Hello to any newcomers to my work, I am very glad you have opened this story up to have a look to see what it is about and to anyone who's read my previous stories, thank-you for coming to read this on as well; just a big Hello to everyone. My name is KJ99 or Kate, if you'd prefer, I am Australia; in case you needed to know. This is my first every crossover story and I'm very nervous to publish it, because I know both Pretty Little Liars and Glee have massive fan base and I wanted to do both stories justice.
I am a huge Emily Fields fan so it only makes sense for me to make it about her. Most of the story is told through her point of view, however on a occasion I will use other characters point of views. I have been working on this story for about five months now, so I have another 25 chapters waiting; but I don't want to post it all at once. I'm going to hopefully be posting a new chapter every Saturday.
Just so you are aware I do have dyslexia, so I sometimes don't pick up on spelling or grammically errors, I am working very hard on it. So I apologise in advance if there are mistake, to make matters worse I was working with a computers that 'L,O and full stop buttons didn't work. I've just a new laptop, so hopefully I've fixed them all up but again sorry. Another thing you should be aware about is I have attendance to mix words up or put the wrong name in, when I'm meaning someone else. Again I am very sorry if this happens.
There's also a slight twist in this story but it won't happen for serval chapters, so don't worry to much about it; I just wanted to give you the heads up. There is also violence and maybe some swear words, or offences terms, I have nothing against anyone and I am only using them to tell this story. my portrayal of Finn, isn't a good one but I mean nothing about it; I am just telling a story. With this using glee, there will be a lot music used through out the story, if you have any song requested then go right ahead and I'll try my best to use that song. I am happy to receive any feedback, whether it's good or bad, that's how we grow. Now, I think that's everything. Sorry for rambling on I just want you to be aware of these thing.
New Start
Chapter 1
"Why did we even have to move in the first place?" I asked my parents while texting with my friends.
Mum replied with "Your Dad got stationed here and it made sense for us to all move with him."
"But you promised we wouldn't have to move again," I say annoyed at moving.
"I know we did Kiddo, I'm sorry. But it won't be that bad," my Dad said trying to reason.
I replied with "Dad, it's Lima, Ohio. The no gays allowed capital of America and the school I'm going to doesn't even have a swim team."
Mum asked "Can you please just make the most of this place? And you better get going don't want to be late for school."
"Alright," I say not happy but wanting to please my parents.
Dad hands me my school bag and asked, "Do you need me to walk you?"
"Thanks but I think I'll manage it, now was it a left or right turn at the cow? Kidding, I know it's right."
"Very funny," Mum said giving me a kiss on the cheek before sending me out the door. My family and I had just moved from Rosewood, Pittsburgh to Lima, Ohio. We moved for my Dads work, his in the army and this was his new station. This isn't the first we've moved but Rosewood had just started to feel like home. I had even made friends thinking I wouldn't need to worry about saying goodbye.
I left four best friends in Rosewood, Spencer Hastings the smartest person I know, Hanna Marin the funniest person I know, Aria Montgomery the most creative person I know and Alison DiLaurentis my best friend turn girlfriend of two months. When I learned, I was moving, it had lead us to a serious conversation and us realising we made better friends than girlfriends; so, we mutually decided to break up. I didn't think I was going to move again here I am walking to my new high school.
I'm in my second to last year of high school making me a junior. I wondered on my walk what this new school would be like, there school website made them look like every other school in America. They had already lost points by not having a swim team but it didn't mean I wouldn't look at other sports, I just preferred swimming. I'm halfway to school when my phone started ringing and pulling it out, I see Hanna's face.
"Hey Hanna," I answer trying to sound happy.
Hanna asked, "How are you doing?"
"I'm walking to school, I can't believe they start earlier than us."
"Well hang in there Em, you'll survive it."
"Thanks Han. What are you doing awake you still have another hour before you need to be awake?"
"I knew you'd be over thinking on the walk to school, so I made sure I'd be awake to call you and tell you to stop overthinking."
"Again thanks Han."
"Oh it's nothing."
"You may think it's nothing but right now, it means a lot to me." We spent the rest of my walk talking about everything and it was like nothing had change, but I knew it had because I wasn't there and here.
"Han, I have to go I'm almost there."
