Chapter 4: Final Countdown
Quinn's first night in her new unit, and it felt real different but this one can be considered as home. Robert and Judy spend the night at Quinn's apartment waiting for the New Years eve and decided to go back at LA on January 2nd.
"Good morning mom… dad… whacha think about the house?" Quinn asked as she walks on her kitchen where she found Robert and Judy eating breakfast.
"Its perfect honey" Judy said as she serve foods on Quinn's plate.
"Nice Job" Robert said.
Maybe Quinn and Brittany is one of those many blonde rich kids on New York but they're not brats like the others. The sisters we're both working thought they didn't really need to.
"—another thing, mom, dad, will you let me play 'til I graduated?"
"What do you mean play?" Judy asks as Robert smiles at Quinn.
"Honey its Basketball; remember Quinn use to play it on her freshman year?" Robert said.
"Oh? Are you sure about this Quinn? I mean Ash—"
"Mom… I'm coming back because it's a game Santana and I started, and we plan finishing it. I'm over her, believe me" Quinn said.
"Okay because you say so, but that bitch can't hurt you anymore!"Judy said.
"MOM!" "Judy!" Quinn shouted in unison.
Quinn packed her gym clothes and her things. She plans to join the team and practice with them on spring break. The problem is she haven't played basketball for a whole year, and she didn't know if the Yellow Flash is still there. She left her apartment and walked on a snowy sidewalk of New York to NYU. Its winter break but NYU's gym, stadiums and libraries aren't close for Holidays.
Thank god the school gym is already open at nine. She came in and a cold breeze of wind met her. She settle her gym bag on the bench grab a basket ball from the bin and start dribbling it. She missed this, she miss everything about her young years in the university.
Quinn saw everything happen again, it feels her memory was popping out again. The stadium was full with basket ball fans, her team wearing their Home uniform and the rival team from Chicago wearing a maroon jersey.
"Okay! Listen to me! We only have 9 seconds and its over!" A woman with a short cut blonde hair shouted at them "Last Possession of the game! We need this basket right here sloppy girls! They're leading with a point! One point!" the woman pointed on the basket on her board."Fabray you're taking the big shot! Can I trust you!?"
"Yes coach!" Quinn saw her younger self shouted, it makes her smile.
"Okay! Williams pass the ball to Lopez! Lopez you going to fake attack the basket so Jones and Zises will guard the Low post so you'll pass it to Fabray! Fabray stay on mid range Jones will be guarding Lopez this time and its your turn to attack and make sure that you'll make a score! Wilde, Hastings! Keep screening!"
"But coach 9 seconds left, we can't—" Hastings said.
"Pulled that off in 9 seconds and all of you will have a place on Sue's Hall of Fame! Now go kick some ass!" Coach Sue said as the ring sounded off. It gave Quinn shivers.
The referee's whistle came out. Katie Williams outside holding a ball, she passed it to Santana "8" and the Latina attack the center "7!" the audience counting as the whole court tensed up, Mercedes and Lauren from the opposite teams run towards to block the Latina, Santana jump holding the ball in the air "6!". Mercedes and Lauren jump, but Santana passed the ball to Quinn mid air, the blonde catch the ball and made Coach Sue to stand on her feet "5".
"Five seconds Fabray!" Coach Sue shouted.
Quinn hold the ball bent her arm and her knee, from the audience she saw Jake Lewiston, from Chicago's men basket ball team, the guys she saw kissing Ashley that night, the guy Ashley picked instead of her. Her knees trembled as she saw Jake grinning at her. This their tactic, to messed up Quinn's game. "4!"
"Fabray shoot the ball! The ball!" Sue keep shouting but Quinn was deafened.
"Q! what the fuck are you doing!?" Santana shouted. "3!"
Quinn back to her imaginations, teary eyed. Standing on the exact same spot Coach Sue told her.
"2…" Quinn told to herself she bent her knee and her arms. "1…" she continued she threw the ball in the air, it touches the ring but she missed the shot again. She kneeled down doing what happened years ago, it all came to her all the pain. She fail to win the championship the force her to just leave the team, it's a shame, she's the yellow flash, everybody relied on her but she turned them down.
