Quinn woke up and saw light pouring in through the window. At first, she was confused. Why wasn't she in her room? Who was that softly snoring a few meters away? Where was she? Then finally she remembered it all. She was in Orlando, Florida. The girl across the room was Tina. And no longer was she single. She smiled at memory of yesterday's events concerning her and Rory. Then she looked at the bright light that illuminated the whole room. Wait, sunlight? That meant the storm was over! Quinn quietly jumped out of bed and walked to the window and looked out. The sun was shining and it glistened off the tops of all the cars in the hotel parking lot. The world still looked damp from the rain and Quinn could spot several puddles on the ground. Quinn spun around on her heels and faced the room. Tina was still sound asleep. Then Quinn noticed the clock. It was on. The numbers were lit up. Meaning that the power was back on. Quinn beamed. She grabbed some clean clothes and went to the bathroom to change, eager for the new day.
When she was dressed in a cute red tank top and white jean shorts, she exited the bathroom. Tina was still asleep. It was past nine thirty. Quinn sat down on her bed and sighed. What to do now? After a minute of silence and boredom, Quinn decided to go see who else is up. In Fort Meyers when they all were in the same room, it was easy to see who was awake or asleep. Quinn pulled quietly opened the night side table drawer and pulled out the hotel's pen and notepad.
'Tina, I was bored so I went to see who else was up. I'll be in someone's room but I don't know who's. If you're not up by the time we want to eat, I'll wake you. Actually, I don't know why I wrote that because if you're not awake to read this then you're asleep so I'll wake you and tell you. Anyways, if you do wake up and realize I'm not in the room, don't panic. Just come find us. BTW, I'm taking the room key. Bye! -Quinn'
Quinn left the note by the clock so Tina would be sure to see it and grabbed the pass card from the top of the TV. She crept out of the room, careful to be quiet. She stepped in the hall and shut the door behind her. The hall was eerily quiet. Quinn actually had no idea who's room was who's. She went to the room to the right and pressed her ear to the door. She couldn't hear anything. And same with the next door and the one across the hall either. Was everyone asleep still?
"What do you think you're doing?" A familiar voice asked.
Quinn froze. Her ear was pressed up against a door but she wasn't facing the speaker. Quinn stood up and blushed as she turned. To face Kurt.
"What are you doing?" Quinn asked with a smile. Kurt had the door of his room open and a slightly confused look.
"I asked you first" Kurt pointed out.
"I asked you second" Quinn laughed.
"Touché."
"I've been up for a while and I got bored so I've been trying to see who's up. I don't think anyone is" Quinn explained. "You?"
"I heard someone creeping around in the hallway" Kurt said.
"Ooops" Quinn said, giggling.
"Not as ninja as you thought, hmm?" Kurt laughed. "Anyways, if you want you can come chill with me and Blaine. We've both been up for a while and have been watching TV."
"Really?" Quinn smiled. "Okay!" Sure, they weren't her first choice, but they were nice and fun and the only option she had. She followed Kurt into the room.
"Blaine! We have a guest!" Kurt announced.
"Who?"
"Me!" Quinn said, coming into Blaine's sight. Blaine lay on the neatly made bed and wore green shorts and a tight blue T-shirt.
"Hey Quinn!" Blaine smiled. "You're up early."
"As are you" Quinn said and sat in the wooden desk chair.
"You can't see the TV from there" Kurt said and he sat next to Blaine.
Quinn blushed and moved from the chair to the other empty bed.
"Any suggestions?" Blaine asked, flipping through the channels.
"There's never anything good on at this time" Quinn said. "Once I got sick and stayed home from school and had to watch dumb little kid shows until noon."
"I know" Blaine nodded.
"I think some music videos are on" Kurt said. Blaine went to the music channel and sure enough, videos were on.
"Ugh, rap" Kurt groaned as Kanye West came on the screen.
"It's better than Dora The Explorer" Blaine said. He set down the remote and turned to Quinn. "How did you sleep?"
