CHAPTER 12
Rory nervously walked up to Aya during lunch. "Uh, h...hey, Aya."He waved awkwardly.
Aya saw this and smiled. She thought the kid was cute. "Hey Rory." She closed her locker and turned to the boy.
"Uh…um...would you like to, uh, join us for lunch?" Rory asked and Aya giggled.
"I would love to. I am assuming us is the New Directions?" Aya asked and Rory nodded.
Rory led the way to the cafeteria and to the table New Directions was sitting at.
"Hey Aya." Puck grinned.
"Puckerman." Aya says sitting between Rachel and Rory.
"What are you really doing here?" Finn asked narrowing his eyes at Aya.
"Just joining a team that has the potential to take Nationals this year. If they get rid of their T-rex problem." Aya said with a smirk as some of the members snickered.
"I'm the team captain and you have to respect me." Finn said.
"Or what? You'll corner me but your big head will make it impossible for you to reach me?" Aya asked and Finn looked at her blankly. "Obviously you have never seen "Meet the Robinsons."" Aya sighed.
"Ooh!" Brittany exclaimed. "I love that movie. I'm making my own time machine!" Santana smiled at her lovingly.
"And I'm sure it will be an amazing time machine." Aya grinned.
"What is with you and kid movies?" Finn asked.
"I have three younger siblings all under the age of twelve. They love Disney." Aya said. "But they might mistake you for the giant in Jack and the beanstalk though." Aya laughed.
"What is your problem with me?" Finn shouted gathering the attention of a few around them.
"Other than the fact that you don't deserve the beautiful girl on your arm, you're stupid, an idiot and a jerk?" Aya asked. "Many things." She said.
Quinn couldn't help but feel the jealousy build up in her as she giggled at what Aya had said. She already had to compete with Finn to get her girl. She did not want to have to compete with someone else.
"You better watch your back." Finn seethed.
"Oh!" Aya mock gasped. "Are you going to smother me with your man boobs?" Aya asked as Santana howled in laughter.
"Just watch your back." Finn said before getting up. "Come on Rachel." Finn said and Rachel looked conflicted. "Rachel."
"She's not your dog Lenny." Quinn snapped getting a smirk out of Aya and then paused and thought about that for a second. Quinn couldn't watch this train wreck anymore. Rachel and Finn weren't good together. Anyone with eyes could see it. Except Rachel who was forcing herself to be happy with this.
"San, didn't Lenny kill the puppy?" Brittany asked and Santana nodded.
"But it was an accident remember?" Santana reminded and Brittany nodded.
"But I don't want Rachel to die." Brittany said.
Sugar, Harmony and Rory exchanged a glance. There was no worry in Rachel dying. Was there? They sure hoped not.
"I wouldn't kill Rachel!" Finn shouted.
'Yeah.' Harmony thought. 'Just Santana.' Harmony cast a glance at Santana then back at Artie. There was no surprise to the teenager when she saw a walking Artie Abrams the other night with Rory. He got the procedure done long ago when doctors figured out how to heal those paralyzed. Well not long ago now, but long ago in their…Harmony shook off her train of thought. She was making herself dizzy.
Harmony was however trying to figure out how Artie fit into it all. She understood Finn and Sebastian. But Artie?
"I'll see you guys later." Rachel said taking Finn's outstretched hand and walking away.
Quinn watched longingly as Rachel walked away with Finn.
"What is your deal with Finn?" Quinn asked Aya who shrugged. Quinn didn't really like this girl. She agreed to help in make Finn angry. But she didn't like how close the girl was getting. She agreed with Finn on one thing and one thing alone. She didn't trust this girl. She could pull a Jesse and jump ship right before a competition and tell all her evil friends their set list and everything.
"Shelby is my friend. She told me what was going on before trying to get me here." Aya said taking a hamburger out of a brown paper bag and taking a big bite out of it.
"Shelby wanted you here to break them up?" Harmony asked finally getting it. Shelby played her wild card.
Aya smiled at Harmony. "Bingo."
