klausgirl4055- Thank you.
The choir room was full of life when Rachel walked in the Monday a week after Sectionals. She was ecstatic seeing her friends back and jamming in the choir room.
"Hey Short-Pint," Santana greeted walking in.
Chuckling, "Hello Santana, how are you this morning?"
"I'm alright, thanks for giving us another shot. However don't be expecting anything I'm still a Cheerio and you're not."
"Wouldn't dream of it," Rachel replied feeling Brittany's arm wrap around her. "Hey, Britt you get home alright last night."
"Yeah, but I have to tell you something later." Brittany replied shooting her Alpha a pointed look.
"All right after school," Rachel mentioned.
Fully walking in, Rachel did a quick sweep of the room, Artie, Finn and Miley were debating Call of Duty, Tess sat with Lily and Caitlyn who were talking with Dallas and Taylor, Kurt, Blaine, Mercedes and Mikayla were catching up, Mike and Sugar were teaching Rory a dance a step, Brittany had skipped over to Tina who was observing her boyfriend, Santana had made her way over to Puck and Sam, the only one missing was Mitchie who wasn't in glee club, but would sing for the Trouble Tones at competitions, and the person Rachel was looking for sat in the corner.
Quinn's nose was buried in a book, her blonde hair swayed as she chewed on the edge of her thumb; her eyes were frantically skimming through the page. Walking as stealthily as she could Rachel plopped down on the seat next to her.
"Hey there beautiful," Rachel whispered into the blonde's ears.
Jumping up slightly from the shock, Quinn closed her book and turned to look at the Alpha.
"Hey," Quinn mumbled back bashfully.
"Hi," Rachel smiled shyly at the blonde.
"I think we've already said hi today," Quinn giggled.
"Yeah, sorry, but I can't think straight when the prettiest girl I've ever met, is sitting right next to me," Rachel charmingly said watching Quinn blush.
"Stop it," Quinn chuckled blushingly.
"Stop what?" Rachel feigned.
"Making me blush and being so flirty," Quinn demanded.
"Why should I?" Rachel challenged.
"Well how about instead you tell me when that date is going to happen?" Quinn asked.
"Soon, very soon," Rachel replied.
"That's not an answer that's avoidance," Quinn taunted.
"What are you talking about Fabray?" Rachel teased.
"You're avoiding the question, Berry. When is that date going to happen?" Quinn pouted.
"I told you soon," Rachel answered.
"Rachel," Quinn moaned out.
"Nope, not going to crack," Rachel stated seeing Quinn start to pout even more.
"Please," Quinn mumbled leaning into Rachel. Her head landing on the brunettes shoulder, her breath hitting Rachel's neck.
"Nope," Rachel answered her resolve starting to snap.
"Yo! Faberry stop being so sexual," Mikayla said to the pair.
"Faberry?" Quinn asked.
"Fabray and Berry, Faberry thought it was better than Quinchel that sounded too much like Finchel," Mikayla answered.
'Thank you.' Rachel mouthed. "Well I like it, Faberry it's got a nice ring to it."
"You owe me," Mikayla muttered and only the wolves could hear causing giggles and chuckles to vibrate throughout the room.
"So guys," Mr. Schue mentioned walking into the choir room. "I have something I need to tell you. It's nothing bad, so don't worry about that in fact I think it's something great."
The room went silent and everyone's attention was on their teacher.
"I'm going to propose to Emma."
All the girls in glee squealed.
"Alright, alright, but here's the thing, I don't know how yet. So here's your weeks assignment. I want all of you to look inside yourself and find the perfect love song. I want you to sing the best love song or the greatest one in your opinion. And to even start you off, Dallas has one. She's been preparing since after Sectionals. So Dallas when you're ready."
"Thanks Mr. Schue. So obviously my song is dedicated to the love of my life, Taylor," Dallas stated walking to the middle of the room. She grabbed the guitar handed to her. "I hope you all enjoy and that you appreciate it. And please don't compare my skills to Taylor's or Miley's I'm not that good."
Stay with me, baby stay with me,
Tonight don't leave me alone.
Dallas walked over towards Taylor and offered her hand as the band strummed for her in the back.
Walk with me, come and walk with me,
To the edge of all we've ever known.
Taking the outstretched hand Taylor allowed her mate to pull her up. She walked with her to the center of the choir room.
I can see you there with the city lights,
Fourteenth floor, pale blue eyes.
I can breathe you in.
Leaning her head in closer, Dallas sung specifically for Taylor. She poured her heart and soul out to the only girl and person who would have it.
Two shadows standing by the bedroom door,
No, I could not want you more than I did right then,
As our heads leaned in.
As Dallas sung the next verse her hands went back to playing the instrument. Her eyes kept directed towards the blonde next to her as walked around her.
Well, I'm not sure what this is gonna be,
But with my eyes closed all I see
Is the skyline, through the window,
The moon above you and the streets below.
Hold my breath as you're moving in,
Taste your lips and feel your skin.
When the time comes, baby don't run, just kiss me slowly.
Repeating the beginning of the song, Dallas led her girlfriend back to her seat.
Stay with me, baby stay with me,
Tonight don't leave me alone.
She shows me everything she used to know,
Picture frames and country roads,
When the days were long and the world was small.
Taking a seat next to her girlfriend, Dallas directed the next verse just to her.
She stood by as it fell apart,
Separate rooms and broken hearts,
But I won't be the one to let you go.
Dallas made sure to keep her eyes locked on blue ones. She kept her promise of not breaking eye contact.
Oh, I'm not sure what this is gonna be,
But with my eyes closed all I see
Is the skyline, through the window,
The moon above you and the streets below.
Hold my breath as you're moving in,
Taste your lips and feel your skin.
When the time comes, baby don't run, just kiss me slowly.
Dallas took a seat next to her girlfriend. And sang with all she had the next verse referring to the blonde's parents. She made sure, that Taylor understood that she'd always be there.
Don't run away...
And it's hard to love again,
When the only way it's been,
When the only love you knew,
Just walked away...
If it's something that you want,
Darling you don't have to run,
You don't have to go ...
Dallas walked back to the middle of the room pulling Taylor up with her.
Just stay with me, baby stay with me,
Well, I'm not sure what this is gonna be,
But with my eyes closed all I see
Is the skyline, through the window,
The moon above you and the streets below. (Don't let go)
Hold my breath as you're moving in,
Taste your lips and feel your skin.
When the time comes, baby don't run, just kiss me slowly.
