Chapter Four! Hope you like it! :)

And glee is on tomorrow night! I am already crying just watching the previews, I can't believe Finn and Cory are really gone.

Okay, before I get too off track, here's the chapter!

Rachel entered the store where she had previously purchased her dress the next day to return it. She made sure the dress looked exactly like it did when she had bought it. Because she wore it for a while the dress had wrinkles all over it, and Rachel knew she would never be allowed to return it looking like that. She had spent nearly an hour last night steaming the dress to remove all the wrinkles. The steaming process had gone horribly wrong. First, it wouldn't turn on; leaving the technology challenged Rachel with no steamer and an extremely wrinkled dress. Second, she had to borrow the neighbor's steamer, which would have been fine if her neighbor wasn't the rudest woman alive. And to top the evening off, she had already been in a bad mood because of her audition. She had only been preparing for it her entire life. The worst part was, she didn't even know what she did wrong. In her mind, the song had gone wonderfully. The stupid critical man was the one with the problem.

When she was positive the dress had no wrinkles or creases she continued on to the register area. One register was currently open, being run by a younger girl. Only an older woman stood in line in front of Rachel, and she was just finishing up. The elderly woman placed her wallet back into her purse, grabbed her things, and left allowing Rachel to move forward in line.

"Hello, welcome, did you find everything all right?" the worker asked in a friendly voice. Rachel couldn't tell if the worker was being friendly because it was part of the job or because she was actually a friendly person. She hadn't exactly met any friendly people lately.

"Hello," Rachel smiled, placing the dress on the counter. "Actually, I bought this dress yesterday, and when I tried it on last night, it didn't fit me! Could I please return it? I have the receipt with right here with me."

"Yes, you may return it. Let me just see that receipt," the cashier said. She placed the receipt through a scanner and then checked to make sure the dress still contained the tags.

As the girl was making the return, Rachel's eyes traveled to the back section of the store where the dressing rooms were placed. It was where she had met Finn.

When Rachel was a little girl, her dad had always told her all about fate and destiny. He said that if things are meant to be they will happen on their own. He said that there was no need to force things to happen. Growing up, she kept that belief close to her heart. She believed that if she let fate chose her path, she wouldn't have to worry about making terrible decisions.

Rachel scanned her eyes around the store looking for a restroom to use before her trip back home. "Do you have a restroom?" Rachel asked once she had gathered all her belongings.

"Yes, they are right over there," the girl said, pointing behind Rachel. Rachel's eyes followed the girl's pointing direction and then located the restroom area behind she shoe section.

"Thank you very much," Rachel said, turning towards the restrooms.

"Have a nice day," the girl said.

Rachel entered the restrooms and pulled out her cell phone. She searched through her contacts for Santana's number that she had entered after auditions last night. When she found the desired number she pressed the call button and held the hone to her ear.

"Hello?" Santana's voice came through the phone sounding very scratchy.

"Hey, it's Rachel, from the auditions yesterday. Did I wake you?" Rachel asked, feeling very guilty. She checked the time. 11:00 AM, perhaps she could have waited a bit longer before making the call. Rachel woke up at 6 AM every morning, and sometimes forgot that other people enjoyed sleeping in.

"Hi Rachel. It's fine. I should probably get up soon anyways," Santana replied. "Did you need something?"

"Yes, I wanted to tell you that I was able to return the dress. I got it back into perfect condition last night."

"Awesome!" Santana said. "Just stick with me and I'll give you all sorts of new ways to 'borrow' things for free."

The two girls continued to chat away on the phone, laughing and quickly becoming friends. Rachel couldn't have been happier that she met Santana. She never had many friends growing up, and was happy whenever someone new came along.

Outside of the restrooms in the main building, Finn entered the dress shop with his rental suit. He sighed in relief when he realized that he was the only one there and could make the return as fast as possible without having to wait in a long line. He glanced over to the backside of the store to where he and Rachel had met the day before. He wished he could somehow tell her that it was meant to be and that he did see her again.

"Hello, do you need help finding anything?" the girl at the cash register asked Finn.

"Uh, no, I just stopped by to return this suit that I rented out yesterday," Finn said, walking over to the register. He placed the suit on the table and pulled out his wallet so he could find his receipt.

The girl took the suit and placed it on a hanger to be hung on the wall once more. "May I see the receipt?"

Finn finally found the receipt at the bottom of his wallet and placed it in the girl's hand. He watched as she scanned the receipt and checked to make sure everything was okay.

"Okay, you're all set. Is there anything else you need?"

