Rachel's POV

I was sitting in my room with Puck and Sam. It's not what you think! When Finn broke up with me after I cheated All 3 of us became inseparable, they had my back through the whole thing. They were like my brothers. But ever since Finn and I, and Quinn and Puck got together we never really hung out that much alone. I would never tell Finn but They taught me how to play Call of Duty and I was actually really good. We decided that we 3 needed to get back together and hangout again. So here I was sitting in Pucks room, talking to them as we laid on his bed.

"I can't wait it's going to be so much fun. Are you sure she has NO idea?" I asked Sam

"Positive, Quinn is going to love this!" He said

"Wait Rach, are you sure Finn has no problem with you hanging out with us again?" Puck asked

"Yeah, I asked him and he said he understood because we were so close last year!" I said

"Good, because I missed hanging out with my Rachie!" Sam said punching my shoulder lightly

"He knows nothing is going on. We all are in different relationships!" I said "Plus he's out with his dad tonight, something about sports, not sure?"

"We need to start hanging out more out and in school" Sam said "I miss you guys, we were best friends before we all got in new relationships."

"Yeah, I have a great idea!" I said

"Am I going to like this Berry?" Puck said

"No, but I don't care you're doing it anyway! We should all 3 sing a song together! I mean we've never done it and it would be so much fun!" I said

"Yeah I may not be into it but anything to make you happy!" Puck said

"I'm down." Sam said "Let's practice!"

Quinn's POV

I'm home alone so I decided to write in my Diary.

January 3, 2012

It's a new year. And new changes were being made.

I'm at home going through magazines and perfecting my birthday outfit for school. That's right! My 18th birthday was this Friday. I know you guys probably think 'Quinn Fabray Queen Bee big 18th birthday' but I really didn't plan one. It wasn't that big of a deal! I would probably just have Finn, Rachel, and Puck come over for Dinner & movies or something. That's all I wanted and needed.

I'm really excited though. But I was just mainly happy that things were all better with Puck and I. I knew he was hanging out with Rachel and Sam today but that didn't bother be. Even though it should but I really had changed from our Junior Year. I'm not really that jealous anymore. I knew they were best friends and wanted to hangout again. I trusted Puck I shouldn't but I do.

But back to my perfect outfit! I'm planning it all out and I'm going to curl my hair into a couple big soft curls. I was still pretty popular at school and most of the people know its my birthday Friday so I had to look amazing. A lot of people were going to be talking to me.

Oh crap my phones ringing. Its Noah! Bye!

Love, Quinn

Rachel's POV

It was now Thursday and I was walking to my locker to put my books away for after school glee practice. And I saw Finn waiting for me.

"Hey You" I said as Finn met me at my locker at the end of the day.

"Hey Babe, ready for glee?" He said kissing me

"Yep, lets go!" I said taking his hand and walking to class smiling up at him.

Today was the day I was singing my song with the boys and no one knew about it. Not Even Finn. I was super excited!

We all were there and I raised my hand as Mr. Shue walked in.

"Yeah Rach?" He said

"Me, Sam, and Puck have prepared a number, can we preform it today?" I asked looking at my 2 friends

"Um, yeah I had no idea you were doing this!" He said

We went to the middle of the floor and I said "Alright, we this song is for my 2 best friends im standing here with. They got me through a lot last year and I'm really thankful to have them, as the closest thing to brothers I have" I said right before the music started playing

I sang the first couple lines.

My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why

I got out of bed at all

The morning rain clouds up my window

and I can't see at all

Sam and Puck joined in and started singing along with me

And even if I could it'd all be grey,

but your picture on my wall

It reminds me that it's not so bad,

it's not so bad

I drank too much last night, got bills to pay,

my head just feels in pain

I missed the bus and there'll be hell today,

I'm late for work again

And even if I'm there, they'll all imply

that I might not last the day

And then you call me and it's not so bad,

it's not so bad and

We were all holding hands and looking at eachother

I want to thank you

for giving me the best day of my life

Oh just to be with you

is having the best day of my life

Push the door, I'm home at last

and I'm soaking through and through

Then you hand me a towel

and all I see is you

And even if my house falls down,

I wouldn't have a clue

Because you're near me and

{I want to thank you

for giving me the best day of my life

Oh just to be with you

is having the best day of my life} X 2

When the song was over Me Sam and Puck were all hugging and lightly crying and everyone else was clapping.

