A/N: Quick first chapter just to get started on this story. Its my first time writing on here. Also my first Faberry so let me know what you think. :)

Disclaimer: I don't own anything. If I did then Quinn would've confessed her undying love a long time ago.

Chapter 1

Rachel sighed and blew at the unruly piece of hair in front of her eyes as she stared down at what was supposed to be dinner for her and Quinn. She lifted her eyes to the clock to check the time once more before deciding that she was going to have to just order take out if she wanted any chance of being ready by the time her friend made it in from New Haven.

"Looks like its Thai Palace once again" She muttered to herself as she sifted through the numerous take out menus Kurt had left scattered across the counter last night.

After quickly ordering their food and realizing she only had fifteen minutes before Quinn's bus should be arriving in the city, she scampered off to take a quick shower.

Twenty- five minutes later found Rachel pulling on a pair of jeans over her still wet body, trying to dry her hair, and making her way to the door to answer the knocking that was getting more incessant by the second. All at the same time.

"I am so so sorry" She apologized profusely as she quickly pulled the door open to reveal the blonde she had been waiting on all day.

"It's about time" Quinn stated with a little grin before opening her arms. Rachel shook her head and smiled back before stepping forward to give her a brief hug.

"Sorry again" She repeated as she stepped back and pulled the blonde into the apartment. "I was a little delayed when dinner didn't turn out as expected"

Quinn's eyes darted to the kitchen where she had motioned and widened comically at the sight.

"I can see that" She chuckled. "What exactly were you trying to make?"

Rachel huffed at the amused look her friend was giving her. "Never mind that. I ordered us pad thai. Is that okay?"

"I suppose we'll find out" She answered, taking the time to sit her bag down on the floor and throw her jacket over the back of the sofa. Rachel resisted her anal urge to grab the jacket and hang it up where it belonged. She was trying to lighten up after all.

"Never had pad thai?" She questioned as she turned and walked towards the kitchen. It needed to be cleaned after the mess she had made with dinner.

"Never had anything Thai before" Quinn chuckled, startling the brunette at how close she sounded. "We are from Lima in case you've forgotten Rach" She continued as she started cleaning up the counter.

"Stop that" She reprimanded, bumping her hip against Quinn's to push her out of the way. The blonde opened her mouth to protest but was quickly cut off. "You're my guest Quinn. I won't have you cleaning up my kitchen."

"That doesn't even.." Quinn was cut off by the sound of knocking at the door.

"Would you be a doll and get that? There's money on the table by the door" She rolled her eyes but agreed anyway.

"Stop cleaning for five minutes and come eat with me. Its been months since we've really talked." Quinn stated as she sat the bag of food down on the now clean counter and started pulling stuff out.

"We talk all the time Quinn" She supplied easily, dropping her cleaning rag in the sink as she made her way over to the blonde.

"Texting doesn't count Rachel" Quinn eyed her warily before sitting her food down in front of her. "I'm just saying. I wouldn't mind hearing your voice now and then." Rachel felt her stomach flutter at the quiet admission but she quickly shook the feeling away.

"This coming from the girl who has told me on more than one occasion to shut up because I talk too much. And furthermore.."

"Rachel. Shut up. You talk too much." Rachel huffed and shook her head at the grinning blonde.

"So tell me about Yale. Is it everything you hoped it would be?" The brunette questioned after a few minutes of comfortable silence.

"Its okay. I mean the classes are great and everything, and the campus is absolutely beautiful in the fall."

"But?" Rachel questioned, sensing that the blonde was leaving something out.

"But. I don't know, you know?" She gave the blonde a confused look that let her know that she in fact did not know. "I guess I just miss having all my friends around. I miss Brittany's crazy thoughts. I miss Sam's dumb impressions. I miss Santana's snarky comebacks. I miss you.."

Rachel paused mid chew and looked up at the blonde. She slowly swallowed and wiped at the corner of her mouth before responding. "I miss you too Quinn. You know that."

The blonde stared at her for a few seconds longer before breaking eye contact and shaking her head slightly.

"Enough about me. Tell me about living your dream here in New York."

"Technically I'm not quite living my dream yet. Unless my dream included breaking up with my boyfriend and being black listed by my dance teacher within the first couple of months." Rachel pushed her food around with her fork.

"Okay. Well I know what happened with Finn, and I mean, I hate to say I told you so.." Quinn quirked her eyebrow at the glare that was quickly directed at her. "Tell me about this teacher then."

Rachel sighed and dropped her fork. "Well she basically just hates me. Which isn't all that surprising considering that most people dislike me. But then she told me that I'm not sexy enough."

"First of all, you're completely wrong about most people disliking you. They don't dislike you. They're jealous of you" Rachel crossed her arms and gave her a disbelieving look. "And second. I'm 99.9% sure that your dance teacher must be blind"

"Don't be absurd Quinn. I know my personality can be a bit abrasive. And while I've never been uncomfortable with my body, I also know that people don't view me as particularly sexy."

"Who exactly are these "people"?" Quinn questioned, slipping her patented Fabray eyebrow into place. Rachel opened her mouth to respond when the door to the apartment slid open to reveal her drenched and shivering roommate.

"It is absolutely dreadful out there. My shoes will never recover." Kurt whined as he dropped his bag by the door and kicked his ruined shoes off. "I smell Thai food. Did you order from Thai Palace again?" He questioned as he stepped up beside the counter. His mouth snapped closed as he looked between the two girls sitting across from one another. "I feel like I've interrupted something.." Kurt trailed off just as the lights flickered a few times before the power finally went out.