Dallas stopped playing and looked directly into Taylor's eyes when she sang.
Oh, I'm not sure where this is gonna go,
But in this moment all I know
Is the skyline, through the window,
The moon above you and the streets below. (Baby, don't let go)
Hold my breath as you're moving in,
Taste your lips and feel your skin.
When the time comes, baby don't run, just kiss me slowly.
As the song ended, Dallas put her hands on Taylor's cheeks. She pulled the blonde in for a kiss, but not before whispering softly, "Kiss me slowly."
Their lips met and everyone in the club stared at the couple in awe. Well the girls were trying very, very, very hard to not squeal.
"That was beautiful, Dallas. You can take a seat. So you see guys, that's what I'm looking for, heart. Alright so I'll let you guys go now. Enjoy the rest of your day and I expect at least two performances tomorrow. So everyone prepare," Mr. Schue smiled dismissing the kids.
"Oh my god stop, you guys are actually going to give me cavities," Santana moaned.
"Word, you're more couple-ly than Brittana?" Mikayla mentioned.
"Brittana?" Mercedes asked.
"Brittany and Santana, duh," Tess stated.
"Where do you come up with all of these names?" Kurt questioned turning to look at the Latina.
"Me? I don't know they just come to me," Mikayla answered.
"Oh really so what are they?" Artie questioned.
"Easy, Quinn and Rachel are Faberry, Britt and Lopez are Brittana, Kurt and Blaine are Klaine, Tina and Mike are Tike, but personally I like Asian Fusion better even though it does sound racist. Umm Sam and Mercedes even though they're not 'together' are Samcedes, Tess and Caitlyn even though not a couple are Taitlyn, Miley and Lily-Liley, and Dallas and Taylor are Daylor." Mikayla listed off. "Anyway that was a great performance. Dallas you were really sweet, I thought it was lovely."
"That was so sweet, Dallas. Who knew you were such a dork," Tess teased.
Blushing Dallas, turned to glare at her girlfriend's younger sister. "I'm not a dork."
"Tess, stop it," Taylor chuckled seeing her girlfriends pout start to form,
"What I'm just stating the facts, Tay. Dallas is such a dork when it comes to you. You have her wrapped around your finger."
"Maybe," Taylor smiled turning to look at Mikayla. "Hey Mik, what's the plan for today?"
"I don't know, nothing yet—" Mikayla stopped short as a smell wafted into the room.
"Mik?" Miley asked.
"Rachel," Mikayla turned to look at the brunette who was talking to Quinn.
"Mmm," the brunette replied turning to the other Alpha wolf.
"Umm can I talk to you, it's important," Mikayla stated.
"Yeah, meet at my house, Britt, Tina, Sam, and Sugar are swinging by right now too. I just got to walk Quinn to her car and I'll catch up," Rachel stated. Her pack mates nodded hearing the underlying order.
"Wait I thought you were coming over today," Santana muttered seeing everyone pack up.
"I will, after I meet at Rachel's," Brittany answered.
"Why? Why do you have to go?" Santana demanded.
"I need to, San. I just need to talk to her about something, it'll be quick I swear." Brittany replied.
"Fine," Santana huffed.
"So I'll be seeing you later?" Mike asked Tina as she walked over to the other wolves.
"Mhm, I'll come over after Rachel's." Tina answered sharing an eskimo kiss with her boyfriend.
"Mercedes, I have a song for glee, but it's a duet would you sing it with me?" Sam asked.
Blushing, Mercedes nodded.
"Cool, I'll swing by later, k?" Sam said.
"Sure." The diva responded leaving the school.
"Rach?" Quinn called the girls attention as they made their way to the parking lot.
"Yes Quinn?"
"I don't want to prey, but why do all of you hang out constantly?"
"We're friends, Quinn. And we go through thick and thin together." Rachel answered as they reached the blonde's car. "So I'll call you later?"
"Yes and I expect a time for out date Friday and everything else."
"Actually how about we move the date up to Wednesday, the day after tomorrow?" Rachel proposed.
"Really?" Quinn questioned.
"Do you want to wait until Friday?" Rachel asked.
"No, Wednesday the day after tomorrow will be perfect," Quinn mentioned getting into her car.
"Great, I'll call you to tell you what you need to know," Rachel winked through the open window.
"Okay, great I'll talk to you later," Quinn smiled as she pulled away Rachel watching her.
"Let's go Romeo," Sugar teased walking up to the brunette.
"Remind me why I'm giving you a ride?" Rachel asked.
"Because you love me and my car is in the shop." Sugar answered.
"Because you drove through an unpaved road with very sharp gravel and hit a fire hydrant."
"I didn't mean to, I was occupied!"
"Staring, like a creep may I add, at Harmony's ass."
"Shut up," Sugar grumbled as they reached Rachel's car.
"Will you guys hurry up, I need to meet up with Lily later today," Miley shouted through the parking lot.
"She's totally oblivious to the fact that Lily likes her back almost as bad as Tess is to the fact that Caitlyn is head over heels for her," Sugar mumbled. "She needs to get laid."
Rachel chuckled.
"I HEARD THAT MOTTA!" Miley yelled.
"That was the point!" Sugar shouted back as the two brunette's got into Rachel's car.
"Come on let's go before Miley trashes my car," Rachel stated.
"So where are you taking Quinn on your date?" Sugar asked as they pulled out of the parking lot and onto the road towards Rachel's house.
"That's for me to know and you to ponder," Rachel commented.
"So you have no idea," Sugar summed up.
"NO! I mean I have an idea, but I just don't want to do anything to cliché or cheesy or boring, you know?" Rachel sighed.
"Yeah, I get that, but that doesn't change the fact that you have no idea what you're going to do." Sugar pointed out.
"I hate you sometimes," Rachel muttered. "I know."
"I'm just keeping it real, Rach," Sugar mentioned as they turned onto Rachel's road.
"Please don't ever say that again, it was way too much Santana like and I only need one Lopez in my life," Rachel teased.
Sugar just laughed as the car pulled up into Rachel's driveway, Mikayla's BMW parked two houses down, and Tina's Audi behind them.
Stepping out of the car, Rachel turned and did a scan of her pack, Sugar was next to her, Britt, Sam, and Tina were getting out of the Asian's car, and Mikayla and her pack were making their way over.
"Alright, let's meet—"Rachel's statement was cut short when she got a whiff of the breeze.
Everyone noticed Rachel stop talking and turned to look at her in concern. The short brunette ignored them and turned to look at the forest in her backyard.
