"Quinn I never thought in a million years I would be going to one of the most prestige schools, like NYDIA. I honestly feel like I'm gonna float away any second, if you weren't holding me down that is." Rachel said with a glazed look over her eyes, as she clutched onto Quinn's leather jacket. Quinn chuckled and smiled at Rachel charmingly, "Actually you're the one holding on to me for dear life, but I don't really mind being your anchor." Rachel swooned at that but then blushed as soon as she realized she was the one holding Quinn hostage with her tight like grip. "Oh sorry Quinn, I just got a little bit excited and couldn't help myself." Rachel let go of Quinn's leather jacket and kept her hands at her sides in embarrassment. Quinn licked her lips and smiled at Rachel with a playful smirk, "Remind me to always keep you in a excited mood from now on." Quinn winked at Rachel charmingly, making her blush once more. Quinn's phone then let out a loud ring making Rachel jump in surprise, Quinn took out her phone from her back pocket and muttered out a curse. "Rachel I don't mean to be a sore sport, but I really need to head to Scooter's studio." Rachel nodded understandingly but then smiled, "Well since you gladly supported me through my audition, maybe I could come along with you?" Rachel asked her excitingly. Quinn licked her lips in anticipation but she eventually nodded, "Sure-but it's only gonna be about an hour long session. Scooter just wants me to record a song I already sang for him again. Are you sure you wanna come along with me, instead of going out and exploring New York some more?" Quinn asked her curiously, but was secretly hoping Rachel wouldn't change her mind. Rachel huffed and nodded at Quinn, "Of course I do Quinn! What kind of a friend would I be if I didn't come along and support your dream as well?" Quinn chuckled and nodded at Rachel once more, "Alright, well let's hurry up and flag down a taxi before I'm even more late than I already am." They both ran down the long corridor of NYDIA hallways, laughing as they raced towards the exit.

"Well, well, well, look who finally decided to show up? I was getting a bit worried there Quinn. I thought you got yourself stuck on the toilet again." Puck said smiling at Quinn teasingly as he saw her and Rachel enter the huge studio together. Quinn rolled her eyes at Puck, "It's not my fault you left your toilet seat up, at three in the morning might I add." Quinn said punching Puck playfully on his arm, as Puck shrugged, "I'm a guy Quinn, I thought you would know by now that all dudes leave the toilet seat up. I mean you do have the right equipment for it." Puck said winking at Quinn teasingly. Quinn laughed loudly as Sam chuckled right with her, "Come on guys, Scooter wants us." Sam said as he stopped laughing as he motioned to the other side of the glass, to where Scooter Bruan was currently standing. Scooter immediately saw Quinn and tapped on the microphone speaking into it, "Glad you made it Quinn, that must be the Rachel I presume?" Quinn flushed in embarrassment but nodded while she grabbed an electric guitar, "Nice to meet you Rachel, you can sit anywhere you like." Rachel waved back a hello gesture as she sat down right across from Puck, Quinn, and Sam in the spacious studio. Puck then stood in front of a huge keyboard while Sam went to sit down in front of his drums. Scooter tapped back on the microphone key, "Okay guys, I have a few board colleagues with me and they would like to hear the song Quinn sent me a couple days ago. Whenever you're ready." Quinn made sure her guitar was strapped around her shoulders as she looked at Puck and Sam, while nodding. (If you guys don't know the 1975, then you're missing out on great fucking music pals.)
Puck nodded back at her as he started to press the keys, making Sam start the beat. Quinn walked up to the hanging microphone on the ceiling in front of her then looked back up at Rachel, Rachel smiled at Quinn instantly. Quinn breathed out a smile as she started to strum the guitar with her fingers. "I personify the 'adolescent on a phone.' Speaking like I'm bigger than my body. I personify that lack of freedom in your life, and I'm sure she'll be gone in a second." Quinn couldn't keep her eyes off of Rachel for one of two reasons. One, Rachel looked really fucking cute when she started bobbing her head up and down at the beat. Two, this song was obviously about her. Quinn licked her lips nervously as she sang the next part of her song, "Let me tell you 'bout this girl. I thought she'd rearrange my world. Takes a particular type of girl, to put my heart under arrest. So why is this feeling on my chest?" Puck smiled at Quinn's back knowingly as he saw Quinn try to not look at Rachel, but obviously failing as Quinn stared at no one but her in the room. "Wide awake before I found you." Puck chuckled as he looked at Sam while they sung the back up vocals.
