2x20: That 80's Show
Episode Synopsis: With Nationals coming closer, Finn uses Rachel's idea and decides to do 80's Week to get the team to relax. Although Finn is dealing with the aftermath of Puck and Santana's party, he questions whether he should forgive Santana, Kurt, Puck and Blaine again. Santana asks Rachel for help after revealing she drunkenly slept with Puck at the party. Brittany feels lonely in New York City, leaving Finn to do something about it.
A week later, Rachel sat in the loft as she stared through her laptop for some music to play. She had a long day at work, in which Rachel figured she deserved a nice, long relaxing session with some music as she waited for her husband to come home. Rachel turned on the radio and a moment later the vocals of Bryan Adams were filling the loft, with Rachel thinking Finn's vocals would go well with Adams' songs. As Rachel bobbed her head to the music, Finn entered the loft wearing a suit and appeared drained. Rachel turned towards her husband, lowering the music and giving him a smile.
"Hi babe." Rachel greeted him as Finn walked towards the sofa. Finn sat down and gave Rachel a hug, something he needed after a long day in court. "How was it?"
"I got two years' probation." Finn answered while gritting his teeth. "That's what happens when you throw a party that you don't know about and serve alcohol to minors." Rachel knew Finn was still furious with Puck, Santana, Kurt and Blaine from the party fiasco. He had barely spoken to them and Burt made sure that Kurt had an earful when he called him. "Now no one is going to hire me when I graduate from college."
"Finn…" Rachel ran a hand through his hair, seeing that he didn't feel like talking anymore. "I know things look bad now, but have you considered talking to Puck, Santana, Kurt and Blaine?"
"No. I'm not talking to them." Finn shook his head. "I'm afraid if I say something to them, I'll say something I'll regret—that and I'd probably punch Puck in the face. How was my life so messed up? I was so certain that I had my future all planned out…now it's gone."
"Finn, it's not gone." Rachel assured him. "You know you didn't have to take the blame for them…they're grown up enough to know better. I know you did it to protect them but…was it really worth it since your future now has question marks?"
"I don't know…" Finn shrugged his shoulders, looking away from Rachel. "I didn't want to see them get shipped off to jail…Kurt wouldn't be able to survive it…and now I know he wouldn't have been able to survive it, seeing I was there."
"Look…" Rachel put her hands on Finn's cheeks, causing him to stare at her. "I know you were trying to protect them but you had nothing to do with what happened last week. I'm sorry you went through hell but…you shouldn't have taken the fall for them. Now look at you."
"So if I was in trouble, would you take the fall for me?" Finn honestly asked.
"It depends." Rachel answered. "If it's like murder…then you'd have to own up to your mistakes, but…this is probably up there. Someone could have died at that party…and it's not fair that you're being punished for something Puck did."
"I get what you're saying, Rachel…I do," Finn got up from the sofa and undid his tie. "I just thought that I could have helped them…you know? I know I had nothing to do with the party, but it would break my heart to see Kurt being dragged away by the police."
"And you think it didn't break my heart when you were cuffed and thrown into the back of a damn cop car for no reason?" Rachel got up from her seat to stare at Finn. "Finn, I'm sorry I sound selfish but it's not just you that you have to think about anymore. You have to think about us. We're married. There's no more me for either of us. Now it's we. And we need to talk about this..." Rachel and Finn continued to stare at one another but all Finn did was fling is tie onto the couch and walked towards his room.
"I need to take a nap or something…" Finn muttered.
"So that's it?!" Rachel screamed, causing Finn to turn around. "That's all you're going to do?! You're going to walk away and end the argument because you know I'm right?"
"No, I'm ending the argument because I'm tired Rachel." Finn simply said. "I'm done talking. I'm going to take a nap. I'll see you like in two hours or something."
"You don't understand Finn!" Rachel screamed, causing Finn to roll his eyes at Rachel's dramatics.
"What don't I understand, Rachel?!" Finn retorted. "Hmm?! What don't I understand! I did what I had to do for my friends."
"Well what about doing what you have to do for me?!" Rachel felt her voice break. "You're not married to Puck or Santana or Kurt! You're married to me, and I can't be without you! I lost you too many times before and I don't want to lose you AGAIN!" Finn was tired of arguing with Rachel, so he turned on his heels towards their bedroom As Finn closed the room door, Rachel curled her fist into a ball. Without thinking, Rachel turned around and swung at the wall, knocking over one of her lamps that fell and shattered into a million pieces. Rachel felt the tears come to her eyes as she kneeled to the floor and started sobbing. Rachel didn't know Finn was listening to her small temper tantrum and he wanted more than anything to go back into the room and comfort her. Finn knew that Rachel was right—he should have let Puck, Santana, Kurt and Blaine take the fall for the party…and it wasn't just about him anymore. It was about him and Rachel—and he remembered seeing the look on Rachel's face when he was arrested for a crime he didn't commit. She was scared, she was afraid she was going to lose her husband and he didn't want her to feel a sense of insecurity again. Finn shuffled back to the living room, seeing that Rachel was still on the floor and made his way over to her. He leaned down next to her and saw she was crying, refusing to stop her tears. Finn wrapped his arms around her as Rachel cried into his chest, Finn pressing kisses on her forehead.
"I'm so sorry, baby…" Finn whispered. "I'm sorry…" Finn and Rachel didn't know that Kurt was listening to their small argument, feeling guilty about the mess they caused. He had to make it up to them somehow…someway. Kurt turned around and entered his room, closing the door behind them.
"You should have seen it." Kurt said the next afternoon as he locked up the diner, turning around to face Santana, Blaine and Puck. "Finn and Rachel haven't argued lately and the fact they had an argument about us yesterday kind of made everything fall into perspective. Look, Finn's in legal trouble and Rachel's worried she's going to lose her husband. Finn shouldn't even be in trouble. This was our fault yet Finn took the blame because he was protecting us…"
"Yet Finn hasn't said a word to us since he reprimanded us last week." Santana didn't really seem to care.
"Santana…" Kurt crossed his arms, noticing that Blaine was staring back at Kurt. "Finn's on ice with administration for NYADA since they think he was the one who did it, he's facing serious charges and he could be in jail all because we were dumb enough to throw a party and not be responsible of our actions."
"Look, I want to help Finn get out of legal trouble, but if I get caught again, I'm going away for a while." Puck said.
"Well, we can't just sit here and pretend we didn't do anything because we did." Kurt sat down at the table. "Finn is still mad at us, so we need to think of things to do in order to get him to forgive us."
"I can think of one." Puck shifted his eyes towards Kurt and Santana while Blaine raised an eyebrow. "We confess and tell the police we were the ones that really did it."
"Oh, sure." Santana simply looked down at her nails. "And while we're at it, let's confess to all the murders, robberies and assaults in the city."
"Santana, seriously…Finn's life is on the line here." Puck said. "He came to New York to be a teacher, not to be a criminal."
"Look, do you know what they'll do to girls like me in jail?" Santana wondered. "And do you know what they'll do to guys like you? It won't be pretty."
