AN. This was based off a tumblr post by notreallygleesecrets. This site won't let me link to the post so that sucks. I couldn't get it out of my head. This isn't quality but whatevs y'all.
Quinn constantly wishes she could go back and change a lot of things about her life. Who doesn't, really? People who were moderately happy with their lives have tons of regrets and would kill for a chance to change things. And they haven't even been through half of the shit storm Quinn Fabray experienced in her 18 years of life.
Quinn thought about all that had happened to her: getting bullied as Lucy, getting rhinoplasty, transferring schools, getting pregnant, giving up her perfect daughter, getting kicked out of houses and recently, getting hit by a truck. Not to mention a psychotic mental breakdown because no one saw how miserable she was until she dyed her hair pink, wore dark clothes and got a tattoo of Ryan Seacrest (which she still had, mind you). And the endless line of men who wanted to get with her but never wanted to get to know her. That's not even half the list.
It seemed that whenever something good happened in Quinn's life, something had to come along and ruin everything.
So, yes. There were a lot of things Quinn wished she had done differently or just generally wished never happened. Currently at the top of that list, was agreeing to being Joe's…something. She's not really sure what they are but right now, she'd rather gauge her eyes out than be his girlfriend.
It's nothing against Joe (ok, maybe it was; he was always following her around like some lovesick puppy), she really didn't know what she was thinking. He was a sophomore, for God's sake, and she was going to be on her way to Yale in a few days. Didn't she want a clean slate and not an anchor from her past to drag her down? Honestly, she wasn't thinking.
Maybe it was because a part of her thought that he could actually have the powers to heal her paraplegia. Because, really, he was Teen Jesus. And maybe a part of her was just imagining Rachel instead of Joe.
Every time Joe touched her or leaned in to kiss her, she was grossed out. But she imagines Rachel in his place and suddenly she wants to do everything with him.
Last week in PT, it was Rachel who was helping Quinn through the sessions and it was Rachel who was touching her in all the right places (she had regained the feeling in her legs and could even move them a little but putting pressure on them was hell). Although she was weirded out when she felt that boner. It almost broke through her fantasy; but then she thought that Rachel just had a G!P and was cool with that. After all, she would love and accept her for everything that she was.
Yes, she admits that she's reliving her fantasy of having Rachel through Joe and that is not healthy at all or even fair to Joe, which is why she is currently hiding from him. And plotting out ways to let him down easy. Plus, she really needed Joe to stop going to her PT sessions, the doctors have been complaining about him insisting that he do all those exercises instead of the professionals who were paid to do it.
And it was annoying that he was horny all the time. Quinn gets it; really, being the repressed Christian that she is, God knows how horny she is every time Rachel walks through the door. But with Joe, it's completely different, because he always has to blurt out his horniness. Like, how hard he apparently gets when he's helping her in PT. What even is with that? Physical Therapy isn't erotic at all. In fact, it's a huge turn off. For Quinn, it's a whole lot of pain and effort; and now awkward because Joe has to be there.
So she's hiding. In the school's basement. The weird thing is that they installed a ramp to get down here. Were there ramps everywhere in school? Not that she's complaining; it's actually nice for the handicapped like her.
Sorry, handi-capable. The doctors were always telling her not to think of herself as handicapped because there were so many things that she could do while in that wheelchair, it shouldn't hinder anything that she wanted to do in her life. And should not be thought of as an obstacle for reaching the dreams that she already had. Not that it mattered; really, she'd be walking in no time.
So she's reading a book in the school's basement and avoiding Joe like a plague while daydreaming about Rachel who was probably with Finn, now. Finn, he was such a gigantic idiot. Why was Rachel with the giant oaf? Why didn't she ever take Quinn's advice? Why was she being so dense? Why couldn't Rachel see that Finn's just dragging her down. She is so frustrating!
And anyway, why wasn't she with Quinn anyway? Quinn was perfect for Rachel. She wouldn't drag her down or make her go to California with her or make her drop her dreams for her. They'd have the perfect partnership and they'd love and care for each other with no restrictions. After all, New Haven was only 80 miles away. They'd have their weekends and holiday and we'd call each other all the time and skype and it would be perfect because there was no time difference.
But, sigh, that's only happening if she breaks up with her idiot fiancé and if Quinn finally gets the balls to tell her how she's feeling. The only way she's ever going to be with Rachel is when she imagines her in Joe's place and that is so not happening anymore.
Speaking of Joe, Quinn really hopes he doesn't find her here, it wasn't like everyone knew that the school actually had a basement but she did see Sugar whiz by a few minutes ago and if Sugar managed to find this place, who wouldn't?
'Stop thinking, Quinn. You should really get back to your book,' she thought to herself. Now, if only that whirring sound stopped.
Sugar was from the future. And she was currently down in the basement working out the kinks of her time machine. It might have been because Harmony decided to storm out of the past and go back to the future; just because Sugar decided to date Rory.
She doesn't get why Harmony was so uptight about that, it's not like Sugar did anything wrong. After all, sex wasn't dating. Harmony had no right to be mad at Sugar for anything.
And Harmony wasn't even doing her job. She was supposed to be in the past to help her moms through a rough patch. Now, Aunt Rachel is getting married to that tree and she couldn't buy out the City Hall to stop the wedding.
Luckily, Auntie Quinn got into the car crash and stopped the wedding.
But still, it was Harmony's job to get it together and she was in the future busy being angry at Sugar.
It wasn't fair.
Meanwhile, Sugar was not busy with her own moms. They were in that perfect couple place where no one existed except each other.
They were perfect. But that was more than she could say for Aunt Rachel and Auntie Quinn.
Bu that was good. Because life was becoming too boring for Sugar, and she needed something to keep herself entertained.
Now all she needed was to look for a way to make the two of them get together. But how?
She saw Auntie Quinn sitting in the shadows when she came in but she didn't comment. She was too busy thinking about how noisy the time machine was.
But now that she thought she should interject and take the Harmony's existence in her hands, she should probably talk to Auntie Quinn. Maybe she could convince her to go get Aunt Rachel.
And that's when it happened, a flurry of action happened in just a few seconds. Sugar was too busy devising a plan to make things right and brought the soldering iron she was using too close to one of the wires. A spark ensued and then a flash of light engulfed the entire basement.
Sugar dropped the soldering iron in shock and shielded her eyes from the light.
And as soon as it came, it was gone. The dim light of the basement returned and miraculously, the whirring of the machine stopped.
Sugar dropped his arms when her eyes adjusted to the now dark basement. She checked herself for any damage. Vitals were good; she wasn't disfigured nor was she turned into a mutant. She didn't think that would actually happen, but anything was possible. The flash of light could have had serious repercussions. She looked around the room, she was still in the present, or past really, as far as she could tell.
She stood up and went to see if Quinn was ok. Maybe she was a mutant or something. Like she said, anything could happen.
"Quinn?" she called out. "Are you alright?"
Silence met her question. Maybe she was being quiet because she didn't want Sugar to see her hideous form.
"It's ok, Quinn. I'll still love you."
She rounded the corner where Quinn was staying, fully prepared to hug her when the other girl gets scared about how she looks, and found no one.
Just a discarded book on the floor.
AN. So what'dya think?
