Chapter 1
Rachel does what?
AN: Hello there! So while I am having a block on some of my other stories I thought I would take a stab at an Evanberry fic. Don't know why but I think those two would be adorable together. Please review and let me know your thoughts. Enjoy!
Important Notes.
Quinn, Santana and Brittany didn't quit the Cheerio's they weren't forced to make that choice.
Sam and Quinn broke up because of the Finn incident.
Kurt never left McKinley.
Rachel was done with boys. After the latest show down with Finn she couldn't take any more. All she got was heart ache and she didn't need that anymore. She was going to turn over a new leaf in life and focus on her. She was tired of being the loud weirdo and she was about to change all of that.
"Coach Sylvester?" Rachel asked knocking on Sue's door that afternoon after classes were over for the day.
"What can I do for you Rachel?" Sue said motioning for Rachel to take a seat.
"I want to join the Cheerio's and before you say no I have prepared a list of reasons why you should allow me to join," Rachel said handing a piece of pink stationary to Sue while she continued to talk. "To begin I am in top physical condition exercising on a regular basis, I have been trained for twelve years in all types of dance as well as gymnastics, I'm small so I can be lifted and tossed easily," Rachel went on.
"I'm going to stop you right there," Sue said holding up a hand. "I like your spunk Rachel and if you can prove yourself against my other girls then you can join. Be at practice on Friday and we will see if you can keep up." Sue said dismissing her. Rachel smiled and practically skipped out of Sue's office. Rachel walked down the hall and into glee that day feeling like she was on top of the world for the first time in a while. She spotted Brittany sitting next to Artie and sat down next to her.
"Hello Rachel how are you today?" Brittany asked.
"Good Brittany I actually wanted to ask if you would come over to my place later and help me with something?" Rachel asked hoping Brittany would be willing to help. She was the best dancer that Rachel knew and if anyone could help her with cheerleading it was Brittany plus she didn't think that Quinn or Santana would be willing to help her.
"Sure Rachel why don't I ride home with you, as you know my cat Charity crashed my car and I could use the ride." Brittany told her.
"Sure sounds great." Rachel said as came in and started talking about there weeks assignment. They were all to find a song that represented where they were in their life right now and be ready to present it by the end of the week. Rachel was thrilled she was going to be able to showcase the new her by Friday. She was sure that Coach Sylvester wouldn't turn her down and she knew that she could stand up to anyone now. After writing and original song and seeing the kind of reception it received she knew she could take anything now.
Once glee club was over that day Brittany and Rachel walked to her car and slipped in heading to her house not talking about much at all until they pulled into Rachel's drive way.
"So what do you need help with Rachel?" Brittany asked as they got out of her car.
"I am trying out for the Cheerio's on Friday and I was hoping that I could enlist your help with some of the routines and cheers so that I am prepared fully at practice." Rachel said opening her front door and stepping aside to let Brittany in.
"Oh Rachel that is awesome. I am happy to help you." Brittany said bouncing inside the house. "Go get changed and then we can out back and work on some moves for you. Though I will tell you know if Artie offers you a magic comb don't take it." Brittany said walking into the living room and sitting down on the couch. Rachel just rolled her eyes and headed upstairs to change into work out clothes.
After what seemed like an eternity Rachel and Brittany finally took a break. Cheerleading was harder then it looked harder then Rachel realized and it just motivated her more to prove that she could do this.
"So Brittany have you decided what song you will be doing for glee this week?" Rachel asked as they sat at the island in her kitchen drinking bottled water and catching their breath after the last run through of a cheer routine.
"I think I will do some more Ke$ha." Brittany said smiling at Rachel. She was so sweet and innocent. Rachel couldn't understand how she was friends with girls who could be so mean.
"You do really well with her music." Rachel commented thinking about the options she had. Rachel drove Brittany home that night and they agreed that they would met up again the rest of the week to work more on Rachel's cheerleading skills. Things were starting to look up for Rachel Berry.
The next day when Rachel woke up she looked in her closet and pulled out skinny jeans from one of her glee outfits and a t-shirt along with some flat to wear to school that day. She braided her hair back and when she was satisfied with the way she looked she grabbed her bag and headed to school. Rachel walked into McKinley High and held her head up as she walked to her locker that day. She was grabbing her books for her first set of classes when Puck came over.
"Someone is looking hot today." Puck said leaning against the locker next to hers.
