Rachel entered the apartment she shared with Quinn in New York earlier than usual. She finished up editing and instead of doing any extra work as she usually would; she left as soon as possible and headed home. She knew Sam was on his way over to take Quinn out to catch up after so many years, so she wanted to take advantage of a rarely empty apartment and some much needed alone time.
Once they had graduated, Quinn and Rachel had both made their way to New York. The two girls had acquired places at Julliard and NYU respectively, and after becoming somewhat friends by the end of school due to glee, had agreed to share an apartment. This was how they became the most unlikely of best friends. On top of this, Rachel's plans had changed from Broadway, during her college years she took acting classes, but gradually became a film major, finding she had more passion in the art. Rachel had decided her future lay in the film industry, and she soon found herself a small directing job once she finished college and moved her way up to take a job as an advertisement director in a mid-sized advertising agency, the same agency that also happened to have offered Quinn a job as their council representative.
Sam had moved to New York after finishing his accounting degree at OCU and got in touch with the girls, after realising he only knew two people in the entire city. He had asked Quinn on a date, in hopes of rekindling their flame. This was their first date and Rachel and Quinn had spent the entire night before squealing and jumping around their apartment like drunk idiots.
Rachel entered the apartment and threw her keys into the small empty fruit bowl that sat on the edge of the kitchen bench, before placing her bag on one of the bar stools, kicking of her shoes and reaching for the mail on the small round dining room table that sat in the open space between the kitchen bar and the living room. She stalked over to the large leather couch and flopped down before shuffling through the mail.
Nothing interesting arouse until Rachel eyed a small pink envelope with the words "To Rachel and Quinn" followed with their addressed elegantly printed in cursive writing. Rachel flipped it over skimming over the names on the back before tearing open the envelope.
'Brittany S. Pierce and Matthew Rutherford invite you to their engagement party"
Were the first words Rachel had read. She sensed tears prick at her eyes and she felt as if she may burst into tears and perform the happiest of happy dances. I have to call Quinn, she has to know, this is so exciting!
She jumped off the sofa and ran straight towards the kitchen, grabbing the phone off the hook on her way past to stick the invitation up on the fridge. She dialled the number quickly and it was answered on the 3rd ring.
"Rachel, what is it, is everything ok?" Quinn knew Rachel would only call on this (extremely important date) if she had something important.
"THEY'RE GETTING MARRIED, Q! MARRIED"
"Rachel, what? What's going on? Who's getting married?"
"BRITT AND MATT! O-M-G they're getting married and we're going to their engagement party in 3 weeks. It's in a really nice pub in Cincinnati"
"WHAT? I'm coming home now" Rachel heard small murmurs in the background "And I'm bringing Sam! See you soon"
Quinn hung up and Rachel smiled at the phone before going back to the couch to lie down and watch TV until Sam and Quinn got in.
