AN: So it is with my shit luck That I would fall and land on my ass, smash my back and jam my shoulder. The upside is my shoulder seems to have healed. I think I need to get my back checked out though. Anyway thank you to my faithful followers and your kind reviews. My muse seems to be hiding for this story but wont shut up regarding my other story. Good thing I have chapters already typed out. ;)
"Oh My God Rae, this is fantastic." Quinn squealed as the two teenagers pulled up to the art gallery. Rae had kept their date simple yet intimate. The tiny guard had taken Quinn to a cozy mom and pop restaurant just outside of Lima, that Rae had been going to for years. They had some of the best vegan dishes as well as homemade comfort food dishes that Rae had ever had. Rae had given up being a vegan when research turned up that the substitutes that were used weren't always all natural or good for the body.
During the last two weeks Rae had been learning as much as possible about Quinn. Rae learned that she missed old fashioned home cooked meals and enjoyed painting and photography. So Rae had planned to have their dinner at her favourite restaurant that specialized in home cooked meals and then take Quinn to the gallery that just opened.
"I'm glad you like it Quinn."
Quinn leaned over and sweetly kissed Rae on the cheek before getting out of the truck. Smoothing down her white sun dress, she had worn it as it was unseasonably warm this October evening, and waited for Rae to come around the front of the vehicle and escort her into the Gallery.
Accepting a glass of sparkling cider, Rae watches Quinn move around and simply immerse herself in the photography displays. Watching Quinn's face light up as she enjoyed her surroundings, the simple pleasure of enjoying herself without worrying about what others thought of her, brought a smile to Rae's face. Rae had made the decision to stop taking the suppressants earlier in the week but was unsure how to tell Quinn. Rae had gotten so angry about how her fathers had taken away her choice and how they had dismissed her concerns and fears that she had been born in the wrong body. Now she had a chance to let nature take its natural course and let her body and herself become what she should have grown into. Rae had spoken to a lawyer to look into the double birth certificates and turns out that as both were issued and registered the same day, both were considered legal in a court of law, so Rae B. Berry was legally both a male and female.
"Hey my beautiful girl, you enjoy yourself tonight?' Rae asked wrapping her arms around Quinn's waist as they stood on Quinn's front porch.
"I did Rae. Thank you for a perfect night."
"I'm glad Quinn. You deserve it. You deserve so much more and if you will let me, I would like to try and give them to you."
Smiling, Quinn kisses Rae repeatedly leaving them both breathless. It was the sweetest thing that anyone had ever said to her.
"Okay pretty girl you need to go on in now. I have a state championship to win tomorrow and a hot date for the home coming dance afterwards. You may know her.. she has the potential to be homecoming queen." Rae teased the head cheerleader.
"Yeah? Well she sounds pretty lucky to have snagged you as a date."
"I like to think that I'm the lucky one, she did ask me to go with her after all." Rae replied softly. "Now I told your mom I would have you home early tonight and you are making me look bad. I will see you tomorrow."
Laughing softly, Quinn kisses Rae one last time before walking through her front door.
The roar of the crowd was deafening. The McKinley Titans were up 96 - 86 in the last 2 minutes of the game. Rae was on a hot streak and had moved through Dalton's defensive plays like butter. So far the tiny guard had been able to avoid the attempted screens and was able to set up play after play. Rae was currently working towards a triple double. She had scored 40 points, had 15 assists and was at 9 rebounds. Watching the movements of the opposing player, Rae read the pass set up as they reached center court. Signalling Noah for the pass and go steal, Rae catches the Dalton forward on a cross over dribble and passes the ball immediately to Noah for the easy lay-up, who in turn plays the ball off the backboard, allowing Rae to catch the rebound, sink the easy basket and achieve the triple double. Grinning Rae fist bumps Puck and immediately falling back to defense.
Dalton rallied back with 2 three point conversion free throws. Glancing up at the stop clock Rae notices that the last 30 seconds are winding down, tuning out the crowd Rae focus's on the attempted screen and slips around it catching the pass the guard had set up. Dribbling into Dalton's end, Rae slows down her pace avoiding the attempted foul, her small size and speed working to her advantage, with the last five seconds left, Rae alley-ops Finn for the slam dunk at the buzzer. The McKinley gym erupts in cheers, the Titans were State Champions.