"Santana, I can't have Finn getting in trouble." Puck argued. "Look, he's right...he can't be our quarterback, getting us out of trouble forever. It's time we manned up and we did what we should have done in the first place."
"So you're willing to risk everything for Finn?" Blaine wondered. Puck didn't hesitate as he nodded his head.
"Finn risks it all for us...I'm going to do the same for him." Puck promised. "He's my friend...and I need to be a better one to him. Look, it's agreed…we're going to tell the truth, right?" Puck said. Blaine seemed uncertain while Santana rolled her eyes. Puck knew they had to do the right thing…it was the only thing that was really going to have Finn in their good graces again.
Finn entered the NYADA auditorium that afternoon after receiving a text message from Rachel. He was unsure what Rachel wanted since she didn't speak to him much after their argument yesterday. He was worried that there was going to be more arguing—but Finn had to admit he was intrigued when he saw Rachel wearing an 80's outfit, standing on the stage with two microphones. Finn walked over to the stage, leaning on it slightly while raising an eyebrow.
"Rachel? What's this?" Finn asked, motioning to her outfit.
"Do you love it?" Rachel questioned, twirling around with a small grin. "I had the costume department do this for me."
"You look like you went time traveling to the 80's." Finn let out a smirk, still staring at his wife with interest.
"I have a reason for this." Rachel sat down on the stage, motioning for Finn to come closer to her. "I know that our small tiny argument happened because we're both still a little tense. I mean, you have every right to be tense, but I don't want to argue with you Finn. I love you too much…"
"Rachel, couples fight, you know that right?" Finn put a hand on her cheek. "Besides, it wasn't a full blown argument."
"I broke a lamp." Rachel pointed out, causing Finn to chuckle.
"I know…" Finn leaned closer and pressed a kiss to her forehead. "I love you Rachel and I'm sorry again about our fight. You were right…there's no more me. It's now we…and weneed to make decisions together."
"And I also know that you only protected Puck, Santana, Blaine and Kurt because you love them and you didn't want to see them go through what you went through…that's why you thought you were tough enough to take a trip to the police station." Rachel nodded her head. "Finn, I don't want to argue about stuff like this with you…you're already going through a lot…look, let's just admit that we both made valid points and kiss and make up?" Finn smiled, leaning in to kiss Rachel as Rachel pressed her lips to Finn's. They stayed that way for a moment before Rachel parted her lips from his.
"I love you Rachel…" Finn put a hand on her cheek, stroking her cheek with his thumb. "So…are you going to explain the entire 80's look?"
"All right, I'll get to that." Rachel agreed. "So, I was thinking of ways that could make you feel better…and I thought maybe an 80's duet would make you relax and have fun for a moment. So, I was kind of wondering if you were willing to do a duet with me."
"Rachel…I love singing with you…" Finn got on the stage and grabbed a microphone. "So what song are we singing?" Rachel got up from her position and showed Finn the song that was on the piano. "Oh, this song is beautiful."
"Yep…" Rachel nodded her head. "Finn, I had one smaller request."
"Anything." Finn quickly said.
"Since we're doing a duet from the 80's, which arguably has the best music of its time, I think we should play the part." Rachel suggested, pointing over to the clothing that was on the stool. Finn chuckled, grabbing the clothing and staring at her.
"Do I have to wear the fake earring again?" Finn asked, holding it up as Rachel made her way over to him.
"I think you look sexy with the earring." Rachel bit her lower lip, still gazing at her husband. "So, are you going to put it on?"
"Well…if you think I look sexy." Finn put the fake earring in as Rachel grinned. Finn placed on the neon pink 80's jacket over his grey t-shirt and grabbed her hand. "I think we're ready to sing our duet now…" Rachel smiled as the NYADA band started playing with Rachel and Finn singing into each other's eyes.
{Rachel looks at Finn and she grabs his hand, not faltering her look from him}
[Rachel]
I hear the ticking of the clock
I'm lying here the room's pitch dark
I wonder where you are tonight
No answer on the telephone
And the night goes by so very slow
Oh I hope that it won't end all alone…
Till now, I always got by on my own
[Rachel and Finn]
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
[Finn]
You don't know how long I have wanted
To touch your lips and hold you tight
[Finn and Rachel]
You don't know how long I have waited
And I was going to tell you tonight
[Rachel]
But the secret is still my own
[Finn]
Oh, oh, oh
And my love for you is still unknown
[Finn and Rachel]
Alone
[Rachel]
Ahh….
[Finn]
Ahh….
[Rachel]
Till now I always got by on my own
[Rachel and Finn]
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
{Rachel pulls Finn closer towards her and they stare into each other's eyes. Rachel puts her forehead on Finn's as they intertwine their fingers with each other.}
[Rachel] (Finn)
How do I get you alone
(How do I get you alone)
How do I get you alone
(How do I get you…)
[Rachel and Finn]
Alone
Alone
{Finn leans in and kisses Rachel as the song comes to a close}
Finn kept his lips connected to Rachel's, a smile slowly appearing on his face. As he slowly parted his lips from hers, he kept hold of her hand feeling a million times better than he did before. Rachel grinned seeing the smile on Finn's face was true and not just a façade.
"Thank you…" Finn softly said, gripping her hand tightly. "Singing with you makes me feel a million times better."
"I'm glad." Rachel smiled. "You have no idea how sexy you look right now…you look like you came out of the time machine reserved for sexy people."
"Oh really?" Finn raised an eyebrow, clearly amused with Rachel. "Well, that's good to know." Finn leaned closer and pressed a kiss on her forehead. As he placed a kiss to Rachel's forehead, a spark went through his mind. He knew what he was going to do this week for Glee Club. There were only two weeks until Nationals and even Finn knew it was nice to take a break once in a while. "You know Rachel; you just gave me a great idea."
"I did?" Rachel sounded curious.
"Yeah." Finn nodded his head. "You see, we've been working so hard towards Nationals and all that, I think the Glee Club deserves a small break, like maybe…80's week. How about you?"
"I think that's a good idea." Rachel agreed. Finn grabbed her hand, pulling her towards the auditorium steps and out the door. Rachel and Finn walked along the hallways dressed in their 80's gear and Rachel had to admit they were getting interested and quizzical looks by some of the student body. "This is so exciting. I feel like I'm reliving the 80's through Madonna and you're reliving the 80's through the eyes of the sexiest man alive…Bryan Adams."
"I thought I was the sexiest man alive in your eyes." Finn teased.
"Of course you are." Rachel gave his hand a squeeze as the two of them entered the choir room. Everyone stopped rehearsing their somewhat dance steps when they saw what Finn and Rachel were wearing.
"Um, Finn…Rachel?" Vicky tried to hide her laughter as they stared at her. "This is the year 2014…not 1984."
"What are you wearing?" Melissa wondered, raising an eyebrow towards them.
"Oh this?" Finn spun around in a small circle before pointing his index finger at Melissa. "This is our Glee assignment for the week."
"Finn, we don't have time for that." Celina sighed.
