"Quiiiiiin Please tell me where we're going" The tiny diva pleaded for what felt like the 100th time.
"We're nearly there! You're so whiney Rachel" Quinn said only for Rachel to mockingly repeat it in a childish manner "Really mature Berry"
The blonde finally reached a fence and stopped to look at Rachel "It's just over this fence. You go first and I'll help you since you're so tin…" Quinn noticed Rachel's nostrils start to flare at the mention of her height, so she quickly changed it "You're so …tired?"
"Good cover up Quinn and fine I'll go first this better not be private property!" The short brunette walked to the fence where Quinn had clasped her two hands; to help Rachel climb over. Rachel reached the other side and looked around, still just trees. The taller girl made it over next;
"Gee Rachel, you might be tiny but you're heavy!" The brunette stood staring at Quinn jaw slacked;
"Quinn I'm not fat! Have you lost all your social etiquette? Mentioning a woman's weight is a golden rule on what not to do" Rachel stomped her foot and walked of ahead
"I guess I don't know Sorry Rachel I don't really do women anymore… I mean I don't have friends that are women"
"I know what you meant. Now to make it up to me where are we going?"
"You were playing me!" The blonde stood shocked that Rachel could wind her up
"Well two can play that game as they say, whoever 'they' are" Rachel smiled.
"This way. Watch the branch" The girls walked through some smaller trees, they were surrounded by greenery. Quinn went through first trying to keep the branches from flying back and hitting Rachel in her 'precious nose' as Rachel had said when Quinn accidently let go of one of them.
The light sound of water could now be heard clearly and Quinn stood just ahead of Rachel holding a branch out of her way with one hand, while using her other arm in a gesture to suggest they were finally at their destination.
The brunette emerged from the greenery to see a small lake surrounded by patches of pink, red and violet flowers. Some giant oak trees are leaning over the water on the far side to shade a large portion of the tranquil lake. The floor surrounding the lake is covered by a mash of different coloured leaves and flowers, all overlooked by the sun peeking through gaps in the trees.
Rachel stood amazed; she'd never heard of or seen this place. To be honest she wasn't ever one to venture out, but after seeing the site in front of her she thought maybe she should start. She stood taking everything in while Quinn watched adoringly remembering how she felt when she first came here.
"Worth the walk?"
"Yes…it's beautiful just beautiful. How did I live here so long and never come here?"
"No one does, it's just one of those places you don't set out looking for, You just kind of find it" The blonde walked over to the edge of the lake, took her shoes of and sat with her feet in the water
"And how did you find it?" The brunette followed suit and sat beside Quinn
"A few weeks after we left McKinley, I had to get out so I just kind of ran and ended up here, it's kind of nice to know that whatever's going on back there, can't change how I feel when I get here" The blonde was looking out peacefully at the lake "I know that doesn't make much sense"
"It does, a moment where your troubles can be forgotten, even if it's just for a second, you can escape, even if you no eventually you have to go back. I get it" The small brunette leaned her head on the blondes arm; the blonde instantly wrapped her arm around the smaller girls waist.
"Exactly"
"So what were you running from Quinn?" The brunette stayed looking out at the lake, trying to act like she wasn't desperately interested.
"Everyone had gone doing their own thing, I hadn't. Then my mother brought him… daddy home and I ran, she didn't care about my opinion nor that I had cried and pleaded…no begged her to change her mind" Rachel squeezed Quinn's arm tenderly letting her know she was listening "But there he stood in my home and I had to roll over and deal with it. I … I just thought that me; her daughter, stood crying in front of her would be enough, but she chose him." Rachel couldn't help it she lifted her head from Quinn's arm to check if she was alright; the blonde kept her head forward, still wearing her sunglasses, so Rachel just lightly kissed Quinn's shoulder and leant her head on the blonde's shoulder . This time Quinn also leaned her head atop of the brunettes.
The pair sat looking over the lake in a comforting silence for a while, just escaping together. The only noise heard were the many singing birds in the trees.
