In all of her life Rachel had never laughed so much, she had met two young women who really brought out something in her that she hadn't felt in a long time. Santana was extremely outspoken, no matter what the situation she was going to say what was on her mind and what was on her mind was usually dirty or rude. Some people aboard the ship wouldn't appreciate the way she spoke but Rachel found it hilarious, she was so used to stuffy old rich people that she forgot how funny the rest of the world was. And then there was Quinn, she was Irish which made her voice so easy to listen to and her jokes were hilarious, Rachel couldn't believe that somebody her age with a child of their own could still be so enthusiastic about life; it was incredible.

They were sat in the ships recreational room having a not so quiet art lesson. You could tell from the looks that the people around the three girls weren't too impressed with the hysterical laughter that kept erupting from them.

"Wow ok, so these people really hate us"

Laughed Rachel as she listened to the tutting that was coming from the rest of the people in the class, most of them snooty rich kids that clearly had no intention of making friends.

"Who gives a crap?"

Santana said as the three girls continued to hiss with laughter.

"That's what I hate about having money... with these people its money over personality. Why can't we have it both ways?!"

Asked Quinn as she fiddled around with her paintbrush on the canvas, she had no idea as of yet what she was meant to be painting but the colours were kind of pretty.

"Because in this world money and popularity are the most important things in life. Nobody gives a tiny rat's ass about passion or aspirations. The only goal in life is to get more money."

Santana had a strong point of view but she was only really looking at what money meant to her parents. They didn't care about what Santana really wanted to do in life, they only cared for themselves. Rachel, being fiercely independent spoke up.

"Well that's not always true. My family has a lot of money but I'm still going to NYADA this fall. And My parents strongly support me through the whole thing. But then again from the moment that I could talk I knew I was going to be a star."

Quinn smiled, she liked that Rachel had aspirations, it was admirable to see. Santana froze when she heard the word NYADA. New York Academy of Dramatic Arts was something that she could only ever dream of, it was a place where people like her belonged and she really did long for the experience.

"You're going to NYADA? Wow... they say you can't choose your parents but if you could? I want yours!"

She exclaimed as she thought about how cool Rachel's parents must be to let her go to a school of her choosing. She wondered what it was like to have a family that loved and supported their children instead of forcing them to pursue what they would never have a passion for.

"I am! And aw, my dad's are great. I wouldn't change them for the world." she smiled, she couldn't help but think about her father's for a second, they were such a great couple and they were both fantastic parents. She was lucky to have them.

"So Quinn, what's it like being a mom? If you don't mind me asking." Rachel politely asked to the blonde haired girl sat next to her.

"She's a beautiful kid." Interrupted Santana, it only made Quinn smile.

"Thank you Santana. And well Rachel, it's challenging... I don't recommend teen pregnancy but I wouldn't change my baby for the world. she's heavenly, I mean she's one of the most well behaved children I've ever known. It's difficult raising her by myself but I have the help of my parents and as long as she's in my life I've got a reason to stay strong and be a good parent myself." Quinn replied, she really didn't love anything else in the world as much as she loved her daughter.

"So what about the Father?" Asked Santana as Rachel remained silent. It was a personal question but Quinn didn't seem to mind.

"He's not in the picture. He was my boyfriend in secondary school but it turns out he really wasn't a nice guy. Not the type of man that Beth needs as a father. When he found out that I was pregnant he tried to get me to have an abortion and when I refused he... well he threw me down his stairs. I was in hospital for a while, broke my arm... but yeah he's never seen Beth... and he's never wanted to."

Rachel looked genuinely hurt; she couldn't believe that somebody could be like that, especially towards a pregnant woman. She didn't know Quinn too well but she knew her enough to know that neither her or Beth deserved a coward like that.

"What an asshole." Santana replied. If she knew one thing it was that she hated guys like that, there was no excuse for them acting so sick and damn right disrespectful. And she liked Quinn, she didn't want her being in a relationship with some dick who's afraid of being a father.

"Yeah he's a real piece of work."

The art class finished and the girls spent the rest of the day together before heading back to their cabins. It was nice for them all to finally meet somebody their age that they found friendship in on the ship. It made the time on board a little less lonely. Before they headed in their separate ways they decided that they would meet up in the evening and explore the ship a little more.

"But what about Beth?!"

Rachel cried as she realized Quinn had agreed to spend the evening with them, obviously she couldn't bring her baby with her.

"Well there's childcare onboard, they have these nannies that will spend the evening in your cabin with the kids until you return back... I looked it up before we boarded in Ireland."

"Well that's awesome. I'm surprised that my parents didn't hire one of those nannies for me... they treat me like a two year old." Said Santana, it was true. They treated her as if she was her shoe size and not her age.

"Ha, same age as Beth."

Quinn winked and the other two girls laughed. So it was settled, they would all meet outside Quinn's cabin after dinner and they would go on an adventure. When they agreed on the adventure they had no idea what they were getting themselves into, they didn't expect what was going to happen and they had no clue that one night, one adventure on one ship could change their lives. They would find that out later.
