Summary: AU. Rachel learns to see from someone who can't.
Three o’clock. School is over and Rachel Berry is opening the door of the music room. She stops halfway through the doorway. There is a beautiful blonde girl playing the piano. Her eyes are shut and her hands are flawlessly flowing over the keys. Rachel’s mouth gapes and she is suddenly flustered. She trips and is sent sprawling over the floor. The music stops abruptly and Rachel shoots upwards. “No! Don’t stop playing!” She flushes when she sees the amused smile on the girl’s face. “I mean hi! I’m Rachel Berry. You’re an amazing piano player.”
The blonde girl smiles in response. Her fingers dance over the keys and a sweet tune rings out. “Thank you. Is it 3:30 already?”
Rachel responds, “Not yet. It’s only three p.m. I’m early to Glee Club. I just wanted to get in some extra practice for a song that we’re doing. I’ve never seen you before. Are you new?”
The girl is still smiling that mysterious smile. “Sort of. I just moved in with my Aunt Sue. I’m not sure where I’m enrolling.” She starts gathering objects scattered on the top of the piano. Rachel notices that the tuner and metronome she was using are top of the line. She also notices the lack of sheets of music. Wait a minute…
Rachel asks incredulously, “Your Aunt Sue? You mean Sue Sylvester? The cheerleading coach?” Rachel gapes. “But you look so sweet! Nothing like-I mean you look so like her.” She blushes from embarrassment.
The blonde giggles. “I know what you mean. Aunt Sue can be a bit intense but she loves me.” She beams and Rachel can see the clear affection in her cloudy grey eyes. Suddenly the door bursts open and the aforementioned Aunt Sue enters.
“Q! Let’s get you out of here before those horrible Glee Clubbers get here.” She doesn’t even look ashamed when she spots Rachel standing by the piano.
Quinn stands up from the bench and hooks her arm around Sue’s. “Shush. Be nice. Rachel here has been nothing but nice.” She gives Rachel a sweet smile. “Thanks for letting me use the piano. Maybe we’ll meet again soon.” She pulls Sue towards the door.
-------------------
Immediately after practice, Rachel dodges Finn and Puck and corners Brittany and Santana in a nearby bathroom.
“Berry? What the hell?!” Santana growls but her face softens when Brittany presses their hands together.
Brittany smiles softly. “What is it Rachel? We’re listening.”
Rachel nods and locks her hands behind her back. “I was wondering if you two could tell me anything about Coach Sylvester’s niece.”
Santana tilts her head. “How do you know about her? I thought Coach only introduced her to the Cheerios.”
“She was in the music room before Glee practice. She is a very good piano player. She plays with the perfect balance of technicality and emotion.” Rachel visualizes the long, pale fingers moving over the keys. She feels the tips of her ears burning and brushes her hair over them. Santana rolls her eyes.
Brittany thinks for a moment before responding, “Well she’s probably coming to school here and if any of us are mean to her than we’ll run suicides until we die.” She nods.
Rachel starts to laugh but stops at the look on Santana’s face. “Well I meant information like her name or her background?”
Santana answers, checking her hair in the mirror, “Her name is Quinn Fabray. Her parents sent her here to stay with the Coach. It’s a shame that she can’t be a Cheerio, she would be perfect for it.”
Rachel frowns, “What do you mean? Why can’t she be a Cheerio?”
Santana and Brittany both stare at her. Brittany speaks, “Don’t you know dummy? She’s blind.”
