Rachel's point of view
As I was walking towards the auditorium l spotted Quinn in the hallway. Something unusual happened, she looked at me briefly and then she left. She didn't even waved to me. I didn't paid much attention though. Every time I was going to her she just looked at me for a second and then disappeared. Something is wrong l need to talk to her, l thought. So, when the bell rang l left a piece of paper in her locker.
I need to talk to you, come to the auditorium- Rachel Berry
I was waiting for her but she never came. Why is she avoiding me? I will talk to her at the end of the school day.

Quinn's point of view
I avoided Rachel today as much as I could. Every time I spotted her, I looked at her briefly and immediately left. It wasn't the easiest thing to do but l had to do it. My neck hurt, so, l couldn't talk to her properly. Rachel is such a caring person but she is also curious. I don't know what l did for her to like me but l totally don't deserve that. I am useless and she is nothing but talented and beautiful. She wrote me a letter, she wanted to talk to me to the auditorium but l never showed up. When school day finished I went straight to my car in order to avoid her completely today. I wouldn't go to the rehearsal we have at her house either because I needed some rest. I was almost at my car when l heard her voice.
"Quinn", she said, running to me. I froze, l didn't move as if I stood there she couldn't see me. I was only watching her from the corner of my eye. "Hey, Quinn", she called again holding my hurt bicep to turn me around so l could look at her. I turned grimacing from pain. I didn't talk. "Why are you avoiding me? Did I do anything wrong? Are you okay?", she started firing questions. "No, no, of course not, you did nothing wrong. I, um, l am fine", l told her, completely avoiding her first question. "You didn't answer my first question. I thought you liked me back. I don't know but usually when you like someone you spend time with them, you don't ignore them", she said crossing her arms in front of her chest. "l am sorry, okay? I do like you, l meant every word I told to your dads", l reassured her. "Then why are you avoiding me and why are you whispering?", she said taking a step back. "Because I don't think that I deserve you, okay?", l blurred out, immediately covering my neck which hurt even more now because I shouted. "Quinn that's nonsense. You deserve whoever you like. You deserve nothing but the best. Why does your neck hurt?", she asked. "It's nothing, don't worry about it", I told her. "Well, l actually do worry", she said taking one more step back. "l don't want you to worry about me. Believe me, when the right time comes l will talk to you. Right now, I don't feel ready", I told her grapping her hand. "I don't know why you like me but I want to try this with you. I was nothing but a bitch to you for years. You didn't deserve any of it and here you are, giving me a second chance", I said kissing her hand.
Santana and Brittany appeared out of nowhere yet again. It was like they were some kind of ghosts, appearing just the right time. "Get a room", Santana said while holding Brittany's hand. "Does that mean we can go on double dates now?", Brittany said with excitement in her voice. "Brit, we talked about this. We won't go on a double date with manhands and the love struck puppy", Santana said as if we weren't there. "Hey, don't call her that and l am not a love struck puppy", l shouted again and then cough. "Please Q reconsider the double dates", Brittany said pouting and Santana dragged her to leave. "See you later Q", they both said and Santana started talking to Brittany again. "Will l see you tonight?", Rachel asked me without leaving my hand. "Of course", l nodded, she kissed my cheek and left. "Hope you feel better", she shot back while leaving.

Rachel's point of view
We were ready to perform. It was time to see if all those private rehearsals would pay off. Quinn learnt the choreography really fast and tried to sing with more emotion during rehearsals. "Good job guys", mister Schuester told Santana and Brittany who performed 'Valerie'. Santana had a very good voice and with Brittany's dance moves they had a chance to win. From all the couples they were the real competition. I am not afraid though because Quinn has an angelic voice and our choreography is flawless after all these rehearsals. "So, who's next?", mister Schuester asked. "We are", l said waving my hand excitingly to see me. "Sure guys. Go ahead, the stage is yours", mister Schuester said and took a sit. Quinn and l got our possessions. I could feel Quinn's nervousness. She shouldn't be afraid of anything, she was amazing at the rehearsals. "You got this Quinn. I believe in you, let's do this", l reassured her and her eyes light up.
"Face to face and heart to heart, we're so close yet so far apart", l sang holding Quinn's hand and facing her. I was so close to her face and then far apart, as the song was saying. "I close my eyes, l look away that's just because I am not okay", Quinn sang, doing exactly as the song said. She left my hand and turned away running some steps away from me. "But I hold on, l stay strong, wondering if we still belong", l sang closing the distance between us and grapping her hand again. "Will we ever say the words we're feeling, reach down underneath and tear down the walls? Will we ever have our happy ending? Or will we forever only be pretending? Will we always, always, always be pretending?", we sang together, meaning every word. Quinn twisted me and then pulled me to her body. As l touched her body she stiffened, l saw her, but she continued singing as if nothing happened. Being in Quinn's embrace felt so usual. It was like l had hugged her a lot of times even though I only had hugged her once or twice. We continued the song while dancing like we were a couple. When we finished, Quinn's beautiful hazel eyes were red from almost crying. I was at the same state. It was like that song described our current state.
