AN: To be fair to Charlie-she had no idea Rachel Berry had pissed off her twin. Had it been anyone else in the world and Quinn would have been polite. So no she couldn't have predicted that Quinn was going to act out. Not to that extent at least. If she had known then she wouldn't have invited her twin.

Anyway in the rough outline that I have of this story in my head, there will be two flashback chapters. They will be Quinn orientated. Everything else will be small ones, actual flashbacks. As for what the twins want, I splattered hints for Quinn throughout the second chapter and the sixth chapter, a cookie to the person who guesses it correctly.


"Sidney Greene," Quinn said as the man stood up and she leaned in to greet him let him kiss both her cheeks. "I heard through the grapevine that you were trying to revive Funny Girl, and I just had to see for myself and wonder if you needed any help producing the show. You know how much I love the arts."

Sidney Greene eyes widened, he'd heard that the Fabray twins were in town, but he never would have dreamed that Quinn Fabray would pay him a visit. Perhaps she was willing to help him produce the musical, she had been the silent partner to many of the musicals on Broadway. "Wanted to get a sneak peek yourself did you? Excellent I've seen some amazing talent but none of them are Fanny Brice. Perhaps with your keen eye we'll spot her together." He motions for Quinn to sit down beside him and looks at her two body guards both take a seat behind them. "Also quite a bit of terrible auditions, part of me wonders if I should have made an offer to Miley Cyrus," he says in a grumpy tone.

Quinn shakes her head, "She doesn't have the vocal range for such an iconic role and with a few scandals under her belt, people will come not to see the musical but to see if she's going to be a train wreck. So it's best to find some unknown and then make her famous. It's cheaper that way as well."

Sidney scoffed, "Bah, the stardom goes to their head fast, the moment they get an offer from a television show or a movie they want to leave for bigger and better things. At least with an established star there are less things to worry about," he grumbles shaking his head.

Quinn tilted her head, "That's why we have the lawyers Sidney. I know an excellent firm that is excellent at making iron-clad contracts. It's very—selective in their clientele, but one recommendation from me and I'm sure that they'll make you a client Sidney."

"That's mighty generous of you, they keep finding ways to break the contract that I already have, and it's terrible for business. I make a star and then they just run off and I'm stuck with dwindling ticket sales because no one really comes to see the understudy."

Quinn nodded in understanding, she could understand his hesitation, "Well who is auditioning next?" She asks crossing her legs as she looked at the stage.

Sidney Greene picks up his clipboard, "Oh it's just some walk-in, nothing to worry about. She's a bit old isn't she twenty-five with like no real acting experience," he shakes his head. "This probably won't be that good, but I hope you still think about being a producer for this musical. The young generation—they don't remember the greats like Barbara or Patti anymore it's all about Idina, and big movie stars like Hugh Jackman and Neil Patrick Harris. That's why I'm trying to revive Funny Girl, because we don't need things like Spiderman on Broadway. We need the classics. Good stories, with powerful and moving messages not flashy and expensive with little substance."

Quinn nodded not really paying attention to his little rant, "I understand exactly what you mean," she says with a nod, waiting for him to give the okay for the next person to audition to come on stage. She could have waited in the car, but she did like to invest in some Broadway productions a year, sometimes she lost money, sometimes she made some. It didn't matter she did love investing some of her money in something that wasn't tainted in blood.

"Rachel Berry," Sidney announced loudly and there was a pause before Rachel Berry walked on stage wearing her biggest smile.

A smile that lasted exactly two seconds as her eyes rested on Quinn Fabray who leaned back in her chair and Rachel could swear that she saw a smug expression on her face. She had to wonder if Quinn was stalking her just to mess with her, because this couldn't have been a coincidence. She couldn't be petty enough to make sure that she could never work in this city again. She didn't actually expect to get this part, and it wouldn't be good if she did. She'd never be able to do undercover work again, but it was Funny Girl. It was her favorite musical of all time. If she had chosen to become an actress this was the role she was born to play.

"When you're ready," Sidney said gruffly, wanting this girl to hurry up so he could continue talking to Quinn Fabray about being his co-producer. His silent co-producer, it would save him money if this musical was a flop and he was getting to old to take the hit.

