Chapter 2 is a little boring I find, it was difficult to write surprisingly. I have big ideas for later chapters, but I needed to write a small chapter like this for the later chapters to make more sense x) Drama, and a deeper storyline are coming soon x
"Happy birthday Quinny!" Quinn was sitting on one of the swings like she did every morning waiting for Rachel to get to school, when she heard the girls voice. She turned around to find her best friend behind her with a big present in her hands and a big smile on her face. Quinn giggled.
"Hey Rachel."
"I wanted to be the first one to wish you a happy 10th birthday, so I had my dad's drive me to school a few minutes early." She walked around the swingset and stood in front of the blonde. " Am I the first?" Quinn smiled and nodded, amazed that Rachel remembered.
"Here." The excited brunette handed Quinn the big gift wrapped up perfectly with pink wrapping paper.
"I really hope you like it, I picked it out myself." She bit her lip and waited anxiously as Quinn slowly tore off the paper.
"Ohmygosh." The blonde's eyes widened as she looked at the big blue box.
"Rachel! You got me a karaoke machine?" She smiled and put the present aside, jumping on the small girl and giving her a tight hug. Rachel smiled and wrapped her arms around her, holding her so she wouldn't fall.
"I thought you might like that." Rachel giggled. "It comes with two microphones, so we can both sing." Quinn pulled back a bit, keeping her arms around the brunette's neck so she could look into her big brown eyes.
"It's perfect, thank you." Rachel looked down, smiling a little, trying to hide her blush. Quinn turned and sat back down on one of the swings, and Rachel did the same.
"I'll see you at my sleepover party this weekend right?" Quinn asked, pulling a pack of Bubbilicious gum out of her schoolbag and handing a piece to her friend. Rachel hesitated, taking the gum and placing it in her mouth.
"I'm not sure Q... is Santana and Brittany going to be there? I'm pretty sure Santana dislikes me..." She frowned before Quinn took her hand and interlocked their fingers.
"Come on Rach, they'll be there, but I won't have fun unless you're there too. I'll make sure Santana behaves herself." She pouted, making the sad puppy dog face. Rachel sighed and smiled softly at the blonde, squeezing her fingers lightly.
"I'll be there."
"Let's play Truth or Dare." Brittany suggested with excitement on the night of Quinn's party, after hours of playing board games, watching movies, and using the girl's new karaoke machine.
"Last time we played Truth or Dare, Puckerman tried to kiss me." Santana made a face of disgust. "Boys are gross." Brittany nodded and rubbed Santana's back soothingly.
The girls played for what seemed like hours. The game started off with things like, I dare you to prank call one of the neighbours, or I dare you to go down to the basement and stay down there with the lights off for 5 minutes. As it continued, the game got more personal.
"Rachel. Truth or Dare?" Brittany asked, grabbing a handful from the popcorn they had made earlier. Rachel hesitated, not wanting to pick dare in fear she'd be forced to do something like run down the street wearing nothing but her underwear, like Santana's last dare.
"Truth." She decided.
"Have you ever kissed anyone?" Santana asked, raising her eyebrows.
"Your kitty doesn't count," Brittany added. "I thought my first kiss was with Lord Tubbington, but I was wrong." Rachel looked down, embarassed to admit she hadn't kissed anyone before.
"N-no.. I haven't.. I'm 10.. I don't need to be kissing anyone..." She mumbled, not meeting the girl's eyes. Santana smirked.
"Quinn, I dare you to kiss Rachel." Quinn's eyes widened and Rachel's head shot up quickly.
"Come on it's no big deal, BritBrit and I kiss all the time. Who better to have your first kiss with than your bestfriend?" Santana shrugged. Quinn looked over at Rachel and shrugged, I wouldn't mind kissing you... she thought to herself. Rachel bit her lip and looked away, uncomfortable with all the girl's staring. Quinn sighed, sensing the girl was feeling awkward.
"I have an idea," The blonde said, changing the subject. She grabbed a little box from her nightstand. "Fake tattoos anyone?" Brittany and Santana squealed with excitement and grabbed the box from Quinn's hands.
"I want the unicorn one, here San, you can have the rainbow." Both girls shuffled off Quinn's bed and headed for the bathroom
"Quinny... what's a fake tattoo?" She asked curiously, watching as the blonde reached into the box and grabbed one.
"You've never had one of these put on before?" Quinn looked up to find Rachel shaking her head.
"They're not permanent, come with me, I'll show you how it works." Quinn led the girl into the bathroom and sat her down on the edge of the bathtub. She grabbed a wash cloth and turned on the tap, letting the warm water run over it. She then returned to Rachel and placed the tattoo against her cheek, and held the warm cloth against it. She watched as Santana did the same but on Brittany's arm.
"What are you doing?" The brunette asked, confused.
"Shh, you'll see." Quinn held the warm cloth against her cheek for another moment before taking it off and pulling back the damp piece of paper. She took Rachel's hand and led her to the mirror, smiling when the girl gasped.
"It's a gold star." She said, amazed.
"You're my gold star." The blonde whispered, kissing Rachel's cheek.
I'll most likely update chapter 3 tomorrow :) x
