Anythings Possible

Brittany never really knew what would happen the day she saw her again, she thought maybe everything would click into place like at the end of a jigsaw, except does this piece still fit?


Santana was finally here.

Santana Lopez stood at the entrance of McKinley High School's gym, strangely she was not wearing a dress as you would expect, not even wearing the formal police uniforms those working within the force have been know to don for special occasions.

No this Santana stood head to toe decked out in the US Air Force military attire.

A solider?

Her hair was pinned back in an impossibly tight bun, accentuating her now more prominent cheek bones, a hat resting sung a top her head. A single medal was hung around her neck, blue, as well as another attached to her chest, purple, with more Banners littering her chest from all of her medals and commendations she had received, all attached to her jacket that fitted snuggly around her now more curvaceous figure, a pair of aviator wings resting proudly at the top for all those to see.

Santana's skirt was stopping just below her knee, respectable. Small kitten heels impeccably polished, not to too high, not even a pair of earrings, no jewelery at all, most importantly not a single thread was out of place, she was perfect.

A perfect pilot.

Standing erect and alert, Santana was looking round cautiously, eye's flicking from area to area still apparently unaware of the Glee clubbers, all with their mouths open watching her from the other end of the room.

Suddenly another woman appeared by Santana side, linking her arm gently with Santana who visibly relaxed against her frame before shyly smiling and pulling the woman through the doors and to the other side of the room, further away from her old friends.

Everyone was still shocked, none of them really believe that she would actually come too tonight, none of them actually prepared for what they really wanted to say to the woman now she was here.

Kurt was first break the silence, clearing his throat slightly before speaking softly yet confidently "Well if I'm not mistaken, and I rarely am, that my friends was a United States Air force getup, and I know my military outfits, one of my ex's had a thing" he smiled sheepishly at the last part, grinning when Guillaume swatted his arm playfully.

They all could just nod, yep that was definitely a military outfit.

They were all starting to notice each other now, amused by each others expressions of shock still etched on their faces, well they were aloud to be a little bit shocked right? Although Rachel was now looking at Puck as if she were slightly confused, as if this situation could already not be any more complicated than it is.

"I thought you said she was a police office Noah?" Puck frowned and muttered detective under his breath before looking back up to see if he could still spot Santana, truth is he was just as confused as everyone else, he didn't really know how to reply so he just opened and closed his mouth lamely a few time before he was saved by Sam;

"We don't know how long she's been a cop right?" Puck once again muttered detective but a little loader now, Sam nodded at him "right detective, whatever but did you see her chest" He was grinning at them all, they weren't smiling back, especially Mercedes who had raised one of her perfectly shaped eyebrows at her fiancée, it took a moment but Sam seemed to catch onto what he had said

"oh no no no, thats not what I meant! I wasn't looking at... those...they were covered up anyway, no did you see all those banners? You know the things that show of what awards you've gained and stuff, well Santana had a lot so she'd got to have been in the military for some time to collect all of those bad boys right?

and the two medals she had out as well" he paused, "did you catch them?... well I'm pretty sure and don't quote me cause she was on the other side of the room, I just saw the colours, but I think they were the purple heart and the freaking medal of honor!" Sam was smiling at them all, as if this news should be more important to them, their faces didn't match his, he frowned but continued on never the less;

"you know the purple heart? Those are offered up to those injured or killed during their duty..ring any bells?, come on! You've got to know that one?" apparently they did not, un-phased Sam continued again

"okay okay and the medal of honor? now that is a big deal" his eyes widening when saying 'big' as if to emphasize his point "my uncle used to go on and on about that one when I was younger, you know before he was committed, anyway only like 3,000 military personal have ever gotten one of them or something, I dunno, it's really not that many considering and you have to do something pretty spectacular to receive one of them!"

Everyone was staring at Sam strangely as if they had just discovered something new about him and were still deciding whether they liked it or not. Someone coughed.

"okkaaayyy, my Fiancées knowledge of medals aside what do we do now? Should we wait for her to come to us or do we jump her and throw her in the back of Pucks truck? Cause I'm all for option two and who the hell do you think that woman was with her?" Puck coughed and looked at Brittany with this, Brittany hadn't even noticed, she was still staring at the entrance, listening to everyone as they talked, absorbing everything about Santana she didn't know.

Puck rolled his eye's at Brittany, I mean it was her fault Santana left. He shuffled his feet, this was enough movement from the static group to take notice of and thus gain some attention.

"I can answer one of those questions Cede's" they waited, did he have some rope in his truck? That could help.

Puck looked over his shoulder and around the room cautiously fully expecting Santana to jump out and attack him for what he was about to say;

"Well err the woman right? Well errm... you see... well... okay I'll just say it" he swallowed hard,

"Seeing as Santana is you know gay and stuff there is a good chance that the red head is her girlfriend... or wife... or plaything or piece on the side or ohh friend with benefits, hell even..", Mike smacked him round the back of the head, Puck stopped, his eye's wide and looked straight at Rachel who was just shaking her head, smile just visible on her lips, some people don't completely change.

They all stared at Puck with this admission, all thinking the same thing, apart from that Puckerman was a perv, that Santana Lopez, the girl who slept with the entire football team one summer, was gay? What!

They didn't have much time to even ask Puck about that before they got another shock, a different voice this time, husking out being them

"well.. well.. well.. look what the cat dragged in"

They all herd it, they all tensed at it, a voice none of them had herd in ten years, it had gotten deeper and, well... was it always that husky and.. sexy? like liquid velvet?