"Yeah, Nationals are in two weeks and if we have any chance to beat The Amasings then we need to step up our game." Vicky reminded him. "I mean sure Sectionals went great and Regionals was done on a whim but this is the big stage meaning there is no margin for error. We can't fake it like we did during Regionals, it won't fly there."
"I understand that, I do." Finn sighed. "But, come on we get a chance to do what other Glee Clubs don't get a chance to do…have a little bit of fun. And what can be more fun than taking a time warp through the 80's?"
"Finn does have a point." Brody admitted as Simone stared at him. "I mean, some of the best music of our generation came from the 80's, so it would only be fair if we gave Finn's idea a chance."
"I agree." Simone said. "This could be fun…and we would show versatility, something The Amasings can't do."
"Then it's settled." Finn stared at his team. "80's week?" It took a few minutes of contemplating before the members of Finn Harmonic agreed 80's week would be fun.
"I just have a question." Melissa raised her hand slightly. "Do we have to wear what you're wearing?"
"Yep. It helps getting into character." Finn said. "And while we do this then I'll find someone to help teach that dance move you're all having trouble with."
"Admit it Finn, we suck at dancing." Santana groaned. Finn pursed his lips towards her and faced Melissa, Celina and Vicky.
"The dancing is not that bad." Santana was slightly hurt Finn was ignoring her, but then again he had every right to do so. "Look, I'll find someone." As soon as Finn spoke, there was a knock at the door and that was when Finn turned and saw Brittany at the doorway simply eating a bag of baby carrots, gazing into the room.
"Hi Finn." Brittany waved at him. Finn smiled at her and made his way towards her.
"Hey Britt." Finn greeted before turning slightly worried. "Is everything okay? Something didn't happen did it? The loft isn't on fire, is it?"
"Yeah everything's fine, I was alone at the loft so I decided to come here. I hope it's okay." Brittany said, noticing Finn slightly relaxed.
"Of course, Brittany." Finn nodded his head towards her. "Did you want to sit in our lesson? We're doing 80's week."
"80's week?" Brittany immediately grinned as she nodded her head. "Sure, if you don't mind. Lord Tubbington is going to love hearing about this on Skype later." Brittany went to take a seat next to Melissa and waved towards her new friend. Finn silently chuckled and made his way over towards the band that was in the room.
"All right, so…I thought maybe I would kick off 80's week in here if you don't mind." Finn said. The Glee Club minus Santana, Kurt and Puck cheered. It wasn't like any of them had a say at this point—Finn was still beyond pissed with them. "All right, this is one of my favorite 80's songs…and I kind of heard it when I was with my other girlfriend and started hanging out with Rachel. I had no idea a song could really define your life…anyway, get ready for me to blow your minds. Hit it!"
{The music starts playing and everyone starts clapping as Finn stares over at Rachel. Rachel grins at him as Finn continues to sing, but Kurt looks slightly guilty. Santana puts a hand on her stomach and she begins to feel nauseous}
[Finn]
She says her love for me could never die
But that'll change if she ever found out about you and I
Oh, but her love is cold
It wouldn't hurt her if she didn't know
When it gets too much
I need to feel your touch
I'm gonna run to you
I'm gonna run to you
Cause when the feeling's right, I'm gonna run all night
I'm gonna run to you
She's got a heart of gold, she'd never let me down
But you're the one that always turns me on
You leave me coming round
I know her love is true
But it's so damn easy making love to you
I got my mind made up
I need to feel your touch
I'm gonna run to you
I'm gonna run to you
Cause when the feelings right I'm gonna stay all night
I'm gonna run to you
I'm gonna run to you
Cause when the feelings right I'm gonna run all night
I'm gonna run to you
When the feelings right now
Oh
I'm gonna run to you
I'm gonna run to you
Cause when the feelings right I'm gonna stay all night
I'm gonna run to you
I'm gonna run to you
When the feelings right I'm gonna stay all night
When the feelings right now
When the feelings right now
I'm gonna run to you
I'm gonna run to you
I'm gonna run to you, run to you
I'm gonna run to you
Cause when the feelings right I'm gonna stay all night
I'm gonna run to you
As soon as Finn finished performing, the Glee Club stood on their feet and applauded him, but Finn's happiness was short lived when he saw Santana's face turning pale. His smile diminished and he looked a bit concerned. Brittany followed Finn's gaze and Santana got up from her seat to run out of the choir room. Finn had the urge to run after Santana, but instead he turned to face Rachel, knowing he couldn't just leave the rest of the students unattended.
"Rach, do you want to go and see if Santana's okay?" Finn wondered. Rachel got up from her seat and made her way to the bathroom, opening the door as she heard Santana throwing up in one of the stalls. Rachel walked over to the stall, knocking on the door slightly and folding her hands together.
"Santana?" Rachel called out. "Santana, it's Rachel…is everything okay in there?" Santana came out of the stall a moment later, wiping her mouth with a tissue. "Santana?"
"That performance of Finn's was nauseating." Santana tried to play it off, but Rachel knew better than to believe her. "I had to get out of there." She walked over to the sink and started splashing water on her face, avoiding Rachel's gaze. Rachel pursed her lips, wondering if she should say something else. Santana suddenly felt as if she was about to start crying, something Rachel noticed.
"Santana, please say something?" Rachel wondered as she saw Santana turn towards her, looking vulnerable as she crossed her arms.
"Rachel…at the party…something happened." Santana admitted. "Something that could possibly change everything..."
"What? Other than the furniture breaking, the alcohol and Finn getting arrested?" Rachel counted off.
"Well, that but something else…something that could affect me…" Santana's bottom lip quivered, as she looked scared. "Rachel, I need your help…" Rachel's face turned sympathetic as she made her way over to her friend.
"Santana, please tell me what happened." Rachel softly wondered. "Something must have gone wrong if you're scared like this."
"Yeah, damn right I'm scared." Santana turned to Rachel. "Because I had sex with Puck."
"Wait, you what?" Rachel became puzzled. "I thought you don't play for that team…"
"I don't…I was severely drunk and the next thing I knew I was in bed with the guy and I had a hangover." Santana sighed. "Rachel…I'm just afraid I'm pregnant…and I don't want to be. It's bad enough that Finn's mad at me but now I could be with child? I don't want that. I had bigger things planned in life. I'm not sure what's planned for me yet but...I didn't want things to end up like this...Rachel, I'm scared."
"Look, I'll go with you to the doctor if it makes you feel any better." Rachel put a hand on Santana's shoulder, soothing her gently. "You're my friend and you're in need. That means that I'm going to be there for you no matter what…okay?" Santana slowly nodded her head, wiping some of the tears that fell from her eyes.
"All right." Santana sighed. "I'm just surprised you're not mad at me for getting your husband locked up."
"What happened about the party is between you, Puck, Kurt, Blaine and Finn." Rachel said. "Regardless of the mistakes you made, you're still my friend and you seem extremely sorry about it. The least I can do is escort you to the doctor and make sure everything's okay." Santana hugged Rachel tightly, not letting her go as the two of them stood in the bathroom for what felt like an eternity.