"So the Yellow Flash is back?" Quinn turned and saw Kristen standing on the bench. "I enjoy the game though you lose on the bulls."
"Kristen? Wha—what are you doing here?" Quinn said and picked the ball and wipes her face.
"Y'know student council thing. I used to check every facilities in check during holidays… then I got lucky to catch the Yellow Flash's private training."
"No… you don't understand I'm not—"
"Well you need to Q, the team made it to the Quarter finals this year, I know y'know that because of Santana, but they won't win through finals without you, they needed you Q…"
"Why are you—"
"Santana told me that Coach misses you play, and I convince your friend to convince you play again and here you are…" Kristen walked near Quinn and grab the ball. "You need to win the championship, though you still have another year, but this my last. I wanted to see you holding that big trophy Q… you're like a sister to me"
"I don't know but I'll do everything to get back on the team, Kristen you're like a big sister to me and I don't know what the hell I am thinking when I asked you out on date…"
"Because I'm hot"
"Yes you are" and the laughter of the two filled the whole stadium, Kristen sit on the bench as she saw Quinn running, shooting and dribbling on the court. The old Quinn is back, its payback time big bulls.
Outside the gym there was Kurt and Blaine having stroll on the campus as they heard a dribbling ball on the stadium.
"Quinn? Kristen?" Blaine said as he poked his head inside the big door. He was shocked to see Quinn in her gym clothes in sweat holding a ball.
"Yes I'm back" Quinn said "Kurt! Blaine!" Quinn threw the ball aside and approach the two as Kristen threw her a dry towel. "What are you guys doin' here?"
"I'm just giving Kurt a tour to our campus and i—"
"Yes Blaine she's back" Kristen confirmed.
"Kurt I forgot to tell you that one thing why Quinn is 'quiet' popular here is because she's the star of the team back then but she decided to be normal last year and now she's back… I'm a fan Quinn"
"Eww Blaine stop" Quinn said as she snuggle Blaine's hair.
"Do I need to get an autograph from you Quinn?" Kurt said as she winked at the blonde. Kurt's favorite blonde is Quinn, only Quinn.
"After the championship Kurt, after we win." Quinn said as Blaine, Kristen and Quinn smile to each other.
"Rachel? Rachel!" Kurt shouted as he enter the apartment where Rachel and him where staying.
"I'm in the bathroom, wait a sec!" Rachel said Kurt change his clothes and wait for Rachel on the couch of their living room.
"Kurt what's wrong why are you shouting?"
"I saw our favorite blonde! Here take a look at this—" Kurt opened his phone and show Rachel a picture of Quinn playing basket ball. Rachel slightly drooled herself—well she actually did—as she take a look on Quinn, On her white jogging pants and her gray NYU tshirt. But Rachel saw not just Quinn.
"Is that K—kristen?" Rachel said pointing on the woman with a white towel on her shoulders. Kurt thinks something fun and he did.
"Ah yes, that Kristen. She's so lovely; Blaine and I saw her with Quinn on the gym. Isn't that cute?"
"She—she helped Quinn err… Exercising?"
"I think? Why?" Kurt's right, he made Rachel jealous. Rachel felt a fang of jealousy strike her. But she's straight, she can't be jealous. Maybe I'm jealous as a friend? Yea right. Rachel thought.
"Kurt…"
"Yes?"
"Am I gay?" Rachel said and Kurt didn't saw that coming. Rachel stood up and gone hysterical "Oh my god Kurt! What am I going to do? What I'm going to say to Finn? Kurt! Help me!"
"Rachel! Please sit down i—"
Rachel sat down buried her face on Kurt's neck "Kurt… what if I'm gay? How am I going to tell this to Finn? I'm scared…"
"Rach you don't need to be scared… don't forget that me and you fathers are gay, we're all gay here. It will be fun, maybe you're bisexual because you like Finn, but sexuality isn't important when you love someone."
"Quinn Fabray is turning me gay…"
Kurt hugged Rachel tightly and smile, maybe Quinn is better for Rachel than his homophobe brother who hates everything that isn't about him.
