Thanks to everyone for their support, and I cannot apologize enough for not updating this last week, when I was supposed to. I got so caught up in school, and studying and all that stuff, but I know yall just want me to get on with the story so without further ado, we shall begin. I know it's late but I have been extremely busy, I have no excuse.
Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN GLEE, A Cinderella Story, or Another Cinderella Story. Also some of the lines I used in the last chapter were directly from the movie.
AN: For this Scene think of the stage like in the Prom Episode
Finn was waiting with Blaine, on Sam and Puck to be ready. The band was taking a break from playing, while the DJ took over for them. He was just talking with Blaine when something caught his eye. In walked the most beautiful girl he had ever seen in his life, she was dressed in a pink knee- length gown with her hair put up in a bun, with curls framing her face, and a silver and pink masked hid her eyes from the world. (Think Rachel's prom dress) It was as if the world stood still, and no one made a sound. Finn looked over at Blaine and saw him eyeing the boy that walked in with the mysterious girl, Finn wanted, no needed to know who this girl was, and soon saw her walking over to where he was standing.
"Kurt everyone's looking at me" said Rachel, afraid of all the attention she was getting.
"Rachel it's because you look hot, now come on you need punch" said Kurt.
Together they walked over to the punch bowl, ignoring the comments people were making about their costumes.
"Blaine, they are coming over here, be cool man be cool" Finn told Blaine.
"Okay man chill out" Blaine said.
Neither group of friends knew that they were being watched by an unfriendly crew.
"Ugh who does she think she is, waltzing in here like she owns the place, I need to find Finn, he said he was going to be dresses as a prince, but there are millions of them here." Quinn said.
"Seriously, can't guys be original" responded Santana.
"Well, when the band calls people up to sing, Finn will be on the drums, and hopefully he'll call me up there to sing" Quinn said.
Finn and Blaine stood nervously by the punch bowl, and waited for them to come over to them.
"Here they come" Blaine said.
"Hi" Finn told the girl.
"Oh, hi, that's a nice cape, or coat cause you're not wearing a cape" Rachel said.
Finn chuckled, "Thanks, I guess"
"I don't really come to these things to often" said Rachel.
"Yeah me either" said Finn.
"Would Finn and the Boys please return to the stage, with your singer of the night" the DJ announced.
"Would you like to sing with me," Finn asked Rachel.
"Sure" she responded, "And I have the perfect song to sing" she handed her IPod to the DJ and slowly both of them made their way onto the stage, where Finn talked to Sam, and Puck and told them which song they were going to sing. Quinn was watching from a distance as she saw that someone other than her was up on the stage with Finn.
"This cannot be happening; he should have taken me up there." Quinn said.
"We could do something about it" said Brittany.
"Yeah okay, prove you aren't as dumb as I think you are." Quinn responded.
"Hey don't talk to her like that" Santana said.
"Oh please, just shut up and make the girl fall when they walk off the stage."
Soon the beginning bars of Journey's Don't Stop Believing began,
(Rachel, Finn, Both)
Just a small town girl
Livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train going anywhere
Just a city boy
Born and raised in south Detroit
He took the midnight train going anywhere
A singer in a smoky room
I smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlight people
Living just to find emotion
Hiding somewhere in the night
Working hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some are born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on
As they were singing, Finn realized that this was the voice he had heard earlier in the auditorium, he needed to find out who this girl was, unfortunately he didn't have the chance.
Finn and Rachel were now out in the middle of the dance floor, spinning each other around in a circle, when at that moment Santana and Brittany decided to pull on the cord of the microphone Rachel was using, causing her to trip and land right on her butt. The song was cut off and Finn helped Rachel off the ground as people around them began to laugh.
"Are you all right?" Finn asked.
"No I fell and embarrassed myself" Rachel responded.
"You were amazing," Finn said as he pulled off his mask.
"Finn?" Rachel asked with a surprised expression on her face. She didn't have time to respond because when she looked up she saw that she only had twenty minutes until the clock would strike midnight.
"I'm sorry I have to go", she rushed up on to the stage and ran to the DJ booth trying to get her IPod back, "Can I have it back please? Today!" she said frantically.
She ran off stage and pulled Kurt away from Blaine and Finn walked up to her.
"Wait" he said. "I'm sorry, but I have to go" she replied, as she pulled Kurt's hand away her IPod fell out of her hand, and she ran out of the dance trying to get home as soon as she could. Finn picked up Rachel's IPod and watched her run away, not knowing who she was, and yet he was extremely enticed by her.
Rachel arrived home, with barely anytime to spare, she quickly ran up the stairs and situated herself on Sue's bed making it look as if she had just finished cleaning. She bid Tina and Emma goodbye, just as Sue was arriving.
"So you didn't go to the dance tonight, hmm you can listen." Sue said when she walked in the door.
"Of course, I'd never disobey you" Rachel responded with a slight smirk
"Well I'm so exhausted" Sue said and she drifted off to sleep
Rachel followed soon after dreaming of a tall talented singer, and she knew Monday would be a big day.
Sorry for making yall wait so long. I'm hoping to have the next chapter uploaded soon, but I'll be extremely busy because of school so it may be a while.