"Thank you…" Santana softly murmured. A smile formed on Rachel's lips as she patted Santana's back soothingly.
"You're welcome."
An hour later, Brittany found herself walking around the NYADA dance studio in awe. Of course, Julliard had amazing dance studios for a dance major as Brittany, but nonetheless, she was impressed with NYADA's. Finn's Glee Club had been dismissed for the day and she somehow found herself here as she promised she was going to wait for Finn outside. Brittany put a hand on one of the bars, noticing her reflection in it, when someone entered the room behind her. Brittany turned around, spotting Finn holding a duffle bag close to him, staring at her with a small smile.
"You wanted to see the dance studio, huh?" Finn questioned.
"It's huge." Brittany marveled at it. "It's not as big as Julliard's but it's big." Finn put down his duffle bag, leaning against the railing as he stared at himself in the mirror. Brittany had been meaning to ask Finn a question, causing her to turn around and let out a deep breath. "Finn?"
"Yes Brittany?" Finn turned around; noticing Brittany was walking towards him.
"You're not mad at me about the party…why?" Brittany wondered. It had been on her mind ever since Finn had busted Santana, Puck, Blaine and Kurt.
"I'm not mad at you because you acted responsibly once the party got out of hand." Finn admitted. "Sure, I ended up in jail but what happened was not your fault. What you did was one of the smartest things you've ever done." Brittany smiled softly as she looked down at her feet.
"I don't know, I feel like I kind of messed up." Brittany shrugged. "I mean I saved your house but…Santana's sending mixed signals everywhere and it's kind of confusing."
"I know it's confusing, I know." Finn walked closer to her, putting a hand on her shoulder. "But you should not feel guilty about what happened. Santana was the one that was wrong, not you. Okay?" Brittany felt better as she hugged Finn tightly, Finn reciprocating the hug. After a few moments, Brittany and Finn parted from their hug and Brittany stared at him.
"Thank you, Finn." Brittany smiled.
"You're welcome, Brittany." Finn patted her shoulder, deciding that they should change the conversation. "So what do you think of New York so far?"
"It's a big city, pretty noisy… my mom calls and says Lord Tubbington's gambling addiction has gotten worse and he started practicing Scientology since I've gotten here. I don't know what to do about it." Brittany sighed causing Finn to chuckle. Brittany's face turned serious as she looked down at the ground. "I feel pretty alone in the city and I know that I shouldn't feel that way. It's just that everyone's busy either at work or they're here, so I'm usually in the loft eating cookies and watching reality television." Finn had no idea that Brittany had been feeling lonely in the city, causing him to nod his head slowly.
"I know exactly how you feel, Brittany." Finn said. "When I first came to the city I was a little lonely too. But once I started doing things with the right kind of people, I didn't feel so alone anymore. I don't want you to feel alone or feel neglected by Santana anymore…if you want, you can join my Glee Club. I know we're two weeks away from Nationals but it should be really easy to teach you the songs—and we still need someone to teach us how to dance. I was wondering if you wanted to do it since you are the best dancer I know?" Brittany nodded her head at Finn, a smile appearing on her face.
"Of course…" Brittany said. Finn snapped his fingers as he went towards the duffle bag, giving Brittany a grin.
"I also have a little something for you that might make your stay in New York a little less lonely…" Finn opened the duffle bag slightly—and out popped the head of Lord Tubbington, causing Brittany to look surprised.
"Lord Tubbington!" Brittany walked over to her cat and picked him up from Finn's arms. "How did he get here?"
"Your mom drove here when you were at work the other day and she thought you'd want him…" Finn said. "I hope it's okay that he was in my duffle bag. He seemed to do fine there and he had some cat treats. He wasn't going to take it anymore…he didn't want to spend another day without you…and I may not understand it yet, but I know that you love him just as much as he loves you. Now, he can live in the loft but he can't be in my room, okay? Oh, and no gambling websites since he has a gambling addiction." Brittany chuckled, nodding her head to Finn.
"This is really the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me. Thank you." Brittany felt like she was on the verge of tears as Finn wrapped Brittany into another hug.
"You're very welcome, Brittany." Finn grinned. "Hey, I was wondering if there was something you wanted to sing in Glee Club tomorrow, anything in particular."
"I did have a song in mind." Brittany admitted. "But I was wondering if you wouldn't mind joining me for the song tomorrow. It would make it a lot less nerve wracking." Finn nodded his head to her as Brittany smiled at him, the both of them knowing what song they were going to sing tomorrow at Glee Club.
{Scene changes to the next afternoon and Brittany is wearing a black leather outfit while Finn is dressed in his 80's outfit behind the drums. The members of Finn Harmonic look excited for Brittany's number and Santana continues to stare over at Brittany who starts dancing around}

We're not gonna take it (Finn: Come on!)
No, we ain't gonna take it (Brittany: You're all worthless and weak!)
We're not gonna take it anymore (Brittany; Now drop and give me twenty!)
We're not gonna take it (Finn: A pledge pin!)
No, we ain't gonna take it gonna take it (Brittany: On your uniform!)
We're not gonna take it anymore!
Everyone cheered with joy as Brittany continued to stare at them with a smile and Finn put his drumsticks in his back pocket as he got up from the drum set. Brittany bowed once more and almost everyone in the club stood up in their chairs to applaud her.
"Brittany, I didn't know you could dance like that!" Melissa exclaimed. "That was incredible!"
"Okay, you have to help us with our choreography for Nationals, please?" Vicky sounded just as excited.
"Yeah Brittany, you have something the rest of us don't really have…rhythm." Celina said before looking over at Finn. "No offense Finn, but your dancing will kill somebody." Rachel stifled a giggle while Finn simply nodded his head.
"I almost broke Rachel's nose once." Finn put a hand on Brittany's shoulder and motioned to the rest of the Glee Club. "Brittany is now a part of our Glee Club and she said she really wants to work on some choreography with you guys, that is…if it's okay."
"Are you kidding?" Simone raised an eyebrow while smiling at Brittany. "We love her. We want her on this team. There's no way we can lose Nationals with Brittany on our side." Brittany beamed as she went to go take a seat, but while the rest of the team was celebrating, Puck simply stared at Finn, knowing that he was still ignoring him. That was when Puck knew what he had to do…
That night at the loft, Finn sat in front of the television playing MLB The Show on his PlayStation—he was playing against Marley, who also owned the game…and she was severely kicking his butt.
"Oh come on, you know that's not fair." Finn let out a groan of defeat when a home run went over the wall in the digitized Yankee Stadium. Finn turned towards the door, noticing that Puck had entered the house with a piece of paper in his hand, walking over to Finn and handing it to him. Finn put the game on pause for a moment, still a little weary about taking the paper—or talking to Puck.