When the song finished l couldn't contain myself and I hugged her really hard causing her to moan from pain in my ear. "I am sorry. I couldn't hold myself", l whispered to her. "It's okay. I am fine. You were amazing", she whispered back to me and we sat down. Everyone were staring at us confused. "Guys that was wonderful. Let's see if anyone can overpass you", mister Schuester said looking for the next couple. When everyone finished with their performance mister Schuester clapped his hands to get our attention. "Soooo, it was really hard to decide who will win guys. You all were very good but I think only one couple really amazed us-", mister Schuester said and Santana cut him off. "Come on mister Schuester announce the winners already, Brit and l have to go to Breadstix", Santana held Brittany's hand. I crossed my fingers and turned to see Quinn. She was still nervous and all I could do was to smile to her in order to relax her a bit. "Drums Finn", mister Schuester said and Finn hit his drums. "And the winners are...Rachel and Quinn. Congratulations guys your performance was incredible. It was full of emotion", mister Schuester said. Santana didn't really like this result and she snapped, cursing in Spanish until Brittany whispered something to her ear. The rest of the Glee members didn't say a thing and a couple of minutes later mister Schuester dismissed us. We thanked him for the coupons for Breadstix and left.

Quinn's point of view
When Rachel and l walked out of the classroom she couldn't contain herself, she was so happy we won that dinner. "Quinn you were amazing. I am so happy about that dinner", she told me bouncing up and down. "Actually I want to talk to you about that", l said. "Sure, tell me", she said giving me a gentle squeeze on my shoulder. "I was actually wondering if you would like to go on a date with me? We could use the coupons another time", l asked her shyly. "Of course, I would love to go on a date with you Quinn", she reassured me. "I have to ask your parents first though but I know that they don't like me very much. Of course, I don't blame them", l said, looking down. Rachel lifted my chin with her hand and we locked eyes. "Hey, you are amazing. You have changed and l think that my dads will love this 'new Quinn' if you just give them some time", she told me. "Sure. Look, I have to go but, um, I will see you at seven o'clock, well, your parents l mean and then we can go out if the do me the honor to allow me to take you out", l told her. We said our goodbyes and then l left. When I got home l went straight to my room and locked myself in, so I couldn't get myself into trouble until I had to go to Rachel's house.
When the time came l left my room, went carefully to my mum and informed her that I had a date with someone and that l would be late. She nodded and l left. I was okay until I reached Rachel's place. Suddenly I felt extremely nervous. Actually, every time I was standing at that door I felt nervous. You know, the thought that inside that house was the girl l like and her dads who are furious with me because l was bullying her daughter for years doesn't really help, especially when l want to ask them if they allow me to take their daughter out on a date. I can't help it though. I was standing in front of the door for like five minutes which felt like an eternity when I finally decided to knock the door. Once again Rachel's daddy, as she called him, Hiram opened the door. "Hello miss Fabray", he said not as coldly as the other times. "Hello sir", I said. "Come in. Didn't you perform today? Do you have more rehearsals?", he asked. "Yes sir, we performed today. No, we don't have any rehearsals. In fact, we won the prize for the dinner at Breadstix", l answered while stepping further into the house. "Do you want me to call Rachel? She is upstairs in her room", he said. Rachel and I were getting along very well whenever I was there, so, I hope that her parents would allow me to take her on a date because they were observing me closely while I was interacting with her. "No sir. I actually came to talk to you and your husband", l informed him. "Leroy, my husband is downstairs tidying the basement but I can call him upstairs so you can talk to us", he said and left the living room after telling me to sit down gently.
Both Rachel's dads came to the living room and sat side by side. Nervousness hit me so hard that l was about to snap and run out of the house and as far away as I could. Damn it Quinn, come on, it's just a question, l was telling to myself. Just then Leroy's voice brought me back to reality. "So, miss Fabray what's that you want to talk to us about?", he asked me. "Um, you know, Rachel and l won a dinner at Breadstix but l actually told her to use the coupons another time. So, l was wondering if l can take Rachel on a date, l mean if that's okay with you of course", l asked hesitantly. "The last few days while you were rehearsing with our baby girl, l kind of met a different Quinn Fabray than the one Rachel was usually talking about to us. I only hope this change of yours is real or else there will be consequences", Leroy said. "Of course sir. Rachel only changed me for the best. I am truly sorry for everything I put her through all those years. I just wanted to get her attention. All l am asking you is a second chance to prove that l have changed. So, can l take Rachel on a date tonight?", l told them, meaning every word l said. "If you put it that way then yes you can but you need to know that you will be under observation", Hiram said this time. "l understand sir. I am sorry", l said. "Just bring her home at midnight and have fun. Now, if you'll excuse me I have a basement to clean", Leroy said and left. "Go talk to her l am pretty sure she is waiting to hear from you", Hiram said and left as well.
