Sunday Evening

"Dad! Where are my tap dancing shoes?"

"I don't know sweetie ask your daddy!"

"Ugh! Daddy!"

"Yes, pumpkin?"

"Do you know where my tap dancing shoes are?"

"Yes, I took them to the mall to get repaired, because the heel was falling off."

"When are they going to be ready?"

"I'm not sure honey; I'll look for the receipt."

While Rachel's daddy figured out when the shoes would be ready, Rachel kept contemplating if this were a good idea.."

Flashback dinner at Ella's

Rachel and Ella walked down to decide what they would have for dinner, before Rachel could tell them of her vegan diet Quinn beat her to it.

"Since Rachel's a vegan I think we should try out the new restaurant that has a vegetarian and vegan menu." Quinn suggested looking nonchalant.

Everyone concurred while Rachel looked shocked that Quinn would even remember such a thing about her.

While at dinner Brittany asked if Rachel was available to help her out for three weeks as a counselor for a dance camp. Rachel tried to decline politely but Ella again was very persistent stating that it would look great on a Juilliard application. Rachel concurred and agreed. Brittany smiling widely clapping her hands excited that plan was working.

Monday Brittany's house

"Brittany I'm going to the mall later do you want to join me?" asked Quinn

"Yea, sure Quinn; I need to get some stuff for the dance camp anyways; I'll call up S if she wants to join." Okay now to make Quinn join … think girl think…

While trying to think of away to nonchalantly ask Quinn, her phone startled her from her thoughts.

"Hi El; Yeah I'm still thinking for a way to do that"

"Oh, that's a perfect plan, just call in about ten minute's okay bye"

(ten minutes later)

Walking into Quinn's temporary room Brittany answers her ringing phone.

"Hello?"

"Yes, uhm..oh no! they can't do that, all those poor kids who are looking forward to this will be so disappointed!"

"Let me get back to you on that"

"thank you, I'll be in touch"

"What was that about?" Quinn asked while trying to figure out what she should wear to the mall.

"You know the dance camp I'm apart of well they are few camp counselor short so they might just shut the whole camp down for the summer; which will upset so many kids" Brittany started to sniffle and held back some tears. Seeing how upset Brittany was Quinn thought that she could help out. "Uhh…Don't get upset Britt, I can be a counselor, and I have nothing else planned till Cheer camp which isn't till later." Also I get to be around Rachel without the possibility of losing any popular status.

Both girls were smiling but not realizing for entirely two different reasons.

Lima Mall

With Rachel's parents gone Rachel decided to head to the mall and run some errands.

Rachel roamed the mall picking up her tap shoes first and then heading to the music store to browse some music sheets for the coming school year. Rachel drowned her self into a few new albums that were on display to sample and listen. Not realizing where she was she started to sing along until someone tapped her on the shoulder. Well more like poking.

Rachel spun around to come faced with Santana Lopez. Just great just what I need…

"Hello Santana what are you doing here?"

"Same reason as you Berry." Santana just smirked and held up her hand holding out two new CD's"

"Well that's nice… maybe you can have some ideas for sectionals next year?"

Ugh this is so awkward! I need to leave!

"Well it was nice to see you; I have to be going now"

Just as Rachel was about to turn and leave she crashed into blonde hair.

"I'm so sorry! Are you alrig…" While helping the blonde up she finally noticed it was Quinn and right behind her Ella and Brittany stood watching in amusement.

"Hi Rachel!" Ella and Brittany greeted.

"Hi." Quinn smiled at her which looked more like a smirk. And that really irked Rachel.

She will not be the butt of their jokes anymore; she was done with them walking all over her.

Just as Rachel was about to go off on her rant Ella grabbed her and pulled her away from the three girls.

"Hey Rachel are you okay?" Asked Ella. While she brushed Rachel off and helped Rachel straighten out her skirt and blouse. Ella leaned a little too close and into Rachel personal space.

"Yes I think so…" Rachel just wanted to get out of there with her dignity in tacked.

"So how are you doing with getting ready for the camp?"

"I'm almost done. Just getting a few last minute items off my list" Rachel tried to discretely step back a bit to get some space between her and Ella but it seems Ella would just follow her.

Quinn's POV:

What does that tramp think she's doing! Has she not heard of personal space!

Can't she tell that Rachel is uncomfortable?

(yeah that's your real concern… you just want to be in Ella's place.) Oh shut up you!

(you know that you just told your self to shut up right?)Whatever! Shut up!

(…)Good!

Now I need to plan away to get Rachel to notice me over THAT TRAMP!

Brittany's House:

"So what should we do today?" Quinn asked the two who were busy flipping though a new issue of Teen Vogue.

"Why don't we have a sleep over with El?" suggested Brittany.

Are you serious! Ugh I know she's your cousin and all but come on! Do we really need to include her in everything now?

"Yeah sure that's one idea anything else? Santana?" Come on Santana give me something! Not noticing the look that Quinn was giving, Santana just answered;

"Uhh…I got nothing Q. Sorry I guess Brit's idea's a go?"

"Yeah sure fine…" You are so useless!

Wow Q must really dislike El;and currently S as well from the daggers she sending S. Yes! it's playing along perfectly with my plan; well kinda… I now know that El being all friendly towards Rachel is getting to her now and just a little bit more and I know Q will open up about her feeling towards Rachel. I just hope it's soon before she kills someone…

"You okay Brit? Why are you smiling like the cat that ate the canary?"

"What! I would not do that; those poor defenseless birds. How could you ask me that S."

"I'm sorry Brit didn't mean it like that. Never mind…I'm sorry; okay? Let's just plan a fun sleepover with your cousin; does that sound good?"

"Okay! Let me make a call to my cousin to see if she wants to come over."

Brittany walked out of the room claiming she left her phone in her bedroom. She walked into her room closed the door and pulled out her cell phone from her pocket and dialed her cousin.

"Hello?"

"Hi El, It's me Brittany, I was wondering if you wanted to attend a sleepover at my house tonight?"

"Oh that sounds nostalgic! I think that would be fun. Why don't we have it at my house since the rents are out till tomorrow afternoon since they are both working the grave yard shift?"

"Okay that can work. But I have another plan for the sleepover!"

"Oh what's that exactly?"

"Well you know that stunt you pulled at the record store today well let's just say Q is not happy with you right now so to make a little headway into our match making I though that we should invite Rachel over to the sleepover without the other's knowing until it's too late to back out. What do you think, El?"

Sometimes that girl seriously surprises me at the most unexpected times. I'm seriously going to miss her when I have to move to NY.

"Okay that's sound perfect Brit! I'll ask Rachel to come over and when that's set I'll call you right back."

Rachel's Room

Ring..Ring…

"Hello?"

"Hi! Rachel, its Ella I was wondering if you wanted to come over for a sleep over. Just to have some fun before we're in charge of little kids all summer."

"Uh..I rather not but I have a feeling you won't take 'No' for an answer.. Sure sounds fun"

"Yay!" Wow that was easier than I thought it was going to be. Plan one complete; now on to plan two.
