A/N: Puckleberry as always, mentions of Quartie and minor Fuinn and Finchel but no Quick/ Shelby and Beth.
Prompt: AU Rachel can't sleep during the nights before/during nationals in NYC so who does she talk to?
Starts with a text conversation:
3.00 AM- Hey are you asleep?
3.01- No I'm scuba diving, what the fuck do you want?
She was finally in New York.
Not on Broadway or anything like that because she's still only seventeen, but she's here because The New Directions have finally made it to Nationals and you've guessed it Nationals are in New York this year, Rachel wasn't the only one who was happy the rest of her Glee team mates were too.
This wasn't a dream they had actually made it.
So this is how she finds herself awake at 2.53 AM in her New York hotel room wide awake, Rachel Berry didn't do getting nervous or stage fright, so what the hell was this?
She shoots a look to other side of her room where Kurt, her best friend out of the Glee club is fast asleep, the excitement of being out in New York has worn him out, talk of Breakfast At Tiffany's especially, it brings a small smile to her face as she climbs out of her bed and heads towards the bathroom, trying to be as quiet as possible not to wake Kurt up because she knew just like herself Kurt had a routine too, even though hers is clearly out of sync.
The second the cold water hits her face, it's the sudden realization she's in New York and she's actually terrified.
Her hand are shaking, her palms are sweaty and her knees feel weak, she somehow makes it back to her bed, pulling her phone off the bedside table to send a message at this late hour.
3.00 AM- Hey are you asleep?
She doesn't have to wait long for his response, a few seconds later her phone vibrates in her hand, the screen lights up with his name.
3.01 AM- No I'm scuba diving, what the fuck do you want?
She should have known she'd get that kind of response from him as they aren't really friends, everyone just tolerates her even him even if he claims he "kind of likes her"when Santana shouted at her the other day.
So she manages to type out a response without any tears in her eyes.
3.03 AM- Sorry to have disturbed you Puck. Night.
She closes her eyes feeling more alone than ever.
She feels another vibration, she's received another text from Noah.
3.05- Sorry Berry, don't be like that, what's up? you ok?
She stares at her text for a minute contemplating what to put as a reply while wondering if he even cared.
3.07- Rachel, talk to me please? Other wise I will start knocking on every door until I find you, don't think I won't do it.
Comes another message because of her lack of reply to his previous message.
3.08- Don't you dare Noah!
She types out her lame reply, less than a minute later she receives another text back.
3.09- What's wrong? Why aren't you asleep?
She smiles, maybe he does care.
3.10- Can't sleep. Too nervous I think?
She types back quickly.
3.12- Rachel Berry nervous? Never thought I'd see the day.
Comes his reply, she knows he's teasing her she knows he is.
3.13- No need to be nervous, we all know you can do this in your sleep. Seriously.
She smiles, he's being sweet, maybe he is turning over a new leaf.
3.14- If you really can't sleep you can come to my room and help me sleep because woman you are driving me insane.
The smile on her face fades.
3.15- Noah!
She sends his name as a warning she's annoyed at him.
3.16- Don't Noah me miss innocent, you know it's only right if you text a guy after 3 AM that its a naughty pic ;)
Why was her heart racing over his dirty texts?
3.17- I'm going to sleep now. Night.
She types out quickly, she needed out of this conversation now.
3.18- No you don't, you woke me up Berry. Room 217 10 minutes.
He replies and she knows she shouldn't be doing this.
3.19- Noah, I don't think this is a good idea.
She types her response.
3.20- It definitely is. You Have 8 minutes Berry before I come and find you.
Comes his reply and she knows she's screwed.
3.21- Fine.
She's giving in because she knows Noah with actually come and find her and he'd wake Kurt up and she didn't want Kurt in a bad mood with her definitely not in New York anyway.
3.22- See you in 6 minutes.
She already knows he'll be smirking when she goes down to his room and she wants to hit him already.
She makes sure she looks presentable as she will ever be at 3.24 Am, as she slips on some black pumps to match the rest of her outfit as she makes her way out of her room quietly opting to take the stairs just in case she sees anyone she knows in the lifts at this time of the morning, she was staying on the third floor and he's on the second floor so it doesn't take her long to reach her destination.