"Fine. The storm didn't bug me at all" Quinn said.
"Yeah. I don't even know when it stopped" Blaine said, glancing at the window.
"It looks like a nice day" Quinn mused.
"Yeah. What did Mr. Schue say we were gonna do, again?" Kurt asked.
"I don't recall him saying anything" Quinn said. "But Ms. Corcoran said we may go to an amusement park or something..."
Kurt snapped his fingers. "Yes! That's it!"
"Do you think we're going back to Universal?" Blaine asked. "Or maybe Disney?"
"No and no" Kurt shook his head.
"I guess we'll just have to wait and see" Quinn said with a smile.
"Say, where's Tina?" Kurt asked.
"Sleeping."
"Oh."
They were quiet for a moment. Then a muffled rumble was heard.
Quinn looked over at the two boys. "What was that?"
Blaine and Kurt laughed and Blaine's hands flew to his stomach.
"Sorry" Blaine said. "That was me being hungry!"
Quinn laughed. "That was your stomach?"
Blaine nodded. "Yes."
"Well, I have no food" Quinn smiled.
"Us either" Kurt said. "All the food we brought with us from the condos are still in the coolers somewhere."
A loud knock was heard on the door.
"Ooh!" Kurt smiled and stood up. "More people!"
He walked to the door and looked through the small peep hole. Through the small and warped hole, he saw Rachel and Mercedes, waiting and talking.
Kurt swung open the door with a grin. "Welcome to the early-risers party!"
"Party?" Mercedes asked excitedly. "Yeah!"
Kurt let the girls in and shut the door behind them.
"Hey Blaine...and oh, hi Quinn!" Rachel smiled, noticing Quinn, laying on the bed.
"Hey!" Quinn smiled.
"Hello!" Blaine grinned as Rachel and Mercedes came bounding in.
Mercedes went to the other bed which Quinn occupied. "Scoot over, girl."
Quinn laughed and moved over so Mercedes could sit down too.
Rachel sat at the foot of Kurt and Blaine's bed. "What are we watching? Taylor Swift? Cool!"
"It's the only thing on" Quinn said.
"How long have you been here?" Mercedes asked Quinn.
"Twenty minutes-ish" Quinn said.
"Are you guys hungry?" Blaine asked.
"Yes!" Rachel exclaimed!
"If the others don't wake up soon, I say we just go down ourselves and eat" Kurt said.
"I second that!" Quinn nodded.
Half an hour later, what started out as just Kurt, Blaine and Quinn, turned into Kurt, Blaine, Quinn, Rachel, Mercedes, Finn, Puck, Artie, Mike, Santana, Brittany and Sugar. They were loud and hungry and there still hasn't been any word from Mr. Schue or any of the teachers.
"Wait, I know I've asked this before, but who are we missing here?" Rachel asked, looking around the crowded room.
"Sam, Rory and Tina" Artie answered.
"Oh, yeah" Rachel nodded.
KNOCK!
"Who is it?" Puck asking in a high pitched girly voice that made them all giggle.
"Mr. Schue" came the muffled answer from behind the door.
"I gots it" Santana said and waltzed to the door. She opened it to reveal Mr. Schuster.
"Hello, Santana" Will said, stepping into the room. "Hello all."
"Sup, Mr. Schue?" Finn asked.
"Good. Did you know, you guys are really loud? I heard you all talking all the way down the hall" Will informed them.
"Ooops" Sugar laughed.
"Yeah, so...wait...where's Sam...and Rory and Tina?" Will asked.
"Yes, the room does feel less crowded without Sam's gigantic mouth in here" Santana said.
"Sam, Rory and Tina are still asleep" Mike said.
"Oh... Well, you might wanna wake them up because we should eat. Because we're all going to Fun Spot!"
"I don't know what that is, but it sounds fun" Finn said.
"Or spotty" Artie said.
"Fun Spot is a roadside amusement park" Rachel said.
