Anything's Possible
Brittany never really knew what would happen the day she saw her again, she thought maybe everything would click into place like at the end of a jigsaw, except does this piece still fit?
"This is it, you can do it" she mumbled, pumping herself up for the inevitable, Brittany flattened her dress down one more time before walking into the room. Looking round she couldn't help but smile to herself, nothing's changed, did she ever think it would have? McKinley High School Gym still looked like the run down mess it always did, with just a fresh coat of paint. Except this time it was rocking banners and balloons from every corner: 'Welcome class of 2012' and '10 year reunion' screaming at you everywhere you look.
Looking to the left Brittany quickly sourced out the drinks and hurried over, pausing on her way to for pleasantries with people she swore she didn't even know, or maybe she did but has forgotten, that's kind of sad right? Grabbing a drink Brittany relaxed a little, she can do this, with something to keep her hands entertained Brittany looked up and this time really looked round the gym. She knew what she was looking for, who she was looking for, was she here? Would she come?... She wasn't here yet. Sighing she took a sip of the punch, 'crap' no alcohol; she'd have to talk to Puckerman later.
After not managing to spot the one person she truly really wanted to see tonight Brittany managed to spot a group of familiar people all banded together, how she hadn't spotted them before she wouldn't know after the scene they were making by the DJ booth, arguing as always. Making her way over and finally coming in ear shot Brittany herd what the ruckus was all about and of course Rachel Berry was in the centre of it all.
"All I'm saying Noah is that whereas I can appreciate the rhythm and beat of today's music, and of course this does make it easier for one to dance too" but before Puck could say anything Rachel reached up and pierced his lips together, his lips twitching at the corners as he tried not to smile, eyes twinkling down at the woman "but as you can see no one is dancing" gesturing to the giant gap in the gym, everyone walking round and avoiding it. Brittany didn't know why people were so scared, she just walked straight through, it was like so much quicker than walking round. Rachel continued "thus giving me the opportunity to further educate my peers, again I might add, in the wonders and benefits of classical and modern Broadway"
Before she could finish her rant Kurt spotted Brittany and screamed out her name across to her in joy, putting a stop to the argument, was it even an argument? Fellow glee clubbers all gathered round, smiling and hugging her. Kurt managed to get to her first and after a quick hug which was more of a pat on the back, Brittany guessed Kurt was trying to preserve his suit more than her dress, and gave her a once over and nodding.
"Champagne dress, beautiful as always Britt" Brittany just shrugged, she knew she looked awesome, before Kurt gave her hand a quick squeeze, stepping back and letting all the others take over her. They had all stayed in contact, it was sort of weird how it had all ended up working out in the end and sure they were all a little spread out after high school and during college but now, well you could either find a glee club member in New York or LA. They had all gotten out of Lima freaking Ohio.
It was kind of half and half right now, the split, if was simple how we all stayed in contact, the New York and LA groups all stayed tight with each other, you know coffee, lunch dates, movie nights, fun stuff together. Then they would always be skyping and calling those in the other cities and it was safe to say you had somewhere to stay if you wanted to go and visit. Also we all work out meeting together when we went home to visit the family so normally one person from LA and New York went at the same time. It just worked.
Smiling fondly Brittany took another sip of her drink whilst looking round at her friends, all in their own conversations now, thinking how their lives had changed in the pass years, these reunions were about reminiscing right? And of course showing of what you've got. Quinn, well Quinn is Brittany's rock; she's an LA goer like Britt and her closest friend now. After the whole Beth drama circa 2010 Quinn decided looking into medicine, she wanted to look after people, like someone was looking after Beth, so it's no surprise that after residency she specialised into OB/GYN. Now transferred to a private hospital where they are confident that Quinn is going to one of the more promising specialist young doctor in the country.
True to her name Quinn did turn out to be the most fertile woman on the planet after giving herself to her med school sweetheart and becoming pregnant with Jessica, unfortunately it didn't work out with Daniel and the pregnancy set her career back a bit, but Quinn wouldn't have had it any other way, who is now very much happy by herself with her 6 year old baby girl.
Rachel as promised went straight out to New York while taking up NYADA by storm, taking over completely, winning leads in plays from everyone, performing in ensembles in off-broadways shows, getting leads in off-Broadway shows, back to the ensemble for Broadway and then last year she got it good with her first lead on Broadway. Rachel had been offered the lead role as 'Kate' in avenue Q, which was coming back for a stint on Broadway, that's when all of Rachel's Broadway dreams came true.
