Rachel woke up to a text from Quinn telling her to be ready at noon, so she can pick her up. Confused by the text but decided to get up shower and get dress anyways. As Rachel was finishing up her make-up she heard her phone buzz, she took a lot at the text it was from Quinn.
From: Quinn
I'm here.
To: Quinn
Be out in a minute.
From: Quinn
Okay.
Rachel put her phone back down on the dresser and looked herself over in the mirror.
"Here goes nothing." Rachel said to herself as she grabbed her, phone and keys and proceeded to exit room, then her house locking the door behind her. She turns to see Quinn sitting in her 2016 white jeep renegade with a black interior. Rachel opened the passenger door and slid in and said,
"Hey, Quinn." Rachel said as she closed the door.
"Hey Rach," Quinn responded as she watched Rachel buckled her seat belt.
"Are you ready to go?" Quinn asked as she put the car into drive looking around to see if the coast was clear for her to go.
"Yeah, but umm where are we going?" Rachel asked curiously.
"It's a surprise," Quinn said as they sat in silence listening to the radio.
~ 15 Minutes Later ~
Quinn pulls up to the Lima Height mall and parked near the entrance of the food court.
"Why didn't you just say you wanted to go to the mall?" Rachel asked.
"If I said I wanted to go to the mall with you, would you have said yes?"
"Okay, I see your point, but why are we here?" Rachel asked as she watched a bunch of girls with shopping bag walk to their car.
"We're here to get you some new clothes for your closet and toss out the old ones," Quinn said oblivious to the offensive tone voice she tried not to use as she opened her driver side door.
"There is nothing wrong with my clothes." Rachel said getting slightly annoyed as she got out the car and closed the door. Quinn picking up on the annoyed tone in her voice and immediately knew she said something wrong.
"Rachel I'm sorry if I offended you, but your clothes are part of the reason why you were branded a loser. I want to change that. I know I am the other part, but I want to buy you some new clothes and give you a make-over, not to mention when Santana saw you in those short-shorts and tank top she was totally eyeing fucking you and ready to take your clothes off. Plus, it would be different seeing you in something other than skirts, animal sweaters, and Mary Jane's shoes. It's 2016 and we need to update your wardrobe. Invent a new Rachel so to speak." Rachel walked in silence thinking about what Quinn said.
"Maybe it is time to change how I look." Rachel said in her mind.
"Are you up for it? Because if not, we can just have some lunch and I'll drive you back home."
"No, I want to stay and give this 'inventing a new Rachel' a try."
"Okay, great so I think we should start off with getting you some new pants and we'll work our way from there," Quinn said as they entered the mall. They went to one of the outlet stores in search of new clothes.
~ A Few Hours Later ~
Quinn has found Rachel some shorts, pants, t-shirts, tanks, and shoes among other accessories. Both Quinn and Rachel were hungry and decided to head to the food court. They sat down at a table with their food in hand talking about the assignment that Mr. Schue gave them earlier in the week.
"So, do you know what song you want to do for the duet?" Quinn asked as she bites into her double bacon cheeseburger with extra bacon.
"No, I actually have no idea what we could sing. I was originally thinking we can do a mash-up picked 3 songs from 3 different artists and blend them together, but that might sound weird." Rachel said as she took a bite of her Subway sandwich.
"Rachel you might be on to something there. I know we could use some of your sexy dance moves to go with them, which would be great. But on a more serious note, about the other day… Are you okay?" Quinn asked concerned.
"Yea I'm fine, Finn kind of pissed me off that day and I wasn't in the mood to have an argument with him in front of my house."
"Oh, what did he say that had you so upset?" Quinn asked as she slid her hand over Rachel's.
"He went on and on about how you, Santana and Brittany were just playing a practical joke on me and how could I be so naïve to fall for it." Rachel in a low tone, looking down at her sandwich. Quinn looked at Rachel and shook her head. She couldn't believe Finn would say that to her.
"Rachel you know I would never be that cruel to you, right? I mean I know we haven't got along in the past and stuff, but after these past few days, I got the chance to get to know the real you and you are pretty cool Rachel." Quinn said.
"Thanks, Quinn that means a lot coming from you." Rachel said with a smile.
"That's what best friends are for Rach," Quinn said as she got up from the seat and sat next to her and pulled her into to a one arm hug.
"Since when did we become best friends?" Rachel asked as she took a sip of her soda.
"Since the day you told me about your dirty little secret," Quinn said as she took another bite of her burger. Rachel almost choked on her soda when she heard what Quinn said.
"Quinn, I didn't tell you, you guessed." Rachel said as she wiped her mouth with her napkin.
"Well, you wouldn't have told me anyway, if I didn't catch you staring at Santana in the middle of glee," Quinn said getting up to throw both of their trash away.
"I was not staring at Santana in glee. I was thinking, and she was in my line of vision that's all." Rachel said badly explaining why she would be looking in Santana's direction.