Should she knock? Should she text him to say she's here? She wonders as she stands outside of room 217.
She doesn't have much time to do anything as the door swings open and he appears smirking like she knew he would be, wearing a pair of blue basketball shorts with no shirt out and all she can do is gulp and stare at him, Rachel's not blind she knows Noah had a good body underneath all of the clothes he wears but she never expects what she sees, he's utterly gorgeous she can't think straight.
"Fucking get in here already Berry" He mummers, reaching out for her hand pulling her into the room, it's dark, she can hardly see anything the moment the door closes behind them, the only thing she feels is Noah pressed up behind her, one of his arms wrapped around her waist directing her towards his bed.
It's soft, his skin that's what flashes through her mind, as she finds herself being consumed by him and the warm duvet in the bed, he's pressed up close to her, his chest to her back, his arm still wrapped around her waist securely.
"We're in New York Berry relax" Is what he whispers in her ear, she leans back against him as he kisses the side of her neck, she gasps quietly as she feels his teeth scrape the side of her neck before he kisses it again, she knows he's going to leave a mark.
He mummers a goodnight against her skin, she feels his arm tense up around her pulling her closer to him even if that was possible at the point before she hears his breathing even out in her ear a few moments, she smiles and closes her eyes allowing sleep to take over her.
Her phone is vibrating again, she's had enough of that sound the past couple of hours, her eyes flutter open almost instinctively, it's still dark she notes, it's 7.03 AM, she notices the name on the screen she scrambles to pick up her phone that is resting beside her on the bed.
"Kurt" She whispers suddenly very aware that Noah is still asleep and also whoever his room mate was they'd be sleeping too.
"Diva! Where are you?" Kurt Screeches down the phone, the concern laced in his tone of voice.
"I just went out for a walk, I couldn't sleep, I will be back in a few minutes" She says quietly, attempting to release herself from Noah's arm to no avail at the moment.
"Good, Sorry I woke up and you weren't around I was worried" Kurt says and she can hear him let out the breath he was holding through the phone.
"I'm good Kurt, thank you for worrying about me" She says smiling.
"See you in a few Diva" He replies hanging up shortly after.
"Babe, where are you going? It's early, like really early" She hears a voice behind her, she turns her head over her shoulder to see Noah sitting up on the bed behind her and damn if he didn't look cute when he was half asleep.
"I have to go meet Kurt before he thinks I've been kidnapped" She replies, her fingers trailing over his hand he's still resting against her against her waist, she can hear him moan as she moves.
"Babe really? You wake me up twice and now you are leaving me?" He asks he sounds almost hurt, but this is Noah Puckerman the ultimate player there is no way he is hurt right?
"Noah, I'm sorry I have to go, I'll see you at rehearsals ok?" She says quietly kissing his forehead releasing herself from his grip to put her shoes back on.
"Later Berry" She hears from behind her, she bites her lip as she watches him lower himself back down onto the bed, his chest is amazing, she shakes her head, what was she thinking?
"Bye" She says her eyes widen as she realizes who's in the next bed to where she'd been sleeping with Noah.
She's out the door faster than a hot potato as she makes her way back to her room with Kurt.
"I thought you went for a walk Diva?" Kurt asks as soon as he sees her.
"I did" She replies.
"In your Pajamas?" He asks raising his eyebrow as he looks over her outfit- a skimpy set of black shorts and a baby pink camisole with an unzipped black hooded jacket.
"I couldn't sleep Kurt, I had to do something" She replies.
"You should have just called that Neanderthal Puckerman, he would have happily helped you sleep" Kurt says and he can see his best friend blushing at his innuendo, he's surprised she got it to be honest, this was Rachel Berry possibly the most innocent girl he knew and that's coming from him a teen gay who'd never kissed anyone other then Brittany one time to try and pretend to his dad he wasn't gay.
"Diva go have a shower and get changed, we are going for breakfast" Kurt carries on rushing her into the bathroom, Rachel lets out a breath once she's in the bathroom, Kurt mentioning Noah Puckerman was not what she expected, when she looks in the mirror she sees her face is a flushed pink.
