(AN bold are their thoughts)
(Rashel)
Run, Run, Run thought Rashel as she ran through the neighborhood. I shouldn't have blown up at Quinn. I know he was just being him. He almost had the hard exterior, he wasn't even really being rude. What's wrong with me?
(Quinn)
Ok who do I go to when I need girl advise? If I went to Theirry I wouldn't pay attention. Not Morgead because anything he tells me to do would really give Rashel a reason to be pissed at me. Um maybe one of the girls? Who then? Hannah? No. Mary? No Rashel wouldn't talk to her. Ok Keller or Jez? Yeah. That sounds like my best bet. Now who out of the two would be my best shot? Her best friend or Her twin? Well on TV shows Rashel makes me watch they always go to the best friends so… Agh I hope this goes well. ( AN: this is all Quinn's thoughts)
Quinn got up from the bed were he was sitting determined to go find Jez. He ended up finding her eating her full on Doritos.
"Hey Jez, can I talk to you." Quinn asked
"What's wrong Skippy?" Asked Jez.
Quinn gave her a look wondering Skippy is she serous? "Rashel bit my head off this morning and I actually didn't do anything this time."
"Are you sure you didn't do anything?" She asked licking some orange powder from her fingers.
"I made a slight sarcastic Comment but that's just me," looking down
"What about?" Voice rising in pitch.
"She told me to make sure I fed today and I more or less told her 'yes mom'" pause, "That isn't doing anything is it?"
"How old is she?" Stuffing a Dorito in her mouth.
"Um I don't know when her birthday is and the last age I knew her as was," pause, "17."
"Did you perhaps miss her birthday?" Said Poppy entering the room.
"Huh?" Asked Quinn.
"That leads me to think maybe your comment made you think about you forgetting her birthday or something," said Poppy.
"I could find out, for you," Smiling.
"when I tried to pick up on what made her mad it was just a hole big jumble of emotions that I couldn't even follow," Said Quinn, "Maybe she was blocking the real problem from me?"
"It's a possibility," said Jez, "She hasn't talked to me about her birthday or something. Why she would expect someone to know when she hasn't told anybody is beyond me. Wait we could always find out if were close."
"Keller," said Jez.
"yeah but Keller doesn't kknow her exact birthday," says Poppy.
"Yeah but we could see if we are close,"
(Rashel)
She was about to the mansion steps again, then her foot slid out from under her on a piece of laminated paper. She fell on her hands and toes except for her hands that had landed on some glass bottle shards.
"Shit," She Muttered then pushed off the ground with her hands to avoid glass entering anywhere else managing to get the glass even farther into her hands. It hurt to move her hands and she decided that she wouldn't be able to pull all of the shards out by her self. She mentally called for Quinn through the soul mate chain.
She reached the door and toed it open, with her boot. No more then a few milliseconds later Quinn was in front of her forgetting completely the conversation he was having before.
(Rashel and Quinn)
"I smell blood. Are you ok?"He asked. She held out her palms to him showing him the glass.
"My boot slipped on something and I fell in a pile of glass," she said not wanting to meet his eyes.
"Come here let's get you cleaned up," He pulled her into the bathroom, sat her down on a stool near the sink, and began to pull the shards from her hands,
"Hurt?" he asked trying to look her in the eyes but her evading again.
"A little," She replied looking down at her feet, seeing the paper that was the reason behind her fall.
"There's something else wrong. What is it?" He asked still removing shards most of the larger ones gone.
"I lost to a piece of paper what have I become?" She asked tilting her head toward the paper attacted to her boot.
"It must have been some vicious paper to beat you, kitten," He said smiling. Then she looked up at him half smiling.
"If I wasn't in pain right now I would laugh but that glass really does sting," she said.
"You want to go to a doc for this?" Quinn asks her a sad look on his face.
"No, can you just finish cleaning it and wrap it for me?" She asks sending him feelings through the bond of appreciation and love.
"Yeah. I can do that," Said Quinn smiling now that he knew his soulmate wasn't still pissed.
He finished up his work in silence them just sharing emotions and feelings through the bond.
"Ok so lets see what this evil paper is all about," said Quinn reaching to take the paper off of her boot, "Come see our beautiful county Fair," he read monotone yet slight amusement peeking through.
"Fair?" asked Rashel. It's kind of like a week to a month long Stationary Carnival," said Quinn.
"We should go," said Rashel, "it sounds like fun,"
"Serious?" asked Quinn.
"Yeah win me something. Um… win the ring toss or the dart games or something and get me a stuffed animal," she said jokingly.
"Ok, but only if you'll share some popcorn and cotton candy with me," he said being playfully sarcastic.
She took her the knuckles of her wrapped hands and awkwardly yet cutely petted the top of his head like a dog.
"We might as well invite the others," said Rashel, "They'll LOVE it," she said smiling.
"Ok it's a date," said Quinn leaning down to capture her lips.
