She'd practiced her speech in her head the entire trip to Stars Hollow. And she's run through all of the possible scenarios. She wasn't going to delude herself. Quinn Fabray could be a dangerous and unpredictable opponent. Based on their interactions over the past few months, Rachel was confident that Quinn would at least listen to what she had to say. The Quinn who would have bit her head off and buried her remains out behind the school for the mere thought of a relationship? She was long gone.

Unlike her earlier meeting with Shelby, Rachel had called Noah, asking for his approval. He'd laughed for five minutes before telling her she was crazy.

Santana? She'd growled at her for interrupting 'Britt Time' but had wished her luck in 'unpressing that lemon' before rudely hanging up.

Rachel nervously waited for Quinn to answer her phone. "Hi Quinn," she said.

"Rachel?" Quinn said, before she had a chance to start her speech.

"Yes," Rachel said.

"The next time you want to go out on a date?" Quinn said. "With me?"

"Yes?" Rachel imagined she could hear her smile.

"Ask me. Not Santana. Not Puck. Me," Quinn said. "You might be surprised."
