Once I found out Quinn used to be Lucy I had to do this. I own nothing...
"I got something for you," The boy with the dirty blond hair said the girl with the frizzy brown hair. The two kids where sitting on the porch of the boys house, a moving van outside.
"What?" The girl asked. He pulled out a ring from his pocket.
"Are you purposing to me?" the girl said with wide eyes.
"No, Luce, we are only 10 years old," The boy said, "I just want you to wear this. and remember when I said I was going to marry you one day. And whenever you miss me, and we both know you will, you can see the ring and think of me." Lucy put the ring on her finger and frowned when she noticed how big it was.
"Its too big Sammy," Lucy said and Sam rolled his eyes.
"Now..." He said and rolled his blue eyes, "But by the time we are grown up it will fit just right, put it on a chain and wear it around your neck till then."
"I am going to miss you so much," Lucy said her big green eyes flooded with tears. Sam put his arm around her and held her as she cried.
"I am going to miss you to Lu-Lu," Sam said into her hair, his eyes glassing over as well. The door opened and Sam's mother appeared.
"Oh Lu-Lu..." She said and hugged the little girl she thought of as a daughter. Lucy held onto Mrs. Evans not waiting to let her go almost as much as Sam. She had been more of a mother to her these past years then Lucy's mother ever was.
"I love you Lu," Mrs. Evans said taking Lucy's face in her hands, "Don't you ever forget it, promise?" Lucy nodded. "That's my pretty girl." Lucy wanted to cry harder. Lucy wasn't pretty. Her nose was too big, her hair never fell right, and she was chubbier then all the other girls. Still Sam and The Evans always called her beautiful. Mrs. Evens hugged Lucy once more before giving the two children another minute, but then they had to leave.
"Even if you loose touch, which I will try my hardest not to," Sam said with his hands on Lucy's shoulder his eyes locked with hers, "You are my best friend in the world." Lucy smiled and nodded, and before she knew it Sam kissed her quickly on the lips. His face turned red right after, and her face was hot as well.
"Your my best friend too," Lucy said and hugged Sam once more before walking down the steps and down the block to her own home holding in tears. What was she going to do without her best friend? Face middle school alone? Lucy couldn't help but look back, but the van was already gone.
Quinn Fabray played with the ring on her right ring finger as she pretended to listen to Rachel and Finn sing. Her lips formed a ghost of a smile. Still after all these years she still thought of Sam every time she looked at the ring. Quinn had worn it around her neck until finally the time came when it fit on her finger. Unfortunately Sam and herself had lost touch. He had moved three states over and then she moved, and some how they were never able to connect again. The clapping snapped her out of her daze. She looked up and Puck winked at her. Quinn took a deep breath. Puck and her had been flirting a lot lately, despite the fact that her boyfriend was his best friend. It was wrong, but she was just having a little fun. Quinn always had to be so perfect all the time. Perfect daughter, perfect student, prefect Cheerio, perfect girlfriend, and being perfect really sucked sometimes. But it is what she had been working on for three years. Lucy Caboosey was her past, she was Quinn now. Beautiful, perfect, Quinn.
"Oh, sorry..." A voice said from the doorway, "I think I am in the wrong classroom."
"Its alright," Mr. Schue said, "Come on in." Quinn was not looking, and had went back to playing with her ring.
"Yeah so I am trying to find the library," The voice said, a male voice, "Its my free period so..." his voice trailed off. Quinn felt someone sit next to her, she looked and saw that Finn was now sitting next to her, his arm draped around the back of her chair. Quinn was now staring at her nailing debating wither or not to get a manicure after school when she heard "Lucy?"
Her body froze in fear. Was it someone from her old school? How could they even have recognize her? Quinn had gone to great lengths to reinvent herself, and now it can all be ruined by one simple word. She kept her head down hoping the person would think they had just got it wrong and move on.
"Lu-Lu?" The voice said again. Quinn's head snapped up. Only two people in the world called her that, and their last names were both Evans. His hair was now full on blond rather then dirty blond. He was taller, obviously built, and his mouth was even bigger if that were even possible. His mouth was in a full on grin and soon Quinn jumped out of her seat into Sam's arms. He spun her around twice before setting her down.
"Lucy!" Sam said keeping his hand on her arm, "You look amazing, not that you weren't beautiful before of course! A cheerleader? Wow!"
"Sammy!" Quinn said and had a smile on her face none of the Glee kids had seen before, "I can't believe you are here!" Lucy threw her arms around him again and held him tight. He still smelled the same even after six years.
