Prologue
Please note that this story is not based on the episodes and it is purely on my imagination. In this story Quinn and Rachel meet over the summer. This is the prologue so you can get the gist of it. Enjoy.
She has never seen so beautiful and pure. That blonde hair and hazel eyes drove her insane. Rachel knew this girl was different even though they had just met. One of Rachel's favorite things to do before bed is to replay that memory in her head.
Rachel was with her dad, Leroy at the Lima Bean. They had just finished their trip to Between the Sheets; Rachel was working on new songs for her own entertainment. Her dad was at the cashier ordering their drinks while Rachel walked quickly to a table because the shop was getting crowded. She found a table at the far end of the shop, but her father was still in plain sight. She sat down and began looking at the music books; she could practically hear the songs playing in her head. She looks up to see if her dad had gotten their drinks, but instead she saw a flash of blonde and was astounded. That's when she saw her, the amazing blonde that would change her life forever.
The blonde was looking up at the menu as if it was foreign but soon found something that was very familiar. She turned to a blonde behind her, she was dressed very sophisticated. The woman handed the blonde the money to pay to the cashier. That's when she saw the blonde smile, what a beautiful sight, Rachel thought quietly to herself. The blonde began to walk away from the cashier and looked as if she was looking for a table but could find none. Rachel looked around and saw she had two extra seats. This is it, my chance to finally meet her, Rachel thought. Rachel got up, composed herself and smiled her great Rachel Berry smile and walked straight up to them.
"Hello, I'm Rachel Berry" she said extending her hand as they each took it "I couldn't help but notice that you two are looking for a place to sit. I also couldn't help but notice that I've never seen you here before, and I know everybody" she finished. The two blondes looked rather surprised so Rachel got quickly to the point. "I'm here with my dad, it's just us two and we're sitting at a table with four seats. I highly encourage you two to join us"
The two blondes smiled, the older looking one responded with a smile like she was amused "Well, Hello Rachel Berry. I'm Judy Fabray and this is my daughter Quinn" Rachel looked at Quinn and replayed that name in her head as if it was the most beautiful sound she has ever heard. Judy continued, "We are new to this town and would love to meet new people, thank you" both blondes smiled and followed Rachel to the table. Rachel could not stop smiling and Quinn eyes her and thought 'there is something strange about this girl. I need to figure her out' Rachel and Quinn made eye contact and felt a spark. Both girls were so lost in each others eyes they could not hear Rachel's dad calling her name.
"RACHEL!" Leroy yelled.
"Y..y..yes daddy" Rachel stammered, breaking eye contact.
Leroy handed her her drink and smiled at the two blonde strangers, "Dad, this is Quinn and Judy, they are new in town and I assumed they needed friends. Don't you think?" Rachel said quickly to avoid the awkward stare down that was to take place.
"Yes Rachel I agree" he put his hand out. "Hi, I'm Leroy. Rachel's father"
Judy took his hand and so did Quinn but she giggled at his introduction 'Thanks sherlock, I knew you were her father'
"Judy!" a worker yelled.
"That must be our drinks, please excuse me" Judy said as she shuffled to the front.
"So, Quinn are you attending high school in the fall?" Leroy asked to avoid silence.
Quinn nodded "Yes I'm attending Mckinley High. I'm hoping to be a cheerio" she said with a big smile.
'This is great! We're going to the same high school. She's the definition of beauty. Wait... is that a cross necklace' Rachel thought to herself eyeing Quinn's chest.
"Hey Quinn 'God she loved the sound of her name' I see you necklace there, what religion do you practice? If you don't mind me asking." Rachel added so she wouldn't seem so creepy. Quinn looked down at her necklace and held the cross pendant in her hand.
"I'm Christian. This was a gift from my father" she said with pride. "Do you practice a religion?"
"We're Jewish" Leroy said with a smile.
For the next seconds, which felt like hours to the girls they made intense eye contact. Neither spoke a word, they were too lost in their heads.
Quinn pictured herself holding Rachel and making her laugh and kissing her nose and cheek and li... she quickly shook off those thoughts feeling ashamed. But she never once broke the eye contact.
Rachel was picturing her and Rachel in her room sitting by her bed interlocking their lips to feel what they've been missing. That kiss expressed so much that neither girl could handle. She pictured Quinn's hand on her cheek and the other rapped around her holding her closer. Rachel blushed at her thoughts.
"Well, Rachel- Leroy" Judy said eyeing both of them. 'When did she get here?' Rachel thought. "It was nice meeting you both but we have got to get going. C'mon Quinnie! Hope to see you soon" Judy said with a friendly smile.
Leroy returned the smile, Rachel was smiling but at Quinn. Neither girl broke eye contact even when they waved slightly. Finally, Quinn left the coffee shop.
"Wow, she's beautiful" Rachel thought out loud. Leroy smiled knowing his daughters secret but never daring to bring it up.
This was Rachel's favorite day. She replayed it in her head thousands of times. Even when Quinn was being an outright bitch to her.
The next morning Rachel was back at school just walking down the hall watching Quinn in her Cheerios uniform. SPPPPLLLLLAAAAASSSSSHHHHHHHHH! Rachel in less than 2 seconds was covered in slushy. Everyone laughed... including Quinn. This was heartbreaking for her because she was in love this girl, she ran to the bathroom cleaned herself and cried remembering all of the great memories they had together. Rachel knowing that what they had was real, thought Quinn would come to her senses and realize it was real too. She can only dream right?
