Maybe it was because she was so mad, or maybe it was because she realised she finally had someone in her life that seemed to genuinely like her, she didn't really know the reason, but she did know it was vital she speak to Quinn now.
Yanking her phone from her pocket she pulled up Quinn's number and hit call. As she listened to the dial tone she breathed slowly to try and calm her nerves. She was terrified Quinn would say no.
"Hello?" Quinn's voice answered.
"Hey Quinn, I was wondering if maybe you might want to go out with me?"
"Go out with you?"
"Yeah. Like on a date." Silence. Rachel was just starting to panic when;
"Are you sure about this Rachel? I meant what I said about us being friends regardless." Rachel smiled, it was just like Quinn to think of her feelings first.
"Yes Quinn I know that, but I want to go out with you."
"Then I would love to go on a date with you, Rachel Berry." Rachel barely let out a shriek of relief, but did allow herself a victory dance, not caring that she was on the sidewalk of a busy street and not caring that there was people watching her, she was too happy.
"Awesome. So tonight?" Rachel asked when she finally calmed down enough to speak.
"Yeah tonight sounds great. Should I meet you at your place?"
"Yeah, say 7?"
"Ok, 7. And Rachel, I'm really looking forward to it." Rachel's smile grew bigger.
"Me too Quinn." Hanging up the phone, Rachel started toward home, barely fighting the urge to dance and sing her way there.

Rachel sat on her couch twitching with nerves and excitement. She was so happy to be spending the evening with Quinn she made Rachel feel special, in a way nobody had ever made her feel. Just when she was ready to jump up from the couch and belt out a rendition of 'Don't Rain on My Parade', she heard a knock at the door. In her excitement she sprints over to the door, almost knocking over a vase in the process. Standing in front of it she takes a deep breath, patted down her hair and dress and opened the door to find...Finn standing on her doorstep.
"Finn, what are you doing here? I thought I made it clear to you this afternoon that I'm done with you?" Rachel demanded, hands on hip.
"Don't say that; Rach baby, don't give up on us."
"Give up! Give up!"Rachel was now so mad she was having a hard time forming a full sentence, a rarity for the diva. Breathing in a deep breath, she brought her hand up and poked him in the chest.
"Give up on us?! How dare you Finn Hudson! How dare you! Get this through your head, there is no us and there never will be an us aga-" Her rant is cut off by Finn swooping down and placing his lips on hers, his hands coming down on her arms and pulling her closer. In complete shock, Rachel is frozen as Finn kisses her until out of the corner of her eye she sees Quinn staring at her from the driver's seat of her car, an expression of deep hurt on her face. Bringing up her hands Rachel pushes Finn back and runs down the steps, but it's too late, Quinn has already driven off.
