The next morning, Finn and Rachel get dressed. They had a long, fun night last night, but today Rachel HAD to get down to business if she was gonna beat Jen in this competition in glee to see who was the best singer. Clearly Rachel wanted it to be her, but here lately she wasn't so sure she was gonna win. You see, since Jen and Jess waltzed on into glee club, things have changed alot. Rachel has been getting less solos, and you know when that starts to happen Rachel throws a hissy fit like she's Mrs. Perfect in glee and every number they do, Rachel has to be the star, and she paid extra attention to be sure that happens. Jen and Jess must be good if they get all the solos, leaving Rachel swaying her hips in the background. She hated being background to the know-it-all twins. What do you think is gonna happen when Rachel finds out that one of them has a crush on her man? That's not gonna boil over well with Rachel. But enough about her big headed ego. Let's continue the story.
So we all are aware that Jen challenged Rachel to some friendly competiton. Each of them had to pick a song to sing to show everyone in glee club that they are the better singer, then everyone votes and whoever won got bragging rights all year and the rest of the solos for the year went to the winner. Rachel was doing "Don't Rain On My Parade" which was one of her favorite songs, but to warm up, she wanted to see if Finn could sing with her. "Finn, honey? Can you come here? I need your help with something," Rachel asked Finn, who, at the moment, was brushing his teeth. "I'll be there in a minute, sweetie," Finn calls back. Finn finishes brushing his teeeth and combing his hair then goes and meets Rachel in his room. "Did ya need me,babe?" Finn says as he sits next to Rachel on his bed. "Yea, I am kinda worried about getting upstaged by Jen in the competition tomorrow. Do you think you could help me practice a bit? When I sing with you I tend to loosen up more." "Yea, sure, whatever," Finn says. "Oh crap, she wants to sing. Like all day? Great there goes my plans," Finn says silently to himself. Unaware of what's going on Rachel snaps Finn back to reality. "Finn,Finn FINN," Rachel says as she snaps her fingers in front of Finn's face. "Woah, wait, what just happened," Finn says. "I was talking about the song I wanted to sing with you," Rachel says. You see, Finn always does this thing where he "pretends to listen" to Rachel especially when she blabs on and on about herself, or a song, but mainly about herself. If he was gonna keep Rachel happy he had to do whatever it takes. If stuff like this keeps happening, how do you think Finn and Rachel will survive as a couple? Who knows they may end up breaking up. But let's not let that happened...EVER. You have to remember that someone else in this story, not saying who...*cough cough* Jen...likes Finn but lets keep that under wraps for now we don't wanna let that be known til way later in the story if you get my drift.
"What song did you want to sing, babe?" Finn asked. "Well, for the competition,the song I am doing is Don't Rain On My Parade, but today I want to practice usimg the song "Just The Way You Are". It's one of your favorite songs, so you should know most, if not all, the words to the song," Rachel replied. "Yea...cool...i guess that would be ok," Finn says as hes getting ready to sing. "Oh, her eyes, her eyes make the stars look like they're not shinin'. Her hair, her hair, falls per..." "Stop, just stop!" Rachel gives Finn an impatient "I know you can sing better than that" look. "Oh shit! What did I do?" Finn looks nervous like Rachel was gonna punch him next time he messed up. "You didn't do anything," Rachel says. "I am just making you work harder. Being a star isn't easy." "But I don't wanna be a star," Finn says. "I wanna be the one who sits back and watches the one he loves as she steps on that stage and owns her performance like he knows she can. Why? Because even when shes at her worst, the supportive boyfriend knows that she tried her very best to be her very best. I love you Rachel. Now can we not work so hard and just relax today? You know your gonna beat her so why are you so worried about losing. You have me and win or lose no matter what you will always have me. Now get your coat and let's go. I have somewhere I wanna take you." Rachel smiles and hugs Finn. She knows that he's right, she is just too stubborn to admit it. They grab their coats and walk out the door. Rachel just hoped Finn was right. Guess we will have to wait and see, now won't we?
