Hellouu!
Well here is the second chapter, someone kind of asked me why I decided to set Rachel as Christian and Quinn as Satine, when by personalities Rachel Is the Diva and Quinn is more the writer type, and I agree, for most of the stories that's the way it should be, but in this particularly story I didn't feel it like that, I figured Quinn could handle the 'I'm beautiful and I can take advantage of that to get what I want while at the same time I'm faking I'm fine when secretly I want to get out from here' way better than Rachel. And to me Rachel fits better with that passion for the music and the love. Well I hope in the next chapters you could see why I picture them like this.
Truth to be told, I won't be following the story literally how you will see in the next chapters, there are going to be a few changes just to make the story a little more spicy and just so you don't feel like 'yeah yeah i already know how this is going to be and how is going to end' .
So, i hope you like it, thanks for read and for the RW. ;)
Once again sorry for the mistakes.
Ohh and sadly I don't own neither characters and stories from Glee nor Moulin Rouge, I only own the crazy mind that put them together :D
It's rated M just to be safe for futures chapters ;)
The day came, the very first day I put a foot in the Moulin Rouge.
The very first day that I met William Schuester and his infamous girls. They called them his 'Diamond Cheerios' they were dancers, most of them acrobatic dancers; they could basically fly while dancing, something very entertained to watch I must say. But from all of them, there were three special girls; people call them the 'Unholy Trinity'.
Brittany… a tall blonde girl, she was the best dancer of the Moulin Rouge, once I heard she was the choreographer of the group numbers. A really sweet and talented girl.
Santana… the Latina girl, she had the most powerful voice of the Moulin Rouge, her temperament was so strong, you definitely wouldn't want to make her mad. I heard she even had a double personality, when she was angry she could change from Santana to 'Snix' and start to curse in Spanish.
And Quinn… a redhead Angel with hazel eyes, the biggest star of the Moulin Rouge, she was beautiful, she was elegant, she had this sensual husky voice that could take your breath away. She was just perfect.
That was the day…
The day my life changed…
For Good.
- CHAPTER 2 -
Welcome to the Moulin Rouge
The Group entered to the salon, there was a lot of people dancing and singing and having a good time. They didn't knew how, but Tina had managed to get them a good table "Ok people, i have two news, good and bad" Tina said while they were sitting.
"Oh God! What did you do? the last time you said that, we ended up in jail... for a month!" Kurt asked alarmed.
"What? Nothing! Gosh you are never going to let that pass are you?... Well how I was saying, the good news is ... Mission accomplished! We successfully evaded Mr. Schue." She said smiling.
"And the bad one?"
"Well... We still have to be discreet, Sue is here, I wasn't expecting her tonight"
"Who's Sue?" Rachel asked.
"Woa Girl, you really don't know anything about this place right?" Blaine was amused "Sue is the manager of the Moulin Rouge, she's basically 's boss, she owns and rules the financial part of all this"
"In the underworld are saying that she's sick of the 'artistic-romantic' ways of Schuester, and that if he can't increase the incomes soon, then this is going to disappear and become just a whorehouse" Tina explained.
"What a bitch!" Kurt exclaimed
"I know! That's why we all need you Rachel, with your help and talent we can make of the Moulin Rouge a place for the arts, a home for the first truly bohemian revolutionary play!" Tina said excited.
To say that Rachel was freaking out was the less, but before she could react or say something, the curtain of the stage opened showing at Mr. Schue at the center who started to sing...
"OUTSIDE IT MAY BE RAINING… BUT IN HERE IT'S ENTERTAINING! … THE MOULIN ROUGE IS THE PLACE TO BE!… AND WE ARE ALL HERE … 'CAUSE WE CAN CANCAN!" and at that moment a explosion of lights and dancers filled the room, singing something like "VOULEZ-VOUS COUCHER AVEC MOI CE SOIR" or at least that's what Rachel understood. It was a real madness.
All of sudden, all the lights went out and Quinn made her big entrance from the ceiling, sitting on a trapeze.
"It's her! The sparkling Diamond Queen!" Tina told Rachel excited. And Rachel almost could swear her heart skip a bit at the image in from of her. She was flawless.
"After her number, I've arranged a private meeting. Just you and Mademoiselle Quinn. Totally alone!"
"Alone?" Rachel suddenly felt a little panic at the realization of what she had to do, of course she was sure of her talent, but what if she ruins their opportunity?
