Previously...
Santana's p.o.v.
"This is not about me. I've been really looking at them recently and they do not act like a couple. That's one thing I know for sure. Somethings up and I'm gonna find out." I say taking a sip of my latte.

"Oh stop being so suspicious Santana. Nothings going on between them except for true, pure love and that's that." He defends smiling. I roll my eyes. I'm not so sure about that lady Hummel.

{3 days later}
Finn's p.o.v.
"I wanna take you somewhere." I say then Rachel looks up at me and smiles.

"And where might this somewhere be?" She asks.

"You'll just have to wait and see." I say taking her hand and pulling her off the couch. Then we get into the car and leave.

"Wait Finn, what are we doing at a high school?" She asks me as I pull into the parking lot.

"Because this isn't just any high school. It's my old high school. This place is like my second home. It's so special to me. And I want to show it to you." I say looking at her.

"Oh ok." She says with a smile then we get out and head in.

Santana's p.o.v.
"Ok so I just followed around Finn and Rachel all morning and I've got just about nothing to convince you but I swear I will soon." I say walking into Hummels bedroom and laying down on his bed defeated. He looks up from his book.

"Oh my god. Are you still on to them Santana? You're so creepy! Just leave them alone and let them be happy." He says rolling his eyes.

"It's not like I'm gonna ruin their relationship. Which by the way, I'm pretty convinced doesn't even exist." I say crossing my arms.

"What do you mean you think their relationship doesn't exist?" I hear someone say. I sit up and see Carole in the door way confused.

"Um-" I choke up not knowing what to say.

"Oh don't listen to Santana. She doesn't know what she's talking about. You know her, trying to make everyday into a criminal minds episode." Kurt says nervously laughing. But Carole doesn't look like she's buying any of it.

"Haha. Good one." I say rolling my eyes at him.

"I don't get it. What's going on?" She says coming in and sitting down.

"We think Finn and Rachel are hiding something." I say slowly. She widens her eyes.

"W-Wait wait... you mean like an engagement?!? I knew it!" She says excitedly. Shit. Wrong choice of words Santana.

"N-No. We-." Kurt looks at me sternly. "Well I think they are faking their relationship." I blurt out. She looks at me.

"What? What makes you think that. That can't be true." She says trying not to laugh at my accusation.

"Trust me. I think they're hiding something. Just watch closely the way they act. You'll know somethings up." I say pacing.

"Santana you know how much of a crazy person you sound like right now!?" Kurt says widening his eyes.

Rachel's p.o.v.
We walk into the school and start walking down the dark open hallway.

"So what are we gonna do here?" I ask but I don't hear an answer. So I turn around and don't see Finn anywhere. I just see empty halls.

"Finn?" I ask and start walking down the hallway faster and faster. "Uhh Finn? Finn where are you?" I say getting kinda worried cause I have no clue where I am.

"Finn this isn't funny-"

"What's the matter Rachel?" Finn says popping out of a classroom door.

"Oh my god!!! Shit Finn!! Why would you do that!!" I scream scared. I slap him hard in the shoulder. He starts laughing. "That wasn't funny! I was scared." I say then start to fake pout. He stops.

"Aw I'm sorry I-"

"Who's there?" We here someone say.

"Shit." Finn says then grabs my hand and pulls me into the classroom.

"Who is that?" I ask crouching down under a desk with Finn.

"I don't know. Maybe a security guard or something." He whispers. We wait there for a second then hear the door open and footsteps. We sit there quietly as the person walks around examing the room. After a couple seconds he sighs then turns off the lights and leaves. We wait a couple minutes until the coast is clear.

"Let's go." Finn says getting up and reaching down for my hand.

"What are we going?" I ask unsure.

"We're gonna have some fun. Come on Berry. You're safe with me." He says. I sigh then give in. I grab his hand and he pulls me up and starts dragging me out of the classroom.

We run into a huge dark room laughing hysterically.

"Oh my god that was so much fun." I say trying to catch my breath. "Who knew a school had segways." I say.

"I know right." Finn says smiling also trying to catch his breath.

"Where are we now?" I ask just standing looking into darkness.

"You'll see. One second."

I hear Finn start to walk away.

"Finn what are you doing?" I ask then all the sudden I see the lights go on and a spotlight hits my face. I look around and see myself standing on this huge stage in front of hundreds of seats. I immediately feel at home.

"Wow." I say mesmerized.

"I know." Finn says starting to walk back towards me. "Pretty big for a high school right?" He says hopping back on the stage. I nod.

"You should sing something." Finn suggests.

"Me? By myself? Yeah I don't think so." I say with a nervous chuckle.

"Oh come on. It's just me." He says. I look into his eyes.

"Fine." I say then look out into the empty seats and close my eyes.

{starts singing}
Rachel
Highway run
into the midnight sun
Wheels go round and round
You're on my mind

Restless hearts sleep alone tonight
Sending all my love along the wire

Finn suddenly joins in. I look at him shocked but keep going. Rachel Berry never lets anything interrupt a performance.

They say that the road ain't no place to start a family
Right down the line it's been you and me
And loving a music man ain't always what it's supposed to be

Oh, boy, 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

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Faithfully
I'm still yours
I'm still yours
I'm still yours
Faithfully

{they stop singing and just look at each other with their faces only a couple inches apart}

"I didn't know you could sing." I say still shocked and out of breath.

"It's just pop a secret talent of mine. You sounded amazing." He says getting closer.

"You did too." I say also starting to lean in. Our lips get closer and closer. I close my eyes as I feel his breath.


"I can't." I say suddenly. He backs away.

"What? What's wrong?" He asks confused.

"I'm sorry Finn. I just... I can't do this." I say then run out of the auditorium.