Brittany Pierce leaned in, "Be nice," she reminded Quinn, "Even if she's really bad, this is for Charlie."

Quinn eyes flashed in irritation, she didn't even want to be here, and she certainly didn't want to see Rachel Berry again. She was loud and insufferable and she was currently staring at her, "We don't have all day," she said in a cold tone. "If you aren't capable of doing this then get off the stage I'm sure there are a thousand other girls that will be willing to take your place."

Brittany Pierce sighed, there went her advice. It was like Quinn enjoyed getting under the girls skin and she saw Rachel visibly stiffen and glare at Quinn for a moment before turning to Sidney Greene who still looked rather unimpressed. "Hello I'm Rachel Barbra Berry and I have prepared for you the song that has become—quite fitting for this audition and is from the musical itself Don't Rain on My Parade."

Sidney groaned, "I've heard this song at least forty times today, can't they be a bit more creative. Very few people can sing this song like Barbara," he grumbles, completely missing the dig that Rachel had sent at Quinn whose jaw had tightened. "Go ahead," he said with a dismissive wave of his hand.

Rachel kept her eyes focused on Quinn, who she knew was judging her, trying to get into her head but she wouldn't give Quinn the satisfaction. She would prove right here and now that she wasn't someone that had been gifted every advantage she had clawed and scratched her way to be where she was right now. So when it was time to sing, she did. Nailing every note, putting all her frustration and emotions into the song as she sang. Her gaze was focused on Quinn whose face remained neutral throughout the entire performance despite the fact that Sidney's jaw had dropped. Even Brittany and Dave were staring at her stunned.

But Quinn Fabray kept that mask on the entire time, and it nearly threw her but she'd been singing this song since she was a child, and she powered through, hitting the notes with just as much power and emphasis and emotion as she had before. Finishing the song with just as much flourish and emotion as she had started with.

Sidney Greene was on his feet clapping, and Brittany and Dave who still sat down clapped as well, but Quinn Fabray sat there with that impassive look on her face. She didn't clap she just sat there staring at Rachel and it was a shift and suddenly Rachel felt a bit self-conscious but she did a little bow and turned to Sidney, "That was excellent, one of the best damn performances I've seen all day." He announced, glancing over at Quinn but she didn't seem nearly as enthusiastic. He supposed that he would have to keep looking, "Make sure we have your correct contact information," he informed Rachel.

"Thank you for this amazing opportunity," Rachel said flashing one last look at Quinn Fabray before walking of stage. She had sung her heart out. And it seemed that she had impressed Sidney, which she supposed was all that mattered. Unless Quinn Fabray ruined it—ruined her shot—which was something she could see Quinn doing, she sent a mental apology to Norah because she really couldn't make any promises if she managed to confront Quinn Fabray again.

Sidney turned to Quinn, "You didn't like her? I thought she sang the song beautifully and with a bit of guidance she could be Fanny in the revival. We'd still have to see others of course—but I saw her singing there and I thought of a young Barbara. You're much too young to have seen her in her peak but man those days—"

"I'll help you produce the show," Quinn interrupted. "I'll have my people call your people and iron out a deal, but that girl—that Rachel Berry—she's the one who will star in your show," she informed him standing up. "Now if you'll excuse me, I've got business to attend," she informed him.

Brittany smiled brightly at her as she and Dave got up and followed her out of the theatre, "She was really good wasn't she Quinn. Like amazing, now all you have to do is say you're sorry—"

Quinn ignored Brittany, she didn't know whether she was furious that Rachel Berry actually had a modicum of talent, or if she was impressed that Rachel Berry had managed to prove that she was actually someone. Someone who could be a massive star on Broadway, she didn't understand how no one in LA or Chicago had picked up the girl before this.

"Are you stalking me?" Rachel demanded meeting Quinn in front of the theatre.

"Excuse me?" Quinn said her voice filled with annoyance, as she felt her own anger peaking, suddenly remembering probably the only reason they had passed over Rachel Berry. She was irritating as hell.

"Are you stalking me? This is the third time we've met in as many days. Didn't you say enough last night? Or is it now your life's mission to ruin all of my dreams?"