At 7pm Quinn, Santana and Brittany are already set as Judy and Robert wait for them on time square area, the two made time for each other and treat this weekend as a off from their work. Its December 31st the whole family is going to join the New Years Eve ball at time square. Brittany on her casual jeans and tshirt with a jacket up to her knee and a yellow beanie. Santana on her signature small fitted dress and a NYU hoodie that looks like Quinn's. Quinn is wearing a Paramore tshirt and a black fitted jeans and a black converse with her NYU hoodie and NYC cap.
"Holla amigas!" Puck roared on Quinn apartment wearing his black sleeveless shirt and a ripped loose pants. "Take this this and this…" Puck gave the three a matching 2012 shades.
"What the fuck are these?" Santana said as she check the shades off.
"C'mon! this is the Time Square's trademark… when the ball drops all of their eye ware will glow… I have the hats and other stuffs on my van! Lets go!"
"This is so cool Noah!" Brittany wear the shades as she imitate a star wars pose.
" 'tis will do—let go!"
Puck drive the van on their way to the theater district, they park the car somewhere because they can't penetrate he crowded place. They reach West 51st St and saw Judy and Robert outside the restaurant. They dine in Le Bernardin at exactly 8pm. It's a French/seafood restaurant round time square. They share a very big dinner together with Puck. They occupied a 6 seated table.
The dining room is so spacious and graced with huge flower arrangements. The whole ambiance was elegant but not intimidating, a perfect resto for a whole family.
They ordered citrus recipes, lobster goulash entrée, scallop carpacio as an appetizer and halibut entrée. They ate a 3-course dinner and the wine selections are the best. They are so full and started to made their way on the Time square. Judy and Robert parted and leave the 'kids' alone. Puck, Quinn, Santana and Brittany made their way to watch the show.
"Mic test…" Ryan Seacrest hosted the New Years Eve ball and started as his voice heard on the area. "Hello everyone! In 30 minutes in time that ball will drop signaling another year of prosperity on the United States and all around the world. Please help yourself til the countdown, but now lets enjoy these next performances."
"Quinn! Santana! Here!" Blaine shouted from the crowd as he jumps on the crowd and waving his hands on the air "Hey"
"B—Blaine?" Quinn said as she saw Blaine from the crowd. She looked on the three and talk to them "Hey! Blaine's here lets get to them, they're nearer on the stage!"
"C'mon!" Puck said as he leads the way. They bump on other New Yorkers and tourist but they let Santana take care of them.
"Wacha step guuurl!" a black girl yelled at them as they walk on their way but Santana immediately snapped on her. "I'm so sorry but your big black ass blocking are way… so if you may?"
"Watch your asses pretty ladies! Or you'll taste the D!" said a drunk guy on their way. "Suck my dick Charlie Sheen!"
And that's how Santana do her job.
They all meet and say their hi's and hello's. Quinn just saw Rachel, Rachel all gorgeous tonight.
"Hey" Rachel said.
"You alone?" Quinn said as she looked around and found no Finn around.
"I don't know for now. We haven't really talk after that. Quinn I'm so sorry about last time… I disturb you in some ways I really really—"
"No, it's okay. I enjoyed it, do you?"
"Of course I do!" Rachel said and Quinn blushed. The moment was cut by Puck who shouted at Quinn.
"Quinn! Fun is on! Dude they're gods!" Puck said as the guy jumps with the crowd. The two didn't know that they're the only one who isn't joining the jam.
"Catcha Later Rach!" Quinn said as she joins her friends leaving Rachel blushing and Kurt just winked at his confuse friends.
The night continues to go on and they're all partying. Rachel and Kurt meet some Juilliard mates on the crowd same as Quinn, Santana and Blaine.
"A minute before the ball drops! Everbody lets start the countdown at ten! But first let me thank our sponsors for the night, this won't be perfect without you thank you very much. Lets begin the countdown!" the host said
A big number 10 flashed on the big screen on the middle of time square as the crowd starts counting.
