A/N: Hey everyone, this is my first ever shot at writing so I'm pretty excited to know what you think. The story will probably be in 3 parts, but I'm not sure yet. Enjoy :)

Spice It Up

"Honey, I'm home" I sung out into the apartment.

The silence that followed assured my suspicions that Cory was sleeping. It was only 11 o'clock, but I knew that after his COD marathons with Mark, Cory was usually passed out cold.

"Video games require a lot of thinking and exhaust you Lee" Cory once told me as I laughed when I found him snoring on the couch.

Trying my hardest not to wake him up, I walked into the bedroom as quietly as I could and climbed into bed. As I snuggled into Cory's warm embrace I thought about my evening.

~LOVE~

"Hey munchkin" Amber greeted me as I walked towards our table.

It was Wednesday, so that meant girls night.

"I'm sorry I'm late" I replied as I gave her a hug.

"It's alright Lea, we know what was keeping you, or should I say who was keeping you" Dianna replied with a wink.

The blush that appeared on my face didn't escape them and they both burst out laughing. Trying not to laugh with them, I put on a straight face and attempted to change the topic of the conversation.

"So…what's everyone having?" I asked while glancing at the menu.

It was Dianna's turn to choose what we did, so the three of them had found themselves at Beachwood Café. As desperately as I wanted a conversation change, Amber was giving me this look letting me know that she wasn't letting the topic go, but fortunately for me Di stepped in to give me a hand.

"I'm gonna have the pasta, I've heard it's really good."

And that was the end of any conversation that may have involved Cory. During their time at the restaurant the three best friends talked about everything and eventually stumbled into a very interesting conversation.

"If you could meet your glee character, what would you say to her?" Dianna asked me all of the sudden.

Taken by surprise I thought for a moment and answered her.

"I'd go back to before Rachel had that atrocious party in Season 2 and tell her to take things into her own hands and be a stronger, more confident person."

"I'd loved to have seen that happen on the show" Amber added.

Yeah, me too, I thought to myself.

Before we knew it, it was time to go and we were all content with the way the evening had turned out.

"That was so much fun! I can't believe how quickly time flew by!" I exclaimed.

"I know!" Amber added. "Although I'm excited for next week, it's my turn to choose what we get to do!"

Dianna and I laughed at Amber's enthusiasm. It felt so good to have such an amazing relationship with my co-stars.

"We can't wait Amber" Di said as she moved in to hug us "and as much as I love you guys, I really have to get going"

Amber and I gave Di a knowing look and smiled when she started blushing. She wanted to go home to Mark just as much as I wanted to go to home Cory.

"Well, it is getting kind of late…" I said knowingly trying to help Dianna out.

"Alright, alright, I get it" Amber said still smiling "go back to your men."

We hugged once more and left our separate ways.

I smiled at the memory and drifted off into a beautiful sleep in Cory's arms.

~LOVE~

In my dream I was having an out-of-body experience. I was awake and roaming the halls of what looked like WMHS. As my vision cleared I was looking at myself! Trying to remain calm, I remembered where I was and came to the conclusion that I was actually looking at the one and only Rachel Berry. I observed her and saw her staring at Cory; I mean Finn Hudson and confirmed my thoughts by seeing him in a letterman jacket and her in a classic animal sweater. Judging by the longing looks Rachel was giving him, this was after Finchel had broken up once again after the cheating fiasco.

Confused out of my mind, I tried waking up by pinching myself, but nothing I tried worked. Then, all of the sudden my feet started moving towards Rachel all on their own. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't stop walking and soon found myself in Rachel. One minute I was observing her, and the next minute I was staring at Finn through her eyes. As soon as my brain caught up to what was happening, I smiled and thought about how I could use this crazy experience to my advantage. I was talking to Amber and Di earlier about what I would say to a younger Rachel and here was my chance. Instead of just giving Rachel advice, I could do one better and live for her.

I'd always wanted to write the script for an episode of the show, and here was my shot. Lea Michele, I mean Rachel Berry was taking things into her own hands. As fun as it is playing such an innocent character, I wanted to spice things up a bit. I mean it is a dream after all.

I smirked to myself and got ready to make the most out of this experience of a lifetime.

A/N: Looks like Lea's gonna shake things up a bit... I'll update as soon as I can. Some feedback would be amazing!
