******Okay So this is a brand new fic, Obviously I don't own any of people but we can but dream okay**********
This set after Journey, and most of the things that happened on screen happened in my story too, Rachel is very good friends with Brittany in this story though, they grew up living next door together and have always been friends despite their obvious social differences.
During the summer break Rachel and Brittany have been away at a performing summer school in London.
Mercedes and Kurt have been making jewellery and selling it on Ebay, they've also skyped at least once a week with Rachel and Brittany once a week, despite their differences they are starting to become pretty close.
Quinn is living back with her mother and has spent all summer trying to get herself back in shape in order to regain her Cheerios crown with the help of Santana.
Puck and Quinn have spent the summer dating but its nothing serious.
Finn and Puck are best friends again.
Matt and Mike have spent the summer trying to get two girls out of their heads, Matt has gotten a ridiculous crush on Santana but she doesn't seem to be interested in revisiting their relationship and Mike has spent the summer mooning over Rachel and has had to be physically restrained by Matt on several occasions because after a few drinks Mike always gets it into his head that he should fly to London and declare his love for Rachel.
Artie and Tina have been dating and are very happy together.
This story starts two weeks before school restarts and to begin with we are going to join Rachel and Brittany in London.
Brittany was laid out on her bed chatting on web-cam with all her friends back home, the glee gang had congregated at Arties so they could all catch up. Brittany was currently regaling Mercedes and Kurt with stories of some fashion show her and Rachel had managed to crash and much to the amusement of everyone Brittany insisted it was Rachel who had been the instigator. Silence fell for a minute, then Mike unable to keep quiet anymore had asked where Rachel was, he hadn't actually seen her since before she flew out, Brittany grinned like she had just discovered the meaning of life and she had let out a giggle and told them all that Rachel was out with a boy, not dating she had assured them not wanting to upset Finn who had declared his love for her or upset Mike who was obviously besotted with her, she told them that someone had come in and given their class a talk and Rachel had been probably the only person who hadn't swooned over him and afterwards they had gotten to talking and that evening he had taken them both out sightseeing the real London, she laughed at Mercedes and Kurt who were clapping wildly for the resident diva, and anyway she's out with him tonight they've gone to see 3 sisters, but I don't know whose sisters. Santana had let out a cackle and gently told Brittany that 3 Sisters was a play. The group chatted a bit more but Brittany kept yawning so they decided to hang up the web-cams and promised to catch up when they were both back.
Brittany was curled up in bed when she heard muffled voices outside, immediately she sat up and tried to eavesdrop as best she can
"I had a lovely time" that was Rachel's voice
"Me too, I wish you weren't leaving so soon, it hardly seems fair" that velvety posh British accent could only belong to Mr. Swoon-worthy and then she heard what could only be the unmistakeable sounds of kissing, Brittany squealed silently and as she heard the door open she flung herself down on the bed, and tried to pretend to be sleeping but Rachel flung herself on Brittanys bed
"Little minx, I know your not sleeping" Rachel said pulling the covers off Brittany's 'sleeping body' "You don't want to hear about the most amazing kiss" and those magic words made Brittany bolt up in bed and grab her friend and pulled her to her feet and they bounced on the bed chattering and exclaiming. Hours later after the excitement had passed and every single detail had been analysed, they were both laid in Brittany's bed facing each other
"Its dumb but I'm going to miss him" she smiled sadly in the dark "I mean here its like a fairytale but in two weeks I'm going to be back in school and he's going to be back…." Her voice trailed off
"back in Vancouver being a total teen icon" Brittany finished for her "Look DivaB its been two months and you spend time together all the time, I mean he even introduced to us to Elle Woods cos of that film he's doing with her, although I didn't think they'd ever make another Legally Blonde film" Brittany chattered on and Rachel tuned out, maybe Brittany had a point I mean they were pretty good together but given that that his next film was due out soon she had absolutely no idea how she would cope with her boyfriend being caught up in that media swirl, her phone beeped and she flicked it open
"sweet dreams Ray- be ready at 9 2moro, I want to give you a last day to remember, and make sure Brits ready too iv got someone for her to meet xx" Rachel squealed and Brittany looked at her and stopped chattering and tried to read the message on the phone but Rachel was moving so much she couldn't, eventually she read the message "oooooh Rach, who do you think he's bringing for me" and the girls fell into a typically girly rant about perfect outfits and hair and other inane things and eventually fell asleep, each girl dreaming of what tomorrow would bring.
*****yes Is probably is completely obvious who Rachel's 'friend' is but Its not mentioned here*********
The next chapter is set after the date and is when Rachel and Brittany are back in Lima and they are at Santana's house discussing their summers.
