Want to send a special shout out to xOrax, your review made me smile, and just for you here is the next chapter! :D
Quinn quickly takes a shower and gets dressed before heading downstairs. Olivia hands her a takeout coffee cup and Quinn looks at her quizzically.
"You didn't have any coffee left so I went to the Coffee Corner and got drinks for us both."
Quinn takes a sip of her beverage and smiles at the taste of caramel.
"Thanks Olivia, this is a lot better than what I could have made here."
"Ah it was nothing. Oh and before you go Mark wants to talk to you."
"Do you know what about?"
"He wouldn't tell me when I asked, so I guess you'll just have to go see him and find out." Olivia looks at the clock, "Um Quinn we have to go now so just grab what you need and we will head out."
Quinn sets her coffee on the counter and then runs upstairs to put on her shoes and grab a light jacket, then heads back downstairs. Quinn grabs her coffee and meets Olivia outside where she is standing by a waiting town car.
The two get in and fasten their seatbelts and head off to the set. They are dropped off and Olivia and Quinn walk onto the set, which is eerily quiet.
"Where is everyone?"
Olivia turns to Quinn, "I don't know."
Then the lights go out and the two stand in place not wanting to move. The lights go on with a yell of, "Surprise!"
Quinn smiles looking at all of the faces of the people she has come to know while she was working on the episode. Quinn looks at Olivia to see her smiling widely.
"You had something to do with this didn't you?"
Olivia hugs Quinn lightly, "Yeah I did but really all I had to do was get you here. They did all the rest."
The cast and crew enjoy a lunch while watching the episode they had just finished filming. Quinn watches in awe seeing the whole thing unfold. As the episodes credits roll there isn't a dry eye in the place. One of the producers walks over to Quinn with what looks like a present. He hands it to her wordlessly with a smile.
Olivia urges Quinn to open it so she does. She opens the big box, and finds her script on top but it has been signed by the cast and crew and they have all written little notes to her. She smiles and sets it gently to the side. She wordlessly pulls out clothes from the box. Once the box is empty she looks over the clothes and recognizes them as the outfits she wore in the episode. As tears mist her eyes Quinn gets up out of her seat and turns to the rest of the cast and crew.
"I'm not sure what I'm supposed to say but I owe all of you a big thank you for giving me this opportunity. It has been one of the best of my life and I will cherish it always." A huge cheer goes up from the crowd but before Quinn sits back down Olivia is standing next to her.
"I have my own announcement to make. Quinn, our producers would like you to continue to guest star on House as my characters girlfriend."
Quinn looks at Olivia stunned then a huge smile graces her face. "I can't believe I am hearing you right."
"Believe it Quinn, your pretty special."
"Thank you so much, and I will accept the offer to guest star on House as Thirteen's girlfriend."
The rest of the day goes by pretty quickly and around four in the evening Olivia drives her back to the beach house.
"Quinn I'll meet you at the airport and we will be sitting next to each other on the plane so we can talk and you can tell me all about your home town." Olivia gives Quinn a quick hug before heading back to her car. Quinn picks up the box of gifts and takes it inside then heads back out to the Coffee Corner to see what Mark wanted to talk about.
Quinn walks into the Coffee Corner and sees Mark sitting on the stage with two cups beside him.
"Hey Mark, Olivia tell you I was coming?"
"Yes."
"I should have figured."
Mark hands Quinn one of the cups beside him and Quinn sips it.
"Thanks for the peppermint tea, it's amazing."
"I figured you would want one after the long day you have had. And I should be thanking you for getting me the guest spot on House. That was amazing!"
Mark has gotten up from his seat on the stage and heads behind the bar and pulls out a basket full of coffee and tea from his shop.
"I made this to say thank you." He smiles sheepishly as he hands it to Quinn.
"Oh my gosh thank you so much Mark, I've been meaning to go buy some coffee to replace Erica's."
Mark seems to perk up at the name, "Erica? You mean Erica Hahn the doctor?"
"Yup that's the one. She let me stay in her beach house."
"Wow that place is amazing."
"Yeah it is and I think this will be a nice present to leave her for when she comes again."
Mark looks at Quinn sadly, "But it was for you."
"Yes but I don't think I can take all of this on the plane with me."
"Right, well how about you give me your address and I will send another basket to you."
Quinn grabs a piece of paper from the bar and writes down her address and then hands it to Mark.
"Thank you for everything Mark, and if I ever come back I will be coming here."
Quinn heads out to leave but Mark stops her, "There is one more thing I forgot to give you."
He hands Quinn a People magazine with Olivia on the front cover. She looks at it perplexed until Mark opens it to the article and sees a picture of her and Olivia when they were filming. She takes the magazine from him smiling.
"Thanks again for everything Mark, now I'm going to have to talk to Olivia about this tomorrow."
Quinn gives him a farewell wave before heading out the door with the basket and magazine firmly in hand.
She spends a couple of hours packing up her stuff and straightening the beach house before falling asleep.
She is awoken by her alarm at four in the morning, so she drags herself out of bed and gets ready to fly home.
At six Addison shows up to take Quinn to the airport. Quinn puts her bags in the trunk of Addison's car and then gets into the passenger seat. She gives the beach house one last look as they drive away.
"So Quinn how was your stay here in California? And how is your shoulder?"
"My stay here was amazing and I owe Erica so much. Also my shoulder has been healing well. I can pretty much move it without too much pain."
"Good. So are you excited to be heading home?"
