Rating: Leaving it open

Taking the opportunity to spend her lunch away from the office, Rachel decided to do a bit of shopping, heading into one of the strip malls around the area. She stopped outside of the D-A-S-H store and glanced inside through the windows, waging an internal war on whether or not to go inside. The browse side of the war won and she pushed the door open and headed in, making a beeline towards the bathing suits. She declined help from the sales girl as she browsed, pulling out a couple of pieces before putting them back.

After finding a couple she liked, she turned,  bumping into someone. “Sorry, I didn’t see you there.” she said, tossing her hair back as she adjusted what she held in her arms.

"I'm not surprised. Clearly you're blind as Stevie Wonder's pet bat if those are your choices."

Kurt was here to pick up an order for a dress he had chosen to buy and pull to bits in the name of his own designing. He had seen it in a magazine and his current college assignment was find something that you felt was a blight on the fashion world and remodel it into something worthy of a Red Carpet. Considering his opinions on the Kardashians, he wasn't surprised D-A-S-H housed exactly what he was looking for. He had been waiting for assistance when nearly got barrelled over by someone and although his ass nearly fell out of him when he saw who it was, as usual, he kept his usual Hummel cool outside.

He coked his head a little a quirked an eyebrow at his old rival. He vaguely remember references to her over the course of recent conversations, especially since meeting Blaine, but this was such a blast from the past, he wasn't exactly sure how to take it. This was the woman who basically made it impossible for him to get any spotlight in glee club, and he wasn't sure how he was supposed to feel about bumping into her.

[Let's say this is AFTER her conversation with Kurt, as Rachel is leaving the store ;)]

Mercedes had a much treasured day off and after grabbing a smoothie with Kurt before he had to run off and get what he needed for his college assignment, she thought there could be nothing better than a little retail therapy. Quinn was tied up in college and Kurt was busy, so she had to go it alone today. She was going to text Holly to see if she wanted to join her, but she had her hands tied up with apparently a new gorgeous beau on the scenes and Mercedes didn't want to impose on that. Hell, she would be a cheerleader for anyone finding love with her own romantic life abysmally in the toilet. She was sure she was destined to just forever be a fag hag.

With some bags draped over her arms, she wandered casually past some stores, window shopping and was about to side-step someone exiting D-A-S-H so she didn't bump into them when she had to do a distinct double-take. "Rachel? Rachel Berry?" she gasped in surprised, eyes widening a little. "Oh my god. What are you doing in Miami?"
