AN: Yay another update. Thank you to my loyal readers and followers. I also want to say thank you to everyone for your kind reviews.
Walking into the gym, Rae couldn't help but be impressed by the transformation that the dance committee had completed. They had turned the gym into an autumn harvest moon in a matter of hours and managed to make it look classy instead of cheesy.
"Rae-Rae dance with me" Brittany demanded as a fast techno/house song began playing.
Rae allowed herself to be dragged out onto the dance floor and began dancing with her best friend. Soon Santana, Quinn, and Puck joined the two friends on the floor.
An hour later found Rae jacket less and singing back up for Blaine Anderson who happened to be the Captain for Dalton's basketball team and dating Kurt.
"I'm not going to teach him how to dance with you
He's got two left feet..."
Winking at her girlfriend whom was dancing with Puck, Rae gave herself to the music and danced around with Blaine and Tina.
When the song finished, Rae got off the stage and grabbed a glass of punch to quench the dryness in the back of her throat. Hearing a squeal of delight Rae turns towards the sound and finds her self once again being lead out onto the dance floor, this time by Kurt. Stopping for a moment the tiny guard smiles as she recognizes the beginning of Duck Sauce's Barbra Streisand. Soon the two began dancing as they had in the mall the previous year when the boy convinced her not to get a nose job after getting elbowed in the face during basketball practice. Soon the entire junior class as well as half the senior class were joining in on the dance that started with her and Kurt as well as the glee club kids.
"Attention students, would the nominees for Home Coming King and Queen please make their way to the stage." Principal Figgins monotone voice began. "Nominees for Home Coming Queen are; Quinn Fabray, Santana Lopez, and Tina Cohen-Chang. Your nominations for Home Coming King are; Finn Hudson, Noah Puckerman and Michael Chang."
Rae stands with Brittany clapping and whistling as the home coming court nominees were announced.
"And your Home Coming Queen is, Drum roll please... Quinn Fabray."
Rae beams with pride and cheers when her beautiful girlfriend is crowned.
"Now for your king... It seems we have anarchy students, with the majority of write in votes, your Home Coming King is, your State Champion and MVP, Rae Berry."
Rae stands there shocked as the gym erupts in cheers, aside from Finn whom looks like a Heinz tomato as his anger eats at him from once again losing to Rae. Finally Brittany pushes Rae up to the stage. Accepting her Crown Rae turns to her girlfriend and is met with a gentle smile and sparkling hazel eyes. Neither of them notice Finn storm off stage as Figgins announces them for their obligatory dance together as King and Queen. Rae bows to her lady and giggles when Quinn courtesies in return before taking Rae's offered hand. Rae doesn't really hear what song is being sang as she stares into Quinn's eyes with soft wonder and amazement. Two weeks ago Quinn barely acknowledged that Rae was a human and now the head cheerleader was her girlfriend, after she had been the one pursuing Rae. Leaning in Rae kisses her girl chastely as she remembers their surroundings, once the song ended.
The couple make their way over to the photo booth to have their obligatory pictures taken as the Home Coming King and Queen, and then a group picture was taken of Rae, Puck and the Un-Holy Trinity.
Returning back to where the punch was set up, Rae has a glass as Sue watches her like a hawk.
"Drink up Berry, you actually earned it this time. But then again I never expected anything less then a State Championship from you and for once you didn't disappoint or make me regret in making you team captain."
"Umm.. Thank you Coach."
"Yeah Yeah don't mention it. Now go and dance with my head Cheerio."
Rae finished her cup and wondered back out on to the dance floor to where Britt was dancing with Mike and Santana and Quinn were laughing at something Puck was telling them.
Looking up at the stage Rae saw Blaine motioning for her to join him once again. Quinn watched the two friends as they conversed for a moment then the beginning notes to Best Day of my Life were heard.