"How do you plan that?" Kurt asked. He was curious. He has awesome gaydar. He knew the only girl on Rachel's mind and radar is one Quinn Fabray. He was just being quiet so that when the two did get together he could tell Blaine and Mercedes 'I told you so'.
"Anger Finn until he does something really stupid and jerk like and she breaks up with him." Aya shrugs.
"Anything we can do to help?" Quinn asks.
"Just keep doing what you're already doing. Nothing and laughing to my jokes and insults or even add to them if you like." Aya says nonchalantly.
As the rest of the week gone by Aya, Puck, Santana and Quinn did their best in bringing Finn down.
Mr. Schue, however, was running an idea past Shelby.
"You want the kids to help you find a song to help you propose to Emma?" Shelby asked and Will nodded.
"Yeah. I love her and I want to marry her. And music is what I know and I know the kids will enjoy performing." Will says and Shelby is reluctant but agrees with the assignment of the week.
Aya was lying across four chairs when Shelby, Puck, Harmony, Sugar and Rory walked into the choir room during their shared free period.
"This assignment sucks. Just so you know." Aya said pulling a feather from her front pocket placing it over her lips and blowing. She watched the feather hover for a second before falling back onto her lips and she repeated the action.
"I'm just helping a friend out." Shelby said and Aya sighed letting the feather fall to the floor.
"I'm just saying. By the end of the assignment Rachel is going to sing some sad ass song about loving the T-rex and then what?" Aya asked sitting up.
"I was hoping you would have broken them up by then." Shelby said.
"My plans only work so fast." Aya said then she looked over at Rory, Sugar and Harmony. "Are you three really from the future?" She asked shocking the three and Puck.
Harmony snapped her head to Shelby. "You told her?" Harmony asked.
"I had to. She knew I was lying in my means to get her here." Shelby said holding her hands up.
Aya smiled. "So it is true." She winked at them. "I think it's cool. That means Brittany really did make a time machine."
"You knew we were from the future when we met?" Rory asked and Aya nodded. Rory was hurt. He really was.
"Did you know Rory has a crush on you?" Sugar said and Harmony elbowed her. "Ow! What?" She realized what she said and gasped. Then she smiled. "Sorry, Asperger's?"
Aya just looked confused. "Oh god." She looked at Rory. She understood why he was so nice to her now. "Rory…"
"It's fine." Rory walked out of the room.
"I'll go talk to him."Aya got up and went after Rory.
She saw him turn the corner and ran after him. "Rory, wait!" She jogged up next to him. "Hey!" She grabbed his arm. "I had no idea. I'm pretty clueless when it comes to things like that." She says apologetically.
"It doesn't matter. We're from two completely different times." Rory said sighing in defeat.
"That doesn't mean you're not hurt." Aya said hugging him. "I am sorry." Aya said.
"It's fine. I should have taken it into account. I mean you're eighteen and I'm fifteen." Rory said and Aya smiled at him as she pulled away.
"That is true. Come on." She nods her head in the direction of the choir room. "Let's go figure out ways to break up your uncle and Rachel." Aya said offering Rory her hand.
He smiled and took it.
As Rachel sings 'Without you' to Finn Shelby is glaring daggers at the back of the boy's head. Harmony is anchored to her seat by Sugar, who is holding her hand tightly, and Rory who has a hand on her shoulder holding her down. Puck is ready to jump out of his seat but then he sees it.
Rachel's eyes flicker away from Finn and to Quinn. He smiles and does an internal happy dance.
Aya sees this as well and casts a smile at Puck. Puck returns it and they look over at Rachel who is still staring at Quinn.
When the song ends and Rachel and Finn share their kiss Aya and Puck make gagging noises with Sam who catches on to what is happening. He lives with Rachel. How could he not have seen it sooner?
"Oh! Gag much!" The three groan making Rachel and Finn pull away,
"You're all just jealous that you don't have someone singing a great ballad to you." Finn snipes.
"Whatever Hudson." Aya waves.
Santana holds her hand up. "You know, I would just like to say you blew that song out of the water and totally nailed the assignment." She scrunches her face up. "Oh no, wait a second. The assignment wasn't make everything about Rachel Berry and force everyone watch was it?" Santana asked looking down at Mr. Schue and Shelby who was too pissed about the kiss to care about the snipe Santana made.
