alifab who wanted all of the above.AN 2: Thanks be to
fuzzy_paint for giving me the idea and encouraging me even when I thought it was crap.
Rachel doesn’t really have any friends. She knows this. So when she told the Glee kids, her potential friends, about her sixth sense, she hadn’t really known what to expect.
Just as she hadn’t been able to anticipate Finn’s reaction. When she’d told him.
-------
“Wow.”
“Finn?”
“Wow”
“Yeah, well...”
“So you can like read people’s minds and stuff? Cause that’s so cool! You’re just like Professor X or something, except in shorter skirts and less British.”
“No, Finn, it doesn’t work like that.”
“Well, I know that you’re not actually Professor X, or you’d be in a wheelchair and you’d have a team of X-men to back you up, and I’m pretty sure you don’t have them hidden away in your purse or bag or whatever.”
“No, I mean, I’m not like Carrie or anything. It’s just I get a weird feeling about certain things.”
“So you’re not going to freak out and burn down the prom?”
“No.”
“Oh.”
“Finn?”
“Yeah?”
“Are you freaking out?”
“Nah, I think it’s cool.”
“Oh. Okay.”
“So can you like talk to dead people, like that kid from the Bruce Willis movie?”
-------
And that is how it really begins.
Rachel has never really thought about trying to commune with those in the hereafter, but Finn has brought up an interesting point.
To really try and hone an ability one must practice extensively.
Which is exactly how she and Finn have found themselves in his old house, the one left abandoned because of the extensive termite damage. The house that his mom and dad had rented together before he was born.
The perfect place to practice.
She places the Ouija Board (a silly party trick to most people, but potentially life changing to her) on the floor as Finn lights candles around the room.
They sit across from one another, their hands resting lightly on the stylus prepared for whatever might come. She speaks quietly into the flickering flame beside the board.
“Clear your mind, and take my hand.”
When he does, she works hard to ignore the rush of warmth that flows through her.
“Mr. Hudson, if you’re here, we want to speak to you.”
Finn’s eyes are wide and locked on hers. His palm is sweaty, but so is hers.
The air around them feels chilled but the room is silent except for her ferret and Finn’s mouth breathing.
“Mr. Hudson, if you’re here, please talk to us.”
She waits another minute, the tension rising.
“Mr. Hudson, we’re- “
The candle beside them flickers out. She screams at the top of her lungs. The board flies away from her hands. She tries to get as close to the door as she can, jumping and screaming and jumping again with Finn. He screams along with her.
They run through the door together, not stopping until they get to his car.
When Rachel starts to come back into herself, when the fear begins to dissipate, she realizes that her face is right by Finn’s which means that he’s lifting her up by the waist. Her feet dangle off the ground, and she finds herself absolutely consumed by his lips (in an effort to replace the scared feeling with something else entirely). She’s only a breath away when Finn finally speaks.
“Rachel?”
“Yes?”
If she just leans forward a bit they’ll be kissing. Oh, she really wants them to be kissing.
“Where’s your ferret?”

Date: 2010-02-02 04:33 am (UTC)Now, the question is...who went back in to find and retrieve her?
no subject
Date: 2010-05-02 07:05 pm (UTC)I don't know why Rachel owns a ferret either... they're kinda creepy like.
Umm... obviously Finn (being the manly man he is) had to go in and retrieve Mrs. Snuggleton. Come to think of it, did we have an e-mail chat to this effect? ;)
