"So, Brittany informs me that you're in love. When do I get to meet her?" Lucas Fabray asked leaning back in the booth as he watched his twin brother stare at the menu.

"Lucas, there seems to be a mistake, I don't see any meat on this menu," Charlie responds flipping the page. Going to the theatre wasn't his thing, sure he liked Rachel well enough and he was happy for her, but he didn't like dressing up to go to watch a musical.

"Rachel's a vegan remember?" Lucas sighed, rubbing at his temples and hoping that Rachel would show up soon.

"Yes, I know that. I don't see what that has to do with the menu. I got dressed up, I got a ride down here and I came to support your girlfriend—"

"About that," Lucas interrupts leaning forward. He looks around the restaurant and then at his brother. "I bought a ring—"

"I don't see what that has to do with the lack of meat on the menu."

"Focus Charlie. I want to ask Rachel to marry me and I mean I heard you took Brittany and her boyfriend to see the dolphins. Look I just want this to be super romantic, like maybe at sunset—"

"No."

"No?"

"Dolphin's don't just stay in one place they migrate, I'm not going to go searching for dolphins for you so you can ask Rachel to marry you. You'll be disappointed if I don't find any. And then you'll blame me for ruining your proposal. Seriously Lucas, I'm due a cheeseburger and some cheap beer."

"Well then what am I supposed to do? Rachel's a romantic, and I want her to be talking about it for weeks bragging about how romantic I am as she shows off the ring I got for her." Lucas pulls out his phone and flips through some pictures and pushes the device towards his identical twin so he can see a photo of it.

Charlie eyes the ring for a moment before looking at Lucas, studying his brother. "Someone has been living on cheap ramen and water, no wonder you look awful."

"It was worth it. She's worth it. So, I need this to be special Charlie. I need her to know that I put some thought and effort into this. You have a boat, several I mean there has to be somewhere romantic that you can think of."

Charlie sighed, "I know a few spots, but seeing as you brought me to a vegan place and you've commandeered my apartment, you're paying me for the boat ride and taking you around."

Lucas narrowed his eyes at Charlie, as the door opened and Rachel hurried in. "I'll tell mom," he hissed quietly.

"Go ahead," Charlie shrugged. "She'll probably pay me to do it anyway and tip me extra if the events are favorable for you," he flicks his eyes up at Rachel who smiles brightly at him. "Hey Rachel. Your performance was amazing, like usual."

Rachel made a face, "I missed the high note, at the end. So, it wasn't perfect."

"Well I didn't notice," Charlie said standing up and giving Rachel a quick side hug. "Your boyfriend is being mean, there's not even cheap beer here."

Rachel laughed and sat down beside Lucas, turning to give him a quick kiss. "It's terrible isn't it, I told him it was okay if we went somewhere that you can eat but he just scoffed and said you could stand to lose a few pounds. But from where I'm sitting you look good Charlie."

Lucas frowned and shot Rachel a wounded look, "Are you flirting with my brother?"

"Yes, we've been having a torrid affair behind your back Lucas," Charlie replied dryly shaking his head as Rachel laughed.

Lucas scowled, "We were talking about Charlie's girlfriend, Brittany says she's gorgeous."

Rachel elbowed Lucas, "She is, I met her but I don't understand why you can't just tell her who you are."

"She'll find out at the end of summer," Charlie shrugged. Which was like three weeks away anyway.

Rachel hesitated for a moment, "I thought you would have brought it up," she turns to Lucas.

"I was going to, but I was trying to get information out of him," Lucas muttered back. "Plus, he's been complaining ever since we got here."

Charlie narrowed his eyes and closed the menu. He could already feel a headache coming on. "What?"

Rachel flashed him a smile, which probably meant that he wasn't going to like what Rachel had to say. "Well, I have the next weekend off and we were thinking of heading up to the Hamptons for a bit of rest and relaxation. I checked the weather and it's not supposed to rain."

Charlie flicked his eyes towards Lucas who smiled at him, his brother was a dick. This is why he avoided his family like the plague. "You want to come to the Hamptons?"

"Yeah, you know hangout for a bit. We were hoping to stay with you. You have a guest bedroom, don't you?"

"Brittany mentioned dolphins?" Rachel says with a smile. "I've never seen dolphins before."

Charlie sighed well it seemed that Santana was going to find out sooner than he would have personally liked, "I'll see if I can find the dolphins they are not stationary they move," Charlie shrugged. Trust Lucas to be a cheap-ass when it came to asking Rachel to marry him. "Sure, you can stay with me. So long as I can eat my normal food and you can eat your rabbit food."

Rachel grinned, "Deal! Now tell us about Santana. How did you meet? What's her favorite color? How old is she?"

"Her father came in to rent a party boat, you know the event you're all coming to at the end of the summer. She saw me, she decided to follow me around. She made a bet with me, she lost, I took her out on my boat. We had sex—there was a lot of sex. I don't know what her favorite color is, if I had to guess, it's red. And she's Brittany's age and a former cheerleader."

Rachel glances at Lucas, even she could see the dusting of red on Charlie's face. He was embarrassed which meant that he actually liked her. "Well, she's lovely. Where is she going to school next year?"

"Yale," Charlie muttered.

"Oh?" Lucas says leaning in.

"This is a summer fling, we both agreed," Charlie insists immediately. "I don't even really like her," he lies.

"Charlie, you don't have sex daily with girls you really don't like. You don't introduce your family to a girl you really don't like," Rachel points out gently.

"You don't take a girl you really don't like to Dave and Buster's," Lucas added.

"He did? I didn't know that," Rachel smiles at Charlie. "She's special to you and it's okay to admit it."

Charlie narrowed his eyes, "I have no idea why you insist on teasing me, we're going out next weekend to the middle of nowhere. No one will know if I push you both off my boat and drive away."

Rachel laughed and leaned in against Lucas, "Well at the very least you should be honest with her and tell her that you're a Fabray. She probably likes you, despite you know—you're you."

"What's that mean?"

"It means you're a grumpy son of a bitch and I need to meet her to find out what's wrong with her if she finds you attractive," Lucas filled in, grinning when Rachel elbows him. "He is. I mean he usually turns girls off by talking to them, so even if they're interested in how he looks—well we're good looking guys, but when he speaks they think he's a dick."

Charlie tilted his head at his brother, "She finds it attractive," he says after a moment.

"A rarity indeed," Rachel tilts her head. "You shouldn't let her go if you can help it, at least I wouldn't. Who knows how many beautiful women would find your general disposition attractive."

"And they say that I'm the dick," Charlie muttered under his breath. Rachel and Quinn were made for one another.
