Cause that was my attempt, I'm sorry I'm Canadian.

"Well look at you Finn! You look so..fancy!" Rachel gushed as the two sat across from each other at a coffee shop.

"You don't look the same either Rach, what happened to all the animal sweaters?"

"I probably have a few of them around somewhere." She smiled up at him, then took a sip of her coffee.

This was how their conversation went on. Hours passed as they rekindled old memories or laughed at some old inside jokes. This was easily the happiest Rachel had been in the past few years. She felt a bit like her old self again, the laughs stopped as soon as their conversation changed it's topic to current events.

"I actually wanted to go to the NFl, ya' know? But Quinn said it would be more 'stable' to just start up a business with the fame that I'd already gathered. So that's what I did." Finn explained. He hadn't talked to anyone about this but even after 8 years he felt like he could open up to Rachel. She listened and nodded understandingly. "So what about you? How's Broadway?"

Rachel's eyes grew big and she choked on her coffee, "We should go, it's late and the coffee shop should be closing soon and I'd rather not be a nuisance to the owners." She said that sentence all in one breath then quickly stood up and gathered her things. Finn watched her, confused. Broadway used to be her favorite topic, she would go on and on about it but recently as soon as he brought up the topic she'd shoot it down in an instance.

She was just about to leave when he called out to her "Rachel! Wait." She turned around to face him once again. "I was wondering if you'd like to come back to my hotel with me."

Her mouth fell open and she blinked a few times as if to make sure she had heard him correctly. Finn's face became red when he realized what connotations his badly worded sentence held.

"Shit, no I didn't mean it like that I just thought that ya' know Puck's there and you haven't seen him either so maybe you'd like to see Puck or watch like Animal Planet but we don't have to cause I know you're like vegan or vegetarian and I don't know if vegantarians have issues with animals eating animals but I don't-" Rachel's laugh cut off his rambling.

"I'd love to Finn," Rachel said still laughing. The entire ride to to hotel Rachel made fun of Finn and Finn stayed quiet with the exception of a few "Shuddup's". It was just like they were back in High School.

"Well lookie here, if it isn't Berry." Puck said as soon as Rachel walked into the room.

"Noah," She addressed him with a nod of her head. Finn smiled, even after all these years Rachel was the only one who called Puck by his first name.

"Damn Berry you look hot. Why didn't you dress like that back at McKinley? You know if you ever-"

Finn cleared his throat cutting Puck off, "Don't you have somewhere to be Puckerman?"

Puck looked up at Finn with a knowing look in his eyes. "Yeah I'm just heading out, have fun losers." Puck slammed the door behind him as he exited the room, probably to some bar somewhere.

Finn sat down on the edge of the bed and turned on the TV. Funny Girl was playing on one of the Broadway Classics channels. "Look Rach! Hey why don't you tell me about some of your musicals?"

Rachel quickly pressed the power button on the TV. "You're in New York, you should be having fun, come on let's go out!"

Finn didn't argue as she dragged him out of the room. Yet he still wondered why she refused to talk about her career.

"Come on let loose a little Finn!" Rachel said to him, then she exploded in a fit of giggles.

Finn chuckled, "Never thought I'd see the day when Rachel Berry told ME to let loose."

They were sitting in crowded bar. The music was blasting loudly and some drunk girl was screeching out words at the karaoke station. Finn was starting to get slightly fuzzy, but Rachel was already full on drunk.

"Finn." She looked at him completely serious. "Are you a zombie. If you are I need to know because I'd rather not be one myself."

Finn laughed, "Rach I think you've had a bit too much."

"Au contraire. I think you haven't had ENOUGH!" Rachel screamed at him with a huge grin plastered on her face. Then her face brightened. "We should have a shot contest Finn!"

"That's a horrible idea Rach."

"Pleaseeee Finn! For meee," her speech was already slurred. But no sane person could resist a Rachel Berry pout.

Finn had won easily, Rachel had always been a lightweight. Now the two leaned against each other as they walked the streets of New York. Neither of them had a single sense of right or wrong, they just stumbled along living in the moment. Then Rachel started singing. Even when she was drunk her voice was perfect.

Highway run
Into the midnight sun
Wheels go round and round
You're on my mind

Finn grinned down at her. He remembered this song from regionals, sophomore year. The year he had met Rachel Berry. The day he had told her that he loved her. Finn began the next verse.

Restless hearts
Sleep alone tonight
Sending all my love
Along the wire

They both giggled and screamed out the rest of the song, completely un-harmonized.

They say that the road
Ain't no place to start a family
Right down the line
It's been you and me
And lovin' a music man
Ain't always what it's supposed to be
Oh, girl, you stand by me
I'm forever yours
Faithfully

Circus life
Under the big top world
We all need the clowns
To make us smile
Through space and time
Always another show
Wondering where I am
Lost without you

And being apart
Ain't easy on this love affair
Two strangers learn to fall in love again
I get the joy of rediscovering you
Oh, girl, you stand by me
I'm forever yours
Faithfully

Whooa, oh-oh-ooh
Whooa, oh-oh-ooh, oh
Whooa, oh-oh-oh, oh-whoooooa-oh
Faithfully
I'm still yours

I'm forever yours
Ever yours
Faithfully

Rachel and Finn both laughed as they finished the song.

"Finn," Rachel mumbled "That was the day you told me you loved me. But that's a lie since you're marrying Quinnnn"

"It's not a lie Rach-" before he could finish Rachel squealed in excitement.

"I've never been in a church Finn. I think it's cause I'm a Jew but maybe the church just hates me. I'm sorry I hurt your feelings church." Rachel said sincerely.

Finn chuckled, "I think the church accepts your apologies Rach, let's go inside, maybe we'll find another Grilled Cheesus!"

They opened the door to the hotel room and Rachel stumbled over and passed out on his bed. He was too tired to walk over to Puck's bed or the couch so he just fell beside her.

He heard Puck yell "WHAT. THE. FUCK?!" Finn just shut his eyes and ignored his best friend. He had too much of a headache to deal with Puck right now. All he wanted to do was sleep, it was probably too early to be up anyways. Then he heard Rachel scream. Rachel? Why was Rachel here? He opened his eyes to see Rachel in his bed staring up at a balloon, it took a second for his vision to settle and he read the white words imprinted on the blue balloon.

JUST MARRIED!

"HOLY FUCK!"
