6AM and Rachel immedietely shot up from her bed. She panics, not remembering exactly what happened before she had passed out the night before. A blush. She remembers now.
Scanning her room to make sure that it was indeed her room, she lets out a sigh of relief. Of course she would be able to trust her Glee mates. Everyone was probably sound asleep.
A certain blonde catches her eye and she feels something get trapped in her throat. What was that? Did she just stop breathing? Shaking her head she finally exhales. Lifting the covers off her body, she grabs a pair of short shorts and a tank top to change into for her morning exercise.
A lot was going through the girl's mind, so a work out was exactly what she needed.
Turning on the machine, she looks over to see if Quinn was still asleep. To her luck, she hadn't stirred at all. Plugging her earphones into her ears and turning on some Lady Gaga, Rachel worked the elliptical like she did every morning.
She was happy, yes, that her party went well and that Finn was civil enough to not make a huge deal about how their recent break up. She was frustrated, though, at the same time with this business regarding Quinn Fabray. From the moment she stepped into her house to the moment they almost kissed. Rachel decides that after today, she'll forget about it, that Quinn will forget about it and that it was just a game.
"Rachel?" a voice calls out after 15 minutes of thinking.
The young diva stops the elliptical when she sees a very sleepy ex-cheerio standing before her.
"Quinn! You surprised me," again.
Turning off the machine, Rachel and Quinn wander over to the brunette's bed to relax a little. One is breathing a bit too heavily, her hair up in a pony tail so all her features can be seen. The other was half awake, and admiring the outift that the other girl was wearing.
"What's going on?" Rachel finally asks, breaking the silence. She had much more to say, to rant about, but she wanted Quinn to say something instead of jumping in to kiss her or tease her any further.
"We're sitting on your bed," Quinn answers simply. The teasing wouldn't stop.
"No, I mean, between us," Rachel brings up, looking at Quinn firmly.
The blonde crosses her legs to sit more comfortably on the bed. There's a smirk on her face that just refuses to move away, "You said it yourself last night," a pause, "We're friends."
Rachel groans.
"That's not...Quinn could you please be kind and stop teasing me?"
Silence, then a snort from the direction of the blonde. Rachel's face was all scrunched up now, demanding some sort of explanation. Quinn of course found this completely adorable.
"Well?" Rachel demands again, inching closer to the blonde to force some sort of reaction. Instead, she was granted a kiss on the nose.
"I'll go prepare some fruit salad for everyone's breakfast," Quinn says, darting towards the door, "You should take a shower, Berry. You stink."
Before Rachel was able to protest in regards to her scent, she remembered something else instead, "There are eggs and bacon in the fridge! Bottom left drawer! Cook those for everyone and I'll make my own breakfast!"
No reply.
With a grumble, Rachel takes her towel before hopping into the shower for a quickie.

"What smells so good?" groans Puck from his sleeping bag. He smelt bacon, something he wasn't allowed to have at home.
"Dear God-" Mike suddenly rose from his sleeping bag in unison with Matt.
"Is that real food I smell?" They didn't even care that they'd usually be asleep for another 2 hours, all they cared was that there were signs of food.
Rachel was in fact a very gracious hostess. She bought eggs and bacon for the group to have the morning after. Quinn rolled her eyes when she found the goods in a bag labelled 'dead chickens and pigs'.
It was 7AM when she finished preparing everything and one by one, the members of the Glee club arose from their sleep. Quinn was quite proud of her work, but grumbled when Rachel didn't let her help out with the fruit salad.
"There are certain proportions that I want and the fruit must be cut in a certain way," was what she said, "You're already making the other food, let me handle this." She was stubborn, like usual.

After breakfast was done, everyone packs their bags and make their way to the door. Rachel stands at the entrance, ready to bid farewell to everyone and well, tell them the date of the next party.
"Okay everyone, my house again in approximately two weeks," she yells out as they file towards her door.
"This was surprisingly fun, Berry," Santana says, dragging Brittany behind her who took a second to hug the smaller girl.
"See you later, Rachel!" she calls out before clinging onto Santana's arm once more.
Kurt was fixing his hair when he walked through the door, nodding at Rachel before saying, "Let's go shopping soon."
Mercedes followed suit, "Yeah, let's go tomorrow, okay? I'll text you the details."
Rachel was practically beaming now, had the party given her points on the coolness scale or something? Oh wait, she was already friends with those two. She still smiles though, it was her first summer hanging out with friends. In all her previous years she'd just wrap herself up in her dance classes and memorizing every line in every musical and playing board games with her fathers. This year was definitely a step up. If it wasn't creepy, she'd probably invite Mr. Schuester as a thanks and to show him that they were getting unified.
"Later Rachel," Matt and Mike say at once before running out the door with the leftover bacon in their hands.
Finn leant over to hug the smaller girl, and she accepted it, "I'll see you later, okay Rach?" When they seperate, Rachel can see the hopeful glint in his eyes. Instead of responding, she nods and waves.
"Yo, Rachel, let's play Strip Poker next time eh? And another round of Truth or Dare sounds good too," Puck says as he casually walks out of the door. Rachel didn't respond, instead she rolls her eyes.
"Later Rachel, thanks for having us," Tina says politely before hugging the brunette and pushing away with Artie.
Rachel takes in a very shallow breath when a hand touches her arm. The feeling was so foreign, but she knew exactly who it was. She turns her head and hazel once again meets brown.
"Bye Rachel," Quinn says simply, walking off without leaving anything else. If she were to look back though, there would be a very mesmerized diva, watching as Quinn's hips moved from side to side.
A/N: I'll get another one up later this week guys. I'm out all day tomorrow and wednesday and thursday. Maybe I'll get one in tuesday and another on friday. It'll be pretty long, then we'll get onto the second party! Yhey! Hopefully I finish this before school starts. Anyway, leave a review, would you loves? Thanks a lot!
