Hey this is a new idea that's been poking around my brain recently. I decided to put it in writing. Let me know if you like it. There may be some inaccuracies about a court preceding. Please overlook this. If you are going to leave a review please be kind. Disclaimer: I do not own Glee.

Brittany runs through the hospital trying to get to the plastic surgery section in time. Santana can't get those implants. She is perfect the way she is and she's still got some growing to do. How could her parents approve of this?

Brittany throws the door open finding Santana quickly "Santana don't do this. You're perfect the way you are. You don't need these breast implants San."

Santana frowns "I want boys to notice me more Brittany. This is the only thing I can do."

Brittany shakes her head "You don't need them Santana. If they don't see how awesome you are the way you are right now then it's there loss. There a bunch of idiots. Any boy would be lucky to have you, the unenhanced you."

Santana grits her teeth "This is my body, my decision Brittany. I am doing this. GO HOME."

Brittany's eyes widen beginning to water "You don't have to yell at me."

Brittany spins running away from Santana tears beginning to fall. Santana watches groaning slightly, What have I done?

The nurse comes out "Santana Lopez."

Santana turns to the nurse then to the door, I'll talk to her later. Santana follows the nurse into the room.

Antonio Lopez is standing in the hallway talking to another doctor when Brittany runs by him tears streaming down her face. What happened to her? Did she just come from the Plastic Surgery wing? Antonio walks up to a nearby computer looking up patients the doctors would be working on.

When his daughters name is seen he growls "Oh hell no. What is she doing on the patient list?"

Antonio calls the front desk of the department waiting for an answer "If any of your doctors cut into my daughter I will make sure they lose their license. Santana is a minor and needs a parents signature for such things. I did not consent. I will be there in a second my daughter better not be on the table."

Antonio hangs up the phone storming towards the Plastic Surgery wing.

Brittany slinks into her house walking straight to her room, Thank goodness for motocross starting next week. I can't wait to get out of here. Dropping on to her bed she looks around Where is Lord Tubbington?

Standing up she calls "Lord T. Where are you?"

Walking around the house she finds him hiding behind a side table against the wall "There you are?" Raising his head he mews softly, Brittany asks "What's wrong boy?" he drops his head mewing again.

Brittany picks him up heading to her car putting him on her passenger seat "I'll get you the help you need."

Brittany drives to the vet rushing in "Help. There is something wrong with my cat."

The person at the front desk looks at the weak body in Brittany's arm "I'll get the vet right away."

The person disappears in the back coming back with the vet "Hello. Lets get this guy looked over. When did you notice there was a problem?"

Brittany shakes her head "He was fine when I left the house this morning. I got home ten minutes ago didn't find him in my room, where he usually is. When I found him he was hiding behind a side table like this."

The vet nods looking him over "I'm going to have to draw blood to do some tests."

Brittany nods "Okay."

The vet draws some blood "I will be right back."

Brittany pats the cat "It's okay Lord Tubbington you're going to be okay."

Lord Tubbington mews weakly closing his eyes. Tears pool in Brittany's eyes. Please don't leave me Lord T.

The cat opens his eyes looking at Brittany, Brittany chokes "I love you."

Lord Tubbington mews closing his eyes again.

Brittany knew he wouldn't open his eyes again "Thank you for being the best cat a girl could ask for."

Brittany kisses the top of his head petting him some more.

When the vet returns she freezes looking at the scene in front of her checking for a pulse she whispers "I'm so sorry."

Brittany looks up her eyes brimming with unshed tears "I told him he was going to be okay. I lied to him."

The vet sits down "You were trying to comfort him. He would understand."

Brittany stands up taking the collar of him and putting it in her purse "What do I do know?"

The vet stands "We can take care of his body if you like."

Brittany asks "What will you do to him?"

The vet shrugs "Cremate him."

Brittany's eyes widen "You're going to light him on fire?"

The vet comforts "He won't feel a thing. He is already gone. This is just his body. He is in a better place now."

Brittany shakes her head running from the room, Could this day get any worse?

Brittany drops to the ground outside the vets office her body unable to carry her further. Her tears now streaming down her face distorting her vision.

A soft voice asks "Brittany what's wrong?"

