Just something I felt like doing whilst rewriting In Another's Shoes, i don't know if I'll continue it. I've obviously changed the timeline because I wanted to.

20:30 Hello Quinn, this is Rachel. You gave me your number for club purposes and while this is not for that reason, I think that it is important that you respond. - *
20:35 Hey Rachel, you could have just said hi, you know? What is it you wanted? - Q
20:35 That's good to know, for future reference. How are you?
20:35 There's no need for pleasantries, Berry. I know what you want to ask.
20:37 I'm not trying to intrude on your personal life. I just wanted to make sure that you are dealing with everything okay.
20:38 Oh...well, I guess I'm as okay as I can be given the circumstances. Thank-you.
20:39 You're very welcome. I know that most people only enjoy the drama of the situation and don't stop to consider how you are feeling.
20:39 That's true. So, how are you?
20:40 I'm glad you're okay. I was worried about you after school on Friday and was struggling with whether I should contact you or not.
20:41 You didn't need to worry, I've dealt with much worse than this.
20:41 I know but you shouldn't have to.
20:41 Rachel, you shouldn't have to either.
20:42 What I've dealt with isn't close to what has happened to you.
20:44 No, it's worse because you had no control over it, I could've stopped what happened to me if I was smart enough at the time. People were and still are mean to you for no reason and through no fault of your own.
20:45 I take that back, the reason is that they know you're going to go somewhere and they can't deal with the fact that they aren't because they're not as talented as you. That's why I did it anyway.
20:47 Quinn...that's incredibly kind of you. I know for a fact that you can get out of here if you wish to. What happened and what you had to live through with your father wasn't your fault.
20:50 Most of it is. I know this and I'm to move on and get over it.
20:51 I'm glad. This conversation took a surprising turn.
20:52 I'm kind of intoxicated right now so if anyone hears about this, you won't live to see what happens, understand?
20:52 Got it.
20:53 I'll try and cool it with you at school because I understand how horrible I've been now.
20:54 I thought that we've been okay for awhile now but thank-you for doing that.
20:54 I know we've been civil but everyone else needs to stop.
20:55 Oh, I appreciate the gesture but you don't have to do that.
20:55 It's the least I can do. See you at school?
20:55 Thank-you? See you then.

Monday 3rd
10:18 Hey, I just wanted to say that I like your dress today. -*
12:45 Hey, urm...thanks, Berry. - Q
12:46 You're welcome. I'll see you in glee.

Sunday 9th
19:04 Hello, Quinn. How are you today? -*
19:14 I'm fine. How are you? - Q
19:14 Splendid.
19:15 Splendid? Stuck in the 50's?
19:16 I was under the impression that you liked the 50's.
19:18 Well...things can change.
19:19 Yeah, like your hair colour, not your life.
19:20 Quite the pessimist today, aren't you?
19:25 Berry?
19:38 Rachel?
19:49 What happened?
19:57 Are you okay?
20:14 Are you busy? Do you mind talking?
20:15 Are you kidding? This is the most exciting thing that's happened all day. Talk away.
20:17 I didn't get in.
20:17 What? where?
20:18 NYADA.
20:19 Oh my gosh, Rachel. How? They must have made a mistake. What happened?
20:19 I choked.
20:20 Oh...I can't believe this. Wait, how come you found out so early in the year?
20:21 I didn't get my letter but the audition was on Friday and well, I choked. There's no way I got in.
20:21 There must be something you can do, right?
20:22 She already gave me a second chance. They won't give me a third.
20:24 You're Rachel Berry. Make them.
20:25 I can't.
20:28 Hold on a second, who was your audition with?
20:28 Carmen Tibideaux. Why?
20:35 Quinn...What are you doing?
20:54 I called and they told me to send a video to her email, I'm going to send her your Get It Right performance, okay? It's kind of my favourite song that you've sung.
20:56 It's my favourite too, well apart from I Feel Pretty/Unpretty. It's a shame we didn't record it. Our harmony was amazing. Remind me why we haven't sang together again? I really meant what I was singing. Are you drunk again?
21:01 Nope, just being honest. Doesn't mean you can tell everyone though. It was kind of my idea anyway so I'm just giving myself credit. It was pretty good, huh? The opportunity didn't arise.
21:02 Oh, I'm sure that's it.
21:02 Yep.
21:03 I have to go, text me when she replies. I really appreciate you doing this for me.
21:04 No problem. Will do. Talk to you later.
21:05 Bye.
Wednesday 11th
18:43 Hey, she called and I spoke to her.
21:01 I can't believe I didn't see this did she say? What happened?
21:02 She's coming to Nationals to hear you sing again.
21:02 What? How did you do that?
21:03 I have a way with people. They tend to like me. I also dropped a few names, courtesy of my father.
21:03 You are quite charming when you need to be?
21:04 What ever do you mean, miss?
21:05 You know exactly what I mean. I can't thank you enough for this. How can I repay you? Do you like brownies? Oh! Bacon? You like bacon, right? Noah told me so.
21:08 You can't repay me in food. You don't have to do anything. And I was pregnant and hormonal; why is everyone holding this over me? I like bacon only as much as the next person. Unless that person is you because of your veganism and all.
21:10 I must do something to show you how grateful I am but I've decided that it's going to be a surprise. I'm glad your love of bacon is not as deep as I suspected as I wouldn't enjoy cooking it.
21:12 Surprise, really? You don't need to.
21:13 I want to.
21:14 Okay.
21:15 I also may have to hug you the next time I see you.
21:15 Okay.
21:18 School tomorrow, we better get some sleep.
21:19 Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow.
21:20 See you then.
...
Thursday 12th
12:30 I have to say, it would appear that you are avoiding my hugs. Where are you? -*
12:33 Yep, you caught me. I just can't deal with the hugs of a tiny.
12:33 I resent that.
12:34 Of course you do. If you wanted to know, I'm in the choir room, practising. If I was trying to avoid you, this wouldn't be the best place to do it.
12:35 You're right. Can I come and listen?
12:35 If you want to. B+S are here too.
12:36 Oh.
12:37 They won't say anything.
12:39 Okay, I'm almost there.
20:30 I'd like to say again how vastly you're improving.
20:56 That means a lot from you. Thank-you.
20:57 Have you been practising a lot?
20:58 For quite awhile, it helps me with my mood swings.
20:59 I noticed you're a lot calmer now.
21:01 Haha, you did?
21:02 Yeah and much less bite in your bark.
21:05 I'm trying.
21:07 I know I have no right to be but I'm proud of who you've become.
21:08 Thank-you but please stop with the compliments.
21:10 Okay, they're true though.
21:11 And you're actually more than bearable.
21:13 See, charming.
21:16 I aim to please.