"Rach? What's wrong?" Mikayla asked approaching the other alpha.
"Someone's here, a wolf." Rachel answered looking into the trees.
"What are you talking about?" Sam questioned.
"Someone's in the woods," Rachel whispered feeling the hairs at the end of her neck stand up.
Out of the blue, a pale wolf with darker highlights jumped out of the forest knocking Rachel to the ground.
"RACHEL!" Sugar screamed.
"WAIT!" Brittany shouted. "Don't hurt her. She's not going to hurt anyone."
"What the hell are you talking about Brittany?" Miley inquired.
"The wolf won't hurt Rachel." Brittany sighed.
"It just attacked her," Tess pointed out.
"No, Kelly wouldn't do that," Brittany argued only to see her point proven right.
Rachel was flat on her back, the wolf on top of her licking her face.
"KELLY!" Rachel giggled trying to push the wolf off. "Stop, your salvia is unattractive."
The wolf just growled before slobbering over the brunette even more.
"Kelly, I'd appreciate if you let go of my daughter," Shelby said as her own car pulled into the driveway.
The wolf whined as it pulled away.
"And where's your mother?" Shelby asked getting out of the car.
The wolf jerked its head towards the woods, where another pale wolf emerged.
"Hey Holly, just make your way inside, I'll bring down clothes," Shelby dismissed walking past the group of gaping teenagers into the house.
"Way to say hi, mom," Rachel deadpanned walking in behind her mother.
"Hi, sweetie," Shelby smiled handing down a shirt and jeans to the older wolf and a pair of Rachel's clothes to the other wolf.
"Hey Shelby," Tina and Brittany greeted.
"Ma," Sam stated, he'd started referring to the older brunette as mother since moving in. After all, he was like an adopted son.
"Shelby," the other pack greeted.
"Girls, Sam," Shelby mentioned walking into the kitchen where she pulled out oven pizzas and out 3 of them in the oven, before taking out ingredients as making a salad as they waited for other two wolves.
Five minutes later two women came into the kitchen. One was an older blonde, Shelby's age, which five of the students immediately recognized. The other, a younger blonde, her hair was a very, very dirty blonde, she looked around Rachel's age, maybe a year or two older.
"Ms. Holliday!" Sugar asked.
"Coach Holliday?" Dallas asked bewildered.
"Sugar, nice to see you, Dallas, Sam, Tina, Rachel, and Brittany how are all of you?" Holly Holiday inquired.
"We're good; Aunt Holly how was your trip?" Brittany questioned hugging the older blonde.
"Wait Ms. Holliday is your aunt?" Sam demanded confused.
"Yeah, and her daughter Kelly is my cousin," Brittany pointed out to the other girl who walked in.
"Hey Ballerina, T.C., and shorty," Kelly greeted the three girls.
"Hey Kels," Brittany mentioned hugging her cousin.
"K.H." Tina smiled being pulled into a hug.
"Not that short, Kelly," Rachel reprimanded.
"You sure?" Kelly taunted.
"Stop it!" Rachel ordered.
"Who's going to make me," Kelly grinned.
"How about the alpha," Rachel smirked seeing the grin fall off her friends face.
"Wait you're the alpha? Since when?" Kelly questioned.
"Two years in December." Rachel confirmed.
"But how?"
"Well because of my wolf form." Rachel's brows furrowed.
"But, no offense, only purebloods can become blood alphas, and even then, they're purebloods that have decades of pure blood in them. You're a half-blood," Kelly explained.
"Mom is this true?" Rachel asked.
"Well Kelly does bring out a good point, it normally is true." Shelby mentioned looking at her daughter.
"Could that mean, one of my dads' was a pureblood wolf as well?" Rachel stated.
"It could very well mean that," Shelby replied.
"Great now I have to get to the bottom of that!" Rachel whined.
"Not that I'm not enjoying this whole family scene, but would you mind including us, some of us are very confused to what's going on," Mikayla said.
Kelly and Holly turned to look at her, and noticed for the first time all the other wolves there.
"Oh sorry, my names Holly Holliday and this is my daughter Kelly Holliday," Holly introduced.
"We're related to the Pierce's making us part of the pack. You are?" Kelly summarized.
"We're a pack that moved to Lima from L.A. Don't ask why. Anyway my name is Mikayla Anderson-Russo, I'm the alpha. This is my best friend and adopted sister, Taylor Tyler-Anderson. Her girlfriend Dallas Torres and they're my alphas in command. Then there's Tess Tyler-Anderson my other sister, and our friend Miley Stewart." Mikayla presented.
"Cool," Kelly mentioned.
"Dallas," Holly smiled. "I expect to see you tomorrow, for practice."
Dallas only nodded still processing the information.
"Anyway since the food won't be ready in a while and Sam, Tina and Britt have plans along with Miley, how about you tell me what you saw at school and you tell us about you adventures," Rachel suggested.
The younger wolves nodded seeing; Shelby and Holly disappear into the kitchen.
"So who wants to go first?" Rachel asked as they got comfortable in the t.v. room.
"I'll go," Mikayla mentioned. "When we were leaving today, the choir room I got a scent of something. It wasn't a wolf, but it wasn't a human. And I know for a fact is wasn't Azimo."
"Wait you smelt that too?" Rachel questioned.
"Yeah did you smell it today?" Mikayla asked perplexed.
"No, I smelt around a week ago, at Sectionals." Rachel stated.
"You guys aren't the only ones who are smelling supernatural beings," Tess muttered even though everyone heard.
"What are you talking about Tess?" Taylor probed.
"I smelt something in the locker rooms, the Cheerios locker rooms," Tess answered sighing.
"Not only the Cheerios locker room, but the girls' bathroom next to the gym. That's where I normally change because honestly I hate the other girls on the basketball team thinking I'm checking them out. Not the point though, but I've smelt others there. Which is weird since the only other person to change in the bathroom is Lily I think." Dallas brought up.
"You don't think she isn't human, do you?" Taylor answered.
"No, she can't we would've smelt it before hand," Miley sputtered.
"Lily? Lily why does that name sound familiar?" Kelly pondered.
"Her last name is Truscott!" Miley stated.
"Truscott," Kelly repeated before something clicked. "Lillian Truscott cousin to Jesse St. James," Kelly shouted.
At the second names mention, Rachel, Sam, Tina and Brittany turned to look at the older girl.
"How do you know, Jesse?" Rachel questioned.