"I went down to the police station today." Puck admitted, sitting down next to Finn. "I confessed to what happened at the party that it was all my fault and you had no knowledge of it…I explained you were just trying to protect me from going to jail because you were my friend and you felt like I had a future." Finn continued to gaze at Puck, his expression softening. "They dropped the charges on you and guess who has to take your place with two years of probation. But it was worth it though…look, I realized that I never thanked you for trying to protect me but if there was one thing I realized...it's that I need to start taking more responsibility for my actions. This was a wake-up call...I need to grow up and...I need to thank you for teaching me that lesson, even if it was the hard way. You're a better friend to me than I am to you…"
"Yeah, I am." Finn admitted, giving Puck a sincere grin. "But I kind of like being a better friend than you…it helps you make the right decisions. Like what you did today…you didn't have to go to the police and tell them the truth but you did and I didn't have to tell you. I'm proud of you, man. You took responsibility for your actions. Did Santana and Kurt go with you?"
"No, it was just me." Puck sighed. "Look, I don't want Santana or Kurt to get in trouble, so I took the blame. No one's going to hire a Broadway actor like Kurt if they find out what he did as a teenager and…I don't know what the hell Santana's gonna do in the future." Finn chuckled at that comment before turning serious again. "Look, just go easier on them than you did with me, okay? I know what they did was wrong too but can you just stay mad until they apologize to you…and I won't tell them to do so, they'd have to do it on their own. I know that's kind of why you gave them a harder time than me...because they didn't apologize." Puck and Finn sat there simply staring at each other for a few moments—until Finn pulled Puck into a man hug.
"Remember when I said you had to prove to me you were sorry? Well...you did...and I forgive you." Finn smiled as he hugged his friend. "Thank you Puck."
"You're welcome. Oh the paper I handed you says the police dropped the charges on you and the probation so you might want to keep that." Puck said.
"Wait…since you confessed…are you allowed to leave the state for Nationals, right?" Finn wondered.
"My probation officer said I could." Puck admitted. "She thinks music will influence me and prevent me from doing bad things. So she says I'm allowed to go home and Nationals and anywhere else she deems acceptable."
"Oh you got a girl probation officer?" Finn couldn't help but laugh. "She's gonna be a hard ass on you!" Puck and Finn laughed as Puck patted Finn's back. It was going to take a while for things to get back to normal between Finn and Puck but this was a very good start. Puck suddenly remembered one more thing he wanted to do.
"Oh! So, I felt really bad about your guitar getting busted from the house party, so I got you a little present." Puck went behind the sofa to pull out a brand new guitar, causing Finn's eyes to widen with surprise, and even a huge grin on his face. "This is a 'I'm sorry I almost destroyed your house, almost sent you to jail and almost ruined your marriage' guitar."
"Wait, this is from when you kissed Rachel too?" Finn joked, causing Puck to laugh.
"Yeah...I still feel really bad about that..." Puck and Finn gazed at the guitar, letting out a slight smile. "Do you like it?"
"Like it? I love it..." Finn couldn't help but hug Puck again, a smile appearing on his face. "Thank you Puck." As soon as they parted, Finn and Puck heard a ding from the television, with Puck realizing it was Finn playing a video game against Marley.
"Dude, you left your mini-me waiting on MLB...which I'm not sure they had in the 80's...since you are doing 80's week after all." Puck pointed to the screen, causing Finn to chuckle.
"80's week takes a pause when I get home from school...besides, Marley's not my mini-me." Finn joked as he pressed play to continue playing. "She's a very good friend of mine…who's currently kicking my ass at this game."
"What level is this game?" Puck wondered.
"Easy." Finn blushed while Puck leaned back in his chair.
"Well, continue playing with Marley. This I gotta see. I have to see her win so we can both rub how much you suck at this game your face." Puck smirked as Finn laughed, still playing the video game with his friend who was all the way in Lima, Ohio.
The next morning, Simone entered the NYADA auditorium after getting a text message from Brody. She had to admit that she was curious as to why Brody wanted to meet her here, and she couldn't help but feel butterflies in her stomach. Was Simone actually starting like Brody after working with him all this time? No. It wasn't possible. She was a strong independent woman who didn't need a man, at least that's what she thought. Simone noticed Brody sitting on the stage as she slowly made her way over to him, putting on her best smile and holding her phone close to her.
"All right, what did you want to meet me for?" Simone asked before turning cautious. "And if it's to destroy the Glee Club, Rachel or Finn then the answer is no because they're actually really cool people and that club is the best thing I got in my life right now. Trust me, you wouldn't believe how crazy my life is." Brody simply chuckled, shaking his head at her.
"I see even though we're nice now, we still have a mischievous side." Brody smirked. "I guess that part is never going away. I didn't call you here to destroy the Glee Club, because I love that club too."
"Oh, then why did you call me here?" Simone wondered.
"Because I liked Finn's assignment, the whole 80's week thing…and I was wondering if you wanted to work on a song with me, seeing you have one of the best voices in Glee Club." Simone's heart sank a little when she thought there was a remote chance Brody was into her, but she didn't show it.
"I'd like to work on a song with you." Simone admitted, taking the lyrics from Brody and reading it. "Ah, What About Love? by Heart."
"Yeah, that song is one of my favorite 80's songs." Brody said. "I even have the 80's costumes and everything if you want to give it a try." Simone went over to Brody and took the jacket he had in his hand, giving him a small smile. The both of them continued to stare at one another with a small smile until Simone cleared her throat.
"Um, we should probably work on the song." Simone held up the lyrics as Brody agreed.
"Right, that would also be a good idea." Brody looked over to the band and pointed at them, the band starting to play the song.
{Brody and Simone look at each other and Simone looks down at the lyrics with a small smile}
[Simone]
I've been lonely
I've been waiting for you
I'm pretending
And that's all I can do
The love I'm sending
Ain't making it through to your heart
[Brody]
You've been hiding
Never letting it show
Always trying to keep it under control
You got it down and you're well on your way
To the top
[Simone]
But there's something that you forgot
[Simone and Brody]
What about love?
[Simone]
Don't you want someone to care about you
[Simone and Brody]
What about love?
[Brody]
Don't let it slip away
[Simone and Brody]
What about love?
I only want to share it with you
You might need it someday
[Simone]
I can't tell you what you're feeling inside
I can't sell you, what you don't want to buy
[Simone and Brody]
Something's missing and you got to look back on your life
You knew something here just ain't right
{Scene changes to the choir room and Simone and Brody sing as everyone smiles at them}
[Simone and Brody]
What about love?
[Simone]
Don't you want someone to care about you
[Simone and Brody]
What about love?
[Simone]
Don't let it slip away
[Simone and Brody]
What about love?
I only want to share it with you
[Simone and Brody]
What about love?
[Simone]
Don't you want someone to care about you
[Simone and Brody]
What about love?
[Brody]
Don't let it slip away
[Simone and Brody]
What about love?
I only want to share it with you
Cause…you might need it someday…
Brody and Simone were greeted with applause from the members of the Glee Club and Finn had to admit he was entirely impressed that they took the 80's thing to heart.
"Now that is how you do a great 80's performance! That was awesome!" Finn clapped his hands and Simone and Brody took a bow. "Great job guys."
"Thank you Finn." Simone said, turning to Brody and feeling her cheeks redden. Brody and Simone kept their eyes on each other for a moment before Brody cleared his throat and made his way over to his seat with Simone following in suit.
