AN: For the Gleeks. I try to write short chapters, so I can update asap. And I'm dissecting each scenes from 'New York' ep to decide whether or not such scenes needs to be rebooted. R&R!

Chapter 3 'Old NY, Wet NY' Gleeks

INT. INTERCONTINENTAL NY TIMES SQUARE – DAY

Mercedes, Tina and Quinn walk past Mr. Shuester who was talking to the hotel's receptionist.

"Did you know that New York City was built right on top of old New York City?" Mercedes blithely states to Tina.

"I'm pretty sure that's not true." Tina answered.

"Oh I'm just pretty." Mercedes said to her, ending their conversation; this made Tina smile.

Quinn ignored the conversation of the two girls in front of her as she herself was deep in her own thoughts. She hears Finn greet Rachel 'Hi' from behind her, then walks away still following Tina and Mercedes.

"Hi." Rachel greets back at Finn, as they walk side by side. "I'm surprised at how well Quinn is taking the break up. I guess I was wrong about her being a vindictive harpy." she added.

"I guess she'd just accept the inevitable." Finn suggested.

"Oh maybe she's just distracted by the awesomeness of New York. I know, I am." As she hopped giddily. "Hey, d'you know why it smells wet here all the time?" continuing her rambling.

Quinn,standing beside Santana, looks on as Rachel and Finn walk past them; she overhears their conversation.

"Nope. So what's going on between you and Jesse?" Finn asked seizing the opportunity.

Quinn sees Brittany who joins them, then pretends to listen when Brittany started questioning the latina if there were ducks at the Central Park. But she was still keen on hearing what the tiny brunette was saying.

"I don't know he keeps texting me. But I told him I don't want to talk 'till I get back. No boys, no distractions until we win that trophy." Rachel said pointedly then leaves Finn behind, who was blinking trying to comprehend what Rachel had just told him.

Mr. Shuester approaches Finn and asks if he'd seen Puck. They both see Puck and Lauren at the hotel bar trying to order a 'Manhattan'. Will instructs them to go to their room for a group meeting.

"Okay, Rachel said 'No Boys, No Distractions'. This is perfect." Quinn's inner monologue voice sounded so happy, it literally made her smile. Not caring if anyone sees her. "Now, all I have to do is to get Finn to do the one thing that is unforgivable to Rachel." her smile turns to an evil grin. "Cost us Nationals."

Cut to next scene.
