Ok, I'm back. This story is not for the finchel hearted…meaning, if you want lovey dovey, this is not your story. If you like "Vitamin D" finchel, and you enjoy the funny bickering…I'm your writer! Thanks again for the reviews…even the ones who disagreed with what I was doing with the characters. I hope you realize I'm just having some fun! I take them all into account though. Thanks guys!

Rachel quietly opens the door to the condo and throws her purse on the kitchen table. She takes a big sigh, thinking about Finn going back out with the guys. He's so going to regret this in the morning, she thinks to herself. She walks over to the couch in the family room, and starts to throw the cushions off onto the floor so she can pull the bed out. I should probably call him and tell him to come home, she thinks, as she throws the pillows and blanket on the bed. She walks into the hallway bathroom where she had left her and Finn's things for the next few nights, and began to get ready for bed.

When Rachel walks back out into the family room, she walks over to the kitchen and leaves the kitchen sink light on. She is worried all 3 men will end up knocking something over and waking up everyone in the household. She walks over to the bed, rolls over, and pulls the covers over her head.

Two hours later…

"Come on Finn, put the key in the hole and open the God damned door! I have to piss like a race horse" Nick said to him, as he watched him jiggle through his pockets.

"I can't seem to find it" Finn said, while leaning himself up on the door.

Kurt is nowhere near the two guys, because he decided to go up and down the elevator in the building. He had claimed to Nick and Finn that he had never seen an elevator before, and he wanted to know if it would take him back to Ohio.

"Got it!" Finn said, as he located his key, and then put it in the door.

"You guys" Kurt said, stumbling off the elevator. He is so wasted, he is not even sure he knows where he is. "Oh my God, you guys" he said, tugging on Nick's shirt.

"What?" Nick turned around and asked.

"You guys" Kurt repeated, not even knowing what to say next, and then it came to him. "Ohio was SO. AMAZING" he said, referring to his magic elevator ride back to Ohio.

"I don't think I've ever heard Ohio and amazing in the same sentence" Nick said, as he watched Finn finally push the door open.

Nick fled past Finn's arms, and ran straight towards the bathroom. He had to pee really bad, and didn't care who he hurt on the way there.

"Ow" Finn said, as he started to giggle when he walked into the chair in the kitchen.

"Shhhhh" Kurt said slowly, as he followed Finn into the kitchen. "You are going to wake up Raquel" he said smiling.

"Who's Raquel?" Finn asked, squinting at him and laughing.

"Your French wife" he said back, falling back on the chair and laughing.

"Ohhh right" he said grinning, and putting his hand on his chin. "Oh there she is!" he said with enthusiasm, as he pointed to her walking in from the kitchen. Rachel had overheard the commotion in the hallway, and got up to get everyone to go to bed.

"Come on Raquel, let's get crunk" Kurt said, as he grabbed both sides of her waist, and then touched her one boob.

"Kurt!" she squealed, and pulled back. She wanted to laugh, but she found too many reasons not too. "You guys are wasted" she said sighing.

"Oui" Finn said, smiling as he grabbed a glass of water.

Kurt just laughed at Finn's response in French, and Rachel secretly smiled at how cute he can be. However, her main objective is to get Finn to bed, and make sure the guys stay quiet so they don't wake everyone up in the house.

"I might have knocked Finn's boxers in the toilet by accident" Nick said, as he entered the kitchen.

"What?" Rachel asked him confused.

"Well, unless they are yours. Sorry, they were on the counter by the sink, and I fell over and knocked them in. No worries, I took them out, and they are hanging on the door" he said, as he started to rip off his shirt in the kitchen.

"Oh dear, now he's got wet underwear for tomorrow" Rachel said, shaking her head.

"Don't worry babe, everything is going to be fine for tomorrow" Finn said, as he stumbled over to her and put his hand on her shoulder.

"Ok, let's all go to bed, so we can enjoy tomorrow. Finn has to get up in 3 hours" she said looking at the clock in the kitchen.

"Yes, come on Nick. We're sleeping in Zack's room together" Kurt said, as he grabbed his arm and started to pull him towards the bedroom. Nick's eyes widened, as he realized Kurt might have a small crush on him.

"Good night you two" Finn said smiling, as he watched them walk away. "They're so nice" he said smiling, not really making a lot of sense.

"Yes baby, they're very nice. Ok come on, let's go to bed" she said, trying to guide Finn over to the bed.

