Chapter 3 – Of Stars and Dreams

The week continued on rather rapidly and after a few days of stares and questions, it was finally Friday. Ali pulled up to the school on her motorcycle and parked it next to Puck's truck. She slipped off her helmet and put it in its compartment under the seat smiling. One thought ran through her head as she walked towards the school, Quinn.

Today would be the day she woos Quinn. She had everything planned already and couldn't wait for 6pm. Ali stopped in the hall way next to a locker and leaned against the wall next to it. Soon the locker's owner was next to her putting in the combination.

"You know you don't have to wait at my locker to walk me to class every day." The smile on the blonde's face indicated that she enjoyed it.

Ali smirked and looked at Quinn who was searching through her locker. "But if I didn't wait for the princess some other charming knight will take her away." Quinn shook her head and pushed Ali's arm playfully.

They were both smiling as Quinn leant in and whispered in the rebel's ear. "There are no other knights here in this school. The others are Neanderthals and barbarians." The two broke out into laughter as Quinn shut her locker. Ali took Quinn's bag before she could protest and they started walking. "You know I can carry my own bag, Al."

Ali smiled at the girl next to her. "But I want to carry it for you, Luce." Quinn blushed at the nickname the rebel adopted for her and pushed her arm.

"I told you not to call me that." The blond mumbled and looked anywhere but at the brunette next to her.

"When are you going to learn Luce? I don't listen very well." She smirked and the two stopped in front of the blonde's first class. "We are still on for tonight right?" The blond smiled and nodded taking her bag and looking down both halls before leaning up to kiss the rebel's cheek then whisper in her ear.

"You won't be getting into my pants anytime soon, Stud." Ali shivered at the idea and when she opened her eyes again, Quinn was already gone. The rebel shook her head and wandered down the hall to her first class of the day, thoughts of the blond plaguing her mind.

Ali had escorted the beautiful blond to every one of her classes and now it was lunch time. The two were sitting on the bleachers outside enjoying the atmosphere. Only four other members from glee were with them, Santana, Britney, Puck and Rachel. The two cheerios were snuggled up to one another barely paying attention to the others. Puck was talking with Ali bout a new club he wanted to hit with her. Rachel was talking to Quinn about their college plans.

Ali was tuned out of Puck's rant about the club and listening to Quinn and Rachel's conversation.

"So, you are going to Yale?" Rachel's voice seemed to hold a tone of excitement.

"Yea, they gave me a full ride. There's no way I'm passing that up. How about you and NYADA?" Quinn spoke with a small smile on her face.

"Kurt and I are both going. I'm glad he was still willing to be my friend despite the break up between Finn and me."

Ali tuned out at that point, her thoughts taking over. She's going away after high school. Would she let me tag along? She shook her head and tuned back into what Puck was saying.

"Anyway, dude, I think we should totally go pick up chicks while we are there." He looked to his partner in crime and she smirked.

"I'm not gonna pick up any chicks but I'll be the best damn wingman I can." The two laughed and looked around at their little group of friends. "Hey, who wants to go to a club Saturday and watch Puck fail to pick up chicks?"

"Hey. I got skill, I can pick up anyone." Everyone started to laugh as he did a muscle man pose.

Santana and Britney looked at each other then the Latina spoke up for the both of them. "We're in. We could use a good laugh and a night out." Ali nodded to them.

Rachel looked a bit uneasy about it but agreed to go if she could bring Kurt and Blaine. No one opposed that idea so she smiled as Ali nodded to her.

Quinn looked around at the group and a smirk slowly grew on her face. "I need a night out with my girls. Oh, and you can come to Puck." Ali laughed at Quinn's comment as the bell rang for the next class. Puck and Rachel headed off together considering they have the same class, and Santana and Britney disappeared together, probably to skip and make out.

Ali looked to Quinn and offered her a hand to get up. Quinn took it smiling but didn't let go after she was standing. The two stared at each other for a moment before letting go and walking down the bleachers.

The day passed on and it was now the minute before the last bell of the day. There was no glee today so Ali waited patiently tapping her pencil. The minute was passing by slowly and she just wanted it to end already. She let her mind wander off to what she has planned as she waits. Just when she got to the midpoint of what she has planned the bell rang and she sprung into action, grabbing her bag and sprinting out the door.

