somethingspecial | 19 [Accidental Video]

[The video cuts on in the middle of Rachel brushing out her hair, watching herself in her mirror. There's a large macaw in the corner, which is the only sign of the event being in her room.

She doesn't seem focused on the PCD -- or the parrot -- but instead on her image in the mirror. Rachel sighs -- the humidity is causing her hair to be curlier and poofier than it normally is and the amount of moisture certainly isn't doing anything for her skin. A tug or two through and the brush makes it through her hair, but the girl looks less than satisfied.

Until Rachel cocks her head to the left and curls her fingers around the handle of her brush and begins to sing to herself, softly, at first, but the more she sings, the louder and more passionate it becomes:]

My mama told me when I was young, we're all born superstars. She rolled my hair and put my lipstick on, in the glass of her boudoir --

[A neat spin and Rachel is full out singing into her mirror -- and seems to be doing a dance, along with her song -- and it appears perfectly choreographed.]

There's nothin' wrong with lovin' who you are, she said, 'cause he made you perfect, babe, -- so hold your head up, girl, and you'll go far -- listen to me when I say -- !

[The brush is long since forgotten on the dresser, by this point, as she continues her dance.]

I'm beautiful in my way, 'cause God makes no mistakes, I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way -- don't hide yourself in regret, just love yourself and you're set, I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way --

[The PCD times out soon after -- the network has apparently had enough diva for the time being.]

... yes. There have been times when I've been scared or nervous, but I still try to be as brave as I can.

Then that's what matters.

Mhm.

[And... here it goes to private, because lol what talking about sappy things. Also said things may be touchy subjects.]

... there's nothing scarier than being in love. I think that's the most scared I've ever been.

...I agree, actually.

Falling in love is terrifying.

You're learning that person, finding out what they like and what they don't, whether they like certain things that you do, how they react... If you make one wrong move, it can be all over.

But if you make the right ones, it's so incredibly worth it.

I seem to have difficulty in that respect.

... I think the right move is right under your nose, Miss Rachel.

[... have some blank staring, because the only person she can think of is -- ]

Excuse me?

[... oh.]

... oh, I... w-well, I just think that... the right thing to do is right in front of you, and you're just not realizing it...

-- but I'm a year older and it's been -- I'm a different person now.

[Ooookay, not completely following, but.]

... but you're still Rachel, despite how long it's been or what has happened.

I understand that, but we didn't leave on excellent terms, and I don't want to --

[Rachel gestures, uncomfortable.]

... be that girl. Again. I've had my heart broken enough, but it feels right. Like no time has passed at all.

[... wait, what.]

But I thought you were on good terms when you left.

I didn't leave, he did.

... but Edward hasn't left here--

He ran off to California to go to the University of California: Los Angeles, reme --

[wat.]

... excuse me?

-=THERE IS EDWARD RUSHING INTO WHERE NEGI IS TO TACKLE HIM=-

Will you--WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!

[OH GOD down he goes.]

Waah--!!

-- Edward?

What are you doing?!

What the hell is he telling you---WHY is he telling you!

-=Yeah, you can't see Negi, Rachel. Ed has him pinned. He's looking down at Negi.=-

What the hell are you doing?! I thought I was making good enough progr-- SHE DOESN'T NEED TO BE BURDENED WITH THIS!

[Negi's not even trying to struggle. Well, okay, maybe just a little, but not serious struggling.]

I-I-I'm sorry...! I-I didn't mean-- I-I just wanted to--

[And suddenly, Rachel is utterly mortified, because she had thought --

That Negi was talking about --

Jesse.

Cue bright red Rachel Berry.]

I'm -- I'll just let you sort that out.

[HANGING UP NOW. D8]

-=he hears the click of the PCD going and Ed just gives Negi a murderous look=-

....

-=Then he deflates somewhat, standing up and getting off of the teen.=-
