Chapter 3- welcome to London
By the time the glee kids arrived in London the sun was already setting. They stopped off for tea on the way to the hotel at pizza hut. They were all exhausted from their travelling so they spent most of the time just eating quietly, and trying desperately to keep their eyes open, which were already growing heavier with every blink. They arrived at the hotel, and waited patiently in the lobby for Mr Shue to acquire their room keys. When he returned to the group of sleepy and slightly irritable teenagers, Rachel interrupted him before he got a chance to split them up into their rooms.
Rachel: Mr Shue, before we go off to bed, I have an announcement I would like to make
San: Oh god Rachel, we are all exhausted, we don't need any of your little "announcements".
Mr Shue: let her speak Santana, go ahead Rachel
Rachel: as I'm sure you will all remember, I mentioned trying to get my dad's to get us tickets for a musical this week…
She was met with a few nods, a blank face from Brittany and a slight scowl from Santana.
Rachel: well, tomorrow afternoon we are going to the matinee show of Wicked!
To this, the group perked up a bit, she got lots of thanks, a hug from Kurt and a few claps and cheers. Now that she had their full attention, she was able to continue.
Rachel: that is not all my fellow glee clubbers, on Thursday night; we will be going to the evening performance of Chicago!
Kurt: Oh my god Rachel, this is amazing, thank you!
Mercedes: Yeah Rachel, that's pretty awesome of you, thank your dads for us
Mr Shue: that is very nice Rachel, but right now I think we need to calm down and get you off to your rooms. I have allocated rooms as I saw fit, there will be no switching, although I'm fairly certain you will be happy with the arrangements.
A few sighs escaped the mouths of the kids, Mr Shue wasn't exactly known for making decisions that all of the kids agreed to, there were always a few people that just wouldn't be happy no matter what.
Mr Shue: right, first of all, ill sort the boys out. ..
He though that it would be safer to get the boys settled first, they were least likely to complain about who they had to share a room with.
Mr Shue: First we have Finn and Puck, and Kurt. You will be sharing a room together.
Puck: sweet
Kurt: can't I stay with the girls
Finn: we live together anyway man, its gunna be cool, ok?
Mr Shue: Artie, Mike and Sam, you will be sharing a room, just down the hall from the other boys. I will also be down that same corridor. Miss Pillsbury will be down the same corridor as the girls.
With that, all of the boys went to find their rooms, leaving behind the teachers and the girls, who by this point were looking a little nervous to see who they were sharing with.
Mr Shue: I thought a lot about how I was going to split you girls up. The thing is, there is a room of four, which I think has one set of bunk beds in it, and then two other beds. And then the other room is a three person room, with a double bed and a single bed.
Before he could go on, Brittany had raised her hand and bounced a little on the spot as she interrupted him, taking on the appearance of a small child desperate to answer a question at school.
Britt: Mr Shue, me and San can sleep in the double bed
Mr Shue: well, that was what I was thinking actually, and then Quinn, are you ok taking the single bed in that room.
Quinn sighed and then nodded. She wasn't overly happy about being in a room where Santana and Brittany would be in the same bed, but then again, she had plenty of sleepovers with the girls, and they always had a good time.
Mr Shue: That leaves you four. I'm sure you will work it out between you who gets what bed, but I was thinking that Rachel and Tina probably wouldn't mind taking the bunkbeds, as the smallest members of the group.
Rachel: that's fine Mr Shue, come on girls, let's go get unpacked.
/ Fun and games in a London hotel
It had just gone 11 pm, and Puck was sure that the teachers would have gone to bed by this point. After explaining his plans to Finn and Kurt, he sent a text to the rest of the Glee members.
Party in the game rm. Meet us there in 10. We got the booze
P
15 minutes later all of the Glee members were sat in a circle on the cold tiled floor of the games room.. Even Rachel had taken a seat, after protesting to Mercedes who practically had to drag her out of her room and down the hall way.
Rachel: before we start drinking, I would just like to point up that we are supposed to be getting up early to explore this amazing city, and I'm sure the last thing we need is a hangover, so maybe, let's not drink too much.
Quinn: for once I actually agree with Berry on this one
Kurt: I have checked the weather forecast and it's supposed to reach 28 degrees, walking around a city, with a hangover in THAT temperature would not be fun.
Puck lent back in his elbows before picking up a bottle of vodka, and then kicked a bottle of coke.