"I met him at college, sweet boy may I add, killer wolf side though. He's a big wolf showed me around the best places to hunt. He's cocky, but tolerable, he used to be an ass, treated his ex-girlfriend like both a princess and then like shit. Really regrets it. Why?" Kelly listed off.
"I dated Jesse, two years ago, he was a senior and I was a sophomore. I really loved him," Rachel muttered. "I think I always will. Even though he put me through hell and back, I do have a soft spot for him."
"Wow," Kelly breathed out.
"Again sorry to interrupt, but who is Jesse St. James?" Mikayla imposed.
"St. James," Sam growled. "Is Rachel's ex."
"I thought her ex was Finn." Miley commented.
"He is and so is Puck, but Jesse also is an ex." Brittany commented.
"He was a brilliant boyfriend if you ignored his motives," Rachel explained. "I miss him as friend, not a lover any more. How did you meet Jesse? So Tina, Britt, Sam no hard feelings on the boy, please."
"But Rachel," Tina started to say only to be cut off by a shake of Rachel's head.
"Kelly?" Rachel prodded.
"I met him at college."
"College? You're in college." Tess inquired.
"Yeah, just graduated been studying three years straight. I'm a certified teacher in the arts. I'm applying for a job at McKinley. They're looking for a new art teacher, so why not. Anyway I met him in New York. He's studying at NYU or just finished studying and is on break, well sorta. He's come back to his hometown and is going to be coaching his glee club until Nationals to pass his teaching degree. We met at a party, he smelled me out. And we hooked up and had an on and off, thing. Now I feel creepy that a I dated your ex Rachel." Kelly enlightened.
"Wait he's back in Lima?" Rachel muttered sitting down.
"He's from OHIO!" Kelly shouted.
Rachel dumbly nodded.
"Yes, he is. And now that he's back, I am kicking his arse for not telling us he was a werewolf!" Tina said.
"Tina Rose Cohen-Chang, sit you ass back down!" Rachel demanded.
"SO now you remember my name is Cohen-Chang," Tina mumbled.
"I'm sorry," Kelly mentioned after a few moments of silence.
"You didn't know," Rachel waved off. "It doesn't matter because that isn't our problem. Our problem right now is that there is a lose mutt around, a supernatural being at our school and a shapeshifter around town. And we need to know if they're on our side or against humans."
"Shapeshifter?" Tess asked.
"The day of Sectionals or a bit after that, I smelt a shapeshifter. I've only ever known one shapeshifter. His name was Sebastian Sythe and I knew him in elementary, but his smell is familiar." Rachel revealed.
"Sebastian? Like Sebastian Smyth the lead singer to our competition and the guy who is totally crushing on Blaine," Sugar said her two cents.
"Whoa what?" Tina said.
"Yeah, you know how Kurt's been all depressed that's because Blaine's been hanging out with Sebastian." Sugar stated.
"How did I not notice?" Tina questioned.
"Well you had the Mike issue you know about following his career/dream. And not letting his father decide for him, plus you guys got into a major fight," Tess inputted.
"Still," Tina grumbled.
"Anyway so Sebastian is a shapeshifter," Rachel got the conversation on track. "So we watch out for him like we we're watching Azimo. And I want all of us to keep an eye open for anyone else. Dallas I think you might want to keep tabs on Lily. If you've smelt her in there, that also means we should do a background check on the Gellar's and on the Monroe's."
"We don't want any surprises," Mikayla mentioned.
The group of teen wolves nodded.
"Foods ready!" Shelby's voice came from the kitchen.

The glee club applauded Sam and Mercedes' duet as they sat down.
"Not bad guys, not bad at all. So now we've heard Moves like Jagger performed by Artie. So tomorrow Mikayla, Taylor and Tina, Mercedes, Rachel and Santana have a song. Thursday Rachel is singing her solo and Finn and Puck have their songs. But before we end Miley and Tess have a duet."
Miley:
Everybody needs inspiration
Everybody needs a song
A beautiful melody
When the nights are long
Miley and Tess:
'cause there is no guarantee
That this life is easy
When the song started Miley eyes had immediately locked in with Lily's. Green eyes met directly with blue. And when Tess's voice had joined the blonde had searched for the brown eyes of the girl who she was starting to like.
Yeah when my world is falling apart
When there's no light
To break up the dark
Miley:
That's when I, I
I look at you
As Miley sang that verse, she made enfaces and pointed at Lily who only blushed, but grinned in happiness.
Miley and Tess:
When the waves are flooding the shore
And I can't find my way home any more
That's when I, I
I look at you
As the chorus came to an end and Tess' verse was about to start, the blonde moved. She stopped in front of Caitlyn and took her hand. Making the curly haired skank stand up, Tess locked eyes with brown ones.
Tess:
When I look at you
I see forgiveness
I see the truth
You love me for who I am
Like the stars hold the moon
Right there where they belong
And I know I'm not alone
Rachel sat alone on her bed.
Tina had gone over to Mike's dropping Brittany off at Santana's and Sugar home. Sam had taken Rachel's car over to Mercedes' house and would be back later. They had finally decided on re-establishing their close friendship since Shane was still together with Mercedes. Taylor and Dallas were home alone and enjoying their time together, Mikayla had gone for a run, Tess was probably home texting Caitlyn, and Miley had gone to meet up with Lily after the song ordeal from glee. Shelby and Holly had probably gone out to catch up and Kelly was lounging around the Corcoran household again, since they hadn't found a place to live yet.
Reaching over for her phone, Rachel dialed the number.
"Hello?"
"Hey Quinn," Rachel smiled hearing the voice on the other side.
"Oh hey Rach! What's up?"
"Am I interrupting something because you seem busy," Rachel frowned.
"NO! No, no, no, I just wasn't expecting your call this early."
"I can call later," Rachel pouted.
"No, tell me, I'm sorry, I just never know what to say with you."
"Okay then," Rachel smiled deciding to tease Quinn. "So should I call later then? Since you don't know what to say?"
"No, I'm so sorry that wasn't supposed to sound like that. Can we start again?"
"It's fine Quinn. Sure, ready one two three…Hello Quinn," Rachel laughed.
"Hey Rach, what's up?"
"Are you still fine with our date tomorrow night?" Rachel heard and 'mhm' before continuing. "Alright great."
"Okay so what do I wear and what time do I meet you."
"I'll pick you up, we're going after school, and an old pair of jeans you don't care to get dirty, but are comfy and a white t-shirt."
