AN: I do not own Glee, Ryan Murphy does. I also do not have his brain for music so don't expect to many song quotations if any.

Coach Sylvester stood in front of her Cheerios glaring. Each and everyone of them sat there looking back at her with a sense of foreboding. The Coach wasn't happy. Even the new freshman new about Coach Sylvester. Rumours of her harshness where rife in all their middle schools. They knew that they were going to have a very physically demanding 4 years of High School. The benefits out weighed the humiliation that would come there way if they were not on the squad though. With out the armour of a Cheerios uniform they could very easily find themselves at the bottom of the social pile and McKinley, unlike any over high school in Lima or Ohio, maybe even the whole USA, bottom of the social pile was the one place you did not want to be. The freshman eyed their new coach knowing something had changed since try outs. At try outs Santana Lopez had been Head Cheerio then they had heard that she had been demoted and Quinn Fabrey was now taking over. This had relieved few of them because they had heard that Santana Lopez was actually Satan and hell on earth if you made a mistake and brought shame on the Cheerios. The rest who had older brothers and sisters at McKinley knew the lay of the land. If Santana Lopez was demoted and Quinn Fabray promoted then something serious had gone down. Their siblings had all warned them, if you want to live stay out of it. Then over the last week the shit had truly hit the fan. Neither Quinn or Santana where Head Cheerio. Their brothers and sisters had actually been begging parents for more time of school, some actually crying, they knew, war had been declared at McKinley High.

The proof was down there in the front row. Quinn Fabray was steaming. She spent her time glaring between the Coach, any freshman Cheerio who dared to sit near her and three male cheerleaders sitting nonchalantly several seats from her. Then over to the few remaining Cheerios from last years Squad, on the other side of her. She suddenly stood and stomped over to the boys.

"PUCKERMAN!" That's Noah Puckerman they had heard about him. Shouldn't he have a Mohawk.

"What's up Baby momma?" Yeh that's right he got her pregnant that's why they had been warned away from him by parents and siblings.

"Who is it, tell me now or your life will be hell."

"Ah come on Quinn you know I can't do that so stop asking, you will find out soon." Everyone was distracted by the doors opening and Santana Lopez walking into the gym. The expression on her face shocked everyone.

"What the hell you smiling at Lopez. You are no longer Head Cheerio." Quinn hissed at her. Everyone tensed waiting for the inevitable smack down to start.

"Get out of my face tubbers, its none of you business." Oh its so on everyone thought. Then to everyone's surprise Santana just sat down next to Puck. WTF they all thought. They watched as a very tense Quinn Fabray stood there confused.

"Fabray get your fat arse back into your seat." The Coach ordered with a steely voice. Everyone watched as the girl marched back to her seat muttering about her arse not being fat and how she had worked all summer to get back in condition.

"Right you useless bunch of mouth breathers. Yes all of you. I now place you all in the same category as that bunch of losers who like to call themselves a Glee club. Yes, you are all losers. This is officially the worst bunch of Cheerios I have ever laid my eyes on. While contemplating this disaster, that you all had brought to my door, I found out that my former champions and Head Cheerios had betrayed me. They had let me down. They had failed to spot something that had been sitting right in front of their eyes for a whole year." Quinn was looking at the Coach with confusion. "That means you doubly let let me down Q, that's why you will never be head Cheerio again Not only did you go and get yourself pregnant," Quinn flushed "You failed to make me aware of the true talent in this school. You are lucky to even be a Cheerio again."

"But Sant..." Quinn began

"I have already had this out with Lopez. She knows that she is in the same position. So can it Q. 4 weeks ago I had no chance of even winning sectionals. While contemplating medical experimentation and torturing you to try and improve what little talent you have I went on a trip. While having to suffer the presence of beer swilling Neanderthals, I saw this, Becky hit play, pay close attention lady's this is what you are aspiring to this year."

