That night, Rachel found herself staring at her mirror. She was dressed in a new dress that flowed just by her knees and hugged her body tight. Her hair was out with light curls and even her makeup was light but done in an elegant way. She still couldn't believe that the one person she never thought she would see in New York was here and now, she would be going on the first real date with some one she liked (loved) and actually being able to just be herself.

She made sure to keep checking everything. Her hair, makeup, just everything she could think of. She wanted the night to be perfect and in some way, she wanted it to be one of the best nights she had experienced in her life.

Eventually she was pulled from her thoughts as the doorbell chimed. She heard her room-mate Kurt in the other room rustling about until she heard him speak. "Don't worry Rach. I know it's for you but I'll get it."

He must have known she was nervous and still making sure she looked the part. Of course she had spent hours getting ready for boys before and you would have thought she would have been experienced by now but this was Finn. She had to look more than perfect. She knew Finn wouldn't mind though, to him she was perfect and he had always done everything in his power to make sure of that.

When she heard voices in the background. She couldn't help but open up a wide smile. Finn's voice always managed to bring a smile to her. It was just some affect he had always managed to hold over her.

After smoothing out her dress, she did one more check of how she looked before she heard Kurt gently knock and poke his head in.

"Rach, you look fine." Kurt assured her.

Her bestfriend always managed to get her confidence up and after turning to nod at him, she grabbed her purse and coat and headed out into the living room of the small apartment.

Of course the moment the tall handsome boy she loved so much came into view, her jaw dropped in amazement. That boy always did manage to clean up nice. He was dressed in a dark suit but with no tie. That was something she always thought was sexy on a guy.

"F-finn." She stumbled out and walked over, trying to close the gap between them. "You look, amazing." She added, her fingers running through one of his lapels.

"Not as amazing as you Rach." Finn replied with his adorable but goofy lopsided grin.

Of course as he spoke, Rachel got lost in his smile. The goofy lopsided grin that tugged on the side of his face always had the same affect on her. It made her knees go week and her same old butterflies flutter around her stomach.

"Should we um.. Go?" Finn eventually asked, breaking Rachel's stare as she nodded.

"Yeah, we should." He agreed, her hand slipping into his as they said goodnight to Kurt and left for the evening.