"Thanks" he said smiling and leaning on Rachel, as she unzipped his jeans and started to pull them off of him. "Oh, are we having sex right now?" he asked her, confused where he is at the moment.

"No, I'm helping you get to bed. You need to get SOME rest before the parade tomorrow. Come on" she said as she sat him down on the bed.

"I love you" he said, as he fell back and let Rachel pull his jeans completely off. She then grabbed the covers and threw them on him, while she fluffed up his pillow.

"I love you too baby" she said, as she kissed him on the cheek. She walked away to turn the lights off in the kitchen, and then get back in bed herself. "I set your alarm for 8, so you can plan to leave around 8:30" she said sighing, as she got under the covers.

"Thanks" he said, as he turned over to his side and threw his arm around her body.

"You're welcome" she said, as she kissed his forearm that was lying across her. They both fell asleep.

The next morning…

"Mmmhhhm" Rachel sighed out as she took the covers and put them over her head. She slowly opened her eyes and saw the sunlight beam through the windows. She immediately jumped up and looked around, and didn't see Finn. She looked at the clock and realized it was 9:45, and that Finn should have already been downtown for the parade. He is scheduled to go on at 10:15.

"Ugh good morning" Kurt said, as he moped to the kitchen in his robe and pajamas to grab a cup of coffee.

"Good morning Kurt" Rachel said, as she got out of bed and crossed her arms over her chest, because she did not have a bra on.

"Don't worry, for your age, they are still perky" Nick said as he sprinted out of the bedroom and passed Rachel towards the kitchen.

Rachel rolled her eyes and just ignored his comment. "I can't believe you guys are up. I thought you might sleep until at least noon" she said, walking towards the bathroom to get a robe.

"Are you kidding me?" Kurt said as he tried to work the coffee pot. "We can't miss Finn at the parade! I want to see this live" he said.

"Yeah, what time is he on?" Nick asked, as he toyed with the controller to put the TV on.

"Within the hour…I think he said 10:15, so he's one of the first acts" Rachel said, walking from the bathroom and into the kitchen to help Kurt with the coffee.

"He was pretty wasted..I mean, if I had to perform on a float in front of millions of people right now…"Kurt said, as he put coffee grounds into the filter, "…I wouldn't be able to fake it. I think I'm still drunk" he said, as Rachel pushed the start button for Kurt as he sat down on at the kitchen table.

"I'm waiting for him to fall on his ass" Nick said, while he found the channel and plopped on the couch.

"Do you guys hear that?' Rachel asked them both, as she looked around the condo.

"Hear what?" they both asked.

"Nothing. It's quiet in here, and it's almost 10am…they all should be up by now" Rachel said, as she started to walk towards the master bedroom. She opened the door and noticed the bed was neatly made, and no one was in site.

"Where is everyone?" Kurt asked, as he got up and walked towards Rachel to look around.

"Maybe they went to get you more of that KY Jelly that Zack smeared all over the house last night" Nick said in a snarky way. Rachel just ignored him, but unfortunately was reminded of that embarrassing mishap.

Before anyone can say anything else, the front door started to jiggle, and in walked the grandparents and Zachary.

"Oh there you guys are" Rachel said with a huge smile on her face, as she walked over to greet her son and parents.

"Yeah, we figured you kids would be out late and wanted to sleep in. We went out for breakfast" Burt said, as they all came in and took off their coats.

"Breakfast is a good idea" Nick said, as he put down the controller and started to walk towards everyone in the kitchen. "Especially since Finn is in charge of Thanksgiving dinner" he said.

"Speaking of that…wasn't he supposed to put the turkey in the oven?" Kurt asked Rachel.

"Uhhh, I don't….no" Rachel said, shaking her head. "I have no idea his plans…we never got a chance to talk about the logistics of today" she sighed.

"Hi honey" Leroy said, as he awkwardly looked at his daughter and then walked away. Rachel knew it was because of the incident last night, and she sure as hell couldn't blame him.

"Sorry daddy…I-I-I-…" Rachel stuttered, not really knowing how to begin.

"No worries" Heram interrupted, as he put his hand on her shoulder. "We'd all like to forget the incident of our suitcase smeared with arousing jelly that you had in your closet. And besides…glad you and Finn….well….are getting….along" he said, hesitantly, and insinuating more.

"I'd actually like to know where you got…" Carole started to say before she was interrupted.