"That was really good guys!" Mr . Shue said "I really like the way your voice sound together, But I was wondering If maybe I could have Rachel , Finn, Puck and Quinn put together some kind of number and perform if for us. I really would like to see how your voices sound together for Nationals."

"Mr. Shue we still have to win Regionals!" I said sitting down as finn whispered in my ear "That was amazing"

"Thanks" I said kissing his check

"Yes, speaking about Regionals I would like Santana and Mercedes to sing a duet and Then well do a big group number but I want Blaine and Kurt to lead on the group number!" He said "is that okay?"

Everyone nodded in agreement even me. I knew I was going to be singing at Nationals so it was alright, and I normally had all the solos anyways.

Class was over and Me, Finn, Puck, and Quinn were all walking out together.

"Are you excited for your birthday tomorrow Quinn?" I said to her

"Yeah, of course. Even though it's going to be pretty low-key" Quinn said

"Yeah, but it will be awesome. I also cant wait for Nationals this year!" Finn said

"Me too! Its going to be AWESOME!" Puck said

"Okay Well bye guys!" I said hugging Puck and Quinn jumping in Finns truck.

"She has no idea." I said smiling up at Finn

Quinn's POV

It was my birthday but I didn't feel any different. My mom cooked me a really yummy breakfast and surprised me with a new Coach purse, and some clothes and other things. I was in a really good mood and I looked super adorable. Puck was coming to pick my up like normal but today was different.

I heard the doorbell ring and I grabbed my Purse and bolted for the door when I opended it I saw a handsome Puck standing there with some flowers and a small box.

"Puck!" I said kissing him

"Happy Birthday Q, I love you and I got this for you!" He said handing her the flowers and small box

We I opened it I found a really gorgeous necklace.

"Oh my gosh Puck it's so pretty!" It was a heart with a diamond on the side of it

"It's real too, so don't lose it" He said putting it around my neck

"I love you so much! Thank you!" I said hugging him

"Anything for you" He said

When we got to school everyone was saying Happy Birthday and hugging me.

"Quinn!" I heard Rachel yell and I ran to her

"Happy birthday Quinn!" She said really excited throwing her arms around me

"Thanks Rach, I love you so much!" I said

"I love you too! Don't make me cry! I'll give you your present tonight okay!" She said

"Rach, you didn't have too-" I started to say

"Too late, I already did." She said walking With Puck and I to Glee

When we entered the Room everyone jumped out of their seats and hugged me saying Happy Birthday and Things. This day was so perfect. Nothing could make it better.

"Mr. Shue, last night we all came up with a song to sing for you today!" Puck said standing up

"Alright lets hear it!" He said

"Well first I'd like to say why we choose this song" Quinn said

"Alright" he said

"Well were going to be singing "Stop this Train" By John Mayer Because all 4 of us agree that were growing up to fast and were going to miss everyone so much when this year is over. And also Puck sounds really good playing Guitar in this song" I said

The music started playing and we all were standing there swaying and singing the first notes.

Rachel and Finn started the song off

No I'm not color blind

I know the world is black and white

Try to keep an open mind but...

I just can't sleep on this tonight

Stop this train I want to get off and go home again

I can't take the speed it's moving in

I know I can't

But honestly won't someone stop this train

Then Quinn and Puck joined in for the rest of the song

Don't know how else to say it, don't want to see my parents go

One generation's length away

From fighting life out on my own

Stop this train

I want to get off and go home again

I can't take the speed it's moving in

I know I can't but honestly won't someone stop this train

So scared of getting older

I'm only good at being young

So I play the numbers game to find away to say that life has just begun

Had a talk with my old man

Said help me understand

He said turn 68, you'll renegotiate

Don't stop this train

Don't for a minute change the place you're in

Don't think I couldn't ever understand

I tried my hand

John, honestly we'll never stop this train

See once in a while when it's good

It'll feel like it should

And they're all still around

And you're still safe and sound

And you don't miss a thing

'til you cry when you're driving away in the dark.

