aquarius127; Awww! Thank you so much for reviewing and I'm really excited that you enjoyed the chapter. And oooh tough choice. I actually think that they'd be equally matched and that it would take Brittany interfering for them to stop fighting, and eventually keep bickering over who 'won', even though we both know it's Brittany.

"You know what I hate?"

It's a few days later and right now the girls are watching as Santana fishes out her homework from her locker.

Rachel raises an eyebrow, "That you didn't know Breadstix delivered until about an hour ago?"

Quinn grins as Santana gasps once again, "How could I not know though? Isn't it like their duty and job and obligation to tell customers this? To tell me this?"

She rolls her eyes at herself before shaking her head, "And no that's not what I was talking about. I hate that I had all this stuff planned to use on the giant oaf-bag but now I can't use any of it."

Brittany tilts her head slightly, looking like a little puppy as she does so, "What stuff?"

Santana smirks and shrugs as she shuts her locker door and they make their way in the direction of their classes, "Just stuff. Like I had this killer 'potion' I worked on."

At that the blue-eyed blonde's jaw drops, "Potion?"

The brunette quickly amends, "Not like a witch or anything B, but like yeah kinda."

Quinn and Rachel share a look and then Rachel questions, "And what exactly was this potion meant to do?"

Santana grins and shrugs her shoulders in a noncommittal way, "Just make him nauseous and uhm have an upset stomach, nothing serious or anything like that."

Quinn stops walking and just stares after the brunette and it takes Rachel nudging her to move back up to them, "What?"

Santana nods her head, slipping her pinkie around Brittany's, "Yeah, but it's a shame I wont get to use it like I said. Still. Having him sent away and locked up in juvi is something I will definitely not look in the mouth. He aint comin back anytime soon."

Rachel nods her head, smiling when Brittany turns around to throw a big smile her way, "Do you think he'll get help while he's there?"

Quinn glances to her right and watches as Rachel look to each of them waiting for some form of answer. Quinn sighs and shrugs, "He has to admit to having a problem first Rach. Knowing him, I don't know if he will, on his own. But I'm pretty certain his mom will try and get him to work on his issues whatever they may be."

Rachel nods her head slowly, "I'm beyond overjoyed that he can't hurt any of you anymore, however I do have to voice some concern for our glee club."

Santana rolls her eyes and turns around to face the tiny brunette, "And on that note I will have to say adios, because Brittz and I have class here and you two love birds can go finish up this convo elsewhere. You can fill us in later. Or not. Preferably not."

With that she breezes into the classroom pulling a smiling and waving Brittany in after her.

Quinn chuckles and tugs on Rachel's arm to get her moving again, "You were saying?"

The brunette's eyes snap up to lock on with hazel ones, "You…You want to hear what I have to say?"

The blonde smiles at her and nods, "Of course I do. It's important to you so it's important to me silly."

The smile she receives in return for that statement makes Quinn want to keep making it appear on her face all the time, regardless of what she has to do to get it to make an appearance.

"Oh Quinn! That's the sweetest thing. I was just saying that well we're kind of short and not only that, he was our male lead. That isn't good; we need a replacement because I need a good strong counterpart."

Quinn hums as they take their seats and after a moment she leans towards Rachel and whispers, "Well what if before we go hunting for a member and a lead, we audition the boys in the club first. We can also just get someone to sway in the background to fill in the number quota, and that way it wouldn't be that much of a problem."

Rachel smiles at her brightly, "Quinn you are so smart. Of course I was thinking that, but I was also running through the odds of one of the boys wanting to be my male counterpart. Mike is a wonderful dancer but his voice isn't strong enough. Matt as well actually. And Kurt has a wonderful voice but…we can duet and he can have solos but he isn't a strong counterpart for me. We could have lovely songs together but nothing like we've done with Finn."

Quinn hums, scowling every once in a while at the mention of Finn, "Well what about Puck and Artie?"

Rachel nods, "We'll have to hold those auditions."

The blonde nods but then her head snaps up, "We?"

The tiny brunette nods her head, biting her lip, "Well I was hoping you'd help me? Mr. Schue wont really do anything about it until it's almost too late and we really need to remedy this situation as soon as possible and I would really love your input on the whole,"

Quinn gently interrupts her by placing her hand on Rachel's forearm, "Of course I'll help. I just didn't think you'd want any."