Quinn saw red again, she had just gotten this woman her dream job, starring in a Broadway musical. "You ungrateful little—"

Brittany immediately intervened slipping in front of the two and smiling at Rachel, "Hi, my name is Brittany," she said sticking her hand out. Rachel blinked in surprise, "I thought you were amazing up there. I'm actually Charlie's bodyguard but Charlie's super sad coz she really liked Norah," she informed Rachel who shook her hand. She was going to fix this whether Quinn wanted to or not. "So Quinn came here to apologize to you and Norah, right Quinn?" Brittany turned to look at Quinn.

Quinn glared at Brittany who didn't seem to falter under her gaze and she sighed, "Right," she answered tersely.

Rachel paused because if Charlie was sad that meant that Norah still had an in, "I wanted to thank Charlie for inviting me and apologize to her. That my manners weren't the best, I was just upset with her twin and I made a terrible scene, and ruined her date. I'm sure that I can convince my cousin to give her another chance. If she's still open for that date."

Brittany clapped because this was going better than she had hoped for, and she looked over at Quinn who seemed to be looking elsewhere but she sucked at being sneaky and Brittany could tell that she was watching Rachel. Santana had totally called it earlier this morning, Quinn liked Rachel—or at the very least was impressed by her. And Rachel hadn't caved into Quinn's bullying. Everyone caved to Quinn's bitchiness. Charlie and Santana did it because it wasn't worth the headache. She did it because it was generally best to let Quinn just have her way. She needed someone like Rachel in her life to tell her no. Actually so did Charlie and she hadn't been able to get a good read on Norah. "That sounds perfect, we were going to the zoo today to see the penguins and you're welcome to join us. If you're not too busy of course."

Rachel was taken aback by Brittany's kindness and she couldn't help but smile, it was slightly disarming and she couldn't believe for a moment that this girl was skilled at killing people. She seemed like someone who she could become good friends with, "I'm not but I'm not sure if my company would be appreciated by some."

Brittany followed Rachel's gaze to Quinn who hadn't said anything, letting Brittany be her mouthpiece and Brittany sighed inwardly again, "Quinn's kind of like my Santana, she just gets a bit of getting used to. It's like an acquired taste," she heard Dave cough trying to cover the sound of his snort. Quinn looked livid at the comparison like hell she was anything like Santana, but Brittany smiled at her. "Please say yes? I'm sure Charlie would love to have you and Norah. She really wanted to show you a good time last night."

Rachel made a show of thinking about it, "I'd love to come with you, but I have to insist that Norah and I pay for our own tickets," she gave a look at Quinn who looked back at her. "And maybe we can give back the—"

Quinn finally spoke up, "Keep them, consider it an apology for last night," she blurted out.

Rachel gave an exasperated sigh, "We don't—"

Brittany leaned in and whispered, "She thought you looked really pretty in that pale green dress yesterday. It's her favorite color," she smiled at Rachel and winked as Quinn shot her a suspicious look. "Do you need a ride anywhere? We can give you a lift right Quinn?"

Quinn was internally debating whether she would have preferred Santana to come along with her because Brittany was basically walking her through this situation, giving her looks and trying to prompt her to say something. Truthfully she just wanted her twin to talk to her again. So she smiled even though she knew it was tense. "We can," she said with a nod. She could be nice even if it killed her. It was probably killing her.

Rachel Berry studied Quinn again and crossed her arms over her chest because this woman had cost her a fake job, "Before we go—did you interfere with my audition?"

Quinn stared at Rachel for a moment, "I did," she admits with a shrug as she walks past Rachel who looks like she's about to blow another gasket. "I got you the job," she says bluntly and opens the door to her car, and slides inside. A smile tugging on her lips as she looks out the window. She's definitely scored a point against Rachel fucking Berry. Maybe now Rachel would show her the respect she deserved.


An: So cliffhanger sort of, will they fight more will Rachel be annoyed that Quinn interfered? Next chapter will be a continuation of this one and we're going to take a look at Norah and Charlie, and depending on how that chapter turns out we might get a look at the zoo.