Quinn smiles, "For once yeah, I'm actually excited to be going home. Because I know that I'm ready."
The two chat for the rest of the ride to the airport. When they get there Addison gets out of the car to see Quinn off. Quinn gives her a quick hug and thank you before heading into the airport.
Once Quinn has gotten through security and dropped off her bag she sits down in one of the chairs waiting to board the flight.
She must have drifted off because she is lightly being shaken awake. Quinn looks at the person who has woken her and smiles to see its none other than Olivia.
"Hey sleepyhead, you ready to head home?"
"Yes I'm ready to head home. Although I still don't know why you want to come."
"I've already told you, you are interesting and I want to know where you come from."
The two sit side by side, until Quinn remembers the People magazine. She pulls it out of her bag.
"Care to tell me about this?"
Olivia looks at the magazine sheepishly, "Well I was interviewed by People and they wanted to know when House would be back to filming. So I told them that I found someone to play the role opposite me and they wanted to know a little about you. I just told them the bare minimum."
"Yes but now my name is in a magazine, people are going to know who I am."
"Is that a bad thing?"
"No it's just going to be chaotic."
"Yes it will but I will be there for you if you need me."
The two head to the plane as they board, and then they settle into their seats in first class. They talk about what they are going to do and where they will hang out.
Finally the plane touches down and Quinn and Olivia exit together. They grab their luggage and then Quinn follows Olivia to the car rental. Quinn decides to call her mother and talk to her while Olivia is dealing with the car.
The phone rings twice and then her mom picks up the phone.
"Hi Quinnie, how are you? I'm sorry I haven't been home I've just been so busy but I will be back next Monday."
"I'm good, I just took a break from school for a week but on Monday I will be going back. I just needed to take some time for myself."
"Whatever you need to do Quinnie, and know I'm here for you."
"Okay mom, I love you."
"Love you too."
"Bye."
"Bye."
Quinn hangs up her cell phone right as Olivia is handed the keys to a car. The two walk out of the airport and to the concierge desk for rental cars. Olivia wordlessly hands the keys over and waits as the car is brought around.
Quinn's eyes almost bug out of her head when she see's the car pull up. It is was a Lamborghini and that was all Quinn needed to know, and then she was sure they were going to stick out like a sore thumb driving around.
Olivia takes the keys from the driver and runs her hand appreciatively over the black hood of the car. "I've been dying to drive one of these." She smiles and winks at Quinn.
Quinn sighs as she places her bags in the back seat of the car. Then she settles into the passenger seat mumbling to herself, "At least I packed light so we were able to fit our bags in."
Olivia slides into the driver seat of the Lamborghini Gallardo Nera. "Even though this is the 2007 model I really like it."
Quinn glares at Olivia, "You are just trying to make us stand out aren't you?"
"Maybe."
"Ugh you are insufferable."
"But you still love me."
Quinn shoves Olivia's shoulder lightly, "You goof, just drive alright."
Olivia puts the keys in the car and starts it up. The car roars to life and Olivia pulls out of the airport and begins the drive to Lima, Ohio with Quinn giving her directions.
The two arrive at Quinn's house about two hours later. Olivia parks in the driveway and the two walk up the path to the front door. Quinn pulls out her keys and opens the front door, she enters and heads up to her room. She hesitates outside the door but the opens it. She looks wordlessly at the spotless carpet but then spots a note taped to her vanity mirror.
The words on the note begin to swim before her eyes as she reads, "Q, some of the guys and I fixed up your room. Hope your better after you come back from California.-S"
Quinn pulls the note from the mirror and holds it to her chest, only turning around when she hears Olivia at her door.
Olivia looks at Quinn and sees she crying, "Hey are you okay? Do you need anything?"
Quinn shakes her head. "No I don't need anything. I'm just grateful to have my friends who care about me."
Olivia doesn't seem to completely understand what Quinn is talking about so she hands her the note, and after reading it Olivia hugs Quinn tightly.
Olivia pulls away from Quinn and Quinn wipes the tears from her eyes.
"So Quinn, what do you say to getting something to eat?"
Quinn smiles, "That sounds great. Just let me get changed and fix my make-up."
Olivia nods, "Sure I'll get changed as well and then we can head out."
Once Olivia leaves Quinn pulls one of her House's characters outfits out. She pulls out the grey shirt and black vest but keep her blue skinny jeans on as well as her doc martins. She then goes into the bathroom and fixes her make-up.
Now finished she heads downstairs, to find Olivia sitting on the couch.
"I see you like your new clothes."
"Yeah they are pretty comfortable. Now there is only one main restaurant here in town and that is Breadsticks, so we'll go there."
The two head out and Quinn slips on some black ray ban's as they walk to the Lamborghini.
Quinn and Olivia settle into the car and head off with Quinn once again giving directions . They arrive and Quinn nervously fiddles with her rolled up sleeves until a cough from Olivia alerts her to the fact they have been sitting there more than a moment. The two exit the car and head into Breadsticks.
Quinn enters nervously followed by Olivia , they are escorted to a booth and the two settle into it and begin looking at the menu. The two order and talk things over about the show, until Quinn sees Santana, and Sam enter the restaurant. She fights the urge to duck out of sight and Olivia notices that.
"What's wrong?"
"Some of my friends just walked in."
"Oh chill, I seriously don't think they would recognize you, not with me anyway."
It turns out Olivia is right when Santana and Sam leave without really glancing her way. The two finish their meal and head back to Quinn's house. They settle in to watch some television and end up falling asleep on the couch.