Singing stop this train I want to get off and go home again

I can't take this speed it's moving in

I know I can't

Cause now I see I'll never stop this train

Everyone jumped out of their seats clapping and crying because it was a sad song. And with One day of practice we sounded pretty amazing.

"I think I made up my Mind, I'd like Quinn, Puck, Rachel and Finn to sing the opening number at Nationals. I think with all of their voices well be a shoe in to win!"

Everyone agreed and clapped there hands.

The day was over and we were all walking out.

"Hey Quinn Can you go home with me, I know its your birthday but I left your present at my house and if were going out to dinner I figured we culd redo our hair and makeup at my house. Plus you have your dinner outfit at my house!" Rachel said

"Yeah, how are we going to get home?" She asked

"Well take Finns truck, he'll ride with Puck and well all meet at your house at 6:30?" She said back

"Okay sounds good!" She said kissing Puck and jumping in Finns Truck

"Drive Safe Babe, don't mess up my car!" Finn said in the window

"I won't! Driving a truck is so different!" Rachel said looking at Finn

"Yeah, love you be safe" He said kissing me

"See you soon babe!" I said backing out of the parking spot

Rachel's POV

Quinn and I had been getting ready forever and we looked perfect. I looked at my clock and it said 6:30 people were going over to Quinn's house for the surprise party at 6 so I hope everyone had shown up by then. We invited everyone from Glee some Football players and all the Cheerios. She was going to love it!

"Quinn let's go!" I said "The boys are waiting at your house and god knows what they're talking about with your mom!" I said

"You're Right! Let's go before things get out of hand!" She said and at that moment I got a text from Finn

"Not Ready Yet give us 10 minutes! Stall!"- F

"Crap, okay!" - R

"Come On Rach!" Quinn said Pushing my back as I was turned around.

I figured I needed to bring out the big guns. All those years at acting camp was about to pay off!

I started to Fake cry and Quinn noticed and said "Rach, what's wrong!"

"I'm just so happy I have a friend like you and we have amazing boyfriends!" I said sitting on the bed crying

"Awh, Rach you're going to make me cry now! You're a good friend, actually the best I have ever had and I love you so much! I can't believe we wasted so much time fighting. We could have been such good friends for so long." She said crying too.

It had been 10 minutes of crying and talking and I told her we better go.

We were pulling into her neighborhood and everything looked normal. We had all of the cars park far away and spread out so it looked normal. We walked up the the porch and walked in to a pitch black house and the lights flickered on and everyone jumped up yelling "SURPRISE"

Quinn was crying and Puck came over and kissed her.

"OH MY GOSH! Rachel did you do this for me!" Quinn said crying hugging me

"Yeah, with help from Finn and Puck. But you know they didn't help much!" I said

"Oh, Finn thank you so much!" She said hugging him crying

"Thank you everyone who came!" she said "LETS PARTY!"

The night went on and we were all dancing and singing and playing truth or dare and eating. It was so much fun. It was about midnight and people were staring to leave until it was just us 4 cleaning up.

"Thank you guys so much for this!" Quinn said

"No Problem" I said looking at Quinn

The house was clean just as Judy asked it would be when she came home that night. And it was getting late so Finn offered to drive me home.

"That was so much Fun!" I said hopping in Finns Truck

"Yeah! It was a great idea Rach." Finn said

"Yeah, I'm full of those if you guys listened to be once in a while" I said smiling

"I listen babe, it's the rest of them that don't. And you have to admit there pretty good with you this year." He said

"They Are" I said we reached my house and I kissed him goodnight and ran up to my house freezing in the freezing cold.

It had been a pretty amazing night.
