The girls sat on Rachel's bed curled up under the covers like they always did as kids when they had a sleepover at her house. Right now they were watching some romance musical Rachel had on DVD while continuing to drink wine and eating popcorn .
"How could Sam and Brittany mess this up?" Rachel complained still stuck on the subject. "They were perfect for each other!"
Mercedes sighed and took another handful of popcorn in her mouth. "You barely knew him," she mumbled as she continued to watch the movie.
"Yeah, but I have a good eye for things like this! They were meant to be together," Rachel ranted. "And now Sam is going to marry Quinn, and Brittany will be heartbroken forever!" Once the end credits start to roll Rachel grabbed the remote and turned off the movie. "Years of watching romantic movies and it's all a big lie! The couple stumbles around for half of the movie then all of a sudden they see their in love! In the last five minutes they finally realize they're meant to be together! Life does not work that way!" Rachel exclaimed causing Mercedes flinch a little at how loud she was. They picked up their glasses they used while watching the movie and began to take them down stairs.
"How about an action movie." Mercedes mumbled thinking over what movie to watch next. Whatever movie could get Rachel to stop complaining about Brittany and Sam, Mercedes was willing to watch. Mercedes let out a small huff and lent on the countertop and watched Rachel rinse the dishes.
"I hate action movies." Rachel sighed loudly and turned to look at Cedes.
"But It's different in action movies. Their right. Out of all the types movies the actions ones are most entertaining and realistic." Mercedes smirked.
"You're right," Rachel agreed. "In action movies some psychopath takes people hostage and threatens to kill all of them then the cute action hero comes in. They go behind enemy lines, wipe out the henchman, the psychopath suffers a spectacular death, and the sweet people go free! That's what you need to make love work," Rachel said dramatically causing her friend to laugh. She knew what this was all about. This wasn't entirely about Brittany and Sam anymore.
"Brody didn't call back did he?" she asked, crossing my arms over my chest.
"No," Rachel pouted. "He went out-of-town for with his scene partner, who..."
Mercedes stopped her lovesick friend. "He swears he's not sleeping with." It clear that Rachel had told the story already. Every time Brody left New York, it's the same thing. "I told you, you shouldn't date your co-stars," Mercedes mumbled.
Rachel turned and glared at her, placing her hands on her hip. "Because you always have the best relationships," Rachel said sarcastically.
Mercedes glared back at Rachel "Matt and I are very happy, thank you," Mercedes sassed, bring up her current boyfriend.
"He's done so much to prove he likes you. You two are destined to be married!" Rachel smiled.
"I just don't see myself as Mrs. Rutherford right now," Mercedes explained. "I'm too young. You get married, and the next thing you know, you wake up with screaming kids, bags under your eyes, and ugly sweat pants. Ain't nobody got time for that." Mercedes shook her head causing Rachel giggled at her. "Now back to you. What are you gonna do with 'Brody the Gigolo'?" Mercedes asked, using her usual nickname for Brody. "I have no problems bustin some windows," she threatened. Rachel shook her head and was about to speak when Mercedes continued. "Oh, but you did meet that cutie, Finn, today," she recalls. "He liked you."
Rachel rolled her eyes at Mercedes's enthusiasm to make it seem like she was crazy, but couldn't help the small smile that came to her lips at the thought. "So what if he likes me?" she said under my breath trying to hide the blush coming to my face.
Obviously Mercedes noticed. "Aww!" Mercedes squealed. "You like him. You really really like him," she sings. "You should call him. No, what if he calls?" She smirked receiving an annoyed look from Rachel.
"Nice guys don't call me, just self-centered actors." Mercedes could tell Rachel wasn't in the mood to talk about the subject anymore and allowed her to change it. "So what are we going to do about Brittany?"
"I say we go full-blown SWAT team on em and break the couple up," Mercedes suggested.
"Please." Rachel smiled amazed at her friend's creativity. "Something realistic."
"No, I'm serious. That's what Will Smith or Matt Damon or any of those hot action guys would have done. We sneak behind enemy lines and bust them hell up," Mercedes said enthusiastically trying to get her friend to see the greatness of the plan. "And to get behind enemy lines, we must wear the uniform of the enemy."
"We dress as bridesmaids?" questioned Rachel, finally beginning to have faith in the plan.
"Exactly!" Mercedes said throwing her hands up in the air. "I will be dreading every second of this, but it's for Britt."
"But Quinn already has her bridesmaids." Rachel pointed out.
Mercedes nibbled on her lower lip thinking. "We work our way up." Mercedes earned a questioning look from Rachel "We audition to be her wedding singers. She's holding auditions at Breadstix tomorrow. Obviously we'll get it, and when we do we work our way up to her bridesmaids. Rach, the only person we know who needs to be knocked a couple of pegs is Quinn. Britt had the one thing that could make her smile and she took it, so are you really going to let her get away with it?" she challenged.
"Ok, but you really think we can take down Quinn and stop this wedding?"
"We can do anything. You know why?" Mercedes questions. "Because we're 2 sophisticated babes from New York," she admitted. "Or as Mrs. Fabray would say, 'You girls are just a little too thinkie.'"
"I'm starting to like this idea," Rachel admitted. "Quinn is GOING DOWN!"
I was gonna upload Monday but I got Caught up in homework and DWTS (GO AMBER!) but here it is.
I added alittle more backup info on the girls home back in NY. On the show I don't know why Rachel and Brody broke up (I didn't watch much of season 4). I chose Matt for Cedes because, TO ME, Mattcedes happened but wasn't acknowledged on the show.
I added a note to ch.2. It explains the story does begin off as Bram but it won't end that way. I changed the description also (I think putting "Sam", "Brittany", and "back together" in the description chased a few readers away). I've planned everything out so I know how I want it to go. Thank you for reading.
