"Rachel, sweetie, I love it. It's great. I love the opinions you got from those little kids about the princesses and what not. And I love that crazy teenager. But I really like your idea on how only when you are an adult can you fall out of love. Your childhood is for you to fall into it, and then when you're older – that's when people begin to fall out of it. It's brilliant. I love it," proclaimed Beth, on the phone to Rachel.
"Thank you Beth. I'll be in tomorrow," replied Rachel.
She put down the phone and turned over in her bed to look at the gorgeous man lying next to her. She couldn't be happier – but she knew that he needed closure with Quinn. She needed to touch Quinn's hand, so she could give Quinn her soul mate. But how was Quinn ever going to want to see Rachel again? It would have been so much easier if she had just done it when the met at the restaurant. But Rachel had been too captivated by Finn.
Finn slowly sat up in the bed and turned his head to see Rachel, hanging up the phone. His hair was scruffy and his eyes were only half open but he looked ridiculously sexy.
"I'm going to make you some breakfast," he said, "I'm thinking…pancakes?"
"I'm thinking, that sounds perfect…" said Rachel as she kissed him lightly.
"So, how does it feel, being the other woman?" asked Quinn bitterly.
"Look, I don't know you, ok? I don't. But I didn't do this to hurt you, Quinn," replied Rachel.
Quinn had agreed to meet with Rachel purely on the basis of having her photo appear in the magazine. Rachel remembered her first impression of Quinn and how perfect she thought she was. But now she could see and hear all her flaws. Then she figured that somewhere, some man is going to love her for the things she is most self-conscious about. Like her and Finn. She always thought her breasts were a bit small but he thought they were perfect. She was embarrassed of her loud laugh but it always makes him smile. Quinn deserved someone like that.
She went to pass Quinn the photo that would be used in the magazine, for approval and purposely touched her hand.
Her eyes dilated and she saw….nothing. That meant Quinn had already met her soul mate! Hoping to God that it wasn't Fin, she tried really hard to catch a glimpse of the man she would end up with. That was when she saw him, a man….a bartender.
'Wow', thought Rachel, 'was NOT expecting that,'
Snapping her back to reality, Quinn approved of the photo and went to leave.
"Hey, Quinn…. I know you hate me, but I'd like to take you out for a drink. I know this really great place that's just a few blocks from here?
"Why would I go for a drink with you?"
"Because I'm featuring you in my article?"
"You stole my fiancé!" screamed Quinn. But all of this talk was making her upset, she needed a drink. She would happily go to a bar, just not with Rachel. Which was exactly what Rachel wanted.
Entering through the double doors, she took a seat at the bar.
"It's you!" said Puck, smiling.
"I'm sorry…do I know you?" replied Quinn.
"N-no, no you don't. I'm sorry I thought you were someone else…what can I get for you Quinn?"
"How do you know my name?"
"Last night you came here, I served you and then got you a cab…. I'm Puck!"
She buried her head in her hands and began laughing, "Oh my goodness! I'm so sorry about last night! I never do that! It was the first time I've ever really been drunk. I didn't throw up on you, did I?"
"No, you were actually kind of adorable. Yelling at me, asking me to marry you…."
"I didn't ask you to marry me, did I?"
"…No," he laughed, "I just wanted to see your face,"
She looked away embarrassed, "Well I'm sorry, for anything I may have said or done to you,"
"How about you make it up to me, by letting me take you out for dinner?"
"Oh, I don't think…" She was going to say no, before she realised that in this moment in time Finn, the man who once said he loved her, was probably with Rachel. Why shouldn't she try and be happy too? "Sure…I'd really like that…"
