Chapter 1

Rachel leaned forward resting on the handle bars of her motorcycle looking out over the ocean. She had taken a drive along the beach to clear her head and now she was just listening to the radio thinking about her summer. She had been in California all summer and was not really looking forward to going back home. They use to live here right next door to where she stayed all summer up until the end of her 8th grade year.

Her daddy Hiram had been offered a job as the Chief of Surgery at Lima Memorial with a pay raise just over double what he had been making here. Leroy was a contractor and could find work anywhere so they moved to Lima a month before her first day of high school.

The biggest downfall for Rachel was leaving her brother and aunts. Rachel's daddy Hiram and Aunt Heather were twins that both turned out to be gay. Their spouses Shelby and Leroy were cousins that they had grown up with. Heather married Shelby a year out of High school and Hiram married Leroy 6 months later.

They all wanted children but Heather was unable to have children due to medical problems and Leroy had an accident when he was a boy that caused him to be sterile. After lots of long talks they decided that in order to have children as close to each of their partners as they could get Shelby would carry for both couples with Hiram's sperm fertilizing the eggs.

It was the perfect plan and the first time out Shelby got pregnant with what was supposed to be Hiram and Leroy's child. They all were shocked when she turned up to be carrying twins. After a lot of talking and trying to figure out what to do they decided that each couple would keep one of the babies. This way Shelby only went through one pregnancy and neither couple wanted more than one child. It worked out well for them all.

When they moved Shelby and Heather were heartbroken that they were taking Rachel away from them but they understood and visits were made often back and forth. The kids were not as understanding. They weren't sure who cried more when they left Rachel or Royal. Both kids took the move very hard but Rachel had it worse once they settled in and school started.

The kids found out quickly about her having two fathers and unlike California, small town Ohio didn't take that news well. She was slushied on the first day ruining her favorite white leather jacket, her lucky jeans and an expensive blouse that she loved. No amount of her fathers' going to the school to complain helped because they always snuck up on her so she never saw who did it. So after a week she went to the goodwill and bought the most horrible clothes she could just to spite them all. She'd be damned if she let them ruin all her expensive clothing. She now only wore the good stuff as she had taken to calling them at night and on the weekends.

Royal was pissed when he found out what was happening to her and tried to run away to come to Ohio. Heather found him at the corner bus stop and took him home to calm him. Shelby was with Royal and wanted to go to Lima to kick ass but Heather, Hiram and Leroy talked her down. Rachel assured them that she was ok and she wouldn't let them get her down. She had succeeded too. She never let them get to her because she know the truth.

No one in that school knew the real her. Even Finn didn't have a clue. She only really dated the boy because he was the first person that was nice to her and she was ashamed to say she used him as a shield. Not that that had really worked because he would never stand up for her. She only continued to pursued him and break up him and Quinn because she had overheard Santana talking to Brittany about how he never treated her right and she deserved so much better.

Santana was trying to figure out how to break them up and find her someone better because nothing else would be good enough for her. Rachel had to agree, there was just something about Quinn. She wasn't sure what it was but she had always been drawn to the girl wanting her friendship. She kind of reminded her of her best friend Sara that lived next door in California. Santana worried so much about her so Rachel took it upon herself to help out wanting her to be happy. She tried not to examine why she wanted to make Santana happy.

So here she was now. After that stunt Finn pulled at Nationals and of course ever one blaming her for it she told Finn that she no longer wanted anything more than friendship from him and she meant it. She was tired of pretending with him and would rather be single and a target than dating someone she had absolutely no interest in and did not find the least bit attractive.

She had always told Finn she was waiting to have sex when she was 25 and had her first tony buy in actuality she had no intention of any man touching her that way. She'd just wait for college and a more open minded place to live before she got serious with someone.

She couldn't believe the summer was over, it went by so fast. As she looked out over the water she felt kind of guilty. She should have been helping Aunt Heather and Mama Shelby pack. She knew Royal was almost done with his stuff and Dad and Daddy were helping but she still felt kind of bad. She just needed to get away and ride along the beach one more time before they loaded the bikes up.

Heather was a play write and Shelby composed music and did all the scores for the plays she wrote. They had been writing plays and music together for years and now were sought after for what they could do. They got a job in New York that demanded that they be there because their latest project would be the biggest thing Broadway had seen since Wicked. It would be in the making for at least the next year before it even started getting casted but the person buying the play insisted that they work with him personally and was paying them a ridiculous amount of money to do so.

So hear they were and the most exciting part for Rachel was that Royal was coming home with her. He didn't want to go to a school in New York alone where he knew no one so he asked if he could go with her. After a week of deliberations by the parents they agreed to let him go. Rachel was overjoyed.

She was brought out of her musings by the sound of another motorcycle approaching her. She smiled as Royal came up beside her. "Hey Tink why did you disappear? Mom and Papa Hiram were frantic until I told them you just went for a ride and said I'd come get you."

Rachel shrugged. "Thanks for covering for me Tigger. I just needed a minute. I can't believe we leave for home tomorrow and will not be coming back here anymore."

Royal got off his bike and moved over to hug her. "No worries, we can come back whenever we want. Mom, Ma and I talked and they decided not to sell the house but leave it for us to come back to whenever like a summer house for the whole family or something."