"(This must be my dream)" Quinn heard Puck's stifled laugh and turned around to glare at him, "I can't wait for you boy." Puck immediately stopped laughing as he saw the threatening glare Quinn gave him and started to sin more seriously this time. "(Wake me from my dream)" Quinn smiled victoriously as she turned back around, to keep looking at Rachel's beautiful brown eyes. "What does all our love amount to?" Rachel's eyebrows furrowed a bit at that part Quinn sang, especially when Quinn looked like she was singing it directly to her. "(This must be my dream)" Quinn then looked away from Rachel quickly as she saw Rachel look confused for a second. "We can't make love when you fly around me baby." Quinn then decided to stare at Scooter and his very important business colleagues, trying to decipher if they were doing good to their standards. Quinn saw one of the three colleagues bob their head to the music. The other two were stone cold, as Scooter gave Quinn a thumbs up in encouragement. Quinn smiled at him gratefully as she went back to singing with a bit more confidence than she originally had started. "Pipe down, you're no lover. This feeling keeps your body tune. Well, I thought it was love but I guess I must be dreaming 'Bout feeling something instead of you." Instead of looking back at Rachel for this part, she went beside Puck and sang to him. "What did I tell you 'bout this girl? The one to rearrange your world? You got excited and now you find out that your 'girl' won't even get you undressed. Or care about your beating chest." Rachel frowned slightly at that part, the beat of this song was upbeat. The lyrics however were sad, all Rachel could think about was which girl did Quinn write about? The chorus dropped and Quinn and Puck started to dance and sing to each other, "Wide awake before I found you. (This must be my dream) I can't wait for you boy. (Wake me from my dream)
What does all our love amount to?
(This must be my dream) We can't make love when you fly around me baby!" Puck laughed as he saw Quinn make her way over to Sam and do the same thing she did to him. "Wide awake before I found you. (This must be my dream)
I can't wait for you boy! (Wake me from my dream) What does all our love amount to? (This must be my dream) We can't make love when you fly around me baby!" After she finished the second repeat of the chorus she went back to the hanging microphone stand on the ceiling, and sang the last part to Rachel with a smile. "Wide awake before I found you. (This must be my dream) I can't wait for you boy
(Wake me from my dream) What does all our love amount to? (This must be my dream) We can't make love when you fly around me baby!" They all stopped playing as they then heard cheering in front of them, Rachel clapped her hands loudly with a big smile on her face. Quinn smiled at her in appreciation but she looked up to see Scooter talking with his colleagues in the private room. They only talked for a couple seconds until Scooter quickly turned around and spoke into the speaker, "Well guys I have some good news and I have some bad news." Quinn could hear a pin drop it was that quite, as they all stood on end as Scooter continued speaking with a big smile on his face. "The good news is...you are all getting a contract with my company tonight." They all dropped their instruments in shock as Rachel squealed in excitement and immediately jumped on top of Quinn. Quinn catched her with the biggest smile on her face and swung Rachel around in her arms. Puck was too in shock to even move while Sam looked at Scooter in confusion, "Wait, then what's the bad news?" Scooter sighed, "Well you guys can't officially go on tour until you're all graduated from high school unfortunately. I didn't make that rule, you can thank Susan for that part." Scooter gestured to one of his colleagues behind him in a playful matter. Susan huffed as she sat up and pushed Scooter away from the microphone, "Listen guys, you can't tell anyone about this yet. We want you fresh and new as soon as you graduate. That way you can go on as many tours and radio shows without having to worry about school. We will see you guys in a couple of months, and congratulations." They all cheered once again as Sam tackled a still in shock Puck to the ground. Quinn put Rachel down as they both laughed at Puck pushing a giggling Sam off of him. "Can you guys believe this?! We fucking made it!" Puck yelled in excitement as he got pulled up and off the ground by Sam. "I can't wait until I get to brag about this to all the cheerios in school, imagine all the blowjobs I'll get!" Puck yelled as he hugged Sam tightly. Quinn shook her head at Puck as she looked at Rachel. "So...I guess both or our dreams came true today." Rachel chuckled and looked at Quinn, "Your dream was to be a rockstar?" Quinn smiled at Rachel cheekily, "I just always had a feeling I would be, must be in the Fabray genes." Rachel laughed as she intertwined Quinn's right hand with hers, "Well whatever your real dream was, I bet you could make it happen all the same." Rachel said smiling up at Quinn with loving eyes. Quinn almost forgot how to breathe as Rachel intertwined their hands together. They stared into each other's eyes for a few minutes until Puck kindly interrupted them, "Hey you two! Stop eye fucking each other and let's go out and celebrate!" Puck yelled at them in excitement as he dragged Sam out the studio door with him. Quinn rolled her eyes at him, as Rachel just blushed. "So, I guess we should go before Puck literally drags us out with him." Quinn nodded as her Rachel left the studio room, hands still intertwined.
