A/N- This is kind of a revised version of a previous story I had (that didn't get finished due to other things coming up). It's still technically my first fan fic and reviews and opinions on the story and writing are veeerrrrrryyyyy appreciated.

I still love Glee but in my opinion season 2 leaves a lot to be desired in the storyline department, so this is kind of an alternate Season 2. At the beginning Finn is with Rachel, Puck with Quinn, and Quinn is back on the cheerleading team. This first chapter is mainly introducing a new Glee club member.

Chapter 1- Sister

Rachel sat in the Glee room on Monday morning, excitedly telling her boyfriend Finn about the ideas she was going to give Mr. Schue regarding the upcoming Sectionals.

"It may be months away yet," she told Finn, "but certain members of this club, by which I mean everyone other than myself, have a tendency to lay back and think practice doesn't matter. So not true! Even the naturally talented," she smiled and gestured to herself, "have to have some kind of regular practice in order to maintain a consistently high level of performance."

"You're talented, and pretty," said Finn.

"Why thank you Finn." Rachel smiled and leant in for a kiss. Of course she knew he was barely listening, his warm brown eyes weren't completely focused, but she liked having someone to talk to even if they just pretended to listen. Someone who didn't tell her to stop talking. She kissed Finn softly for a moment her eyes shut. They had been officially going out since Regional's; as much as their loss to Vocal Adrenaline stung- personally for Rachel- having Finn now made it better.

"Very pretty," Finn muttered as they broke the kiss.

Rachel smiled again and opened her eyes. Only Finn wasn't looking at her. Rachel spun her head around to where he was looking, the Glee room entrance. Mr. Schue had entered, wearing one of his vests over a white shirt. For a moment she thought Finn was perving on Mr. Schue and although she couldn't blame him it weirded her out. But then she noticed a girl she had never seen before standing behind him.

The girl was slender and fair skinned, with wavy dark brown hair and light eyes. She was wearing a short, flowy white dress and a black jacket. She was very pretty as Finn said, but Rachel hoped he hadn't been checking her out during their kiss.

"Everyone this is Luce," said Mr. Schue, bringing her to the centre of the room. She didn't look totally nervous, her arms were wrapped around her waist but her eyes moved slowly across the seated Glee club members, making eye contact. The name Luce sounded familiar to Rachel, but as Luce's eyes landed on her, she was sure she had never seen her before.

"Luce is starting at McKinley today, and she's joining Glee," Mr. Schue continued. Rachel noticed he seemed nervous, he was holding his hands tightly together in front of himself and his eyes darting around. "Let's give her a warm welcome."

"Have I…" Puck, who was beside Finn started to say. "Seen you before?"

Luce looked to Puck, and Mr. Schue started fiddling with his shirt collar. Rachel knew the signs of nervousness very well, she saw it in other members of the Glee club all the time before they performed. Mr. Schue was nervous about Luce for some reason. Was she a rubbish singer? Oh, Mr. Schue lets anyone into Glee! fumed Rachel.

Luce continued to stare at Puck, and then she gave a faint smile. I recognize that smile… thought Rachel. The way her mouth was slightly upturned while her eyes remained focused. She tried to place the smile, which was hard because she was still positive she had never seen Luce before today. Although something about her was vaguely familiar.

"I remember you from Regional's," Luce answered Puck in a light voice. At least her voice wasn't the same tone as Rachel's. Not many people could match her voice, but she still hated competition. She didn't remember Luce from Regional's however, and she knew the names of every member of their competition.

"You weren't from Vocal Adrenaline or Aural Intensity," Rachel said to her.

"My brother is."

Rachel immediately placed the smile and realized what was vaguely familiar about her. "Oh my god you're Jesse's sister," she said quietly. Jesse little sister. He'd mentioned her name but Rachel had never seen her. Sister of the boy who broke Rachel's heart and proved he didn't have one himself. Rachel had so much in common with Jesse- talent, ambition, interests- except Rachel had heart and he didn't. Performing was pretty much everything to her, but she would never put someone she cared about in front of it. Then again, had Jesse ever cared for her?

"Jesse's sister!" Finn and Puck cried at the same time.

"What the hell?" Puck questioned, staring at Mr. Schue and holding his hands up as if he thought Mr. Schue was nuts.