"Oh yeah, I should probably start getting ready."
"Thank-you for calling me and tell the girls I miss them."
"Will do Em, have a good first day." As we hang up our phones I took one more step and I was at the school. The building was a medium size, I could see the car parking for both students and teacher, there was a football fields but from what I read they weren't successful. The building had in block letters 'McKinley High School. I wasn't starting very late, only two weeks after everyone else; so I hadn't missed much work.
I shook my head when I saw cheerleaders, our school didn't really have them it was more of a support the team you want to kind of thing. Careful of not getting hit by a car or bumping into anyone, I made my way to the front door and was successful. Opening the door, I walked in and was grateful when I saw the administration office was just to the left; I could see it. Slipping into the office, I saw a student sitting awaiting and a lady sitting behind the computer looking bored but acting like she was doing something.
"Hi, how may I help you?" she asked.
Approaching, I say "Hey, I'm new here. They said I had to collect my stuff here."
"Rachel, here she is," she said. Confused I turn around to see the student staying right behind me, so close it actually scared me.
"Hi, I'm Rachel Berry and as president of the welcoming community of McKinley it's my job to show you around, make sure you don't get lost on your first day. Of course, it's not the only club I'm a part of; it would be silly to not be well-rounded student. I'm a part of the Glee Club, do you sing? If you did that would be excellent we lost a few members last year, since we only made it to regionals but this year we plan to win Nationals. So, can you sing?" I stood amazed at the amount of words that could come out of such a small person and at one time.
"Sure I can sing, along to the radio just as well as the next person," I say knowing singing wasn't my strong point.
Rachel said "Oh that's okay. Anyway, here is your class schedule, we have most classes together. This is your locker and the combination; it's on the second floor near the English classrooms. Lastly here is the list of programs we run at the school, we have just about everything from sports to the arts but of course sports has more funding."
"Right, well you don't have the one thing I actually want," I say still annoyed.
"What don't we have?" Rachel asked almost confused.
"A swim team, everywhere I have been has had a swim team but not here."
"Oh yeah, we don't have one of those."
"It's cool, I'll work something out."
Rachel said, "Glee Club is always open to new members even if you can't sing well, if you can dance that's good too."
"I know the whole dance routine to Single Ladies and MC Hammer, if that helps?" I questioned.
"Everyone knows those dances but if you want to join, you're more than welcome too. We meet every day after school," Rachel started explaining where the building was and about the group as we walked towards my locker.
We had just walked up the stairs when I hear someone shouts, "Hey Berry!" when we turn theirs this big kid walking towards us with a cup. I watch as he throws whatever liquid in the cup straight at Rachel, which both stuns and shocks me.
A Latin girl from nowhere said "You better stay away new kid, unless you want the same treatment."
"Hi I'm Brittany S. Pearce," a blonde girl in a cheerleading outfit said walking around the Latin girl.
Brittany said, "Don't mind Santana, she just acts tough."
"Britts stop," Santana said annoyed.
"Who are you?" Brittany asked poking my nose which confused me, extremely. When I heard laughter I look to see Rachel scurrying away, I don't where to though maybe to change.
"Do you talk? Can you talk? Brittany asked looking at me closely.
I replied with "Yes I can talk, sorry. I'm Emily, Emily Fields."
Brittany asked "Can you speak Spanish too? Your just as tan as Santana which is because she's Latin whatever that means but can you speak Spanish?"
"No, I can't speak Spanish. My family is from an Asian descent," I try to explain.
"How come you don't have straight eyes like Asian people?" Brittany asked.
I went to reply when a girl said, "There you two are," like the other two she was wearing a cheerleading uniform but it looked a lot better on her.
"Hey Q, what did Coach want?" Santana asked.
This Q person replied with "Just want to ramble on about winning again this year, that she won't accept failure on her squad."
"So the usual then," Santana said making Q laugh which brought a smile to my face because her laugh was amazing.
Brittany then said, "Quinn this is Emily, she's really tan but can't speak Spanish like Santana because she Asian but doesn't have straight line for eyes; like Tina and Mike." I watched Quinn's face through Brittany speech and she looked completely confused.
Quinn questioned "Your Emily?"
"Yes, I'm Emily Fields," I say holding my hand out.