"Can I help you Noah?" Rachel asked continuing with what she was doing.
"Just wanted to let you know that Quinn and Satan got word about a certain someone wanting to join the Cheerio's and they are none to happy and to tell you that I still think that we are a couple of hot Jews and should hook up." Puck said with a wink.
"Noah I have told you before I don't think we work as a couple and I have no interest in hooking up with anyone." Rachel said closing her locker and leaving to go to her classes.
"Well the offer is on the table." Puck said before heading off to do whatever it is that he does instead of classes.
Rachel was in her last class of the day when Sam slide into the seat next to her. She didn't even realize that they shared the class together until now.
"Hey Rachel." Sam said turning in his seat to face her.
"Hello Samuel, is there something I can do for you?" She asked turning her head to see him.
"I just wanted to see how you were doing after the whole Finn and Quinn thing." Sam said giving her a sad smile.
"I am dealing just fine but how are you. Rebounding with Santana I am sure is helping some." Rachel said never thinking before to ask how he was since he was in the same boat as he so to speak.
"Yeah I really only did that to make Quinn mad, Santana isn't really my type." Sam admitted to her.
"I see well I may not be Santana's friend but don't lead her on. It isn't fair to her to be used." Rachel said.
"Oh trust me Santana knows how I feel about everything and I know why she is with me but I don't see it lasting much longer." Sam said. Rachel nodded and turned her attention to the front of the class room and the teacher who was now droning on about some feud that happened a thousand years ago. "You look really nice today by the way." Sam whispered to her before turning to face the front as well.
The rest of the week went by quickly enough and then came Friday morning and Rachel was nervous. She and Brittany had worked endlessly all week and now they were in the gymnasium waiting for Coach Sylvester to show up. The other Cheerio's all stood off to one side whispering to one another while Brittany and Rachel stood by the bleachers.
"Okay ladies we have a new recruit who is going to see if she has what it takes to be one of us. Rachel the floor is all yours." Coach Sylvester said taking a seat. Brittany gave Rachel a thumbs up as Rachel walked out to the middle of the gym and nodded to Brittany to start the music. Once she was done Rachel was proud of herself she remembered all of the steps and had completed all the gymnastics that her and Brittany had prepared. Brittany was clapping furiously as Rachel stood there panting looking at Sue waiting to hear her thoughts.
"Rachel see Q to get a uniform and welcome to the Cheerio's." Sue said standing up and jotting something down on her clip board.
"But Coach its Rachel Berry, how could you let her on the squad, we are going to have no cred if you let her on." Quinn said stepping away from the rest of the Cheerio's.
"Q get her a uniform and I would suggest taking some pointers from her she had five days to learn the routines and performed them better then you. Be careful or she make take your captain spot." Sue said walking out of the gym and left Quinn glaring at Rachel.
"Come on Rachel I will help you get a uniform." Brittany said taking Rachel's hand and leading her to where they kept their uniforms.
After showering and getting ready before school started Rachel took her new crisp Cheerio's uniform out of the dry cleaning bag and put it on. She looked at herself in the mirror and was stunned at what she saw. She was hot. Rachel actually thought she looked hot.
"You look great Rach." Brittany said seeing Rachel staring at herself in the mirror. "Come on we have a long day ahead of us and glee this afternoon. Did you pick a song?" Brittany asked as she and Rachel picked up their bags and left the locker room.
"Yes I did, you ready for your?' Rachel asked. Brittany nodded and Rachel took a deep breath before walking the distance to her locker. Everyone in the halls stopped and stared at her a lot of the guys giving her cat calls and wolf whistles while others whispered things like is that really Rachel Berry and am I seeing this right. Rachel just kept a smile on her face and walked to her locker getting her books and putting her bag away. The rest of the day went very much the same way with people staring at her but she did not receive one nasty comment or slushy facial which was a nice change. The day could not have gone better.
"What the Hell." Mercedes said as Rachel walked into glee that day. Everyone in the room became silent seeing Rachel in a Cheerio's uniform. All of the guys jaws were on the floor even Kurt's. He could believe his eyes.
"Yes Man hands has joined the Cheerio's, but I doubt it will last long." Santana said walking into glee and pushing past Rachel. Rachel didn't saw anything but took a seat next to Brittany again and waited for to come in.
"So who has song ready?" Mr. Schuester asked.
