A/N Sooooo this is my time so please be gentle with the reviews. This is slightly AU and is set in the summer before senior year. Everyone should be in the fic somehow. I am not sure how long I am going to make the fic but, I do know where I want to take it :)
I need to give some credit to Kagekamay for editing it. Your awesome :D just saying... As always R&R ;)
Rachel Berry groaned as Get low by Lil John and the East Side Boyz blared from her phone, waking her from what could possibly have been the best Wicked theme dream she had ever had.She squinted at her alarm clock: 2:18 AM.
"Who in their right mind would be calling at this hour?"
Rachel grabbed her phone from on top of her bedside drawer and glared at the caller I.D. "Q. Fabray." Before she had a chance to answer her girlfriend the phone stopped ringing.
"Urgh!" Rachel was gonna throw her phone at the wall but, being Rachel she had to keep her composure. She dialed Quinn's number and called. Two seconds later she heard "Rachel?"
After taking a deep breath Rachel finally managed "Yes Quinn? What could you possibly want at 2:25 in the morning? I will not, I repeat will not get your ice cream for you again."
Way to keep your composure. Her anger didn't come out of nowhere though. Rachel remembered those nights where Quinn would drag her at 11 o'clock to the grocery store because she was craving ice cream. Although she enjoyed the late night grocery runs what wasn't fun was the lack of sleep she got after them.
"Sorry babe," Rachel blushed at the work "babe" "Don't worry its nothing like that. I already dragged Santana on that tonight." Rachel then rolled her eyes "It's just with you being gone and all because of your Broadway camp and my cheer camp I wasn't able to see you much this past summer and with only two weeks left I was wondering if you wanted to go on a trip with me for a week."
"Uhh… A trip? What place did you have in mind?" Rachel said sarcastically
"California. "
When Rachel heard their destination her mouth dropped "Ca…Cal…California?" she finally managed to stutter. In the four months they had been together Rachel never though Quinn would do something as big and sudden.
"Yes California, you know it right? It's the state with the Golden Gate Bridge, beautiful beaches, and the city that's famous for movies Hollywood?" Quinn was starting to get that reaction she wanted.
Rachel immediately started to plan in her head what they were going to do. "Quinn I hope you know even if I want to go I don't know if I can because my dads are out on a business trip and won't be back for a couple days. I could call them but, there is no guarantee they will answer."
Quinn sighed "Well Rach I would make that call soon and hope they answer because our flight is leaving at 11 and that is in about eight and a half hours."
The anger Rachel was feeling earlier was quickly coming back "Quinn Charlotte Fabray you are just now telling me our flight leaves in eight hours? I still have to pack and read tour guides and plan what we are going to do! You know I hate going somewhere unprepared! I just got back home four hours ago from camp and you choose now to tell me about this trip?"
"uh… kinda?" Quinn was nearly speechless. She had never heard Rachel react like this. What happened to the composed and unbreakable Rachel Berry? Maybe it is just a lack of sleep. She did say she just got home four hours ago. Damn this trip won't be fun if Rachel doesn't get some sleep.
"You are unbelievable Fabray!" Rachel hung up and now Quinn really was speechless. She sat there thinking about how she thought Rachel would be happy they would be spending a whole week together after hardly talking for three weeks because Rachel's Broadway camp "doesn't allow cell phones because it would disturb the actors form performing to their maximum potential and also do add to the realism of the camp because it is bad etiquette to have your phone on while watching a Broadway production because if it goes off it is both a distraction to the audience and to the actors."
The only time they were able to talk was when Rachel was able to use the counsler's emergency phone. Quinn wasn't sure how Rachel got the phone but, she thought it was better to ask that when Rachel wasn't seemingly wanting to kill her. What did I do wrong?Quinn thought. She nearly jumped out of her bed when her phone vibrated. "Yes?"
"You are so lucky my daddy loves you Ms. Fabray He said I can go and to be safe. I don't know what he is thinking letting me go to California with a girl who seems to have no plan whatsoever."
"Is that all he said?" Quinn asked curiously
"He also sends his love and thinks it is romantic you are taking me on this surprise date and also to be careful and not have too much fun at night" Rachel blushed at that last comment.
"So it's ok if we do it during the day then right?" Quinn said jokingly
"Quinn Fabray, I hope you are not taking me out on this date just to get into bed with me. We haven't even gotten to 3rd base yet!" Rachel was starting to get really annoyed just when she was starting to calm down a little
"Woah calm down Rachel it was just a joke. I agreed to take this relationship at your pace and that is what is going to happen." Quinn felt a little hurt that Rachel said what she did.
"So what time are you picking me up?"
"Around 8:30 I guess? Sound good to you?"
"Yes that will give me ample time to read up on my books of California and pack appropriately for the weather."
"Alright I'll be there." Quinn hoped to God that "appropriately would mean short shorts and tank tops. Not argyle sweaters.
"Before you go just a piece of advice Quinn."
"Yea?"