"It's nice to meet you, I'm Quinn Fabray," Quinn shakes my hand while smiling. Thinking in my head this place has gotten a whole lot better. Just then the bell rang, while still holding Quinn's hand I look to the roof annoyed at it for ring.
I say ,"Guess I'll have to find my locker later, just have to find my classroom instead," I look at my schedule confused as to where anything was.
"What do you have first?" Quinn asked.
"It said Spanish with Mr Schuster."
"That's what we have," Brittany said taking my hand from Quinn's and dragging me.
"Britt! That's the wrong way!" I heard Santana and Quinn shout after me.
With Brittany dragging me we made it to class on time, I saw Rachel sitting at the front next to this very stylish guy.
Mr Schuster spoke "You must be Emily, the new student."
"And you're Mr Schuester?" I asked.
"Yes, I am. Welcome to McKinley High School, I have new kids introduce themselves is that okay?"
"Sure, knowing I didn't really have much choice."
Brittany said, "Come sit up the back with us."
"Okay Brittany," I say allowing her to pull me to the back of the room. I am placed in a seat next to Quinn with Brittany and Santana in front of us.
Quinn asked, "Where are you from?"
"That depends, but my hometown is Rosewood."
"That's not too far away," Quinn commented.
I replied with "Far enough when you don't have a car."
"Can't you drive?" Quinn asked.
"No, I can but we had to sell my car to help move here. Once we are set up again, I'll get a new car."
"So did you miss Rosewood?"
"Yeah, I made some really good friends there thinking we'd stay but here I am at a new school."
"Leave anyone special behind?" Quinn asked which got a couple of snickers out of Santana and Brittany
"Technically yes and technically no."
"Explain."
"So my best friend Alison and I started dating two months ago, however when we found out I was moving it lead to a serious conversation. We realised we are better friends than girlfriends."
"You're a unicorn?" Brittany asked loud enough for everyone to turn around and look at us.
Whispering to Quinn after most people turned away "What does unicorn me?"
Quinn whispered back "It's Britts way of asking if your gay, we've tried telling her it's not okay to ask people that."
"Brittany," I say tapping her shoulder to turn.
"Yeah?" Brittany asked turning to look, so does Santana.
"I'm a unicorn."
"Oh yay!" Brittany said clapping her hands happy.
Santana asked "You are?"
"Very much so, hence why I had a girlfriend?"
"You could be Bi though," Santana pointed out.
I replied with "Well let's just say guys don't do it for me, the way girls do; if you get what I mean."
Santana said "Oh I'm going to like you," I smiled very pleased with myself.
Quinn asked "Is that girl you were dating going to be upset?"
"No, it was mutual decision beside I've put money on her and one of my other friends getting together."
"And you're okay with that?" Santana asked shocked.
"Why wouldn't I be? I had my chance with Alison, who was hot by the way but it didn't work. At least I had a chance, not many people could say that."
Santana asked "How hot are we talking?" pulling my phone out of my pocket, I bring up a photo of Alison and show the three of them.
"Okay, fair point," Santana said.
Mr Schuester clapped his hands and spoke "Okay everyone we have a new student today, Emily would you like to introduce yourself."
"Hey, I'm Emily Fields; I'm from Rosewood which is in Pittsburgh for those who don't know geography. So far, this school doesn't suck as much as I thought it would, but you don't have a swim team which does suck. Also, to answer Brittany's question, yes, I am a unicorn, a very big and gay unicorn," I smiled at the end and sit back down after shocking everyone.
Mr Schuester began his lesson which was terrible, if what Santana was saying was anything to go by. When I had the chance, I sent a message to the girls saying, I'm a unicorn I couldn't wait to see their replies. Looking across at Quinn she was doing her best to pay attention but I could tell she was bored. She was twirling her hair around in her hair, when her head lulled to the side she saw me looking and smiled.
"Homework on the board, quietly move onto your next lesson," Mr Schuester announced I read the board and knew I couldn't do this by myself.
I asked the three when we were walking out "Hey, do you guys want to come to my place after school to do the homework?"
Quinn replied with "Sure but we have glee club after school."
"Yeah Rachel was saying something about it. I was thinking of checking it out, I don't sing but I can dance."
"You can?" Brittany asked getting excited.
