Blaine and Rosaline Anderson had always been close. They were twins so it was kind of natural, spending so much time together. As children, they held hands everywhere they went, mad each other finger paint masterpieces and played dolls together. As tweens, they shared every secret, stood up for one another, and cried together. However, once they got into their teens and high school, the world seemed desperate to tear them apart. Blaine had come out as gay, something Rosaline had suspected and accepted from her twin brother. However, the children at their school did not. After much harassing, their parents had Blaine transferred to Dalton Academy. Their parents did not want to leave their daughter in such a hostile environment for too long so she was transferred to Dalton's sister school not long after. So, two years after their respective moves Rosaline was a bit confused when their parents called them into the study on the second day of summer before their senior year of high school.

"Rosie, as you know, your brother has talked us about transferring from Dalton to McKinley." Their mother, Larissa, spoke as she sat on the edge of the desk. Rosaline nodded her head and looked over at her brother who sat next to her on the window seat of the big bay window. "Well, we're transferring you as well and we all need to head down there tomorrow to get all of the paperwork in order." Her eyes widened as she looked quickly between her mother and brother, needing further explanation. "Look, Rosie, I know how close you are to your brother and your father and I do not like having the two of you separated if we can prevent it. So, we thought it would be best if you went with him to McKinley." Rosaline shook her head and crossed her arms over top her chest. "I have friends and a life at Crawford! How can you just uproot me right before my senior year?"

Blaine shifted uncomfortably in his seat next to his sister. He hated seeing her like this, upset and confused. He wanted to hug her but he knew that when she got like this she would just push him away and storm off. "Rosaline Alice," their mother's voice was firm, "I am the mother and you are the child. I'm not going to explain myself to you. You are going to McKinley, you're going to that meeting with us tomorrow with a smile on your face, and we're not going to discuss this any further. Got it?" She just nodded her head and got up from her seat, she rushed from the room and up the stairs in the hallway. Her feet carried her down the hall and around the corner before she pushed open the door to her bedroom and slammed the door shut. Rosaline threw herself down on her yellow bedspread, grabbed a pillow and covered her face with it. She took in a few shaky breaths and felt tears stinging her eyes. She was leaving Crawford, all because of her brother.

A knock came from her door and Rose groaned loudly, "Go away, Blaine." Her voice was slightly muffled but she knew that she had said it more than loud enough for him to hear, so she couldn't understand why he opened up the door. "Alice," Blaine spoke quietly as he shut his sister's bedroom door behind him. He got no response which caused him to sigh softly to himself. The bed sank under Blaine's weight and Rose squeezed her eyes tighter, fighting her tears. "Alice, please, don't be like this. Don't be mad at me." Rose groan, pulled the pillow off her face, sat up on her elbows and fixed her eyes on her brother. He felt a tug at his heartstrings seeing streaks from her tears stained on her face. She reached up and ran a thumb underneath both of her eyes, "I'm not mad at you, Blaine. I'm mad at mom and dad. I have friends at school, I have a girlfriend." Blaine's eyes widened at this news. "And, why may I ask, haven't I heard about this yet?"

Rose scoffed and rolled her eyes at her only slightly older brother. "Yes, I'd tell you something like that after you flipped out when I told you that Jeff and I started dating last year." Blaine pulled one of his legs up and underneath and he turned to face his sister better, "That's different and you know it. Jeff is one of my friends. Who is this girl? Is she nice? What's her name?" Rose held her hand up to stop her brother's questions before she flopped back down on her bed. Blaine playfully hit his sister's shins repeatedly, trying to beat an answer out of her. Rose sat up and pushed his hands away, "Ah! Fine. You remember that girl I was sitting with when you came to visit last month?" Blaine thought about it for a second, "The red head?" She nodded and smiled softly, "That's Shelby. We've been together for almost two months." Blaine smiled and crawled up Rose's bed to sit next to her. He bumped his shoulder against hers. She smiled and blushed before pushing her should back against her brother's. "Look, Alice, I know you're not happy about this. But I'm sure you and Shelby can work it out. Besides, you know you're excited that we're going to the same school again."

"Shut up and go make out with your boyfriend," Rose laughed and leaned her head back against the headboard. "I would," Blaine sighed softly, "But, he's working at his dad's shop today." Rose shook her head and moved to rest it on top of her brother's shoulder, "Oh, poor baby."


Blaine and Rosaline walked side by side a few steps behind their mother. Their steps almost echoed in the empty halls of William McKinley High School. Blaine, since he had been in the building twice before, kept his eyes mostly facing forward. Rose, however, allowed her eyes to travel along the red lockers and the pale walls that she would be walking come the new school year. Soon their mother stopped outside of a wall of windows, that when Rose peered in saw an office where a small Indian man sat. "You two wait out here for a while, I'll go in and talk to Mr. Figgins." The Anderson twins nodded at their mother before she walked through the door and into the office. They both leaned up against a window and didn't say a word, they were both far too tired be in a school building during the summer time.

Down the hall a voice could be heard. Rose turned her head to see two teenage girls walking down the hall, one holding a medium sized box and the other had a bag slung over her shoulder, talking to one another. They were both very pretty but one of them caught Rose's eye in particular; the Latina with long, flowing, black hair, a wide smile and long, gorgeous legs. As the duo approached the Latina noticed Rose and Blaine standing there, "Blaine Warbler." Her voice was smooth and firm. Blaine smiled at her and gave a small laugh, "Good morning, Santana. Hi, Brittany." The blond standing next to the girl Rose now knew was Santana smiled and waved at Blaine, before her face crumpled in confusion. "Isn't a warbler a bird? I thought he was a dolphin." Santana gave the girl's arm a pat and a small smile before turning back to the twins, "Who's the girl?"

Blaine scoffed a small laugh at the girl, "Oh, so polite. This is my twin sister, Al-, I mean Rose." Rose nodded at the two girls, but her eyes were focused on Santana, "Nice to meet you." Brittany smiled brightly at the girl but didn't say anything. Santana locked eyes with Rose and gave her a sly smirk, "Yeah. You too. What are the two of you doing here at 9 in the morning during the summer?" Blaine lifted his arm and slung it around his twin sister's neck and shoulders with a smile, "We're going to be at McKinley next year, we're here to get all of the paperwork and stuff done." Both Santana and Brittany smiled before excusing themselves, to head home. Rose leaned a bit forward to watch them leave, which resulted in Blaine smacking her arm, "Control your leering. You have a girlfriend."

"How do you know her?" Was all that Rose could say, obviously she had not heard her brother. Blaine sighed and ran a hand over his face. Once Santana and Brittany, but mostly Santana, had left her line of sight Rose turned to face Blaine, expecting an answer to her question. "She's in glee club with Kurt. I met her at that party I went to." Rose nodded her head slowly, a slow, sly smile appearing on her face. Blaine crossed his arms tightly and glared at his sister, "No. You have a girlfriend. Leave her alone. Besides, she doesn't play for your team." Rose stared at her brother with a 'are you kidding me' look. Once realizing he was completely serious, Rose started to laugh. "Really, Blaine? She is a lesbian, 100% lesbian." Blaine was about to refute her statement just as their mother popped her head out of the door too Blaine's right, "Come on, kids. Mr. Figgins wants to see the two of you."