Every Glee member except Rachel glared daggers at Luce, who looked down at the floor to avoid them. Mr. Schue held up his hands defensively. "Guys Luce transferred here and is a student just like all of you. And that means she has the chance to join whatever clubs she would like to, just like you all did."

"And so she'll get the chance to screw with our chances at Regional's just like her brother did?" Puck said angrily. "Screw with our members?" He looked to Rachel, and she looked away.

"Puck's right," Finn called, angry as well. "We've already done this before, let someone we know is going to betray us betray us."

"We're lucky to even be here this year Mr. Schue," Quinn said, giving her icy scowl to Luce. "Are we going to be grateful, or stupid?"

"Look I know as well as all of you what happened with Jesse. Luce is Jesse's sister, not Jesse." Mr. Schue was speaking more sternly now, and seemed unhappy with reception Luce had got.

Puck fired back at Luce, and Mr. Schue defended her as other members joined in. For years being considered a joke at school and teased by people who didn't really know her, Rachel tried not to judge people she didn't know. But Luce, she had such a clear resemblance to Jesse that it was hard to believe she wouldn't be just like him. Same wavy brown hair except longer, same eyes, same smile. The same smile Jesse had when he cracked an egg over Rachel's head and revealed he had just being using her.

She looked to Luce, who had her arms wrapped around her waist and was staring down at the floor while the Glee members attacked her and Mr. Schue got angry with them. She felt a stab of pity for Luce, Rachel knew what is was like to be ganged up on. Luce looked up and met Rachel's eyes, and Rachel couldn't help picturing Jesse in her mind. She forced Jesse's image away, and Luce was still staring at her. Luce was looking at her, not Jesse. Different person.

"I think she should be allowed to join," Rachel said quietly. Even with all the yelling and angry muttering everyone turned to her.

"Rachel, what?" Finn asked.

She looked at him, and then around to everyone else. "What is Glee Club supposed to be about, aside from the singing and performing?" She raised her eyebrows at them. "Excluding people because of our own ideas about them? Who here has ever talked to Luce before?"

No one spoke for a moment.

"Rachel you were hurt by Jesse the most," Puck said. He pointed to Luce. "That's Jesse Junior. Female."

"And you're Puck junior," Rachel told him. "Did you like people guessing what sort of Dad you would be because of you own?"

He didn't answer.

"Why should we guess what kind of person Luce is based off her brother then?" she asked. "Unless this is our thing now. Putting the club ahead of the members? Ahead of those who want a chance to be a member? Sound like New Directions? It sounds heartless to me. Sounds like Vocal Adrenaline."

She turned from them and stood up. She made her way to Luce and held her hand out and smiled. "Hi, I'm Rachel Berry, star of New Directions."

Luce smiled back, the same as her brother, and held her own hand up.

Glee was more awkward than the time no one but Jacob Israel turned up to Rachel's thirteenth birthday party and he was all pervy to her in front of her dad's who thought it was cute. Luce sang, and had a nice voice, though not quite in the same league as her brother's. Jesse was heartless, but had talent to match Rachel's own.

Apparently Finn and Puck were the only ones Rachel's speech had gotten through to, along with her and Mr. Schue they were the only ones who clapped, and Puck got a glare from Quinn for doing so. Everyone else just glared at her, and Kurt and Mercedes whispered criticisms about her clothes, mainly about how slutty her dress was.

It was only a brief before school meeting, and after Luce sat behind Rachel, Mr. Schue went over some songs he was going to get the club to trial before Sectional's. Suggestions to improve Mr. Schues's choices were ready in Rachel's mind as the bell rang, although he rushed out before she could voice them, something about a Spanish test.

No one stopped to welcome Luce to the club as they walked out. She made to leave by herself, and Rachel, along with Finn and Puck, fell into step around her.

"I'm sorry about the reception you received," Rachel said as they entered the noisy school hall.

Luce shrugged. "Thanks, but it's okay, I know what happened."

Rachel nodded. "Well, okay." It was hard to tell from her voice whether she thought what happened was good or bad. Whether or not she knew her brother was the bad guy. The four walked in silence down the corridor for a moment, even Rachel unsure what to say due to the awkwardness surrounding Jesse.