Rachel shakes her head, "I'd love to have your help."

Chuckling slightly the blonde throws a charming smile her way and quirks her eyebrow playfully, "Alright then, you've got yourself some help."

Xoxo

"I want to ask her out on a date San! I mean okay I already asked her out, but like I want to set a date for her…I don't think she thinks I want to, but I do! I really really do." Quinn groans as she lays back down flat on her back out on the football field pausing her sit-ups.

The brunette beside her rolls her eyes as she herself rolls onto her stomach, "So then what are you waiting for?"

The blonde throws an arm across her face and breathes heavily as she tries to catch her breath, "I want her to like the date and enjoy herself. I don't want it to be crappy."

Pushing herself with every bit of energy she has left, Santana sits up and kicks her legs out in front of her, "Cap no disrespect or anything but shut the fuck up. She's going to love anything you have planned even if it's as lame as going to that 50's style diner for milkshakes or whatever. She'll eat it up."

At Quinn's silence Santana raises an eyebrow and had she the energy she'd have burst out laughing, "Wait is that what you were thinking of doing?"

The blonde rolls her eyes and pulls herself up, "Not exactly, but it was going to be something kind of similar. I don't want to overwhelm her on the first date with just so very much and then I'm gonna not know how to make it even bigger the next time ya know?"

Santana grins and nods her head in understanding, "I totes see what you mean. Well do you have planned then?"

The blonde smiles, "I'm working out the details right now, but I think I'm definitely taking her star gazing."

Santana chuckles and lays back down throwing her arms across her face shielding her from the sun, "god you're such a dork Fabray."

Quinn furrows her eyebrows slightly worried, "You don't think she'll like that?"

Santana smiles, "Oh no, I'm sure she'll absolutely love it. It's just dorky enough to be considered romantic and you know how much she loves things like that. She'll eat it up. It doesn't change the fact that you're a dork."

Quinn chuckles, her cheeks reddening even more this time not a result from the work out, "I just…I want to share this with her."

Santana nods her head, "I get it Q. Come on tell me what else, I'll help you figure out the details." Before Quinn can say anything, Santana quickly adds, "And if you tell anyone that I actually offered I'm gonna deny it till my dying day."

That causes Quinn to burst out laughing, nodding her head in understanding, "Got it Lefty."

Xoxo

'Rachel,
Will you do me the honors of going on a date with me this Friday? I could pick you up at 7 if it's okay with you. I'll let you know the details but…Will you go out with me?
;) I love your hair today by the way xx'

"What's that?"

Rachel nearly screams in surprise, her hands lower away from her rapidly beating heart and she turns to face Kurt, "A note."

The boy smiles at her raising an eyebrow, "Yes I actually could see that. What I meant was, what does it say?"

Rachel cant help the blush that forms on her face and Kurt immediately amends, looking slightly sick, "Or don't I want to know?"

The tiny brunette looks at him appalled, "Kurt! No. It's…a request."

Kurt's interest is rekindled, "A request? Do I have to ask every little question to get answers around here?"

Rachel chuckles and clears her throat, "It's a date request."

His eyes bulge out and had it been a cartoon they'd have been on the floor, "A date? Who's asking? Where are you going? Do you have something to wear? I can totally help there! When is it? Are you even going? Do you know who's asking? Who's asking?"

Rachel blinks in silence for a second before nervously chewing on her lip. This isn't something she's really discussed with the blonde so she doesn't know if she can tell Kurt who it is just yet, but she cant not say anything.

"Yes a date and well they haven't signed the note so." She gives herself a pat on the back, she isnt lying, it really isnt signed, "And I don't know where we're going if I was to accept this invitation, but if I do accept it you're definitely going to help me pick out an outfit."

Kurt's eyes widen and he coos, "Oh my gosh this is something isnt it? Wow Miss Berry I am incredibly impressed right now, this is so romantic, do let me know if you do end up accepting, I'd love to help."

Rachel smiles kindly at him the blush still coloring her cheeks and nods her head, "And I'd love your help. Now, was there a reason you were coming to me?"

Kurt's eyes widen and he nods, "Yes, I completely forgot though, can you imagine that?"

The tiny diva smiles and as she listens to Kurt her eyes glance up and she notices her blonde cheerleader at the end of the hall giving her a small smile, her eyes sparkling in amusement and widening comically when she sees Rachel looking her way. Rachel smiles back but looks back towards Kurt giving him her full attention.