"Sure, I know what you were thinking too… 'how can I get into Santana's panties' am I right?" Quinn said with a loud laugh. Rachel hit her on her arm with a very upset look on her face.
"I can't believe you just said that." Rachel said while trying to maintain her serious expression, but she couldn't help her mind wondering about those panties.
"Oh my God, are you picturing Santana in her panties?" Rachel didn't answer, she just walked out of the mall with a blush on her face. As they approached Quinn's car, she hit the button on her keys to unlock the doors. Quinn placed Rachel's bags in the back seat then closed the door. She moved to the driver door opened it and slide in. Rachel was already in the passenger's seat with her seat buckled ready to go. Quinn looked at Rachel and was surprised to see a very angry look on her face. This made her feel bad, thinking maybe she pushed too hard.
"Umm…Hey Rachel…Uh you know I'm just messing with you, right? If you don't like Santana like that, I get it. I'm sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable."
"Rach come on you're my best friend. I just had to ask!"
"Say something!" Quinn said as Rachel finally cracked and burst out laughing.
"God, I wish you could see your face right now, but yes I do like Santana, no you didn't make me uncomfortable and yes I knew you were messing with me." Rachel said still laughing hard.
"That was not funny Rachel! I thought you were really mad at me." Quinn said with a pout.
"Aww, poor baby…" Rachel said teasing. Quinn rolled her eyes and started the car, pulled out the parking lot and headed to Rachel's house.
"Hahaha."
"Hey, that right there was a classic though." Rachel said laughing a little more before calming down.
"I'm going to get you back for that Rach," Quinn said focusing on the road.
"Ohhhh … I'm so scared! Seriously I'm shaking in my boots." Rachel said jokingly as she did a fake tremble. They laugh and joke with each other some more as they were almost to Rachel house. Once they arrived at said house, Quinn turned off the car and got out to help Rachel with her bags.
"So, do you want to come in and get started on our assignment?" Rachel asked as she reached to get her bags from Quinn who moved her hand basically saying that she got it.
"Yea that's cool."
"Thank you by the way. I realized I never said it."
"Don't worry about it. What are friends for?"
"Best friends!"
"Exactly, not open the door why don't ya," Quinn said as she pressed the lock button on her keys locking her car up.
"Yeah, let's go in." Rachel got her keys out her purse and opened the door and left it open for Quinn to come in. Quinn came in and closed the door behind her.
"Let's go to my room follow me." Rachel said as she walked up the stairs to her room with Quinn walking closely behind her with the bag in her hand. Rachel stopped at the closed door with the airbrushed star on it, she opened the door and walked inside placing the bags on her bed. Quinn walked in behind her and was shocked to see Rachel's room looking so…so…so normal.
"Quinn you can sit the bags on the bed." Rachel said as she opens the door to her walk-in closet. Turning around to see Quinn still standing in the middle of her room with a surprised look on her face.
"Quinn are you okay? Is there something wrong?" Rachel asked slightly worried.
"Huh? What … Oh no there's nothing wrong, I just couldn't believe this is your room! Forgive me for saying, but it looks so well normal." Quinn said as she placed the bags on the queen size bed.
"What were you expecting to see? Let me guess…Um… Pink and white walls with posters of Barbra Streisand and other random musicals am I right?" Rachel said with a smirk.
"Well yeah, something like that," Quinn said as she looked around the room. Quinn walked over to the desk and pulled out the chair and sat as Quinn noticed concert tickets to Justin Timberlake, Demi Lovato and Jennifer Lopez. Not to mention a couple of playbills that was a pin on the bulletin board next to it a signed autograph from Jennifer Lopez.
'Rachel keep chasing your dreams, love J-LO' Quinn read to herself.
"Hey Rachel, how did you get a sign autograph from Jennifer Lopez?" Quinn asked as she got up from her seat to look around the room some more.
"My father was her attorney back in the day and my dad surprised me with it one day." Rachel said as she walked out of her closet. Quinn still couldn't believe this was Rachel's room. She felt like she stepped into a twilight zone or something. Rachel takes her shirt off, to slip into a tank when Quinn turn around in time to see that Rachel has two tattoos. One that was on the right side of her rib cage that read:
"Art does not exist only to entertain, but also challenges one to think, to provoke, and even to disturb, in the contestant search for the truth." In black cursive writing, and then another one was on her left shoulder that read,
"There is nothing more important in life than love and true happiness." In the same black cursive writing.
"When did you get those?" Quinn asking pointing to her tattoos as she finally got the tank on after putting it on inside out and correcting it.
"What oh my tattoos? I had them for a while now. I got them last summer after we won sectionals." Rachel said as she made her way over to the bed and laid down.
"So, what do you want to do?" Quinn said as she made her way back to the chair by the desk.
"How about I give you the grand tour of the house, then after that, we can go down to the media room and watch a movie?" Rachel said standing up from the bed.