Puck resorted to what he was best at to break the uncomfortable silence, despite the fact he was supposedly going out with Quinn.

"Hot dress babe," he commented to Luce, whose dress was as short at the bottom as Rachel's skirts, and low enough across the chest that her red bra was visible. INAPROPRIATE FOR SCHOOL thought Rachel. Luce was the same height as Rachel, and Puck seemed to be having no problem looking down her dress. She seemed to have no problem with it. When it's Puck, maybe, but wait until you meet Jacob, thought Rachel. And are you forgetting about your girlfriend Noah? "And I like your bling," he added, looking at her gold necklace.

Luce fingered it. "My brother gave it to me for my birthday." There was definite warmth in the way she said 'my brother'. Rachel was used to Jesse being referred to in a much different tone, and in much harsher language."

Puck seemed to try and move the subject away from Jesse. "So why'd you move here then?" he asked. "Hear about the McKinley High bad boys? Or bad boy? AKA, me?" He grinned at her and jabbed his finger toward himself, flexing his arm as he did. Rachel noted he'd been working out, she bet she could swing of one of those things. She blushed and held onto Finn's arm.

"I was expelled," Luce answered with a frown, then smirked. "I think that makes me more bad than you, Puck."

"Why were you expelled?" Rachel asked, curious and surprised.

Luce bit her lip. "That's private."

"Come on, elaborate babe," said Puck. "Especially if it's something like sex on school property…" He was staring directly down Luce's top. So was Finn. Rachel squeezed his arm a little forcefully.

Luce smiled faintly at Puck. "Sex sex sex. What is it good for? Getting you in trouble, Puck." She raised her eyebrows at him; he didn't seem at all impressed by the comment.

Rachel knew she was alluding to Quinn. How she knew…

"My brother told me about your soap opera scenarios in Glee," she said.

"Your brother was the worst thing that ever happened to Glee Club," Puck snapped at her.

Luce stopped walking in the middle of the hall, and we stopped as well. She spun to face Puck in a vaguely dramatic twirl and scowled at him.

"So Jesse 's been talking about my business?" Puck said angrily to her. "And stop referring to him as 'my brother' like he's even half a decent guy."

Luce and Puck stared off at each other for a moment. She was small, but her stare was intense. She even put her hands on her hips and stuck her bottom lip out, reminding Rachel of a kid. She definitely had her brother's dramatic flair.

"My brother is incredible," she said, and spun around and flounced off through the crowd of students.

"Piss off then," Puck said as she disappeared around a corner. He looked to Finn, who nodded, and then to Rachel, who wasn't sure what to do.

At lunch Rachel sat in the cafeteria at a table by the window, with Quinn, Santana, and Brittany. Finn was trying back out for the football team, something Rachel wasn't too happy about. She was basically considered the biggest loser in school despite the fact she was both pretty and talented, and at the moment Finn was pretty close on the social ladder to her. But if he became quarterback of the football team? He'd be the most popular guy in school again. What the Cheerios would do if nerd Rachel Berry was dating a football player? Try to break them up. She had been meaning to try and dissuade him from rejoining, but her mind had been on Luce, and by association, Jesse.

Normally she wouldn't sit with the Cheerios as they would just tease her, but it was they who had sat with her, basically to bitch about Luce. Rachel didn't think she should have said what she said to Puck, but it wasn't like she knew how sensitive the issue was. She felt a little bad for Luce, she knew what it was like to be ganged up on. So instead of joining the Cheerios in bitching about her, she was reading a book.

But even if Rachel was willing to give her a chance, it was clear Luce being in Glee wasn't going to work. Whether she was like her brother or not, the fact that he was her brother seemed to be the problem. The fact that her brother betrayed our club and did something cruel and nasty to one of the members, and Luce thought he was incredible.

"There she is," Quinn said. Rachel looked over to where Luce had just sat down by herself at the end of a table. Apparently she'd made no friends in any of her morning classes. "God Mr. Schue was out of his mind to bring her into the club," Quinn continued, and Rachel looked back down to my book. "She's obviously up to something. Anyone else think it's weird that she wasn't in Vocal Adrenaline back at Carmel, but as soon as she moves here she joins Glee?"