I ran as fast as I could to tell Rachel the good news. "Can l come in?", l asked. "Yes", l heard her voice from the other side of the door. I entered and immediately hugged her. I was so happy that I didn't even care about the pain l felt when I hugged her. "So, l assume they said yes", Rachel said. "Yeah, they did. I'll pick you up at nine o'clock sharp", l informed her and after giving a kiss to her cheek l left. I only stayed home for an hour and then l left again. I drove to the nearest flower shop and bought her a bouquet of red roses. I know, cliché but l can't help it. Every time I see her I think I am falling even more than before for her. I was wearing a white knee length dress and a pale pink jacket. I reached her place and parked my car. I stood at her door for the second time this day and took a deep breath to calm my nerves before knocking the door. A couple of seconds later the door opened and Rachel appeared. She was wearing a black short skirt with a black and yellow shirt and black and yellow socks which ended up to her knees, perfectly matched with her flat black shoes. I was just standing there not talking. I can't even remember if l was breathing. "Hi Quinn, you look amazing", she said. "H-Hi Rach, um, thank you. You are stunning", l said looking her beautiful chocolate eyes. "Thank you Quinn", she said and smiled. That smile, I swear that smile will be the death of mine. It was so warm and so genuine. "Um, I almost forgot. These are for you", l told her giving her the roses and smiling back. She took them and then disappeared for a moment. I assume that she went to put them into water.

Rachel's point of view
"So, are you ready?", Quinn asked me. "Sure", I said walking towards her car and then l noticed a scratch on Quinn's car. "What's with your car?", l said almost confused. Quinn was a very responsible and careful person, how did she manage to do that to her car? "It's nothing, just a scratch", she said and of course I didn't push her to tell me more. Quinn rushed to the car to open my door. "How chivalrous of you", l said giving a kiss to her cheek before l entered her car. This was my first date not only with Quinn but my first date in general. I believe in Quinn, l am sure it's going to be special. Operation: Faberry came into a close in just a week, that was the fastest operation l've ever completed. The ride to Breadstix wasn't awkward at all. Quinn allowed me to choose whatever song I wanted from her iPad. Most of the songs she had were melancholic and sad. "Don't you have any upbeat songs?", I asked frowning. "Of course. Find the song with the title 'Be Okay', it's a happier song than most of the songs l have", she told me. The song was so upbeat that if l wasn't in her car l would start singing and dancing. Quinn parked her car and immediately came to open my door once again. "You are such a gentleman", l said as playfully as I could. I took the hand she offered me and we entered Breadstix.
It was only ten thirty, which meant that we had one and half hours before our date was over. "How about we go for a walk?", Quinn asked me. "Sounds good to me", l said. As soon as I was with Quinn, I really didn't have a problem about what we would do. Although I protested, Quinn didn't let me pay the check. "Rach, I was the one asking you out, so l'll be the one paying and stop protesting", that was exactly what she said. We left Breadstix and drove to the park. Quinn again opened my door both times and offered her hand for me to take. We were walking hand in hand until we made it to the duck's pond. Quinn sat on the grass closing her eyes like something bothered her. "What's wrong?", l asked. "Nothing is wrong l promise", she said. "Look, l get it, you said you would talk to me when you would be ready but you are freaking me out Quinn. I don't even know what's that you want to talk to me about and l really don't imagine good stuff every time you stiffen. I've caught you do that many times this week. I am starting to worry, you know", l said looking at her worryingly. "Hey, I am fine, okay? I just slipped and fell at school. It happens to everyone. Can we just enjoy our first date and pretend just for now that we don't worry about anything?", she said almost pleading me to change the subject. I don't know if I should believe her but that was all she gave me.
