Author Note: For the sake of my story, Vegan Ben and Jerry's exists.
It started with ice cream.
Quinn and Rachel had never particularly been friends, they had a dreadful history together but they'd moved on from it and become decent acquaintances, it created a certain sense of peace for the other Glee members.
Slushies and taunts were no longer tossed but the girls rarely conversed unless they had to.
That was until they found they could help each other.
Finn had continued to repeatedly hurt the two girls flitting back and forth between them until they'd finally seen sense and put a stop to it. Now school was letting out for the summer and both girls wanted nothing more than to take their minds off of boy drama.
"Don't worry, I'll be sure that unfortunate idiot brother of mine doesn't bother either of you" Kurt told them sweetly as he patted them both on the shoulder on his way out.
The girls smiled to each other shyly before continuing to pack away their belongings.
"Party at my house tonight" Puck announced, "fellow Jew, baby mama, are you in?"
"I'm not in the mood" Quinn sighed, "and please stop calling me baby mama"
"Sorry Noah, I have a date" Rachel said as she shrugged her bag on to her shoulder.
Quinn raised an eyebrow, Rachel was dating again already? Maybe she wasn't as heartbroken as she'd let on, the girl was an actress after all..
"Forgive me for prying but, you have a date so soon after..that man child?" the blonde asked in surprise, Rachel took a look around before leaning in closer to talk more quietly.
"Only with two men called Ben and Jerry, they know the true way to my heart is really through a guilty pleasure frozen dessert"
Quinn chuckled. "Clearly I should've gone to the store for a fix instead of spending those weeks locked in my room listening to Alanis Morrisette"
Rachel smiled shyly again.
"Well, I mean, if you don't have plans tonight you're welcome to stop by my house. I'm sure my dad's would take great delight in seeing the two of us getting over that ignoramus and maybe finally becoming friends"
Quinn paused thoughtfully. Rachel Berry was offering her friendship yet again despite their past history; she finally decided that it was time to completely move on from the old her and focus on making amends with a girl she'd so often bullied mercilessly and taken for granted.
The blonde had drifted off and Rachel paused waiting for her to rejoin her.
"Sorry, I zoned out" Quinn laughed nervously, "ice cream sounds great"
Rachel practically beamed.
"Also maybe we could watch a movie? We have a big collection at Chez-Berry and ooh I'm sure my dad's wouldn't mind you coming for dinner if you'd be interested in that? My non Jewish daddy has recently become inundated with making dishes with Bacon in it, and though my dad and I are both Jewish and Vegan I have to admit it smells great and I remember you repeatedly saying that you craved-"
Quinn held up a hand, amusedly, to stop the babbling girl in front of her.
"Rachel, you had me at ice cream. But dinner and movies sounds fun, it's been a while since I had a girl's night"
Rachel furrowed her brows, "don't you spend time with Brittany and Santana anymore?"
"Since they became a real couple things have been more..complicated" she chuckled, "they have a tendency to forget I'm there sometimes so I figured I'd leave them to it"
The brunette's mouth opened slightly.
"You mean they- Really? While you're there? Oh my"
Quinn rolled her eyes; she was used to Santana and Brittany's wild ways.
"So you're sure your dad's wont mind?" she asked as they exited the choir room and started to make their way down the corridor past their lockers.
"I'm positive, Quinn. I'm just glad we're finally getting along, I was starting to think we were never going to work out our differences"
The blonde sighed and ran a hand over her face nervously before gently holding the smaller girl's wrist to get her attention.
"I just want you to know how sorry I am for everything, if I could take it all back I would. I never wanted to become who I was, Rachel, and-" she paused not wanting to say too much at once, "I'm just really sorry and I hope we're starting over?"
Rachel smiled and nodded.
"Of course. And you're not the only one that needs to apologise, I was petty and out of line when I got in between you and the boys, I never wanted you to end up hurting I was just so-
Quinn shook her head, not wanting to rehash up all the past.
"Water under the bridge, Rachel, and hey I think at least we've both learnt that no guy that's truly worth it will hurt us so bad"
"I couldn't agree more" she smiled.
"And another thing we've learned, don't drink wine coolers when you're around one Noah Puckerman"
Both girls chuckled as they reached the parking lot.
"So" Quinn said as she paused in front of her car, "what time should I come over?"
"Is about six thirty okay?"
Quinn smiled, "sounds great, it means that I have time to convince my mother that I'm not up to no good"
Rachel looked to her curiously.
"It seems Judy Fabray doesn't see how traumatizing one pregnancy was for her daughter" the blonde said rolling her eyes.
The brunette bit her lip, "that hardly seems fair, we all make mistakes"
"Try telling her that"
"Well if it's going to cause' an issue at all then my dad's will gladly speak to your mother to clear up any worries that she might have, if you need to just call"
Quinn chuckled, "I'd do that if I actually had your phone number, Rachel"
She took out her phone and handed it to the other girl.
"Here, put it in just in case"
Rachel accepted the phone and started punching in the numbers.
"Would you like me to save it under Berry?" she drawled sassily causing Quinn to quirk an eyebrow, both impressed and amused.
"I deserved that" she agreed, "Rachel will do fine but please don't feel it necessary to add the Barbra Berry too"
The diva chuckled before handing the phone back.
"I put a star next to it, just in case there's another Rachel you could confuse me with" she explained as she started walking towards her own car.
Quinn looked at the phone and saw that she really had, she shook her head rolling her eyes.
She jumped into the driver's seat and plugged in her iPod for the drive home, I Feel Fine by The Beatles started playing and she smiled to herself.
She drove out of the parking lot tapping her fingers on the steering wheel in time with the song.
Quinn Fabray would begin to heal, and earn herself a new friend in the process.
