1 [Accidental Video]

[somethingspecial]

[The feed clicks on to show a girl dressed to the nines sitting on a rock. In the rain. In any other moment, Rachel Berry would appreciate the dramatic nuances of the scene, but for the moment? The girl looks scared, arms wrapped around herself, and she's shivering.]

This isn't funny. Whatever has happened, I'm going to figure it out. You hear me, Vocal Adrenaline?!

[And she's calling into the woods now, because obviously, this is the rival glee club's fault. She's serious.]

I'm going to get back to the performance hall and we're going to win, without your cheating! I demand to be returned at once!

[Her bravado is broken by a small sob as Rachel tucks her head into her arms once again, totally ignorant of the PCD recording her.]

Oh, Finn, where are you?

[A tiny smile. He knows.]

Good. I'm glad.

Mm.

[And she's finishing her tea.]

I think I'll head to bed.

[al_truism]

All right.

[Gonna find sheets and blankets, then.]

Thank you, so much, for letting me stay here. Really. No one's ever been this nice to me before.

[al_truism]

You need a place to stay, that's really all there is to it.

[Shrug, but he smiles, finding a pillow.]

Most people here would do this.

I don't know if anyone would for me back home.

[She follows him, hesitant to just... pick a room. Some part of her still wants this to be a dream.]

But... I'd probably be eaten by rabbits or something if Ed hadn't found me.

I'm sure they would, Rachel. [Nope, no doubt in his mind.]

Well... you probably would have been bitten, yes, but nobody's ever been eaten by them. They scare off pretty quickly if you throw things at them.

[Al waves between a few rooms.] Let's see... I guess it all comes down to whether you want a mirror and a dresser, or a closet and a window.

[Rachel honestly looks like this is a difficult decision. She contemplates it heavily before deciding. A mirror or a window...? She can already see that she won't have her standard wardrobe, so the dresser isn't necessary, but she doesn't want a room without a window either.

She then tries to think of how terrible her hair must look, hairspray, rain, and all, and quickly decides she doesn't want to see.]

The one with the window is fine.