Damn him, she thinks as she takes a step closer to the mirror she sees Noah Puckerman's handy work, a small purple mark on the left side of her neck where his teeth had been scraping and his lips had been sucking on a few hours previously.
Once she's showered and changed her and Kurt are heading out earlier than the rest of the Glee kids to go and do Breakfast At Tiffany's trying to put Noah Puckerman to the back of her mind, which was harder said than done.
Rachel smiles at Kurt as they are outside Tiffany & Co, she didn't feel nervous at all being in New York with Kurt, so what was last night about?
They spoke for about an hour about coming back to New York after graduation, they even sneak on to the Wicked stage and sing "For Good" as a duet before they have to literally run back to the hotel to get changed to meet the group for Nationals rehearsals, well prep time to write songs, they were two days away from Nationals.
Kurt and Rachel were the last two people to reach the rehearsal/ prep class, this didn't go unnoticed by some one in the room, as Rachel looked over towards the window and found a certain member of the glee club smirking over at her, his eyes moving down to her neck, raising his eyebrow when he sees she's wearing a turtle neck dress, her hands smooth down her skirt as she sits down on a chair next to Kurt and Tina, picking up a rhyming dictionary, still feeling his eyes burning into her.
Mr Schuester asks if any one has come up with any ideas yet, which no one seemed to have any ideas yet, that is when Mr Schuester actually came up with a good idea, the children go and visit Central Park, obviously under the supervision of him and the other supervisors. Everyone was excited, Kurt was extremely excited he squealed, jumping up and grabbing Rachel's arm pulling her up with him, both of them beaming.
The New Directions are scattered about Central Park, which isn't that far a walk away from the hotel they were staying at, Rachel finds herself sitting on a bench watching her fellow Glee club members laughing and joking about.
"Yo Berry" She hears him before she feels his arm around the back of bench, pressing her closer to him.
"Noah I really wish you'd use my real name just sometimes, you know what it is right?" She asks sarcastically.
"The real question is why are you wearing a turtle neck when it's so hot out here?" Noah asks, as he tries to peel her turtle neck down.
"You know exactly why I am wearing it Noah" Rachel says smacking his hand away.
"I can always give you a matching one so it doesn't look outta place" He says leering at her.
"Noah!" She moans, turning to hit his shoulder.
"I can't wait to hear you scream that later" He says smirking, before she watches him join the rest of the football guys from the Glee club to throw a ball about, Rachel is left wondering why he didn't tell her his room mate in the hotel was Finn, especially after Rachel dated Finn for a few weeks, what if he had seen them together?
Would Finn even care now he was dating Santana?
Rachel kept getting distracted by watching them, she didn't know how long they had been at Central Park for, but it was Quinn's voice who broke her out of her distracted state of mind.
"Rachel?" Quinn asked, stepping towards her, "Rachel? Are you ok?" The blonde girl places her hand on Rachel's arm, that's when Rachel blinked up, "Sorry Quinn, you were saying?" Rachel asked the girl in front of her.
Quinn smiled across at her, "It's time to go back to the hotel" She says nodding towards the rest of the group, which causes Rachel to stand up and follow Quinn, Rachel's shocked when Quinn links arms with her, "Maybe you can help me try and write some songs when we get back to the hotel, if you want?" The blonde girl asks her.
"Yeah ok Quinn" Rachel says smiling across at Quinn as they rejoin the rest of the New Directions.
Rachel doesn't know what's weirder today- her and Noah's interactions or the fact her and Quinn were hanging out alone in her hotel room, Quinn's actually a pretty cool girl and knew a lot about music, why didn't they hang out more? Oh yeah Finn.
Because everyone wanted Finn.
Awkward because neither girl wanted him now.
"I think I like Artie" Quinn blurts out about half an hour later
"What?" Rachel replies.
"As in really like him and I don't know what to do" The blonde girl says, she's wringing her hands nervously, looking up at Rachel.
"Why? I mean why don't you know what to do? You're Quinn Fabray" Rachel replies confused.
"I mean do you ever think people look at you and judge who you are and who you are supposed to be with?" Quinn asks looking right at Rachel as if Rachel knows what she's talking about.