Quinn was already at her locker by the time Ali got there. She shut her locker as Ali walked up to her. "Hey Al, here to escort me to my car?" The two smiled at each other and Ali grabbed Quinn's bag for her.

"Be ready at 6." Quinn nodded as they walked to the parking lot. "Oh and do you mind riding on my bike?" The blonde looked to the rebel as she let the thought of riding the motorcycle to their date pass through her mind. She nodded and smiled taking her bag from the brunette then climbing into her car.

Ali watched her drive away as her friend snuck up on her. Puck slapped a hand down onto her back and grinned at himself as he spoke. "You going to sweep the celibacy captain off her feet?" Ali smirked and walked away not saying a word as she climbed onto her bike and left.

The time was quickly approaching six when a roar could be heard outside the Fabray house. Ali had just pulled up in front of the house with five minutes to spare. She slid off her helmet and left it on the seat as she approached the door. Just as she raised her hand to knock on the dark oak door it flung open to reveal an older blond woman. The woman looked Ali up and down before stepping aside to let her in.

"Hello Miss Fabray. I am Ali Simmons." She held her hand out for the woman to shake. Slowly the older woman grasped the hand and gave a slight shake to it. "Is Quinn ready yet, or should I wait outside."

The older woman finally let a smile crack out onto her face. "Call me Judy dear. Quinn will be down in a moment. Why don't you wait in the living room with me and talk for a little while?"

Ali gulped and followed Judy into the living room. She hoped Quinn wouldn't be long. However her hopes went unanswered when she was still in the living room three minutes later answering the questions thrown her way.

"So dear, I heard you were in a juvenile detention center before. Why were you ever sent there?" The brunette sighed as she saw the older woman look at her with apprehension behind her eyes.

"Well, to be honest Ma'am, I was in there for assault. An older man kept harassing my friend and when no one helped her, I took matters into my own hands. He pressed charges and I was sent to the center for six months. Luckily while the trial was going on I was able to get a restraining order placed on him so he can't go near her again." The older woman was speechless and luckily Quinn chose that moment to walk in. She had been hiding around the corner when she heard what her mother was asking and she wanted to hear the answer.

"Hey Ali, you haven't been waiting long have you?" The brunette stood and smiled to the blond.

"No, your mother has been keeping me company while I waited." Quinn nodded and took Ali's hand walking out the front door with a simple 'Later Mom.' thrown over her shoulder.

Ali smiled and opened the compartment to get the extra helmet for Quinn to wear. Both girls slid on the helmets and looked to each other with smiles. Ali straddled her bike and started it up, she felt Quinn get on behind her and soon two pale arms were wrapped around her torso. She smiled as she drove off with Quinn cuddled into her back.

The rebel slowed the bike down to a stop on a dirt road far off from any main roads. She cut the engine and put the keys in her pocket. She smiled when Quinn still hadn't let go. "Princess, not that I mind this at all, but if you don't let go, I can't woo you on our date." She giggled when the blond slowly pulled away. The two got off the bike and Ali opened the compartment for the helmets. They both took the helmets off and started to laugh at the messed up hair of one another. Ali locked the helmets up and covered the bike with a tarp to protect from moisture.

Ali offered Quinn her hand which the blond took without a word. The rebel lead the girl through the trees next to the dirt road. For a few minutes they walked in silence until the blond broke it. "I heard what you told my mother about why you were in juvie." The rebel looked to her and gave a slight nod to continue. "I think what you did shouldn't have been punished. He was in the wrong and no one was stopping him." Ali smiled softly at the blond and nodded, they continued on for a few more minutes before Ali stopped.

"Ok Quinn. right through those trees is our destination. This is the point where you must close you eyes. Don't worry, I won't let you fall." The blond nodded and slowly closed her eyes, she huffed in annoyance however when she felt a bandanna being tied around her eyes.

"I wasn't going to peek." When she was met with silence she sighed. "Ok, I might have wanted to sneak a peak." She felt a hand wrap tightly around hers and start to pull her forward gently. She continued for 57 steps, she counted each one, in total darkness with nothing but a hand leading her. The hand left hers after they stopped and she felt the bandanna being let loose.

