Brittany did not have any classes with Rachel that day so she had to wait until Glee Club practice after school to begin her seduction. Brittany entered the choir room to find that everyone else in the club had already arrived and they were all sitting on the risers except for Rachel who stood by the piano. Santana and Finn were sitting with one chair between them and Brittany dropped herself down in it.

"So, what are you going to do Britt?"

Brittany patted Finn on the head. "Watch and learn my young padovan."

At Finn's look of confusion Santana rolled her eyes and added. "She meant Padawan."

Brittany bounced up from her seat and skipped over to Rachel's position by the piano. "Hey Rach!"

Rachel was slightly puzzled by Brittany's sudden over familiarity but bounced back quickly, a useful skill she had cultivated to use in her future career. "Hello Brittany, how are you today?"

"I've just been thinking. You have really nice thighs Rachel. I can just imagine how good they'd feel wrapped round my waist during a dance routine. Your short skirts show them off really well. Even if I do want to rip them off for being so ugly." Brittany then leaned in close to Rachel's ear and added. "And maybe for other reasons too."

Rachel blushed bright scarlet at Brittany's insinuation. "Thank you for the compliment Brittany although I don't think Santana would appreciate your words as much as I do."

Brittany waved away Rachel's objections. "Oh San doesn't mind as long as she either gets to watch or I tell her all about it later on while we're doing it."

Rachel could feel her jaw drop and was honestly speechless for the first time in her life; no words would come to her, none at all.

Brittany patted Rachel on her shoulder and leaned in close one final time to whisper. "Something to think about." Then she threw Rachel a sly wink and skipped back to her place on the risers between Santana and Finn. "And that's how it's done."

Santana gave Brittany a little round of applause while Finn kept an eye on Quinn out of the corner of his eye, the blonde cheerleader seemed to all outside appearances to be heavily concentrating on her conversation with Mercedes however Finn could tell that she was curious as to what Brittany had said to bamboozle Rachel so.

Brittany had left Rachel all hot and bothered and she knew that she needed to do something about it. She cleared her throat and addressed the room. "Quinn, I think you could do with some extra practice for your upcoming solo so after rehearsal I would like to see you in the auditorium."

Quinn rolled her eyes, though inside she knew that look Rachel was wearing and internally started to perform her 'I'm going to get some' dance. "Fine, Berry. But if I have to hear you complaining that I go sharp all the time, I swear to God I will get the hockey team to run you up the flagpole."

Santana saw through their obvious ruse and nudged Brittany to indicate that she was about to enter the fray with the perfect opportunity to twatswat Quinn. "Hey dwarf, could you maybe give me some pointers too?" Santana then winced internally as she saw the blossoming joy on Rachel's face; she had not thought this through.

Rachel beamed at Santana. "I am pleased that you are finally interested in taking me up on my standing offer to help work on your vocals Santana. While you played a part in our tied win at Sectionals I firmly believe that with my vocal coaching you could have helped us eek out a clear win."

Mr Schue chose that moment to enter the choir room. "Sorry I'm late guys, Coach Sylvester and I were talking and I was struck with inspiration for this week's assignment."

"It was not a problem Mr Schue, I was simply arranging extra vocal practice with Santana and Quinn so that they can perform any future solos they may receive to the best of their ability."

Quinn's expression darkened as she realised that Rachel was now genuinely going to practice vocals with her and Santana and that her girlfriend had forgotten all about their actual plans for the afternoon.

"I'm glad to see you displaying more team spirit Rachel." Mr Schue clapped his hands together. "So, this week's assignment: psychobilly."

Quinn was in an even worse mood the following day, after spending two arduous hours receiving vocal coaching from her secret girlfriend alongside Santana when she could have been putting Rachel's voice to much better use screaming her name, Santana and Brittany had somehow managed to invite themselves over to her house to study which meant that she didn't get to spend any alone time with Rachel at all.

Quinn scanned the halls for Rachel before first period hoping to steal a little macking time with her baby. She found Rachel at her locker but she wasn't alone, leaning against the locker next to Rachel's was Brittany and she was trailing her hand lazily up and down Rachel's arm.

Quinn took a deep breath and fought down the urge to body slam one of her best friends to the ground. She really needed to talk to Rachel about maybe letting the Glee Club know about their relationship. She knew that it had initially been her idea to keep their burgeoning relationship a secret but they had now been together for several months and she now felt pretty comfortable that they were not going to screw this up. Besides, Finn had now known for a few weeks and she was reasonably confident he would let it slip sooner or later.

Brittany giving Rachel a wink and a slap on the ass before skipping off down the hallway shook Quinn out of her thoughts. Quinn strode over to Rachel's locker and slammed the door closed and greeted her girlfriend in a soft tone. "Hey babe. What did Brittany want?"

Rachel looked up at her girlfriend and valiantly fought to keep the smile from her face, as she knew some of her fellow students were watching and she needed to make it look like they were having one of their weekly confrontations over boy problems. "She told me that she no longer found recipes confusing and would be willing to cook for me if I brought dessert." Rachel frowned as she thought back over the conversation. "You know it's strange but I'm reasonably certain that's the second time Brittany has flirted with me."

Quinn almost growled in jealousy. "When was the first time?"

"Yesterday in Glee. She admired my thighs and said something about how she had thought about them wrapped around her body during a dance routine. Although I'm not sure that is the situation she was actually considering."

That time Quinn really did growl. "She best keep her hands to herself if she knows what is good for her."

Rachel looked around the hallway to check if anyone was still watching them but apparently Coach Sylvester verbally eviscerating Mr Schuester had distracted the masses. So Rachel reached out and patted Quinn on the shoulder. "Relax, Brittany has never shown any interest in me before yesterday I'm sure it's a phase and she'll be focused back on Santana in no time."

Quinn felt like a bolt of lightning had just hit her. "They know!"

Rachel's forehead creased in confusion. "About us?"

"Come on Rach, that's the only explanation for Brittany suddenly flirting with you and Santana deciding she needs help with her vocals when we're planning on having alone time."

Rachel's eyes narrowed. "Oh really, there's no other explanation for Brittany finding me attractive?"

Quinn's eyes widened as she suddenly realised that she had walked into a trap. "That's not what I meant baby." She quickly scrambled for an explanation. "It's just that Brittany has always thought of you as a badly dressed teddy bear. One she doesn't have sexual feelings for."

Rachel looked at Quinn wryly. "Well, I can never hear that enough."

Quinn knew she had managed to side step one crisis but that she was on thin ice so she did the best possible thing with regards to the situation: shift the blame to someone else. "C'mon we need to find Finn and find out why he blabbed."
