Disclaimer: I own nothing except my ideas.

Note: This will become AU; as of now, it takes place the summer before senior year/season 3, before Quinn dyed her hair pink and went crazy. These drabbles will be a connected story of what happened that summer to Quinn in Paris.

Dedicated without hesitation to Hope (AccioHope), because it's her birthday today. Happy birthday, Hope; I love you and thank you for converting me to this pairing! :D


Paris.

The city of love.

Funny, Quinn muses, stopping on the sidewalk and tilting her head to look up at the Eiffel Tower looming above her, because she doesn't at all feel very loving right now.

It's a beautiful sight, no doubt. With the sunset streaking the sky in shades of honey-gold and swirls of pink behind it, the Eiffel Tower rises from the ground, as majestically and magnificently as ever, and there are tourists lining the sidewalk with slack jaws at the beauty of the image.

Quinn doesn't care much for beauty anymore, though.

She turns, ready to walk back to the café her mother is waiting in. Instead of a quick walk down two blocks, she runs into someone – someone tall, strong, and decidedly male, judging from the body suddenly pressing hers against the sidewalk.

"Ow!" she grumbles, ready to lay into whoever dared run her over, when she looks up and finds herself staring into oddly familiar brown eyes. "Wh—what?" she asks, mystified at the appearance of someone who'd never really been a part of her life here in Paris. "You – you're – "

He scrambles up off her and offers her a hand up with a charming smile on his face that she knows better than to fall for. "Hello, Quinn. Fancy meeting you here."

Quinn slowly gets to her feet, staring with wide eyes at none other than Jesse St. James.


A/N: I should really stop making more drabble collections, huh? But I can't seem to write a proper, full-length fic thanks to NaNo, so here's my way of getting around that, by only writing short drabbles at a time :P I really hope you all enjoyed this, and if you did, please review! It would make my day!

And don't favorite/alert without reviewing, please and thank you.
