought.
Rachel shook her head. "No, I want to get him back. But maybe If I just talked to him about it.." Rachel pleaded.
"No. You are going in there, and making him suffer. Just like how he made you suffer." She smiled sinisterly.
Just then, Finn walked by carrying a box of beer and settling it down. Rachel spotted him, his adorable self as usual. She had to do this. "The show must go on." She said with determination in her eyes. "Fine." She looked back over towards Santana, walking again.
"Just remember everything I taught you. Go get em' Rachel." She said, patting Rachel's back, motioning her towards the guys.
"Thanks." Rachel replied, taking a deep breathe in, as she smiled making her way over to Finn.
Finn was talking to Artie as he opened a bottle of beer. He started laughing at something he said when he saw Rachel coming over to him.
"Hey Rach-" He stopped mid way. His eyes opened wide, and a bit of a smile escaped his lips. "R-Rachel, what are you wearing?" He said slowly.
"Do you like it?" She smiled seductively, biting her lip.
"Uh-Uh.. you.. uhm.. you.." Finn stuttered.
Puck then walked up behind him. "What he's trying to say, is that you look hot, and he totally wants to have sex with you right now." He picked up a beer.
Finn slapped Puck's shoulder. "I didn't say that."
"But you were thinking it." He mentioned walking away from them.
Rachel giggled. "It's fine, Finn." She shook her head, clearing a strand of hair off of her eyes.
"You really do look great...why are you dressed like that though?" Finn asked, sort of curious. He was expecting knee socks and pink sweaters, not Santana 2.0
Rachel sat down. "I don't know.. to impress you I suppose." She said with half a smile.
Finn sat down next to her, confused. "Impress me? Why do you need to impress me?" He asked.
Rachel looked at him, shaking her head. She couldn't do it. She couldn't face him. It hurt too much. She was about to spill everything right then and there.
Rachel breathed in, trying to calm herself. "Because.." She started...
"So guys! I hate to be a cock-blocker here.. but Rachel do you wanna dance?" Santana said putting an arm around Rachel.
Finn looked even more confused. "Since when were you two... friends?" He asked getting up.
Santana crossed her shoulders. "Since always, Finnocence."
"You two were yanking at eachother's hair just a few hours ago..." Finn fought back.
"Well that doesn't matter! The past is the past, right? C'mon let's go dance!" Santana said quickly as she dragged Rachel away from Finn and started to dance.
"What is up with you? Why were you about to crack back there?" Santana whispered angrily at Rachel while dancing.
"It's not my fault. It's just... I don't think I can do this. I'm not you. I can't be you, I can't be evil, or sneaky, or a bitch. I'm just Rachel." She looked down.
Santana merely rolled her eyes at Rachel's words. "You are Rachel Berry. Just act."
"I can't! Are you not hearing ANYTHING I'm saying to you?" Rachel said in frustration.
"Fine, then throw everything away. Let him get away with this. But just so you know, nice people get nowhere in life. It's the bad-asses that make history. Remember that, dwarf." She said with spite in her voice as she walked away from Rachel.
Rachel looked at Santana as she walked away. She has a point, ugh. You know things are bad when SANTANA starts making sense. Rachel cleared the dirt off of her shirt, and proceeded with the plan. She needed to be the ultimate skank. No way Finn could resist her tonight. Sweet revenge is a go.
She walked over to where all the guys where sitting down, and smiled as she put herself on Finn's lap. She wrapped one arm around his shoulder and started whispering in his ear.
"I can't wait for tonight."
"Your all I can think about."
"My body is aching for you, baby."
Finn smiled nervously, well this wasn't awkward. His girlfriend was whispering sexy things into his ear, and he's supposed to remain calm about this... He tried to lift Rachel off of his lap so he can talk to her but realized something was wrong. There was a huge bulge in between his jeans. Uh-oh.
"Wait! Rachel don't get up!" He said quickly sitting her back down.
Rachel was startled. "What? What?" She said looking around.