"All the time" Rachel agrees.
"I mean me and Finn people saw that, you and Finn not so much, no offense, I was just giving an example" Quinn says no malice in her voice at all.
"I know Quinn, the guy I like now we'd never be seen together because I'm the obnoxious freak" Rachel says sadly, quietly unlike herself.
"You aren't a freak at all Rachel" Quinn responds.
"I've heard you say it before" Rachel says shrugging her shoulders.
"That's before I knew you" Quinn says softly.
"So you and Artie, since when?" Rachel asks.
"I don't know a couple of weeks?" Quinn says shyly, a bit unsure.
"So the guy you like? Anyone I know?" Quinn asks trying to change the subject.
Rachel doesn't reply she excuses herself to go to the bathroom, Quinn knows it's a stall tactic as the brunette walks away.
A couple of minutes after Rachel has excused herself to go to the bathroom, her cellphone which she has left on the bed where she had been sitting, it starts vibrating and buzzing on the bed.
Noah- Berry why are you ignoring me? (9.00 PM)
Quinn looks down and wonders who Noah is?
Noah- Is this because of what I said earlier? (9.02 PM)
What did Noah say to Rachel earlier Quinn wonders?
Noah- Come on Rachel, please? (9.04 PM)
He sure wanted Rachel to talk to him whoever he was.
Quinn looks up at Rachel, "So who's Noah?" The blonde girl asks the brunette.
Rachel looks across at Quinn shocked, she blinks once, twice, before she responds with a "What?" in a small voice.
"He's text you three times in the past five minutes" Quinn states.
"Is he the guy you are into? Because you shouldn't be worried because he's into you too" Quinn carries on as she sees Rachel not responding.
"No what Noah wants is to get into my pants" Rachel says.
"I don't think so from the texts he sent you" Quinn says smiling at Rachel
"It's Puck so he definitely does" Rachel sighs sitting down on her bed.
"Wait, he lets you call him by his first name, he told us only his Mother could call him that?" Quinn asks shocked.
"So you and Puck when did this happen?" Quinn asked to break the awkward silence.
"After me and Finn broke up, Noah started being nicer to me and then last night I couldn't sleep and he helped me" Rachel confesses.
"Helped you how?" Quinn says wiggling her eyebrows suggestively.
"Not like that Quinn, we just talked" Rachel says throwing a pillow at Quinn.
"Puck talked to a girl and didn't try it on with her? Rachel he actually likes you and I mean really likes you" Quinn says throwing the pillow back at Rachel.
"I think we should make a plan for you and Artie, Quinn" Rachel says a few moments later.
"Tomorrow morning before Glee rehearsal, we can have breakfast in my room, I'll message you" Quinn replies as she stands up to leave to go back to her room,"And for what it's worth, I think you and Puck would be a good couple" She adds before closing the door.
When Rachel sits back down on the bed her phone vibrates again, she wonders if it's Noah again but this time it isn't, it's Kurt.
Diva, I will be staying with Mercedes, we are really in the zone writing. See you in the AM.
Rachel sighs she was going to be alone, wasn't she used to this by now?
She changes into some pink fluffy pajama bottoms and a black camisole before lying back on the bed, wondering if she should reply to Noah's texts, thinking back to what Quinn said earlier on.
Rachel's woken up much later on by a knock on the door, she groggily walks to the door expecting to see Kurt on the other side as she swings it open to find a sheepish Noah Puckerman.
Noah runs his hands through his Mohawk as he leans against the door frame.
"Berry, I was worried about you, you didn't reply to my texts" He says, a tired smile gracing his face.
"I was busy, I had company" Rachel responds holding back a yawn.
"Anyone I know" He says walking past Rachel to get into her room.
"Noah are you jealous?" Rachel asks closing her door to turn to face the boy.
"No, hell no" He says a little bit too defensively.
"Noah why are you here?" Rachel asks him walking towards him, looking at the boy in front of her and he looks pissed off.
"Noah, I'm rather tired me and Quinn were throwing a lot of ideas around tonight" Rachel says with a yawn.
"Quinn was here?" He asks as he sits down on Rachel's bed.
"Yeah" Rachel replies casually.