"How do you know?" Brittany asked.
"I told you already. I did my research before I came."
"Right. Well, can we eat now?" Sugar asked.
"Yes. Go wake up the people who are still asleep then get downstairs, alright?" Will said.
"Yes, yes, okay" Quinn nodded and stood up to go wake Tina.
"Yo, wait!" Artie said. "How are we to wake Rory and Sam up if they're locked in the same room?"
Will paused. "I don't know... Be creative...?"
Puck gave a sly smile. "Are you giving us permission to wake them up by any means necessary?"
Will frowned a bit and then gave a small smile. "No. I got a master key." He pulled out a card from his pocket.
"But other than that, I mean?" Puck asked with a grin.
Will smiled. "As long as no one gets hurt or any other guest lodges a complaint."
"Deal!" Puck yelped and jumped up to grab the master key from Will.
Quinn went back to her room. Tina was still asleep and Quinn felt a bit guilty for waking her from her peaceful slumber.
"Tina" Quinn whispered, shaking her arm gently. "Tinaaaaa."
Tina slept on. "Tina, wake up!" Quinn said and shook her a bit more. "Tina!" Quinn raised her voice a bit and shook her even more.
Finally, Tina moved a bit. Her arm twitched.
"Tina, get up!" Quinn smiled as Tina slowly lifted her head from the puffy pillow. Her straight black hair was a mess and fell in front of her face.
"Wazgoinon?" Tina mumbled. Her words was punctuated with a large yawn.
"We gotta eat" Quinn said.
Tina yawned again and stretched her arms. "What time is it?"
"Almost ten thirty" Quinn said. "We're all up already. And starving, so hurry up!"
"What? I'm last one up?" Tina gasped and threw the covers off herself. "Darn, that's so embarrassing!"
"Don't worry about it" Quinn said, crumpling up the note she had left. Tina grabbed some clean clothes from her bag and rushed to the bathroom.
"Okay, game plan" Mike said. They were all standing outside Sam and Rory's door. Puck held the master key flat in his hand like it was a worm or caterpillar.
"We open the door real quiet and then just go" Finn said with a wide, childish grin.
"Yeah, but we gotta split up so it's...fun for both of them" Artie said.
"Okay. You, you, you, you, you and you get Sam and the rest of us will take Rory" Santana said, pointing to Rachel, Mercedes, Blaine, Sugar, Puck and Mike.
"Okay. Ready?" Puck nodded and slipped the master pass card into the slot on the door. The little green light went on and Puck, very slowly, turned the handle. They, very quietly, crept into the room. Sam and Rory were both still fast asleep. Rory was curled up in a ball on his bed and Sam lay spread out over the other bed with one arm hanging off the edge.
Rachel looked at them all as they all stepped in the room and grinned apprehensively. She held up a finger. Then she added a finger and then another. When the third finger was raised, signaling them to go, everyone smiled and jumped toward their designated bed. They all leaped onto the bed, making the beds shake and wobble from the sudden pressure.
"WAKE UP!" They all yelled as they landed on the beds.
Sam and Rory, who were so not expecting that, jumped up in shock.
Artie wheeled over and pulled back the curtains, filling the room with bright light.
"What the heck?" Rory gasped as Brittany hit his arm as she bounced excitedly on the bed.
"What's going on?" Sam gasped.
"Wakey-wakey!" Mercedes said, ruffling Sam's hair.
"How the heck did you all get in here?" Sam asked, opening his eyes and seeing all his friends. He made eye contact with Rory, who looked as shocked and scared and surprised as he felt.
"Master key!" Puck yelled, holding up the prized card.
"Where did you get that?" Rory gasped, envisioning that they all snuck down to steal it.
"Mr. Schue gave it to us" Blaine said.
"Really?" Sam asked.
"Mhmm" Rachel nodded. "Now get up! We wanna eat!"
"It's kinda hard to get up when you're sitting on me!" Rory said, looking at Santana, who was literally sitting on Rory's chest.
