A Collection of Glee Oneshots 5

Plans (Fuinneth/Rachel/Puck)

"Hey, Rach." Finn said as he entered the choir room.

"Hey, Finn." Rachel smiled. "Did you wanna rehearse with me before everyone else gets here?"

"Actually, I came here early to talk to you about something." Finn responded.

Rachel looked at Finn. "Everything okay?"

"Can you keep whatever I say between us?" Finn asked.

"Of course." Rachel said, inviting Finn to join her.

Finn sat down beside Rachel on the piano bench. They were facing the keys, not each other, but they were sitting close.

After a few minutes of silence, Rachel put her hand on Finn's arm and looked at him. "You wanted to tell me something?"

"Yeah." Finn nodded. "What do you think of me going to New York?"

Rachel furrowed her eyebrows.

"I wanna be an actor, and I know people usually go to L.A. for that, and I could go with Puck and his pool-cleaning business, but at least if Quinn's in Connecticut, New York is closer to her." Finn blurted.

Rachel looked at Finn, taking in all the information he just spewed at her.

"New York is close to Connecticut, right?" Finn asked.

"Much closer than L.A." Rachel confirmed.

"So." Finn shrugged. "What do you think?"

"I think New York would be great for you." Rachel told Finn. "What did Quinn say?"

"I haven't talked to her yet." Finn said. "I was hoping maybe you could help me with my application? You know, the self tapes and headshots and stuff? You're pretty good at all that."

"I'd love to." Rachel responded. "But won't Quinn be suspicious of us spending so much time together?"

"Maybe, but when I get in, it'll all be worth it." Finn noted.

"You think she'll be okay with you not going to New Haven with her?" Rachel wondered.

Finn turned to Rachel and looked at her. "You're gonna think I'm a bad person for saying this."

"You're one of the good guys." Rachel reminded Finn. "I don't think there's anything you can say to change that."

"It's just..." Finn paused for a moment, thinking it over. "I've been working so hard, and I don't wanna follow anyone else after graduation. I mean, I love the girls, but I don't wanna follow someone who dumps me every other week and a kid I didn't even want."

"What did you just say?"

Finn jumped and turned around, quickly getting up when he saw Quinn.

"Quinn, hey. How long have you been standing there?"

"Long enough." Quinn answered. "What did you just say about Beth?"

"N-Nothing." Finn stuttered. "I didn't mean it like that. I meant-"

"Stop." Quinn said softly. "You don't think I've made sacrifices? You think it's been easy for me to give up everything?"

"I just meant I've never had a choice." Finn argued. "It's always been what you wanted. You wanted to have her, and keep her, and then break up, then get back together and-"

"I chose you." Quinn interrupted, tears filling her eyes as the rest of the glee kids started arriving.

Finn furrowed his eyebrows as his gaze followed Quinn's to Puck.

"Puck?!"
