Right here's a little one shot. Hope you like it because I'm using it as a motivational exercise to get myself out of a writing funk.

I do not own Glee but merely borrow some of its characters and scenarios and have fun with them.

I hope you enjoy what I've done.

This is set post Quinn's accident and Finn and Rachel have split up because Rachel came to her senses (come on that's inevitable anyway).

Quinn and Santana are at Yale and Rachel and Brittany are at NYADA and Julliard respectively.

The Ruse

"Awe c'mon Rach" begged Quinn.

Yes the once all powerful Quinn Fabray was not averse to a spot of begging when it came to getting what she wanted.

"It'll be fun to have a night out all four of us. And you are one of my best friends so you are the only one I can ask to 'play' my girlfriend"

Quinn continued "You said you'd support my transition from closet to rainbow coloured, Mellissa etheridge sounding goodness"

Rachel sighed down the phone at her newly forged best friends words.

Quinn knew she had her. Time to seal the deal.

"It'll be you, me, Santana and Brittany with some beers and a dance floor. You just have to hold my hand and dance with me a bit. Just so I don't feel like a deer in headlights. And yes Rach, there are other girls I could've asked to be my girl for the night but frankly I need someone of my caliber looks wise, intelligence wise and ambition wise. You fit the mould perfectly"

"Whaaa…..Quinn you think I'm in the same looks league as you?"

Rachel Berry could not believe her ears. The very beautiful, sexy Quinn Fabray was calling her beautiful back.

She knew she was being manipulated but deep deep down Rachel knew that the idea of spending the evening draped around Quinn, smelling her smell, hearing the husk in her voice close to her ear and dancing body on body was the most attractive proposition she had had in…well ever.

"Yes Rachel Barbara Berry. I find you to be one of the most beautiful women I have ever met. And I would be ridiculously honoured if you would accompany me as my 'fake date' to a disreputable girl bar so I can 'get my feet wet' as Santana would say"

Quinn smirked at the feet wet part because that wasn't exactly what Santana had said.

"I do not believe for one second the phrase was feet wet. This is the Santana that says stuff like 'needs me some brittana naked rubbing time'"

Rachel replied giggling to herself. But inwardly digesting Quinn's words.

When did this girl get so sweet with her words? Yeah she had changed even before the accident but just recently it felt as if Quinn was making major breakthroughs in her quest to prove how much she had changed to Rachel, the girl she and the rest of the cheerios had teased and bullied mercilessly in High School. Yes she would help this amazing, beautiful, loving creature through her transition in anyway she could and maybe have some fun in the process.

"Ok Quinny. I'll do it. Text me the details and I'll see if Kurt's ok with you borrowing his room for the weekend"

Rachel relented, knowing full well Kurt would be happy with the very clean and neat Quinn and also because since Rachel has been developing these feelings towards her blonde ex-cheerleader friend Kurt has been her sounding board. He will so want all the gossip about this particular outing.

"Quinny? We trying out pet names already Rach?"

"Yes I thought it would suit you with your new found sweetness Quinny"

Rachel giggled and Quinn rejoiced at the sound of it.

"Ok Rach I'll let you get back to rehearsals. Say hi to Kurt n Brits for me and I'll be seeing you on Friday night…..oh and Rach…I'm really looking forward to...uhm...seeing you"

Rachel audibly shivered at the husky whisper of Quinn's admission causing a blush to place itself firmly on both girls' cheeks.

"Me too Quinny. Roll on Friday"

Rachel whispered in return.

"Til Friday Mon aime"

Quinn hung up and immediately found Santana's number in her cell and dialed it quickly while she paced around her apartment.

"Wassup Bitch"

"What a novel way to answer your phone future District Attorney Santana Lopez"

The best friends laughed down the phone to one another, enjoying the easiness of their relationship with one another.

"Well did it work Q? Is operation 'Get into Rachel Berry's Pants' a go go go?"

Santana guffawed at her own joke causing Quinn to laugh in response. Laughing even more when the young Latina woman began to hiccup.

"I don't believe that was the name I settled on Lopez. I do believe I preferred 'Get Rachel to Fall in Love with Me' and yes it is happening. I'm spending the weekend at Rachel's and all four of us are going out on Saturday night to that bar you and Brits were talking about last time she came to New Haven"

"Wow! You finally found the balls Fabray. I'm proud of you. So are you gonna let me in on the plans for seduction or are you just gonna wing it"

"Yeah I think I'm gonna keep my cards close to my chest that way it all looks innocent and you and Brit aren't totally complicit but thanks for all your support and appreciating what Rachel means to me"

"Yeah yeah whatevs Q. I just can't stand to see your hangdog expression a minute longer. Speaking of which I'm in the library and getting copyright law brain death so do u wanna grab a burger at Larry's? I'll get him to put bacon on it for you"

Santana added knowing the bacon would get her friends attention.

"Yeah S that sounds good. Meet you outside Larry's in twenty ok?

"Will do lesbiquinn. I needs to get my eats on"

Just as Quinn was about to respond to the second new name she had received of the day, Santana hung up.

"Bitch!"

Quinn exclaimed. Grabbing her bag off the hook by the door she did a quick mental inventory. Purse, keys and phone. Taking out her purse she examined the contents surprised and pleased she had the funds for the bacon burger outing she ran her thumb across the picture of her and Rachel hugging each other after winning Nationals. I will do everything I can to show you how much I love you Rachel, she thought as she placed the purse back in her bag, grabbed her coat at headed out the door her tummy grumbling all the way.