"We drove past your old house on the way here," Sam said keeping both of her hands in his, "But they said you moved out about three years ago! No wonder you didn't get my letters."
"You apparently didn't get mine because I told you I was moving." Quinn said. The two of them seemed to be in their own world not noticed that anyone was around them until a cough brought them back.
"Well it appears you are acquainted with Quinn here," Mr. Schuester said with a smile.
"Quinn?" Sam said confused, "Why are you going by your middle name?" Quinn looked at him as if to send a message. I will tell you later just go with it. "I am not surprised, you hated the name Lucy anyway." Sam continued smoothly covering it up.
"Yep," Quinn said, "I just didn't want anyone to call me Lu-Lu."
"Sorry, but I will always call you Lu-Lu," Sam said, "So will my mom. Oh hey! You need to come over to dinner tonight! My parents would love to see you, and you haven't even met Stacy yet."
"Stacy?" Quinn said, "You have a sister? I would love..." Then Quinn remembered something, Finn. Her boyfriend. Who she was supposed to be going out with tonight. Quinn looked at Finn who stood up and walked over to them.
"Hi I'm Finn," Finn said putting his hand out, "I am the boyfriend." Sam shook and looked down at Lucy with raised eyebrows.
"Boyfriend?" Sam said and Quinn shrugged. Sam looked back at Finn, "Well we will be having a talk now the two of us, got to make sure you are good enough for my Lucy here. If you let me borrow your girlfriend tonight you will be off to a good start."
"Sure," Finn said with a semi forced smile, "Quinn and I can go out the next night."
"Thanks man," Sam said and gave Finn a pat on the back.
"I am very glad that you are having a reunion here," Rachel spoke up, "But we have work to do so Sammy either join Glee Club or find something else to do."
"Glee Club," Sam said and Quinn nodded.
"He'll join," Quinn said taking his hand and forcing him to sit next to her.
"Doesn't he have to audition?" Puck asked, "All the rest of us had too." Puck didn't like the new guy already. He didn't need another guy competing for Quinn.
"You don't have to," Finn said but secretly wanted him to, especially if Sam was a crappy singer.
"We would always use members," Rachel said, "And if he is bad he can just dance and hum along."
"Actually," Quinn said glaring at Puck, "Sam is a great singer. You don't have to sing Sam."
"It's no problem," Sam said going up to the pianist and other musicians, "I have the perfect song. It's my favorite." He winked at Quinn and she shook her head, but smiled. Sam began to sing.
Picture yourself in a boat on a river, Cellophane flowers of yellow and green, Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies.
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.
Towering over your head.
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes,
And she's gone.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Ah... Ah...
Everyone's eyebrows rose at Sam's choice of song. This song was obviously his favorite only because it was about a girl named "Lucy." The song had seemed innocent enough, but it seemed to have a deep meaning for the two of them. Almost intimate.
Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain, Newspaper taxis appear on the shore,
Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies.
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers,
That grow so incredibly high.
Waiting to take you away.
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds,
And you're gone.
Even though Sam was basically serenading his girlfriend Finn couldn't help but imitate the drums after the verse.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Ah...
The other members started to join in singing in perfect harmony with Sam's voice. He held his hand out for Quinn to take and she took it and he spun her around and began to dance. Kurt and Mercedes too began to spin around the choir room as well. Soon everyone but Rachel and Finn were dancing.
Picture yourself on a train in a station,
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties.
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile,
The girl with kaleidoscope eyes.
As Sam sang to her Quinn's smile couldn't get any bigger. She never realized how much she had missed him these past years. Quinn laughed as he twirled her around again. Sam let go and went over to Rachel and took her hand leading her out on the floor. Quinn took the hint and went over to Finn.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Ah...
The song ended and everyone clapped. Sam looked at Rachel and said, "So am I in?" Rachel smiled and nodded.
"I think there is a spot open for you," Rachel said. Sam smiled at her and Rachel felt her cheeks heating up. Quinn noticed the exchange and couldn't help but narrow her eyes at the petite brunette. First Finn now Sam? There was no way Rachel is stealing Finn from her, and no way in hell is she getting her claws into Sam.
It is a bit sappy, and has been done before, but I got inspiration and have wrote four or five chapters already. I do believe that there is one person out there who can be a friend for life, and can bring out the best in you. I have known one of my best friends literally my whole life.
I love the Sam/Quinn paring too, and if I didn't love the show so much I might boycott it till they get together again. Which might be never the way things are going.