"PLEASE stop" Kurt said, before she can continue. "It's bad enough I had to picture Finn and Rachel" Kurt said, as he started to pour himself a cup of coffee.

"And you guys probably thought I'd be the problem of the bunch" Nick said, as he poured himself a cup of coffee.

"Oh oh oh Ok everyone" Rachel stuttered. "I obviously gave you a more intricate look into mine and Finn's…private lives" she said, trying to come up with the right words. "But…."

"He's on next!" Nick excitingly interrupted Rachel, as he noticed Finn was going to be on TV next.

Saved by my husband, Rachel thought to herself, as she watched them all get excited for Finn's national TV debut.

After the commercial break, they are all sitting on or near the couch, ready to watch Finn dance live with Susan Lucci on the 'All My Children' Float.

"Oh my God! There he is!" Kurt excitingly shouted. Everyone clapped and started to laugh as they saw Finn on the float with Susan Lucci behind the scenes of the commentators talking.

"He's going to be on any second" Carole said, as she clasped her hands in excitement.

"Rachel, you should text Finn and tell him we see him" Nick said.

"Now? He's going to be on any second" she said, grabbing her phone anyway.

"I know, but he keeps his phone on him all the time. Maybe he'll read it and send us a wink on TV or something. He'll know you were thinking about him right before he goes on. Didn't Finn text you every year right before you went on?" Nick asked.

"Yeah, he'll love it. Tell him to send us a signal!" Kurt encouraged her.

"Ok, I better ask him about the turkey anyway" she said, as she started to send him a message.

As the commentators kept talking about the history of the parade, Rachel was finishing up her text message. Everyone else was staring at the TV, waiting for Finn's debut.

"Ok…I sent it" Rachel squealed, as she sat on the arm of the couch next to Leroy.

"What did you tell him? Did you tell him to give us a wink or something?" Carole asked, as she played with Zack, who was on her lap.

"I told him to…Oh THERE HE IS" Rachel said, as she didn't finish her sentence because she was distracted when she saw him on the float.

"Oh my…Finn does look a little tired" Kurt said, as he tilted his head watching.

"Yeah" everyone said in unison.

"Why is he digging in his pocket awkwardly?" Nick asked, almost embarrassed for him, because of how uncomfortable he looks.

"I don't know" Rachel said, confused.

"Do you think he's reaching for his phone?" Burt asked. "Probably heard the text or something" he shrugged.

"Yeah" Nick said, as he kept staring at the TV.

Everyone is sipping their coffee and staring at Finn. He's supposed to do a simple dance, then break into some funny work out moves, that will promote the work out dvd that he will be staring in. But, he's looking like he's struggling up on the float.

"Well, Susan Lucci has never looked better, I will say. However, Finn looks distracted as hell" Kurt said.

On the float, Susan Lucci is waiving to the crowd, while Finn is half waiving to the crowd. Their song is supposed to begin in less than a minute. They are supposed to break into a ballroom dance on the float, and then the song scratches into a high intensity work out song, where Finn will then show off his work out moves to promote the dvd. On the show, Finn plays her son who is a part time ballroom dance instructor. He found out she was his mom, while giving her lessons. The producers of All My Children thought this would be a cute idea to promote the show at the parade.

"Oy, Finn's not even waiving to people, he keeps digging in his pocket" Rachel said, with a worried look on her face.

"Stop worrying about your phone and perform Finn!" Heram yells out to the TV, in hopes it will knock some sense into Finn.

"You probably shouldn't have texted him Rachel" Nick said, as he took a sip of his coffee. Rachel just shot him a look, knowing full well that he was the one that suggested it in the first place. "Now he's totally distracted" he said.

And right when Nick said that…something happened. Finn finally was able to grab his phone, but with a weakened grip. As he motioned his hand to pull the phone out, it started to fly faster than his hand can keep up. The cell phone flew out of his pocket, and in one quick motion, Finn tried to catch it from falling. It hit his knuckle, and the phone projected too far for him to reach.

"Oh my…" Carole said, as everyone's eyes widened. They all watched Finn juggle his phone out of his pocket, as he bent over to catch it….he fell along with it. He fell directly off the float. The commentators almost didn't know what to say.

"Oh my God!" everyone yelled out, as they zeroed in on the television. Rachel started to almost cry, as she was worried about her husband, and everyone else was trying to keep calm to make sure he was going to be ok.

"Rachel, what kind of a signal did you tell Finn to do?" joked Kurt.

