. Finn sat at the phone with Phillip, the show had been picked up for a full season and they were calling the cast. They'd been at it for an hour and just finished. It was November and the year was winding down, for now at least the filming started again at the end of December.
The up fronts would be soon and the show was hitting high ratings already, Rachel had offers flying in every direction and Finn even had an offer for an acting job, acting beside his girlfriend. Everything was hectic, but they wouldn't have it any other way, this was basically their dream in high school, they were living it now, only one thing was missing for Finn.
"So are we all done for the night Phil?" Finn asked looking at the time, it was six, he was supposed to be making supper tonight.
"We are, I'll see you at the upfronts in a week." Phil answered, waving as Finn left. He drove and picked up a couple pizzas for supper before driving home.
"Rachel! Kurt! I'm home and I have food!" he called walking into the house the boxes balance on his hand.
"Oh Finn you're home! Daniel's on the phone for you." Rachel said taking the boxes and handing him the phone.
"Hey, Danny boy, how are you?" Finn asked smiling as he grabbed cups and plates and set them on the counter, the phone tucked between his ear and shoulder.
"Good Finn, I'm doing good. I just wanted to call in and say Hey, the whole club watched the show last week, we know it's only the pilot but still, it's epic. Please tell me you got signed on for the full season." Daniel's voice sounded from the phone speaker.
"We got signed! I'm glad you liked it, Rachel and I have an interview on ET tomorrow night, make sure you watch it you'll get all the info there."
"Sweet, I'll watch that, well I gotta go, I have plans for dinner."
"Hot date Danny boy?"
"Shut up before you even start. Talk to you some other time Finn."
"Bye Danny." Finn hung up and grabbed a plate and three slices of pizza. "So how was everyone's day?"
"It was good, we watched TV all day." Kurt answered, taking a drink of iced tea.
"Sounds enlightening."
"Well we're not all busy music/TV producer/actors, you know Finn."
"Okay you two another sibling argument cannot be taken today, you had one this morning." Rachel piped up before eating, Finn and Kurt sighed.
Later that night they all headed to bed Finn was so tired he was out before he even hit the pillows, Rachel just laughed and sat up reading her scripts for an audition. She went to sleep at eleven, needing her sleep for the interview tomorrow.
Rachel and Kurt stood looking at Finn from the side of the bed, it was noon and he still wasn't awake. They had water at the ready if nothing worked this time.
"Finn, its noon, if you don't drag your sorry ass out of this bed, we will call your body guard to do it." Kurt told him sitting in the chair beside the bed and poking his brother, he had his iPod remote ready.
"Well that didn't work." Rachel pointed out turning the intercom speaker up. "Plan B?"
"Plan B, you get the water I'll get the music." Kurt whispered standing up and backing away from the bed, Rachel lifted the bucket up above Finn and tipped it just as 'Single Ladies' blasted through the speaker. She and Kurt ran out of the room as Finn shot up in bed, dripping with freezing water.
"I'm up! You know what, you two come here, you can have a hug now." Finn called out, walking to the doorway and wrapping his arms around the two of them, drenching them in water too.
"Finn!" the yelled in unison as he let go and walked into the bathroom.
"Well I think we called that on ourselves Rachel."
"I think you're right. Finn hurry up! We have to go to the press thing in two hours." Rachel called before walking downstairs with Kurt. They were watching 'What Not To Wear' when Finn came down dressed in a suit minus the tie, Kurt simply cave him a clap.
"You picked that out yourself?" He asked Finn as if in shock.
"Well yeah, why?" Finn asked looking down to observe a problem.
"No, I'm proud of you Finn!" Kurt told him running to give him a hug, Finn reciprocated it before picking Kurt up under his arm.
"I don't see why, I pick my clothes out most of the time." Finn told him, ignoring Kurt's fists hitting his side.
"Put me down Finn."
"Magic word then maybe I'll consider it."
"Please?" Kurt said before Finn threw him on the sofa.
"Are you ready Rach?" Finn asked as he sat in his lay-z boy chair.
"I'll just run and get changed." She said jumping up and walking up the stairs. Finn started watching TV with Kurt as he waited, he didn't get the point of this show but he'd watched it enough times with his brother to understand if you were on it, it was bad.
Half an hour later Finn and Rachel were at a small press interview for the show, it went well, and they supposed it was a taste of the interview tonight. But they'd had fun, which was odd seen as Finn had been dreading it.
They sat backstage now at the ET studios, Rachel was having her make-up touched up, and Finn was sat tapping his foot. He was nervous, this was a live show tonight, and he didn't know what would happen so.
"Are you nervous or something sir?" one of the backstage workers asked as they came and hooked on his microphone.
"Well a little bit, it's my first TV interview so, should I be?" He replied as the guy backed off and sat beside him.
"Nah, it's nothing to worry about, just some questions you know, the usual."
"Oh okay, well thanks."
"No problem, now you're on in two minutes. We'll just get Miss. Berry's microphone on and you guys should be called."