"All right, so I say that this week is coming to a close…but it's turned out really good…" Finn started over and saw Kurt raising his hand slightly. Kurt was hoping Finn wouldn't ignore him again as he had been doing all week, for good reason, but this time there was something he wanted to say. "Um…yes, Kurt?" Finn shrugged his shoulders, taking Puck's advice and hearing Kurt out.
"I'm surprised that you actually acknowledged me." Kurt smirked but when he saw Finn's face expression didn't change, Kurt sighed. "Right, um you're still probably mad about the party. So, I just wanted to say that..." Kurt didn't get to finish what he had to say since the bell rang. Finn looked up at the bell, realizing that it was time for everyone to get to their next class. Everyone got up from their seats as Finn went to go grab his backpack from the corner of the room. Kurt came down from the steps and stood in front of his brother, seeing Finn's face was still stone cold as he turned around. "Finn will you just listen to me for a minute?"
"I have to get to class." Finn coldly said, walking past his brother and heading out the door, leaving Santana and Kurt to stand there alone. Santana noticed Brittany walking past her and heading out the door and that was when Santana realized that Finn wasn't the only one that was upset with her—Brittany was too.
"I have to go." Santana sighed. "Rachel and I are going to the doctor."
"Why are you going to the doctor?" Kurt asked, seeing Santana's face stiffened.
"Um...uh...Rachel's pregnant." Santana lied, causing Kurt to choke on the air he breathed in.
"Rachel's...pregnant?!" Kurt sounded shocked as Santana shrugged her shoulders. "Why...why didn't Finn tell me this?!"
"Uh...I don't know, look I got to go...she needs my help." Santana started to make her way towards the door, but Kurt raised his eyebrow in suspicion.
"Uh, yeah...I'm supposed to meet Blaine." Kurt admitted, staring at Santana with a saddened sigh. "I know Finn's mad at us but he won't even listen to my song suggestion. I was going to suggest Take On Me but he didn't even listen."
"You know Puck told me that he went to the to Finn and Finn accepted it…also Puck now has community service for the next two years…" Santana retraced her thoughts and continued to stare at Kurt. "Maybe all Finn wants is an apology. There's nothing we can do about the police since Puck already took full responsibility. Maybe we should sit Finn in a corner where he can't get out of and apologize to him. Finn deserves that much since we kind of trashed he loft and broke his prized guitar…All right, as soon as I finish with the doctor, I have to drop by the guitar store…there's something there I have to do."
"Wait, what are you thinking about?" Kurt wondered as Santana made her way out of the choir room.
"This was my idea.." Santana smirked as she left. Kurt sighed, thinking about how he was going to apologize to his brother. He just hoped Finn didn't hate him.
Rachel sat in the waiting room of the doctor's office, waiting for Santana to come out from the doctor's room. She currently was reading a magazine, trying not to think about the possibility that Santana was pregnant with Puck's child. She would have sworn Puck would have learned his lesson from before...but hey, he was Puckerman after all. Rachel heard her phone ring, going into her pocket and seeing Finn was calling her. Rachel put the phone to her ear, sounding distracted.
"I'm reading a magazine." Rachel simply said.
"I'm great, I miss you and I love you too." Finn chuckled, causing Rachel to smile softly. "Where are you? I thought you had work at the diner tonight"
"I switched shifts with Kurt so I could go to the doctor." Rachel explained. "Is something wrong?"
"Wait, you're at the doctor? Why?" Finn began to sound worried as Rachel rolled her eyes playfully.
"Yeah, I'm at the OBGYN." Rachel explained. That was when she thought she heard Finn lose it.
"Holy crap, Rachel are you pregnant?!" Finn almost shouted. Rachel laughed, realizing that Finn thought the appointment was for her.
"No, no. I'm not pregnant." Rachel stated. "Santana's here and I'm going for moral support. Apparently something happened at the party and…she's kind of worried about it."
"Wait, what happened at the party?" Finn sounded tentative, but Rachel understood that Finn was worried about Santana.
"She got drunk and ended up taking Puck to bed with her." Rachel flipped through the magazine before she continued to speak. "She's really upset about it…and she's also upset about what happened at the party. Finn, I know you're mad at Santana and Kurt…but maybe you can consider giving them a figurative 'Get out of Jail' card."
"All right, explain to me why I should give them a second chance?" Finn questioned.
"Because if something happens to them, you're going to feel guilty." Rachel sighed. "Kind of like how you feel about Christopher." There was a silence for a few moments, but Rachel knew Finn was still on the line. "I don't want the same thing that happened to you about Christopher happen to Santana and Kurt. If something happens to them, you could never make amends…I just want you to understand that…yes, what they did was stupid but they're also teenagers. You were a teenager once yourself, right Mr. 20 year old?" She heard Finn let out a sigh and she knew she was able to get through to him.
"Just make sure Santana's okay…I'll talk to her and Kurt later." Finn silently said. "Look, I have to go. Um, I have to work on a song for Nationals, okay?"
"Okay." Rachel softly said as she winced slightly. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine." Finn said, but Rachel knew better than to believe Finn these days. "I'll call you later, make sure Santana's all right. I love you…"
"I love you too." Rachel smiled and hung up the phone. Her mind wandered over to Santana, hoping that she was going to be all right. As soon as she hung up the phone from Finn, she heard a ding, meaning someone had sent her a text message. She opened the text message realizing it was from Kurt, and her face scrunched up in confusion while reading it:
Rachel, why didn't you tell me you were pregnant?!
- Kurt
"What the...I'm not pregnant!" Rachel said allowed, realizing she had gained everyone's attention in the waiting room. Rachel sheepishly chuckled, going back to the text message as she typed in haste. Why was everyone asking if she was pregnant?!
Finn hung up the phone as he stared around the empty choir room. Everything Rachel had said was true, even the part about Christopher. Finn admitted to himself he was still mourning Christopher's death, and he even felt an empty space in his heart every time he woke up in the morning. If he ever got the same feeling from Kurt or Santana or even possibly Rachel leaving him too early, he'd just die inside. Finn stared over at the songbook that was on the piano and rushed over to it. He knew he was being just like Rachel, looking for a song that shared his emotions, but this was something that had to be done. He never realized it, but…he really missed Christopher, even though Christopher didn't know the first thing about giving him love. Finn turned around and creepily saw some of the band members just sitting there and he figured he would put them to good use.
"Here, since you're all just sitting here…how about you help me with this?" Finn questioned. The band members took the music from Finn as he looked at the empty choir room, and felt his heart swell up as the music started and he sung every single word with feeling.