"10!" Santana's arms around Brittany as the blonde's head rest on Santana's neck. Blaine and Kurt holding hands as Kurt holds Rachel's too. Puck and Quinn are arm to arm jumping on the countdown.
"9!... 8!... 7!... 6!... 5!" at five Brittany and Santana started lip locking that gain a 'hell yes!' from Puck. Puck look at Quinn if he can kiss her friend but Quinn immediately push him back.
"I'll kick you ass!" Quinn said to Puck.
"4!" Puck grab some girl from his range and kissed the living hell out of that poor girl. I hope she's not a minor Quinn thought.
"3!" Kurt and Blaine lock lips.
"2!" Rachel and Quinn look at each other's eyes. Rachel shook her head and Quinn said "Of course, that's silly" and the giggled.
"1!" they smile to each other, the host push the button and the ball drops.
"Zero! Happy new ye—" Rachel shouts at the top of her lung but all she can see was Quinn's smile faded as the blonde approach her, it's so fast that she didn't even had the time to react. Quinn grab her face and kissed her, Quinn broke the kiss but Rachel grab the blondes face and kissed her again. This time its more intimate, more real. The two was drowned on the overflowing feeling but the scene was cut by a familiar voice.
"Rachel?" Finn's voice roar in Rachel's mind "You dyke get the fuck off my girlfriend!" Finn run in their direction and shove Quinn away from Rachel.
"Dude hands off!" Puck shouted as he saw Finn shove Quinn.
"Finn!" Kurt shouted. Finn's big hands grab Rachel's and drag her away on the crowd. That is the last thing Quinn Fabray saw.
"Potato face get yo ass up here again and I'll eat you… FRIED!" Santana shouts as Brittany calmed her down.
"Q? Q? you okay?" Blaine said as he fixed Quinn's hair.
"Quinn I am so sorry about my brother… I'm really sorry" Kurt said.
"Lets get moving… we're getting some attention now" Brittany said as she push Puck to help Quinn through.
"Move bitches! Angry lesbians on the way! Move!" Santana shouted as she made their way.
All of them get backed on Puck's van on their way to home except Kurt and Blaine who drive in different direction.
"Q! You rock that girl! I'll bow down before you!" Puck said as he attempt to high five Quinn but Santana swat Puck hand.
"Really?" Santana said.
"Cut that off!" Brittany said to Puck and Santana. "Quinn? Say something!
Quinn smile and look to them "I'm okay, really. I can't—she likes me too isn't she? She kissed back? Oh god! I don't care about that potato tree around, all I have to think about is how to get Rachel from her!" Quinn said and the three fell silent in shock and Puck almost pull the van on a stop.
"Wha—" Santana said but immediately cut by Quinn.
"I'm okay San… I'm better actually" Quinn said and started to plan how to get Rachel. "—and I agree with you, he's a potato face" and they all laugh on their way home.
Quinn's standing outside the door with a name "Sue Sylvester". She took a deep breath and knock on the door. A voice answered her.
"Come in" her coach's voice sounded. She opened the door and saw her coach shines her trophy. "What brings you here Q?"
"Coach… I want to join the team. I mean I missed it, being on the spotlight every time we perform is a great feeling, being behind the camera while we film movies is an awesome feeling and the feeling of playing on that court outside this door is what I missed, coach if you let me—"
"Are you really over her Q? If not you can get your ass off my office now"
"I do… coach I came back because of them, I want to regain their trust on me, they need me now, you need me on the team. I know that it's not too late if I still hop in?"
Sue opened her drawer and grab a rectangular box, she opened it and get a basketball uniform. She threw the cloth on Quinn's direction and landed on the blonde's face. Quinn catches the uniform and it her jersey numbered four. A red jersey with a white number four embroidered at the back.
"Thank you so much coach! I—"
"Thank me after you bring the championship trophy in my office" Sue said and stood up and hugs Quinn. "I missed you too Fabray"
The too walk on the gym where the NYU women basket ball team is practicing. The gym were adorned by red flags all over the bench and the ceiling, this is more alive than the one Quinn saw during the break as he practice. Santana is the first one to approach her and the rest of the team. She remembered all of them.