"To single ladies and MC Hammer but I normally pick most dances up easily."
Brittany said, "You should audition today with single ladies, we could be back up dances and help sing."
"Really, you'd do that for me?"
"Yes," Brittany said as Santana and Quinn nodded.
"Cool."
"Oh Mr Schue," Quinn said.
"What's up Quinn?" Mr Schuester asked.
Brittany said "Emily going to audition for glee club today."
"That's great, you can sing?"
"No she dances, which we definitely need more of," Santana said.
Mr Schue said "Awesome, I'll see you girls this afternoon."
Quinn asked "What's your next class?"
"Home Economics with Ms Johnson," I say after looking at my schedule.
Santana spoke "That's with me, I'll show you and work out what else you have with us."
"Thanks," I smile.
The rest of the day run smoothly along, I had a few classes with Santana, Brittany and Quinn, I was happy when Quinn and I had classes just us. At lunchtime, the four of us spent the time rehearsing my audition, we each had a part to sing in the song but Brittany was going to take most of it. The four of us walked into the room in perfect timing, from what I could tell most people were here.
Mr Schue walked in behind us "Sorry I'm late," he said.
"Alright to start we have an audition, Emily Fields, who can dance; show us what you got," Mr Schue took a seat next to this really tall guy and that was sitting down.
I started off with "All the single ladies, all the single ladies, all the single ladies, all the single ladies, all the single ladies, all the single ladies, all the singles."
Santana, Brittany and Quinn sang "Now put your hands up," the four us raise our hands as did a few in the room.
Brittany started to sing "Up in the club, we just broke up I'm doing my own little thing. You decided to dip but now you wanna trip, cause another brother noticed me. I'm up on him, he up on me don't pay her any attention. Cause I cried my tear, for thee good year, ya can't be mad at me," the four us did the dance meant for three. We had talked about changing the song to make it about girls instead of guys more so for me but they admitted to me that, Santana is also a unicorn while Quinn and Brittany are dolphins; which meant they are Bi. However, this information isn't out in public but they felt they could trust me, I certainly wasn't going to tell anyone.
Santana took over with "Cause if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it, if you liked it then you should've put a ring on it. Don't be mad once you see that he want it, if you liked it then you should've put a ring on it." There are a few cheers and scream throughout the song with the group getting into it.
Quinn sang by herself "I got gloss my lips, a man on my hips, hold me tighter than my Dereon jean. Actin up, drinking m cup, I could care less what you think. I need no permission, did I mention. Don't pay him any attention, cause you had your turn and now you gonna learn; what it really feels like to miss me."
As the girls encouraged me, I sang hopefully in tune "Don't treat me to these things of the world, I'm not that king of girl. Your love is what I prefer, what I deserve. Is a man that makes me then takes me and delivers me to a destiny, to infinity and beyond. Pull me into your arms, say I'm the one you want. If you don't, you'll be alone and like a ghost I'll be gone." Everyone seemed to enjoy my singing even if I was a little patchy in area.
Together we finished the song off "All the single ladies, all the single ladies, all the single ladies, all the single ladies, all the single ladies, all the single ladies, all the sing ladies. Now put your hands up!" When the four of us stopped singing and doing the dance everyone stopped up to clap, a few threw out a few words of encouragement.
Mr Schue stood up and said, "Great work girls, what does everyone thinking?" After everyone voted, I was welcomed into the club and was introduced to everyone. Four football players, Noah 'Puck' Puckerman, Sam Evans Michael 'Mike' Chang and Finn Hudson, Puck kind of reminded me of this guy from Rosewood called Noel Kahn but only time would tell. Then there was Artie Abrams who was in a wheelchair or a robot as Brittany said, Mercedes Jones who looked ready to belt out any high note, Kurt Hummel he was in my Spanish class with Rachel this morning and lastly Tina Cohen-Chang who isn't Mike's sister but his girlfriend.
"Up here Emily," Brittany said waving me over to the back with her, Santana and Quinn. Taking the seat free next to Santana, they confirmed they would be able to come to my house after glee club and Mr Schuester started talking.
When glee club finished for the day Mr Schue dismissed us and Quinn agreed to give me a lift, so I could direct them. We spent that time talking, they were telling me things about them and I added in a few words every now and then.