"That isn't extremely attractive."
"Don't worry; I'll be wearing the same. I hope you'll have fun."
"So what are we doing?"
"That's a surprise." Rachel taunted knowing Quinn hated surprises.
"Tell me!"
"You'll have to show up to know. I'm not going to crack and tell you even if you're pouting."
"Fine, but I won't stop pestering! You know how stubborn I am."
"I know, but I'm just as stubborn, babe. So I'd let it go."
"Okay, fine, will I see you tomorrow?"
"You sure will, I'll be picking you up."
"So meet at my house early before school."
"Unless you didn't hear that I'd be picking you up, then sure."
"I'll see you tomorrow."
"I'll see you bright and early."
"Bye Rachel."
"Night Quinn," Rachel hung up.
"So you got a date with a Fabray," Kelly mentioned walking into Rachel's room.
"Yeah, so?" Rachel asked.
"No reason, just didn't know you swing that way," Kelly commented lying on the bed next to Rachel.
"Well I don't, I swing both ways plus it's about who you fall in love with not the gender." Rachel pointed out.
"Well I don't think I could give up dicks for fingers," Kelly argued.
"Well I am perfectly content with Quinn," Rachel stated.
"Alright, alright no need to get defensive, I was just saying."
"Well shut your mouth Kelly," Rachel ordered.
Rachel:
The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
Tina:
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
Tina with Mercedes, Rachel and Santana:
To the dark, and the end of the skies
Mercedes:
The first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hand
Like the trembling heart
of a captive bird
Tina with Mercedes, Rachel and Santana:
That was there at my command, my love
Santana:
And the first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
Mercedes:
And I knew our joy would fill the earth
Mercedes with Rachel, Santana and Tina:
And last, 'til the end of time, my love.
Rachel:
The first time ever I saw
Tina:
Your face
Mercedes:
Your face
Santana:
Your face
Rachel:
Your face
The girls finished the song in the auditorium. They had each the image of the person they held closest to their heart in their memory. Santana thought of Brittany, Mercedes was shocked to find out, but then wasn't when she saw Sam's face, Tina imagined Mike, and Rachel pictured Quinn.
"Beautiful girls," Mr. Schue mentioned. "Aright, Mikayla already wooed us with her version of Crazy for You. So now, Taylor, I believe you're up."
The blonde untangled herself from Dallas before hoping onto the stage. She also brought her guitar and tuned it quickly.
"Alright so I know the assignment was to sing the greatest love song or one that you think is the best, but unfortunately how would that be me. This is a song I wrote after finishing my second year of high school. And like most of my songs, this one is dedicated to Dallas. I hope you like it."
Taylor then took out her pick and started strumming her guitar.
Elevator buttons and morning air
Strangers' silence makes me want to take the stairs
If you were here we'd laugh about their vacant stares
But right now my time is theirs
Seems like there's always someone who disapproves
They'll judge it like they know about me and you
And the verdict comes from those with nothing else to do
The jury's out, my choice is you
So don't you worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
And life makes love look hard
The stakes are high, the water's rough
But this love is ours
Taylor made sure everyone was paying attention. She vaguely noticed Mitchie walk into the auditorium and shoot a glance at Mikayla. Lily lean towards Miley, Caitlyn grab Tess' hand. She noticed, but kept her thoughts closed off and focused on singing to Dallas.
So don't you worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
And life makes love look hard
Don't you worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
But they can't take what's ours
They can't take what's ours
The stakes are high, the water's rough
But this love is ours
"So you ready to go?" Rachel asked as the glee club left the auditorium.
"Yeah, but I have to change and so do you," Quinn pointed.
"Alright then let's go," Rachel smiled as they both walked into the bathroom.
Quinn turned to go into a stall to change while Rachel changed right in front of the sinks. A few minutes later they were both ready dressed in white t-shirts and old jeans.
"Ready?"
"Mhm," Quinn mumbled.
"Something wrong Quinn?" Rachel asked opening the door to her car.
"No, I'm just—why is Sugar riding with us?" Quinn pouted.
"Because her car is in the shop and I promised her a ride," Rachel replied seeing Sugar already sitting in the backseat.
"Oh okay," Quinn mentioned smiling. "Ready."
"Alright then," Rachel grinned closing the door and walking to her side before driving away.
The car ride was silent other that the radio playing lightly in the background and Sugar's phone ringing every time she got a new text message. Twenty minutes later, they reached the Motta household. It was a huge mansion that had the main house, than there was a swimming pool surrounded by a tennis and basketball court, a soccer field in the background and other utilities, and another smaller house.
Pulling up to a stop inside the property, Rachel cut off the engine. Sugar got out and tossed Rachel some keys.
"Everything's ready, try not to have sex. Text me when you're done, so I can have someone clean up. Enjoy and I'll see you later, Rach. Quinn," Sugar mentioned walking up to her house.
"Wait we aren't leaving," Quinn asked.
"Nope," Rachel answered unbuckling her seatbelt and getting out of the car. She walked briskly aorund and opened the passenger door. "Ready?"
"I guess," Quinn said.
"Hey, I promise, it'll be worth it." Rachel smiled.
"Fine," Quinn grinned back.
"K, now c'mon," Rachel stated pulling the blonde towards the smaller house.
Taking the keys Sugar had given her, Rachel opened up the door.
It was a 'small' house of two stories, three if you included the basement and four if you included the roof deck.
"Where are we going?" Quinn questioned following Rachel stunned by how big the house actually was.
"Well the basement is a recording studio and music room, this floor is where most of the sport equipment is kept and a game room along with a huge kitchen and a movie theatre in the back room. Then there's also a roof deck which has a guide on star gazing and all that along with a library. And the third floor is where we're heading," Rachel listed off, heading to the stairs.
"HOLY SHIT! It has an elevator!" Quinn yelled.
"Yeah, but come on, I want to surprise you, so we're taking the stairs," Rachel stated.
The pair climbed up the flight of stairs. They reached the second level or third and were met by three very big rooms. Walking past the first one, Quinn peaked in.
"That's the dark room," Rachel pointed out seeing Quinn's face fill with astonishment.
The two girls passed the next room and Quinn sneaked a glance. "Is this a pottery studio?"
"Yeah that's the pottery studio and wood shop room," Rachel explained, "But we're heading to main art room."
"Art room?" Quinn questioned.
"Yeah," Rachel nodded as they reached the last room. "Here we are."
