The Morning After

Fran woke up with a hangover. She hadn't felt this bad since senior year of high school, or during her four years of college. Shaking her head of those thoughts was a bad idea though, since she now had a pounding headache. Slowly, she opened one eye at a time as she took in her surroundings.

She was sleeping in a bed sandwiched between Artie and…Santana? What the hell happened last night? Shooting out of bed quickly and groaning at the pain the action caused, she hurried out the door and performed her walk of shame. On the way out she smiled to herself at the people scattered throughout the hotel room because she knew she wouldn't be the only one waking up with regrets.

Fran made her way into her mom's hotel room quietly. She took in the sight of her sister holding Rachel in her arms as they both were sleeping peacefully. Smiling at the sight she couldn't help feeling happy that her baby sister had found what she was still searching for…true love.

Rachel heard a door quietly close and began stirring as she slowly woke up. Suddenly events of last night flooded her mind. The incredible sex in the hot tub with Quinn, the awkward but not unpleasant kiss from Sugar, Judy finding out about said hot tub sex. She groaned at the last thought that entered her mind. The noise must have been louder than she anticipated because it woke up her sleeping girlfriend. As Quinn's eyes popped open, a smile graced her serene face. She leaned forward and softly kissed Rachel's bare shoulder. "Mmmm, good morning." The blonde greeted pleasantly.

"What the hell have you done to my sister Berry, she was never a morning person?" Fran announced her presence from the foot of their bed. The sound caused both Rachel and Quinn to shoot up in horror.

"Jeez Fran, creep much?" She threw her pillow at her sister who gracefully dogged it but it hit the lamp behind her making enough noise to awaken Judy. The three girls began giggling as the lamp shook but remained standing, because the image of it brought back memories of Rory's performance last night.

Judy was now sitting on her bed looking strangely at the laughing girls. She shook her head and walked to the bathroom.

Fran sat down on the now vacated bed. "So can we all agree that whatever happens in Cleveland stays in Cleveland?"

Rachel and Quinn share a look then glance toward the bathroom where Judy disappeared. "Agreed." They answered simultaneously.

After getting dressed and packed, the four made it down to the hotel dinning area and began eating some complimentary breakfast. Jeremiah and Michael joined them shortly after. They shared in small talk and ate happily.

As they were nearly finished eating, the glee club sauntered in the room to join them. They were all in various stages of sobriety. Sugar, Rory, Artie, Mercedes and Sam were looking worse for the wear. Brittany skipped in cheerfully, though a little clumsily. Santana walked beside her looking appropriately concerned. Mike and Tina walked in hand in hand as did Blaine and Kurt. Puck walked in last, wearing sunglasses and a smug smirk. His parties were always legendary. 'Just another group of satisfied customers' he thought to himself.

The adults took in the group of kids and then looked back at Quinn and Rachel with raised eyebrows. "They didn't drink." Fran answered their unasked question. They nodded in understanding then looked back at the kids.

"None of you are driving home this afternoon. The girls will each take one of the cars. And I will drive as well if need be." Michael said to the group with his best stern voice. Though Rachel could tell that he was masking his amusement just a little.

Michael, Jeremiah and Judy left to check out and bring the cars around.

Sugar quickly took an empty seat next to Rachel. "Good morning Rachel, we missed you last night. Where'd you go?"

"Quinn and I retired to our room."

There were several snickers around the room as they shot the girls knowing looks.

"My Mom was in the room guys, grow up!" Quinn berated them.

Rachel just smiled. "But we were in your room long enough to see that there were some rather interesting developments."

Several people shifted in their seats uneasily. "What happened in Cleveland stays in Cleveland." Rachel replied with a smirk as she eyed Fran thoughtfully. The blonde smiled back with a nod of her head.

Suddenly Rachel was wrapped with Brittany's powerful arms. "You, Rachel, are brilliant!"

A/N: Just a little teaser to tide you over :) What do you think happened last night? I will use any and all interesting suggestions. Up next, how will what happened in Cleveland affect them in Lima? And will it all stay hidden? Also, a bit more Finn torture…

Until then :)