"Captain…" Quinn said as she saw Viola Hastings approach her.
"I thought you'll never coming back"
"You thought wrong again captain"
The team practice with Quinn on it again. Quinn's day as she came back to school was quiet memorable. She exits the gym and showered on the locker room. she saw Santana run away but didn't mind her friend, maybe she's on her way to her sister's house.
"Quinn!" Kristen shouted as Quinn exits the locker room already freshened up.
"Kristen ! You always got me! Are you stalking me?" Quinn said as she playfully places her arm around Kristen's shoulder.
"No! Maybe?" Quinn smile at her "Kidding… well looks like you're back on the court?"
"Yes… it's a bit tiring; I don't know how I survive Coach Sue's routine last year ugh!"
"You wanna grab some coffee or something?" Kristen asks her.
"I'll pass on this one… we have a band rehearsal at 5"
"Can I come with you?"
"Kaye you had a girlfriend remember?"
"Yeah? Duh! C'mon Q I just wanted to watch. She won't be jealous, Miles knows you."
"Okay okay!"
They walk on their way to Puckerman's household. They use their garage to practice their numbers for their gigs or performances. As Quinn enters the room she saw Puck, Blaine and Kurt.
"Good! Lets start!" Puck said.
"Where's San?" Quinn asks as Kristen sit beside Kurt. Puck, Quinn and Santana always play here at Puck's garage since they made the band and Blaine as their new member he gets himself comfortable already.
"She called and told me she won't come" Blaine said held his phone up.
"Did she say why?"
"No she didn't" Blaine said.
"C'mon! lez do this!" Puck said and the three start practicing without the base guitarist.
They ended early as they had a hard time filling up Santana's place. Quinn, Kristen, Kurt, Blaine and Puck sit on the couch as they talked about things as their topic move to faberry.
"I have an idea!" Kurt said "I mean I planned this already but…"
"Just spill it!" Puck said impatiently.
"What if you make Rachel jealous? I mean it is confirmed she might like you back… like I'm 90 percent sure right now about that but we need her to break up with my dumb brother so—I was thinking that if she's real jealous she might became aggressive that I know will happen and make her move and brave enough to break up with my brother and be with you Quinn!"
"You're real genius baby! I mean that's a classic tactic!" Blaine said.
"Bu—but how we'll do that?" Quinn said confused.
"Duh!" Kurt said pointing at Kristen "Rachel is so jealous if you're around sweetie, you're all we need to make this and also Quinn's cooperation!"
"Wow! I can feel the gayness in this room and I love it!" Puck said "Count me in!"
"I'll help too!" Blaine said.
"If that's the only way… I'm in!" Kristen said. And all head turn on Quinn's direction. "Quinn?"
"I—thank you so much! I'll do my best!"
"Yey! Can't wait for my faberry!" Kurt said.
"Faberry?" Quinn asked.
"Fabray-Berry! Operation Faberry!" Kurt said as she bounce up and down on his sit.
"Oh?" the four said in unison. Kristen looks at Kurt and speak to him "So… what's our first step?"
"First step? You mean second step? Because I already did the first one. I built up already a story about Kristen helping Quinn in basketball practices and I saw her jealous! And now the second step… we need her to see that! We'll watch the practice and you Kristen do the job! Quinn just play it cool! We're on your back!"
"O—okay" Quinn said.
Puck nod as he smile devilishly.
"Puck! You're creeping me out! Stop it!" Quinn said as she pat Puck's Mohawk.
"What? I just imagined that you two together is hotter than Rachel with that potato head. I mean, they don't even had a chemistry" Puck said weighing the idea's of Rachel and Quinn with Rachel and Finn.
"You know what? He had a point" Blaine said.
"So… operation faberry is on?" Kurt asks them. And the four with different answered in unison.
"Hell yea!" Puck shouted.
"Ofcourse!" Blaine answered.
"For Quinn!" Kristen said.
"I guess… Les do this!" Quinn said.
"That's so gay Quinn" Puck said.
"Shut up!"