"Yes, totally alone"
"All right… just remember me, why I am dressed like this?" Rachel asked, she was clad in a man suit, with her hair hidden in a top hat, a fake beard and a monocle.
"Because we had to be incognito to enter, Duh" Tina said nonchalantly.
"A KISS ON THE HAND MAY BE QUITE CONTINENTAL … BUT DIAMOND'S ARE A GIRL'S BEST FRIEND…" Quinn was singing as she leaned back on the trapeze, causing it to go around in a circle, as she touched the men's hands.
Rachel was lost in the extravagant performance and the incredibly beauty of the called Sparkling Diamond Queen. And at that moment she wasn't in panic anymore, she actually wanted to meet this girl already. What Rachel didn't knew was that someone else was going to meet Quinn that night too.
The Duke. Jesse . 's investor.
"When I am going to meet the girl?" The young Duke asked.
"After her number, I've arranged a special meeting. Just you and Mademoiselle Quinn. Totally Alone."
"Good" The young Duke was close from the table where Rachel and the bohemians were.
"CAUSE WE ARE LIVING IN A MATERIAL WORLD, AND I AM A MATERIAL… GIRL" Quinn sang still from the trapeze. "Come get me boys" a group of men dancers lifted Quinn into the air and she had a smile on her face as she looked down to the crowd.
"Oh my, she looks like an Angel" Rachel kept marveling over this girl. "So, after this I'm going to meet her right?" she asked Tina.
"Excuse me" said walking out from the table of the young Duke and making his way to the table where Quinn was now standing.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll go to check things up" in her way Tina accidentally knocked into a waiter, causing a tray of tea to fall over the young Duke. "Oh! I'm terribly sorry"
"Is the Duke here, William?" Quinn asked in a music bridge.
"Would Daddy let you down, my Queen? Schuester turned around to see the young Duke, and gasped at the sight before him. Tina was trying to help the young Duke to get the tea off from him. "Ahh"
"Where is he?"
"He's the one Tina is shaking a hanky at."
At that moment Tina went over to Rachel "Excuse me, may I borrow? She took the hanky from the pocket of Rachel's suit shaking it to her. So when Quinn looked at who Tina was shaking a hanky, she saw at Rachel in disguise, therefore she thought that 'he' was the Duke. "Are You sure?" because of the bright lights and the distance, she couldn't quite distinguish the image of the young Duke.
"Let me peek" Schuester turned around again and saw Tina who was now shaking the hanky at the real Duke.
"Let me finish. I'm ever so sorry! It's so embarrassing." Tina said to the angry young man who was cursing at her in return.
"That's the one, my dear. I hope that demonic little loon doesn't frighten him off." William Schuester said as he hand her a heart made of diamond's, making Quinn Squeals.
"Clean yourself off you bourgeois pig!" Tina snorted as she threw the hanky at him. The duke's bodyguard, Dave Karofsky, grabbed Tina and turned her around, showing her a gun. "Sorry, sorry!" she said frightened before running away.
Several can-can dancers lifted up their skirts so that Quinn and Mr. Schue were hidden behind them so they can change.
"Will he invest?"
"Pigeon! After spending the night with you, how could he refuse?"
"What's his type? Wilting flower?" she said doing a sad face "Hmm, bright and bubbly?" now she did a 'bright a bubbly' face. " Ah! Or smoldering temptress?" she said doing a sexy face and purring.
"I'd say smoldering temptress. We're all relying on you, gosling" they heard the crowd cheering. "Remember, a real show, in a real theater, with a real audience, and you'll be…"
"A real actress" Quinn finished with a day-dreaming face. She suddenly smiled cutely, as she stand and continue her singing act.
"CAUSE THAT'S WHEN THOSE LOUSES GO BACK TO THEIR SPOUSES"
"Bejeweled vision! Amazonian goodness!" Tina yelled trying to get Quinn's attention.
"DIAMOND'S … ARE A …"
"I've got some exciting news!" Tina yelled again trying to make Quinn to hear her from above the music.
"GIRLS BEST FRIEND" Quinn walked over to Rachel in disguise, who looked up at her star-struck. "I believe you are expecting me" Rachel just blinked and said softly "Yes, yes."
"I'm afraid it's lady's choice!" Quinn said out loud to the crowd who cheered when she pointed at Rachel.