Puck: right then, well drink this bottle, and that is it. That will give us one or two drinks each, enough to get us going and have a good time, but no hangover, right?
Everyone nodded and before they knew it they each had a drink in their hand, courtesy of Puck.
Puck: so are we going to play a game or what?
San: let me guess, truth or dare right?
Rachel looked up from her cup to see Santana flash her a smirk. They had already played this game once, which meant they both knew exactly what they could say so either embarrass each other, or make the other person drink.
Puck: since it was my idea, I'm going first. Quinn, truth or dare
Quinn: *sigh* fine, I'll pick dare
Puck: I dare you… to… knock on Miss Pillsbury's door, in your underwear, and tell her you lost your clothes
There were numerous chuckles from the group, as Quinn gracefully stood up, dropping her dress to the floor. Santana and Kurt were nominated as the ones to make sure she went ahead with the dare, and Kurt managed to record it on his camera, to show the rest of the group. When they returned, Quinn's face had turned a nice shade of pink, as the others sat around watching the video, in fits of hysterical laughter.
Quinn: Miss Pillsbury, I've lost all of my clothes
Miss Pillsbury: Quinn, do you realise it is almost midnight, you should be asleep. And I know that you haven't lost your clothes; you brought a suitcase with you.
Quinn: but I can't find them
They watched the video as Miss Pillsbury led Quinn towards her room. Quinn quickly remembered that she couldn't let her in the room, as the others were not in there.
Quinn: actually, I remember where they are now; you can go back to bed, thanks Miss Pillsbury
The whole group were laughing as Kurt turned off his camera. Santana had tears in her eyes and Puck was rolling on the floor. Brittany giggled along with the rest of the group, although if you ask Quinn, she looked just as confused as ever.
Quinn: ok, my go. Let me see, Santana, Truth or dare
San: please, dare
Quinn: I dare you, to spend the rest of the evening in your underwear
San: wow, inventive Q, that's easy
Santana took off all of her clothes, leaving her just in her underwear. All of the boys, except for Kurt couldn't take their eyes off her. She was fairly sure she saw Puck squirm a little in his seat.
San: Rachel, truth or dare
Rachel: erm, dare, I guess
San: I dare you, to kiss Quinn, a proper kiss
Rachel: I. i. er
Quinn: SANTANA! What the hell, that's not fair
San: sure it is Q
The boys sat wide eyed as they observed the argument go on for a few moments, waiting to see whether or not this kiss would actually happen. Santana got her way, after informing them that if either of them backed down she would think of something far worse for them to do. Rachel lent forward, onto her hands and knees, her lips meeting Quinn's. The boys sat wide eyed, as they watched. Mercedes and Tina giggled. Brittany just stared, as did Santana with a smirk on her face. Kurt made a gagging noise, and Lauren seemed completely uninterested. The kiss went on for a few seconds before Rachel pulled away, with an expression on her face that none of them had ever seen before; Santana noted that it looked as though she had enjoyed herself. Quinn just blushed and turned even brighter shade of red than she had already, following her dare.
Rachel: erm,Finn, truth or dare
Finn: Truth
Rachel: Did you ever really love me?
Finn spluttered while there were a few "ooh"s from the rest of the group.
Rachel: you have to answer Finn
Finn: I did, I mean, I think I did, I thought I did
Rachel: well, ok. Well done for answering
Brittany was sat between Rachel and Santana, when Finn gave his answer she leant over a little and gave Rachel's hand a reassuring squeeze. This in turn caused a slight grumble to escape Santana's mouth, as the others looked up she just made out as though she was bored of the Finchel nonsense.
Finn: Mike, truth or dare
Mike: Truth
Finn: Have you had sex with Tina
Mike: what sort of question is that?
Puck: answer man
Mike: yes
Puck lent forward to high five Mike, Tina looked slightly embarrassed, but at least now she wouldn't be asked that question.
Mike: alright then Puck, truth or dare?
Puck: Dare, of course
Mike: I dare you, to….. Kiss Sam
Sam: what the hell dude!
Puck: oh whatever
Puck lent across to Sam who was sat next to him, before kissing him full on the lips. Puck seemed to take it in his stride, whilst Sam was rapidly turning a colour that resembled a beetroot.
San: you suck that trouty mouth!
