Hello! Sorry it took me so long it took me so long to update. Summer classes have gotten me very busy and I'm not home a whole lot. I got a review about this story about why I apparently tagged this as a Puckleberry story. I just wanted to be clear that this is NOT a Puckleberry story. I don't know how to tag characters in this story. This story is going to be focused on FINCHEL and QUICK. There is NO Puckleberry romance whatsoever. While this story is centered on Dirty Dancing events, both couples will have their own storyline that all ties together with this story. I hope this answer questions and clears up confusion. I'm really glad you guys are liking this story! Keep reviewing!
After Quinn and Rachel left, they decided to take the long way to go back home.
"Those performers were really good," Quinn commented.
Rachel smiled. "Yeah they were. Santana has a lovely voice and Finn's is….wow." Rachel breathes. Rachel felt a blush forming on her cheeks. Yeah, Finn's voice was something. He had a voice she never heard before. His voice was beautiful but also rough and sexy at the same time.
Quinn smirked. She could totally tell Rachel has a small crush on the young singer.
"What about Noah?" Quinn asked.
Rachel looked at Quinn in confusion. "What about Noah?"
"What did you think of him?" Quinn asked nervously.
Rachel thought for a moment. "I think he is a good dancer. But his partner I think was even better. I can't even move like that."
Quinn frowns. "Yeah. Right." Quinn could help but feel a little sad. Noah Puckerman was one of the most beautiful boys she's ever meet. But his partner looked gorgeous. Way gorgeous than her. They could very well be dating.
Rachel noticed Quinn change in behavior. "Why do you ask?"
Quinn shakes her head quickly. "Nothing. I just wanted to know if you thought of him. That's all."
Rachel nods her head. Could Quinn possibly have a crush on Noah?
Quinn then interrupts Rachel's train of thought by yelling. "Hey Rachel, there's Kurt!"
Rachel turns around to see Kurt walking up a hill with three large watermelons. He seemed to be struggling.
"Let's help him," Quinn insists.
With a nod, Rachel and Quinn run the short distance to get to Kurt.
"Hey Kurt! Wait! We'll help you!" Quinn yells.
Kurt gasps and turns around in horror. "What are you two doing out here? You guys can't be here. It's for staff members only", he hisses.
"We just want to help you," Rachel says while grabbing one watermelon and holding it in her hands.
Kurt scoffed. "I don't need any help. Please get going. I don't want to get in trouble or you guys either."
Rachel and Quinn smirked at each other. "Okay, if you don't need our help, we give you these back and we'll be on our way then," Quinn says.
Then at the same time, they dump the watermelons in Kurt's arms, causing him to stumble. As Rachel and Quinn start to walk away, they hear Kurt yell. "Hey! Hold on. I could really use some help. Please."
Rachel and Quinn turn around and take the watermelons back from Kurt.
Kurt sighs and smiles at them. "Thank you. They always send me to do the heavy lifting. Honestly, I'm not that into doing the heavy lifting."
"Don't worry. It's not a problem," Rachel says.
Kurt then frowns. "Ok, but because I like both of you, I need you to promise me that you won't tell your parents or Sandy where I'm took you guys. Sandy will have my head if he found out."
Rachel and Quinn nod. "Okay," They agree in unison.
"Good. Come on."
As Rachel and Quinn follow Kurt up the hill. Kurt starts to ask them questions.
"So how old are you guys?"
Quinn answers first. "I'm 19 and Rachel is 17."
Kurt turns to beams at Rachel. "I'm 17 too."
Rachel smiles back. "Did you go to school here in Lima?"
Kurt nods. "Yeah I graduated this year."
"Me too."
"Where did you guys go to school?"
"We went to a private school in New York. Now, I'm going to Yale," Quinn answers.
Kurt stops and stares at the girls with a huge smile. "New York!? I love New York! I'm going to start going to NYADA in the fall!"
"You like music?" Quinn asks curiously.
"I love music! I love Broadway too! I'm also a big fan of fashion. As you can tell," Kurt answers while motioning to his sweater and slacks.