[Finn]
I gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I'm older
Oh, whoa, oh
Now this mountain I must climb
Feels like the world upon my shoulders
And through the clouds I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder
In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I could face it again
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me
I'm gonna take a little time
A little time to look around me
I've got nowhere left to hide
It looks like love has finally found me
In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I could face it again
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life
{Scene splits to Santana standing in the doctor's office and the doctor tells her news as Santana nods her head slowly. She walks towards Rachel in the waiting room and she smiles at her. Rachel gets up and she hugs Santana tightly as Santana looks relieved.}
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
And I wanna feel, I wanna feel what love is
And I know, I know you can show me
{Scene changes to Finn singing in the choir room as he looks up at the celling, taking out Christopher's old medal from his pocket and holds it close to him while he keeps singing}
Let's talk about love
I wanna know what love is, the love that you feel inside
I want you to show me, and I'm feeling so much love
I wanna feel what love is, no, you just cannot hide
I know you can show me, yeah
I wanna know what love is, let's talk about love
I want you to show me, I wanna feel it too
I wanna feel what love is, I want to feel it too
And I know, and I know, I know you can show me
I wanna know what love is
As soon as Finn finished singing, he looked down at the medal that was in his hands and stared back up at the ceiling. He nodded his head towards the band and made his way over to the door, letting out a heavy sigh and feeling a couple tears stream down his cheek.
"I don't know why I was so mad at my friends…" Finn spoke softly to the medal. "Maybe, I was more afraid than mad…afraid that they could have done something at the party and I would have lost them forever…I already lost you…I can't lose them too." Finn wiped the few tears from his face and walked down the hallway, making his way towards the exit so he could go home.
Santana dropped by Sam Ash that afternoon after her doctors appointment, hoping that she would see Puck there. There was something she had to tell him-something huge. She had to admit she was surprised because he was writing down numbers for inventory-she didn't even know Puck could do math. Santana walked over to the counter, folding her hands together as she got Puck's attention, seeing he was now gazing up from the inventory sheet.
"Can I help you, Santana?" Puck wondered, looking back down at the piece of paper and scribbled on it. "I know you're not here to buy something, so just tell me what you want so I can go back to work." Santana pursed her lips, folding her arms together while she smirked.
"I'm pregnant Puckerman." Those words caused Puck to look up in horror, but when he saw Santana almost about to burst out laughing, his shook his head and pointed his pencil at her.
"Not funny, Satan." Puck grumbled causing Santana to smile.
"I know, but it was fun to see you panic for a minute." Santana said before her face turned slightly serious. "But we do kind of need to talk about what happened at the party..."
"Please don't tell me you've developed feelings for me because I'm going to stop you right there, I'm not interested." Puck said, hearing his phone buzz next to him. Santana gazed at the phone while Puck continued to flip through the papers for inventory. "I'll get to that in a minute."
"Eww, no I'm not interested in you." Santana shuddered. "I'll take my lady loins thank you very much. Look, we need to make sure what happens never happens again."
"Tell me about it." Puck sighed. "That was like a wake-up call...to think I could have had another kid...one in high school was enough, thank you. Look, Santana...I learned that there are other ways to let loose...you could read or something to let go and relax..."
"Read?" Santana's eyes widened. "All right, what talk show are you watching?"
"Look, a...a very good friend of mine told me you can let loose...by doing things you enjoy. it doesn't mean throwing a party. It could just mean kicking back and reading a book...I think that's what she was trying to tell me..." Puck's cheeks turned red as he heard his phone beep again. Santana gazed at the phone, staring back at Puck who's eyes widened in shock. Before Puck could do anything, Santana grabbed his cell phone and started going through it, a sly smile appearing on her face.
"Oh my god..." Santana laughed, holding his phone up. "You're texting Marley Rose "cutsey" text messages? Oh my god, I never thought I would ever see the day!"
"Santana, give me my phone back!" Puck muttered, trying to grab his phone while Santana stared at the multiple text messages the two exchanged.
"I don't think you need a party to move on from Quinn, you're doing it just fine on your own..." Santana continued laughing at the messages, but the more she read them, the more she realized she kind of wished someone like Brittany would text her nice things too. Santana wasn't sure why, but she felt jealous-and she didn't want Puck to even think about a relationship with anyone else. "You do know that this relationship between you two can never happen."
"What are you talking about? We're not in a relationship." Puck said, trying to take his phone back.
"But the way this is heading, I'm sure it's going to be that way." Santana sighed. "Puck, there's no way this can go on. For one thing, she's still in a relationship with your brother and two...this...no. It won't work. Besides, what would she want with someone like you anyway? You work in a guitar store and she probably wants someone who's more incredible and amazing than you. I'm jusy saying" Santana handed Puck his phone back, noticing she deflated Puck a bit. Santana shrugged her shoulders and left the guitar store, hearing another text message come through. Puck wondered if Santana was right, maybe this whole thing with him and Marley was crazy-until he looked down at the text message and felt his cheeks turn red.
Don't forget how incredible you are! :)
- Marley
Puck smiled at it and felt his heart take extra beats as he stared down at it. He thought for a minute and typed:
You're incredible yourself! Don't you forget it! :)
...before he pressed send and continued his work with a smile.
Santana had one more place she had to go so she could make amends with someone else...she entered the Julliard building, walking along the hallways until she could find one of the dance classes. As Santana peered into one of the classrooms, she spotted Brittany doing ballet-and she was rather good. As Santana stared, she felt her heart melt and a smile appear on her face. She noticed Brittany nodding to her teacher and going to the side where she could pick up her books to leave the room. As Brittany opened the door to the dance studio, she noticed Santana standing there...and she had to admit she was surprised.
"Santana?" Brittany wondered, raising an eyebrow with interest. "What are you doing here?'
"I came to talk to you..." Santana said. "Is it okay?" Brittany stared at Santana for a moment, nodding her head slowly and leaning against the wall. "Santana, I wanted to talk to you about what happened at the party...I realized I was beyond wasted and I did things I shouldn't have. The point I'm trying to make is...I'm sorry. I never should have pushed you aside. You're far too important to me and I made some mistakes. I do have to say...whatever reason you called the police...I don't blame you. You did what you had to do..." Brittany's face softened but she shrugged her shoulders.
"If I can say something...the reason I called the cops was because I was jealous of you hanging out with all those girls during the party...I know you were drunk and you weren't thinking...but...I was so mad." Brittany wasn't expecting Santana to hug her, causing Brittany to raise an eyebrow slightly.
"Do you realized that because you cared, you probably saved my life at the party?" Brittany raised an eyebrow at Santana's words, seeing Santana was shrugging her shoulders. "Who knows what could have happened. You think accidentally sleeping with Puck was bad...imagine if it was with someone I didn't know...so, thank you Brittany..." Brittany smiled softly at Santana, nodding her head slowly.
"Just because I'm not ready for another relationship Santana, it doesn't mean I don't love you..." Brittany softly said. "I'll always love you...and maybe one day when I'm ready to try again, we can run away to Lesbos Island or something." Santana laughed slightly and nodded her head with a smile.
"All right, but don't think I'm going to stop fighting for you." Santana said. "I'll be here waiting..." Brittany looked at Santana before leaning in and pressing a kiss to Santana's lips. Santana was surprised, and even Brittany was surprised when she parted her lips from Santana's. Santana gazed at Brittany with interest, noticing Brittany was shrugging her shoulders.
"I...I just wanted to make sure you still give sweet lady kisses." Brittany and Santana stared at each other, giving each other a smile before the two of them walked down the Julliard hallways to head back to the loft.