"I use music as an escape and since you showed me this place I feel it only fair to repay the favour, although I'm not sure which song to sing… requests?" Rachel tried to lighten the mood; ulterior motive she just wanted to sing, maybe cheer the blonde up.
"Any reason to sing Berry" the blonde lifted her head and wiped her tear stained cheeks "Just please not Barbra!" Quinn joked
"Fine! Well for some reason as soon as we arrived here this song popped into my head... don't laugh Quinn" The blonde's expression changed from intrigued to mischievous, she placed a finger over her lip to show Rachel she wouldn't speak;
With a smile and a song
Life is just a bright sunny day
Your cares fade away
And your heart is young
With a smile and a song
All the world seems to waken anew
Rejoicing with you
As the song is sung
There's no use in grumbling
When the raindrops come tumbling
Remember, you're the one
Who can fill the world with sunshine
When you smile and you sing
Everything is in tune and it's spring
And life flows along
With a smile and a song
Rachel finished and Quinn sat smiling happily to the side of her "I've actually missed hearing you sing Rachel"
"Well I am extremely talented vocal wise, of course it's only one of my many talents" The brunette noticed her companion had a cheeky smile on her face "What Quinn?"
"No you said I can't take the mick so my lips are sealed" The pale girl's grin seemed to get even bigger
"Fine I don't want to know" The tan girl crossed her arms and held her head high looking away from Quinn. Out of the corner of her eye she could see Quinn trying to suppress a giggle "Fine say it"
"Well wouldn't Heigh-Ho be more suitable?"
"Heigh-Ho… Why" The diva couldn't understand so she began singing the song trying to see how the lyrics went "Heigh-Ho Heigh-Ho it's home from work we go" Rachel even finished with the whistle!
The blonde sat chuckling at Rachel's side wondering how she hadn't worked it out "Rach it was a joke; you being tiny singing the dwarfs song. The joke wasn't even that funny until you started whistling… whistle it for me again Rach" The tiny diva quickly grabbed hold of Quinn and pushed her to the floor playfully; knocking of the blondes glasses
"Quinn! I'm average height, what if I get low self-esteem issues… Quinn stop laughing it isn't funny!" The brunette now hovered over Quinn; legs on either side pinning the blonde down with her hands
"I know Rach I'm sorry" The brunette let go of the blonde's arms and was about to move aside until she heard Quinn whistling 'Heigh-Ho'
"That's it Fabray, you're going down" Quinn looked questioningly at the diva until she felt the brunettes tan hands tickling her; from her neck to her lower abdomen
"No.. No Rach … that tickles… no not there you no I'm ticklish there… you dare!" Rachel met Quinns dare and tickled Quinn's hip. The blonde finally took control and now had Rachel pinned underneath her
"Quinn now listen I just got you because you were winding me up. I'm willing to call it quits now!" The brunette attempted
"Now you're calling it quits? Because I'm on top and you can't win" Quinn teased
"No because we're even you shouldn't have wound me up!"
"You mean I shouldn't have done this" The blonde leaned down so her lips were next to a tan ear and once again whistled 'Heigh-Ho'. The brunette hadn't even tried to move from Quinn's grasp; as soon as she felt the blonde's lips by her ear she was paralysed.
The blonde finished whispering in Rachel's ear but didn't want to move, she could feel the heat radiating from both her own and Rachel's body, she also noticed their bodies fit well together. She slowly lifted her head back to see Rachel's fully blown pupils.
Just as both girls started to lean into each other they heard a noise coming from the trees
"Come on we'd better make a move" Quinn managed to say, still not moving.
"Yeah… move… we should" Rachel agreed, not moving.
"Rach I can't move"
"Me either"
"No… I mean you still have your hands on my ass"
The brunette quickly moved her hands blushing, wondering how they ended up there. The blonde stood up first and held her hand out for Rachel to take, she didn't; to embarrassed she stood up by herself "Sorry" Rachel mumbled; now with a face that had the colouring of a tomato.
The noise that broke them from their intimate moment got closer and louder, the leaves crunching loudly.
"Quinn please tell me this isn't private property or something" the shaken brunette turned to Quinn
"Oh so now you can look at me, nice Rach"
"What? Are you kidding me?"