The room was bare, okay maybe not. On the walls were shelves of art supplies, but they all stood behind a glass panel, those were on the front wall. The floor was covered in canvas paper, long strips and so were the walls. On floor to left of the door were multiple paint cans open and ready to be used. To the right of the door were spray paint cans, brushes, and sponges. Next to those were paintball guns loaded and ready to be used.
"Rachel, what are we doing?" Quinn asked confused.
"Easy we're painting," Rachel smiled.
"As our first date?" Quinn mentioned.
"You'll like it, I swear," Rachel hoped. "Now let's get started."
Rachel walked into the room and headed to the glass panel and slid it open.
"Quinn, may you pass me your phone and wallet," Rachel asked.
The blonde still confused to what they were going to do, handed over her phone, wallet, and iPod over. She studied Rachel set those down inside the glass panel along with the brunette's phone, wallet, keys, and connecting her iPod to a surround system. The room filled with music, but Rachel turned it down a bit.
"You ready?" Rachel inquired turning to the very confused ex-Cheerio and ex-Skank.
"Sure," Quinn mentioned even more jumbled when Rachel handed her a pair of safety goggles, just like the ones they wore in Chemistry their sophomore year. "What are these for?"
"Just put them on," Rachel commanded as she put her own goggles and tied up her hair. "Are they on yet?"
"Mhm," Quinn replied. "Rachel what are–"
Her sentence was cut short when she felt something cold collide with her stomach. She looked down to see a giant blob of blue paint dripping from her shirt onto her pants and onto the floor. Lifting her gaze up, Quinn looked only to see a very smug grinning Rachel staring at her with mischief and innocence in her eyes. Shifting her eyesight a tiny bit lower she was met by Rachel's right had covered in blue paint.
Narrowing her eyes, Quinn muttered. "You did not just throw paint on me?"
"I think I did," Rachel laughed. "You should have seen your face, Quinn."
Growling slightly Quinn turned to her right and found a paint can filled with neon green paint and sponge next to it. Reaching for the sponge and grabbing it she then dove her right hand into the paint soaking up the sponge.
"You're going to pay for that, Berry," Quinn stated throwing the sponge at the laughing diva.
Rachel stopped laughing as soon as the sponge hit her straight in the face. Her mouth dropped open.
"Isn't as funny now is it?" Quinn taunted.
"Oh it's on," Rachel smiled dipping her hands into the pink and red paint next to her before sprinting towards Quinn.
The ex-Cheerio stood still watching Rachel approach. She didn't have time to react when the diva's hand met her cheeks.
Mouth agape, Quinn blushed. "IT'S SO ON!"
Quinn then dove for a paint ball gun and turned to look at the smaller girl who was chuckling. Rachel's eyes landed on the gun.
"You wouldn't?" Rachel whispered.
"Oh I would," Quinn grinned pulling the trigger.
The blonde chased the brunette with the gun, paint balls hitting the target and the wall. Rachel reached the other side of the room and reached out for a water gun that was loaded with bright yellow paint.
"Bring it on Fabray," Rachel stated turning around to a wide eyed, Quinn.
The yellow paint sprayed the blonde across the torso and decorated the back wall.
The pair of girls continued their paint war. Sponge flew throughout the room, paint streaks strewn on the walls and floors, empty cans stood and full cans spilled, and the two girls were covered head to toe in paint.
Around two hours later Quinn collapsed on the floor her back hitting a paint covered area, She was out of breath and out of ammo, her sneakers were covered in different paints and her pants soaked with blue, yellow and other colors, her white shirt was drenched with mixes of dyes, her face dried with red, pink and yellow. And her hair, don't even get her started with her hair, her golden blonde locks, a bit above the shoulder length hair was matted with tint. Closing her eyes Quinn took a deep breath, a huge mistake.
Rachel approached the girl with her last bit of ammo; she held a small paint bottle filled with neon orange paint. Kneeling next to the blonde Rachel's finger ghosted over the shirt, carefully she opened the bottle and started designing.
Quinn's eyes shot wide open; when she felt more, cold paint hit her stomach. Starting to squirm, Rachel stopped and turned to look at her.
"Wait, I promise this is it," Rachel said before going back to her art work.
Trusting the brunette, Quinn shot her a glance over, Rachel was also covered in paint, her clothes were so mixed you couldn't see were one color began or ended. The brown hair that had been tied up for protection was covered with greens, blues, reds and purples, her face also had splatters of colors specifically neon green. Yet she still looked gorgeous in Quinn's eyes.
"What are you staring at?" Rachel questioned.
"Nothing," Quinn blushed.
"Really?" Rachel chuckled, imitating Quinn's eyebrow raise.
"No, I was just distracted by the most beautiful girl in front of me," Quinn flushed at her comment.
Blushing, Rachel smile softened, "Well I'm lucky to be able to see the prettiest girl I've ever met every day and have the honor to call her my girlfriend."
"Girlfriend?" Quinn asked.
Rachel nodded before standing up and offering her hand to help the blonde stand up.
Nodding, Rachel cleared her throat and guided Quinn towards the glass panel that was covered in paint, but still had some clean areas. On the glass, you could reflect what Quinn's shirt said, it was a bunch of letters that when reflected spelled out a simple message.
Lucy Quinn Fabray, will you do the honor of becoming my girlfriend? ~ Rachel Barbra Berry-Corcoran
A smile broke out on Quinn's face and tears gathered in the corner of her eyes.
Slowly Quinn turned to look at Rachel, "Yes."
Rachel grinned, "Can I kiss you?"
"You never have to ask," Quinn replied leaning in.
Their lips met for the second time.
The kiss was different than the first one they shared. Instead of feeling the need to go farther, this one was much slower and sensual. They relished all the corners of their mouths, studied each other's tongues, and savored the tastes they grow to love. Rachel's arms wrapped around Quinn's waist and Quinn let her arms fall onto Rachel's shoulder while toying with her brown locks.
Moments later, they pulled apart resting their heads together.
Rachel's eyes fluttered open and were soon met by hazel swirls.
"Hey," Rachel whispered her breath hitting Quinn's lips.
"Hi," the blonde said shyly biting her lower lip.
"That was amazing," Rachel said breathlessly.
"Mhm," Quinn sighed going in for another kiss.
Rachel met her halfway through and they both continued to kiss each other, their kisses still slow and full of feeling.
"I should drive you home," Rachel said after they had continued kissing.
Quinn shook her head, but nodded in the end. "Yeah."
"Come on then," Rachel mentioned walking back to the glass panel and retrieving their things along with something else.