Quinn chuckles in amusement. "I can tell."
"Do you guys like music?"
Rachel and Quinn look at each other for a moment. Quinn then answers. "Well, I love music but not as much as my step sister does. You ought to hear her voice. She's probably the next Barbra Streisand. "
Kurt turns to Rachel. "You love to sing? You need to sing to me!"
Rachel blushes. "I'm not that good," she says quietly.
Quinn gives her a sympathetic look. "Rachel, you are wonderful."
"Quinn!" Rachel snaps causing Kurt and Quinn to jump. "Just please. Let's not get into this."
Rachel then starts to continue walking going up the hill.
Kurt hurries up to her "Rachel wait! You don't' know where you going!"
It's quiet after that. Quinn could feel the thickness in the air as Kurt leads them up the hill. She knows Rachel doesn't like to bring up music a whole lot. But Rachel is a wonderful singer. If only she believed in herself as others did. Yeah. If only.
After a few minutes, Kurt reaches the side doors. With kick, the door swings open.
Rachel and Quinn's mouths drop.
All over the room are people dancing. Everywhere along with some people singing. A lot of the girls were dressed in spaghetti strapped tops and jeans. Some of them were wearing worn out dresses. Some of the men weren't wearing any shirts and were just wearing jeans. All of them looked like they knew what they were doing.
Quinn and Rachel both tried not to look flustered as they saw some VERY inappropriate touching.
Then another male voice interrupts them at a distance. "Hey!"
They turn to see a male with black, gelled hair making his way over to Kurt. Kurt beams and reaches over to kiss the man. Rachel and Quinn eyes go wide at the action.
Breaking away, Kurt introduces Rachel and Quinn. "Quinn, Rachel, this is my boyfriend Blaine Anderson."
Rachel smiles and sticks out her hand. "Mister Anderson. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Blaine shakes her hand in return and then shakes Quinn's hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you ladies too. But you can call me Blaine."
"Of course." Quinn says.
Then the group hears yelling and whooping. Blaine then smiles at the distance. 'Finally. Their back!"
Turing around, Quinn and Rachel see Finn, Santana, Noah and Brittany walk in.
Kurt then turns to Rachel and points at Finn. "That's my step-brother Finn Hudson! He's been working here for the past four years! He got me the job here for the summer!"
Rachel turns to see Finn going up on the stage. But without Santana. Rachel sees to find Santana dancing with Brittany.
Are they dating? Rachel wonders.
Santana then leans in to kiss Brittany.
Okay. I guess that answers my question.
Turning back to Finn Hudson, he see him giving a complicated shake to a blonde hair man.
"Get on up there Huddy!" She hears the blond man say. "Let's hear ya!"
Finn then grabs the microphone and then the opening notes of Hello, I Love You starts to play. Forgetting her sister, Rachel turns her whole body towards Finn Hudson at 100% full attention.
While Rachel is watching Finn, Quinn has her eyes on one Noah Puckerman. He's wearing a white t-shirt and jeans. It might have been simple, But man did her wear the clothes well.
Quinn feels her breath stop as Noah makes his way to Kurt and Blaine.
"Hey Lady Hummel! What's she doing here?" Noah asks while looking at Quinn. It was then Noah and Quinn make eye contact. In his eyes, Quinn could see the goofball she saw in the restaurant. But also something else. What it could be? She doesn't know.
"She came with me along with her sister. They are with me Puck," Kurt answers while dancing with Blaine.
"I-I helped carry watermelons," Quinn stutters as Noah approaches her. Quinn is certain her face in on fire as Noah stares at her.
Puck then smiles.
Good God. His smile is beautiful Quinn thinks.
Puck then grabs her hand and starts to pull her towards the dance floor. Quinn feels goosebumps tingle all over her arm. "Come on," He says to her.
Quinn shakes her head gently. "Oh no. I-"
"Trust me." Puck says gently.
Quinn looks at Kurt with hesitant just shrugs and continues dancing with Blaine.