"No, I'm f-" Finn's voice trailed off as his eyes spotted another dress hanging up behind the register area. He knew that dress. It was Rachel's dress. Finn pointed towards the dress, "Did someone return that dress today? A short brunette girl?"

"Yes, actually, she just did a second before you came in," the cashier informed him.

A second ago. That meant she was still nearby.

"Thank you!" Finn said before he ran off towards the door.

"Wait! She's just in the restroom!" the cashier called, but Finn was already out the door.

Rachel exited the bathroom then, trying to place her cell phone in her purse. "Thank you," she said to the cashier, as she was getting ready to leave.

"Oh, hey, some guy was just in here looking for you. He noticed your dress on the wall," the cashier told Rachel. "He left before I got the chance to tell him where you were."

Rachel was confused. Who would be looking for her in a dress shop? Finn.

Rachel ran outside and quickly looked around the crowded area. Finn was nowhere in sight. How hard could it be to find a 6'3" giant?

Finn angrily got into his car. He missed her again. He pulled out of his parking spot and sped out of the lot and headed to the suburbs on the outside of Downtown Lima. He turned the radio volume up high than usual, trying to block out the sound of his own thoughts. He navigated himself through the many streets until he reached his desired destination. It was a smaller house with brown shutters and a brown front door. He had been coming to this house constantly ever since he was little. It was the house of his best friend, after all.

He got out of his car and walked up onto the front porch of the house. He rang the doorbell and waited for someone to answer the door. The sound of footsteps inside the house got louder and louder as someone approached the front door. The door swung open to reveal his best friend of 11 years, Santana Lopez.

"Hey, long time no see," Santana greeted, holding open the door for Finn to step in. "I texted you last night, why didn't you reply?"

Finn walked into the living room and sat down on the couch. "I told you about the stupid engagement party I had to go to."

"Well, if you would have answered I could have told you all about my audition," Santana said, taking a seat next to him and then turning on the TV.

"Oh, that's right! Your West Side Story audition! How was it?"

"I don't want to get over confident, but I'm pretty sure I got the part!" Santana said. "There were three judges there. One had some stupid camera and insisted on filming the entire audition, a second one who just sat there are wrote notes the entire time, and a third one who seemed kind of rude at first but turned out to be really cool. It turns out that he knew my abuela because he and my mom were friends when they were growing up! So, when I told him they reason why I was auditioning he was really excited! After I sang my audition piece we talked for a little bit more, and it was so exciting! I think I have a really good chance at getting the part!"

"That's great Santana," Finn said with less enthusiasm than Santana was hoping for. Santana turned the TV off and sat back on the couch, crossing her arms.

"All right. What's wrong? You're killing my mood."

"I met this girl," Finn began.

"Oh, no, not another girl, Finn. We just got over the whole Quinn fiasco!"

"It's not like that Santana," Finn groaned. He didn't even want to think about what had happened with Quinn. Santana had already spent enough time going over all the reason she could think of about how Quinn was a terrible match for him, and that was while they were still dating. Santana had always hated Quinn, but Finn never listened to her. She wouldn't shut up about her being right after he and Quinn had broken up. Finn looked at Santana and continued speaking, "I met her when I was renting my suit for the party last night. She was really cool and when I asked her out she said she had other plans, and then she said that when we met up again we'd make other arrangements. I asked her how she knew that we would see each other again, and she said that if things were meant to be we would."

"Chick sounds crazy," Santana commented.

"She's not crazy, Santana," Finn said. "My problem is that I have seen her twice since then, and every time I go to try and talk to her she's not there anymore. I keep missing her and I don't know what to do."

"She said that if things were meant to be then you guys would run into each other again?" Santana asked.

"Yeah, she said that."

"Well, maybe if you keep seeing her but you're not able to actually get to her, you two aren't actually meant to be," Santana suggested. "It could be a sign or something telling you to back off."

"Santana, that can't be right. I know that's not true. Whenever I see her it feels different from any other girl. You don't understand, Santana, I need to see her again."

"Do you know anything else about her?" Santana asked. "What she does in her free time? Where she might work? Anything that could give you a hint to where she might be or how you could find her?"

"Not really. Well, I do know who her cousin is. Laurie, my mom's co-worker. Maybe she could help me out."

"There you go. Why don't you go and talk to her? Maybe she could give you the girl's address or something," Santana said.

"No, I can't just show up at her house. She wants us to meet again by chance. I can't just say it was a coincidence that I randomly showed up on her doorstep one day. I need a plan."

Ooooo, so Santana knows both Finn and Rachel! Crazy! :) What do you think will happen next?

Keep on reviewing! :) :)
