Summary: AU. Rachel learns to see from someone who can't.
Rachel closes the door of her locker and screams when she sees Sue Sylvester standing extremely close to her. “Listen here Liza. She might be trying to hide it from me, but I know that Q has been hanging out with you. I’ll continue to condone it as long as you don’t harm her in any way. If I find out you’ve hurt her, I’ll make sure all your dreams come true, and then I’ll sneak into your house and feed you crushed Broadway memorabilia.” With a gaping mouth, Rachel watches as Sue stalks down the hall and out of sight.
She turns when she hears light snickering. Santana and Brittany are standing next to her. Brittany looks confused. “Who’s Liza?” Santana wraps an arm around her waist. “No one babe. Seriously though Berry. What’s up with you and Quinn?”
Rachel tilts her head to hide her blush. She starts walking towards Spanish class with Santana and Brittany in tow. “Nothing is up. We’re just working on Glee together. Quinn has needed some help catching up.”
Santana snorts. “Yeah sure. Anyone who’s seen her play would never believe she needs help with it. What’s going on?”
Rachel opens her mouth to respond, but Brittany beats her to it. “They’re just spending time together. People who like each other do that don’t they S? We do.”
Rachel and Santana both blush. When Santana realizes what Brittany said, a devious grin appears on her face. “No way. You have a crush on her.”
Rachel stutters, “No-no. It’s not like that. I’ll admit that I find her musical abilities very attractive, but I don’t like her like that.”
Brittany interjects, “Then why are you always staring at her? You look at her the way Puck looks at dip during lunch.”
Rachel buries her face in her hands. “Am I that obvious? She’s just so pretty!” Brittany and Santana have to grab her arms and steer her to the right so she doesn’t end up falling head first into a trash can.
Brittany hugs her. “Oh it’s not that obvious. I’m just omnipotent.”
There is a slight pause before Santana says. “Yeah Britt’s just observant.”
Brittany tilts her head and pointedly says, “Well I’ve observed that Quinn pays extra attention to you. When we’re singing, she always tilts her head towards you to listen to you. Oh! Santana we have to set them up!”
Santana nods in agreement. “Yeah. Maybe Coach will be easier on Glee if her niece starts dating the head Gleek.”
Rachel squeaks in indignation, “Hey! Don’t I get a say in this? And I am not head Gleek!” She acquiesces when both Brittany and Santana shoot her the same look. “Okay maybe I am. But what if she doesn’t like me? I don’t want to lose a friend just because Brittany says she’s ‘observant.’”
Santana and Brittany both wrap their arms around her. Santana says, “It’s okay Rachel. We’ve got this. When we’re done, Quinn Fabray won’t remember what it was like to not love you.”
They start to drag her towards the student parking lot. “What? Where are you taking me? We have class you know!”
Santana smirks. “Not today.”
-------------------
“Perfect. You’re a miracle worker.” Santana, Brittany, and Kurt stand in a circle around Rachel. She is sitting completely changed, looking gorgeous in a little black dress. Kurt’s hands are covered in makeup and hair product but he has a satisfied smile on his face.
Rachel pouts. “A miracle Santana? Really? I know you might think I’m repulsive, but I have on good authority that I’m actually quite attractive.”
Kurt scoffs. “Ha. Who in their right mind would say that? I mean you have a mildly pretty face, but your fashion sense is absolutely atrocious. The outfit you wore yesterday looked like regurgitated cat vomit.”
Rachel looks scandalized. “I was wearing my favorite sweater yesterday!”
Kurt smirks. “Exactly. Anyways. What was this makeover for anyways? I’m all for charity work but I have a feeling there was a reason for this madness.”
Brittany jumps up and down excitedly. “We’re making her pretty for Quinn.”
“Oh? That’s interesting. Rachel Berry a lesbian? I thought you were in love with Finn. Though I suppose there are worse choices than Quinn Fabray.”
Rachel shakes her head. “I’ll admit I was slightly infatuated with Finn for a short while but only because he has leading man potential. He’s not the person I thought he was.”
Kurt laughs. “And Quinn has leading man potential? I’ll admit she’s an amazing piano player.”
Santana agrees, “Especially with her condition.”
“Condition? What condition?”
Brittany responds, “Don’t you know? She’s blind. How come no one knows?”
Kurt cocks his eyebrow. “Really? So she’s like a white girl Ray Charles? Interesting. Why did we have to give Rachel a makeover? Quinn won’t be able to see it.”
Santana responds, “It’s the thought that counts. And besides we can tell Q how hot Berry looks.” When Brittany shoots her a hurt look, Santana adds, “Not as hot as you though B. Never as hot.”
Rachel coos when Brittany leans in to give Santana a sweet kiss. “You two are so adorable!”
Brittany smiles as Santana frowns. “Don’t worry S. You’re still a badass.” She presses another kiss to Santana’s cheek.
Santana tries to hide a pleased smile. “Hell yes I am. Let’s go. Coach told us to pick Quinn up in an hour. It’s almost time to go.”
As he ushers them out the door, Kurt says, “Don’t forget what I said about being lame Rachel. Don’t be.”
-------------------
The car pulls up to a nice looking house in a pretty neighborhood. Rachel notes that the house is only a block from her own. They walk up the path to the house and Rachel bounces nervously as they ring the doorbell.
The door swings open and Rachel’s breath catches when she sees Quinn standing in the doorway. “Hi Quinn.” She blushes when she hears the breathy sound of her voice. She glares when she sees Santana snickering.
“Hey guys. Let’s go.” Quinn steps forward, closing the door behind her. Brittany hooks her arm through her elbow and pulls Quinn towards the car. Rachel turns when she hears a rapping noise. She flinches when she sees Sue Sylvester standing behind a window in one of her legendary track suits. Sue makes a cutting gesture across her throat and points at Quinn. Rachel nods and scurries towards the car.