Looking back at Puck she nods gently and starts to follow him to the dance floor. She knows she really shouldn't trust herself to a man she doesn't even know. But for some reason…it just feels right. Once they make it to the dance floor, Quinn looks around the floor to see how people are moving. Only to feel Puck's hand cup her cheek and make her look at him.
"Watch my eyes and bend your knees," He commands. Doing as he says, she starts to roll her hips to the beat and Puck matches it. "Good."
Quinn nods and gives him a small smile. She knows he's probably just being kind. There's no way she can be as good as a dancer as he is. Puck then grabs Quinn's arms around his neck as the dancing increases. Quinn couldn't help but have a big smile on her face as she dances with him.
While Quinn is dancing with Noah, Rachel is lost in awe of Finn Hudson's singing voice. He really was too talented for his own good. Rachel could only stare as Finn starts moving around the room with the microphone as he dances to the ladies on the floor. She sees Santana roll her eyes and smile as he makes his way over to where Brittany and Santana are dancing.
Finn then turns to her. His eyes are amber and dark as stares at her.
"She holds her head so high,
Like a statue in the sky.
Her arms are wicked and her legs are long.
When she moves my brain scream this song!"
Finn then reaches out and strokes her arm, leaving goosebumps all over it. She feels like she might faint by just one touch of him. Rachel and Finn keep in eye contact for a brief moment before Finn leaves to go please the other people in the group. Finn Hudson doesn't even know what he's doing to her.
Feeling like she might turn to a pile of goo, she turns and makes her way to Kurt and Blaine. Looking for her sister, she sees her dancing with Noah appearing to be enjoying herself. Her eyes go wide.
Quinn is dancing? She never likes to dance!
"Are you having fun, Rachel? Could you imagine doing this on the main floor? Sandy would have a heart attack!" Kurt says interrupting Rachel's train of thought.
She could only smile and shake her head. This place was something alright.
"Yeah, he definitely would," says a husky, masculine voice behind her.
Rachel feels the hair at the back of neck go up as she turns around. Finn Hudson is right behind her. He was sweaty from wearing his plaid shirt and long jeans. Finn really was too handsome for his own good.
Kur then comes over and gives Finn a fist bump. "Finn! You were great tonight. But I do think you and Santana got a little too involved in the song," Kurt commented.
Finn snorts at his brother and shakes his head. "Kurt, Santana and I have been doing to that number for the longest time. It doesn't help to change things up a bit."
Kurt shakes his head back to him. "Whatever Finn. Anyways, there is someone I want you to meet." Kurt then pulls Rachel to his side. "Have you meet Rachel Finn? She's staying here for the summer."
Finn then looks down at Rachel as Rachel looks up at him. He really was tall. Probably a whole foot taller than her. Rachel really hopes he doesn't see her blush.
"Hey," Finn says.
Dear God. He's talking to her.
"Umm, Hi," she says quietly.
Both of the then just stare at each other as if they were waiting for one of them to say something. Rachel was feeling super lost staring into Finn's eyes trying to figure him out. He has a mix of emotion in his eyes. Rather mischievous and mysterious.
Before Rachel could say anything else, Finn beats her to it. "Well, I hope you enjoy you're summer." With that said, Finn then walks away.
Rachel looks down at feet in frustration. Why didn't she say anything? Why didn't she complement his singing?
Damn it, Rachel.
Kurt ten comes up and puts his hand on Rachel's shoulder. "I'm so sorry for my brother's behavior. He doesn't have the best of manners."
Rachel could only nod.
At that moment, Quinn comes over. Quinn's has a light sheen of sweat on her face and has a big smile of her face. Rachel stares at her in disbelief. Quinn really got into it.
"Hey!" Quinn yells.
"Hey", Rachel says.
"Ready to go?" Quinn asks.
Rachel look at Finn, who is busy drinking with Noah. With a sad nod to her head she says. "Yeah."
Yeah, So much for a fun night.
"No!"
"Rachel-"
"No! I'm not doing singing lessons mom!"
"Rachel Barbra Berry! Calm down!" Shelby yells.
Rachel takes a breath before continuing. "Mom, it's not like I'm going to learn anything new. I've had private lessons since I was 4!"
