Chapter One;;
The Day of the FlashFoward
Soft hands ran through Rachel's hair. Rachel let out a sigh as she pressed her lips to another girl's shoulder. "I love you." She whispered, her voice low.
"I love you too." The girl said softly, her voice raspy and deep.
Rachel looked up at the girl-Quinn Fabrey-and smiled. "I can't believe that we actually got here."
Quinn nodded her head in agreement before kissing Rachel. Rachel closed her eyes and felt the kiss ring throughout her entire body. Quinn broke Rachel's lips apart and kissed her deeply, leaving Rachel feeling dazed and hopelessly in love with this girl.
Quinn broke apart from Rachel and smiled. "This is the most perfect day of my life."
Rachel nodded her head and smiled back at Quinn. "Yeah, the same for me Quinn."
Rachel opened her eyes, the harsh florescent lights of the classroom blinding her. She looked up from her desk-the odd dream still playing in her mind-and looked at her classmates.
Some were on the floor, some still had their heads on their desk and others were already on their phones to friends and family. Rachel took her phone out of her pocket and considered for a moment about calling her Dads, but then thought better of it. They were probably busy trying to figure this whole thing out.
"Okay students, please remain calm." Mrs. Applebaum said, now standing in front of the class. Minutes ago she had been lecturing and then it all went away and that dream started.
Rachel closed her eyes as she tried to remember more about the dream-whatever it was. Why did she pass out and have some weird dream about the popular Cheerio Quinn? Rachel had never even said two words to Quinn in her life and in the dream…well, they were a little bit closer than that.
Rachel wasn't even gay. Was she?
Rachel shook her head. No of course not. She wasn't gay. It was just some weird dream.
"Did everyone else have a dream?" Rachel turned around to see who said that, Finn.
Rachel nodded her head. "Yeah. I did." She blushed when she realized that Finn might ask her to elaborate on the dream.
"That's weird. We were just fine and then….I had a dream. But it was weird."
Rachel nodded her head. At least she wasn't the only one. "Me too."
"Let's just remain calm. I am going to go to the office to see what is happening. Please, stay in here." Mrs. Applebaum left the classroom after giving a warning stare.
"Mine was in the future!"
Rachel turned to the other side of the classroom to look at the girl who had said that. "What?" Rachel asked. Was hers in the future too?
"How do you know?" Finn asked.
"I saw a newspaper. It was dated six months from today."
Rachel shook her head, trying to remember her dream. Was it the future? Is that make out session actually going to happen with Quinn?
"What happened in yours Rachel?" Finn asked.
Rachel shrugged her shoulders. There was no way that she was actually going to tell anyone. "Nothing important. What about you?"
Finn's face darkened. "My best friend, Puck, told me that he saw my girlfriend with someone else. I woke up before he told me who."
Rachel felt her stomach drop. That sounded like her dream. Except for the fact that she was the other person with Quinn. "Oh."
Quinn Fabray pushed herself off of the slick grass, her head in a daze. What just happened? Quinn looked over at all of the other Cheerios, who were still getting off the ground.
Santana saw Quinn, wiping her skirt off, and came running over. "Quinn! Are you okay?"
Quinn nodded. "Yeah, I think so. What was that?"
Santana shrugged. "I don't know."
"I…" Quinn was about to say something about the dream or vision that she had. Whatever it was, but stopped herself. How was she going to explain seeing herself making out with a girl? With Rachel Berry of all girls?
"What?"
"I just had this dream or vision or something."
"Me too."
Quinn arched an eyebrow. Did everyone have some sort of dream? "Really?"
"Yeah…" Santana looked over at the rest of the Cheerios. "We should go see if everyone else is okay. Where's Brittany?" Santana asked before running over to the group of Cheerios.
Quinn looked up in the bleachers and saw Ms. Sylvestor running her hands through her hair, looking stressed. Not that Quinn could blame her.
What happened? Did it happen to everyone?
One day later all of Lima, Ohio was in a quiet frenzy. They were calling it FlashForwards. Everyone in the world dropped for two minutes and fifteen seconds. They all had a glimpse of the future in that time.
The future.
Rachel shook her head as she took her seat in Glee club. There was no way that was going to be her future. She was going to end up like that? With Quinn of all people? It didn't seem likely.
But then again, a lot of people were having weird futures they couldn't believe.
"Hey Rach, did you log it onto the Mosaic?"
Rachel turned around to face Kurt Hummel, dressed as always in a fashionable sweater and scarf. "What?"
"The Mosaic." Kurt said like Rachel should have known. "It's the website the government set up to track the FlashFowards. I put mine in last night."
"Yeah, I did it this morning. I even read some of them. Some are creepy and others are insane." Tina pipped in.
"I put mine in the day they launched the site. It's pretty awesome." Artie added.
Rachel shook her head. She was not sure she was going to tell anyone what happened in hers. She could hardly believe it herself. "No. I didn't put mine up."
"You totally should." Kurt said, propping his hands on his knee.
Just then Mr. Shue walked into the classroom, a grin on his face. "Okay everyone, we have new people joining Glee! Let's get them a warm welcome."
Rachel sucked in her breath as Quinn, Santana and Rachel walked through the door. No way.
Glee was the one place that Rachel thought she would be safe from any contact with Quinn. Obviously she was wrong.
Rachel felt her eyes grow wide and she swallowed down a growing lump in her throat.
This was going to be interesting.
Oh shit.
Quinn didn't even think about Rachel being in Glee. But of course she was in Glee Rachel Berry practically made Glee.
How did she forget?
"I hear that everyone's FlashFoward is going to come true." Santana mumbled to Brittany as the trio stood in front of the Glee club.
Quinn shook her head and then looked over her shoulder at the other Cheerios. "I wish everyone would stop talking about those damn things." She said sharply.
Santana just rolled her eyes, took Brittany's hand and led them towards the seats.
"Quinn! Baby." Finn walked towards Quinn, that stupid smile on his face. Quinn hated that smile. "You joined."
"Yeah. I figured it would be fun to do something together."
Quinn forced a smile as Finn hugged her. He wrapped his arms tightly around her thin frame and whispered that he loved her in her ear.
Quinn caught Rachel's eye and she gave her a scowl. She really had no idea how the hell she was going to deal with all of this.
