I wasn't gonna give you this chapter until tomorrow, but I had a sudden idea, so here I am, writing. So, here is chapter 5! Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN GLEE!

October 30, 2018

It had been four weeks since Finn and Chloe had gotten engaged. Chloe and Rachel (who were close friends) had been planning ever since. Chloe wanted to get married on March 1, which was her parents' anniversary. So Rachel and Chloe were waist deep in wedding plans.

"No, I don't want petunias!" Rachel spit into the phone. "I said I wanted white and blue roses!"

Chloe sat at the kitchen table and watched as Rachel paced around the room.

"Well if they don't grow naturally, then make them!" Rachel shouted at the phone.

Chloe thought Rachel was more stressed about the wedding than her, and she was the one who was getting married!

"I don't care how you do it!" Rachel said. "I just need blue roses for this wedding!" she continued to argue with the florist.

Chloe sighed, stood up from the table, and took the phone out of Rachel's hand.

"Thanks for your time," she said into the phone and ended the call.

"Chloe!" Rachel said, shocked. "What did you just do?"

"Rachel," Chloe said, trying to sooth her friend. "You need to relax. The wedding isn't for five months. You have plenty of time to argue with the florist about the color of the flowers. We don't even need to have blue roses. We can just have white."

"But this wedding has to be perfect," Rachel whined. "You and Finn are two of my closest friends. I don't wanna let you down."

Chloe sighed. "Don't worry about it. Take a break from all this wedding stuff. Go out and have some fun."

Rachel couldn't believe what her friend had just said.

"Do you mean on a date?" she asked, surprised.

"Yeah!" Chloe said, excitedly. "I have this friend, met him in college. I think you'll like him."

Rachel hesitated, but then decided it was worth a shot, and nodded her head. Rachel hadn't really dated, only one person, in her sophomore year of high school. Jesse St. James. He had broken her heart and she hadn't had a boyfriend since then.

Chloe clapped her hands. "Great! Now, we need to get you ready and I need to call him."

Chloe grabbed her phone and walked out of the room. She came back in, moments later, and said, "He agreed!"

What's his name anyways?" Rachel asked.

"Ryan Mitchell," Chloe told her.

"Ooh," Rachel said. "That's a cute guy name."

"Oh, he is cute," Chloe told her. "If I wasn't with Finn, I would totally be with him."

Rachel stared at her in shock and Chloe laughed.

"Kidding! Totally kidding. I swear. You know I love Finn."

Rachel nodded and again, she felt that unfamiliar feeling in the pit of her stomach. She'd been feeling it ever since Finn told her about his engagement. She convinced herself it was happiness for Chloe and Finn and moved on.

"Now," Chloe said, grabbing Rachel's hand and dragging her to Rachel's bedroom. "It's time to get you ready for the date. You want to make a good impression, don't you?"

Rachel groaned but went with her friend to her room, preparing herself for the next three hours that will be spent on her getting a make over.

Chloe brought Rachel out to the living room, where Finn was. Finn looked up at her.

"You look nice, Rach," he told her.

"You think?" she asked, feeling self conscious about the short dress.

Rachel was wearing a strapless purple dress that came up to above her knees. She was also wearing gold high heeled sandals and a necklace.

"Yeah, you look hot," Finn said and Chloe smacked him.

He looked up at Chloe. "You look hot too, babe. I love you."

Chloe rolled her eyes and turned back to Rachel.

"Alright, are you ready?" she asked.

"I-I don't know. I mean, I haven't been out on a date since Jesse and that was like nine years ago. I don't know what to do or what to say or what if he tries to kiss me? I don't know what I'd do if that happened. Or what if he—"

"Rachel!" Chloe cut her off. "Calm down. Relax. Ryan's a nice guy and I'm pretty sure you're gonna like him."

Rachel took a deep breath and calmed down. There was a knock at the door and Rachel started hyperventilating.

"Rachel," Finn said, standing up and walking over to her. "It'll be fine. I know Ryan and I'm sure you'll like him and he'll like you. I mean, it's kinda hard to not like you."

Rachel giggled slightly and nodded. Chloe opened the door and there stood a man. He was tall, Rachel noticed, but not as tall as Finn. He had light brown hair that reminded her of Justin Bieber and his light green eyes were warm. There was a splash of freckles across his nose and cheeks and his smile was dazzling.

Chloe was right, he was cute.

"Hi Ryan," Chloe said, smiling. "It's so nice to see you."

"You too, Chloe," he said. Looking past Chloe, he said to Finn "Hey, Finn."

"Ryan, my man," Finn said, walking over and fist bumping him before going to his room.

"This is Rachel," Chloe said, moving aside so Ryan could see her.

Ryan's smile grew wider as he saw Rachel. "Hi."

"Hi," Rachel said, walking towards him. "I'm Rachel Berry. Singing extraordinaire."

He laughed. "Ryan Mitchell. Instrument extraordinaire."

"Oh, so you like music too?" Rachel asked.

"Yeah, I actually own a music shop. Briz. You ever heard of it?"

"Oh my God, I used to have singing lessons there!"

Ryan laughed. "What a small world."

"Yeah," Rachel agreed.

Behind her, Rachel could hear Chloe mutter "Told you you'd like him."

Rachel elbowed her friend before saying "Shall we go?"

Ryan offered his arm to her and she took it. "We shall."

The two walked to Ryan's car and talked the whole way to the restaurant.

"This was nice, Ryan," Rachel said as he walked her up to her front door.

"Yeah," he agreed. They stood on the porch, staring into each other's eyes.

"I know this isn't something you would usually say on a first date, but I really like you, Rachel," Ryan said.

"I like you too, Ryan," she told him.

He leaned in and Rachel knew what he was going to do. She knew she should have said no, considering this was the first date. But instead, she let him kiss her. There lips only met for a second, but it was beautiful. When they pulled away, they both smiled.

"I'll call you," Ryan told her, winking and walking to his car.

Rachel smiled and watched as he drove away. She stood on the porch for a couple of minutes before turning and walking into the house.

Finn was sitting on the couch, watching a baseball game, and he turned towards Rachel when he heard the door.

"Where's Chloe?" Rachel asked him.

"She left about an hour ago," he told her. "How was it?"

Rachel's smile grew as she replied. "Magical."

Finn laughed. "Was it really that good?"

"Yeah," Rachel said, sitting down on the couch and taking her shoes off. "He's amazing. Really."

Finn laughed again.

Rachel picked up her shoes and stood up.

"Well, I'm tired. I'm going to bed," Rachel told him.

"Good night, Rach," he said.

"Good night, Finn," she replied.

Rachel quickly changed into her pajamas and lied down in the bed, smiling.

This is really going to go somewhere she thought, thinking about the night she just had.

I know, I know, Finn and Rachel belong together. I agree. It was hard for me to write about Chloe and Finn and Rachel and Ryan. But thanks for reading this chapter!

Oh, and I go back to school tomorrow after being on winter break so my updates will be less frequent. I'll try to update as much as possible though!

Someone asked if this would turn out like My Best Friend's Wedding, and it won't be. I've never seen that movie and have no desire to see it. I had no idea that my plot line was so close to that movie, and I apologize if any of you feel like I am 'copying' that movie.

And I don't own the music shop, Briz. You probably haven't heard of it but it's a really cool music store in Portland, Oregon.

Reviews are love(:
