Chapter 6
A/N: Okay guys, here some things I have to say about Chapter 5: first off, thanks much for your reviews—it was way encouraging, since the chapter was so short and confusing. Like I said, it's still my first time with the techie stuff, so I didn't know the lines I put wouldn't separate each little scene. But you guys seemed smart enough to figure it out—kudos! Also…sorry it took me so long to update after leaving you with such a short chapter. There were two reasons for this: writer's block and stress and work from classes. But chapter 6 is up, and it is the final chapter of this little "episode." Thank you for your feedback, and I hope you like it!
Quinn strained to hear what Logan and Rachel were saying. She could see their mouths moving, but that was about it. She leaned over to Michael.
"You're getting what they're saying, right?" She whispered.
"Yeah," he responded. He pointed to the microphone he had attached to the camera. "We got it all."
Quinn grinned and went back to watching the two. Taylor had her arms crossed and Logan's eyes were fixed on his food. She breathed a small sigh of relief. It looked like she wasn't going to lose Logan tonight. She slowly raised herself up, careful not to stand up, giving away their position.
"Well, you guys seem to have it covered. I'm going to go perfect my "anti-wet" solution."
Lola looked confused. "You don't want to stay for the rest of the date?"
Quinn shrugged. "Nah." She tried to pass Lola but accidentally stepped on Lola's foot instead. Lola let out a loud yelp. Quinn cringed and quickly slapped her hand over Lola's mouth. But it was too late.
Logan and Taylor hurried over to the wall after hearing the yelp.
"Michael? Lola? Quinn?!" Logan looked at the three of them, shocked. "What are you guys doing?"
"Logan? Well, hey there! How's your date going?" Michael said a little too casually.
"Nice try. Seriously…someone start talking!" Logan was getting angrier.
"Well…" Quinn was hesitant. "Lola got this new video camera, and we needed an idea for a movie. So…"
Lola cut in. "So Quinn suggested we film your date for our movie."
Logan looked at Quinn disbelievingly. "Huh?" Quinn remained silent and became fascinated with the PCA grass.
Rachel looked at the four of them. "Well, you honestly can't expect much from our date. All he did was talk about himself and you guys, especially Qu-"
Logan interrupted her, frantically faking anger. "You know what? If you don't like hearing about me, then….you can leave!" He used hand gestures to emphasize his point.
Rachel grabbed her backpack from her seat at their table. "Oh…way ahead of you there." She glanced at the table again and grabbed her drink. She took off the top, walked over to the group and poured her drink all over a surprised Logan.
"Arrrghh! What was that for?!" Logan looked at her furious.
Rachel smiled. "That just made our date way worth it. Bye!" She waved to the group, smiling too sweetly, and walked away from them.
"So, it looks like we weren't the only ones to ruin your date." Lola smirked.
"Yep." Michael agreed. "You did that on your own." He laughed at the sight of Logan.
"Come on. Let's go get some coffee." Lola linked arms with Michael, and they started to leave. "Quinn, ya coming?" Lola asked.
Quinn glanced at Logan. "Nah…I'm just gonna go back and work on stuff."
"Okay. Well, see ya!" Lola and Michael waved. "Oh, and Logan…stay dry!" Lola giggled and Michael joined in, giving her a high five.
Logan glared at them and waited til Michael and Lola were out of sight. He looked at Quinn and raised an eyebrow.
"Movie idea?"
"Yeah…" Quinn tried to come up with her defense. "You people always love romantic comedies, and I just thought that-"
"Quinn…" Logan's tone was warning, yet soft.
Quinn threw her hands up in the air. "Okay! I got jealous, okay?! I thought I would be cool with you dating someone else, but when you mentioned the model, I just—freaked. You're pretty mad, aren't you?" Quinn asked sheepishly.
"Well, I normally don't like being covered in sugary liquids, but beyond that, I'm actually kind of…flattered." Logan smiled.
"Why?"
"No girl I've dated has ever been that jealous to do something like that. I'm glad that you like me that much. Even if your plan was a bit unhealthy." He shook his head. "I just wish you would've told me before I had to go on the date. Do you know how bored I was? All I could talk about was you. And me, off course." He added smugly.
Quinn looked at him with an expression of surprise and awe. "That's so sweet. I should've trusted you. I'm sorry." Quinn gave him a hug and pulled away with a disgusted expression on her face, touching his sticky shirt.
Logan grinned wide. "Oh, you like my icky self, don't you?" He lunged for her before she had time to think and wrapped his arms around her, holding her captive. She tried to swat him away and told him to let her go, but he would have none of it. "No way, Pensky. You got me into this mess."
She laughed and kept swatting at him playfully. He turned her around to face him and brought his lips to hers. She brought her hands to his face and his arms remained around her waist. They reluctantly broke apart.
Logan smiled mischievously. "So…how about we have a date, instead?"
"Okay!" Quinn said excitedly. Logan put an arm around her. She grabbed his hand and lifted his arm off of her. "But first, we should probably get cleaned up."
"Right." Logan nodded. They walked off together soon to part ways: he to his dorm and she to hers, their teasing still being heard in the distance. What they didn't notice was that they had also just walked away from the camera that Lola had left behind that still had the recording button lit up.
"I don't hear a thank you for remembering your camera." Michael said as they walked back to the wall where she had left it, iced coffees in their hands.
"Yeah, yeah. At least it's still there." She walked up to the camera and noticed the light on. "Hey! It was still recording." She picked it up but learned it was harder to use one hand than she thought it would be. With a sickening sound, the camera crashed on the concrete.
"My camera!" Lola squealed. Michael watched the scene in disbelief. He tried to think of something to say that would help.
"It's alright, Lola." He put a comforting arm around her. "Just remember the good times you had with it."
Lola gave him a funny look. "It's a camera, not a pet. Or person." She then shrugged. "And it's not like we got any good footage anyway."
Michael agreed. "Yeah, Logan's love life is way boring. What make us think it would be cool to film that?"
Lola shook her head. "Who knows?"
"Well, I guess we should pick up the pieces anyway." Michael went to work gathering up the various parts and Lola joined in. They dumped the parts in the nearby trashcan.
"I just wish we could've filmed something that was halfway interesting." Lola sighed.
Logan and Quinn sat on "their lawn" spending time talking, laughing and kissing. They both grinned at each other, ear to ear. They couldn't believe they had pulled off Logan's date while still keeping their relationship a secret. As the wind whipped through PCA's campus, it seemed to carry Logan and Quinn's laughter happy banter with it—all the way to the stars.
A/N: Okay…soo sorry about the anticlimactic ending, but we've been getting a lot of those in the show lately, so I tried to be realistic. Also, I said this episode could fit in between "Quinn Misses the Mark" and "Coffee Cart Ban" so our lovely couple would not have been outed yet. Oh, and I thought the stuff with Chase and Zoey should remain unresolved. All we know is that she called him and left a message. You can decide the rest! I had a lot of fun writing this and watching the characters come to life. I hope you had fun reading it! Y'all are fantastic—peace!