"Uhm, you kind of have to sit down for a little while longer..." He said looking down.
"Why?" She stared at him confused.
"You..uh... well...you know that problem..." Finn started saying quietly, a bit embarrassed.
"oh... OH!" Rachel said, her eyes widened open a bit. "Yeah well, I might as well get a bit more comfortable since I'm gonna be here a long time." She said, putting her arm around his neck, playing with the ends of his hair.
"Get a tent!" Puck screamed from behind.
"Jealous douche." Sam said rolling his eyes.
"Takes one to know one." Puck fired back.
Sam got up. "What's that supposed to mean?"
"It means you tried to kill me when we were on that stupid highway, over a girl, A GIRL!" Puck said raising his voice.
"She's not just a girl, SHE'S QUINN!" Sam said.
"Look, I am NOT going to repeat this fight with you again. You win, okay? Have your prize, I can care less." Puck walked away with a beer in hand over to the lake.
Sam shook his head and walked away, he won. But why did he feel like crap?
Rachel and Finn looked at eachother worriedly. "I better go talk to him" Rachel said getting up.
Rachel sprinted over to where Puck was and stood behind him. He was sitting on the dock's edge staring openly onto the lake's water.
"I'm sorry." Rachel said sitting down next to him.
"Why are you sorry? You didn't do anything." Puck said annoyed.
"I know, but I'm still sorry. I know how much you cared for her.." Rachel said.
"CARED. Not anymore. She's too complicated. Her and I just aren't meant to be. Even if we did have a kid.. we're just too different people." Puck said looking away from Rachel.
"True, but you do bring out the best in one another. And sometimes the people who are the most different from each other create the best chemistry. You and Quinn had chemistry Puck, one thing Sam and Quinn will never have. It's not just about Beth.." She said, putting her hand on his shoulder.
Puck shook his head. "Yeah well, not he's got her." Puck stood up. "Now someone else can make her happy, I don't need her. I don't need anyone." He shook Rachel's hand off of his shoulder.
"Yeah but, she needs you. You need to be there for her." Rachel said.
Puck grew angry. "NO! Why should I? When was she EVER there for me? When did she EVER care about me? She can't tie me down. She has Sam now, so whatever."
He started walking as Rachel kept trying to talk to him, "But Puck-"
He stopped and looked back. "NO Rachel, no. I know your just trying to help but please, don't. I really just want to be alone right now. Please." He pleaded.
Rachel hugged him tight. "Fine. Just don't wander off to far, okay?" She smiled a bit.
Puck nodded. "You can't tell me what to do" He said playfully.
Rachel opened her mouth, shocked. "Of course I can!" She said laughing.
"Alright fine whatever." He said walking away.
Rachel sighed. She's just never able to get through to him, ah well. She sprinted towards Finn who smiled as he watched her come up to him wrapping his hands in hers.
"What he say?" Finn asked curiously, Puck was still his best friend, even if he makes mistakes.
Rachel shook her head. "He just wants to be alone." Rachel replied.
"Oh, yeah well just give him some time.." He shrugged, giving Rachel a half smile.
Rachel nodded, she then dragged him away from everyone off to where the tents were.
Finn was confused, Rachel was never like this. He questioned, "Rachel where are we going?" He asked as he was being led away from everyone.
"You'll see." Rachel giggled, continuing walking.
Finn was never that good with surprises, but knowing Rachel, it was probably good.
"Ta-da!" Rachel said reaching up to her tent, extending her arms.
Finn raised an eyebrow. "Yes... it's awesome... it's just a tent though, I don't see what's so special about it." He said.
Rachel waved her index finger in his face. "It's what inside Finn Hudson." She slowly, opening the tent to reveal red and pink flower pedals, and comfy sheets inside the tent.
"Wow.. you made it look... kind of nice." He said, he really wasn't much of a romantic person, but Rachel was, so he'll just go with it.
Rachel frowned. "You don't like it." She said quietly.