She squealed and squeezed him tight. "Really? Oh that is so awesome. I need to thank them profusely."

Royal pulled back to look at her. "Hey, stop with the verbose vocabulary until you're in class or something. We all know you're a friggin genius."

Rachel punched his arm. "Whatever, your IQ score was bigger than mine. You know on second thought I may want you to go with Aunt Heather and Mama Shelby after all. You may mess up my valedictorian status."

He just laughed. "I'll give you a run for your money and we will see who comes out on top but for now we need to get back and get these bikes on the trailer. Uncle Leroy just finished with my U-Haul and was hooking it up."

She nodded squeezing him one last time then started up her bike. It was a 1946 Indian Chief. Their grandfather on the Berry side was an old stage hand in Hollywood. He worked on movie sets his whole life. When Rachel and Royal were little he bought two motorcycles that had been used in a movie in the 70's and were just taking up space in an old storage building. He brought them home and started restoring them. When they were old enough he started teaching Rachel and Royal how to work on them as well. When they were 13 he completed them and taught them to ride.

He gave the bikes to them for their 15th birthday. This was one of the things that no one in Lima knew about her. She knew how to ride and work on motorcycles and enjoyed it immensely. Rachel hadn't been able to transport hers back home before now and she was excited to get it there. Daddy promised to clean out one side of the garage when they got home to house them. She couldn't wait to get it home and take it out in the country with Royal and just ride.

She also had a little shop out back where she was restoring a 1940 Crocker Big Tank that her dad had brought home to her last year. Someone he was working for had bought an old storage facility and surrounding land and told him he could have whatever he found in the units before they demolished the place and built a new mini mall. One of the units had the motorcycle and tons of parts and tools. He brought them all home and set her up a shop in the back building. She loved it and was really enjoying rebuilding her new motorcycle. Royal was hoping to find a project bike for him as well.

They made it back to the house and Shelby met them in the driveway. She was not happy with her. "Tink, you know better than to just leave and not tell anyone but Tigger what you are doing."

Rachel climbed off her bike and moved to hug her. "I'm sorry I worried you. I just wanted to take one more ride along the beach. I should have been more thoughtful and let you know."

Shelby sighed. "It's ok honey just don't scare me anymore ok?"

She nodded and hugged her before moving to help load the bikes in the trailer. Both had a side car that was already loaded and strapped down. They were just finishing up when Leroy came out. "Rachel, we're about to order pizza what kind do you want?"

Royal nudged her shoulder. "Come on Tink you know you miss pepperoni and the Doctor said the vegetarian thing was making you sick."

Rachel sighed. "Ok you're right and I have missed it." She looked up to the porch. "I want a peperoni and black olive one dad."

Leroy saluted her and headed back in. Rachel and Royal finished strapping everything down and locking as much as they could. Royal threw an arm over her shoulder and guided her toward the house. "Well that was the last of the Lima load. All we have to do is throw in our overnight bags in the morning then we're off."

"When are the moms heading out?"

"They will finish up packing today and tomorrow then the movers will load it all on a truck and drive it to New York. They are flying out once the movers are on their way out."

Rachel wrapped her arm around his waist. "I can't believe you are really coming with me. This year will be so much fun with glee. I might even try out for Volleyball this year if you're going to play football."

Royal shrugged. "I don't know. After all you've told me about the way the football team acts, especially with you I don't think I want on that team."

She just shook her head. "It's not all of them. Michael, Sam and Puck aren't mean to me and they're on the team. So is Finn."

He scoffed and laughed. "I know I saw the video you sent me of the jolly green giant trying to throw a ball. You know if I try out the likelihood of me taking his spot is like 100%. It's going to piss him off."

Rachel just shrugged. "I don't care. I told you I was through with him and that farce of a relationship. My being a lesbian kind of puts a damper on it. Well, that and him being clueless and a really bad boyfriend. You love football you have to try out."

He stopped walking and thought for a moment. "Ok, if you promise to try out for Volleyball I will do football."

Rachel squealed and launched herself into his arms. "Oh this year is going to be great. Now if you will only promise to audition for Glee I will deem you the most amazing brother in the universe."

Royal rubbed his chin in thought. He honestly had every intention of joining. He just liked giving her a hard time and making her wait for an answer. "Ok if I have to. I can't have my baby sister unhappy now can I? And I have always been the best brother in the universe."

Rachel hugged him tight then punched his arm. "You are a whole 6 minutes older them me stupid."

He just shrugged. "Doesn't matter it counts, well, that and the fact that you are 2 feet shorter then me and absolutely tiny helps me too Tinkerbell."

She growled at him and he took off into the house with her hot on his tail yelling that she was not that short. Shelby and Leroy yelled getting on to them for running in the house. Heather and Hiram just smiled remembering their own childhood. Tomorrow they would head out for the three day trip to Ohio and two weeks after they would start their senior year together. As far as Rachel was concerned it didn't get much better than that.

A/N: Ok I have had several requests for a Pezberry so here it is. This one has been sitting in the old noggin for a while and today it would not let me write anything else. I thought of just holding on to it until I finished at least Avenging Angel but I really don't like just sitting on it when it is right here so I am posting it. Let me know what you think, all reviews good and constructive are welcome and encouraged.
