"So," ariel asked taking rachels hand.
After the 2nd fight theyd dropped Melissa off at her house. They were walking from the house to rachels car.
"What do you want to do?"
Ariel smiled at Rachel.
"Well…..I'm still hungry and my dads are probably making vegan lasagna for dinner if you're in," Rachel said.
Ariel shuddered; "ugh I hate lasagna."
Rachel looked at her; "really? Why?"
"It's so weird. With the layers? Omygod."
"Oh. Well how do you feel about fish?"
"Oh I won't eat fish. I won't eat any sea creature."
That's right you love water, Rachel thought.
"What about, mac and cheese?" she asked.
"Oh that's fine," Ariel answered.
"Ok mac and cheese it is then."
"But wait," Ariel asked as they climbed in the white car, "if you're vegan why do you eat fish?"
"Oh I don't they do sometimes."
"Ok."
They closed and locked the doors and clocked their seatbelts on.
"So what are they like?" Ariel asked as Rachel began driving.
"Oh they're supernice you'll love them and they'll probably love you. I mean how could anyone not you're so cute."
"Oh well thanks."
"Of course."
As Rachel drove Ariel thought about the day. It had been her first glee club rehearsal. Her first time meeting everyone in the club except Ashley and April. They'd been her firsts. Rachel was her second and she apparently was Rachel's second. After the craziness they'd gone through the last few hours she hadn't wanted to invite Rachel over to her house with her 3 sisters. Which wasn't exactly crazy just busy. She hoped Rachel's would be quieter. She also hoped Brittany and Tina were ok.
It was hard to imagine Rachel's dads being nice since during rehearsal she'd spit out criticisms and corrected people on their dancing thought hadn't done so with Ariel.
Which Ariel wondered about.
"Hey," she began.
"Yeah?" Rachel asked.
"Why didn't you criticize me?"
"Because I want you to like me."
"I do like you."
"Yeah but that's only because you barely know me."
"Oh."
Ashley was the blonde in pink who'd sat next to santanna. And April the brunette in white who'd sat next to Cory.
"You have such a pretty voice," Rachel told Ariel.
"Thanks."
"You sound just like…."
"Jodi Benson? Yeah my sisters have told me the same thing. I was born the same day as her."
"Oh. How many?"
"3."
"What are they like?"
"They're all pretty much like me."
"Are they as pretty as you?"
"Well….I'll let you be the judge on that when you meet them."
"Oh. Ok," Rachel seemed satisified with this answer.
"Yeah I was going to invite you over but my house would've been busier and I don't think you, we, needed that."
"Well honey, we can relax at my place. After all we're having mac and cheese."
Ariel was warmed by the term of endearment.
"Yeah I know. Yum comfort food my favorite."
"I think they're everyone's favorite."
They laughed.
"How's the eye?" Ariel asked.
"Still hurts a little," Rachel answered honestly partially because it did and partially because she wanted to be taken care of after the day shed had.
"Ok after dinner we'll get some ice right on that."
Rachel smiled sweetly; "thanks."
"Sure."
