Chapter 2: Pictures, Preparations, and Proposals

July 20, 2017

"Okay, we are at Bryant Park," Kurt announced to the group. "We are going to take your pride pictures. Remember, you two have to be happy and in love."

"Easier said than done," Quinn grumbled.

"For once, I actually agree with Quinn."

"I am glad to hear that you two actually agree on something, but it's either you two pretend to be in love or you both go to jail," Kurt reminded the two women.

"That's an excellent point. Please continue," Quinn said.

"Okay, for this picture, I want Quinn to give Rachel a piggyback ride," Kurt instructed, "Rachel, you will hold this mini LGBT flag."

Rachel took the flag from Kurt. She turned her head over to Quinn. "You ready?"

"Yeah," the blonde responded. She bent down so Rachel could get on her back. "Hop on."

"I know where your hands are supposed to go, so don't even think about copping a feel," Rachel asserted while getting on Quinn's back.

"You are so full of yourself. Trust me, I am not going to cop a feel." The young reporter adjusted her position and held onto Rachel's legs. "By the way, I think you need to lay off the fries. You're kind of heavy."

"Excuse me? You need to work out. I only weigh 117 pounds, which is less than the weight of an average American woman!"

"Focus! We just need a picture," Kurt reminded the two women. "Rachel, hold up the LGBT flag, and I want to see you two smile! That's perfect! Hold that position!" He took several pictures and inspected them on the camera to make sure they weren't blurry. "All right, these will do!"

"Finally," Quinn abruptly let go Rachel. The brunette almost lost her balance while landing on the ground.

"You could have told me you were letting go!" Rachel complained.

"I'm sorry. I didn't have time to tell you. I was too weak to hold onto your 117 pound body," Quinn sarcastically replied.

"You are so irritating!"

"Thank you," Quinn grinned.

"That was not a compliment!"

Kurt observed the two arguing again. He wondered if they were ever going to get along. They were like cats and dogs, always bickering. It was going to be a long day.


Before heading to the next destination, Kurt had the two women change their outfits in the public restrooms. If Rachel and Quinn were photographed wearing the same clothes in every picture, the immigration authorities would get suspicious.

"There it is! The Love Wall by James Goldcrown," Kurt pointed out. "The perfect place to take couple pictures. I love how he painted the hearts with different colors."

"I do too!" Rachel exclaimed.

"So for this picture, I want you two to hold hands in front of the mural. And please, no complaining or at least wait until I take the picture," Kurt pleaded.

"I could do that," Quinn looked over to Rachel, "can you?"

"Just be quiet and hold my hand," Rachel scoffed.

The blonde rolled her eyes and grabbed Rachel's hand and interlaced their fingers together.

"That's perfect! I need you two to smile and look at the camera. Hold that pose!" Kurt said while taking pictures of the two. "Okay! You two can let go now."

"Finally!" Quinn let go of Rachel's hand. "Ugh why are your hands so sweaty?"

"It's hot! Of course, they're sweaty!"

"Mine aren't."

"Everyone's hands are different, Quinn!"

"And here we go again," Kurt sighed.


The trio spent the whole day taking pictures around New York City and they were exhausted. Rachel and Quinn were tired from pretending to be a couple. While Kurt was drained from constantly trying to stop the two from arguing. After a long day, they decided to go to Kurt and Rachel's apartment to take a break and to start planning the wedding.

"Blaine is going to come over later to film the proposal video. He already picked up a cubic zirconia engagement ring we can use," Kurt informed Rachel and Quinn, "he's also bringing candles and rose petals to use as props."

"We have to do a proposal video? Isn't a picture enough?" the blonde asked.

"For couples who are actually in a relationship, a proposal picture is sufficient, but not for you two. We have to show immigration that your love is real, so we have to be a little extra," Kurt explained.

"Okay, so who is going to propose to who?" Quinn asked.

"You," Kurt stated.

"Me?! Why me?"

"If I proposed to you, it'll look suspicious. Immigration will immediately assume that I only proposed because I didn't want to leave the country," Rachel stated.

"Rachel's right, Quinn. If you proposed, it'll look more romantic and believable."

Quinn sighed, "Fine. I'll do it."

"Wow, don't sound too excited," Rachel sarcastically said.

"You're right. Let me try again," Quinn looked at Rachel, "I am so excited! I can't wait to propose to you!" the blonde taunted.

Rachel glared at Quinn. "You really are infuriating."

"Let's not argue again! We still have to plan the wedding and the reception," Kurt reminded them.

"I'm sorry. I'm all ears," Rachel apologized.

"For the ceremony, you two are going to get married at the New York City's Clerk Office in a civil ceremony on August 1. We just have to apply for the marriage license at least 24 hours before the ceremony."

"Who is going to be the witnesses to the wedding?" Rachel asked.

"Me and Blaine. If immigration asks why you only had two guests at the ceremony, you can tell them that you two wanted it to be an intimate ceremony," Kurt explained.

"Wow, you really thought this through," the blonde commented.

"I have done my research."

"What about the reception? Is it going to be at a restaurant?" Rachel inquired.

"Yes. I'm friends with the owner of The Violet Road and he can give us a pretty good discount to rent out the private room."

"I did a feature story on the owners of The Pastry Sheet in Queens. They still remember me and I could probably get a discount on the cake," the young reporter informed Kurt.

