CHAPTER 24

The next morning Rachel was banging on Taylor's door.

"Go away!" Taylor's voice was muffled through the door.

"Taylor if you don't get up and explain I will break this door down." Rachel warned as she heard a whine of protest. "And make sure you are clothed!" Rachel yelled.

Taylor looked at the clock as she pulled boxers and a sweater on. She opened the door rubbing her eyes.

"What is so important that you have to wake me up after your exercise regime?"

"I made use of that gym Todd put it. Now what do you need to explain?" Rachel asked as Taylor yawned.

"We're going to meet the others at the end of this scavenger hunt." Taylor said grabbing a sheet of paper off her desk and handed it to her.

"Where does this lead?" Rachel asked.

"You will find out. But we start at noon." Taylor said shutting the door and locking it.

Rachel let out a cry of frustration and stormed off.

Taylor took the boxers and sweater off and climbed back into bed next to Melissa who cuddled into her side.

"I love you."

"I love you, too. So much." Taylor whispered kissing the top of her head.


Noon finally came around and Taylor and Melissa were getting dressed.

"I swear to god I'm not going to walk right today." Taylor groaned as Melissa smirked and walked up behind her wrapping her arms around her.

"And why is that?" Melissa husked and Taylor groaned.

"No more till this weekend." Taylor whined. "I swear I pulled a muscle in there." Taylor pouted pulling away from Taylor and limping over to the bed where she sat and proceeded to pull her pants on.

"You poor baby." Melissa smirked kissing the pout away.

"More like my poor leg. No more sharing showers for a week." Taylor swore and Melissa shrugged.

"I can do that. I have more time outside of the shower anyway." Melissa winked and Taylor groaned.

"Are you dressed?" Rachel asked knocking on the door.

Taylor rolled her eyes and pulled her cardigan on over her purple tank top. "Yeah." She called and Rachel walked in.

"Hello Melissa." She smiled then glared at Taylor. "Let's go."

"See, it isn't hard to look me in the eye." Taylor smirked and Rachel scowled.

"Hurry up."

"She seems mad." Melissa teased and Taylor frowned.

"Hush up and hurry your sweet ass." Taylor said rolling her eyes and making her way out of the room.

Melissa shook her head in amusement. She loved teasing Taylor.


After getting on the plane Taylor made sure Melissa was sat between her and Rachel. Melissa frowned but did so. Rachel was glaring and asking incessant questions and most repeatedly. Once the pilot announced they could now use electronics in airplane mode Taylor whipped out her iPod and turned the volume up to where she couldn't hear Rachel at all and closed her eyes.

When they landed Taylor called Quinn and sent the Berry men and Shelby to pick them up.

"Daddy, dad, mom!" Rachel cried hugging the three.

"Hi, Hiram, Leroy." Taylor smiled hugging them. "Nice to see you again Shelby." Taylor said hugging her.

"I hear you're our granddaughter now?" Shelby asked as Taylor nodded.

"And who is this?" Leroy asked motioning to Melissa.

"Oh, this is my girlfriend Melissa." Taylor beamed and Hiram and Leroy hugged her.

"Welcome to the family. Rachel told us about you. Good to see you two worked it out." Hiram said.

"When's the wedding?" Leroy asked and Shelby scowled.

"They are too young!"

"As you can see Shelby is the voice of reason." Taylor pointed out and Melissa giggled.

"I like them." She gave Taylor a look. "When is our wedding?" Melissa asked and Taylor paled.

"We have till senior year to start planning." Taylor gulped. "Onwards to the next scavenger stop." Taylor announced loading their bags into the van and getting in quickly.

Leroy, Hiram and Rachel laughed with Melissa while Shelby shook her head and got in the van.

"You will fit right in Melissa." Hiram said patting her shoulder.


When they arrived at the hotel Taylor announced that she was going for a walk and ran off. Melissa huffed and crossed her arms.

"Just let her go." Leroy chuckled as they grabbed the bags and got them settled in.

Once they were settled in there was a knock on the door and Shelby opened it.

"Hello Kurt, you're here for Rachel I presume?" Shelby asked as Kurt nodded and stepped in.

"Where is the diva?" Kurt asked looking around.

"Fuming. She doesn't like this scavenger hunt thing. Apparently Taylor is having fun keeping things from her that she made it obvious that she is keeping something from her and Rachel is going out of her mind trying to find out what that thing is." Shelby sighed then frowned. "I just sounded like her huh?"

"Unfortunately so Shelby but I shall get her off your hands and we will have a great night on the town." Kurt beamed walking into Rachel's room.

Shelby chuckled as she heard Kurt ordering Rachel around and five minutes later they were on their way out.

"Bye Shelby." Kurt waved.

"Be safe!" She called and Kurt sent a wink over his shoulder.

"Where are we going?" Rachel asked. "And where is Quinn?" she demanded.

"You'll get to Quinn very shortly Rachel." Kurt grinned as he brought her into a coffee shop.

"Are you Kurt Hummel and Rachel Berry?" one of the workers asked and both nodded. "I was told to give this to you." He said handing Rachel a box and her favorite coffee.

"What is this?" Rachel asked as the worker left.

"Open it and see." Kurt beamed.

Rachel opened the box and gasped. "It's beautiful."

"Oh my god it is." Kurt gushed. He hadn't seen the dress yet. He took Brittany's word for it. "Look a note." He took it and read it out loud. "Can you keep up? Look out the window." He raised an eyebrow and they looked out the window.

Tina and Mike waved happily at the two. They motioned for them to follow and danced off together.

Rachel covered the dress and got up grabbing her coffee. She and Kurt started following Tina and Mike.

When they stopped they came across a park and under one of the trees was Quinn on a picnic blanket with a picnic basket beside her.

"Hi Quinn!" Tina said taking the box from Rachel. She handed it to Kurt. "Take it to her hotel please." She said.

"We'll be the entertainment for the night." Mike smiled as he hit play on a stereo and took Tina's hand.

"What is all this?"

"The build-up. The day after tomorrow is when the fireworks start." Quinn grinned pulling out two plates. "I made vegan pasta with the help of Taylor who wrote down the directions so even Brittany would understand them." Quinn said.

Rachel giggled. "She drew you little diagrams?"

"Yeah." Quinn blushed and Rachel sat down and leaned over kissing Quinn softly. "Thank you for this. I love it. I love you." Rachel said lovingly.

"Just remember that come the day after tomorrow." Quinn said and Rachel quirked an eyebrow. "You might love it or hate it." Quinn said.

They finished dinner and danced with Mike and Tina for a bit before cleaning up and Quinn dropped her off at her hotel.

"I'll see you the day after tomorrow." Quinn smiled.

"I won't see you tomorrow?" Rachel asked as Quinn nodded kissing her softly.

"But the day after tomorrow and you can see me for forever if you like." Quinn said kissing her again. Deeply this time.

Rachel said her goodbye to Quinn and walked into her hotel room to find Melissa and Taylor curled up together on the couch. The TV was playing softly and Rachel turned to see 'The Nanny' was on. She smiled softly and pulled the comforter off the second bed and covered them with it.

Rachel walked into the bathroom and showered. She got into her pajamas and got into bed.

She had no idea how she was going to survive a whole day without seeing Quinn.


Review please. =D
