Chapter I

''Academy Award''


It was the Academy Award's night and everyone in Lima was impatiently waiting for the ceremony. This year was an important year for Lima. This year, Rachel Berry, the rising star from Lima, Ohio, was nominated for her role in the movie ''Strength''.

Mr Shue was overflooded with questions from his pupils about Rachel's adolescence at McKinley.

''Has she always been that sexy?'' David asked him.

''I-I can't answer this question David!''

''Has she always been this talented?'' A brunette asked him.

''Yes Anna, she's always been talented.'' He answered with pride.

''Was she a diva or was she humble?'' A blonde guy asked him.

''Well Jake, she was..hum...She had her moments you know, sometimes she was humble and then sometimes she was very sure of herself.'' Mr Shue said hesitantly before clearing his throat. ''Can we go back to the class now please? We have our number to rehearse for Regionals!''

''Did you win Nationals when Rachel was in the Glee club?''

''Yes Jenny, we won Nationals during her senior year.'' Mr Shue sighed. ''Now, please, everybody stands up, we're gonna rehearse our first song for Regionals!'' He counted to three and gestured to the students to begin singing.

''This song is so 2009...'' Jenny sighed before singing.

''Rachel loved this song!'' Mr Shue shouted before smiling when he saw his students more motivated.

''You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep

'Cause they'd fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You'd think me rude
But I would just stand and stare

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems''


Class ended and Will joined Emma in the teachers' room.

''Those kids are a real nightmare...'' He sighed then kissed her.

''What happened?'' She asked him.

''They couldn't stop asking questions about Rachel.'' He chuckled lightly.

''Well it's perfectly normal Will, she is a real star here now! You should be proud, you were one of her teachers.'' She answered sweetly.

''I am proud and I hope she will get the statuette tonight.'' He smiled.

''I wouldn't worry, she is the best, she will have it.'' Emma said with confidence.

''Is that right ? You really think that this little ex-argyle creature will get the Academy Award statuette ?'' A familiar voice asked behind them.

''Sue, I really, really can't wait for your retirement, you know that ?'' Will sighed.

''Oh Will, don't get too excited, as long as I can yell on my cheerios and scare them, it means I am able to teach, stay here and admire this wonderful butt chin of yours.'' Sue said with a smirk. ''And your little protegée will never win it, she's as talented as Miley Cyrus !''

''We will see that Sue.'' Will answered with a smile.

''It's already seen for me !'' Sue said as she raised from her seat and exited the room.


Quinn came home after work and sat on the sofa. Finn would not be home until an hour so she had some time alone to watch the TV and relax before dinner. She switched the TV on and began to flick through channels, she stopped when she saw Rachel, she turned the volume up and watched it attentively.

''Rachel Berry, born in Lima, Ohio, raised by two gay dads, was attracted to cinema and music very young. Her dream began when she left her town and studied in NYADA. After graduation, several roles were offered to her in Broadway musicals but it's only when she began in Hollywood that Rachel Berry became world famous. This amazing actress is now rewarded with an Academy Award nomination for her daring role in the incredible movie ''Strength'' where Miss Berry plays a strong business woman but who doesn't accept herself and is forced to come out after a scandal. We can only wish good luck to this wonderful rising star!''

Quinn smiled lightly, Rachel didn't need any luck, she was talented, she has always been. She was proud of her, proud that their little exchange on the piano in their Sophomore year made Rachel realised that she was too big for Lima. During their Senior year, they became friends, Rachel tried to encourage Quinn to go to Yale, she helped her with her application. But unfortunately, she couldn't make it to Yale, she wasn't accepted, so she had decided to stay in Lima. When Rachel left to enter NYADA, they stopped talking to each other, the brunette was probably too busy to give any news but Quinn wasn't mad at her. She always knew Rachel was meant to be a star.

Now Quinn was working in an estate agency and was living with Finn. They were together for three years and they were getting married in six days. All's for the best, or so she was trying to think.

She shook her head when she heard footsteps behind her, she turned her head and smiled when she saw her fiancé.

''Hi honey, how are you? How was your work today?'' Finn asked with a goofy smile before kissing her.

''Good. How was yours?'' She asked monotonously.

''Great!'' He said enthusiastically.

''What do you want to do tonight?'' The blonde asked him.

''Mom and Burt invited us for dinner tonight, remember? We'll be watching the awarding together.'' He said with a wide smile.

''Oh yeah, sorry, I forgot. Better get ready then.''

She went upstairs and reluctantly changed to go the Hummel's place. She liked Burt and Finn's mom, she did, but sometimes she wished she had another life, another fiancé, another family. She put on a blue dress and put on some make up. Finn arrived slowly behind her, he wrapped his hands on her stomach and whispered softly in her ear.

''You look amazing. Maybe we could...You know...Stay in for the night...''

She turned in his arms to face him and looked at him with serious eyes.

''Finn, we've already discussed it, we will not have sex until we're married, I don't want to do the same mistakes all over again. If you love me, you'll respect that.''