Shelby outs a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Rachel, you haven't sung in about a year. You need to get back out there."
Rachel shakes her head. "Mom, these lessons are going to be useless."
"Just give it a try Rachel. You never know. You might find that you enjoy yourself. Just try a week," Shelby begs.
Rachel looks down at her feet and shakes her head. She could tell she wasn't going to win this fight. Looking up at Shelby, she nods. "Okay. But one week."
Shelby smiles and gives Rachela hug. Whispering in her ear, she says "You're not going to regret it. I hear the person who teaches lessons is one of the best."
Rachel could only nod. She could only hope Shelby was right.
"Okay, Quinn says to herself while looking a map of the resort. "I believe this is it."
Looking up at her map, she see the sign saying Dance Lessons with Mir. Noah Puckerman. Walking in, she sees an open, big gray room with a couple of full body mirrors. Looking down at her dance wear (which consists of sweatpants and a t-shirt), she starts to stretch to warm up while waiting for Puck.
"Hey."
Quinn turns to see Noah Puckerman in a black tank top and basketball shorts. Quinn's eyes go wide. Puck is much built and she could see his muscles ripping as he moves.
"Hi," Quinn says nervously.
Puck tilted is head as he studied her. "You're that girl I dance with yesterday, right?"
Quinn nodded.
"Well, you did pretty well," He complemented.
"Thanks."
"But you do need some help though!" Pucks signs while stretching his arms over his head.
Quinn could only blush. She knew she wasn't the best of a dancer. She didn't even think that she would be as good as Puck.
Puck must have noticed Quinn's embarrassment. "Hey, it's alright. That's what I'm here for," Puck says softly. "You ready to get started?"
Quinn nodded her head. "Yeah."
Puck smiled and grabbed Quinn's hand and pulled her to the middle of the room. "Okay, I want to you to put your left hand on my shoulder and put your right hand in mind but keep your hand slanted."
Doing as he says, she looks up at him. "Like that?"
Puck nods. "Just like that. Now we're going to follow a 1-2-3-4 pattern. Now follow my lead."
After an hours of dance lessons, Quinn and Puck are stretching.
"You did well today," Puck complimented.
Quinn gives him a small smile. "Thank you Mister Puckerman."
"Call me Puck?"
"What? But you're a teacher."
"So? You're friends with Lady Hummel. Besides, I don't do the professional act shit."
Quinn looks down in embarrassment. "Okay.'
"How old are you?"
Quinn could only blink. "I'm 19," she says quickly.
"Cool."
"Umm, if you don't mind me asking, how old are you?"
"I'm 22."
Quinn really wanted to ask if he was dating anyone. She knew she was falling for Noah but she didn't want to get in too deep then she already was.
"You're partner you dance with is great," she complimented.
"Who Brittany? Yeah, she's great. She's sexy alight. Too bad she don't play for my team. Not that I care. No girls can hold down the Puckasaurus."
Quinn felt her heart go down to her stomach. That's really how he thought about girls? "Oh. Ok."
"So I'll see you tomorrow?" Puck asks while grabbing his bag completely oblivious.
Quinn quickly gets up and grabs her bag. "Yeah. See you tomorrow."
You're so stupid Quinn. Very stupid.
Rachel could only stare at the music and dance building in distaste. She really didn't want to go in there. She knew her mother only wanted to help, but she really didn't want to be pushed into it.
Taking a deep breathe Rachel walks into the building and into the music room. There is a piano already in there along with a space for a band there. Rachel approaches the piano and touches the piano. She hasn't been near a piano for this reason in almost a year. Feeling some very overwhelming sadness, she turns away and puts her finger over her eyes to try and prevent tears.
"Miss Berry?"
Rachel gasp and takes a deep breathe to make it look like she wasn't on the verge of crying. Turning around her face drops in shock.
Finn Hudson is standing right there with a backpack. He was wearing a plaid shirt and jeans again. His hair is messy on top of his head but he looked just a beautiful in her opinion.
"Miss Berry," He asks again interrupting her thoughts.
