Author's Note: This story is just a random thought I had one day. So please forgive me if I don't get all the characters personality correctly. I don't know the Glee characters very well so I'm just writing them as close as I could and how they would fit in my story. This story has nothing to do with Glee (other then the characters) but I'll try to keep some music related stuff in it. And bare with me. I haven't decided if this fic will end up with Faberry but they are the main focus of this storyline. Thanks for reading and please tell me what you think of the it so far. I'll try to have the first chapter up soon. xoxo

Disclaimer: I DO NOT own any of these Glee characters. Just the storyline.

Prologue

Today is the first day, the first day to the rest of her life. Rachel Berry, 27 and a NYU graduate, is about to start her new job at one of the finest up and coming PR agency in New York City. Granted, her dream career is still to perform on the stage where great musicals such as Wicked came alive. However, that will have to be a side hobby for now as she enters the large building, ready to start on a different path.

"Welcome to HQ, what can I do for you?" Rachel heard a girl spat her, clearly not enjoying her job.

"Uh, I'm here to see..."Rachel started but was cut off when the girl started answering the phone.
"Do you have an appointment or what?" The girl asked impatiently.

"That's no way to talk to anyone. I'll have you see that some politeness will come a long way if you want to move up from your current, telephoning answering position." Rachel replied sharply and before she could continue, someone interrupted her 'about to be' full-blown speech.

"I see that you haven't really changed." A male's voice came from behind her.

"Kurt!" Rachel turned to see her long time friend. "It's so nice to see you again." She pulled him into a warm embrace.

Kurt chuckled at his friend's enthusiasm. "It's always lovely to see you as well, Rach" he then pulled away from her embrace. "Amanda." He threw towards the receptionist who seems to look a bit confused at the interaction before her. "This is Rachel Berry, our new Executive Director of Public Relations." Kurt introduced.

Rachel couldn't help but smile slightly when she witness this Amanda girl eyes' go wide when realization of who Rachel was hit her.

"I'm so sorry Mrs. Berry!" the girl started to frantically apologize.

"Ms. Berry." Rachel corrected, "Its okay, Amanda, was it?" the girl nodded. "Just try not to look like you hate your job so much." Rachel commented before Kurt led her to her new office.

A couple of hours passed as the two friends caught up on each other's lives. Kurt decided to leave Rachel to settle in to her new office before their meeting to introduce her. Rachel leaned back into her black office chair as she took in this moment. This was it, the start to a brand new chapter in the book of Rachel Berry. In the past couple year, Rachel worked through many internships at several prestigious firms to get where she is today. At 27, she felt like she had accomplished a lot. However, she wasn't finished. She's just getting started. So when she got a call from Kurt with a chance to move up in society, she couldn't pass it up. Now, as director of this new firm, she has the opportunity to shape and mold it into the next big thing. Rachel had always been passionate in everything she did and this was no exception.

"Rachel, meeting in 5." Kurt announced, pulling Rachel out of her daydream.

"Right behind yah." Rachel replied as she got up and followed Kurt to the conference room where a group of people has already assembled.

"Good afternoon everyone!" Rachel heard Kurt greet everyone enthusiastically. "Please take a seat so we can get started." Rachel allowed herself to take the seat next to Kurt at the end of the long oval shaped table. "How's everyone doing this fine Monday?" Kurt asked sounding a bit too excited. Rachel heard the room moans and groans but everyone was smiling nevertheless. Rachel is scanning the room to familiarize herself with the faces she'll be spending a lot of her time with.

"Who's the newbie Hummel?" Rachel heard someone ask. She looked to see who it was and was greeted with a devilish smirk. The Latina was eyeing her like Rachel was fresh meat, and she's ready to prance. Rachel knows a lesbian when she sees one.

"Down girl." Kurt teased. "Everyone, this is Rachel Berry." Kurt announced as Rachel stood to greet everyone. "She's our new Director of Public Relations." He added as everyone looked at Rachel in awe.

"Hello everyone. It's very nice to meet you guys and I'm looking forward to working with everyone." Rachel greeted, making sure she sounded genuine but still maintaining that 'boss' attitude.

"So Rachel, Brittany over there" Kurt started and pointed to a tall blonde who waved at her excitedly, "is your assistant. She will help you catch up with anything that you need. I'm pretty sure you've done your homework but Brittany can help you with everything else." Kurt assured her.

"Hello Brittany." Rachel greeted her.

"Hi Rach! Do you mind me calling you that? Or did you want me to call you Ms. Berry? Or RB? Maybe Ma'am?" The blonde asked and Rachel couldn't help but chuckle at the girl's enthusiasm.

"You can call me whatever you like Brittany as long as it's appropriate." Rachel answered and saw the girl light up. "Awesome." Brittany replied.

"Rachel, this is Santana Lopez and..." Rachel heard Kurt continue but was cut off.

"The only person you really need to know here." She heard the Latina say out loud. 'Oh, she's a feisty one' Rachel thought to herself.

"As I was saying..." Kurt cuts back in. "This is Satan and Quinn," Rachel smiled at the name slip and turned to meet the other person. "They're two of our best agents here so if you have any questions about clients and projects, feel free to ask them." Kurt explained. "And Santana, Rachel might be new to this group but she is still your superior so you best behave yourself because I have no problem suspending you again." Kurt warned without backing down.

"Gotcha boss." Santana replied clearly agitated.

"Now we have that taken care of..." Kurt continued as Rachel tuned him out. She was trying to get a good grasp of the place and people. She looked around the room, mentally taking notes of everyone's little perk. For instant, she noticed that Santana and Brittany are secretly hooking up by the way the Latina's arm would slide under the table and the blonde would twitch and blush. 'Wonder what's happening there...' Rachel thought amusingly. Then there's this tall guy in the back of the room looking as if he's lost. He looks daze half the time. 'Could be high.' Rachel shrugged off her thoughts. She continues to look around and her eyes fell upon hazel green eyes that were looking right back at her. Rachel quickly looks away for she has been caught staring.

"Quinn's gorgeous isn't she?" Rachel was startled at the voice behind her. Brittany. Apparently she's been so engross in her people watching that she didn't realize that the meeting had been adjourn and people are getting up and leaving.

"Uh...yeah. I guess." Rachel stumbles to answer the blondes comment, as she wasn't really sure what to say. She hasn't really noticed much about the other blonde girl, other then she had beautiful eyes. Beautiful, soul searching hazel green eyes.