Quinn lied down and nodded to me to do the same. As l lied down too, I placed my head at Quinn's shoulder and my hand was covering her stomach. Her breathing was faster than normal and her heart was pounding just as fast. I could just stay like this forever. Quinn's body was so warm that I felt myself melting against her. She hugged me and we were just lying there. "Rachel?", Quinn said. "Yes, Quinn?", I told her immediately. "Do you see that star over there?", she said pointing out a bunch of stars but only one of them was brighter. "Yes, what's about it?", l asked not moving. "One day you will be brighter than that star. You, actually, will become the brightest star of them all", Quinn said and my heart started pounding faster as well. We were watching the stars and every now and then Quinn showed me some constellations. "This is a constellation called 'Orionas'. Most of the constellations have ancient Greek names", she said. "l didn't know that. Although I love stargazing l never actually learnt a thing about stars", l stated. "You are so cute when you frown", Quinn said. To be honest, I didn't realize l did that but as soon as Quinn gave me her gorgeous smile I didn't care.
When the time came Quinn and l got up. It was time for me to return home as my dads instructed Quinn. We went to her car and before I entered, Quinn grabbed my hand to stop me. "The scratch on my car... It, um, it happened when I accidentally hit my father's car", she said. "And why are you telling me this?", l asked confused. "It's a first step, right?", she told me. "Sure, one step at a time", l couldn't help how cute Quinn was. What she told me, it wasn't something important but again it was something she was comfortable to let me now because several minutes ago when l asked her about it she didn't answer. I couldn't contain myself any longer and l crashed my lips on hers. I put my hands on her cheeks and kissed her as if it was the last time I was ever going to see her. She pulled me closer, resting her hands on my waist. Her lips were so soft like velvet and I could feel her cheeks burning up. She licked my bottom lip a bit, seeking for access which I happily gave her. Our tongues got into a domination battle. I let Quinn get the lead because l was so curious about the feelings she was going to express through this kiss. I could taste regret and fear at her lips. It was like a kiss full of sadness.
When oxygen became an issue we broke apart. "Let's get you home", Quinn said, giving me an almost forced smile. After ten minutes of driving, Quinn parked her car and walked me to my door. "I really had a great time, Rach", she admitted. "l had a great time too, Quinn. Thanks for taking me out", l said and we locked lips for a couple of seconds. "See you soon, goodnight", she said and pecked my lips. "Goodnight Quinn", l said hugging her briefly. I entered the house, closing the door behind me and leaning against it. It was the greatest date l've ever had. Well, it was my first date in general but still. I was so happy when my dads appeared in the living room. "Hey, sweetheart, did you have a good time at your date?", my dad said smiling. "Yes dad. It was perfect. We went to Breadstix at first and had dinner and then Quinn took me to the park for a walk. We lied on the grass near the duck's pond and watched the stars", l said excited. "Calm down honey. It's so nice to hear that you had a good time but it's late and you have school tomorrow. So, go brush your teeth and then go to bed young lady", my dad said playfully. "Goodnight dad. Goodnight daddy", l shouted the last part for my daddy to hear wherever he was.

Quinn's point of view
When Rachel got into her house l started jumping up and down from happiness till l reached my car. As a Head Cheerio l had plenty of dates but it was the first time I was so happy after one of them. It was almost two in the morning when l got home. I didn't return right away, l drove around listening to music. I was listening to 'Jet black heart' when it hit me. Rachel watched me when I was uneasy l couldn't let her know anything yet. When l got home my father was sleeping but my mum was sitting in the living room. "Hi mum. What are you doing up at two in the morning?", l asked her. "I was waiting for you actually. How was your date Quinnie?", my mum said. "lt was great mum, thanks for asking", I told her. "So, what's the name of the young man that has your attention now?", my mum asked. "Well, actually mum... Well, you know, it's, um, you know that person so to speak. I kind of talked about that particular person sometimes and how talented they are. We also are together in Glee club", l just couldn't say her name. Although it was only two words l couldn't say them. "You have only referred as a talented person for that Rachel Berry... No, wait, it can't be", she said and l immediately felt embarrassed and guilty. "You were on a date with Rachel Berry? The Rachel Berry who has two dads? Are you out of your mind Quinn?", my mum said whispering. I knew shit got real when she called me Quinn. "Mum l am sorry, okay? Dad made me torture her because she has two dads. I was so cruel to her and l-l couldn't help it mum. I think I am falling in love with her even more whenever I see her. She is so brave and-and stunning. I admire how she kept her head up every time I slushied her. She's a great singer and she will be a star one day. And she-she changed me mum", I said without realizing that I was crying. My mum was staring at me speechless. "Quinnie, honey, I can tell you are telling the truth and for once l want to be here for you. I know l am not the best mother in the world and l never will be but, um, l want to make a fresh start with you. I want you to be happy and I want you to know that I love you no matter what Quinnie but your father must never find out", she said and then hugged me. "I know mum. I love you. So, um, l will go to bed now. Goodnight", l said giving her a goodnight hug. "Goodnight Quinn", she told me back.