"What about the assignment?" Quinn asked.
"Tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow."
"So, about the other stuff?" Rachel asked at the door.
"Sure, that's fine with me," Quinn said following Rachel out the room.
"To your left, we have my parents room which is the master suite with its own master bath. The room, next to it is the first guest bedroom with its own private bathroom. Now across the hall from the guest room is my room which you've already seen."
"Yeah."
"Next to my room is guest bedroom number 2, now this bedroom does not have a bathroom attached, but it does have a walk-in closet. The first one doesn't. Across from the bedroom is the third bathroom. Now let's go down to the main floor." Rachel said as she leads Quinn downstairs and into the living room.
"This is the living room with the white 6-piece furnisher sat that my parents had flown from Rome. This rub is my grandpapas. He gave it to my daddy before he died. This is the 65' HD LCD Flat screen 4K with Reda Display Smart TV. I love this tv. But we can only watch this tv when we are together. For like family movie night and stuff like that. For personal everyday use, we have the Media room for that. Anyways let's head to the dining room." Rachel said as she walked with Quinn to the dining room.
"This is the dining room…" Rachel paused running her hand across the very long Cherrywood table. "This is where we host our Christmas, Hanukkah and Thanksgiving Dinners." Rachel finishes, she walks into the kitchen and steps aside to let Quinn take it all in. Quinn can't believe how big and beautiful Rachel's kitchen was. It was bigger than her bedroom and kitchen put together.
"This is where the magic happens. If you don't know, now you do. I love to cook and bake. This is one of my favorite rooms in the house. This kitchen has a marble countertop and island with white bar chairs. On one side of the kitchen sat a stainless steel electric stovetop and next to it sat a huge 3 door stainless steel refrigerator with a built-in ice maker." As Rachel finished describing her kitchen, Quinn fell more and more in love with it.
"You have to let me cook in here sometime, please! I'll beg if you want me too." Quinn said not taking her eyes off this masterpiece that is this kitchen.
"Begging won't be necessary, but yes you can cook for me anytime you want."
"Hey, I never said that."
"My kitchen my rules."
"Deal, anything to let me in this kitchen," Quinn said dazed as Rachel laughed and literally had to pull Quinn away from the kitchen. They made their way out the side door to the pool with a pool house.
"This is the pool house, and this is the Olympic Size Pool great for swimming laps. There are many lawn chairs lining down the row for relaxing or tanning whichever you prefer. Now to my right is the Jacuzzi and to your right is the bar and sound system. Now let me show you inside the pool house."
"Okay." They made their way inside the pool house that looks out over the pool.
"This is the living room, the kitchen is straight ahead, the bedroom is down the hall to your right and the bathroom is across from the room. Now, this door on my left leads to the gym fully equipped with punching bags, treadmills, exercise bikes and it also has a small track around the equipment in case I ever feel like running and it's too cold outside to do so. Let's head to the garage."
"Let's go," Quinn said as they both walked out of the pool house with Rachel closing the doors behind them. Then leading down another brick pathway to the 5-car garage. This is my collection of cars." Rachel said as she opened the garage door. Quinn saw several nice cars.
"This is my 2012 Nissan Skyline GTR-R34 my dad and I brought this car for $800 and fixed up to look this damn good, next to it is my Mazda RX-7 Veilside, then my Toyota Supra Turbo, next is the Acura Integra."
"You really are a huge fast and the furious fan, aren't you?" Quinn asked.
"Yea we had this all custom made except the first one, we did that one ourselves, but the rest were professionally done to look like the cars from the movies." Rachel said.
"Do you drive any of them," Quinn said looking inside each of the cars.
"Sometimes, who knows I might even let you drive one of them." Rachel said.
"That would be so cool."
"Now let me show you, my baby." Rachel went over to a side extra garage. She removed a red cover from the sexiest car Quinn has ever seen.
"This is my 2016 Mustang Convertible GT 1400 with red and black leather interior with the exterior being an orange/red color that looks like the sunset. This is my baby, I love this car more than anything."
"Can I drive this as well?" Quinn asked.
"I'm sorry but no one can drive my car but me. Amelia and I have a special bond, and no one will understand how to handle her like I can." Rachel said kissing the hood before covering it back up.
"You named your car Amelia?"
"Yes, I did. I may let you ride in it one day, not drive nope not ever."
"Got it this car is off limits. Do your dads drive it?"
"NO ONE drives my baby but me!"
"Okay, got it calm down."
"Sorry about that, how about we go back inside order some food? I don't really feel like cooking right now?"
"Yeah okay."
"Sorry for snapping again."
"It's cool really."
"After we order our food we could head to the media room to watch some movies." Rachel said as she walks out of the garage waiting for Quinn to come out and close the door.
"That sound like a plan because I am hungry."
"Me too." Rachel said as they walked back to the house.
"If Santana doesn't date Rachel I will," Quinn said to herself as she followed Rachel back into the house.