Britt: San, that's not nice
Puck: right, who can I dare now….. How about Brittany
Brittany: I choose truth
Santana felt nervous as soon as Puck said her name, dare would have been easier to deal with. Truth was dodgy, Brittany would admit to anything you asked her, without even playing the game.
Puck: what exactly have you done with Santana?
Britt: I don't know what you mean, we do cheerios, we have sleepover, we go shopping, and we feed the ducks, lots of stuff
Puck: ok, I should have been clearer, what do you do at your sleepovers, when you are ALONE…
Britt: oh, we have sex
Brittany answered as though it was the most obvious thing in the world. The response to this was an open mouth by all of the kids. Santana reached over to put her hand over Brittany's mouth but was too late. Kurt made a gagging noise yet again. Puck wolf whistled. Rachel looked almost intrigued, and Quinn looked up to the ceiling, this was no shock to her.
San: Oh My God Brit!
Britt: Sorry San, but I had to say, that's the game
Everyone watched the look on Santana's face; her anger seemed to just melt away with one look into those bright blue eyes.
Britt: Rachel
Rachel: I'll take dare
Britt: I dare you to kiss Santana
San: what the hell B!
Britt: Rachel is sad after what Finn said
San: and what does that have to do with her kissing ME
Rachel: yeah, I'm not sure I feel comfortable with this
Britt: San's kisses make everything seem better; she gives the best sweet lady kisses.
San: that is true, actually
Britt: you have to do it Rach, it was a dare
Rachel leant across Brittany to reach Santana. The kiss lasted longer than expected, and Rachel fought the urge to moan. This was better than she had expected. She even let her tongue run across Santana's bottom lip. As soon as she realised what she was doing she pulled back.
Santana's pov:
I swear to god I felt her tongue. Oh my god, she was enjoying that! I knew it; Rachel Berry is totally into girls!
Santana sat silently with a smirk on her face whilst the game continued. There were a number of other truths throughout the game and a few more dares. One of the dares included Mercedes being dared by Artie to go to Mr Shue and say that she had a nightmare and couldn't sleep. A few hours later there was barely any vodka left in the bottle and some of the kids had already gone to bed. Brittany was curled up on the floor, her head on Santana's lap fast asleep. Puck got up to leave, as did Quinn.
San: hey Q, I'm gunna stay here for a bit, take B back and get her to bed ok?
Quinn: sure, come on Britt
As they all went to bed, Santana was left slumped on the floor, pouring the last of the vodka into a cup. Rachel was seated opposite her, now leaning against a wall.
San: you don't have to stay here with me you know
Rachel: I would rather not leave you to carry on drinking on you own
San: whatever
They sat in silence as Rachel fought to keep her eyes open, and Santana sipped on her drink. Rachel realised just how tired she was, and decided she should try to get Santana to bed. She wasn't prepared to leave her alone, especially since Puck had left his alcohol under the pool table.
Rachel: we should go to bed Santana, I'm sure you are just as tired as I am
San: I don't want to
Rachel: why not?
San: I just …can't.
Rachel: I think you might be a little more drunk that I thought Santana
San: no I'm not, I can't share a bed ..with.. her
Rachel: don't you always share a bed with Brittany?
San: yeah, but it's different now
Rachel: different how? Because you love her?
San: yeah, because I love her. God Berry, are you sure you're not drunk?
Rachel: no, I only had one drink. Now I'm trying to be a friend to you, do you want to talk about your problems or not
San: not really
Rachel: well, in that case, I'm going to tell you one thing before I force you to go to bed. Listen
San: whatever
Rachel: I know you love Brittany. I'm pretty sure she loves you, just look at the way you look at each other, nothing but adoration. I'm going to guess that you have already told her you love her. I've watched how things have changed between you recently, and I'm going to guess that this is the reason. Why don't you talk to her more about it, I'm sure you can sort things out. You need to be happy with yourself, and things will fall into place. Finally, if you ever want to talk about it, I'm here. I know you don't like me very much, but I would like to be your friend Santana. Now, let's go to bed.
Neither of the girls said another word to each other until they got to Santana's room, where Rachel said goodnight. Santana just thought about what Rachel had said. Once she got into bed next to Brittany she sent Rachel a text, something she had never done before, she didn't even know how she came to have the girl's number in her phone.
Thanx Rachel, ur not tht bad u no. See you 2moro, nite.
San
Rachel wouldn't read the text until the morning, as soon as her head hit the pillow she was fast asleep, dreaming of London.