''Sorry, I didn't mean it like that.'' He said with puppy eyes.

''It's okay...We better go now'' She tried to smile.

She moved away from his arms, took her jacket and went downstairs.


Later that evening, Quinn, Finn, Burt and Carole were sitting on the sofa in the living room, watching the awarding.

''Good evening everyone! I'm glad to welcome you to this very special night! As you can see behind me, many people came all the way here to see their favorite actors and actresses! Every year we have some favorites and this year doesn't infringe to the rule! We can see many banners with the name of ''Rachel Berry'' written on it! And unless you were living on another planet during the past year, you probably know that this wonderful lady is nominated for her role in ''Strength''. But Miss Berry will have to face some serious competition tonight! Indeed, four other actresses are nominated for the ''Best Actress in a Leading Role'' award!

Oh ! Judging by the screamings, I think Miss Berry has just arrived ! There she is ! She is simply gorgeous in that red dress !

''Hello Miss Berry, how are you tonight ? Are you nervous ?''

''Hello ! I'm fine, surprisingly ! I-I'm not nervous, I mean, I'm already honored to be here tonight, winning this award would just be a bonus, really.''

''Well, I can see humbleness is one of your numerous qualities ! Would you like to say something to your fans ?''

''Thank you, to all of you, thank you for supporting me, loving me, you don't know how much it means to me ! You're the best !''

''Thank you for your time Rachel and good luck for tonight.''

''Thank you.''

Ladies and Gentlemen, the ceremony is about to begin, I wish you a very good evening !''

Carole was the one to break the silence.

''I think she will win, she is the more talented'' She said with a smile.

''I'm sure she will too ! When you look at her competitors, they don't stand a chance against her. And I have to admit, her movie is really good.'' Burt stated.

''You've seen it ?'' Finn asked him, surprised.

''Yeah, I went with Kurt, he wanted me to see it.''

''I've seen it too.'' Quinn admitted.

''Really ?'' Finn asked.

''I went to the cinema with Santana when she came visiting me.'' She answered with a smile.

''And what do you think about it ?'' Carole asked her.

''Well, it's a movie that suits Rachel...You know, all about the drama.'' She giggled lightly. ''But it's a good film, yeah.''

''I agree, it's a good film for Rachel to begin with, it shows all her potential in the drama genre ! But I hope that she will not forget about her first love, music, I hope she will have the chance to do musicals, she has such a great voice.'' Carole said with a sweet smile.

''S-Shh, it's her turn !'' Burt said.

He turned up the volume.

''And now, Ladies and Gentlemen, we have five beautiful women nominated for the best actress in a leading role, Kristen Bell for her role in ''Investigations'', Nathalie Portman for her role in ''Black Birds'', Sarah Michelle Gellar for her role in ''Shadows Rising'', Zooey Deschanel for her role in ''Meet Me Halfway'' and the last but not the least, Rachel Berry for her role in ''Strength''...And the winner is...Miss Rachel Berry!''

Burt and Carole shouted their joy while Finn gave a high five to Burt and Quinn smiled widely. They were all proud of her, she deserved it. Silence fell again when the brunette began to talk.

''Thank you, thank you very much for this award...I-I...Really, I don't know what to say! First, this is for all the gay men and women out there, for those who have the strength to live their life even if descriminations remain! It's also for my dads who are here with me tonight, thank you dad, thank you daddy, you give me strength, I don't know what I would do without you... And it's also for you, all of my fans, thank you for believing in me so much! And to finish, I would like to thank a special person tonight...A person that had been an inspiration for my role, there is a lot of this person in my character, more than you can imagine...A person that I know since High School even if we don't speak to each other anymore...A person that, like my character, has a great strength but doesn't allow herself to be who she really is...So...This is for you Quinn Fabray from Lima, Ohio! You are the real Mary Bright!''

Quinn's eyes widenned, ''What the fuck? What had she just say?'' she thought. She turned her head to Finn who didn't seem to understand the true meaning of the speech.

''That's so cool Quinn! Rachel just thanked you for your inspiration!'' He said with a proud smile.

Burt cleared his throat while Carole was fidgeting nervously on the sofa. Was their incoming daughter-in-law homosexual? Nah! That couldn't be possible!

Quinn watched them carefully, she knew what they were thinking. She stood up before any of them could ask any questions then adressed Finn.

''Finn, can we go back to our house? I'm tired.'' She said, trying to stay calm.

''Of course honey.'' He smiled before talking to his mom. ''See you later mom! And see you tomorrow Burt, have a goodnight.''

When the couple left the house, Burt and Carole stared at each other.

''Do you think that...'' Carole began.
''No! No! Of course no! She's marrying Finn! She can't be gay!''

''Then why Rachel would say something like that? And on TV?'' Carole exclaimed.

''I-I don't know...Luckily, Finn didn't seem to understand...'' Burt said.

''Yeah...''