"Was she the reason you didn't reply to my texts?" He asks quietly.
"No, Noah I-" Rachel doesn't know what to say.
"You what Rachel?" Noah whispers as he gets closer to her.
Why didn't you tell me Finn was your hotel room mate? What if he'd seen us together?" Rachel asks him looking directly in his eyes.
"So what if he had?" Noah replies forcefully.
"You mean you-" Rachel is cut off by Noah's soft lips crashing down on hers, one of his hands tangled in her hair, the other gripping her waist keeping her close to him as he pushes her back on to the bed.
"I'm not going to have sex with you" She says, her voice coming out a little too breathless.
"I know" He states as he places light kisses on her neck.
"You know?" She asks him.
"Rachel, baby, you are special I know I'm going to have to wait, to prove I am the guy who isn't going to hurt you, that I've changed" He says looking into her eyes pouring his heart out to her.
"Noah, I didn't-" She says shaking her head.
"It's ok, I'm not the guy who expresses his feelings, but here I am telling you, I'm into you and only you" He says softly.
"I'm into you too" She responds before pulling him in for a kiss.
He gets off her stripping off his shirt as he does so, revealing his rather attractive body, he looks down to find her blushing, biting her lip.
"Lets get you to bed Princess" He smirks, pulling back the covers and sliding between them, patting the space next to him softly, indicating for her to come and lie next to him, she takes the bait and curls up next to him, one hand resting on his chest, her hands feeling cold against his warmer body.
"You're friends with Artie right Noah?" Rachel asks as she traces patterns on his bare skin.
"Yeah why?" He asks curiously.
"I'm going to set him up" She replies casually.
"With who babe?" He asks kissing the top of her head.
"You will find out soon enough" She says leaning into his touch, closing her eyes.
"As long as it's not Britt again, because you know she just used him" He says.
"Noah, you actually care" Rachel says stroking his arm.
"Babe, please, don't tell any one" He says rolling his eyes.
"It's Quinn" Rachel says.
"Good" He replies casually.
"What do you mean good?" Rachel says, sitting up to look down at the boy.
"He likes Quinn too, he told me the other week, he wanted my help singing a song to her" Noah says casually.
"Noah! Why didn't you tell me?" Rachel asks swatting his shoulder.
"Because you end up hitting me" He says rubbing his shoulder dramatically.
"I'm so sorry, let me kiss you better" Rachel says moving her head to kiss his shoulder where she'd hit him.
"So what are we going to do? To get them together" He asks as he watches Rachel kiss his shoulder area as she moves up to his neck, why is he talking right now? Especially when his girl is kissing him?
"They have to sing a duet" Rachel states happily as she shoots up which makes him sit up too, wrapping his arms around her.
"Lets get some sleep then we can help them ok babe?" Noah says pulling her back down to him once more.
The next morning they are woken up by someone screaming.
It's Rachel who gets up first.
"Kurt, will you stop, you are going to wake Noah up" Rachel is whisper shouting at him.
"When did this happen?" Kurt asks excitedly his voice definitely loud enough to wake Noah up.
"Hummel, seriously do you have to talk so loud?" Noah asks the annoyance apparent in his voice.
"Noah, be nice" Rachel says swatting his shoulder.
"Stop hitting me woman" Noah says rolling is eyes at her.
"What time is it?" Rachel says trying to reach out for her phone.
"Like eight" Kurt replies.
"I have to meet Quinn" Rachel says jumping up after seeing the text from Quinn.
Hey Rachel, I'm in room 204 come over when you are awake, Q.
Rachel runs off to the bathroom to get changed, coming out a few moments later dressed in a black and white turtle neck.
Much to Noah's displeasure, he groans as soon as he sees her, she leans down to give him a kiss.
"Boys please play nice" She says as she flounces out of the room.
"So you and Rachel huh?" Kurt asks looking at Puck.
"Yeah me and Rachel" He states.
"About time Puck" Kurt says as he goes back to finding his rhyming dictionary.
Rachel knocks on Quinn's door, the blonde girl opens it with a wide smile on her face.
"Hey Rachel" Quinn says smiling at her friend.
"Good morning Quinn" Rachel smiles back at her.