Walking into the house, I shout "Mum! Dad!"
Dad shouted back "In the kitchen!" I lead the girl through the house which still had boxes waiting to be empty.
"Hey kiddo, how was school? Dad asked before seeing me.
Mum asked, "Was it as terrible as you were thinking?"
"Okay, I might have been overdramatic but blame Hanna for that," I say defending myself.
Dad then noticed the girls "You made friends."
"That was quick," Mum said jokingly.
Mum said "Please come in, welcome to our house. I'm sorry for the mess, we are still unpacking and working out if we really need everything. Anyway, I'm Pam Fields and this is my husband Wayne Fields."
Quinn replied with "It's nice to meet you Mr and Ms Fields, I'm Quinn Fabray, and these are my friends Santana Lopez and Brittany Pearce." Quinn shook their hands as did Santana and Brittany.
Dad asked "What brings you girls over not that we mind?"
I replied with "They are in my Spanish class and the Spanish teacher isn't really good at speaking it, where Santana is."
"Nice Alison move Em," Mum said with a smile.
"Spencer would be proud, I'm actually going to do homework," I said.
Dad asked "Have you heard from them today?"
I answered with "Yeah Hanna rang me this morning and we've been texting throughout the day. They'll ring again when they've finished school and doing the traditional after school trip to the brew."
"Who replaced you there?" Mum asked confused.
I replied with "Aria, they had to get her a step ladder so she can reach things now."
Mum nods her head and said "Okay, well you better get studying and Emily take the box never the stairs up to room as you go please."
"Sure thing Mum," I say pecking her and Dad on the cheek before leading the way back to the stairs. Collecting the box, which is heavy because it has my trophies' and medals. Entering my room, I had a nicely sized bedroom which now had blue and white walls; thanks to the paint job Dad and I did over the weekend. On one wall, I had big spread picture of the girls, all of us together our favourite photo together, around them were other little ones of us together.
I had a double bed which currently had a toy shark resting by the pillows. Above my bed in a darker blue was the word 'shark' in big bold letters, which Mum did since she had steadier hands. I had a window but no-window seat unlike my old room, however it allowed for my desk to go in front of it. My white wardrobe was across from my bed placed nicely in front of a wall, I had different item on top of it.
"Nice room," Santana commented while still looking.
Brittany asked "Why blue and white? And why do you have the word sharks on your wall?"
"Thanks. Well blue and white are Rosewoods colours and sharks is what our teams are called, it's like how you guys have red and white and are called the titans."
"Oh, I like yours better," Brittany said with a nod.
"Thanks."
Quinn asked, "Are these your friends?"
"Yeah, Alison in the middle, I'm on her right, Spencer is on her left. Hanna is on my other side and Aria's next to Spencer," I explained while pointing them out.
Santana said, "They look like a good group."
"Yeah," I say missing them.
"What's that?" Brittany asked pointing at the jacket on my desk chair.
I answered with "It's my sharks jacket."
"Why does it say anchor?" Quinn asked confused.
I asked, "Do you guys know anything about a swim team?" I placed the box down on my bed and moved across to pick the jacket up.
"No," the three said at the same time.
I explain "Anchor basically means in the group swims, I'm the last swimmer because I'm the fastest swimmer on the team."
"Oh and these are all your trophy's and medal?" Santana asked looking through the box.
"Yeah, though I'm missing one medal and three M.V.P trophy's," I say knowing exactly where they are.
Quinn asked "Where are they?"
"I gave a trophy to Hanna, Spencer and Aria before leaving, then my second every medal won from swimming I gave to Alison."
"That was sweet of you," Quinn said.
"Well I know they'll be safe with the girls, besides I know where each of them live and I have some of their things."
"Like what exactly?" Brittany asked.
"I have Alison yellow singlet top, this bracelet is Hanna's, I have a couple of Spencer textbooks just to mess with her but also one of her brown vest jackets and I have a few of Aria's paintings and a pair of her fork earrings."
"Seriously?" Santana questioned. Smiling I go to my desk, I open my jewellery box and pull out the earrings.
"Wow, you were serious," Santana said amazed. Hearing my phone ringing in my pocket, I pull it out and see Alison's face on the screen.
