Rachel stared at herself in the mirror. Her hair had been pinned back in a ponytail, she was wearing a white tank top and shorts, and she was applying makeup to her face. She was going on a date with Finn. All they were doing was going down to the lake to talk and eat a picnic and watch the sun set, but she was so excited.

She finally decided that she looked good enough. She gave her cat, Mr. Sunshine (a joke, because his fur was entirely gray) a kiss on the top of the head. "I'm so excited, Mr. Sunshine!" she squealed. "I'm going on a date with my boyfriend Finn. I promise to tell you every single detail of it when I get back!" she grabbed her phone off her nightstand, got a jacket (just in case it got too chilly) and then headed downstairs. She grabbed the picnic basket, which contained turkey and cheese and roast beef and cheese sandwiches, two slices of Oreo pie, and a bottle of Coke for Finn and a can of Arizona Tea for Rachel, and some deviled eggs. Rachel went out to her car and got in, driving to the lake.

Finn was already there. "Hey," he said, smiling at her.

"Hey," she replied, smiling. She came over and spread out the picnic blanket, and then sat. Her and Finn talked and laughed as they ate their food and watched the sunset.

"This is so strange to me," Finn said. "The only girl besides you I've ever dated before… well, besides that one date with Brittany and Santana, because it doesn't count… was with Quinn, and, you know, she was real high maintenance and always wanted to go to fancy places for dates, she would have a cow if I suggested we do something as simple as come to the lake and have a picnic." He smiled. "And going to all those fancy places was really hard on my wallet, too."

Rachel smiled. "I don't care where we go on a date, as long as we're together. Well, I might care if you took me on a date to the graveyard, because I admit, I'd be totally weirded out."

Finn laughed at her brutal honesty, and then leaned forward to kiss her. However, she leaned forward at the same time, and instead of meeting lips, they bumped noses.

Rachel brought her head back, clutching her bruised nose, her eyes welling up with tears of humiliation. She jumped up and ran to her car.

"Rachel…" Finn called, but she refused to talk to him.

When she got home, she ran up to her room and collapsed on the bed, beginning to cry. "Mr. Sunshine, the date was horrible!" she wailed. "We bumped noses when we were going in to kiss!" suddenly, she heard the sound of someone knocking on the door, but she didn't answer. The knocking went on for half an hour, until it stopped and a couple minutes later, Rachel heard the sound of small clicks on her window. She knew it was Finn and didn't want to talk, but finally she got sick of the consistent clicking and decided to open the window and talk to Finn, just so he'd go away.

She slowly got off the bed and walked to the window, raising it. "What do you want, Finn?"

"I want to come and tell you that I don't blame you for our noses bumping when we were kissing," Finn said.

"Go away!" Rachel said. "I don't want to talk to you. I don't want to talk to anyone ever again!"

"Rachel, don't you think you're being a little overdramatic?" he asked.

"No!" she shouted. "I'm shutting the window now!"

And with that, she slammed the window.

"So what happened between you and Finn yesterday, anyways?" Santana asked as her, Rachel, Quinn, and Brittany walked down the hallway.

"How did you know about that?" Rachel asked.

"He told us," Quinn said. "Anyways, what happened?"

"It was so embarrassing, and now he hates me!"

"No, he doesn't," Quinn said.

"How do you know? Did he tell you that too?"

"Well, no, but I dated him, I know Finn Hudson."

"And I slept with him," Santana chimed in.

"I once made out with him when we were playing spin-the-bottle," Brittany chimed in with her normal monotone voice.

"What, you slept with Finn?" Rachel asked.

"Not the point!" Quinn snapped. "Anyways, all I'm saying is that he doesn't hate you. And he wants you to meet him in the auditorium today at 4."

Rachel walked nervously into the auditorium, looking around. She saw Finn on the stage.

"Hey," he said, giving her a wave and she smiled at him.

"Come onto the stage, Rach," he said. "We're gonna sing together. Do you know Marvin Gaye's 'Ain't No Mountain High Enough?'"

"Well, yes," Rachel replied. "But what about costumes, and music, and choreography?"

"Relax," Finn said. "We don't need costumes, I got the band to cover us, and for choreography, just follow my lead."

Rachel nodded as the music started and she began to sing her part.

Listen baby, ain't no mountain high

Ain't no valley low, ain't no river wide enough, baby

If you need me, call me, no matter where you are

No matter how far, don't worry, baby

Just call my name, I'll be there in a hurry, baby

You don't have to worry

Finn began to sing and Rachel continued to sing as he pulled Rachel into a tight embrace and they began to swing dance.

Cause baby, there ain't no mountain high enough

Ain't no valley low enough, ain't no river wide enough

To keep me from getting to you, baby

Then, as Finn began to tango with her, Finn began to sing by himself.

Remember the day I set you free

I told you you could always call on me, girl

And from that day on I made a vow

I'll be there when you want me, someway, somehow

Then, they began to sing together again, their voices tangling together in harmony.

Cause baby, there ain't no mountain high enough

Ain't no valley low enough, ain't no river wide enough

To keep me from getting to you, baby

Then, Rachel continued to sing as Finn's voice faded out and went to backup.

Oh no darling, no wind, no rain

No winters cold can stop me baby

No, no baby, cause you are my love

If you ever in trouble, I'll be there on the double

Just send for me, oh baby

My love is alive down in my heart

Although we are miles apart

If you ever need a helping hand

I'll be there on the double just as fast as I can

Then, Finn began to sing.

Don't you know that there ain't no mountain high enough (high enough)

Ain't no valley low enough, ain't no river wide enough (wide enough)

To keep me from getting to you, baby

Don't you know that there ain't no mountain high enough (high enough)

Ain't no valley low enough, ain't no river wide enough (wide enough)

To keep me from getting to you baby

As the song finished and Rachel and Finn pulled apart, Finn gave her a smile.

"Rachel, I don't blame you for our noses bumping."

"I know," Rachel said, nodding, and her and Finn kissed."