"Never ever do something like this again, ok?"
"Sure thing." Quinn then hung up before Rachel could start another rant. I just wanted to surprise her. Whats wrong with that? Sure enough Rachel called not even a minute after.
"Quinn you forgot to tell me what city we are landing in. How am I suppose to make proper plans as to where we are going to go if I don't know where we start?" Rachel was surprisingly back to her calm demeanor again.
"Oh sorry we are landing in San Fransisco" Quinn answered
"Ok, well I am going to get my stuff packed first. Bye bye for now. I love you" Rachel said and then hung up the phone.
"Well that went well." Quinn said to herself.
Before she knew it six hours had passed and Rachel had spent all that time doing something. She did her laundry, packed her luggage, read two tour guides on California and planned what they were going to do for the week. Rachel was dead tired and before she could get dressed and ready she passed out on her bed. She slowly woke up when she felt someone's hands running up and down her arms.
"Daddy?" She said
"No silly it's me" the blonde said.
Rachel shot right up. "Oh my god I am so sorry Quinn I accidentally fell asleep while I was reading a guide book. Rachel went to her bathrooms sink and quickly washed her face. Quinn however was busy staring at her girlfriend's ass. Damn I really missed her she thought.
"Quinn would you please go downstairs and allow me the privacy of my room and bathroom so I may quickly shower and we may be on our way?"
"Yeah sure." Quinn quickly recovered from her staring contest with Rachel's ass and walked downstairs.
After attempting and failing to dry her hair Rachel quickly got dressed in a pair of jean shorts and a tight white tank top. On the way out of her room she grabbed her sunglasses and walked down the stairs to where Quinn was watching T.V.
When Quinn heard Rachel she turned around and looked at Rachel. "God I love it when I am right" she whispered to herself.
"Quinn I know I am a mess at the moment but, please don't stare at me."
Rachel's voice made Quinn snap back into reality "Oh…yea sorry shall we go now?" Quinn said while grabbing one of Rachel's bags.
"Yes, lets" Rachel said as she grabbed the other bag.
As the couple walked to Quinn's car there was a slightly awkward silence. Finally when they got to the car Quinn asked "So how was your camp?" Quinn was trying to see what kind of mood Rachel was in. After what happened earlier that morning Quinn was slightly afraid of her girlfriend.
"It was terrible!" Rachel exclaimed " It was like no one there even cared about the arts. The acting was horrific. The singing off key and the camp counselors were high most of the time."
Still in a bad mood I guess"So that is how you got the phone." Quinn said
"Yes it was still awful though. I missed being with you Quinn" Rachel was starting to blush slightly.
"I missed you too, Rach, which is why we are going to California" Quinn said as she pulled out of Rachel's driveway. On the way to the airport they didn't talk much to each other, but instead sang along to the music Rachel was playing on her Ipod. It wasn't until they were dating that Quinn finally realized Rachel wasn't just into Broadway music, but also hip hop and rock.
When they finally got to the airport they unloaded the car and then Quinn asked Rachel "Can you wait here with the bags? I need to park the car" Rachel only nodded in response.
As Quinn drove off to park the car Rachel felt a light tapping on her shoulder. She turned around and jumped back when she saw her ex-boyfriend standing in front of her.
"Woah calm down Rach it's just me." The oaf said
"Finn, what is it? And don't "Rach" me. There is no way you can suddenly try to be all buddy buddy with me after dumping me like that and ignoring me afterward for 7 months."
Finn's mouth formed a small "o" shape "Look Rachel I am sorry I did all of that to you. I didn't want to hurt you. I was just mad that you almost cheated on me with Puck and I would do anything to have you back."
Rachel was glaring at him at this point "So what? Did you expect me to just jump back into your arms after all you put me through?"
Finn answered "Maybe?"
"Stupid stupid stupid boy!" Rachel proceeded to storm off, but Finn pulled her back and made her look at him.
"Well why not? Look Rach I still love you and you love me so why not? I just hope I can make it up to you on this trip." Finn said
"This trip? What do you mean? And why are you here at the airport anyway?" Rachel said while jerking her arm away from Finn
"I thought Quinn told you. She is inviting the whole glee club on a trip to California before the school year starts again. Isn't that why you are here?" Finn asked slightly confused.
"Of course it is," Rachel muttered through gritted teeth.
At that moment Rachel saw Quinn and stormed off to her girlfriend. "Quinn!" Rachel said menacingly. "Why didn't you tell me the whole glee club was coming?"
Quinn was speechless "How did you…" She stopped talking when she saw Finn smiling at her with his trademark goofy smile. "Look I can explain-"
"Good because it seems like you will need an awfully good excuse as to what possessed you to not tell me that the whole glee club is going AND as to why I should still go!"
I know I made it seem like Quinn has no backbone but, don't worry she will its just she goes soft with Quinn :) Ill try to update by end of next week but, I am going camping this weekend soooo it won't be over that :D Thanx for reading ^^
