Thank you for reviewing guys it means a lot! Especially coming from the people that have reviewed I've read your stories and do honestly admire your writing.
This story is quite angsty and ofcourse will lead to Faberry eventually. Just to clear a few points up Sam and Quinn are married, Quinn doesn't really have friends since she's now back with her dad Russell and Russell isn't a nice person. Quinn's a bit reclusive.
Santana and Brittany are together, couldn't not place the two together. Puckleberry will have a strong friendship as I love the two on the show, I promise to keep them just friends.
Rachel went straight from high school to Julliard and developed a strong relationship with Beth.
Beth looks up to Rachel as a sister and wants Rachel to reintroduce her to Puck and Quinn.
Rachel introduced Beth and Puck and they instantly got along.
Rachel hasn't seen Quinn since high school and Rachel may hold a grudge, and that's why she slushied Quinn :P
If there's anything else that's confusing people Just ask! I know there'll be some differences I'm from England so there may be some differences, I don't know much about Lima so take some thing's with a pinch of salt. This is my first ever Fanfic and I do know where the story's going, it's just the middle bit that's changeable.
Thanks again guys! x
Chapter 3
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
"You did what? Are you stupid Rachel, I didn't even meet Quinn some idiot was running around like a hooligan, slipped and his drink went all over me." Realisation finally hit a perplexed Rachel Berry; she did have the decency to look ashamed.
"I thought that-"Rachel tried to plead her case but Naomi interrupted;
"I know what you thought Rachel that you left Lima and everyone and everything stayed the same, but just like you've changed so has Lima, Quinn may still be a bitch but she might not be. You all left high school behind" Naomi finished scolding Rachel and left Rachel to her own thoughts.
Rachel knew she had to apologize, even though Rachel had encountered many slushies ordered by Quinn in high school, that's just when it was High school, they're now adults. So Rachel got started by baking her 'I'm sorry' cookies, she was going to apologize properly.
Rachel had made her cookies and was now on her way to pick up Beth from her ballet class, Rachel decided to walk to think over her apology for Quinn; Rachel liked to be prepared.
Rachel had picked Beth up from ballet and after much pleading from Beth had decided to stop of at the park. Rachel sat on the bench near the park as Beth played on the swings, she loved watching Beth playing with other kids and having fun.
Rachel loved life when she was Beth's age, junior school was kind to Rachel, and everyone loved her bubbly personality and daring clothe choice. Neither one to admit in high school but, Rachel and Quinn were actually really close as youngsters.
Rachel and Quinn both started junior school on the same day and instantly struck up a bond no one could quite touch, Quinn would hang of every word Rachel spoke and Rachel spoke a lot even at a young age, no one dared interrupt Rachel or Quinn would stare them down and put them in their place. Santana once tried;
"Last night daddy let me stay up to watch funny girl and it was great, I hope I can sing like that it was so… so-" A 5 year old Rachel was struggling to find a word from her range of vocabulary to describe Barbara's voice.
"Rubbish, Gosh Berry. You weird" Santana was quick to pounce on Rachel's struggle.
Rachel's lip began to tremble and her eyes started glossing over with tears. Quinn couldn't stand seeing Rachel upset.
"Shut up Santana, just cause you're stupid" (At 5 years old 'stupid' was a massive insult) Quinn looked right into Santana's eyes. (From this day forward Santana knew that when Quinn used that look she needed to back down and so she did.)
"Rachel! Is that you?" A giddy Brittany walked towards Rachel squinting to make sure Rachel was real. Rachel stood up from the bench so they could both get a better look at one another. As soon as Brittany knew it was Rachel she made a run for her. The next thing Rachel knew she was being spun around in Brittany's arms.
"Britt!" Rachel squealed "Britt put me down this instant" Though Rachel was glad to see Brittany a simple hug would suffice.
"I'm used to seeing you on the TV but you're here right, I haven't just left my 3D glasses on again have I?" Brittany reached out to pinch Rachel.
"Ouch! Brittany Pearce you just spun me around of course I'm here"
"Oh… just one time I was hungry and the food on the telly looked so real but it wasn't, 3D really kicks ass Rachel" Brittany was wearing her signature grin "what were you thinking about I was shouting you for ages before you answered?"
"Well I may have run into Quinn yesterday at her work and it didn't go quite to plan" Rachel decided to leave some details out.
"Did you see my Santana she works there to?"
"No I don't think so Brittany; it is a big building though."
"Don't worry you'll see her tonight at the bar we're going to"
"I'm not going to a bar Britt"
"Yes you are, tonight at 7 we'll meet you at the bar in town, it's the middle one there's only 3." Brittany told Rachel, and who was Rachel to argue since Rachel would be in Lima for a while she decided she might as well meet with them.
"Brittany who's we? Just you and Santana or will Sam and Quinn be joining us?" Rachel was a bit worried she may have to face Quinn tonight.
"Just me and Santana, Quinn never goes anywhere she's kind of boring. You can invite Sam if you like. Rachel is he your boyfriend?"
"No Sam is Quinn's partner …right?" Rachel was starting to get confused now
"But Quinn's married Rachel"
"Brittany, Quinn's married to Sam surely you remember him" Rachel knew she wasn't getting through to Brittany "Remember he went to high school with us?" Brittany still had a blank expression "Barbie and Ken… he has floppy blonde hair and big lips" and just like that a light bulb switched on.
"Oh! Lady lips. Santana calls him lady lips I forgot his name" Brittany looked happy that she finally knew what Rachel was talking about.
"I've got to go" Brittany was just about to leave when she added "And Rachel, wear something sexy like you do on the telly cause I want to see your legs, they're so long but you're so tiny, can I measure them" Brittany glowed.
"I'm average height Britt, and are you not with Santana surely you shouldn't be checking people out" Rachel tried to ignore Brittany's question.
"Santana doesn't mind she says you have a nice pair of boobs" Brittany quickly kissed Rachel on the lips and walked away swaying her hips as she left.
Rachel was shocked; Santana Lopez thought she Rachel Berry had something aesthetically pleasing.
Rachel quickly left with Beth, Beth had noticed the exchange between Brittany and Rachel and asked Rachel who Brittany was, Rachel just told Beth she was an old school friend and left it at that.
Rachel was too busy worrying about what to wear, not because of what Brittany had said just because she wanted to look her best, well that's what she said to try and convince herself.
