Summary: Several years after high school, Quinn lives in New York, is an art gallery receptionist, and a taxi driver at night. One night she picks up an old friend.


New York was actually quite serene at night. At least that's what Quinn thought while she drove her cab waiting to pick up someone who needed a ride. It had been six years since graduation and leaving good old Lima, Ohio behind. She finished art school and was working at a gallery during the day, but she still needed a little more to make ends-meat. In fact it was Berry who suggested Quinn do some taxi driving. Yes. That Rachel Berry. The Rachel Berry from McKinley High. Both were going to New York for school so they kept in touch. Anyways, Berry was also a part-time driver. Mostly she would go to auditions then wait in the garage hoping to get a call back or even a decent hello from her manager. Sometimes Quinn and Berry would wait together for their shift and play cards or eat at the local bar next door called Mario's.

The garage seemed like a nice little hangout for the drivers and the mechanics, and it was reminiscent of their hanging out at Burt's shop when they were in glee club. Sometimes Quinn would daydream and pretend the whole club worked there and fit the parts of the show Taxi – Finn would be the misunderstood mechanic, Puck would be the hopeful boxer, and Brittany would be like Reverend Jim. But it was just Berry and Quinn. And Quinn liked leaving the past behind her. But tonight it just didn't want to let her be.

She pulled her taxi to the side when she noticed a woman flagging her down. The lady got in and gave Quinn the directions to her flat. As Quinn pulled out into the light traffic she heard the lady smirk, albeit a familiar smirk. All of the sudden the lady starting singing Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" and something clicked in Quinn and she helped finish the verse "hold onto that feeling..."

"Quinn is that you? It's me Santana!"
