Chapter Two
"Alright guys its been a week what do we got," Mr. Schue asks walking into the choir room.
"Lauren, and I have kinda put a Kesha, Gaga, with a hint of J-Lo up beat song together; as for our ballad…we have Beyonce mixed with some Selena Gomez."
"Wow that sounds great, but I'm pretty sure that Santana is in your group as well." He looks over to see Santana sitting next to Brittany with her legs over hers and playing with her hair. "Santana…I know that you and Brittany are dating now, but you are partnered with Tina and Lauren."
"I understand that fully Mr. Schue, but you see I figured that the best way to help the group is to not to help the group. You see if I was to participate in this little experiment you have going on…I'm bound to go all Lima Heights over Lauren and say something about Tina's eyes in a heat of anger."
"So why don't you just bite your tongue."
"Why would you say that she has a nice tongue," Brittany adds rubbing the blushing Latina's face.
"Santana move your seat lets go."
"Well me and Mike have mixed David Guetta and T-Pain for our up-beat song, and…well we haven't exactly had an idea for a ballad."
"That's fine Finn that's a great start; what about you two?" He looks at Kurt and Puck who are writing.
"We ain't telling…that'll give away our amazing songs which is gonna totally blow all of your ideas out of the water," Puck answers returning to his bad boy attitude.
"Well Britt and I have some idols helping us out with Aretha and Brittany for our up-beat songs." Mercedes states hi-fiving the dorky blonde.
"Well everyone seems to be doing up-beat songs first so I guess that leaves Quinn and Rachel…"
"Quinn and I have decided to put my taste in Broadway and her taste in music together so it's going to be a mixture of Barbara and Adele."
"That sounds like it's going to be a great ballad you two."
"Oh no that's for our up-beat song."
"Oh…well it'll be different and that's exactly what we are going for; all of your ideas seem amazing so go continue on with that." He goes into his office and everyone scatters.
"Santana as much as I hate to say this you need to come with us," Tina exhales deeply.
"You ladies are doing a great job by yourself so why do you need me?"
"Because no one can put words together quite like you."
"True..ight I'll help but I can't stay long; Brittany has an appointment at the vet for her cat.
"I caught Lord Tubbington smoking and he choked on the cigarette so I have to take him for a check-up."
"What?" Mercedes asks shaking her head as everyone else looks at her in shock.
"I told him that he shouldn't have started up again, but he doesn't listen and talks back all the time."
"See so I can't stay long so what's the point of staying at all?" Santana asks as her and Brittany walk out.
"I want a new partner," Mercedes grabs her books and walks out.
"Puck…what are you and Kurt really doing?" Finn asks grabbing his books.
"Working bro…Kurt showed me a whole new side of music and I'm kinda diggin it."
"Yeah what kind?"
"Broadway and if you laugh at me I'll kick you in the balls."
"Alright," the four of them walk out leaving Rachel and Quinn by themselves in the room.
"Guess we're writing in here today," the brunette gets up and walks over to the piano starting to quietly play notes.
"You say that as if it's a bad thing."
"No not at all it's just that a different atmosphere might brighten our imaginations a bit more therefore…"
"You know sometime Rachel I just want to put tape over your mouth. You go into detail about everything you say and you don't have to."
"I'm sorry Quinn," continuing to softly play Quinn sits down next to her mirroring her moves.
"You know what I love about the piano?"
"What?"
"It can be used in any song; ballad, rock, pop, hip-hop…it doesn't matter what kind of genera it is."
"That is a…yeah you're right."
Quinn starts to laugh, "All because I pointed out a little fact about you doesn't mean that you should change who you are."
"Sometimes I wish I could change who I am."
"Why?" Quinn asks turning around to following Rachel who sits down in a chair.
"I know that I am going to go to New York and star on my own Broadway show and become famous, but if I don't have friends or family…"
"What are you talking about; you'll have your dad's, Kurt will probably go with you, and you'll have Finn."
Rachel looks up at Finn's name and smirks, "Finn won't go with me. He says he will but New York isn't his scene and I don't expect him to follow me there especially since the city isn't really known for college football."
"I can't believe I'm about to have this conversation with you, but…if you ask him to go he will."
"I don't know if I want him to go with me."
"What do you mean?"
"I'm not going to have anytime for anything when I get there and that won't be fair to him."
"If he loves you like I know he does…it won't matter."
"He sees fireworks when he kisses you…he's never told me that."
Getting up Quinn sits next to Rachel, hesitates at first, but eventually puts her arm around her, "he doesn't have to say it cause it's in his eyes. He's in love and it's with you so you need to stop with this sad stuff cause we have to write an up-beat song." She gives Rachel a peck on the cheek and gets up.
"What was that for?"
"Consider it a thank you for calming me down at prom."
"But…"
"You see what I mean about not really thinking about what you're about to say…I said thank you and now the moment's over so get up and let's Barbara/Adele this song shall we?"
"Okay…so I guess that means we're even?"
"Whatever you want to call it Rachel; now do you want to start off the song with a base like a few of the Adele songs start and then throw Barbara in at the chorus, or vise versa?"
"No I think that's a good idea."
"Good…now we have to come up with lyrics; any idea?"
"What about a song about girl's night out…no boys and making it on your own?"
"Sounds good, just please nothing about your headband," Quinn smiles at her putting her head down.
"Okay," Rachel gets up and sits back down at the piano.
