I don't own Glee.
"What does that have to do with it?" Puck asked a little confused.
"You know what she is like. She could crush me with a well placed word." Quinn said with a sigh.
"Do you a deal. You ask her out on a date and I will fix your football team problem." Puck said standing up and stretching.
"Fine. I will ask her out." Quinn said with a scowl.
"Good. Now get out of my house." Puck said tugging Quinn off the couch and giving her a little shove towards the door.
"Thanks Puck." Quinn said as she got to the door.
"No problem. Make sure you ask her out." Puck waved and closed the door.
Rachel was sitting in the lounge with Santana that afternoon watching a movie. Her dads had gone out to do some shopping of their own leaving the girls to their own devices. The movie they were watching was just ending when Quinn showed back up, letting herself in when she found the door unlocked.
"Got your scratches fixed." Quinn said moving over and handing the keys back to Rachel.
"What? You did?" Rachel frowned looking up at Quinn.
"Yeah. Come see." Quinn said getting up and heading back to the front door, Rachel following behind her.
When they got outside Rachel went over and checked the car and was surprised to find that the scratches were gone. With a grin she turned around and hugged Quinn who chuckled and hugged her back. Rachel held the hug for maybe a minute longer than was 'proper' before she pulled away.
"Thank you Quinn. How much do I owe you?" Rachel asked curiously.
"Rachel, I know I have been pushing your buttons lately." Quinn said changing the subject completely.
"Yes you have." Rachel said getting serious.
"I want to ask you out." Quinn said quickly.
"OK. Ask." Rachel said again seriously.
"Will you go on a date with me?" Quinn asked without hesitation.
"No." Rachel said bluntly.
"What? Why?" Quinn was a little stunned.
"Because I don't know why you of all people would want to go on a date with me." Rachel explained casually.
"Because I like you, why else?" Quinn was getting a little frustrated.
"But why do you like me? Like you said, the last couple of weeks you have been pushing my buttons. Before that we didn't ever spend all that much time together and before we even became friends you hated me. So why do you like me Quinn?" Rachel asked seriously.
"I... Because I do." Quinn said lamely.
"How about this... When you can tell me why you like me, I will agree to go on a date with you." Rachel said reasonably.
"But..."
"No buts, that is the deal. You are welcome to stay for a while if you like we are just watching movies." Rachel said indicating that the conversation was over.
"Uh... no thanks. I will see you at school I guess." Quinn said in a stunned tone as Rachel stepped around her and went back towards the house.
"OK. Thanks again. See you Quinn." Rachel said as she opened the front door.
