On a gloomy Tuesday morning, Shelby and Cassie snuggled up together in bed, enjoying the warmth of the blankets and each other's company. As they lay there, Cassie couldn't help but glance over at the digital clock on the bedside table. The bright red numbers displayed 6:15 am, indicating that it was still early in the morning and the day had just begun. The sound of rain tapping against the windowpane provided a soothing rhythm, and the two lovers felt content in each other's embrace.
Cassie turned to her wife, hoping for any news about the ongoing search for Rachel's parents. "Hey, do you have any updates from the lawyer?" she asked. Shelby took a quick glance at her phone and shook her head, "No missed calls or messages from them yet," she replied.
Rachel was sound asleep when her alarm clock started ringing, but she groggily reached out to hit the snooze button and remained snuggled up in bed. A few moments later, Shelby walked into the room and approached Rachel's side, reminding her that she needed to get up and take a shower before joining her for breakfast downstairs in just thirty minutes.
Rachel grumbled about the dreary weather outside and expressed her desire to stay in bed for just five more minutes. However, Shelby was having none of it and sternly demanded that Rachel get out of bed right away. She warned Rachel that if she didn't comply, she would have to do extra chores around the house and wouldn't be allowed to attend the school's Glee club for two weeks.
Rachel sat up in bed, feeling annoyed and frustrated. She questioned Shelby's authority to make such decisions and reminded her that she didn't have any rights to impose such punishments. However, Shelby stood her ground and insisted that Rachel needed to get up and start her day, regardless of the weather or her mood.
Shelby then added her thoughts on the matter, "Honestly, I think Rachel's life is much better without her fathers. They have caused her more harm than good, and I'm glad we're taking steps to protect her." Cassie nodded in agreement, grateful for Shelby's unwavering support.
After a moment of silence, Shelby got up from the bed and announced, "I'm going to go wake up Rachel. I know on rainy days, the other girls can be tough to get up." Cassie smiled, feeling lucky to have such a thoughtful and caring partner.

However, Shelby stood her ground and insisted that Rachel needed to get up and start her day, regardless of the weather or her mood.
Feeling agitated, Rachel sat up in bed, her mind racing with thoughts and emotions. She knew that she had to get up and start her day, but she couldn't shake off the feeling of resentment towards Shelby. She snapped at Shelby, telling her that she would get up, but she wasn't happy about it. Rachel grabbed her clothes and headed to the bathroom, which she shared with Quinn and Kitty.
As Rachel got ready, Shelby reminded her to watch her tone before it gave her a reason to punish her before school. Rachel felt even more frustrated, but she knew that she had to keep her emotions in check if she wanted to avoid any further problems. She finished getting ready and headed out to start her day, still feeling annoyed and resentful towards Shelby.
Shelby went back to her bedroom to get dressed for the day ahead. She quickly brushed her teeth and washed her face before heading to her room to pick out her outfit. After browsing through her closet for a few minutes, she finally decided on a cute summer dress and some sandals. She took her time to do her hair and makeup before grabbing her bag and heading downstairs.
As she descended the stairs, she could smell the aroma of a delicious breakfast that Cassie was preparing in the kitchen. Cassie was humming a tune as she sliced some fresh fruits for a fruit salad. The colorful fruits looked so fresh and ripe that Shelby's mouth watered. Cassie then moved on to making oatmeal, carefully measuring the ingredients to make sure it was perfect. Shelby could see that Cassie was in her element, and she couldn't help but feel grateful for all the hard work she put in to make sure her family was well-fed.
As Cassie served up the breakfast, Rachel came down and greeted her with a warm "good morning". She sat down on the stool and waited for her food. Meanwhile, Shelby went back upstairs to wake up her three grumpy teenage sisters. She knocked on their doors and told them to take their showers and get dressed quickly so that they could be taken to school on time. As the girls got ready, the aroma of the freshly cooked breakfast filled the house, bringing a smile to everyone's face.
As the morning sun filled the room with its warm glow, everyone sat around the dining table, quietly enjoying their delicious breakfast. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the tangy zest of orange juice filled the air. Each person savored every bite of their meal, relishing the taste and texture of the delectable spread before them. The only sounds that could be heard were the gentle clinking of utensils against plates and the occasional sip of coffee. It was a peaceful and serene moment, and everyone seemed content and relaxed.
The morning was peaceful as everyone at the table quietly savored their breakfast and sipped their orange juice and coffee. Rachel and Quinn took charge of clearing the table, as it was their turn, while the rest of the group engaged in light conversation. After finishing their meal, Shelby kindly offered to take Rachel to school, while Cassie graciously took charge of driving Santana, Kitty, and Quinn to Carmel High School.
During her last-period history class, Rachel's regular teacher was out sick, and Holly Holiday substituted for her. Holly was a strict teacher who was known for maintaining discipline in the classroom. She informed the students that she would be giving them a surprise pop quiz on the lesson their regular teacher had gone over with them.
Upon hearing this news, Rachel became annoyed and expressed her concern about not being prepared to take the quiz. She was a diligent student who always prepared herself before any quiz or exam. However, Holly reminded her that since Mrs. Sanders had already covered the assignment, she would have to take the quiz like the rest of her classmates.
Holly, the teacher, was in the middle of distributing papers for a pop quiz when Rachel, one of her students, spoke up. Rachel's voice was firm and her expression showed that she was not going to back down. "I'm not going to participate in this assignment, Miss Holiday," she said. Holly had already sensed Rachel's reluctance and was prepared for this. She replied sternly, "Rachel, I'm not going to keep arguing with you about this assignment because you're disrupting this class, and it isn't fair to them because you decided that today will be the day you don't want to do anything."