Santana smirked and climbed off Rory and he immediately sat up so no one else could sit on him.
Sam looked at the clock. "Hey! The power is back on!"
"Yeah, we know. Now hurry up!" Mercedes said, playfully hitting Sam's arm.
"Why?" Rory asked, standing up.
"We are starving! And you gotta hurry up so we can eat" Kurt said.
"Okay...okay" Sam said and climbed out of bed.
"Wait, where's Quinn?" Rory asked, noticing the absence of his new girlfriend.
"Aw, he want his girlfriend" Sugar said.
"Awwwww!" All the girls and Kurt cooed in sync.
Finn rolled his eyes at the girls and Kurt's theatrics. "She's waking up Tina."
"Enough chit-chat. Let's go! The quicker you go the quicker you can see Quinn and we can eat!" Artie said, clutching his rumbling stomach.
Ten minutes later, they all stood in the hallway. Quinn and Tina came out of their room and joined them.
"I see you got them up" Quinn said, smiling shyly at Rory.
Rory gave her a hug. "Yes they did. By jumping on us."
Quinn laughed.
"Yes, yes. Hilarious, we know. Now let's go!" Mercedes said, pushing Quinn and Rory to the elevator in a rush. They came to the elevator door.
"Hey Kurt, wanna come on the elevator?" Rachel asked.
"Hey Rachel, wanna get punched in the face?" Kurt asked sarcastically.
"Sorry, but don't you want to face your fear?" Rachel asked, following Kurt as he began walking down the stairs, leaving everyone else to take the elevator.
"No."
"Well, why not?"
"Why should I?"
"Don't you want to beat out your fear? And feel accomplished?" Rachel asked. She could be really stubborn sometimes, as could Kurt.
"Not particularly" Kurt said.
"I think you should and as your best friend, I want to help you!" Rachel said.
Kurt paused and turned to face Rachel. "I know you intentions are good and I thank you for it, but I'm perfectly content with taking the stairs. But I'll make you a deal. If I'm ever ready to take the elevator, I'll be sure to ride it with you!"
"Really? Okay!" Rachel smiled. She clapped her hands. "I'm going to hug you now!" She threw her arms around Kurt, who hugged her back. After a moment, they walked down the rest of the stairs. The others were already in the lobby.
"How did persuading Kurt to take the elevator go?" Blaine asked with a chuckle when he saw Kurt and Rachel.
"Great!" Rachel said. "He agreed that if he wants to ever ride the elevator, I will be there with him!"
"What? You gave my job to Rachel?" Blaine gasped, looking offended.
"Sorry" Kurt laughed and hugged both Rachel and Blaine. "I love you guys!"
"Charming" Santana said as they all walked to the dining room that smelled like toast and coffee.
Breakfast was going great. They all sat scattered around the many tables. They decided not to push the several square tables together this morning and just eat separately instead. They were all eating and talking and laughing like normal. Mercedes was listing the top ten places that made the best waffles and Blaine was talking to Finn about football and Brittany was talking to Rachel about her cat. Simple and random conversation like that. Nothing new, nothing out of the ordinary. The drama started only a few minutes later. Cam and Jess came into the dining room in a hurry.
"Oh, good we found you!" Cam said, seeing the members of New Direction all in the room.
"Hey Cam" Artie said, his tone a bit cold, but it went unnoticed by Cam and Jess.
"Um, can we talk to you guys in the ballroom? It's kinda important" Jess asked.
Will stood up from the table in the corner where he sat with Emma, Shelby and Shannon. "Shall I come too?"
Cam and Jess froze and stared at Will with odd confused frowns on their faces.
"Um...no" Cam finally stuttered.
"Okay" Will said and sat back down.
New Directions all stood up, leaving their plates of half eaten food on the tables.
"Do you know that guy?" Cam leaned over and whispered to Jess.