"Lord Tubbington." Brittany said as she walked through the loft that evening, spotting the cat sitting on the couch with a computer in front of him. "I thought I told you no more gambling on the internet. Here, how about some cheese instead?" Brittany took Lord Tubbington off the couch and led him to the kitchen, when the loft door opened. Brittany turned towards the door and Rachel looked up from her cooking, to find Finn entering the loft.
"Hey, there you are." Rachel smiled softly at him. Finn walked over to Rachel and Brittany, motioning for the both of them to come to him. Rachel and Brittany made their way over to Finn, only to be surprised when Finn embraced them into a tight hug.
"Is Finn okay, Rachel?" Brittany's voice sounded muffled as they both were still wrapped in Finn's bear hug.
"Yep, he's fine." Rachel smiled as she stared up at her husband. Finn loosened his grip on them as he gazed at them.
"Brittany, please don't ever stop with your hilarious quotes or you loving Lord Tubbington or…anything you do because you're awesome." Finn smiled as he faced over towards Rachel. "And Rachel, you are the most important person in my life. I love you…and I don't want there to be a day where I don't get to tell you I love you."
"I love you too, Finn." Rachel spoke, but she was still slightly quizzical. "Is everything all right?"
"I just…I need to speak to Kurt, Santana and Blaine." Finn sighed. "Where are they?"
"They're in Kurt's room…" Rachel didn't get to finish her sentence as Finn turned around and sprinted towards the room. Rachel and Brittany eyed one another, deciding it would have been for the best to follow Finn. As they made their way over towards Kurt's room, Finn knocked on the door and as soon as he spotted Kurt, he grabbed his brother and pulled him in for a hug. Santana and Blaine looked up from their gadgets to see Finn and Kurt hugging, wondering why Finn wasn't upset anymore.
"Finn, not that I'm not glad that you're here...and not mad…but you're messing up my hair." Kurt explained.
"I forgive you guys." Finn simply said, looking down at his little brother.
"What?" Kurt seemed confused. "Finn, what's gotten into you? You should be mad at us, ignoring us, telling us that we're mess-ups and screw ups and…"
"I love you guys." Finn cut Kurt off as Santana and Blaine made their way over to Finn. "I love you guys and I'm sorry I didn't explain why I was mad."
"We know why you were mad." Santana said. "You were upset because we threw a party."
"I was more scared than mad." Finn admitted. Santana and Kurt looked at one another, gazing back at Finn. "You see…Christopher died because of drugs…and people can easily die from alcohol as well…so, when I heard that you guys were wasted beyond compare, I guess I was scared that I could have lost you guys…and I don't want to lose you. I also don't want to not mend things with you guys god forbid something happens. I never had that chance to mend fences with Christopher…" Finn felt his eyes water as he continued to look at Kurt. "But I do have a chance to mend fences with you guys. I love you guys so much…and I don't ever want you to do something so stupid ever again. I don't know what I'd do if I lost you." Santana saw Finn was on the verge of crying and that was when she walked over to him and hugged him. Kurt, Blaine, Rachel and Brittany walked over and joined Finn and Santana in their hug. "This is nice…" Finn softly muttered.
"All we need is Puck and we'd be complete." Blaine chuckled. As if on cue, Puck entered the loft as he got home from work, spotting everyone in a group hug. He appeared quizzical, even hesitating to ask what was going on.
"Noah, get your butt over here and join the group hug." Rachel giggled towards her friend. Puck shrugged his shoulders and made his way towards the group hug, embracing everyone. The moment was perfect when Lord Tubbington came by and rubbed himself on Finn's leg, causing Finn to smile from ear to ear. Well the moment was perfect until...
"Oh by the way, Rachel...when were you going to tell us that you were pregnant?" Puck chided, causing Rachel's eyes to widen.
"For the fifteenth million time I am NOT PREGNANT!" Rachel shouted, earning a smirk from Puck. Kurt and Santana looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders, with Rachel's smile returning slightly.
"So…what do we do now?" Finn asked as they all looked at one another.
"Well, tomorrow is the last day of 80's week at Glee Club…and we did have an idea for a number." Kurt smiled.
"Lay it on me…" Finn smiled at his brother. Everyone looked at one another with a smile, knowing that the party drama was able to go behind them, and they were all friends again.
{Scene changes to the next afternoon as everyone stands in 80's clothing on the stage, gazing at one another with a smile. Blaine joins the group number of Finn's Glee Club as they all smile at each other}
[Finn, Kurt, Brittany and Puck with Finn Harmonic]
We built this city
We built this city on rock and roll
Built this city
We built this city on rock and roll
[Finn]
Say you don't know me or recognize my face
Say you don't care who goes to that kind of place
[Puck]
Knee deep in the hoopla, sinking in your fight
[Puck with Brittany]
Too many runaways eating up the night
[Brittany, Melissa and Rachel]
Marconi plays the mambo, listen to the radio
Don't you remember
We built this city
We built this city on rock and roll
[Finn and Brittany with Finn Harmonic]
We built this city
We built this city on rock and roll
Built this city
We built this city on rock and roll
[Santana]
Someone's always playing corporation games
Who cares, they're always changing corporation names
[Vicky]
We just want to dance here, someone stole the stage
They call us irresponsible, (with Dustin: write us off the page)
[Kurt, Blaine, Celina and Simone]
Marconi plays the mambo, listen to the radio
Don't you remember, we built this city
We built this city on rock and roll
[Finn and Brittany with Finn Harmonic]
We built this city
We built this city on rock and roll
Built this city
We built this city on rock and roll
[Finn and Brittany]
It's just another Sunday
In a tired old street
Police have got the chokehold, oh
Then we've just lost the beat
[Puck]
Who counts the money underneath the bar?
[Rachel]
Who rides the wrecking ball into our guitars
Don't tell us you need us
[Puck]
Cause we're the ship of fools
[Puck and Rachel]
Looking for America, coming through your schools!
[Finn (Speaking)]
I'm looking out over at the Golden Gate bridge on another gorgeous sunny Saturday
And I'm seeing that bumper to bumper traffic
[Brody and Simone]
Don't you remember? (Brittany; Remember, remember)
[Finn (Speaking)]
Here's your favorite radio station, in your favorite radio city, the city by the bay, the city that rocks, the city that never sleeps!
[Brittany and Kurt]
Marconi plays the mambo, listen to the radio
Don't you remember, we built this city
We built this city on rock and roll
[Finn and Brittany with Finn Harmonic]
We built this city
We built this city on rock and roll
Built this city
We built this city on rock and roll
Built this city (Simone: Oooooh!)
We built this city on rock and roll
Built this city
We built this city on rock and roll
[Finn Harmonic](Finn and Brittany)
We built, we built this city (built this city) We built, we built this city
We built, we built this city (built this city) We built, we built this city
We built, we built this city (built this city) We built, we built this city
We built, we built this city (built this city) We built, we built this city
[Finn, Brittany, Rachel and Puck with Finn Harmonic]
We built this city on rock and roll!
