*Flashback* ( The Saturday before Graduation)
Ever since the end of junior year, Rachel and Quinn have made up for their past mistakes and actually became great friends. After Quinn's car accident, Rachel was one of her main supporters, she was there for her when she would become discouraged with therapy, and she also helped motivate her to walk again. Rachel and Quinn were now laying down on a blanket in the park, side by side, staring up at the clouds.
"Hey Quinn?"
"Yeah, Rach?"
"Can I ask you something?"
"Sure"
"Are we really friends? Like do you actually like me? Like this isn't just all some sick joke you and Santana came up with? We're actually friends?"
"Ok. First of all I was expecting one question not 20. But to answer you, yes Rachel, I'm actually your friend. I don't know why we weren't friends before, I guess my bitchiness blinded me from seeing just how great you are. I'm sorry for that. Rachel you are a beautiful person inside and out and if you don't believe me then I guess I'll just have to tell you every chance I get until you finally do."
Both girls just laid there silently taking in every thing that Quinn had just said. Rachel scooted closer to Quinn and took her hand. Quinn squeezed her hand to show her that she really meant what she had just said, and she did. Rachel knew that she did just by the simple action of holding hands. Quinn then pulled back when she started to feel butterflies inside, she didn't know why, but she'd never felt like that before and she didn't want it to stop.
*Flashback* (Freshmen year in college)
It was an extremely cold winter in New York. Rachel and Kurt were loving their new apartment, but their furnace broke and they couldn't afford to fix it yet, so most times were harshly cold. Kurt had gone back home to Lima to visit his dad, so Rachel invited Quinn to spend the weekend with her. The two were currently wearing hoodies and sweatpants, and were covered in layers of blankets, while watching a Friends marathon. Both girls shivering intensely.
"Remind me again why I agreed to leave my perfectly heated dorm room, to spend the weekend in your cold ass apartment?"
"Because you love me so much that you didn't want to leave me to freeze to death alone."
"Whose words were those?"
"Yours."
"Oh that's right. Come here. We need to share body heat your lips are turning blue."
Rachel moved closer to Quinn on the couch. Quinn instinctively wrapped her arm around Rachel's back keeping her secure in her arms. Rachel then turned to lean her head on Quinn's shoulder. Quinn was starting to get that same feeling again. The butterflies. It warmed her insides, but at the same time it scared her. This time she was too cold to runaway so she decided to push down the feelings and remind herself that friends do this all of the time. Do friends also notice that other friends ironically have hair that smells like Blueberries?
*Flashback* (Junior year)
Rachel and Quinn weren't sure what they were, if you asked them if they were friends or enemies, they wouldn't be able to tell you. Quinn doesn't hate Rachel. She never did. Rachel never hated Quinn either. So when they had a sleepover things really seemed to be clear to them.
The Glee club was performing the musical the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Quinn's favorite musical. She was extremely excited, especially because she was going to be playing Magenta. Rachel on the other hand loved Rocky Horror, but it wasn't her favorite. She was playing Janet. To get into character, Quinn invited Rachel over to watch the musical and to sleep over. Not only did she want to get into character but she wanted to get to know Rachel better.
The night went well. The girls seemed to be having a lot of fun, laughing at each other and singing their favorite songs from the movie. Once the movie was coming towards an end Quinn was getting sleepy, so she decided to end it there and go to bed, she was expecting Rachel to protest but was surprised to find her asleep. Rachel was curled up in a little ball snoring softly. She looked kind of adorable. Quinn couldn't help but smile, she decided against waking the brunette up, and just laid down beside her.