Finn replied quickly, "No no baby, I love it, it's really awesome you'd do all of this." He said with a smile.
Rachel looked up. "I know. And the best part is..." She said unzipping the back of her dress..
Finn stopped, "What are you doing? What if someone sees us?" Finn said trying to keep her dressed.
Rachel merely rolled her eyes. "Everyone is out by the lake, they won't even realize we're gone, besides you promised we'd do it before we go back to school, and I'm more than ready, Finn Hudson. So come here." She said pulling him onto her, talking off her dress, showing her black lingerie underneath. She really went all out.
She then took off his shirt and bit her lip seductively as she tried to unbuckle his already tight jeans.
"Wait, Rachel!" He said, raising his voice a little.
"Is something wrong?" Rachel asked innocently.
"Rachel I can't do this, I have to tell you something.. and I know you're not going to like it..." Finn turned around, grabbing a hold of his shirt.
"Oh what can it possibly be? My dear Finn, I love you, you ARE my world, you couldn't possibly do anything to make me hate you. You care for me, and you treat me right, you're amazing, Finn." She said putting her hand on her heart, smiling with her usual puppy dog eyes.
"Please Rachel don't make this harder as it is." Finn groaned.
"I mean, it's not like you're not a virgin. THEN I'd be mad, and I'd possibly have to break up with you, but we don't have to worry about that, now do we?" Rachel's face turned a bit more serious, her arms folded.
Finn laughed nervously, "No of course not... why do you know something that I don't?" Finn asked quickly.
"No, no why would I? I mean even if you slept with someone, it wouldn't be anyone like SANTANA now would it be? Because that would be more of a problem... then I'm SURE we would break up..." Rachel commented even louder, this time being completely serious.
Finn looked at her in confusion, and then looked left and right for a minute. "Do you think I slept with Santana" He asked leaning into her, quietly.
"I KNOW YOU SLEPT WITH SANTANA YOU FREAKING IDIOT!" Rachel blurted out yelling, grabbing a hold of a pillow and smacking it against his head repeatedly.
Finn ducked, trying to cover his face with his hands."Ow, Rachel I'm sorry! Okay I'm sorry! Stop hitting me!" He said getting her pillow and threw it to the side of the tent.
Rachel was now in tears, she couldn't believe it. "How can you do this to me? You out of all people." She sobbed.
"I'm sorry.. I wasn't thinking. I was going to tell you sooner, but I was afraid you'd get mad and break up with me." He frowned.
Rachel looked at him shocked. "Are you serious? You would have let me have sex with you, just because you were afraid I'd get mad and break up with you?" She looked at him shaking her head.
Finn shrugged. "Well yeah, I love you Rachel, and you should know that this was BEFORE we went out, we weren't together.. okay? So you really have no reason to be mad." He said.
"But you LIED to me Finn. YOU. LIED." She repeated. "I trusted you..." She looked down.
"You still can, look I don't know what else to say besides sorry, I just really hope you can forgive me..." He too was on the verge of tears, but he breathed in, he made a mistake, and these are his consequences, he knew this was coming, it's just a matter now of whether she'll take him back.
Rachel played with her fingers. "You really do love me?" She asked.
"Yes.. I do.." "Rachel I love you more than anything.. and I know you're mad.. but I'm just sorry." He lost his words. That was really all he could say for right now.
Rachel simply nodded and moved herself to the back of the tent, she laid down on a pillow and thought.
"So that's it? You aren't going to say anything else?" Finn asked confused.
Rachel shook her head. "No, I will. I just need some time to think." She said quietly.
Finn laid down on the opposite side of the tent, his arms folded to his chest, looking up blankly. This was going to be a long night... He thought.
So what's going to happen next? Will Rachel forgive Finn? Or will she dump him? And what about Puck? Will he get into mischief as well? Sue Sylvester will be returning next chapter, it's going to be quite funny how she pops up too. OH and what about Sam and Quinn? What are they going to do?