Final score 100 - 92.
Rae is hoisted up onto Puck and Mike's shoulders as the fans began to spill on to the court in celebration of the win. Finally the two boys put Rae back on the ground so she can congratulate Dalton on a great game before being presented with the trophy. Basking in the moment Rae accepts the award for the game MVP. On Monday there would be an assembly to present players with their championship rings (Coach Sylvester pre ordered them, as failure was not an option, nor was it in Sues vocabulary) along with the awards for MVP, Most points in a game, and Most points in the season. Looking around, Rae spots her beautiful girlfriend looking on, beaming with pride at Rae for having been named the games Most Valuable Player. Winking, Rae blows Quinn a kiss before turning to her teammates and being engulfed by fist bumps high fives and overall congratulations.
"Finally," Rae thought to herself as she made her way back to the Cheerios locker room. She stops as she nears the corner hearing two voices arguing.
"For the last time Finn, We. Are. Not. Going. To. The. Dance. Together! You need to stop harassing me about this." Rae quirks an eyebrow at her girls obvious agitation towards the clumsy giant
"But I scored the final basket in tonight's game..."
"Yeah, after MY girlfriend, you know the game MVP, set you up with an easy alley-op" Quinn sarcastically replied.
"Pffft, so what? On Monday I will be named the season MVP, which will be so much cooler." Finn puffed out
Rae decided to make her presence known. "Hi baby. You ready to leave?"
"Rae! I thought you were going to shower first before leaving?"
"Nah, I decided not to seeing as I would just shower again once I got home in order to look my best for my date to the dance to night. Maybe you know her Finn?" At the tall jocks confused look Rae continues, "Yeah she stands about 5'4, has the most beautiful hazel eyes, blonde hair sexy voice, oh and she's the head cheerleader. Now show some fucking respect and Back. The. Fuck. Off. of my girl Hudson." Quinn placed her hand on Raes back rubbing soothing circles in an attempt to calm the pint sized guard
"Or what?" Finn asked scowling while trying to intimidate the smaller player by towering over her.
Smirking, Rae lifts her arm and snaps her fingers.
"Yo Cap what's going on?" "Trouble with frankenteen Berry?" Puck and Santana asked respectively.
"I don't know Hudson, do we have a problem or do you now understand that Quinn is off limits to you as a girlfriend?"
"You don't own or control her." Finn sulked out
"You're right I don't. Quinn is her own person and if she chooses to have a friendship with you despite how disrespectful you are to her, then that is her decision. I honestly thought that you and I had an understanding Finn that you had finally come to realize that you're not in love with Quinn but the idea of her."
Scowling Finn kicked a locker and walked away. He may not have understood all that was said but he understood enough to know that he had been out maneuvered.
"I would hug you right now baby but you stink."
Rae pouted for a minute before shrugging with a devious glint in her eye.
"That's fine Quinn. Where's Britt Santana?"
"Right here Rae-Rae." The bubbly cheerleader answered for her girlfriend as she handed Rae her things. "Sani said I needed to get your bag and jacket from your locker because Finn was being a d-bag."
"Thank you Duckie. See you at my place in few minutes?"
"You bet Rae."
Ignoring Quinn Rae turns her attention to Puck. "Noah you ready dude?"
Seeing the smirk playing upon Rae's face Puck. "You bet JewBro."
The two ballers began walking away leaving a smirking Santana, a giggling Brittany and scowling Quinn.
"I thought I was riding with you Rae."
"Well seeing as it was stated that I stink too badly for a hug Quinn, I figured you could catch a ride with Santana and Brittany so you wouldn't be confined in a small space with my decidedly sweaty smelly self. Well at least that's the considerate thing to do when ones partner has stated the body odour of the other is too over whelming to express affectionate contact?" Rae rambled/ranted innocently before turning away and walking down the hall with Puck, covertly fist bumping him.
"She got you there Q. C'mon I'll give a ride back to Berry's seeing as we're all going there anyway."
Second AN Note: Thank you to those of you that have left reviews so far no one has had anything rude to say. Like I said I don't mind bad reviews as long as there is something constructive about it.