"Yes. That's me" Rachel says quickly.
Finn nods his head. "Pleased to meet you Miss Berry. I'm Finn Hudson. I'm the music instructor here." Finn reaches his hand out to shake and Rachel shakes it.
"It's nice to meet you Mister Hudson."
Finn looks at her for a moment and then his eyes go wide in realization. "Wait, you're that girl from last night aren't you." When Rachel nodded her head, Finn eyes go darker. "Please tell me Sandy or your parents don't know about this."
"They don't," Rachel says gently.
Finn take a sign of relief. "Thank God. We would get our asses fired for letting you in our area. Kurt just doesn't think sometimes."
"Well, I promise Mister Hudson, we didn't-"
"Wait. We?" Finn asks.
"My step-sister Quinn and I were both in there with your brother. We were helping him carry watermelons up to the staff area."
Finn grunts in frustration. "Shit, I swear Kurt-"
"But she wasn't going to tell anybody. I promise Mister Hudson."
"You can call me Finn, Miss Berry,"
"Are you sure?" Rachel ask quietly.
"Yeah."
"Well then you can call me Rachel."
Finn nods. "Okay. Rachel."
They stare at each other for a moment. Why is it that they can't say anything else?
Finn then turns around towards the piano. Rachel then sees an older, brown hair man with glasses walking towards the piano with piano music.
"Rachel this is Brad. He is our main piano player here", Finn introduces.
Rachel nods and smiles towards Brad. "It's a pleasure Brad."
Brad smiles and turns towards the piano.
Finn then comes by Brad. "Okay, Rachel have you had vocal lessons before?"
Rachel nods. "I have." If only you knew Finn Hudson.
"Well how about we start with some vocal warm ups then?"
"Yes."
"Okay I want you to start off with La and hold it and we'll go up higher?"
Rachel nods. "Okay."
"And while you're doing that, I want you to put your hand on your stomach and keep it on there are you take a breath. Try to keep your stomach expanded and tight."
Nodding Rachel starts doing her warm up, going up higher and higher. Rachel feels herself getting a feeling she hasn't felt in a long time. Boldness. She feels herself getting a little more confident.
However, a flashback comes into her mind.
The first thing Rachel felt was that she couldn't move.
Her body hurt everywhere.
Rachel tries to move her neck but she can't. She feels blood dripping on the side of her face but she can't move.
Looking around, she sees she's stuck in her seat of her car. Feeling panicked that she can't get out, she screams in horror.
"HELP! SOMEBODY HELP ME!"
Rachel stops abruptly and turns around with tears in her eyes.
"Rachel?" She hears Finn ask.
Rachel refuses to turn around. She then hears Finn get up from the piano and walk over to her.
"Rachel, are you okay?"
"Finn. I'm sorry but I have to go," Rachel says quickly. Rachel goes to grab her bag but she feels somebody grab her arm gently.
"Rachel. Stop. Please look at me," Finn says gently.
Rachel takes a deep breath and tries to calm down. Turning around slowly, she sees Finn staring at her with a look of concern.
"Rachel, are you-"
"Finn please. Please let go."
Finn gently let's go and stares at her in confusion and concern.
"Do I need to get anybody for you?" He asks gently.
Rachel shakes her head. "No."
Finn stares her in disbelief. "Are you sure?"
"Yeah."
Finn nods. "Are you ready to go again?"
Rachel nods. She really wanted to go back to her room but she knew her mother would kill her if she left way before the lesson was over.
Finn then leads her through some more vocal warm up and vocal techniques. Finn was very smart from what Rachel learned. A lot of it Rachel knew. But it didn't help to get a refresh.
"Okay," Finn says at the end of the lesson. "You are definitely a soprano. I'm going to look for songs that will suite your rage."
Rachel nods. "Okay."
Baby Steps.
That night, Rachel, Quinn, Kitty and their parents were at a fancy dance being held outside on a gazebo. The resort has decorated it with lanterns and lights. Rachel sees Finn dressed up in a tuxedo along with Santana helping with the entertainment for the night. They were singing on and off at different times of the night.