Xoxox

Smiling as Rachel walks into the choir room, Quinn watches the brunette's face break into a smile as she makes her way straight towards her.

"The honor would be all mine Lady Q. Seven is perfect of course, and just so we're clear, I'm going to need to know the dress code. I don't want to be overdressed or be underdressed for that matter."

Quinn's smile threatens to split her face in half, "You want to go on a date with me this Friday?"

Rachel grins at her, tilting her head slightly, "You didn't think there was a chance of me actually declining this invitation, did you?"

The blonde lowers her gaze and shrugs slightly, "Well I mean, what if there was something else going on or something you had planned and stuff."

Rachel shakes her head and finally takes her seat beside the blonde, "No, there's nothing else going on nor do I have stuff planned. And if there were anything, you'd know about them don't you think?"

Quinn chuckles as she acquiesces, "Yeah, my bad. I guess I shouldn't have gotten so worried or nervous."

Rachel giggles as she takes a gentle hold of Quinn's hand, "I actually think it's quite adorable really. I wouldn't be averse to you being this way again. It's really cute…You're really cute."

Before the blonde can say anything however Santana and Brittany walk in with Kurt and Mercedes in tow, the last two seemingly deep in discussion, with constant glances thrown Rachel's way.

The brunette cheerleader rolls her eyes as she plops down behind Quinn and Rachel, leaning forward to say, "They've been whispering non-stop for the past hour."

Brittany leans forward too and nods her head, "I think maybe one of them is like losing their voice or something and they're trying to sneak up on it."

Rachel smiles up at her and shakes her head, "Britt…I don't think so. I think I may actually know what this is about."

As she says this she subtly squeezes Quinn's hand and then she proceeds to tell the other two cheerleaders about the note Quinn left in her locker. Brittany coos and Santana just smirks but the look in her eyes give away that she is actually finding the whole situation adorably amusing.

Rachel continues, "And of course Kurt saw me looking at the note and asked and I told him that it was a date invitation. So I'm pretty sure they're busy trying to figure out who would ask me out."

Surprisingly it's Santana that says, "Who wouldn't ask you out Berry?"

Santana of course counts her lucky stars that the rest of the glee club decided to enter the choir room at that exact moment saving her from needing to answer any questions. She sighs in relief subtly and smirks leaning back in her chair, smiling as Brittany laces their fingers together, biting her lip when the blonde whispers, "You're right though San. Who wouldn't ask Ray out?"

Brittany follows up that question with a quick kiss to her cheek, smiling to herself when she notices how warm her cheeks are. She snuggles up to her and sighs contentedly when Santana starts to hum under her breath while playing with her hair.

Rachel smiles through her blush and the minute Mr. Schuester walks into the choir room throwing out an apology, she's shooting up out of her seat, gently and quickly letting go of Quinn's hand as she does so, "Mr. Schue? I need to say something."

The Spanish teacher raises an eyebrow but keeps his smile in place, "Oh, sure Rachel, the floor is yours."

He takes a seat next to the piano and just like that Rachel is standing before them all with a confident and easy smile on her face, "Fellow glee clubbers. Due to a number of unfortunate events, we are now down not only a glee club member, but also our male lead. Now I understand and believe me I do, this was inevitable and I'm in no way saddened by the fact that this ex-member isn't with us, however the fact still remains that we are in need of someone to replace him."

Rachel pauses and looks at each member's face before smiling slightly and continues, "It's come to my attention that the boys already in our club have a lot of potential of being our male lead, and I agree. I would love nothing more than to give you boys a chance to audition to be the male lead of our glee club, and at the same time we will need to keep a look out for new recruits. Does this sound like something we can all agree on?"

Rachel looks around the room hesitantly but is pleasantly surprised when everyone is actually looking rather supportive and somewhat excited about this.

Mr. Schue stands up besides the tiny diva and gives her a smile before addressing the group, "I think Rachel's idea is great! In that case, boys? You guys need to come up with a song to sing to audition for the part of male lead."

Mike is the first to raise his hand, "Mr. Schue?"

"Yes Mike." The glee coach smiles at him disarmingly.

The dancer clears his throat and slowly lowers his hand, "I'm not exactly comfortable being a lead singer. I mean I love to sing and dance, but I really don't think I can compare to Rachel and it would probably like weaken the performance."

