A/N So, in my Zombigeddon story one line really made me think. It was when Rachel said, "I'm glad that Finn and I got into a fight that night. If we hadn't then I wouldn't have wandered into Rocky's apartment, though I wish Finn hadn't died." I wondered what exactly would have happened if Finchel hadn't got into an argument. Hence this story. It's basically an alternate universe to Zombigeddon so they'll be similar, possibly to a point I haven't planned much for this yet, but different. If you guys enjoy this then I'll keep going with it.
The story is the same as the original until chapter 4.
Chapter 1
The Glee Club had made it through Ohio and Indiana without any kind of incident. They managed to get gas and supplies without any losses and few bullets used. They were now in Illinois and were very close to Chicago.
The kids were all scattered on the bus, most of them in the front with couples sitting together, Puck was driving at the time. Quinn noticed Santana sitting in the back and decided it was the best time to talk to her.
She walked to the Latina, who saw Quinn and quickly faced out the window, crossing her arms. Quinn sighed, "Santana."
"Go away."
"Santana, are you seriously pissed at me?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"You know why!"
Quinn sat beside her, but Santana moved closer to the window. "You really think I used you?"
The brunette turned to glare at her, "I know you did."
"S, you know I'm not like that."
"What am I supposed to think Quinn? I wake up with a hangover and you're naked in my bed with me."
"Okay, I don't deny that we had sex, but I didn't use you."
"Stop lying, Q."
"Do you seriously not remember anything but the sex?" Santana shook her head and Quinn sighed. "Okay, look San, I...I do remember what happened before that. I told you that I love you."
Santana's eyes widened, "What?"
Quinn nodded and felt her face flush. "I've always loved you S, but at first I was just nervous because of my Dad and it was so obvious to me that you were in love with Brittany that I didn't think I should tell you and make it all awkward between us and-"
Santana cut off Quinn's rambling by pressing their lips together. Quinn melted into Santana and felt the Latina straddle her lap. "Santana!"
"I love you too Quinn. That's why I was so upset because I thought you used me."
"You know, you're new best friend is wanting to stop some place and sleep in actual beds. Why don't we go up and help her. I'm sick of sleeping in these seats and I'd like to sleep in a bed with you. And you know, sleep."
"Aw, well there goes my plans." Santana winked playfully and Quinn rolled her eyes.
"Come on you." Quinn pushed Santana up but the Latina dropped back into her lap.
"Nu uh. I'm not sleeping in a bed with you unless you agree to be my girlfriend." Santana said.
Quinn smiled and kissed her, "Yes."
"Good." Santana said as she pulled away. She stood up and helped her new girlfriend to her feet then the duo walked to the front of the bus.
"Rachel, I really don't think that's a good idea." Puck was saying.
"Noah, I'm so tired of sleeping on these seats." Rachel argued.
"She's got a point, Puck. I'd really like to sleep in a bed." Quinn said.
"With me?" Puck grinned at her.
"Back off my girl, Puckerman." Santana growled.
"You're dating Quinn, Santana?" Rachel questioned.
"Yeah, she is. You have a problem with it Rachel?" Quinn almost glared.
"No, no! I was just confirming what you meant." Rachel raised her hands in a surrendering gesture.
"Calm down, Q. Look, Puck, what's the problem with stopping somewhere?" Santana asked.
"Well for one thing there's zombies out there."
"We can clear the place before we sleep and if there's too many we just drive off okay? It's not going to be a problem."
"All right fine."
The group stopped at an apartment building in Chicago and easily cleared it out. Each couple had their own room and the single people roomed with each other. Brittany and Artie were next to Quinn and Santana, with Rachel and Finn on the other side of them.
Rachel sat on the bed and sighed. She could hear Quinn and Santana through the wall and they were doing more than just talking. She loved that Santana was happy and all, but she wished she could unhear the things she's hearing.
Obviously Finn didn't like it either because he seemed to be glaring at their wall. He'd already pounded on the wall and told them to quiet down, to which he got some harsh words from the Latina.
"Finn, calm down." Rachel said.
"I don't want to hear that crap!" Finn pointed at the wall behind Rachel.
"Well, I don't exactly what to hear it either, but they're happy together. Look, why don't we go take a walk until their done."
After a moment of thought Finn nodded and the couple left their room.
On the other side of Quinn and Santana's room Brittany and Artie could also hear the new couple. However it was slightly muffled for them since the bed was on the wall separating Rachel's room from Santana's. Of course Brittany didn't care because she was to happy for her friends. Artie, however, was slightly irritated from it, but was doing a good job of ignoring it. Better than Finn anyway.
"Don't you think Quinn and Sannie will have cute kids?" Brittany asked randomly, but serious.
Artie was taken back, "What?"
Brittany nodded, "Once all this zombie stuff is done I bet they'll get married."
"Um...Brittany I don't think the zombie 'stuff' will be done anytime soon."
