Summary: A new girl moves to Lima and goes to WMHS. She quickly finds out what happens when she sings in the girls' locker room and attracts an interested Quinn Fabray (and Santana Lopez...in later chapters).
A/N: This is my first story, and I will take a little while with everything, so please be patient! Btw, I've decided to make the chapters smaller, so sorry if you guys hate shorter chapters (They will get longer though!) This is also unbeta-ed!
"Come on ladies!" yelled a frustrated Sue Sylvester, "You think this is hard? Try getting out of the Bermuda Triangle alive, that's hard! Nationals is in less than three weeks, so quit complaining and start running!"
"I don't know if I can take another lap, S," said Quinn Fabray, exhausted from running nearly five miles on the track, "it feels like practice has been going on all day." For her, it did feel like that. She had finally been accepted back as head of the Cheerios, with the help of Brittany and a reluctant Santana Lopez, and hadn't been to a practice since she turned in her cheerleading uniform to Sue last year during the Baby-Gate scandal.
"Oh quit bitching, Quinn," Santana barked at the blonde, "you can't be tired already? We have less than an hour till practice is done. I don't know why you even bothered to come back anyway, since we were all doing just fine without you."
"You mean you were doing fine without me," Quinn argued, "and it was my choice to come back. Besides, you even helped me!"
"Yeah I helped, only because of Brittany; she begged me to help you get back on the squad," Santana replied. It was true; Quinn knew that the only way to be back on the team again was if Santana and Brittany persuaded Coach Sylvester to let her back in-which worked perfectly.
"Whatever, S, at least I'm captain ag-"
"Shut it tubbers!" the Latina growled, "No one here wants to hear you brag about how you're captain again!"
Quinn smirked at Santana's remark, "Looks like someone's a little jealous today, or maybe it's because of your summer surgery." The brunette immediately gave a vicious look at Quinn like she was ready to strangle her, but then realized what Sue would do to her if she did hurt the new head cheerleader.
Calming down a bit, the two Cheerios felt an arm wrap around each of their waists, and figured out that it was Brittany. "Aww come on guys," the tall blonde said, "please don't fight! I don't wanna see you two mad at each other all the time!" Quinn and Santana both sighed and told their friend that they'd try to stop arguing with each other. After all, there was no use bickering with the bubbly blonde; she would always win. "B's right," Quinn replied, "we should just finish this practice and then go home." "I'm with you on that one, Q," Santana agreed.
When practice had ended, Sue reminded the girls that there was a mandatory practice in two days, since she had to rehearse for being back on the news for her well-known segment, "And That's How Sue Sees It!" It turned out that the number of viewers for the network kept dropping every week that her segment wasn't on the air, along with the head of the network getting complaints and letters wanting Sue back on tv.
The Cheerios decided to hit the showers, with that being said. Brittany, Santana, and Quinn were the last three in the locker rooms, and were done with cleaning up.
"I'm so tired I could sleep right now," Quinn spoke, barely able to keep her eyes open.
"That's nice," Santana said sarcastically, not caring in the least "me and Britt are going to her house."
"Yeah, we gonna watch Ratatouille! You wanna come Quinn?" Brittany asked, while Santana scowled silently at the question; the Latina didn't want to make the taller blonde sad, but she also didn't want a tag-a-long coming with them, since they would just have sexy-times after the movie was done.
"No thanks, B, I'm gonna sleep at my place tonight. Have fun though."
"Suit yourself, Quinn, let's go San!"
"Right now? How 'bout we get dressed, and then we can go," the brunette replied. It was still during school, and she didn't want anyone-let alone perverted Jacob Ben Israel-to see them leaving half-naked.
"Fine," Brittany agreed, "we'll get dressed, and then we can go."
When the two cheerleaders finished, they left to go home and watch the movie, leaving Quinn alone in the locker rooms.
The head Cheerio felt like she could fall asleep at any moment, so she finished getting dressed and then laid down on one of the benches. As much as they were uncomfortable, it was either that, or the cold, tiled floor. "Ugh...I can't keep my eyes open any longer," the blonde thought to herself, "I'll just sleep here for a little while, until someone comes to wake me up."
A few seconds later, Quinn heard the sound of the door open, but was too physically drained to even care to who walked in, and was too tired to care that the person was a new girl to McKinley High. All she wanted to do was to get some sleep. When the new girl turned on the showers and started to sing, however, all of that changed for Quinn.
