-Chapter-25-

-Quinn pov-

Today is a day to get to know my family. My grandparents have everything ready. I also am here with Rachel, Fran, and my mom. We have been looking at old tapes of my moms recitals.

"So you could sing and dance?" Mom nods with a small smile "Why did you stop?"

"Women are meant to be seen not heard" She frowns as my dads words leave her mouth "I was afraid I would cost you two something if I kept going"

"Well now you know that you will not" Grandma stands up and walks over to the record "You always did love Sinatra!"

"I could not sing it if I wanted" Fran and I pout at her and she sighs "Fine! I will sing fly me to the moon!"

-Judy singing-

Fly me to the moon

Let me play among the stars

Let me see what spring is like

On a-Jupiter and Mars

In other words: hold my hand

In other words: baby, kiss me

Fill my heart with song

And let me sing for ever more

You are all I long for

All I worship and adore

In other words: please, be true

In other words: I love you

Fill my heart with song

Let me sing for ever more

You are all I long for

All I worship and adore

In other words: please, be true

In other words, in other words: I love you

"You still sound amazing!" Grandma hugs mom tightly "I have missed hearing your voice!"

"It is sad Emma could not join us" Grandpa looks over at Rachel "Are you musically talented?"

"Well I am quite the singer!" I groan with Fran as Rachel quickly dashes over to the records "Let me see what you all have in here! I bet you have a great collection!"

"Such a charmer" i raise a eyebrow at my lip biting grandma "Always could use some excitement"

"NO!" Fran frowns and I try to forget what I just heard "You can not steal our girlfriend!"

"Well she looks so adorable!" I look at Rachel bent over while my grandma does too "I mean look at that tail end! I mean wow!"

"What about grandpa?" I turn and see him snoring "Is he ok?"

I look at grandma who is frowning "Mamaw?" She looks at me slowly "What is wrong with pap? Why are you flirting about our girl?"

"He has had a tumor that comes back" As tears form in her eyes "We keep trying but he has just given up on it going away"

"So he is dying and you flirt with their girlfriend?" Mom stands up angry "What the hell?!"

"He told me I have to try moving on!" Grandmas tears fall down "I am trying to find my type again..I am trying to find myself again"

"I found one!" Rachel pops in a record with a smile "I think that this is an amazing song and I did not at all hear everything you said!"

-Rachel singing-

Every night in my dreams

I see you, I feel you

That is how I know you go on

Far across the distance

And spaces between us

You have come to show you go on

Near, far, wherever you are

I believe that the heart does go on

Once more you open the door

And you're here in my heart

And my heart will go on and on

Love can touch us one time

And last for a lifetime

And never let go 'til we're gone

Love was when I loved you

One true time I hold to

In my life we'll always go on

Near, far, wherever you are

I believe that the heart does go on

Once more you open the door

And you're here in my heart

And my heart will go on and on

You're here, there's nothing I fear

And I know that my heart will go on

We'll stay forever this way

You are safe in my heart

And my heart will go on and on

"Thanks Rachel" Grandma walks toward the kitchen "I think my cookies are done! Rachel please never repeat what you over heard from me!"

"Ok!" Grandma walks out and Rachel smirks at us "So do you two think I have a big butt?"

"I think it is average" Rachel glares and points to the records "I am sorry! Do not make me have to do this!"

"Record now!" Fran pouts all the way to the box "I guess you should have just paid the compliment!"

"Rachel you can not be mad for honesty" I see my mom trying to stop me too late and I sigh "I will find a song too"

"Smart choice" Rachel goes to the couch as Grandma Peggy comes back "Oh cookies!"

"Vegan chocolate chip cookies!" Rachel smiles and lays her head in her shoulder "You are so nice"

"Well I am doin this" Fran pops in a record "This will get her on my side again"

-Fran singing-

Don't tell me not to live

Just sit and putter

Life's candy and the sun's

A ball of butter

Don't bring around a cloud

To rain on my parade

Don't tell me not to fly

I've simply got to

If someone takes a spill

It's me and not you

Who told you you're allowed

To rain on my parade!

I'll march my band out

I'll beat my drum

And if I'm fanned out

Your turn at bat, sir

At least I didn't fake it

Hat, sir, I guess I didn't make it!

But whether I'm the rose

Of sheer perfection

Or freckle on the nose

Of life's complexion

The cinder or the shiny apple of its eye

I gotta fly once

I gotta try once

Only can die once, right, sir?

Ooh, life is juicy

Juicy, and you see

I gotta have my bite, sir!

Get ready for me, love

Cause I'm a "comer"

I simply gotta march

My heart's a drummer

Don't bring around a cloud

To rain on my parade!

I'm gonna live and live now

Get what I want, I know how

One roll for the whole shebang

One throw, that bell will go clang

Eye on the target, and wham

One shot, one gun shot, and bam

Hey, Mister Arnstein, here I am!

I'll march my band out

I'm beating my drum

And if I'm fanned out

Your turn at bat, sir

At least I didn't fake it

Hat, sir, I guess I didn't make it

Get ready for me, love

'Cause I'm a "comer"

I simply gotta march

My heart's a drummer

Nobody, no, nobody

Is gonna rain on my parade!

"Great choice!" Rachel pats beside her "I fit in with the crazy that is your family"

"Yes you do my big butted girl" Rachel cuddles into Fran as she sits "You got a song Lucy?"

"Yes!" I look and grab out a record "This one by Elton John!"

-Quinn singing-

When are you gonna come down

When are you going to land

I should have stayed on the farm

I should have listened to my old man

You know you can't hold me forever

I didn't sign up with you

I'm not a present for your friends to open

This boy's too young to be singing the blues

So goodbye yellow brick road

Where the dogs of society howl

You can't plant me in your penthouse

I'm going back to my plough

Back to the howling old owl in the woods

Hunting the horny back toad

Oh I've finally decided my future lies

Beyond the yellow brick road

What do you think you'll do then

I bet that'll shoot down your plane

It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics

To set you on your feet again

Maybe you'll get a replacement

There's plenty like me to be found

Mongrels who ain't got a penny

Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground

So goodbye yellow brick road

Where the dogs of society howl

You can't plant me in your penthouse

I'm going back to my plough

Back to the howling old owl in the woods

Hunting the horny back toad

Oh I've finally decided my future lies

Beyond the yellow brick road

"Good Oz reference" I smile as Rachel pats beside her when grandma moves "Come sit! We shall eat cookies and talk!"

"My god she is crazy" I sit down and cuddle into her side "I could never be more happy to be with crazy"