Rachel felt embarrassed and frustrated. She knew that her classmates were watching her and she didn't want to create a scene. However, her anxiety and stress levels were high, and she found it hard to concentrate. She sat there feeling overwhelmed and unable to focus.
As Holly continued distributing papers, Rachel's agitation grew. In the end, she couldn't handle the pressure and got up from her seat. She walked out of the classroom, ignoring Miss. Holiday's yelling for her to come back.
Miss. Holiday quickly instructed the rest of the students to start on their next assignment while she stepped out of the classroom to catch up to Rachel in the hallway. She found Rachel looking upset and disoriented. Holly told Rachel that she needed to go to the office and talk to Principal Figgins.
Principal Figgins was surprised to see Rachel Berry in his office. Miss. Holiday explained that Rachel refused to participate in class because her teacher wasn't there and she walked out in the middle of the pop quiz. The principal listened to Rachel's side of the story and then took appropriate action to resolve the issue.
Rachel explained during the meeting that she wasn't in the mood to take the quiz as she felt she hadn't prepared well enough for it. However, Principal Figgins pointed out that there are no excuses for not doing assigned work, especially when it is due to a lack of preparation. He expressed his disappointment in Rachel's behavior, as he didn't expect her to be one of the students who refuse to listen to their teachers.
Principal Figgins went on to explain that just because one is out sick for the rest of the week doesn't mean they don't have to listen to their teacher. He emphasized that teachers deserve respect just like students should give to other teachers. As a consequence of Rachel's behavior, Principal Figgins decided to give her a two-day detention in Miss. Holiday's classroom later that week.
Rachel objected, stating that she would not be doing the two-day detention. However, Principal Figgins reminded her that she should have thought about it before walking out of the classroom in the middle of the quiz. He also made it clear that Rachel was lucky he didn't call her parents to report her behavior. He instructed her to go back to her classroom and warned her not to come back to his office again that day.
Rachel left the principal's office feeling angry. Miss. Holiday handed her the detention slip to give to her parents to sign, but Rachel put it in her baggy. She went back to her class and finished the test, but the bell rang, signaling the end of the school day.
Shelby pick up Rachel from school while Cassie took Santana, Kitty, and Quinn home and instructed them to do their homework at the kitchen table. The girls talked about their homework while they completed it.
Shelby was driving Rachel home when she decided to apologize for her behavior that morning. Rachel accepted her apology gracefully and they continued their journey. As they pulled up to the house, Rachel handed Shelby a detention slip, causing Shelby to be curious. Shelby asked Rachel what it was for, as she knew Rachel never got detention before.
Rachel explained that she had received detention for two days because she had talked back to Miss. Holiday during class. She was feeling frustrated as she hadn't studied for her test, and when the teacher asked her a question, she reacted impulsively and walked out of the classroom. This led to her being sent to Figgins's office and receiving a detention slip.
Shelby reminded Rachel that there are no excuses for bad behavior, and that it's important to take responsibility for one's actions and make things right. She took Rachel's arm and walked her inside the house, emphasizing that it was important to learn from mistakes and move forward.
Suddenly, Rachel noticed Cassie walking into the room, looking shocked. Rachel apologized to Cassie and Shelby for her behavior earlier and assured them that it wouldn't happen again. Cassie then grounded Rachel for two weeks and asked her to hand over her cellphone. Shelby agreed while Rachel passed her phone to Shelby, who put it in her purse so she could start on her lesson. Shelby thanked Rachel and promised to check it later.
As Rachel walked into the kitchen, she sat down beside Quinn to begin her homework. Quinn noticed a worried look on Rachel's face and asked if everything was okay. Rachel replied that she was fine, but still feeling guilty about her actions earlier in the day. Quinn reassured her that everyone makes mistakes and it's important to learn from them and move forward.
Santana and Kitty agreed with Quinn, and they all smiled at Rachel, making her feel better. They continued working on their homework while Shelby walked in to check on them. She noticed the happy atmosphere and decided to make them a snack. As they finished up their homework, Cassie and Shelby started cooking dinner, giving the teenagers a chance to relax and unwind after a long day.
At 6:30pm, the group of teenagers sat down to enjoy their delicious dinner, which consisted of tofu lasagna and sweet corn, accompanied by a refreshing glass of lemonade. The aroma of the food filled the room, as they eagerly took their seats at the table. As they ate, they engaged in lively conversation, catching up on each other's days and discussing various topics of interest.
Once they had finished their meal, it was time for Quinn and Rachel to take care of their assigned chore for the day – washing the dishes. The sound of running water and clanging dishes filled the kitchen as they worked together to get the job done. Meanwhile, Santana took charge of straightening out the front room, making sure everything was in its place, while Kitty tackled the den, vacuuming and dusting every nook and cranny.
As the night wore on, the teenagers gathered in Quinn and Rachel's room to discuss their plans for Carmen's party, which was coming up over the weekend. They talked about what they were going to wear, the music they were going to play, and how they were going to make sure everyone had a great time. Rachel agreed to be their lookout during the event, ensuring that everyone had a great time while staying safe.
As the clock ticked closer to 10 pm, Kitty and Santana headed off to their respective bedrooms to prepare for bed. Before tucking them in, Shelby and Cassie made sure to tell each girl goodnight and express their love, giving them a sweet goodnight kiss. Shelby also informed Rachel that she had put her detention slip in her backpack, reminding her to turn it in the next day. The girls drifted off to sleep, feeling loved and cared for.