"I'll just quickly take this," I say quickly before answering the phone with "Hello Darling, I've been thinking about you all day."
"Well that's good because I've been thinking the same thing," I heard Aria say.
I replied with "It's scary, I knew Alison wouldn't actually answer but I thought Spencer would've answer."
"Shut it Emily!" Spencer shouts.
"Feeling the love Spence," I say with a smile.
Alison asked, "How was your first day of hell?"
"Okay, I don't remember calling it hell."
"You did, a thousand of times and in texts too," Hanna stated.
"Well I was being overdramatic."
"She learnt from the best," Hanna cut me off with.
Spencer spoke "Just what we need another Hanna."
"Hey!" Hanna and I shout out together.
Aria asked, "Anyway how did the day go?"
"I made friends with these three really awesome girls," I say smiling across at Quinn, Santana and Brittany.
"Any potential there Em?" Hanna asked.
"Oh definitely Han."
"Get in there Em, get in there," Hanna said encouragingly.
I replied with "Reading you loud and clear there Han."
Alison shouted "You two are officially gross!"
Spencer asked "What's the actual school like?"
"Well the Spanish teacher can't actually speak Spanish, so that basically sums it up."
Worried Spencer asked "How are you going to learn?"
"That's what friends are for, Santana is very fluent in Spanish."
"Whose Santana?" Aria asked.
"One of the girls I met."
"Is the potential there Em?"
"No."
"So she not a unicorn."
"No, she's a unicorn."
"Just into another one or a dolphin?" Hanna question.
"That would be dolphin, a definite dolphin."
Aria said "I am so confused."
"Second that," Alison and Spencer spoke out.
Hanna said "That's what happens when you don't text with her during the day."
"Which you got detention for," the three point out.
Hanna asked "Anyway, is the other one a dolphin or a unicorn?"
"The first one."
"Why not say it?"
"Because they are here Hanna."
"Well that was quick work, what precision are you in?"
"Santana, Quinn and Brittany are here studying, we have the same Spanish class and I need help."
"It's about time you focus on your studies," Spencer commented.
Hanna said "Whatever, which one if the potential Em?"
Alison saved me with "Obviously she can't tell you with them being in the same room with her."
"Right, we'll pick this us when they aren't there," Hanna stated meaning I had no choice in the matter.
Aria asked "Did you do anything else?"
"Yeah well the school doesn't have a swim team, they do have a glee club which I joined today."
"No way, you," Alison said.
"Em, you can barely sing and it's never good," Spencer commented.
I replied with "Well it's a good thing I can dance."
"Yeah to single ladies and MC Hammer," Hanna said.
"With Santana, Quinn and Brittany's help I auditioned with single ladies, only singing a little but mostly dancing."
"Did you get in?" Alison asked.
"Yeah, I did."
"Good job Em!" they all shout.
I replied with "Thanks guys, I should probably go study."
"Okay Spencer," Hanna said.
"Ow," came Hanna again.
"What happened?" I asked.
"Don't worry, I just punched Hanna," Spencer stated.
"So the normal then."
"Pretty much," Aria said.
"I'm glad the schools better than you thought it would be Em."
"Thanks Ali," I say sweetly.
"Talk tonight?" Alison asked.
"Of course, I want to hear about your potential."
"Bye Em," Alison said before hanging up on me. Looking over at Santana, Quinn and Brittany they were sitting on my bed with their book, listening to my side of the conversation.
I say "Sorry about. After swim practice, I use to meet them at the brew and we'd talk like that until closing."
Quinn replied with "It's fine, you seem really happy talking to them."
"They are always fun and good for a laugh, especially Hanna," I say looking across at the photo.
Santana asked "Can we have a glass of water?"
"Yeah sure, if you head back to the kitchen Mum should be able to help you."
"Okay come on Britts," Santana said dragging Brittany out of the room.
"Are you okay?" Quinn asked once the door was closed.
"Yeah, I just miss them. Don't get me wrong, you guys are going to be great friends and what not but they've been my group for five years."
"That's a long time."
"I knew I'd miss them but not this much."
"You'll see them again."
"When I have a car again, I'm going to plan a weekend trip up there."
"That sounds nice."
"You girls should come, meet them you'll like each other."
"I'd, I mean we'd like that."
