A.N. People have been asking about maybe having Puck and Ren get together and whilst I hadn't originally considered that at all, I am considering either changing the last chapter to hint at Puckleren (he he he) or write a short one shot after this now. Anyways here's chapter five :)

Chapter Five – The Mission

The next day Renee had a mission. She was going to get her stubborn sister and that dumb but adorably sweet Finn together. She knew Rachel's fatal flaw, she knew what would push her to act but she didn't know if it would push her too far. The last thing she wanted to do was break Rachel, she wanted her to admit how she feels, but if she did this wrong it could break her. She pushed these thoughts aside as she saw Finn standing at his locker, looking confused at something inside it. Jealousy, she thought to herself, that was the emotion that would finally have Rachel spilling her secret to Finn. She took a determined breath and walked over to Finn. He glanced down at her as she arrived at his shoulder, glanced at her clothes (today she was wearing her trusty, faded blue slip on Converse) before giving her a smile.

"Morning Ren," he greeted, "How are you today?" he asked, turning his attention back to his locker.

"Not bad," she replied, "Yourself?" she asked.

"Just trying to figure out if the English homework was ..." Finn started, but Renee quickly cut him off.

"Yeah, yeah, that's fascinating Finn but I need to talk to you about Rachel," she told him as he turned to look at her, surprise written across his face.

"R ... Rachel?" he asked before clearing his throat, "What about her?" He looked curiously at Renee as she leant against the lockers next to his and crossed her arms.

"See Finn it's like this ... I've had one day in this school and I can tell you're head over heels for her. My only question is why you haven't told her?" she asked. Finn took a book out of his locker, put it in his bag and closed the locker door before turning to look at Renee and give her his complete attention.

"I've not been the best person to Rach, I've treated her pretty awful at time if I'm honest but she a great person ... I don't want to hurt her again," he admitted softly.

"That's a load of crap!" Renee exclaimed, "You're scared, scared she doesn't like you anymore, scared she'll turn you down and scared you've screwed up, admit it!" she demanded.

"I ... well scared is ..." Finn started, trying to deny it.

"Come on Finn," she sighed.

"Look I don't know you," Finn told her, "Just 'cause you look like Rach doesn't mean I'm going to instantly tell you all my deepest secrets!" he said, a little angrily.

"As far as I can see you don't tell Rachel your deepest secrets either," Renee rolled her eyes.

"Yes I do!" he exclaimed, causing a few people nearby to turn and look at the two of them confused, he lowered his voice and hissed, "I tell her everything except how I really feel about her ... She's the most awesome person I know!"

"So tell her that!" Renee hissed back. They stared at each other for a few seconds until Finn dropped his gaze.

"I can't ... you're right, I'm too scared."

"Ok ... well ... I have an idea ... but I don't think you're gonna like it much ..." she trailed off. Finn looked apprehensive but gestured her to continue. "Rachel's main flaw is her jealousy ... if someone threatens something that she thinks is hers, she will snap." She told him.

"I don't want her to get hurt," Finn said, looking a little uneasy.

"The only other way is to tell the girl how you feel but you can't do that so you need her to tell you how she feels and the only way to do that is to give her a reason ... I'm that reason." She finished. Finn looked at her blankly, not understanding.

"You're what reason?" he asked. Renee would have rolled her eyes if she didn't know he really didn't understand.

"You go out on a date with me ... or pretend we're dating or even considering dating and she will tell you how she feels ..." she sighed, "She already hates me anyway, I think she thinks I'm out to destroy her life, I don't think she'll just stand by and let me take you."

"But I really don't want to date you," he said before his eyes widened and he quickly added, "No offence, just 'cause I like Rach so much!"

Renee chuckled and smiled at his panicked expression. "Don't worry Romeo, I don't take that personally."

Renee was really nervous that afternoon. She was on her way to Glee practice and she and Finn had agreed that he would greet her with a kiss on the cheek in front of Rachel so she could see what was happening and take action but she was starting to worry about it. She knew Rachel would be pissed off, in fact she was kind of hoping for it, but she didn't want to break her sister ... just make her snap a little and she knew she was walking a fine line with this. She paused outside the choir room door and took a deep breath. Here goes. She walked into the room and instantly saw that everyone was there, including Mr. Schue and Miss Pillsbury. Rachel was sat off to one side, smiling softly at the rest of the Glee gang laughing and talking. Her eyes sought out Finn and saw him stood watching Rachel. As she walked in he looked up at her and Renee nodded at him. It was now or never.

"Hey Ren," he smiled with what he hoped was a convincingly relaxed smile. Everyone seemed to look up at his words and watched as he stood up and walked over to her. "How was your day?" he asked before leaning over and kissing her cheek. The silence that filled the room after this small gesture seemed to weigh on their ears, making it seem like the whole room had suddenly been submerged under water.

"It was ok," she smiled at him, trying to ignore the rest of the room but the sound of a chair falling over and rushed footsteps running to the door made her look around just in time to see Rachel disappearing. Her heart sank and she looked up at Finn whose face had fallen as he too stared at the now empty door. "Well that didn't go as planned," she murmured.

"What the hell Finn?" Quinn suddenly yelled from where she was sat. "I can't believe you did that! And you!" she turned to face Ren, "That's your sister! The one who just yesterday you were asking us to cut her some slack and now you're what? ... dating the guy she's basically in love with? I never thought I'd say this but I feel so sorry for Rachel."

"Whoa, ok guys calm down, this may have been my plan, which obviously backfired majorly but I just wanted these two to stop running in circles and face their damn issues!" Renee told them.

"I'm going to go after Rach," Finn told them, heading to the door, "I've got to explain there's nothing going on ..." he mumbled.

"No," Renee said, grabbing his arm before he had taken more than three steps, "I'll go, this was my idea ... besides I think she wants to say some things to me ... this might give her the chance," she looked towards the rest of Glee, "Wish me luck?" she joked before walking determinedly out of the door.

"What I wouldn't give to be a fly on that wall ..." Kurt said to the silent room.