Rachel speaks before Mr. Schue can, "Michael, you have a wonderful voice, however I really don't want to make you do something you aren't entirely comfortable doing. I would however like if we could perhaps sing something together, even if you aren't the male lead, if that's okay with you?"

Mike smiles at her and nods his head, "I mean yeah sure Rachel. I mean if you really want to. I'm not that good, definitely not what you're used to."

The tiny diva scoffs slightly, smiling at him brightly, "Hush you silly. We're going to blow them away."

Rachel goes and sits back down next to Quinn and sighs contentedly as the blonde wraps her hand in hers gently as they both keep their eyes forward and attempting to pay attention to Mr. Schue.

Santana leans forward and whispers, "Mama says that this weekend our sleepover is gonna be at my house, she says she hasn't seen the hobbit in forever and she's starting to believe she doesn't care about her."

Rachel and Quinn's heads snap back to look at Santana with raised eyebrows and Santana holds up her phone and shrugs sheepishly, "She's learned how to text."

Quinn chuckles and Rachel giggles slightly, "Tell her we'll definitely be there, as if we had a choice there."

The slightly taller brunette smirks and types out a quick text back and then laughs under her breath, "I don't know if it's a good thing that she's learned how to text properly or not. This has the ability to turn into a huge liability. I am the chances of this turning around into a rather large catastrophe of epic proportions is greater than the chances of it serving as an asset."

Rachel grins and laughs out loud when she notices Kurt and Mercedes' similar looks of shock. She clears her throat and says loud enough for Santana to hear, "San? Your smart is showing…"

The cheerleader in question looks at her as if to say 'the hell are you on.' But then she notices the looks on Kurt and Mercedes' faces and she raises an eyebrow, "What? Does it seriously surprise you? I'm in AP classes for fucks sake. Just cuz I chose to talks the way I talks don't mean I don't have the knowledge or ability to talk like I actually know what the hell I'm on about."

Quinn bites her tongue to stop from adding to that and the two gossips nod their heads and Kurt ever the braver one says, "Actually it's just…unusual. We've never actually heard you talk like."

Santana smirks raising an eyebrow at them, "Well then by all means, that gives you two every right to look shocked that I can string two words together that make sense and don't have added s's at the end."

Kurt fumbles a little before recovering, smiling slightly, "It's nice to meet the real Santana."

She chuckles and lifts her head up in a hello. The boy questions, "So is this how you talk when you're at home?"

The cheerleader scoffs and nods her head, "Of course. You think my mama would let me talk like I don't know what grammar is? I just like talkin like that in front of people who don't know me, and in front of Berry and Q cuz they're kinda sticklers for proper grammar and shit like that."

Quinn snorts slightly but doesn't say anything, choosing instead to lightly play with Rachel's hand, loving the feel of her skin sliding across hers. The tiny brunette throws a smile her direction before once again turning to pay attention to Santana, "Actually it isn't so much that as it is a shame that you choose to speak that way considering just how smart you are Santana. It just baffles me that you'd not mind people not thinking you are simply because of how you talk."

Santana smiles slightly at her but before anything can be said Mr. Schue is clearing his throat, "Would you girls like to say something?"

Despite what Santana thinks the tiny diva is going to do, Rachel actually simply grins, "No Mr. Schue, we're actually finished here, you can go on."

Santana has to clasp a hand across her mouth to stop herself from laughing out loud.

The Spanish teacher shakes his head and continues on with his lesson, and once his attention is focused elsewhere Santana leans forward and nudges the brunette, "You are seriously learning short-stack. That was hella badass."

Rachel giggles and nods but then she shushes her, "Yes I agree however I don't think I can do it again if he says anything to us again so if you please. I really would rather be prepared."

Santana smiles knowing that she cant see her and leans back, letting Brittany snuggle into her side once again, "You're super cute when you think no one is watching. You're cute all the time but like…now? You don't think anyone saw you smile like that but I did and I think it's the cutest thing ever."

Santana blushes and tightens her grip on the blonde's waist and badly feigns ignorance badly, "Shh I don't know what you're talking about. You're cute."

Brittany giggles and hums, "Mmhmm mkay San."

A/N: Right so next chapter...the elusive date haha Leave me a review and maybe what you expect on this date?
