Wickedly Sweet

Rachel had the perfect plan. She and Finn were starring in their school's production of Wicked as well as Quinn. Rachel was Elphaba, Finn Fiyero, and Quinn was Galinda. Her plan would take place tonight at curtain call.

She arrived early to begin her makeup. She would have to become all green, and it took awhile despite her bodysuit. The show went off without a hitch, and it was now curtain call. Showtime.

Everyone took their bows, and Rachel spoke before they could close the curtain again. "Excuse me." Another roar of applause. "Thank you, but I need to say something. Firstly, would Jesse St. James please come to the stage? I know you are there. And I am sorry about your face." He came up to the stage, and Finn slowlt felt his heart sink. She had chosen him. But Quinn was in on it, and her grin kept getting bigger and bigger.

"So I have to make a choice, which I made earlier today, and I thought the best way to portray my choice was to sing. So… Artie! Music please!"

Finn and Jesse both wanted to know who she would choose, and the growing confusion and competition growing on their faces was so funny. Quinn was trying to suppress giggles at this point. But then Rachel started to sing and Quinn fell silent at the beauty not even she could deny.

"In the circles I've been running,
I've covered many miles,
And I could search forever for what's right before my eyes,"
Rachel looked over at Finn.
"Just when I thought I'd found it,
It was nothing like I'd planned,
When I got my heart around it, it slipped right through my hands,"
Rachel picked up Jesse's hands and let them slip right through.
"Here with you I feel it,
I close my eyes and see it,"
She turned to Finn, and with as much passion as she could muster, she sang, picked up his hands, and pulled him close.

"In a midnight talk, in a morning kiss,
When I'm in your arms, that's where it is,
When we're tangled up and can't resist,
When we feel that rush, that's where it is,
That's where it is"
When Finn realized it was him she chose, his heart sang. He couldn't help playing along with her. Rachel's eyes lit up at his realization. And, well, Quinn though she might just cry at the scene.

"When I'm crashing through the madness,
Not sure who I'm supposed to be,
When I'm caught up in the darkness,
It's your hand that's leading me,
You bring me back to solid ground,
You lift me up right here, right now"
When she sang this, Finn couldn't help but spin her around. Jesse wanted to be the one doing that. He was supposed to be the one doing that.

"In a midnight talk, in a morning kiss,
When I'm in your arms, that's where it is,
When we're tangled up and can't resist,
When we feel that rush, that's where it is"
The Glee club was crying. They were happy for the couple.

"It's a life time filled with tight embraces
The biggest things in the smallest places,

In a midnight talk, in a morning kiss,
When I'm in your arms, that's where it is,"
Finn pulled her into a hug.
"When we're tangled up and can't resist,
When we feel that rush, that's where it is

In the sweetest smile, on a night like this,
And a
tender touch, that's where it is,
When we're tangled up, and can't resist,
When we feel that rush, that's where it is,
That's where it is"
Quinn was crying, her cast and crewmates were crying, the entire Glee club was crying, Mr. Shue and Ms. Pillsbury were crying. Finn and Rachel, well she had one last thing to say to him. "How could it not be you?" And then he kissed her with more passion than appropriate consider where they were, and Rachel was happy to return the favor.