"You wouldn't even take my hand Rachel I haven't got … cooties or something" The blonde picked up her glasses and placed them over her sad eyes
"I was… am embarrassed. I don't usually go round grabbing peoples... bottoms" the brunette somehow managed to turn even more red. The blonde now had a smile on her face replacing her previous hurt expression
"Well… maybe we should find a way out of here" The blonde hid a fresh new mischievous glint behind her sunglasses "the guy who looks after this place doesn't like trespassers just hope he didn't bring his gun" Quinn could hear Rachel gasp in shock. The brunette backed up into Quinn; facing the trees, standing at the edge of the lake. "It's alright just keep quiet… Did you know that if you trespass on someone's property they have the right to shoot you on the spot… maybe that's what happened to Kylie…" another loud gasp from Rachel, she was now pressed right up to Quinn still listening for the noise…
CRUNCH "Ahhhh!" The diva span around knocking the blonde back, just hard enough for her to lose her footing, on the edge of the lake SPLASH
The brunette looked on petrified her ally was now submerged in the water and whoever was nearing them was sure to find them now CRUNCH. The blonde finally emerged, minus her sunglasses, spitting out water, just in time to get another mouthful; as the tanned brunette dived in the water.
"RACHEL! What the heck?" Rachel came above water splashing around, the blonde quickly moved forward and pulled the brunette into her "Calm down" the smaller girl gripped her arms around the taller girl's shoulders; clinging to her for dear life. Quinn had never seen Rachel so scared "Rach baby calm down, no one's around, just you and me" The diva calmed down but still kept her tight grip around the blonde
"I… I thought they were getting closer… so I jumped in after you"
"Yeah after pushing me in first, thanks. Do you mind maybe loosening your grip" Tan hands slowly untangled themselves from the pale girl's shoulders so she could tread water herself. The blonde girl missed the contact instantly but wouldn't admit it
"Sorry... Why aren't you scared? Some man with a gun could be about to jump out on us" Worried brown eyes started to wander around the surroundings until she felt water splash on the back of her neck, coming from Quinn's direction
"You dork! I was winding you up it was just a dog, he's usually around here, I sometimes bring some food for him-"
"You! Quinn!" The diva quickly dunked the blonde under water; revenge. This continued into a full blown water fight, Quinn came out on top again
Rachel was quickly dunked under the water by Quinn, when she submerged she noticed the blonde had swam to the side, Rachel quickly followed and grabbed hold of the paler girl's foot to pull her under the water; it was now a race to get out of the lake. The brunette neared the edge first, just as she reached the side she felt Quinn's hands grip her waist; pulling her back, only the tanned girl kept hold of the ledge
"Come on Rach just give in" The blonde girl was now pressed up against the brunettes back; Rachel couldn't help shiver at the contact. Quinn moved one hand to hold the ledge at the side of Rachel, her other hand started stroking down tanned skin and stopped on the girl's hip to turn the brunette around
Milky skin met tan; Rachel now had her back pressed against the ledge, Quinn flush against her, upon contact the brunette quickly wrapped her legs around the blonde.
"Now who's winning" Quinn's husky voice spoke
"Me" Rachel instantly replied, Quinn pressed impossibly closer to the brunette "Quinn" the brunettes voice broke; tension unbearable.
The blonde finally broke her trance "Right… erm we'd better go … Sam will be wondering where I am" Quinn watched as the tan legs fell from around her waist, she quickly moved to get out of the water; letting out a breath she didn't know she was holding.
The girls both walked back in an awkward silence, neither mentioning how they'd ended up in a compromising situation twice and wanted to take it further twice.

Review and let me no, too much fluff? Ready for some angst?
Songs from Snow white and the seven dwarfs
With a smile and a song
Heigh-Ho (Sang by dwarfs in the film)
Say goodbye to fluff and hello to angst next chapter. I was going to do this chapter shorter but I got carried away and thought it'd be nicer to do a nice long fluffy chapter before angst knocks on Rachel's door.