"Aww Russell, are you guys going to dance?" Sandy asks while joining the family.
"We're waiting for a waltz," Shelby explains.
Kitty was already dancing with Brody who had the night off. Rachel and Quinn had noticed that Kitty had been spending a lot of time with Brody and apparently Russel and Shelby seemed to be taking a liking to him as well. But still...something didn't seem right.
Jessie then walks over to Rachel.
"Hello Rachel."
Rachel smiles politely. "Hi Jessie."
"Would you like to dance?"
Before Rachel could say anything, Russell interrupts. "Sure she would."
Jessie then takes Rachel's hand and spins her in a circle. Rachel gives Quinn a look and Quinn just shrugs her shoulders.
While Rachel is dancing with Brody, she realizes Puck is there as well in a tuxedo dancing with a way older woman. This woman has long dirty blonde hair and is wearing a very revealing black lace dress.
The woman turns to see Sandy and smiles. "Hi Sandy! Aren't my dance lessons paying off?"
Sandy nods. "They sure are Terri. Isn't your husband coming this Friday?"
Terri nods while leading Puck at a certain dance step. "Friday," she confirms.
Quinn couldn't help but glare at Terri. She kept looking at Puck like he was a piece of meat. Didn't she know that he was way too young for an old hag like her? Guess not.
Meanwhile, while Quinn is distracted by Puck, Jessie decides to take Rachel for a walk. Jessie takes her to the pond. Rachel starts to feel uncomfortable as Jessie gently strokes her hair while she looks out at the water.
"I love watching your hair blowing in the breeze…pretty," he comments.
Rachel feel goosebumps all over her body and she turns her head. "My parents might be looking for me," she says quietly, feeling nervous.
Jessie gives her a smirk. "Rachel, don't worry about it. If they think you're with me, they'll be the happiest at McKinley."
Rachel shakes her head. She knows her parents would be happy about Jessie.
Then a voice is heard. Rachel turns to see Kitty storming away from Brody.
"Brody, I don't hear an apology," Kitty snaps.
"Well go back to mommy and Daddy Kitty. Maybe you'll hear one in your sleep,' Brody says while following her.
Rachel feels her eyes go wide. What was going on with Kitty and Brody? They seemed happy.
"I'm sorry you had to see that. Sometimes in this world, you see things you don't want to see," Jessie explains.
Rachel nods and Jessie smiles. "You hungry? Come on," Jessie says while wrapping an arm around her shoulders.
Jessie leads Rachel the back of the main Kitchen of the restaurant. Nobody was there besides them were there.
"So Rachel, what would you like? You have anything you like. We got brownies, Milk, rice pudding," Jessie says while looking through the refrigerator.
Rachel then hears a small sob underneath a table. Turning her under it, she sees Brittany crying. She is wearing her pink dress she wore the night she saw her dance with Puck. She could tell Brittany had been crying for a while because her makeup was all over her face. Brittany was holding her legs to her chest and looking at Rachel with sad eyes.
Seeing Brittany needed help, Rachel turns back to Jessie before he hears or sees Brittany.
"Hey Jessie, I'm sorry but think I need to go check on my sisters."
Jessie gives her a puzzled look. "Are you sure."
Rachel nods. "Yeah, I'm sure."
Once Rachel leaves, she runs back to find Kurt who is standing on the side of the gazebo. She quickly whispers in her ear and he goes and whispers to Finn and Santana. She could see Santana face boiling with anger. Stomping over to Puck, she whispers to him. Rachel points to Quinn and motions for her to follow.
Once the group is away from the big crowd, Santana yells. "Why is she here? I told her she needed a break!"
Kurt then answers. "I brought her in case Jessie comes back," he explains.
Santana smacks him on the head. "You shouldn't have done that Petunia! You know Brittany just doesn't think!"
"She wouldn't do anything stupid would she?" Puck asks.
Quinn then asks in confusion. "Why? What's wrong? What's the matter with her?"
"She's knocked up, Quinn," Kurt states.
"Kurt," Finn glares.