Rachel was too shocked to move. She just wished that the fake beard didn't fall because of all the sweat that was falling from her forehead; but the immobility of Rachel made Quinn thought that she was being rejected, so she squealed and turned around to face the crowd and started to whine. Obviously the crowd supported her.
She turned around to face Rachel again, playfully pouting, then smiling wickedly at 'him', turning back around, she took a handful of each side of her skirt, and wave it each side up/down in turn, alongside yelping "Ow! Ow! Ow!". The crowd started to chant Quinn's name as she continued yelping and trilling.
"I see you've already met my English friend." Tina finally could get close enough to talk with Quinn.
"I will take care of it, Tina" Quinn said turning around to face Rachel. "Let's dance"
"Hit her with your most modern poem!" Tina yelled at Rachel, who stood in the crowd for a while, while Quinn danced and whooped. Then men from the crowd pushed her in to dance with her, encouraging 'him'.
"That seems to go well" Blaine said to the others.
"Incredible" said Kurt.
"She has a gift with the women" the trouty mouth added.
"I told you, she's a genius" Tina grinned.
Rachel was dancing with Quinn, when the other girl kneeled down, her hands going down Rachel's body, who said "Whoa!" definitively surprised. Quinn came back up bringing her hands up, but before she could reach the upper part of Rachel's body she turned to dance in another position.
William Schuester was watching them from a far off corner, that far that he thought that Rachel was the Duke. "That Duke certainly can dance"
"So wonderful of you to take an interest in our little show" Quinn said Rachel while still dancing.
"It sounds very interesting. I'd be delighted to be involved"
"Really?"
"Assuming you like what I do, of course"
"I'm sure I will" Quinn said, Rachel felt good with herself for being able to put that bright exited eyes on the other girl by just talking about the show, if with that she could make her happy, then she definitely would put all of her efforts to make the best show ever for Quinn.
"Tina thought we might be able to, um… do it… in private"
"Did she?"
"Yes, you know, uh, a private… poetry reading" Rachel said talking literally about a poetry reading, but Quinn thought 'he' was talking about sex, and that maybe was shy to say it out loud. "Ohh! Mmm… a poetry reading. Oh I love a little poetry after supper"
"ENTERTAIN US, HERE WE ARE NOW, ENTERTAIN US, CAUSE WE'RE STUPID" the men started to sing trying to catch the attention of Quinn again.
"Just gimme a minute Darling" she said winking at Rachel before turning around to face the crowd "Hang on to your hat boys!" she yelled making all the men throw their hats into the air as Quinn kicked up. Now she was back on the trapeze, continuing her song.
"DIAMOND'S DIAMOND'S… SQUARE-CUT OR PEARL-SHAPED, THESE ROCKS WON'T LOSE THEIR SHAPE… DIAMOND'S… ARE THE GIRL'S… BEST—" Quinn started to gasp for air. She was shaking on the trapeze, and then… she fell off from it.
"Noooo!" William Schuester yelled looking frightened.
Frankenteen, her bodyguard, caught her. Schuester made a head gesture to Frankenteen, telling him to take her to the back.
The crowd went completely silent, not knowing what to think. So, to bring back the act, Mr. Schue triumphantly yelled cheering. The crowd believing it was all part of Quinn's act, started to clap for her. "Quinn! Quinn! Quinn!" Mr. Schue chanted with the crowd.
Santana, one of the Diamond Cheerios and second in charge of the Unholy Trinity, saw Frankenteen carrying Quinn in his arms to the back and followed them.
"Don't know if that Duke's gonna get his money's worth tonight" she said with and evil grin.
"Don't be unkind Santana" said the Môme Fromage of the Moulin Rouge. Mercedes.
"She fainted San, Just fainted" Brittany tag along.
"You two go out there! entertain the crowd" Mercedes yelled, Santana always drove her crazy.
"Oh finally! This is my moment to shine just like the brightest Diamond of here… which I certainly AM" Santana said arrogantly while walking to the stage, Britt turned at Mercedes with an apologetic look "I hope she gets better soon" she said before following Santana.
Yes, that was the very first time I put a foot in the Moulin Rouge.
The very first time I saw Quinn… her eyes… her Smile…
The very first time I talked with her…
The very first time I heard her sing…
And also… The very first time…
…I saw my Angel fall.