"…And what is that hanging from the float?" Nick had asked.

"Yeah, I see it too. That's not…." Kurt stuttered for a moment. "Is that…is that his pants?" Kurt asked confused.

"I think it is. I thought I saw a glimpse of his butt crack, but I wasn't sure" Leroy said. Everyone started to look at each other out of disbelief of what they just saw. The commentators on television announced that they were going to go to commercial break.

"Oh nooooooo! I can't believe he fell off the float!" Rachel panics, as she tries and calls Finn on his cell.

"I think he's ok, I saw all the fireman run over to him, lucky bastard" Kurt said, trying to be supportive, and looking for something positive.

"Dude, that totally was his pants" Nick said, shaking his head. "Does anyone want anymore coffee?" Nick asked, oblivious to what just happened.

"He's not answering!"Rachel panics, and throws her cell on the couch.

"Of course he's not answering. He fell off a float, trying to catch his phone…ironically enough" Burt said to everyone.

"That's it…I'm going down there" Rachel says, as she runs to her bedroom to grab some jeans and a sweatshirt.

"I'll go with you" Kurt said, as he started to get dressed as well. "Those fireman looked like they needed help" he said, trying to smooth down his hair as he ran towards the other bedroom.

"Wait…guys! They are back!" yelled Carole.

Rachel and Kurt ran back towards the television to see what happened.

"Well, sorry for the delay folks" said the commentator. "It appears we had a slight mishap with All My Children star Finn Hudson…"

"Star?" chuckled Nick, from the comment.

"Yes, a slight mishap, but it turned out he's ok" the other commentator said. "The story we heard was that he had fallen off the float, when his cell phone went flying. He attempted to catch it, but as he was leaning over, he went too far and went directly off the float" she said.

"But I think he's lucky, because his pants had caught on the railing, which actually slowed him down. He was able to position himself to fall safely. He's ok folks, and this is definitely a first for the parde" the commentator said.

Rachel sighed out of relief that he was ok, and everyone else took a deep breath as well. Leroy and Heram both walked over to Rachel to give her a hug, and put their hand on her shoulder. They knew she was in panic mode, and they felt bad for their daughter.

"Does this mean I'm not going to meet those firemen?" Kurt frowned.

"They're lucky my son has such a hard head" Carole tried to joke, to lighten up the mood.

"Well, this young fellow is going to have quite the story to tell his family" one of the television commentators announced. "Not only did he fall off the float, he lost his pants" he started to laugh.

The other commentator started to chime in, "And it looks like his fans also learned something else about him…he likes to go commando" they both laughed. "Anyway, let's move on to the next float…" the commentator continued to talk, as Nick started to lower the volume on the TV.

"Ok, well, Finn is now the laughing stock of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade" Rachel rolled her eyes in embarrassment for her husband.

"…not to mention the laughing stock of the free world" Nick chimed in.

"Ok, shut up Nick!" Rachel snapped back. She feels so bad for Finn, and really wanted him to be successful up there today. She really was rooting for him, even though he was all smug the last few weeks about how easy this sort of thing is. She's still going to privately make fun of him later for making this sound easy, but right now, she feels really bad.

"Ok, well, I should probably help with the Turkey. I don't want Finn to think he has to do this entire dinner by himself" Carole said, as she got up to go to the kitchen to get the turkey ready.

"Yeah, we'll all chip in" said Leroy. Burt and Heram started to follow in the kitchen.

"I still feel like I need to go down there" Rachel said, crossing her arms and shaking her head.

"Why don't we wait till we hear from Finn" Nick said, as he got up to walk towards her.

"Yeah, I'm with Nick on this one. I think we should wait. It's a madhouse over there, and you're best to wait to hear from Finn. Maybe you should try calling him again. He might be able to answer" Kurt said.

"Or, his phone is broken" Nick said.

"Ugh…that's true. His head can be broken for all that matters!" Rachel started to get emotional. "I'm not sure what I should do. Part of me wants to say 'I told you so' for staying out late, when he knew he had to be up early in front of millions of people" Rachel said, shaking her head.

"Well, I suppose it's our fault for enabling this to happen" Kurt said, rubbing Rachel's shoulder.

"I just feel really bad for him. And I shouldn't, but I do" she said, almost starting to cry.

"Well, you love him dear" Leroy said, overhearing their conversation from the kitchen. "Looks to me that he's not injured, other than his pride of course" he said.