They all turned at the same time, it probably looked comical to anyone looking on at the scene, as if it was rehearsed, all in formation, all in time.

Most were still a little open mouthed, looking at Santana and her lady friend who were a little puzzled and amused at all of their expressions, she spoke again

"wow guys, I'm impressed ten years and this is the reception I get?" she sniggered "i was kind of expecting a hug or even smile or something" she paused before shaking her "no wait actually I think a slap or a punch was what I was really gunning for" she was laughing gently as she said this, shooting a smile at her companion who just rolled her eye's in return.

Kurt spoke first, again, squeaking out impossibly high before anyone could greet the woman

"you're gay!", all eye's snapped to him, as if they were indeed hearing it for the first time again, Santana was gay.

Kurt seemed to realise what he had just said, moreover who he had just said that to so he flinched waiting for the physical pain to start, only it never came only another amused expression shared between the two woman before Santana spoke yet again

"why do I get the impression this news if very new to you all?" she shook her head slightly before zoning in on Pukerman "you kept that quite? Jeez with your imagination I would have expected all of the school to have know the day I had left!" little knowing that Puck has just reveled what was in his imagination.

"err hell no! I mean you never said not to say anything Lopez but I figured if I ever did you would rip my balls of or something, I see looking at your fancy ass outfit and medals you would have no problem actually doing that"

Santana started to laugh again, throwing her head back as she loudly chuckled at Puck.. thats when they first saw it, a thick knotted scar running from her left ear under her chin and stopping half way to her other ear, the white making a stark contrast to her natural caramel coloured skin tone, it was very off putting.

Santana laughed and whispered something in her companions ear while the others all looked at each other, all confirming what they had just seen with many other questions passing between their eyes, what were they going to do because:

A: this is the first time anyone has seen her bar Puck,

B: it was weird because this is a smiley happy Santana,

C: Do they have any right to ask her about the scar? The medals?

D: they just found out she was gay,

E, F, G, H, I, …... it goes on right...

Santana had stopped laughing and was looking expectantly at everyone, she opened her mouth as if to say something before Quinn stepped forward raising her hand as she went to slap Santana;

slaps were meant to make a sound right?

Looking round Quinn they could see Santana holding tightly onto Quinn's wrist, no one had even seen Santana react.

"easy their Quinn, don't get these 'fancy ass medals' for nothing" she raised her eyebrow threateningly before dropping Quinn's hand and linking it with the womans next to her, shaking slightly, taking a deep breath

"Puck said you had all kept in contact, that's nice" she was smiling again, her eye's a little harder than before, cautious of them all.

"girl where the hell have you been?" Mercedes asked from the back, pushing herself forward and being the first to latch onto Santana in a tight embrace. "in fact why the hell did you leave? And since when does Santana 'I spend all day manicuring my nails' Lopez want to join the army?" Santana pulled herself from Mercedes and lifted her hand stopping Mercedes from continuing to rant on

"okay okay easy Wheezy" she didn't stop smiling when she said this, she meant no harm "so you're all telling me that not only that you have just found out that I'm all about the lady loving but you don't even know why I left in the first place?" she shot a glance at Puck before looking at Brittany for the first time

"neither of you ever told? Ten years and you didn't think to mention it" she was laughing again, this version of Santana didn't seem to stop laughing, "ohh my god I bet you other guys were going spare and they had all the answers all along!" She was giggling now before looking back to Puck "wait to leave it till the last moment Puckerman" of course she would blame Puck, could she ever blame Brittany? "guess I better give the short version"

she didn't sound angry, far from it, just highly amused, like when a parent knows a kids done something wrong but its too cute to tell them off for. She looked at the silent woman next to her who just raised her eyebrows in return and motioned her head toward the group, shaking her head slightly when Santana winked at her.

Santana smiled fondly before turning to the group "okay short version, well I was a little dramatic in high school right?" a cough from her side, Santana nudged the woman "Anyway I was going threw my whole too scared to come out phase and being hopelessly in love with Brittany and so when I didn't get my way I made my dad move, a week later I realised that it was a bit of stupid move but I wasn't big on talking things through then so thats how things went" she shrugged her shoulders "Anyway we had already moved down to Miami for my papi's job and I was way too stubborn to talk to any of you"

this was indeed the short version.

They had all started looking between Brittany and Santana as soon as the formers was mentioned in the story.

Interesting.

Puck was frowning, that wasn't the whole story.

Brittany was thinking the same think except her face showed no emotion, Santana had missed the whole part about her cheating on Santana and letting her go, letting her leave, why was she being so nice?

Brittany was ready to face the disappointed glances of them all when they had learnt all that, but none of it came, she was ready to beg for all their forgiveness, for Santana's forgiveness, to make her talk to her again and how sorry it had all happened and how she wanted another chance, a friend if nothing else.

None of that was needed thought, Santana was all smiles at everyone, no angry glares for Brittany, in fact she had hardly looked at Brittany the whole night. That sucked.

"Brittany?" she zoned back in, looking to her right she saw Quinn along with everyone gazing at her, ohh yeah explanations, she looked for Santana but she was too wrapped up with Puck, hugging him tightly before letting go and introducing him to her friend, no girlfriend Brittany thought, maybe wife too, it was a bitter feeling.
