Chapter 1: Red Rover
Opening Music: Stevie Wonder- Signed Sealed Delivered
Summer 1970
Cheers filled the air as the four girls stared at the every growing chain in front of them. They had just lost their 5th teammate and as they share grim glances at each other, they know this next turn is do or die.
Quinn breaks the silence, "Alright, who's it gunna be?"
The girls all turn and look across at the endless line of faces. Decisions, decisions…they needed this one, who was their best shot?
Santana feels like a chump with what she's about to say, but she knows it's their only real shot. She turns to her three best friends and put it out there. "Kurt Hummel."
Rachel gags, "Gross! He's always picking his nose, and eating his boogers!"
Quinn gives Santana a slight nod, "So what- he's a wimp."
The girls internally sigh, but agree as they turn around to face their fate.
"Red rover red rover send Kurt Hummel right over!" groans immediately filled the air as the other team is annoyed that the girls took the easy way out, but they're still rooting for their team so the groans steadily change into cheers for Kurt. The small boy gathers himself up and looks at the four girls with a bit of fear but he gathers his courage and starts running full force towards the chain of girls.
Santana and Brittany flank Rachel and Quinn, as Kurt speeds towards the Rachel-Quinn connection, knowing that if he has any shot at all, it's near Rachel… and he DEFINITELY doesn't want a piece of Santana. The girls brace themselves; Santana throws out her best glare and Britt holding tightly onto Quinn's hand bubbling at the excitement of the moment.
Rachel stumbles for a moment as Kurt collides into them, but a quick glance into Quinn's eyes and the tight squeeze on her hand from Santana and she feels a surge of adrenaline, and they hold their ground, throwing the small boy to the ground in front of them. Ecstatic, the motley crew of best friends' cheers, whoops, and yells their victory; even Quinn and Santana forgetting their badass facades and letting the pure joy of the moment overcome them.
Lying flat on his back, Kurt looks up at the gleeful faces of Santana, Rachel, Quinn, and Brittany jumping up and down with pure excitement, and sighs.
Author's Note: This is an AU crack fic of the 1995 movie Now and Then. It was one of my favorite movies growing up, being that Now and Then is pretty much the defining coming of age movie for girls who grew up in the 90's. I've only recently gotten into reading fanfics because of Glee, and I thought I would try my hand at turning this most excellent movie into a Brittana/Faberry story for us all. Please bear with me, as I'm an architect not a writer, and I hope you all enjoy!