"Open your eyes Quinn." The whispered order was followed and slowly hazel eyes opened, after they had adjusted to the light a gasp escaped the blonde's lips. "Do you like it?" The blond nodded frantically as she took in the sight. Before her sat a picnic blanket and basket in a small meadow with a water fall in one end of it. There was wild flowers everywhere and on top the blanket was a makeshift bouquet of those flowers and a green ribbon. Near the water fall there was a deer drinking form the small pond at the bottom of the fall. Ali lead the stunned blond to the blanket and they sat down next to one another. The rebel picked up the flowers and handed them to the blond. Quinn smiled with watery eyes. "W-what's wrong? Did I m-mess up?"

The blond shook her head and her smile grew wider and her eyes grew even more teary. "No, has ever done anything like this for me." Quinn leaned over and kissed the rebel's cheek.

"Yea, well they were idiots if they didn't know a princess needs to e treated like royalty." She smiled at the blond as she got out the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches she made. "I come her all the time. Its my place to just get away. I wanted to share it with you Quinn." She handed the blond a sandwich and set one on her own lap before pulling out two orange crush sodas, handing one to the blond. "I want you to know, I'm not like Puck. He may be my bro, but I don't agree with his philosophy. I don't want booty calls, I want a girl to call my own." The blond listened to every word forgetting about the sandwich on her lap or the soda next to her thigh. "The moment I saw you that first day at McKinley, I knew I wanted to make you my girl. It was like a switch was flipped and my purpose to life wasn't surviving anymore, it was making you smile." The brunette blushed and looked away taking a bite of her sandwich. She felt she had just said too much too soon.

The blond next to her was swooning at the words that were just spoken. She set the sandwich next to the soda and scooted closer to Ali. Quinn took her hand in hers and played with the pale fingers and the multiple rings. Ali looked to her shyly trying to hide the blush that was obvious. "Ali, these past five days you have treated me better than any boy ever has, just ask me already." Quinn smiled at the rebel.

"Quinn" She took a deep breath trying to steady her nerves. "W-will you go out with me, be my girl?"

The blond smiled and looked to the brunette next to her. "That depends."

"On what?" the rebel asked hesitantly.

"On if I can tell the whole school that you're mine and you're off limits." The blond smirked as she watched the cheekiest grin form on the Rebel's face. Ali nodded and stared into Quinn's eyes.

"Sorry I couldn't make anything better than sandwiches." They both giggled and started to eat their dinner, sipping on the sodas as they shared light conversation.

The sun started to set and Ali wrapped her arm around Quinn's shoulders. They both sat in silence until it was dark and the stars and moon were the only light.

"Can we tell our friends tomorrow at the club?" Quinn was looking at Ali as she asked.

Ali smiled and pulled Quinn closer. "I was planning on it princess."

The two laid down on the blanket and watched the stars. The time passed by quickly and soon they were getting up to leave. Ali carried the basket which had the blanket and their trash in it. The two girls held onto one another's hand while they walked back out the forest. They made it to the motorcycle in no time and soon the two were riding back in the peaceful night air.

Ali and Quinn were standing in front of Quinn's door. "I had a really great time tonight Al." They were both grinning like fools at one another.

"I have to agree, it was a great night." Ali smiled and leaned in slowly. Quinn blushed and closed her eyes slowly waiting for Ali to make contact. The rebel smiled and kissed Quinn's cheek while her eyes were closed.

"Hey, that wasn't a-" Quinn had opened her eyes to berate Ali but as soon as she had started talking she was cut off by a pair of soft lips upon hers. Slowly she relaxed and started to kiss back her eyes shutting once again. When Quinn started to nip at Ali's lip the rebel broke the kiss.

"Not that i don't want to make out on your front porch. But your mom is watching through the curtains." The blond blushed and looked to the curtains that shut quickly. She stormed into the house and yelling could be heard. Ali smiled and started to walk back to her bike. Before she made it all the way there Quinn ran up behind her and turned her around to kiss her lips chastely.

"Night Stud. Text me in the morning."

Ali smiled and nodded. "Night Luce. I'll miss you."

They both parted starting to walk backwards towards their destinations. Quinn reached the door first and stood there watching Ali get onto the bike and wave before driving off. Quinn sighed happily and went back inside.