Brittany looks up to see the blurry form of a long haired brunette "Hey Mackenzie. Lord Tubbington just died."

Mackenzie sits beside Brittany "I am so sorry Brittany. Let me take you home."

Brittany nods softly trying to stand but falling back to the ground. Mackenzie wraps her arms around Brittany's waist lifting her up.

Mackenzie asks "Where's your car Brittany?"

Brittany looks around blinking to try and clear her vision. Her eyes clear enough to spot her truck. Brittany chokes on her words so she points in the right direction. Mackenzie guides them to the truck helping Brittany into the passenger seat and putting her seat belt on. When Mackenzie gets in the drivers seat Brittany hands her keys over. By the time they pull up to Brittany's house the girl has calmed. Mackenzie parks turning off the truck and handing Brittany her keys.

Brittany looks at the brunette "Thank you. Do you want to come in? I really don't want to be alone."

Mackenzie smiles softly "Sure."

Brittany walks to the front door unlocking it and letting Mackenzie in first. Mackenzie takes off her shoes heading to the livingroom and sitting on the couch.

Brittany joins her guest in the livingroom "Do you want to watch a movie or something?"

Mackenzie shrugs "Sure if you want to. Do you have The Little Mermaid? I haven't seen it in a while."

Brittany smiles "I love that movie."

Just as Ariel is giving up her voice for legs Brittany is on top of Mackenzie in the throws of a make out session. Both girls completely unaware of their surroundings not hearing the front door open.

A mans stern "What the hell is going on in here?"

Brittany jumps off Mackenzie landing on the floor at the other end of the couch "Uh hi dad. This is Mackenzie."

The man growls "I don't care what her name is." Looking at the girl he demands "Get out of my house. NOW."

Brittany flinches at the yelling mouthing 'I'm sorry' as the girl walks past her.

Carter stands with his arms crossed "What was that? What if Andrea was here? I will not have her walking in on that shenanigans. Get out. This is no longer your house."

Brittany goes to go upstairs for some of her things.

Her dad stops her "Where do you think you're going?"

Brittany turns "To get my stuff."

Carter shakes his head "Nope. I consider what is in your closet hand me downs for Andrea. You're done. Out. NOW."

Brittany looks at her mom for help.

The woman shakes her head "I agree with your father. What we walked in on was extremely inappropriate. I can't have Andrea seeing that. You need to go."

Brittany looks between her parents in shock "Seriously. I'm sorry. Please don't make me leave. It won't happen again. I'll make sure we are in my room."

Carter shakes his head "No. I will not have you parading a girl in the house. Andrea is known to walk into your room unannounced. I don't want you living under MY ROOF. GET OUT. Oh and give me your cell phone. You no longer fit under Family Plan credentials."

Brittany pulls her phone out of her pocket slapping it into his hands and grabbing her truck keys.

Brittany pouts "This is so unfair. Can I load my bikes in my truck? Or are those Andreas now too?"

Carter growls "Why would I want Andrea on those death traps? I'll help you load them up then you're gone."

When the bikes are loaded Carter says "Good luck on the circuit. Be safe."

Brittany starts the truck driving away. At the stop sign at the end of the street Brittany looks both ways, Where am I supposed to go now?

Brittany pulls up to the Lima Campground office "Hi. Do you have a campground available?"

The attendant frowns "I'm sorry we are all full."

Brittany smiles "Thank you."

Brittany does a u-turn heading away from the camp ground. Brittany taps at the steering wheel thinking. She pulls in to a hotel locking her car door she heads to the office.

Brittany smiles "Hi. Do you have a room available?"

The clerk clicks his tongue "You have to be eighteen to rent a room. Are you eighteen?"

Brittany pouts "No."

The clerk shakes his head "Sorry but no."

Brittany turns around heading to her truck. She tries the other hotels in Lima getting the same answer as the first. Brittany buys a newspaper circling For Rent adds. The next day she finds she needs to be eighteen for all of them. Brittany groans, What am I supposed to do? I have no where to go.

Santana hits redial on her phone trying to get a hold of Brittany. Pick up, pick up. Please Britt. A voice recording kicks in This number is no longer in service. Please hang up and try your call again. Santana looks at the phone, What the heck? The number was working this morning.

