*jumps up and down ecstatically* YES!!!!! YES YES YES YES YES YES!!

OMG, if I'm not careful this is going to be a Rachel-Berry-style rant of compliments!!

Every other line had me either swooning, laughing, awwwwwwwing, grinning moronically, or a combination of all four! :D Everything was just too perfect and I love this!!

I'm totally looking forward to whatever comes next from you! Happy V-Day! ♥

[hope813]

*hugs* I am glad you liked your story. I never would have thought of doing a Valentine's sequel to "Baby, It's Cold Outside" without you! By the way, I sort of named Finn's aunt after you. ; )

I am glad that you swooned, laughed, sighed, and grinned! I hit the big four! I have no idea what to write next. I want to do something different--angsty--but I seem to have a mental block against putting Finchel through too much pain. *sigh*

And, how a can Rachel-Berry-style rant of compliments be a bad thing???

[elimaru]

Really? You named her after me? I am so honored! :D Haha.

And please, NO ANGST! adlervan always gives us plenty of that (which, btw, I am dying for the next chapter, just in case adler is reading this entry/comment!)

I seriously love this to death, bb. :) And I'm glad you wouldn't have minded if I went Rachel-Berry-ranting.

OMG! I totally dispise this holiday, but you made me love it with this story!

Rachel and Finn+ Valentines? TOTAL WIN. And Finn is so friggin' cute. :)

Story idea: Trip to New York City! :)

[hope813]

New York? You want a trilogy? Haha! I will have to think about that one.

Thanks so much for all of your reviews. The feedback really does keep me going!

SQUEEEEEEEEE!!! That was BEYOND EPIC!!!! AH-MAZING. So amazing that I can barely stand it. They are just so dang PERFECT together. So freaking incredible. Great job.

[ellodie186]

Holy crap, I just saw jorjafoxfan04's idea. NEW YORK WOULD BE THE BEST THING EVERR!!!!!!

[hope813]

*groans* I left myself open for that one, didn't I? ; ) I will think about it. Thanks for the suggestion.

[hope813]

Thanks so much! I really LOVE the feedback. They really are perfect. *sigh*

[hope813]

Thank you hon! I am glad I finished it without knocking my head against a wall!

[hope813]

Oh, I am about to knock my head against something! I wanted to do something different for my next story, so asked for prompts in my Author's Note and everyone has asked for ANOTHER sequel (the New York trip)! I almost lost it trying to get through this one! I so walked right into that one, didn't I?

LOVED IT SOULMATE!

I loved your idea for rachel's present-- Rachel Covers Epic Power Ballads! It's so sweet, and I could totally see her doing that!

And YAY for Broadway and Aunt Ellie in Hoboken! maybe they can hide her hearing aid batteries LOL :)

[hope813]

Thanks, Soul-Mate!I just added the part about Rachel giving Finn a gift at the last minute (the rest of this chapter has been pretty much done for a month). Even though it meant making a long chapter longer, it didn't feel right to me that Finn would be the only one giving a gift. Rachel is very thoughtful and I was sure she would have done something special for Finn on Valentine's Day. She's not that girl--the one who expects things from a guy and doesn't give anything back. I felt like she would have done something for Finn even without expecting a gift in return.