They all knew she was going to do it, she was too stubborn not to let it happen, and they were all there for her on opening night, cheering her on and they always will. She even married Puck, who would have thought that? The school bad boy was now the poster boy for safety. He spent a year bumming around in Lima before he found his true calling after saving an old woman from a fire, a fire which he had accidently started, but we don't mention that.
As soon as that had happened he was on the first bus out of Lima and on route for the Big Apple, becoming a proud New York fire fighter. While re-connecting with the New York bound Glee kids he and Rachel, who had now been split from Finn for some time, became close again and he eventually popped the question after breaking into her favourite theatre and proposing on stage, through song, Rachel loved it, they've been married for 4 years now.
Kurt after not loving NYADA and switching to NYU to major in fashion was now one of the fashion editors for Vogue magazine, one of the best and bitchiest of them all, and he loved it. He and Blaine not working out past senior year were still close friends and Kurt even planned his wedding, something he likes to do on the side of his already fabulous and hectic life and has even been seeing his French lover Guillaume for nearly two years this fall. He was happy.
Blaine who married Joshua, a choreographer in LA was now a music teacher at one of LA's high schools after a few failed attempts at becoming a singer. They've been married 5 years after meeting at one of Joshua's shows and too Brittany's delight they have just started the adoption process.
Finn became the picture of a modern family, after graduating from Ohio state he was headhunted for a minor football team where he is reserve QB, when not playing he has his own garage, a branch of Burt's in LA. His wife Brooke, a waitress turned real estate agent had given birth to his first children, twins Sarah and Tyler last year, with another little one on the way in four more months.
Tina and Mike stayed together of course, through thick and thin, and there has been a lot. Mike went to UCLA and Tina a year later to NYU; after Mike graduated he went straight to New York to dance and never looked back. Tina became a councillor for troubled children, much like the Glee kids, except their problems were more serious that the stuff we came up with. They've been married now for 7 years, the most out of everyone and have been trying for a child for some time. Brittany knew it would happen, they were meant to have super amazing dancing Asian babies, how could they not?
Mercedes skipped the college route and got herself an internship at an interior design company, ten years later she is the hottest bitch on the scene in LA to have your house re-worked, her crazy ass loud and vivacious styles have everyone calling for a Miss Jones to come and do their houses, and she isn't cheap either, luckily if you one her closest friends you can get away just paying her in tot's, Britt doesn't mind and her room looks super cute.
Even though Sam went back to Tennessee they gave their long distance relationship a shot, even if they did break up for his final years of med school they found each other again and are now engaged to be married next year, Kurt and Mercedes we're already fighting about the dates. Sam took the medical route like Quinn and is now is a plastic surgeon and opened up his own practise with his best friend from med school. He still refuses to get a lip reduction though.
Lauren broke up with Puckerman senior year and took on the wrestling world and was all set to hit the Olympics up, but a hernia later she was back in New York working as a bouncer and keeping an eye on Puckerman. Artie surprised no one when perusing a career in electronics, graduating top of his class at Caltech, now working at Google where he met his long term girlfriend and fellow engineer Susie.
In full circle back to Brittany, people expected her to dance like Mike but that's not what she wanted, Mike was the dancer of the group, she was just super good at it and hell yeah she still had the body of a dancer and could take on Chang in a heartbeat but she never wanted a career in it, it would like suck all the fun out of it. Like Finn she went to Ohio State where she graduated with a degree in teaching, and after much persuasion from Quinn and Mercedes she moved out to LA where she now is a Kindergarten teacher.
She still lives with Quinn, Brittany helped out a lot while Quinn was pregnant and afterwards with the babysitting while Quinn had crazy hours back at the hospital, but who would want to watch cartoons all day and eat ice cream? babysitting is super fun. But now with Quinn in her private practice she finally has the time to have normal hours and come back to Jessica, so Brittany was looking for her own place, she needed her own place, get something to call hers, it was going to be awesome.
Still smiling Brittany knew everything about the past ten years of the people's lives in front of her; they're her family, except one. Before she could think any further on that she was pulled out from her thoughts from Mercedes who was addressing the group, the same question on her lips as Brittany, was she a mind reader?
"Seeing as no one else will address the Elephant in the room, no one ever does" she whispered the last part while throwing a quick glance at Brittany, "but is she coming?... Does anyone know?" Everyone knew who she was talking about, their missing member, the one that got away.
Santana.