"All righty then." Finn stood up and waited for Rachel to be ready, he heard the opening music to the show and the presenter start speaking so it was now or never.
"You ready?" Rachel asked as she came and stood beside him. He laughed a little and nodded.
"… alright so tonight we brought two very well-known people to the show, some saw the pilot to the new show 'Life', others have seen or heard them elsewhere so lets bring them out, we have Rachel Berry and Finn Hudson with us tonight." The audience cheered as the stage hands directed Finn and Rachel out, the camera's followed them as they went and hugged the presenter, she seemed nice-ish. They sat down and waited for the presenter to start. "Alright so lets start of simply and have you tell the audience who you are and what you do, so Finn you first?"
"Um, yeah sure, I'm Finn Hudson, I am a music producer and also one of the producers on the show 'Life'." Finn said sitting up a bit straighter in his chair.
"And you Rachel?"
"Well I'm Rachel Berry, I'm a Broadway actress and I also play the part of Jenny on the show 'Life'" Rachel answered looking over at Finn quickly, he looked like his nerves were calming down now.
"Okay so the show, the pilot aired was it a week ago now Finn?"
"Yeah it was just about a week ago now." Finn replied smiling now that he was kind of getting into the whole interview thing.
"And can you explain what it's about?"
"Well it's sorta the usual high school drama show, but it has a twist I suppose you could say, the usual high school cliques blur the lines I suppose is how it goes, so you kinda see that in the pilot but in the up coming episodes it's a lot more pronounced." Finn explained, the presenter looked at her cards and moved on to Rachel.
"Rachel you play one of the main characters in the show, Jenny, are you anything like that character or were you in high school?"
"No I wasn't, I was a lot more out there in high school, I was… a diva I guess is the word? I'm not like that now but back then I was. So no I wasn't like my character at all." Rachel answered causing Finn to laugh a little bit.
"So I see Finn laughing and that brings me to my next question. I did a bit of research and found out that Rachel and Finn attended the same high school, is that true Finn?"
"That's true, where did you find that?" Finn asked with a grin.
"Your guys' Wikipedia pages, they both have the same high school name on them."
"Oh I see, Wikipedia, I'll have to read that."
"Well it has tons of information on you Finn. Apparently you were in a band?"
"I can't say I was in a band, I played the drums though. So maybe I'll have to change that."
"Maybe. So Finn, Rachel says she was the diva in school can you back that up?"
"Well I'd get beat up if I did, but you know, Rachel was the diva." Finn laughed when Rachel hit him on the shoulder.
"So Rachel, what was Finn like in high school?"
"Finn was the person who blurred lines in high school, he was the quarterback but did Wikipedia tell you his other high school class?"
"Well if you mean the Glee Club Wikipedia is all over that." The presenter laughed, Finn just went quiet for a moment. "So is that true Finn? Were you in fact in your high school Glee Club?"
"It's true, I was in glee, I was the male lead in glee. I was just that cool." Finn responded causing the audience to laugh. "Rachel was in glee club too, we were the co-captains, I bet Wikipedia didn't have that did it?"
"No it didn't, but your step-brother Kurt, Finn, did send us a little photo."
"Oh god, which one?"
"Does 2011 glee club year book photo bring anything to mind?"
"Oh, no he didn't."
"He did now lets bring this picture up onto the screen." The presenter said when the picture of Finn and Rachel came up with the glee club sign. The crowd laughed along with Finn and Rachel when they looked at that. "So how old were you two here Rachel?"
"We were seventeen in this one." Rachel laughed.
"Alright, well moving on again to right now in the present. I have heard rumours that you Finn went from New Yorks hottest bachelor to dating, is that true?"
"Well it is, but does the rumour say who? Cause I've heard tons of different things and the make me laugh, if this one has the right name then I'll be shocked."
"This one didn't have a name but can you share who it is?"
"I don't know can I?" he asked looking at Rachel quickly she just nodded slightly. "Okay well apparently I can, so no I'm not a bachelor anymore, and my lovely girlfriend is this woman right here."
"So you and Rachel are the new couple?"
"Well I guess so, now that answers all those little rumours, that yes I'm dating and now you know who it is too, look at that for an answer." Finn laughed, ruffling his hair.
"So how long has this been going on?"
"Well we first dated in high school, but then we didn't see each other for like a decade, but then we started dating again in the last couple weeks of June."
"Wow, so that brings us to commercial, and we'll be right back…"
After the interview Finn and Rachel were swarmed with press, but they just wanted to go home and sleep, it'd been a long day. They got home two hours later and didn't even make it up stairs, they feel asleep on the pull out sofa in the living room. The realized that this would just be the beginning but they'd weathered ten years alone, this would be easy to hold on now.
So now everyone knows about Rachel and Finn and theirs only one chapter left. ooohh. :P make sure you post your ideas for a new story in the reviews or on my facebook. Shanny C Fan-Fiction