After the pool performance Rachel is in the auditorium with Finn.
Rachel couldn't believe this. Finn was on one knee and she was sure he just made fun of her somewhere in that speech. A thousand things were running through her mind. There was no way.
She asked him to give her some time and left.
Rachel approached Quinn the next day. As Quinn was giving her input Rachel was conflicted. Then Quinn dropped the bomb.
"You have such an amazing future ahead of you. Marrying Finn will ruin all that for you. One day you're going to realize marrying him was a mistake and that there was someone who loves you more than he ever could. There is someone like that Rachel. But you are so blind by the fact Finn will keep taking you back and wanting you that you can't see it."
Was Quinn trying to tell her something? Who loved her more than Finn?
"Who?" Rachel asks shocked.
"If you have to ask you really are blind. Open your eyes Rachel. See past Finn and actually look at everything in front of you." With that Quinn walks away.
"You should say no." Rachel jumped up on the piano bench in the auditorium at the sound of Harmony's voice.
"I'm sorry?"
"You should tell Finn no." Harmony elaborate.
Rachel was confused.
Harmony looked down embarrassed and somewhat ashamed that she was spying on her mom. "I was in the wings when he asked. I didn't mean to spy." Liar.
"Oh." Rachel said looking at the keys.
"Quinn has a point though. About letting go and moving on." Harmony said.
"I just don't know what to do." Rachel sighs.
"Yes you do." Harmony said and Rachel looked up at her shocked. "You're just afraid of what will happen if you go for what you want." Harmony said.
"Is that why you and Sugar haven't told anyone of your relationship?" Rachel asked and Harmony looked down this time.
"The thing with me and Sugar is that before we got together I thought I was going to lose her forever and I didn't want to imagine a life where I wasn't with her the way I wanted so while I was at her house I pinned her against her room door and kissed her." Harmony said.
"You knew Sugar before my party huh?" Rachel asked and Harmony nodded. "Why not tell everyone? In glee I mean?"
"Because we are in our own bubble where nothing in the world matters to us more than the ones we love." Harmony said smiling at Rachel.
"Sounds nice."
"It is. You have to be brave Rachel. Go for what you want the most. The worst thing is that she rejects you. But I know she won't." Harmony said smiling and going to turn on her heel. "I'll see you in Glee later." Harmony waves turning on her heel and walking off.
"Harmony?" Rachel calls.
"Yes?"
"How did you know where to find me?"
"You weren't with everyone else and Quinn told me this is where I could find you when you have to think." Harmony lied. She knew from stories her moms would tell.
"Thank you." Rachel said as Harmony smiled and walked away.
Rachel looked back down at the piano once Harmony was through the doors that she didn't notice the blonde get up and slip through the doors before it could shut.
"Why did you lie?" Quinn asked catching up to Harmony.
"Because I know that her saying yes will ruin her." Harmony said as she continued walking.
"How do you know that?"
"I just do." Harmony said brushing her off and continuing to walk. She sent a text to Shelby, Puck, Sugar and Rory to meet her in the choir room.
"What did Rachel say?" Shelby asked walking in last.
"She is conflicted." Harmony said. "She didn't really say it. You could see it."
"She is going to tell Finn no right?" Puck asked looking at the clock.
"It seems like it." Harmony said as Puck looked at the clock again.
"Got somewhere to be Noah?" Shelby asked.
"Yeah, Aya is waiting for me."
"She finally caved and agreed to give you the time of day?" Sugar asked and Puck nodded.
"You can go. Just continue to piss Finn off." Harmony waved and Puck grinned rushing out.
Sugar patted Rory's shoulder. "You'll find a girl Rory. But you have to understand that Aya and you won't work out. You're from the year 2035 and she's from here." Sugar said trying to comfort her best friend.
"I know. We discussed it. We're friends." Rory smiles.
Review please. =)
Also I would love to hear your thoughts on the OC. I also will put up chapter 12 later today if I get enough feedback.
So, how does Artie fit into this? Any guesses?
