Glee | TSIS: The Pay in Payback | Rachel & Quinn (4 of 7)
Started my daily ficlets to make the hiatus pass, then decided to keep going with a 2nd cycle, and then a 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th cycle. Now cycle 11!
After the 10th installment of the Sunshine Girls series, with the revelation, I figured I'd need something big to kick of the next chapter in this whole storyline. So this translated into... a seven-chapter story! Enjoy! :)
Today: Chapter 4
"THE SHINE IN SUNSHINE: THE PAY IN PAYBACK"
Rachel & Quinn
Sunshine Girls Series #11.4
After Glee practice, Rachel had looked across the way, to Quinn. They’d gone and sat on opposite ends of the room, hoping to evade questions from the others. That worked about as well as could be expected. Any chance there was, a whispered question would come along. They ignored it for a while, but the longer this went, the more quietly aggravated they became. They were not paying attention to what Mr. Schuester was going on about anymore. On either end, the chatter was buzzing louder and louder into their ears, and at once they burst…
“Stop it!” Rachel turned to Kurt and Mercedes, who smirked and sat back.
“Back off!” Quinn turned to Santana, who frowned but did not waver.
“Rachel, Quinn…” They looked back to Mr. Schuester, hesitating whether to sit back up like nothing had happened, or staying as they were. “Is something wrong? Or did you want to volunteer as the first team?” Both of them froze, realizing they had no idea what he’d been going on about. He nodded at this realization and was about to move on, when Quinn had an idea, and she sat up, looking to Will.
“Yes, we do.”
“We do?” Rachel blurted out, just as confused as the others if not more. She looked to Quinn. The blonde looked back and mouthed a word Rachel finally recognized as ‘payback.’ This gave them the chance to work on their plan, and their Glee assignment as well, which would be harder to do if they had to split their time with whatever other partner they would have gotten. So she looked back to Will. “We do,” she repeated. The questions silenced. When they got up to leave at the end of practice, Rachel went up to Quinn.
“I still don’t know what we’re doing,” Quinn admitted.
“I got it,” she promised, getting a nod from her partner. They paused, looking around to see the rest of the room was clearing. “This is fine, I’ve already got enough ideas in my head to…” The last of the others had finally cleared the doors. “So how do we get Jacob?” She looked back to Quinn, who smirked.
“Do you really have all those ideas already?” Rachel shrugged, as though to say ‘of course.’ “Okay, I trust you,” she nodded along, which got her smiling. “Come on, we probably shouldn’t do this here.”
“The assignment?” Rachel asked, still locked into their previous topic. She realized her misstep just as Quinn looked back at her. Rachel smirked awkwardly and grabbed her bag. “Let’s go.”
Dad and Pop’s open offer for Quinn to return to the Berry home had been given only one day before. They hadn’t expected for the girls to be there together for the second day in a row. The mood was different, though the fathers couldn’t know why… the girls were hardly realizing it themselves.
They came to sit in Rachel’s room, where the conversation had easily turned on to ‘dealings with Jacob.’ They could hardly have any success at one-upping one another, as Rachel would always win. The way she had it, his attentions had been trained on her for more time than she could remember.
“In third grade, he would ask to smell my hair,” she recalled, feeling that shudder return as Quinn chuckled.
“I guess the rest of us get it easy,” she teased playfully, and Rachel nodded in earnest agreement.
“I just want to make him squirm… But how I do that without…” she started gesturing, and just crept herself out in the process. Quinn nodded knowingly, sitting up.
“No, no, you don’t even need to get close, not with him. You keep your distance, just always there, give him that silent kind of look,” she demonstrated. “Keep the promise of something happening,” she nodded. “He’ll do all the work for us, and all we have to do is watch.” Rachel nodded approvingly.
“I can get on board with that.” Quinn agreed quietly, as they found their planning had come together a lot faster than they thought it would. This left them gathered there and, with nothing in their way, Rachel explained to her the assignment they’d volunteered themselves to work up together. They worked it out, with Rachel’s ideas. Quinn trusted her in that capacity, and it paid off.
Quinn stayed for yet another dinner at the Berry home. Pop and Dad were thrilled, which got a laugh out of their guest. She was remembering more and more all the times she’d spent in their presence as a child.
They parted ways after dinner, knowing the next day would be the start of their revenge.
