Kurt rubbed lotion gently on his skin gently in front of his three-way mirror.
"Dude," Finn said.
He stopped. "Yes?"
"Are you going to tell me what happened with that, that guy?" he asked, squirming on his bed.
Kurt turned around in his makeup chair and studied Finn.
"He was like Criss Angel hooked up with Einstein and had a baby," he said.
"Did he touch Rachel?" Finn asked, subconsciously cracking his knuckles. Kurt rolled his eyes and snorted.
"Now why would he want to do that?" Kurt asked, being his usual stuck-up self. He swiveled back to the mirror. Still…he was beginning to think that maybe Rachel was okay. Which made him throw up a little in his mouth.
Rachel brushed her hair, stroke after stroke. She puckered her lips. What was up with her lately? She didn't stomp her feet and demand an explanation after Dr. Cooper asked her and Kurt to come with him. She didn't have some snappy comeback for any insults thrown her way. She pouted, and reached into her pocket, hoping to find her favorite tube of gold colored lipgloss. Instead her hand curled around the crumpled bits of Jesse St. James. She examined it, disgusted. She burned each piece in her scented candle, watching it crumble to ashes. It gave her a sick grin on her face.
She held her big head in her man hands. And she sobbed quietly.
Sheldon was on World 5 of New Super Mario Bros. He hissed in frustration as Mario was again defeated by the dreaded Koopa. Leonard flipped through Lima Hotel's grand total of eight channels. He settled on a rerun of South Park. He stuffed some Cheetos in his mouth. And he analyzed his situation. He was sharing a hotel room with the male with the tightest ass, next to a room where two dorks cosplayed Lord Of The Rings, and on the other side, his ex-girlfriend was furiously making sure her face was perfect, all while they were here in Lima, Ohio of all places, studying two stuck-up high school students. What a great life, Leonard, he thought.
Shelby, otherwise known as Rachel's Mom Is The Bitch Coach of Vocal Adrenaline throughout McKinley's glee club, stared in the face of the bastard child of Quinn and Puck. She cradled her, she kissed her gently. When she cried, Shelby sang softly to her. But every time she looked in the baby's face, she thought of the glimpse she caught of baby Rachel's. And it breaks her heart every time.
A/N: Wow, a sappy chapter that does not do ANYTHING to further the plot. It happens in every fanfic. And, I'm using this chapter to call SOS from my reviewers. You guys have two questions to answer:
1) Shall I have romance in this fanfic? If so, who with whom?
2) Should Leonard, Howard, Penny, etc, be more involved in this story, or should they assume the role of minor characters?
Thanks so much!
