Note #1:

Personal note: I own nothing in the fanfiction, everything belongs to Glee. This is set in season one with my own little mix, Rachel wasn't that bad and early within the season, everyone was getting along. Also Sam and the newer additions of glee will be making an appearance later within the chapters. Stay tuned:

It was a bright shiny day for Rachel, the birds were chirping and there was something in the air, she just couldn't exactly identify what this feeling was.

She turned towards her mirror and felt pretty good towards herself, wearing simple black shorts and a long sweater with a kitten on top. ' This is probably the best I've dressed in a while '

Heading back to her clothes, she picked a couple of nice clothes to go out in and the rest was filled with workout clothes. Here she was, a couple of days away fromheading to New York, where she was destined to be. She absolutely couldn't wait.

Just then her daddy barged into her room with a face only Rachel and her father saw every holiday or special event. His sappy face.

"Rachel, it's almost your birthday, are you excited? " Daddy was always excited every year, as if Rachel was still 6.

"Daddy, I've told you countless times. I am too old to be having a ' birthday party ' I'm going to be 18 " Rachel said as she grabbed the rest of her clothes and finished packing.

" I know sweetie, I just cannot believe yourdad and me have seen you grow up into a respectable responsible lady. " Daddy said as he wiped away his fake tears from his eyes.

Her daddy was always dramatic, even for Rachel.

" Rachel I am serious, you better call us everyday okay? I don't want any excuses, your daddy and I are putting a lot of trust into you sweetie, please do not break it " Rachel's dad said.

She grabbed her bag off her bed and spun around dramatically

" Daddy and dad, I already told you, I will behave as you have raised me. I promise, I will not let you down " Rachel said as she hugged her fathers bye " I'll be back in 2 months when summer is over, alright? Now I must go, Finn is waiting down stairs
/with the rest

of glee "

Rachel walked down stairs to the two brand new SUVthat Santana'smom let them borrow.

" Come on rach, I don't wanna hit traffic. " Noahcomplained as he rev'd the engine.

Finn grabbed Rachel's bag and followed Rachel into car #2, sheturned around and notice; Quinn, Brittney, Santana & puck in the car.

Car #1 had; Artie, Tina, Mike & Mercedes, They also brought Noah's little brother jake. Most of everyone's stuff was in that car, as Santana put it " the mules car "

" Hey Rach! " Brittney basically screamed.

" Hello Brittney " Rachel said with a big smile ' that girl is always so bubbly ' Rachel thought to herself." Quinn, Santana " as she adjusted herself in the middle seat with Finn, unfortunately she could feel Quinn's stare at the back of

her head.

' Oh boy ' she thought ' It's gonna be a long ride '.

Six hours into the ride and Rachel was getting restless, her hand was cramping due to the fact that Finn always held her hand in awkward positions.

' Just three more hours and we'll be in our hotel room ' Rachel thought, trying to ease this car ride. She looked to her left and saw Finn was drooling in his sleep, basically dead to the world.

Santana and brittney was cuddling in the back, she could hear Santana snoring lightly, which she kinda had to giggle at.

She felt Quinn's breath on her shoulder.

" What you laughing about Rach? " Quinn said as she scooted forward as if Quinnand her were gonna have a conversation.

Rachel on the other hand, did not know what to say, she always thought Quinn hated her. She was not about to tell the ice queen that she was laughing at her second in command, that would be suicide!

" Cat got your tongue rach? " Quinn whispered, her hot breath on Rachel's neck, giving her goosebumps.

" I-I was laughing at a stupid joke I thought about a while ago " Rachel choked out, she hasn't stuttered since she was 7! But it seemed as if Quinn made her nervous, or even afraid.

" Don't lie rach, I always tease Santana about her snores, she always kept me up on nights we slept over. " Quinn stated as if Rachel was a long time friend and they were just catching up on small talk.

" I see " Rachel stated in a normal voice, she was afraid this was a set up.

" Rachel Berry, with nothing to say: now ain't that a surprise " Quinn stated with a big smile on her face. She leaned back and kicked back in silence for the rest of the ride.

' Wow, was Quinn Fabray actually trying to be friendly ' Rachel thought as she was stuck in her own mind, slowly nodding off into sleep a couple minutes later.