"What do you mean?" The blonde looked at him with a frown.
"We haven't seen anyone since we got on the road. It's more than likely that we will die." Artie said, forgetting how delicate Brittany can be.
"What? No. The military will fix everything and we'll go back to normal."
Artie sighed, "Brittany, don't be stupid. Things won't ever be the same. Mr. Schue and Mercedes are dead."
"I...did you just call me stupid?"
Artie's eyes widened slightly, " What? No I didn't mean it like that."
"I'm not stupid!" Brittany jumped to her feet and ran out of the room, on the verge of tears. The door slammed behind her.
"Brittany wait!" By the time Artie got the door open Brittany was gone. Shaking his head, he headed down the hallway, unknowingly going in the opposite direction the blonde went.
Brittany rushed into a room and slammed the door behind her. She saw a couch and immediately laid on it, hugging the couch pillow to her chest. The dancer let a few tears fall, wiping her face on the pillow. She heard a thump and jumped. Brittany sat up and looked around the room. She saw a figure walking towards her, but couldn't make out any details. The only light she got was from the street light outside and how that was still on she would never know. She reached over and flipped on the lamp on the table.
The blonde let out a shriek as she discovered the figure was a zombie. He stumbled towards her and she threw the pillow at him. It bounced off his head, but didn't phase him. It reached the couch, stretching it's arms to grab her. Brittany screamed and curled up in a hopeless way to defend herself. A loud bam caused her to jump and looked up. The zombie dropped to the floor, a bullet hole in the side of his head. Brittany looked around and saw a girl standing in a doorway in the corner. She was in a dirty blue shirt, dark with dried blood, and blue jeans. She stood shakily, the gun trembling with her body. It's a wonder she managed to hit her target. Even from the distance Brittany could see the tears running down the girl's face.
Hesitantly she stood up, "Thank you." When the girl didn't answer she frowned. "Are you okay?"
Instead of answering the girl dropped to her knees and started bawling. Always the caring one, Brittany quickly knelt next to her and wrapped her arms around the girl, who dropped the gun and wrapped her arms around the blondes waist and buried her face in Brittany's neck. She just rubbed the girl's back and let her cry.
After ten minutes of searching, Artie sighed and stopped his chair. He had ended up in an area the group hadn't explored. It was a lounge area with a table, a couch, and a few vending machines. He spun around when he heard footsteps coming.
He was met with an out of breath Finn. "Artie, there you are."
"Finn? What're you doing here?" Artie questioned.
"Quinn and Santana heard you and Brittany. They went with Rachel to find Brittany and I went looking for you."
"Did they find her?"
Finn shrugged, "I haven't seen them since I started looking for you."
An eerie groan got there attention. Artie couldn't see behind Finn because the taller boy was blocking the path. When Finn turned around he was met with a very undead woman coming at his face. Out of instinct he ducked to the side and shoved the zombie behind him. Directly onto Artie, who was too shocked to shove the woman off and lost a chunk of his neck.
"Oh, shit, Artie!" Finn stood shocked for a moment before turning on his heel and running.
When the girl finally had no tears left she slowly pulled herself from Brittany's grip. The blonde just smiled at her, "Are you okay now?"
The girl shook her head in response, "I just shot my brother because he was trying to eat you."
"Your brother?"
"He'd been taking care of me ever since we lost our parents. But then he got bitten and I….just couldn't do it. I was hiding in my room when I heard you scream. I couldn't let him hurt you…"
Brittany gave her a warm, but small, smile, "And I'm so happy you couldn't. But I'm sorry you had to do that...my friends have to protect me too because I can't do that.."
"Friends? What friends?"
"Oh! I'm here with my friends. We're heading to Witchy Falls."
The girl frowned, slightly confused, "Do you mean Wichita Falls?"
Brittany giggled, "That's what I said silly!" Brittany looked at the girl as a realization came to her. "Wait, if he was protecting you what're you going to do now?"
"I...I'm not sure."
"Why don't you come with me and my friends? We'll keep you safe."
"I don't want to impose."
Brittany was confused at the word, but shook her head, "Come with us. You can't stay here alone."
The girl thought for a moment then nodded, "Okay...When are you leaving?"
"Tomorrow."
"I better go get some things. You can stay here with me if you want. Um...this is kind of awkward but what's your name?"
"Brittany. What's your name?"
"Rocky."
"But you don't look rocky."
Rocky was taken aback, but gave the blonde a smile, "It's just a nickname my best friend gave me when we were kids because she didn't like my real name."
"Oh. Where's your best friend now?" Brittany asked.
"She went on vacation with her family and I can't get in touch with her. Maybe she's heading to Wichita too."
Brittany nodded. She went to say something but she heard her name from the hallway. " Did you hear that?"
"I think someone's calling you."
The two girls went to the door and Brittany opened it. They poked their heads outside and saw three people walking down the hall, backs to them. Luckily Brittany recognized them from the back.