"Yeah, we should all take it very easy on him when he gets home" Carole said, wanting to protect her only son.

Nick put his finger up, attempting to comment on making it easy on Finn. Rachel recognized that he was going to say something, and automatically shut him up.

"Don't say anything Nicholas...I know what you're thinking. It's actually all your fault that he fell off this float" Rachel irrationally said.

"All MY fault? All MY fault?" he repeated. He doesn't even know how to answer that interrogation.

"Yeah, you have to challenge him every time we go out. AND, you're the one who told me to text him as well. He wouldn't have been digging for his phone if you didn't put me up for it. It's almost as if you wanted him to fail!" she yelled at him.

"Fail? I don't need to do shit…he's done a fine job of making himself look like an ass since I've known him. He doesn't need my help" Nick fought back.

"Yeah, but you're always involved. You're the antagonist" she bit back.

"Yeah, involved in getting BOTH of you guys a job at All My Children! So yeah, you can say it's all my fault, because Finn wouldn't have a float to fall off of if it wasn't for me!" he argued his case, getting a little closer to Rachel.

"Guys! Guys!" Kurt intervenes. He walks over to them, and physically puts his arms out to give them some space. They both looked like they were about to throw down any minute. "It's no one's fault here. It was a freak accident. Now is not the time to put blame on anyone" he said. "If anything, we're all to blame".

Rachel and Nick both fold their arms and give each other looks. They are not even sure who or what they're mad at, but the tension has definitely got the best of them. Everyone in the kitchen turns around to see what the commotion is all about, but it's hard for someone else not to step in.

"Ok, I don't want to get in the middle of it here" Burt continues, "But Finn is a grown man, and it should be no one's fault. No one is to blame, except for the guy who actually fell off the float. If anything, blame the cell phone" he said, trying not to laugh.

"Burt's right" Heram said. "We're all here as a family, that's what Finn wanted in the first place. Let us handle dinner now, and you kids take care of Finn" he said.

"I better put Zack down for a nap, and maybe then we should go down there and see if we can find him" she says, walking away to pick up Zack. He was playing with his toys during all of the fighting.

"Ok" both Nick and Kurt agreed.

After 20 minutes go by, Nick and Kurt had gotten dressed. Rachel put Zack down for a nap, and came out of his bedroom ready to grab her purse and leave.

"Ready?" she asked the boys.

"Yeah, let's go" Nick said, grabbing his coat. Rachel walked over to Carole in the kitchen to give her a hug.

"Thanks so much for everything" she said, giving her a warm embrace.

"It's ok darling, I'm glad we can help. This is actually kind of fun. We'll finish everything, and maybe by the time you guys come back, the food will be ready" she said smiling.

"Well, I hope we're not back that long" she said, breaking their embrace.

"Are you kidding me Rachel? You know how many people are down there right now? It might be hours before we figure out where he is" Nick said, holding the front door open.

"Why don't you call someone you know down there? There's got to be someone from All My Children that you know who is down there right now?" Kurt asked, as he walked towards the door with Rachel.

"Yeah…my husband!" she said, as they all walked out.

Once they got downstairs, Nick attempted to hail a cab. "I don't think a cab is going to be a good idea. I think we should take the subway" Rachel said to him.

"You don't know what you're talking about, the subway is a terrible idea" Nick turns around to argue with Rachel. As they are both arguing on the best way to get down to the parade, a cab pulls up.

"Here guys, someone is getting out of this one" Kurt said.

The door opened, and all 3 of them couldn't believe it. "Finn!" they all yelled out.

Rachel ran over to him to give him a big hug and a kiss, and even Nick walked over to pat him on the back. Kurt just stood there in disbelief of the timing of it all.

"Hi guys…I'm guessing you saw what happened?" he embarrassingly asked.

"No, I don't know what you'd be talking about buddy" Nick sarcastically said. They all started to walk inside the condo building to get out of the cold.

"Baby, what were you thinking digging for your phone like that?" Rachel asked Finn. She had locked her arm with his as they both started to walk up the stairs.

"I forgot to turn my cell phone off, and I heard the sound of an incoming text message. I wanted to grab it and turn it off before we started to dance. I didn't want any distractions. We all know I'm not the lightest on my feet" he said, as they all shook their head in agreement. "So anyway, my hands were cold, and I was nervous as hell. I was in a hurry to shut it off, but couldn't get it out of my jeans. You know how it goes when you are in a hurry?" he asked all 3 of them. Again, everyone nodded in agreement. "So, I panicked, and the rest was history" he shrugged.

