Mr. Shue's office
Finn's POV:

"Wow. That's a really big plan. Are you sure you can pull it off?" Mr. Shue asks me

"Yeah, I'm 100% positive I can. I have the entire glee club helping me, so there should be enough helping hands" I say, and he sighs

"Well, I guess I can end practice early enough for you to start decorating in time" Mr. Shue says, and I smile and hug him

"Thanks Mr. Shue" I say

"No problem" he says, and we hear the door open. We both pull back from the hug and see Santana standing in the doorway

"Santana, what's up?" I ask

"It's Rachel. I think she knows somethings up" she says, and I immediately get worried

"Well, she doesn't have an idea of what we're doing, right?" I ask her, and she sighs

"I have no idea, but she said something about not being able to be in the same room as people who are lying straight to her face" she says

"Where is she?" I ask her

"I don't know, she just left the choir room" Santana says, and I race out of the door, and it of the choir room, trying to find Rachel before she leaves McKinley. I get out of McKinley, and see Rachel get in her car and I sprint to her door. I tap on her window, and she looks at me, and rolls her eyes. She rolls down the window, and she sighs

"What are you doing, Finn?" She asks me

"Asking you why you're leaving! And why you think everyone is lying to you!" I exclaim

"Well maybe that's because everyone has been whispering, and then when I ask them what they're talking about they say nothing!" She says

"Maybe it really is nothing!" I say back

"Really, Finn? Is it really nothing when they look at me and point when they think I'm not looking?" She says, and starts rolling up her window

"No, Rachel c'mon!" I yell, and back away from the car. She starts pulling away, and she leaves McKinley, thinking we don't like her. I race back into the choir room, and they all look at me

"So? Where is she?" Santana asks me

"She left. But, I have an idea" I say, and everyone looks at me weirdly

"What is it?" Kurt asks me, and I smile

"We set up tonight!" I say, and everyone looks at me  like I'm insane

"Are you insane!? We barely bought anything for it, let alone planned for it! Finn, Rachel's birthday is in 4 days! We have time!" Santana exclaims

"I know that, Santana. But, if we wait until her actual birthday, we might lose her. And, I don't want to. Not again" I say, and everyone looks around, as if talking with their eyes. Santana walks forward, and sighs

"So, Frankenteen, what do we do?" She asks, and I smile

2 hours later...

"Okay everybody! Put all of the decorations you got on the piano, so that we see what we got!" I say, putting my bag on the piano. Everyone else trails in with their bags and put them on the piano as well.

"Okay, everyone, tomorrow is Friday, so, let's take as much time as we need to, to make this perfect!" I exclaim, and everyone grabs a bag and starts decorating except for Santana, who just looks at me with a smile

"What?" I ask laughing

"It's just, you care so much about Rachel that you're throwing her this gigantic party for her birthday that you don't have to do, and, she's gonna love it. It's just- you really, really, care about her. You're not afraid to show your love for her, and I admire that" she says, and she looks like she's about to cry

"Santana, what's wrong?" I ask her, and she takes a deep breathe

"I want to show that I love Britney. Because I do, love her. But, I'm afraid to. I don't think I'm ready to come out to the whole school yet. The people in Glee Club are the only people that know" she says, and a tear slides down her cheek

"Santana, if you love Britney that much, you shouldn't be afraid to show it. I understand how hard it must be to be so different from everyone else. But I promise you, that the entire glee club will be by your side" I say, and she wipes her tears

"But is it worth getting bullied and slushied? I mean, I don't want to hate my high school experience, but, I also don't want to hide myself from everyone any longer" she says, and I hug her

"Finn, what are you doing?" She asks me

"You just looked like you needed a hug. So, I gave you one" I say, and I can feel her smiling. She hugs me back, and breathes out again

"Thank you, Finn" she says, and pulls back

"Now, let's get to decorating!" She says excitedly, and we all start decorating for Rachel's party

2 hours later...
8:30pm...
Santana's POV:

We finally finish setting up for Rachel's party, and I have to say, it looks absolutely amazing. I mean, streamers everywhere, balloons, pictures of Barbra Streisand, Patti Lupone, and everyone else she's basically obsessed with. We set up a little projector that's going to play Rachel's favorite movie on the white bored, and I know she's gonna love it. Finn really went all out for Rachel. He shows how much he loves her, no matter what anybody else thinks. I think I can learn a thing or two from Frankenteen. I mean, he basically just got out of a coma that he was in for months, and he's already up and at it to make sure his girlfriend has the best birthday ever. I mean, I give him major props for that. I see Finn packing up his things to go, and I walk over to him.

"I think you did a really nice job today, Finn" I say, and he smiles

"Well, I wasn't the only one decorating. Everyone did a great job" he says

"Finn, maybe you're right" I say reluctantly, and he looks at me confused

"What do you mean?" He asks, and I sigh

"If I really do love Britney that much, I shouldn't be afraid to show it. Even if it means being bullied and getting slushied" I say with a tiny smile, and he smiles at me

"Don't worry. Come out when you're ready. But when you do, I'll be there to be slushied with you. And bullies? Don't worry about them. You're Santana Lopez! No one can stop you" he says, and I hug him

"What is this for?" He asks as he's hugging me back

"You're right. I did need a hug" I say, and I smile. I had made up in my mind what I wanted to do. I was going to face my biggest fear. I was going to be with Britney S. Pierce, in front of the entire school.