"Nope. I was gonna ask you the same thing" Jess replied. She and Cam smiled awkwardly to New Directions, who followed them out of the dining room and to the lobby.
"Do you guys know that man?" Cam asked Rachel.
"In the dining room? Yeah, that's Mr. Schuster, our teacher" Rachel said.
"Oh, okay" Cam laughed. "We had no idea!"
They followed Jess and Cam across the lobby to the ballroom, where the rest of Phat Lady sat on the stage. Kaylee sat in the middle with her head hung low. She looked up as Cam, Jess and New Directions all walked in.
"What's going on?" Sugar asked as Kaylee hopped on the floor and stood in front of the rival glee club.
"I called you guys here today" Kaylee began with wide eyes "To apologize."
Santana rolled her eyes, not believing a single word Kaylee uttered.
"We've been, well, I've been really mean to you all. I was jealous of your talent and saw you as a threat to our goal of winning Nationals. I was rude, pushy, mean and more. I know it's kinda late, but I'm really, really sorry for everything I did" Kaylee said.
"And why would we believe you?" Quinn asked.
"For all we know, it could just a set up" Santana said.
"It's not!" Kaylee said. "I swear. I have no tricks or anything planned. This is just me saying how truly sorry I am."
No one spoke. It was just New Directions staring at Kaylee, trying to figure out if she was lying or not. Kaylee stared at them with earnest eyes.
"What about the rest of you?" Mercedes asked after a moment. She looked at the rest of Phat Lady, who were silent and sullen.
"Yeah, are you in on the scheme?" Sam questioned.
"It's not a scheme" Cam said. "She really means it."
They looked at Kaylee.
"I can't make you believe me" Kaylee said. "I just wanted to tell you that it is truthful, despite what you may think."
"Can we have a moment?" Rachel asked and New Directions took a step back and huddled together.
"They can probably hear us" Puck whispered.
"Probably" Rory nodded.
"Who believes her?" Kurt asked in a hushed voice.
"I do" Finn said.
"Same" Brittany said.
"Well, I don't" Quinn said. "I don't care what she says."
"Let's make his quick. If you are willing to forgive Kaylee, say 'aye'" Rachel said.
Finn, Brittany, Sam, Mercedes, Sugar, Mike, Artie, Tina, Rachel, Kurt and Blaine say 'Aye!'
"So you four don't?" Mike asked Puck, Santana, Quinn and Rory, who didn't respond.
"No" Quinn said firmly with a swift head shake.
"I think she's faking" Santana said. "She's been to cruel to just change over one night."
"She has a point" Puck said.
"Well, it's 11 to 4. I say we just forgive her to end the feud and possibly take what's coming if it's false" Blaine suggested.
"I agree" Rachel nodded. "We don't have much to lose."
"Fine" Quinn sighed. "But don't say I didn't warn you."
New Directions broke their huddle and faced Phat Lady.
"We forgive you" Finn said finally.
Kaylee's face lit up. "Really?"
"Yeah. You seem honest enough" Rachel said. "And to be honest, I think we were jealous of you guys too. Kaylee, you have a great voice!"
"Thank you so much" Kaylee said, smiling. It wasn't a smirk or a snobby smile that she normally gave them. It was a real, genuine smile.
"So are we all cool now?" Cam asked with a smile.
Quinn nodded. "Yeah, I guess we are."
"Group hug time!" Sam shouted and both groups came together in one very large hug, with Kaylee squished in the middle of it.
"What was that about?" Will asked them as New Directions all walked back into the dining room to finish breakfast.
"You'll be pleased to know that the fight is over" Rachel said.
"What...fight?" Will asked slowly.
"The one between us and Phat Lady" Rachel sighed. "It's over. Or so we think."
"Oh, yes, that fight" Will said. "Glad to know you settled your differences."
They smiled and finished their now-cold breakfast.
"Hurry up and finish eating" Coach Beiste said. "So we can go to Fun Spot!"
"Oh, yeah!" Sugar smiled and clapped her hands.
