Thank you all for your support and reviews.

To the people that were asking what song Rachel sang in the auditorium, it was "Echo" by Jason Walker. Beautiful song.

Oh... and to the person that reviewed and told me I was spelling Jesse's name wrong, I went back and fixed it. Hopefully I fixed every single one.

Also I would like to say that Cory Monteith seemed like a cool person. He definitely didn't deserve to die so young. Glee will obviously never be the same. I will miss him.

Now, on to the story...


Rachel slowed down her running and started to walk. Damon ran ahead of her and towards the bench where Rachel left her things. He retrieved the frisbee Rachel brought with them to the park today. He ran back to his owner and placed the item on her hand.

Rachel patted Damon's head and asked "Ready?"

The German Shepherd barked.

Rachel threw the frisbee and heard her dog running to catch it. She heard the sound of his teeth coming down on the plastic disk and smiled.

He ran back and placed the disk in her waiting hand.

Damon barked twice before Rachel heard footsteps behind her.

"I'm still convinced you're stalking me." Rachel said aloud. "Be good." she whispered so only Damon could hear her.

"I'm not stalking you. You just happen to be here when I'm running."

"And the auditorium?"

"I told you, I like to hear you sing." Quinn replied.

Rachel pursed her lips. She stood up and threw the frisbee again. Damon caught it again and Quinn watched impressed.

"How does he do that?" she asked out loud.

"Do what?" Rachel asked.

"Well... he is so well-trained. He knows exactly what to do."

"Damon was trained to help me. We have special signs for each other so we can communicate. Over the years we have learned to understand each other better."

"How?" Quinn asked curiously.

"Well... you have heard him bark twice when he sees you right?"

"Yeah."

"He is letting me know that there is someone else with us." Rachel explained. "When I need something, I tell him and he instantly knows what I am talking about. Watch." Rachel heard Damon's paws coming closer to her so she outstretched her hand to receive the frisbee.

After Damon handed her the frisbee, Rachel asked him to get her phone.

Quinn watched amazed as he ran to a nearby bench and retrieved something.

He ran back and nudged Rachel's hand with the item. Rachel received her phone and held it up for Quinn to see.

"Wow. He's good."

"I know. Damon, this is Quinn." Rachel said to her dog.

He looked up at Quinn and started to walk towards her.

The blonde took a hesitant step back because she was still slightly afraid of the dog.

Rachel heard it so she tried to calm the girl's nerves. "It's ok. He is just going to smell you and walk around you so he could memorize your scent and how you look."

Quinn stood still as Damon circled her and sniffed her hand. After he was done, he nudged her hand with his nose and let her pet him.

The blonde smiled as she petted the German Shepherd.

"Since he's not growling, I can only assume he likes you." Rachel said.


That week for glee club, Mr. Shue paired everyone up so they could sing duets.

Rachel and Finn ended up being partnered together.

They spent time together after school and during lunch to work on their assignment.

"So what was that thing you did with Puck the other day? When you touched his mohawk?" Finn asked when they were in the Choir room rehearsing.

"Oh, well by touching I sort of get a picture in my head on how something looks. Can I show you an example?"

Finn shrugged, "Sure."

"May I touch your face?"

"Alright." Rachel was sitting on a chair so Finn bent down in front of Rachel.

Rachel gently touched his face. She traced his features with her fingers.

"I picture your chin, cheeks, forehead, your hair, eyebrows, your ears." Rachel's hands caressed his ears and then went back to his cheeks. "In my mind, you are very handsome. I have no doubt that you really are." Rachel smiled

Finn didn't know what came over him. Feeling Rachel touch his face was so peaceful. Hearing her call him handsome made him feel good. He really felt special with Rachel. She never told him he was stupid or put him down. She never judged him.

So when he leaned in and kissed her, it was kind of by instinct.

Just at that moment, Quinn was walking by the Choir room. She glanced inside and froze. Rachel had her hands on Finn's cheeks, and they were kissing. It was innocent though. Their lips were only touching but still, Quinn felt rage. She left just as Rachel gently pushed Finn away.

"Rachel, I am so sorry. I don't know what came over me." Finn apologized. "Aw man, that was so not cool of me."

"It's alright."

"I just kissed you Rachel. That's completely rude and ugh I'm so stupid."

"Finn, it really is okay-"

"It's just, hearing you say those nice things to me, and not judging me, It kinda blinded me."

"Finn, Its alright. It was just a reaction right?"

"Yeah"

"Then it's no big deal." Rachel said shrugging her shoulders nonchalantly.

"You sure?" Finn asked.

"Yeah, dont worry about it."

"Okay. So uh, lets keep working on this."


The next morning when Rachel was at the park, she happily greeted Quinn after she heard Damon bark and heard her footsteps.

What she wasn't expecting, was for Quinn to completely ignore her.

Rachel shrugged it off and continued to play with Damon.

Quinn kept running and stealing glances at Rachel. She was kind of dissapointed when Rachel didnt make an effort to keep talking to her.

Finally, when it looked like Rachel was about to leave, Quinn decided to confront her.

"Are you dating Jesse?"

"No. Why do you ask?"

"I just wanted to make sure I didn't jump to conclusions. I kinda saw you and Finn yesterday in the choir room. I didn't want to assume you were cheating on Jesse or something."

"Jesse is my best friend. And what you saw with Finn was... Nothing is going to come out of it." Rachel told the blonde.

"Most girls want to have a relationship with the quarterback of the football team."

"I'm not most girls."

"I'm glad." Quinn smiled when she saw Rachel smile.

"You wanna stick around and throw the frisbee?" Rachel asked holding up the disk.

"I don't know how to." The cheerleader replied honestly.

"I'll show you."

"Ok"

"Here, hold it and I'll show you"

Rachel gave Quinn the frisbee and the blonde

"Tell me if you feel uncomfortable."

Quinn opened her mouth to ask why but quickly shut it when she felt Rachel step up behind her.

Rachel reached up and adjusted Quinn's hold on the disk.

Rachel's hands were soft and warm on the blonde's skin.

Rachel then placed her hand over Quinn's so she could help guide her arm through the motions.

"Is this okay?" Rachel asked.

"Yeah" Quinn barely breathed out.

Quinn could feel Rachel's heartbeat against her back. Rachel's head was right next to hers. When she turned to look at the brunette, her nose would be meet with vanilla scented hair.

"Okay, so all you have to do is curl your arm in," Rachel had her arm wrapped around Quinn when she demonstrated. "Then uncurl your arm a little, flick your wrist, then let go." Rachel guided her through the moves. They repeated them a couple of times before Rachel finally told her to do it on her own.

"Ready Damon?"

Bark!

"Alright Quinn, whenever you're ready."

"Okay, let's see how this goes." With that, she flicked her wrist and let go.

Rachel knew she was able to throw it a short distance when she heard Damon running. Though he went to the far right to get it.

"I kinda did it. It wobbled a little and went to the right." Quinn said.

"That's a good start. If you keep trying you might get the hang of it."

Quinn looked down at Damon, who had the frisbee in his mouth and was sitting patiently in front of Quinn.

Needless to say, spending time together at the park became part of their morning routine.


Okay lovely people, this is the part where you all review and lash out at me for taking so long.
