"Artie…." Rachel started. "That was a really nice kiss."

"Agreed," Artie said, blushing.

Finn walked over to them and look at each one of them for a long time. "What the hell was that?" He asked.

"We were kissing," Rachel explained with defiance in her eyes.

"You can't date Artie!" he yelled.

"Like I said before Finn, you can't tell me who to date! It stopped being your business when you broke up with me!"

"Maybe it was a mistake!" Finn yelled even louder.

Rachel was astonished.

She opened her mouth and started to say something when Quinn walked over, holding a tissue to her nose.

"Finn!" She said as she kissed him passionately.

He looked confused. "What happened to your nose?"

"Rachel punched her," Artie butted in.

"Why the hell would you do that?" Finn looked at Rachel.

"Because Quinn slapped me!"

"Quinn, why did you slap Rachel?" Finn looked even more confused.

"Because…. It's a custom in my religion to slap someone when you think that they are you're really good friend. Rachel just didn't know the custom and that's why I have a bloody nose," Quinn explained in an even more nasally voice than usual.

"Oh, ok," Finn said shrugging the whole thing off.

Rachel looked at Quinn. Hard. If looks could kill, Quinn would be dead. But Quinn delivered the favor.

"Let's go back to the gym," Finn said as he grabbed Quinn's waist. They walked down the hall together, arm in arm.

"Rachel," Artie turned to her, "I know that kiss was just an excuse to show Finn and Brittany that we had moved on, but we had serious chemistry."

"I know…. It's just so weird because we've never really acknowledged each other…." Rachel trailed off.

"So, are we an item?" Artie asked.

"I don't know, Artie. I need a little time to think everything over. There's Jesse who I still have deep feelings for and Finn. And then this new window opens. It's very stressful. Don't you feel like you need a little time to get over Brittany?"

"Yeah, I guess I do. But, can we talk about this later?"

"Sure. I just need a little time to myself. I hope you understand."

"I do understand. Completely."

"Good," Rachel said with a smile. "Now let's get back to that gym to support Kurt."