Antonio walks in "What were you thinking? A breast implant. Santana you are still growing you don't know what you will look like. You forged my signature. Give me your phone you are grounded."

Santana shrieks "What? You can't take my phone. I need to fix things with Brittany. I yelled at her. She hates getting yelled at."

Antonio folds his arms "I figured something happened when she ran by me crying. That's what made me check what procedures were being done. Your phone Santana."

Santana groans slapping the phone into her fathers hand and storming up to her room.

Santana sneaks out of her room grabbing the cordless phone in the hallway then bolting back to her room. She quickly dials a number.

The person answers "Hello."

Santana whispers "Q I need you to go to Brittany's house. I called her phone earlier and got a this number is no longer in service message. I got grounded and can't go."

Quinn asks "What did you get grounded for?"

Santana huffs "There's no time for that. Go to Brittany's and find out what is going on."

Quinn sighs "Fine. I'll go. You could be nicer about asking for help."

Santana growls "Yeah, yeah just go to Brittany's."

Fifteen minutes after Santana calls Quinn there is a knock at the door.

Mrs Lopez answers "Hello Quinn. How are you?"

Quinn smiles "I'm fine thank you Mrs Lopez. Is Santana here?"

Mrs Lopez frowns "Santana is grounded Quinn. Perhaps you could come back later."

Quinn sighs "Please Mrs Lopez it's really important."

Mrs Lopez shakes her head "I'm sorry Quinn I can't let you see Santana."

Quinn looks further into the house noticing feet at the top of the stairs "It's about Brittany."

Quick shuffling is heard from the stairs followed by Santana appearing beside her mom "What about Brittany?"

Quinn informs "Brittany got kicked out this afternoon. Mr Pierce took her phone. He said she no longer fits under Family Plan criteria."

Santana gasps "What? Why? Where is she?"

Quinn shrugs "I don't know. There isn't very many places for her to go no hotel will take her she isn't eighteen. If she didn't come here you must have done something to make her feel like she shouldn't."

Santana closes her eyes "I yelled at her. She was telling me not to do something stupid and I yelled at her."

Quinn's eyes widen "You yelled at her. She hates getting yelled at."

Santana shakes her head "Don't you think I know that? You have to go find Brittany. Please."

Quinn nods "You didn't have to say please for that one but thank you for being nice about it."

Quinn turns running down the front steps and back to her car.

Three days later at one of Brittany's motocross races Brittany is working on her bike when she hears "Are you Brittany Pierce?"

Brittany looks up at a dark haired man in a suit "Yeah."

The man nods "I was told to give you this."

The man holds out a manilla envelope with Brittany Pierce scrolled across it. Brittany takes it from him opening her mouth to thank the man who promptly spins and walks away before she can. Brittany opens the envelope pulling out the contents a little bit until she sees Filing for Emancipation on the title page. Brittany's eyes fill with tears causing her to close them and take a few deep breathes, Keep your head in the game Brittany. You need to focus. Brittany wins the series of races that day.

Brittany gets herself a salad from the grocery store looking through the papers until she gets to the last page where there is a note This is what is best for everybody. Be at 384 Trighton Street at 2pm on July 10. Carter Pierce.

Brittany wipes a few tears from her eyes, They don't want me anymore. I should get a phone so I can set a reminder for myself.

Brittany is looking at all the phones "Excuse me. I need a prepaid cell phone. Which is the best cheapest phone you have?"

The clerk looks at all the selections holding up a white phone "I would say this one right here. If you slide it up like this you have access to a key pad. There is a 4.8 mega pixel camera. It is 4G so you can browse online. Right now our cheapest card is thirty five dollars you'll have unlimited talk and text, roaming will cost thirty nine cents a minute, and you'll get fifty mega bites of data."

Brittany nods "I'll take that then. Thank you."

After the phone is set up and ready to use Brittany thanks the clerk and walks away. Once she is back in her truck she sets a reminder for July 10. Pulling away she doesn't notice a black SUV following her.

Brittany pulls into the parking lot of her next race turning off the car and stretching out on her seat closing her eyes. The person following her sits in the vehicle pulling out a cell phone.

