Chapter 1:

'A cruise, of all things a cruise,' Rachel thought to herself miserably as she stood at the stern of the ship and watched the water churn and glisten, 'A place where I really have nowhere else to hide and people find me regardless and still verbally put me down,'

The gulls were flying overhead, squawking loudly, not that it irritated her that much.

She let out a sigh as she looked back at the cruise ship.

Don't get her wrong, she was grateful that the Glee Club finally caught a break and that they could have a great bonding experience together on a cruise ship, courtesy of one Sue Sylvester funnily enough, but she still felt alone.

Nationals had come and gone in New York and everyone was still mad at her for her kiss with Finn, even if he did take responsibility for initiating it, they still were mad at her.

"Hey Rach," Finn said as he walked up to her holding a drink in his hand.

"Hey Finn," she sighed back.

"What are doing here at the butt of the ship?"

"The stern,"

"Why are you being stern?"

"No, that's what the back of the ship is called, it's the stern,"

"Oh, right, so what are you doing here?"

"Just thinking,"

"Why? I mean,"

"It's nothing Finn,"

"Why don't you come join us? We're playing the Limbo game with the rest of the cruise,"

Rachel gave him a look.

"I know, I know, my tall limbs and all, but you'll laugh, I hit my head the first couple of times and I toppled over the next," he said trying to make her laugh.

"I'm okay Finn,"

"Look, if this is about Nationals, I'm sorry okay,"

"I know, but I'm not mad at you, no one is,"

"They're not mad at you,"

"Finn, they're all not talking to me, still, not even Tina or Kurt are talking to me anymore,"

"Give them time,"

"I will,"

The two were quiet for a moment.

"Man, aren't you glad Coach Sue got this cruise for us? I mean this is what, super nice of her or something," he said.

"Yeah, she has connections I guess, I just wonder why she did it," Rachel said.

"To be nice maybe,"

"Maybe, but it doesn't add up, wonder if someone blackmailed her to be nice to us,"

"Maybe, it's still cool, this is probably going to be the only time I'll get on a cruise ship,"

"You don't know that,"

"True, but I'm more of a land person, besides, I'm gonna travel by plane, more to see as opposed to the ship where it's nothing but water, water, water,"

Rachel let out a small laugh at that, "Finn, you do know that you see nothing but clouds when you fly right?"

"Well, I meant that on a cruise you're stuck on a ship and you rarely get to go off the ship, when you fly, you like get out of the airport and stuff,"

"I know what you're trying to say,"

"Cool, so, you coming?"

"No, I'm fine here,"

Finn sighed as he gave up and walked off.

"Good god I didn't think you could be anymore pathetic," Quinn's voice said as Rachel looked up and saw Quinn standing by the rafters.

"Hi Quinn," she said in annoyance as Quinn made her way down.

"You really think that with Finn on your side everyone would automatically just forgive you?"

"No,"

"Listen here Stubbles, you ruined everything, if it wasn't for you I'd still be with Finn, I would have won Prom Queen, I would still be respected, you ruined everything," she said as she came down and shoved Rachel.

"Knock it off Quinn, you can have Finn, he made it clear that he and I were just going to be friends for the time being,"

"Why so you can try and steal him again? I don't think so,"

"I thought you were okay with us, you know, with Nationals out of the way and you stopping Santana from trying to kill us,"

"I was stopping her from killing Finn, I don't care if she tried to kill you,"

"Oh,"

"Thought you'd notice,"

"Yes, I'm beginning to see it,"

"Good,"

Rachel turned to walk away and started walking past the life boats.

"Hey, come back here Stubbles I'm not done with you," Quinn started but didn't finish as she didn't see the small rouge wave hit the ship, neither did Rachel, but as the ship was tossed strongly and people could be heard screaming, the two were thrown off balance and into the water, both somehow managing to land into a life raft that was roughly broken away.

Rachel didn't know what else was happening as her world turned black.

When she came to, Rachel could hear the surf and the gulls as well as someone groaning next to her.

She sat up and realised she and Quinn had washed ashore.

"Quinn, Quinn, are you okay?" She asked as she shook Quinn a bit.

"Oh, god, my head, everything hurts," Quinn said as she slowly sat up.

"I, where are we?"

"Do I look like I'd know?!"

"Maybe we should go and find out,"

"Whatever,"

"We'll stick to the coast line,"

"Fine,"

The two walked around the coastline for what seemed like four hours, okay, so it was probably about three hours and fifty-nine minutes, but you get the point, it was a long trek, they were both tired and both hungry and thirsty.

"We're on an island, and it looks deserted," Rachel finally said when they arrived back to where they started.

"I'm stuck, on a damn island, with YOU," Quinn hissed.

"It's not like I planned to be stuck with you," Rachel said, somewhat dejectedly.

"Oh god, we're, we're stuck on an island and we don't know if anyone is ever going to find us, oh god,"

"Just calm down, maybe someone will notice we're missing,"

"And then what Stubbles?"

"Uh,"

"Do you think anyone knows where would have fallen off or how to get to us?"

"Uh, I,"

"Exactly,"

Rachel didn't say anything as she thought to herself in an almost sarcastic tone, 'Oh great, I'm doomed, I'm stuck with Quinn, she hates my guts, but we need to survive, oh god, what are we going to do?'