"I had a dream so big and loud
I jumped so high I touched the clouds
Wo-o-o-o-o-oh, Wooh
I stretched my hands out to the sky
We danced with monsters through the night
Wo-o-o-o-o-oh, Wooh..."
Quinn smiled as she watched her girlfriend and Blaine sing and dance.
"Hey Q-Ball."
"Hey Santana. Where is Britt?"
"She went to talk to coach for a moment. She is helping in trying to set up a song for Becky and needs Coach to convince Becky to go upon stage or at least go to the front of the crowd."
"What song and who is singing?"
"Britt didn't tell me what song and as far as I know it will be the boys and Rae singing to her. C'mon lets get our dance on."
Quinn danced with her best friend while they waited for Brittany to come back. The two friends giggled as Rae and Puck sing Bowling for Soups "Girl all the bad Guys Want".
Looking out into the crowd Rae throws a wink out to Quinn as she sings the last verse
"...Now I am watching wrestling
trying to be a tough guy
listening to rap metal with turn tables in my eyes
I cant grow a mustache
and I ain't got no season pass
All I got is a moped..."
Taking a breather for a few moments and a drink from the bottle of water that Brittany had brought during the last song with a thumbs up indicating that the plan was a go. Rae watched as Sue gently maneuvered Becky into the front of the stage before speaking to the crowd.
"Alright everyone we are going to bring a little country back in this place for a minute or two. Yeah yeah, I know," Rae continued when hearing the grumbling and a few groans. "But this is for a special woman here tonight. To remind her that the actions of two uncouth football players is not the opinion held by the rest of us. Becky this is for you pretty girl from all of us up here."
"We go out to a party somewhere
The moment we walk in the door
People stop and everybody stares
She don't know what they're staring for
She don't know she's beautiful
(Never crossed her mind)
She don't know she's beautiful
(No, she's not that kind)
She don't know she's beautiful
Though time and time I've told her so
There she goes just walking down the street
And someone lets a whistle out
A girl like her, she just can't see
What the fuss is all about
And she don't know she's beautiful
(Never crossed her mind)
She don't know she's beautiful
(No, she's not that kind)
She don't know she's beautiful
Though time and time I've told her so
Mornin' comes and her hair's all a mess
That's when she thinks she looks her worst
It's times like this she don't know why
I can't take my eyes off her
And she don't know she's beautiful
(Never crossed her mind)
She don't know she's beautiful
(No, she's not that kind)
She don't know she's beautiful
Though time and time I've told her
She don't know she's beautiful
(Never crossed her mind)
She don't know she's beautiful
(No, she's not that kind)
She don't know she's beautiful
Though time and time I've told her
She don't know she's beautiful
(Never crossed her mind)
She don't know she's beautiful
(No, she's not that kind)
She don't know she's beautiful
Though time and time I've told her"
When the song was over, Quinn had tears in her eyes. Some how Rae had convinced some of the most popular boys, probably with the help of Puck, to sing Kenny Chesney's She don't know she's beautiful to Becky. It was the sweetest thing that Quinn could remember being done for the assistant coach. Rae hoped off the stage and was enveloped in a big hug by the downs girl and proceeded to hug the rest of the guys that had been on stage. Rae walked up to Quinn and gave the cheerleader a small smile.
"I hope you're not mad Qui.."
The rest of the sentence was cut off when Quinn pressed her lips to Rae's.
"That was soo sweet of you to do Rae."
Rae was blushing at Quinn's exclamation.
Shrugging Rae pulls Quinn closer and begins to dance with her as Tina, Kurt and Blaine began singing Feel It In My Bones. The couple danced together for a few songs before sitting down at a table, well more like Quinn sitting in Rae's lap as they watched their friends out on the floor having fun.
Second AN Note: So as a rule of personal thumb I dislike including entire songs in my fics, generally because I feel it doesn't add anything to a fic unless it is broken down with thoughts and actions in between verses. However I felt the Kenny Chesney song was perfect as it fit Rae's view of Becky as mentioned earlier in the fic.