Once someone on the other end answers the voice starts "Brittany just pulled into the Plentwood Track parking lot. No I think she is going to sleep there. I saw her at the mall getting a cell phone. I haven't spoken to her. How am I supposed to get the cell phone number without her knowing I'm here? I can't do that. She thinks she is safe in her car if I break in she won't feel safe. Do you want her to get so spooked she gets further away?"

The person listens for a couple minutes before hanging up the phone. The SUV pulls away heading to the nearest hotel, which luckily was across the street.

The next day the driver of the SUV checks out of the hotel room climbing into the vehicle. A silver car pulls up beside it.

The window rolls down "Where is she?"

The person in the SUV points across the street to a light blue truck with two motorbikes in the back.

After the race, which Brittany wins, the SUV driver joins the driver of the silver car "Are we going to talk to her?"

The driver of the silver car shakes their head "Nope. She can't know we are watching her. Let the boss know we found Brittany and are keeping an eye on her. She'll want Brittany staying in Lima so let's look at the paper and see if we can set something up for her. It has to be in a safe place."

The SUV driver nods "Alright I'll get on it."

Brittany is looking at the paper when she sees a trailer for rent, I should go check it out. Brittany starts her truck heading towards the trailers location.

Brittany walks into the office "Hi I noticed in the paper you had a trailer for rent."

The person looks up "Are you even eighteen?"

Brittany frowns shaking her head. Everything is eighteen.

The person shakes their head "Sorry can't help you kid."

Brittany sighs "Thank you."

Brittany jumps back in her truck driving away.

Someone climbs out of a black SUV heading into a building with a For Rent sign posted "How are you today?"

The person at the desk smiles "I'm good how are you?"

The response comes "Good. The girl that just left what did she say to you?"

The person behind the desk furrows their brow "She asked about the trailer we had for rent. We can't rent to people under the age of eighteen."

The SUV driver nods "Thank you. Have a nice day."

Walking out of the building the person pulls out their phone "Yeah it's me. It was a no. They can't rent to people under the age of eighteen."

The voice on the other end says "Her emancipation trial is today isn't it?"

The SUV driver confirms "Yeah."

The voice orders "I want you there. Stay in the back and leave before Brittany sees you."

The SUV driver answers "Yes ma'am. What do we do about Brittany's living situation?"

The voice sighs "I'll take care of that."

Brittany arrives at the court house half an hour early. Taking a deep breath she exits her truck and walks up the steps. Where do I go?

A red haired woman walks up to her "Are you Brittany Pierce?"

Brittany looks at her "Miss Pillsbury. What are you doing here?"

The woman furrows her brow "I'm not Miss Pillsbury. I'm Elise Montgomery I'll be representing you."

Brittany frowns "Oh. Okay. So you know where I'm supposed to go then."

The woman nods leading Brittany into the court room.

Once the judge has come in she looks at Brittany "So I understand you have filed for an emancipation from your parents. Is there any particular reason why?"

Brittany furrows her brow looking over at her parents "I got kicked out for making out with a girl. My parents don't want me being a bad influence on my little sister. Andrea can walk into my room as she pleases so simply keeping it in the bedroom will not work. I refuse to change who I am for them."

The judge takes in Brittany's baffled look "You didn't file these papers, did you Brittany?"

Brittany shakes her head "No. I was waiting for my motocross race to start when a man in a suit gave me an envelope. When I opened it there were papers about filing for emancipation and a note that said to come here and this was for the best."

The judge looks over at Carter and his wife "Was this your doing?"

The man nods "It is. Brittany is no longer a part of this family. It was either this or disowning her. This was easier."

The judge frowns "I see. Well this may have been easier but it will not be cheaper. You will pay for both the cost of your lawyer and hers as well as put twenty thousand dollars in a trust that Brittany will be able to access when she is eighteen. You will not be able to close or remove funds from this trust. If you insist on hanging her out to dry this is your fee."

Carter shrugs "It will be well worth it if you ask me."

The judge quips "I didn't ask you. This emancipation is approved court dismissed."

Brittany stands up bowing her head when she overhears "Good riddance" mumbled from her father. Brittany climbs into the truck, Onto the next race.

A knock on her window startles Brittany. Rolling down her window she asks "Can I help you?"

The man smiles "Are you Brittany Pierce?"

Brittany sighs, Great more bad news, "Yes."