"Santana! Rachie! Quinn! I'm here!"
The trio spun around and upon seeing the blonde Santana ran back to the door and wrapped her in a hug. "Oh, thank God! Do you know how worried I was about you!?"
"Britt! Where the hell were you!?" Quinn worriedly questioned when she caught up to them, with Rachel next to her.
"Whose this?" The diva questioned, seeing Rocky somewhat hiding behind Brittany.
Brittany pulled back from Santana and wrapped an arm around Rocky's waist, pulling her next to her. "This is Rocky. She's not really rocky though it's just a nickname. She saved me from her zombie brother and she's going to come with us to Witchy falls."
"Wichita Falls." Rocky corrected softly.
"That's what I said."
The conversation was halted when the girls heard quick and heavy footsteps coming towards them. Finn ran up to Rachel and leaned over, out of breath.
"Finn, where's Artie?" Rachel questioned.
"I...he got bitten."
"What?" Brittany's eyes went wide as she looked at him.
"When I found him there was this woman taking a bite out of his neck… Sorry Brittany."
When Brittany started to cry Santana and Quinn were both prepared to hug her, but were both shocked when she turned and grabbed Rocky. Immediately Rocky started rubbing her back and whispering comforting words into her ear.
Jade looked out the window and saw the "Welcome to Utah" sign. Robbie and Trina were in the front driving the R.V and she was hoping the two of them didn't screw up. She looked over at their new "companion", who was smacking her phone.
"CeCe, what are you doing?" Tori asked the new redhead.
"My phones dead."
"And smacking it will recharge the battery?"
"No, I know it won't. I just..."
"What is it?" Cat asked.
"My best friend is in Chicago right now and I really want to call her and make sure she's okay." CeCe said.
Tori dug in her pocket and picked out her cell phone, holding it to the curly redhead, "Here, use mine."
"I.." CeCe's face turned to match her hair. "I don't know her number."
"How do you not know your best friends number?" Jade asked, crossing her arms.
"I..I have dyslexia." She looked down at the floor.
"My sister was dyslexic." Jade told her.
"Really?"
"Sister?" Tori looked over at her girlfriend.
"Isabella. When we were younger there was a fire and she didn't make it out." I told her. "Don't say you're sorry. It's alright. But I know how hard it is to be dyslexic. Look, the next time we stop we'll looking for a phone place and we'll try and find you a charger."
"Really? Thanks, Jade." CeCe smiled.
"Yeah, don't thank me." Jade reverted back to her cold ways.
Tori moved to sit on the couch next to Jade and slipped her hand in the Goth's. Jade smiled slightly but faded when she felt CeCe's eyes on her. "Problem?"
"You two are dating?"
"Tori's my girlfriend. I love her."
"That's nice."
"You have issues with that?"
"No! I mean, it's great that you're happy. I just haven't met a girl couple is all."
Andre happened to take off his headphones at that time. "Girl couple? What'd I miss?"
"Nothing, Andre." Tori said. "Beck still taking a nap?"
"Yeah, I think so. His eyes are closed at least. Where are we?"
"Just entered Utah." Jade told him.
"So, you guys all came from a performing arts high school?" CeCe asked.
"Yeah. We're all actors. Everyone but Beck are singers and Trina is the only one that sucks ass." Andre said.
"Guys. What do you think happened to Sikowitz?" Cat asked.
"Sikowitz? He's probably hiding in a tree house somewhere with a butt load of coconuts." Tori offered.
"Or his stupid visions let him see this happen and he went into hiding." Jade shrugged.
"I'm sure he's fine where ever he is Little Red." Andre said.
Cat pulled out her bag of candy and started eating away at her Bibble. Jade sighed, "Cat, you have to go easy on those. We don't know when we'll find more."
"But they're so good!" Cat whined.
"I know but don't eat to many."
Cat nodded, but didn't slow down her eating.
"Do you guys have enough weapons?" CeCe asked.
"We have pistols." Tori said.
"Five. Robbie and Cat don't have any." Jade said.
Andre chuckled. "Oh, come on. Robbie would probably shoot his foot off and Cat wouldn't be able to shoot someone."
"I don't like the idea of going out there with no weapon." CeCe said.
"Every time we go to a gun shop or something it's already been cleared out. If you need something to make you feel better we can check the gun shop and if they don't have any well try and find you a baseball bat or something." Tori said.
"That'd make me feel better."
"Wait, we still have Beck's golf club." Andre said.
"No, Robbie takes that."
"Oh, yeah."
"Look, when we get to a town we'll check around. Until then let's not worry about it." Jade said. "We're almost in Kansas."
"Baby, do you think my parents are there?" Tori asked.
Jade sighed and squeezed her hand gently. "I don't know baby."
"I hope so..."
The Goth kissed her girlfriend's head and held her close. "Me too."