The pair walked down the hall and stairs onto the driveway, their clothes now dry.
Getting into the car, Rachel grabbed Quinn's hand and drive with the other music playing on radio. Turning it up slightly they noticed that it was dark, the sun had just set.
"I love this song," Quinn mumbled.
Rachel focused on the lyrics, surprised Quinn liked it.
I will never be the same without you.
"You like Usher?" Rachel questioned.
"Not particularly, I love this song though. It's not particularly romantic with its tempo or beat, but the lyrics. Some say there bull, but knowing that without someone you truly aren't the same is both magical and insane. Anyway I wish that it was true, you know, and that someone can love you that much. I must sound insane," Quinn explained. "You can ignore everything I said and pretend nothing I said mattered."
"No don't cut yourself off," Rachel argued looking at Quinn before focusing back on the road. "It isn't insane; in fact I think it's amazing that someone would love you that much. Never let anyone tell you that you can't or shouldn't think like that."
Quinn smiled softly at the diva and squeezed her hand. "You're amazing, do you know that?"
"No, you're the amazing one," Rachel replied pulling up into the Fabray driveway. "Looks like you have company."
Quinn turned her gaze to look at what Rachel was talking about, in her driveway two cars were parked, one was her mother's and the other was Santana's.
"I should go inside," Quinn mentioned.
"Yeah, I'll walk you," Rachel responded shutting the engine and walking to the passenger seat to open the door. The paired walked silently to the door both lost in thought, but they held hands. Reaching the front door, Quinn turned to look at Rachel.
"I had a great time," Quinn mumbled.
"Me too," Rachel smiled.
"I get the next date," Quinn grinned.
"I look forward to it," Rachel said softly.
"So I'll see you tomorrow?" Quinn asked.
"Bright and early," Rachel answered.
"Okay," Quinn giggled pushing a golden lock covered in paint back.
"You're beautiful," Rachel whispered leaning in to kiss the blonde.
They shared a sweet kiss before pulling away. Quinn fumbled with her keys looking at Rachel before she managed to open the door.
"I'll see you tomorrow," Quinn smiled as she opened the door.
"I'll be here, princess," Rachel stated. "Goodnight, Quinn."
"Night, Rachel." Quinn said watching the brunette make her way into her car.
The blonde didn't close the door until she saw Rachel pull out and drive away.
"Lucy Quinn Fabray, where have you been?" Judy Fabray asked walking into the hallway. "And what in the world happen to you hair and clothes?"
Not really paying attention, Quinn closed the door leaning on it before letting out a sigh.
"Lucy!" Judy scolded.
"Hi mom," Quinn replied giddily noticing her mother for the first time.
"Where have you been young lady," Judy asked again not noticing the faraway spark in her daughter's eyes.
"Mmm, oh, I'm sorry did you say something?" Quinn questioned distractedly she felt like she was floating.
"I asked where you have been," Judy stated.
"I was with Rachel," Quinn answered smiling even more at her friends-no girlfriend's name.
"Judy was that Quinn?" Santana yelled.
"Yes, Santana," Judy replied seeing Santana and Mercedes walk in from the living room.
"Is she okay?" Mercedes asked seeing her friend looking like an idiot.
"I don't know," Judy shrugged perplexed by her daughter's attitude. "It's like she's on another planet."
"What the hell happened to her clothes and hair?" Santana shrieked.
"That's a very god question," Judy commented.
"Q?" Mercedes mentioned stepping up the smiling blonde.
"Cedes?" Quinn smiled, "What are you doing here?"
"I came over to talk, you weren't answering your phone so I called Santana and we came over. Are you feeling okay?"
"Okay, I'm feeling great. I'm better that great, I'm-I'm- I'm fantastic," Quinn grinned.
Mercedes turned to look at Judy shooting her a "What the fuck?" look. Judy looked just as confused.
"Oh my god! You got laid! You totally got laid," Santana shouted.
Quinn only shook her head before turning to the Latina.
"No I didn't! However I just had the best date of my life," Quinn stated.
"WAIT WHAT WITH WHOM?" Mercedes shouted!
"I'd like to know as well," Judy intervened.
"Yeah I want to know who managed to turn Quinnie Fabray into a mess," Santana commented.
Quinn blushed before mumbling two words. "Rachel Berry."
"Who?" Mercedes asked.
"We didn't hear, speak up Quinnie," Judy inquired.
"Tell us Q!" Santana demanded.
"Rachel Berry," Quinn said.
"BERRY!" Santana yelled!
"Rachel!" Mercedes shrieked.
"The singer from glee club?" Judy mentioned.
Quinn only nodded before sighing again, "It was perfect, mom. She's amazing."
"I can see that," Judy stated.
"Well what did she do to get you this dirty?" Mercedes questioned.
"We went to Sugar's house. It's huge like huge. Anyway she took me painting, but not like Sam. No we had a full out paint war, it was awesome, fun and original. So far best date, I've ever had."
"Paint war?" Judy asked.
"Mhm, it was simply perfect," Quinn sighed hearing her phone ring.

"QUINN!" Santana and Mercedes shouted.
Jumping from the shock, Quinn turned to look at her friends. "What?"
"Was that Berry?" Santana asked.
"Yes," Quinn smiled looking at her background.
"Damn you must really like her," Mercedes said.
Quinn only nodded before turning to her mom, "This is okay right? Me liking a girl, you aren't going to kick me out are you?"
Judy only sighed, "No, Quinn. I'm not your father. You will be loved no matter what. Plus, you've liked Rachel for a while. It's fine, now go upstairs shower and come down for dinner. Santana and Mercedes will be joining us."
Quinn smile grew and she tackled her mom in a hug before running up to her room forgetting her phone.
Reaching over Santana grabbed it and unlocked it.
"What are you doing?" Mercedes questioned.
"Obviously looking to see what Rachel sent her to know what distracted her," Santana explained seeing Mercedes stare at her weirdly. "What?"
"You called her Rachel," Mercedes mentioned.
Santana shrugged, "She's growing on me…shit! Damn, Berry got skill."
"WHAT! Let me see!" Mercedes squealed stealing a glance at the pictures.
"Mom have you seen my phone!" Quinn's voice drifted through the house.
Rachel made it back to her house in one piece after dropping Quinn off. Sending a text to Sugar that the room could be cleaned now, Rachel parked her car and walked inside.
"What the hell happened to you?" Kelly asked seeing a paint covered Rachel walk in.