"Fantastic!" Kurt exclaimed. "I could have Blaine get cheap wedding bands for you two. I also know a florist, so we can get the bouquets for a cheap price."

"For our dresses, we can just go shopping at Forever 21. We can also do our own hair and makeup to save money," Rachel suggested.

"Great idea, Rach!"

"Who are we going to invite to the reception?" Rachel wondered.

"To make it believable, you both need to invite some of your friends."

"What about relatives? Wouldn't immigration be suspicious if none of our relatives are there?" the blonde asked.

"True, but do you have any relatives that you actually want to invite?"

"No! My dads can never find out that I got married for a green card," Rachel adamantly stated, "they'll be furious."

"Honestly, I don't want my mom or my sister to find out too. I don't think my mom could handle it."

"In that case, we can say that Quinn's family wasn't invited because they don't accept her being with a woman. And Rachel, you could say that your dads weren't there because they disapprove of you marrying so young."

"Kurt, I'm really impressed," Rachel complimented.

Kurt laughed, "well, I am a genius."

"So, is there anything else we need to do before Blaine comes over?" Quinn asked.

"No, so you two can rest."


"Rachel Berry, will you marry me?" Quinn asked with a serious tone.

"Cut!"

"Rachel Berry! Will you marry me?!" The blonde insincerely smiled.

"Cut!"

"Rachel Berry, can you just marry me already?!" Quinn exasperated.

"Cut!"

Quinn yawned, "Rachel Berry, will you marry me?"

Rachel rolled her eyes, "Yes, I will marry you."

"Cut! What was that?! There was no romance!"

Blaine made his way over to his boyfriend and started massaging Kurt's shoulders. "Babe, try to calm down."

"I'm sorry, but that was horrible!" Kurt turned his attention to the blonde. "Quinn, you are proposing to the love of your life. You need to be more romantic. Hold Rachel's hand or something."

"I'm having a hard time being romantic. I don't have feelings for her," Quinn admitted.

"I know, but people don't need to know that! You just have to convince them that you do."

Kurt looked at his best friend. "Rachel," he began, "your girlfriend is proposing to you. I need you to be more emotional and cry."

"I'm sorry, I can't be emotional when when I'm being proposed to by a robot!" Rachel criticized.

"Stop blaming it all on me. Your acting was terrible," Quinn shot back, "you didn't even cry."

"You couldn't even propose right! All you had to say was, I love you. You are the love of my life. Will you marry me? There! It was so easy!" Rachel hollered.

"It's not that easy because I have to pretend to be in love with you!" Quinn countered.

"Excuse me, what I have to do is harder. Not only I have to pretend to be in love with you, I also have to cry!" Rachel fumed.

"That shouldn't be a problem for you. I mean, you did go to NYADA, right? The number one college in the nation for musical theater, so you should be a pro in acting," the blonde jested.

Rachel scowled, "you did not just say that!"

"I believe I did."

The brunette huffed, "you know what? You're right. This shouldn't be hard for me because I am a professional, and I learned how to work with inexperienced people." She took a deep breath. "Kurt, I'm ready for another take." She stepped closer to the blonde. "Are you ready or do you need a moment?"

Quinn took a step forward and looked at Rachel straight in the eyes. "No, let's get this proposal done."

"Okay, I hope you two translate that intensity to this proposal. Quinn and Rachel's proposal take five. Action!" Kurt exclaimed.

"Rachel," Quinn began, "from the moment I met you, I knew you were special." She grabbed Rachel's hands and interlaced their fingers. "You were different from all the people I've dated. In just a short amount of time, you brought me love and happiness. I realized that you are the love of my life. I love you and I can't live without you." The blonde bent down in one knee and took out a jewelry box. She opened the box to reveal a sparking engagement ring. "So, will you marry me?"

Rachel gasped, holding back tears. "Oh my god! Yes, yes, I'll marry you!"

Quinn took the ring from its box and slid the ring onto Rachel's finger.

"Cut! That was amazing!"

"Yeah, I really believed that you two were in love! Awesome job!" Blaine complimented them.

Quinn stood up from her position and stared at Rachel, "and that's how you propose to someone!"

Rachel rolled her eyes, "whatever, I was better."

"What? You didn't even cry," Quinn scoffed.

"I was holding back my tears. It's an acting technique!"

"Okay, before you both start arguing again, I have something to tell you both," Kurt announced.

"Go ahead, Kurt. We're listening," Rachel said.

"First, good job today. I know it was really challenging to take pictures and to film the proposal video, but I am proud of you both. Second, you two need to start introducing each other to your friends."

"Now? Couldn't we just invite them to the reception?" Rachel questioned.

"No, you need to start convincing people that you and Quinn are an actual couple," Kurt clarified, "immigration will interview people about your relationship."

"If you can convince people that you two are a couple, they can verify that your relationship is real," Blaine said in support of Kurt.

"Fine, you guys make a good point," Rachel acknowledged.

"Quinn?"

"I guess."

"All right, in that case, are you two free for drinks tomorrow at the Callbacks? Rach, I can invite some of our friends."

"I'm free," the brunette said. Quinn nodded her head in agreement.

"This will be your first test. You and Quinn really need to convince our friends that you are in love with each other."

"Kurt and I will be there to support you both. If you two can act like how did during that proposal, then you two will be fine," Blaine encouraged the two women.

"Blaine is right. I have faith in you two. You both can do this."