The small group makes it back to the kitchen and Rachel leads them to the spot to where Brittany was to find her still on the floor crying. Rachel watches as Santana's face turns into pure softness as she rushes over to Brittany.
"Shhh, Brit-Brit. It's okay. It's okay. Santana's here," Santana cooed as she held Brittany while she cried into her chest. Brittany is shaking and Santana just holds her even tighter. Finn come over and takes off his tuxedo jacket and wraps it around Brittany to keep her warm. "I'm not going to let anything happen to you. You know that right?"
"We gotta go," Finn says quietly.
Santana nods and looks over at Puck. "Help me?" she asks.
Puck nods and quickly goes over to Brittany and slips one hand around her waist and one under her bottom. "Just hold on Brittany. Good girl," Puck says gently while standing up with Brittany in his arms. Quinn could see Brittany sobbing into Puck shoulder while Santana has a hand on top of Brittany's shoulder as they walk out.
"What do you think you're doing? If you're in trouble, you come talk to me. I'll take care of it Brittany. You really should have come to me first," Santana scolds gently.
The group had retreated to an empty staff lounge and were having a couple of drinks.
Brittany shakes her head. "Santana, I'm not taking your money. Please just let this go. I really just want to go see Lord Tubbington. He's been waiting for me to feed him."
Quinn and Rachel share a confused look. Who was Lord Tubbington?
"Brittany, you can't blow this off. This is serious." Finn scolds.
Brittany turns to Finn. "Finn calm down. Please."
"No Brittany, you need to grow up and stop being such an idiot!" Finn yells.
Death silence. Finn eyes go huge.
"What did you just call me?' Brittany asks sadly.
Finn face then turns into softness. "Brittany, I didn't mean that-"
"Like Hell, you didn't!" Santana yells. She then slaps him hard across the face. "Don't you ever say that to her again or else I will go all Lima Heights on your ass Finn Hudson and don't think I won't!"
Rachel and Quinn look at each other startled. Santana is definitely one not to mess with, Rachel could feel herself being disappointed at Finn. Not the best way to handle this kind of situation.
Finn walks over to couch from where he was sitting and walks over to Brittany and ducts down to look her right in the eye. Holding her hands he says gently. "Brittany I'm sorry. I didn't mean that. I'm just mad he did this to you."
Brittany nods as tears fill in her eyes. She then pulls him into a hug while she sobs out loud again as Finn holds her tight. "It's hopeless," she cries.
Quinn then steps forward to her. "Don't say that. There's gotta be way to fix this."
Brittany looks up from Finn shoulders and wipes her face up. "Quinn? Is that your name? Well let me tell you something. You don't know anything about me or my problems."
"Umm Brittany, I might have told her and Rachel," Kurt hesitates.
Santana glares at Kurt. "Oh Jeez, Lady Hummel know they'll tell their daddy, he'll tell Sandy and we'll all get fired! Why not be skywrite now Brittany got knocked up by Brody Weston the creep!"
"Brody!?" Rachel and Quinn say in unison.
Finn the turns to glare at Rachel and Quinn.
"Look-"Finn begins only to be interrupted by Kurt.
"Okay, Okay," Kurt says while hurrying over to Rachel and Quinn. "We found a doctor who is traveling here in this area for one next week. We can get her an appointment but it costs $500 dollars."
Rachel then turns to Brittany. "Well if it's Brody, it's shouldn't be a problem. I know he has the money. If you just tell him, I'm sure he'll help."
Brittany shakes her head. "He knows. No please just go back to where you came from," Brittany says aggravated.
Rachel and Quinn exchange looks at all the people in the room. The air feels so tense. Everybody could feel it. Then with nods to each other, Rachel and Quinn leave.
The next day, Quinn was going to try and talk her Russell into giving her 500 dollars while Rachel went to talk to Brody.
"So know you're here to tell me what's right?" Brody scoffs while placing bread on the tables while Rachel follows him with a slushie in her hands.
"Brody, you just can't leave her. She's so scared." Rachel scolds.
"I didn't blow a summer hauling toasted bagels just to bail out some chick who probably slept with every guy here. Look Rachel let's face it. Some people count. Some people don't. You know what I'm saying?"