"Well, you certainly made history today" Kurt said, slapping his back.

Right before they walked into the condo, Finn turned around. "Yeah, well, whoever I find out who texted me 2 seconds before I was ready to perform on the float, I am going to kill them!" he said shockingly.

"Oh-oh-oh really?" Rachel stuttered.

"Yeah, I mean, everyone I know knew I was going to be on that float. Who would text me at that moment?" he asked. "Too bad I never got to read it…my phone broke when it hit the ground" he said, turning the knob and walking into the condo.

All 3 of them looked at each other, knowing it was Nick who told Rachel to text him, and everyone agreeing it was a good idea.

"Oh this is going to get good" Nick whispered as they all followed Finn.

When Finn entered, the grandparent's were all happy to see him. They all hugged him, and Finn re-told the story. He was upset that his performance was a bust, but glad to see the entire family together on Thanksgiving. That was truly his goal in the first place. He just wanted everyone together in New York.

An hour later, Stephanie had arrived. Finn again, re-told the story of him falling, and she said she heard it on the radio on her way to their place. A couple hours later, dinner was ready, and they all sat down to eat.

::clinging the glass:: "Everyone, everyone…I'd like to say a few words before we sit down to eat this wonderful Thanksgiving meal" Finn said. Rachel, who was sitting on the opposite end of the table, sighed and smiled at her husband. "Thank you for everyone's generous help in the kitchen, and just for being here. God bless us all today, and I look forward to many more years of us together on this holiday" Finn said, raising his glass.

"Cheers" everyone said. They all raised their glasses and took a sip of their water.

"And one last thing…I was given some very good news today" he said smiling. They all looked intrigued and curious of what he was going to say next. "After my fall off the float, and me making some pretty hilarious headlines…" he continued to say. "I got a call from one of the producers from Dancing with the Stars. They think it would be fun, and a real ratings grabber for them if I joined their cast this season" he said, with a huge grin on his face.

"What?" Rachel asked, with a confused look on her face. Everyone else, except for Nick and Rachel, started to cheer and laugh. They all are excited at the opportunity for him. "How did the producers call you so soon? You literally just fell off the float a few hours ago" she asked.

"Well, All My Children is on ABC, and so is Dancing with the Stars. I guess they were toying with the idea of a soap star this year anyway, and as soon as I made headlines with falling off the float…someone called right away. They knew it would be a great transition for both shows" he said, sitting back down on his chair. "Ok everyone, let's dig in" he said, wanting to eat.

"I honestly cannot believe what I'm hearing. I have so many jokes going through my head right now" Nick said, with his mouth wide open. "I mean, you can't dance…and you certainly are not a star.."he wanted to continue until Stephanie cut him off.

"Come on Nick, I think you're just jealous" Stephanie said, defending Finn.

"He always is" Finn said, digging his fork into the stuffing.

"Ok, I myself, has so many questions, but when are you going on this show? Isn't it shot in California?" Rachel asked Finn.

"Yeah…and we start rehearsals in a month. Just right after Christmas" he said to her, like it's no big deal.

"B-bu-bu-but, what about the show?" she asked Finn.

"I can do both. I fly out to California half the week, then the other half, I fly back to tape the show. They're going to write me around Dancing with the Stars" he said.

"Well, I am so excited for you, I think this is great!" Carole said. "My boy dancing on Dancing with the Stars! I can't believe it" she said smiling.

"Thanks mom" Finn said.

"Ok Finn….sorry to keep going back to this, but what about me and Zack?" she asked him.

"What do you mean?" he asked confused.

"Well, how often to you have to be in California?" she asked him.

"Not sure babe…as soon as I know more, I will let you know. I'm flying out there next week" he said, eating.

"Next week?" she began to compose herself. "Sorry, next week?" she asked in a more calm, sweet voice.

"Yeah" he said nodding. "Please pass the gravy please?" Finn asked, ignoring Rachel.

I hate this, Rachel thought to herself.

Everyone continued to eat dinner, and they all talked about how exciting this opportunity will be for Finn. Carole and Kurt even romanced the idea of Finn becoming a huge movie star, after his stunt on the show. Rachel quietly sat there, trying to be a big sport, but couldn't help but feel jealous. After all, it WAS all her fault that he fell off the float in the first place, which led to the offer.

END OF CHAPTER 12