"This, nothing," Rachel replied only to bump into her mother.
"I do hope you aren't expecting me to clean that?" Shelby muttered.
"Nope, I'll do it tomorrow," Rachel spoke.
"Fine," Shelby answered. "Go change, dinner will be ready in half an hour."
Rachel nodded before rushing upstairs, once in her room she pulled out her phone.
New text message to Princess Q.
Check these out. And the email has the video.-Rachel*
Attachments: 5 Pictures
Sending off the text Rachel turned on her computer and downloaded from the usb she had taken from Sugar's security system, the entire date. While she waited for the download to complete, Rachel phone dinged.
New text from Princess Q.
How did you get these?-Q
New text to Princess Q.
That's for me to know, princess. Goodnight, I'll see you tomorrow. ;)-Rachel*
New text from Princess Q.
See you xoxo.-Q
Smiling at the last text Rachel quickly emailed Quinn the whole date and saved it to her computer. Grabbing a towel and clothes, Rachel hoped into the shower.
"So who's ready to sing? Rachel, you're up first," Mr. Schue announced.
"Before I start I just have something to say. The song I chose to sing wasn't exactly my first choice, but after having a conversation with someone became the ideal song. Throughout life you meet many people and most of them are just a second glance nothing more. However there will always be that one person who means more than anything. Someone who makes you better and that without them, you truly aren't ever the same. I've heard people say that's ridiculous, that you can't love someone as much and expect to be completely incomplete. I disagree, I know or I believe for a fact that once you've met your one, you can't ever be the same without them. So here it goes and I hope you enjoy," Rachel breathed out before hearing Brad start playing on the piano and the violins join in.
I can't win, I can't reign
I will never win this game
Without you, without you
I am lost, I am vain,
I will never be the same
Without you, without you
I won't run, I won't fly
I will never make it by
Without you, without you
I can't rest, I can't fight
All I need is you and I,
Without you, without you
Rachel turned to look around the room, she saw how Taylor and Dallas leaned in closer, Lily shoot a small shy smile at Miley, Caitlyn reach over for Tess' hand, Sugar move to the beat, Rory and Artie shoot meaningful glances at the brunette, Finn smile at her, Santana and Brittany snuggle closer, Tina rest her head against Mike's chest, Sam smile widely at Mercedes, Blaine and Kurt share a loving look, Puck move his head to the rhythm, and finally look over to Quinn.
Oh, oh, oh!
You! You! You!
Without...
You! You! You!
Without...you
I can't erase, so I'll take blame
But I can't accept that we're estranged
Without you, without you
I can't quit now, this can't be right
I can't take one more sleepless night
Without you, without you
Quinn was smiling and looking directly at Rachel. Their eyes never left each other. She was leaning on her knees, her chin resting on hands. And for Rachel it seemed like everyone else had faded away and only Quinn remained. She sung as if the room was bare except for Quinn. Dedicating everything in the song and in herself to Quinn. Because vaguely in the back of her mind, Rachel knew this was it. That Quinn was her mate, her one and only, the love of her life. And she couldn't be happier.
I won't soar, I won't climb
If you're not here, I'm paralyzed
Without you, without you
I can't look, I'm so blind
I lost my heart, I lost my mind
Without you, without you
Oh, oh, oh!
You! You! You!
Without...
You! You! You!
Without...you
I am lost, I am vain,
I will never be the same
Without you, without you
Without...you
As Rachel ended the song she ambiguously heard Mr. Schue state that the song was nice. All she could focus on was Quinn walk up to her and wrap her arms around her.
"Sure it was nice, but since when is this the Rachel Berry show?" Santana's sarcastic comment made Rachel roll her eyes and Quinn to groan.
"Guys I have the song, and thankfully Sam helped me drag the swim team into this and they're willing to help up perform. I need to main vocalist and I already have a good idea of who they are. Rachel what you said yesterday really inspired me and reminded my why not all songs done today are bad so I want you to take part of the lead. And Santana I want you take the other, you deserve it." Mr. Schue mentioned the following day.
Rachel met Santana's eye and they smiled before nodding.
Rachel:
Yellow diamonds in the light
Now we're standing side by side
As your shadow crosses mine
What it takes to come alive
It's the way I'm feeling I just can't deny
But I've gotta let it go

We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place

"Emma will you marry me?" Will asked the guidance counselor.
"Yes," Emma shouted throwing herself onto the soaked man.
"Hey," Taylor whispered walking into the gym.
"Hi," Dallas replied seeing her girlfriend walk in.
"You wanted to talk?" Taylor questioned sitting down on the bench on the sidelines next to Dallas bag.
"Yeah," Dallas replied walking towards her girlfriend.
Reaching inside her bag for a towel to wipe herself off Dallas sat down next to Taylor.
"Any day soon would be good, Dallas," Taylor smiled.
"Right," Dallas chuckled wiping her neck with the towel. "Umm Taylor, I love you. I've known since forever that I'd love you. And I don't know if it's been this past week or the past few or even this whole school, but it's got me thinking. I don't exactly know what I want to do with my life unlike you or Rachel or Sugar or Mikayla, but that's not the point. What I do know, what I'm certain of, is the fact that I'm never leaving your side. That you're my constant so if you go to New York or Los Angeles or Chicago or hell even Tennessee, I'll follow because I can't be without you. Rachel's song really got me thinking, and I know what I'm about to say may sound crazy and it is, but it feels right."
Dallas stopped to take a breath and shot a nervous glance at Taylor. Taylor was staring at her girlfriennd in both amusement and confusion.
"Dallas what are you trying to say?"
"Taylor, you've known me my whole life. My ups and my downs and I knew since that day in middle school when you said yes that you'd be my forever. Of course that wasn't confirmed til a few years later, but that didn't stop me. I've been working since freshmen year on this and it's cost me my whole paycheck and a few allowances here and there, but it's worth it."
Dallas stopped before reaching into her bag and pulling out a small black velvet box, Taylor's eyes widened.
"Tay, I guess what I'm trying to say is this. I know we're young and we have our whole lives ahead of us, but I know for a fact that we're going to spend it together. And I know this may sound bizarre, but I think we're ready at least we're ready for a promise."
Dallas then bent down on one knee in front of Taylor and pulled her hand out while simultaneously opening the small black box. Taking a deep breath, Dallas turned to look into pure blue eyes.
"Taylor Alison Tyler-Anderson, will you do me the honor of making me the happiest woman on earth and marrying me?"