Rachel snapped her head up from her book. She hadn't thought of that. Quinn was good at seeing the worst in people, and it could come in handy.

"Maybe she…" Rachel started and trailed off. "Maybe she wasn't good enough for Vocal Adrenaline?" she came up with. "She's not really that talented, and you know Mr. Schue isn't that picky about the caliber of singers he lets into Glee."

"That kind of makes sense," Santana said grudgingly.

"I don't think it does," Brittany said, looking confused.

"Not that this means I like her at all, but she's not that bad a singer," Quinn said. "You really think Vocal would turn her down? And not to mention her brother is the star of Vocal."

"I guess so," Rachel admitted, but still searched for something to defend her with. "Did you know she was expelled from Carmel? She told us after the meeting. If she came to sabotage us she'd hardly go to the lengths of getting expelled would she?" she reasoned.

"Who said she was expelled?" Quinn said. "She did. She could be lying. And she probably is." She looked around the table. "Who wants to hear her lie as to why she snubbed Vocal Adrenaline and joined the club that lost to them?"

"You better ask quickly," Santana said with a GLEEful look, looking over to Luce.

Rachel looked over. Luce was sitting, concentrating on her sandwich and unaware of Karsofsky and two other football players coming up behind her.

Luce didn't look nerdy or geeky, and unless they already knew she was in Glee Club Rachel didn't think they would immediately slushie her. She watched as Luce turned around to them, just as Karsofsky tossed a lime slushy into her face. So they knew she was in Glee.

Kids started laughing, and Luce sat there with a confused look, slushie dripping through her hair, down her face, and onto her clothes.

The two other footballers each tossed a slushie onto her as well, and then all three threw their cups at her.

Luce stood up and rushed out of the cafeteria. The slushies dripping down her face made it hard to tell whether she was crying or not. Rachel had a feeling she would be, she had after her first slushie, which had been given to her by the blonde cheerleader sitting across from her.

"I hope she doesn't have a spare set of clothes," Quinn said.

"I hope Karsofsky's found a new favorite victim," added Santana.

Rachel stood up, annoyed and a little angry. "Are we not even going to give her a chance?"

"A chance to screw us over?" Quinn shot back. "You're so naïve Rachel."

Rachel stared at her. "You know Jesse wasn't the first person we had in Glee who we didn't trust," she reminded Quinn, standing up and leaving the cafeteria and a scowling Quinn behind before she could 'accidently' spill her lunch on her.

Stopping at her locker first to grab a spare set of clothes, Rachel made her way to the girls toilets, wondering what Quinn would think if she knew Puck had been flirting with Luce.

Luce was standing at a sink, still covered in slushie and with her phone to her ear. "Why are people throwing drinks on me Jesse?" she said into the phone, sounding upset.

Rachel wasn't intending to eavesdrop, that was impolite, but when she heard the faint sound of Jesse answering Luce she froze in the doorway. She hadn't heard or seen him since Regionals, and for a moment was unsure what to do. She felt like taking the phone off Luce and telling Jesse exactly how she felt about him, and how his actions were now hurting his sister. If he would even care.

She found it hard to believe Jesse cared about anyone but Jesse.

"No I won't quit," Luce said sulkily into the phone. "But you owe me heaps." She listened to Jesse some more, frowning. "Rache Rachel Rachel. Broken record much, Jesse?" She wiped some slushie off her face. "Bye, love you too." She kissed the phone and hung up.

Rachel slipped out the door as Luce started to wash her face, realizing she was exactly like her brother. They were talking about her, it was obvious Jesse still wanted to mess with her, and was using Luce to do it. But…Luce hadn't said anything that proved that, yet. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice…isn't going to happen, thought Rachel. She would be watching Luce carefully, and make sure she couldn't hurt Glee like Jesse did.

A/N- Thanks for reading! Please review! This was mainly about Luce, did you like her or hate her? She was kind of the focus of this chapter just to introduce her, other chapters will focus a lot on Rachel and Finn and also Puck and Quinn (what happened to their relationship in the show? They seemed to really like each other at the end of Season 1 and now they barely talk. ?) Jesse will also come into the story later. Review pretty pretty please!