"So I have been thinking about what you said yesterday and I was talking to Noah last night-" Rachel says as she steps into Quinn's room.
"Wait you spoke to him last night? I heard Finn telling Santana that Puck disappeared" Quinn says cutting Rachel off.
"Well" Rachel says sheepishly, blushing as she remembered Noah pressed up close to her.
"Did you?" Quinn asks clearly she saw Rachel's blush on her face.
"No! Course not Quinn, we talked and fell asleep and then Kurt woke us up this morning when he was screaming" Rachel says.
"I would have loved to have seen that" Quinn says chuckling gently.
"Anyway me and Noah decided that you and Artie need to do a duet together and I have the perfect one" Rachel states simply.
"You wrote a duet for us?" Quinn asks her shocked.
"No, but it is inspirational, Lucky by Jason Mraz" Rachel replies with a smile on her face.
"Wow Rachel that is.. great, but how do we do it?" Quinn asks nervously.
"Leave that to me" Rachel beams at her friend.
"Mr Schuester, as Captain of the Glee Club, I suggest we sing a song in order to inspire each other and our writing" Rachel says once all the Glee club members are together again.
"That's a great idea Rachel, do you have any ideas?" Mr Schuester asks her.
"Actually I do, we all talk about duets, which are customarily sang by me and Finn, but I have decided we need to give others a chance, So I Picked a song and that's Lucky by Jason Mraz" Rachel states slight annoyance on Finn's name as he is not paying any attention to anything around him except Santana's breasts.
"And the lucky people who get to sing that are..." Rachel has a hat in her hand and she pulls out a piece of paper and says "Quinn" Rachel smiles at her before putting her hand back into the hat "And Artie" She reveals smiling even wider.
"You heard her guys, Quinn Artie, take it away" Mr Schuester says as Rachel goes to sit down next to Noah and Kurt on the edge of the bed.
Rachel can't help but smile when she hears Quinn start singing the opening verse.
Do you hear me,
I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying
Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard
She's even happier when Artie joins in with the chorus, she watches as Quinn beams across at her singing partner.
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
The two of them singing as if they are the only two people in the room, when Rachel looks around everyone else seems disinterested in the performance, maybe she was the only one who wanted them to be happy.
They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will
Their voices blend well together she thinks, maybe this could be a contender for Nationals if they don't actually write any original songs.
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday
She feels Noah's arm resting on the small of her back as her two friends launch into the final couple of verses, his touch so soft yet it burned her, the heat that radiates off him is all consuming.
And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair
The words and the music all so beautiful, she was right when she said the song was inspirational, Rachel Berry was very rarely wrong about music.
Though the breezes through trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now
The two are so in sync with each other now, there's not a lot of dance steps in the number, but it works well without any theatrical elements, it's simple and elegant.
Just their voices blending together.
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I'm lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday
The couple lock eyes and it's the end of the song.
Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooooh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
When they end the duet, Rachel's up on her feet clapping first followed by Mr Schuester and then the rest of the Glee Club.
"I hope that proved inspirational to the rest of you, lets take a quick lunch break and then we can get to work guys" Mr Schuester says.
Rachel can't help but smile when she sees Artie and Quinn sitting together eating, Quinn waves Rachel over, who drags Noah with her, not that the tall boy was complaining.
"Quinn, Artie, that was great, I really enjoyed the performance" Rachel says as she sits down across from them, she can see the confusion in Artie's eyes as he sees Noah throw his arm around her shoulders, whispering something in her ear before he heads off.
"If we weren't writing original songs for Nationals this would be a contender" She carries on.
"Thanks Rachel" The two say in unison smiling at her.
They may have not won Nationals that year but what did come from that was two new couples, Puckleberry and Quartie and their friendships, the four of them were inseparable once they came back from New York, it didn't take any one long to see this, no one said anything it was just the lingering looks wondering when all of this transpired.
"I'm glad we are friends" Quinn says smiling at Rachel.
"Me too Quinn" Rachel says before they are joined at the table by both their boyfriends.
Quinn and Artie feeding each other and Rachel laughing at some joke Noah had just told her.
Everything was perfect.