Rachel shakes her head and gives him an angry smile. Steeping close to him, she says. "You make me sick. Stay away from me, stay away from my sisters or I'll have you fired." She threatens. Getting a sudden idea, Rachel takes the slushie she was drinking and dumps all over Brody's face. Giving him one last smirk, she walks away.
Serves him right for doing that to Brittany.
Rachel walks up the hill where the staff loges are. She had agreed to meet Quinn here if she got the money. Thankfully she didn't have to wait long after talking to Brody.
"Rachel! I got the money!" Quinn says excitedly while running over to Rachel.
Rachel smiles. "Great. Let's go."
Opening the doors, the girls find a lot of the same members dancing and singing from a couple of nights ago. Rachel and Quinn find Santana and Brittany dancing while Finn, Puck and Kurt are talking at a table from a distance.
Taping on Brittany's shoulder, Quinn hands her the money. "Here's the money!" Santana's, Finn's, Puck's and Kurt's eyes go wide in surprise.
Brittany looks at the money and then back at her and smiles. "You mean Brody?"
Rachel shakes her head. "No Brit. You were right about him. He's a creep."
"Where did you get it?" Brittany asks with wide eyes.
"You said you needed it," Quinn answers.
Brittany looks at Santana. "Is this girl for real?"
"Yeah, it takes a real saint to ask daddy," Puck answers.
Brittany looks at the money and back to Quinn. "Thanks Quinn but I can't take it. It's not right."
Giving back the money and she wraps her arms around Santana's neck and starts to sway.
"What's the matter? You should take the money!" Santana asks in confusion.
Kurt then steps up and takes the money from Quinn. He obviously had no problems with taking it. "I can only get her an appointment for Thursday. But the problem is Brittany, Finn, Puck and Santana do their performances at Carmel Theatre then. If they cancel, they'll lose this season's salary and next year's gig."
"Can't someone else fill in?" Quinn asks.
Finn turns to Quinn with an annoyed look. "No, Miss Fix it. Somebody else can't fill in. Mercedes has to work all day, she can't learn the routine. Santana has to fill in for Brittany. Everybody works here."
"Finn's right Quinn. What do you and Rachel want to do it? Want to take a break from Simon Says?" Puck asks jokingly.
Kurt's eyes go huge in thought. "That's not a bad idea Puckerman. I know Quinn can move but I don't know if Rachel can sing."
"Oh Rachel can sing," Finn says. "Even though I've only heard her doing warm ups. She can."
"It was a joke guys," Puck says.
"Well Quinn can dance while Rachel sings with Finn," Kurt says,
Puck shakes his head. "No! It's the dumbest idea I ever heard of Petunia!"
"Yeah, I don't even know if Rachel can learn a whole piece of music in less than a week either."
Brittany then goes towards Finn and Puck. "But you guys are strong partners. You guys can lead anybody!"
Santana goes over to Rachel and Quinn while Brittany talks to them. "If you guys can do it, I'd really appreciate it. I really can't leave Brittany like this right now. She needs me."
Quinn and Rachel then heard Puck yell to Brittany. "Brittany, Quinn is at the beginner level for dancing. I doubt she could do it!"
"I'm with him on this one. Rachel's a beginner too. I don't think it's good idea."
"I'll do it!" Rachel and Quinn yell in unison causing the rest of the people to look at them in shock.
Rachel's eyes went huge.
What did I just get myself into?
Quinn could only blink at her answer.
What?
Puck and Finn share a funny look. "Ok, Fine." Puck says while walking over to Quinn. "You and I are going to start working tomorrow while Finn works with Rachel. Cool?"
Quinn and Rachel could only nod their heads.
Rachel turns to see Finn giving her a serious look causing her shy away from his face.
This was surely going to be interesting. To say the least.
Finally! I really wanted to give you guys a good long chapter. I hope you guys love it! Reviews are love to me. Up next, some more Finchel and Quick storyline. I promise there will be some more flashbacks on Rachel and some more clarity on Brittany's condition.
