A/N: I suddenly realize that I haven't been very descriptive of certain details. I would like to clarify. Everyone is 25 or so. The TV show Glee never happened. They didn't know each other in high school, Finn and Rachel met through mutual friends. The Glee kids all know each other and Kurt is still Finn's brother. For some reason, I picture them living in California or somewhere else warm. I'd like to thank AleshaaaRose10 for pointing these things out! I'd like to apologize for the Barry/Berry fiasco. I didn't know how to spell it so I guessed. I guessed wrong. My bad. Anyway, thank you and enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own Glee. Ryan Murphy is ignoring me. I probably couldn't buy it from him anyway. Sigh…
Chapter 3
"Alright so step one, show up at her house before the date," Puck instructed.
Finn raised an eyebrow and inquired, "Why?"
"Because you need to give her something to think about during the date. Say that you came over to hang out and that you forgot about her date. Then tell her that she looks stunning and that any guy would kill to be with her," Puck replied.
"Dude, you should write a book," Finn said in awe.
"I know," he replied matter-of-factly, "Next, you'll have to flirt with her constantly, but subtlety. Dance with her when the opportunity arises, sing with her at karaoke bars, and compliment her constantly."
Finn nodded, urging him to continue.
"Then, you assert your dominance to Jesse. Let him know that you're not going anywhere."
Finn raised an eyebrow dubiously, but said nothing.
"In cases like these, the women will be very persistent. You need the boyfriend to realize her feelings and dump her."
"I don't want him to dump her. That'll break her heart," Finn argued.
"Not for long, you'll be right there to steal her heart. Now shut up and pay attention," Puck commanded.
Finn considered protesting, but he shut his mouth and nodded obligingly.
"Good. Now, between asserting your dominance and him dumping her, you'll have to get a girl and go on a double date. Then you dump her and tell Rachel that she wasn't the type of girl that you liked. The girl has to be the polar opposite of Rachel."
Finn nodded and smiled at the plan.
"I'm gonna set a deadline for you."
"A deadline? Why?" Finn inquired.
Puck rolled his eyes and replied, "You can't chase her for that long. She might actually fall in love with this guy."
Finn frowned at the thought of Rachel falling for anyone other than him.
"What's my deadline?" he inquired.
"New Year's Eve. You go to the party, get her alone and tell her that you love her."
Finn nodded and smiled. Rachel would love the romance and the drama of all that.
"Thanks dude. I really appreciate this. It means a-"Finn began.
"Let's not pansy up man. We're both men here," Puck interrupted.
Finn nodded briskly.
"So," Finn began, "Who is she?"
Finn looked at Finn with a shocked look on his face and replied, "I don't know what you're talking about."
Finn chuckled and said, "Whenever I mention getting serious with any girl you tell me not to, and you certainly don't give me advice. Who's the girl you like? The one who you're trying to win over."
Puck smiled and replied, "Her name is Lauren Zices. (A/N: If anyone knows how to spell her last name, please tell me!) She's not normally my type, but she's so cool. She's hard to get and I like big girls. I'm in love."
Finn started laughing insanely.
Puck smiled and said, "Ok. Laugh all you want, but you're on love with Rachel Berry."
Finn stopped laughing immediately and defended, "What does that mean? Rachel is amazing."
"Sure she's cool, but you're as much of a player as me, except you're not as good. If you can fall in love then I can too."
Finn smiled again and nodded.
"We're growing up, I guess," Finn admitted.
Puck laughed and replied, "Maybe you are, but the Puckmaster doesn't grow up. He doesn't need to."
Finn laughed again and stood to leave.
"Sure he doesn't," Finn teased.
"Whatever. Where are you going?" Puck inquired.
"I'm gonna make sure Sam is cool. And that Quinn isn't mad at us for getting him drunk."
"Geez, she is so uptight about wherever he goes since he proposed."
"Well, we don't exactly ignore chicks when we go out, so she's probably scared that he'll leave her."
"They're so smitten it's disgusting."
Finn nodded his assent and turned to leave.
Finn made sure to slam the door on the way out, just to hear Puck scream, "God dammit Finn!"
He smiled widely.
(At Sam and Quinn's house)
Finn knocked on the door of their nice condo, waiting anxiously for Quinn to answer the door.
Puck was right when he said that Quinn was a little uptight when it came to Sam's whereabouts.
Quinn and Sam were so in love that it was disgusting, but it also gave him hope for a future with Rachel.
Sam had stolen Quinn away from Finn, and at first Finn had hated him for it, but eventually he forgave both of them. They've been close ever since. Finn was even Sam's best man.
Quinn opened the door and immediately a frown spread across her face.
"What are you doing here?" she inquired sourly.
"I just wanted to check on Sam. Can I come in?" Finn replied.
Quinn hesitated before swinging the door open and stepping aside.
Finn decided that he needed to make up with Quinn immediately. The wedding was in a week and she was under enough stress as is.
"So Quinn," he began, Quinn turned toward him, "Sorry that we all got a little drunk last night. We were celebrating the wedding."
Quinn wasn't buying it because she rolled her eyes. Finn decided to try another tactic.
"I regret it. Sam is annoying when he's drunk."
She raised an eyebrow and Finn knew he had captured her interest.
"Yeah, all he talks about is… I should stop. He'd get really embarrassed," Finn said.
"No," Quinn said eagerly, "I mean, no. You can tell me. What does he talk about?"
Finn hid a smile at his plan working.
"Well, all he talks about is how much he loves you. It's sickening," he replied.
"Oh," Quinn said, suppressing a smile.
Finn knew that she had forgiven him and Sam.
Quinn led Finn to the kitchen where he found Sam sitting at the counter with a sandwich.
Quinn walked over and kissed him on the cheek before leaving.
"I love you," she shouted back.
Sam raised an eyebrow and Sam knew that his suspicion of Quinn being mad at Sam was correct.
Finn smiled and shrugged.