Every cheerleader in the room watched carefully. They couldn't believe what they were seeing. Just like the Coach and Santana before, they where gob smacked at the display and professionalism in front of them. Some became fearful about their chances of staying on the Cheerios not believing they had the skill to perform those kind of stunts. Others where excited with the thought of being able to try and emulate those skills. The previous years squad members, the boys from glee and Quinn Frabay nodded in understanding. That tall girl in the middle was obviously Brittany. When the performance finished Becky stopped the video before the singing as per the coaches instructions. No one noticed the two figure step quietly into the Gym and stand by the doors There was a brief silence before Quinn spoke.

"Coach I don't understand, that's obviously B but she was already a Cheerio and she can not be Head Cheerleader she's..."

"Watch what you going to say tubbers or I'll be all over your arse, if the boss don't get there first." Santana warned.

"I was going to say she's to nice." Quinn hissed at her.

"Well just warning you." Santana growled back

"Q, S, can it." the coach cut in. "I am not talking about Brittany I am talking about her partner. The most talented flier and acrobat I have seen." Quinn thought back to the video and had to agree. "What I want to know Q, is how that person can have been going to McKinley for a whole year and you and Lopez never informed me. You let me down Q, in fact because of you and Lopez I have had to jump through all sorts of hoops to get her on the squad. It was a waste of my very valuable time."

"Coach? She goes to McKinley, how was I supposed to know, I don't even know her name." Quinn whined.

"Well you should of and you do know her. Lady's meet your new Head Cheerio assistant trainer and Choreographer. Rachel Berry!" The coach raised her hand and Brittany and Rachel marched into the centre of the Gym to stand next to the Coach. Quinn's eyes bulged and her jaw dropped and she stood there looking at Rachel Berry as she moved across the floor towards the Coach. The freshman where confused because they had been told that they had to slushy Rachel Berry before the end of the month because she was the school loser. Mike and Matt just gapped, Puck smirked and the remaining members of the squad jumped to their feet in disbelief.

"No Way is that stubbles this is some kind of prank, Santana has fooled you Coach to make you give her back Head Cheerio. That is not Rupaul on that video." Quinn heard Mike whisper something about Berry being hot in a cheerleaders uniform. She turned and glared at them.

"Q, I am sure that Rachel will be dealing with the lack of respect in a second, but I can assure you that is Streisand. To prove I have had a edited copy for all of of DVD made and you will see. I want you all to study this performance from beginning to end. Now I am busy and have a conference call with two publishers about my auto-biography. See you at practice." the Coach turned and moved to the doors.

"Puck bring the weights please." Rachel spoke in a clear load voice. "Quinn front and centre." Quinn walked slowly forward still fuming. "I will tolerate no disrespect from my squad. What me and Brittany need, is for you to listen and respect us. If you don't listen and do as we say, people will get hurt. If people get hurt I get angry and we will loose at sectional nationals or any other competition. I don't like to loose, if you want to know how much I don't like loosing ask the Glee club."

"Tell us about it." Santana said.

"Puck give the weights to Quinn." he handed the 2 weights to Quinn. "Right Quinn I want 5 laps of the Gym holding them above you head before school starts, Puck you watch and make sure she does them"

"No way stubbles." Quinn hissed at her

"Fabray you know how this works. She is Head Cheerio, her words are my words get to it."

"Quinn from this moment on it is Rachel. So as I said 10 laps of the gym before school"

"But you said 5 before" Quinn moaned

"As I said 15 laps of the gym." at this point Quinn got the point and turned and began.

"Oh and Quinn make sure you shower before Home Room or it's another 15 after practice. Santana take over please Brittany and I have to have a brief chat with the Coach." She moved off as Santana moved up to stand by Puck who was watching Quinn.

"That was harsh don't you think." he whispered.

"No we talked about this we knew she was going to have to stamp her authority sooner or later. Luckily it was sooner and believe me from what B has told me she can be harsher, a lot harsher, even the coach was surprised. Rae takes this respect and injury stuff very seriously."

"Why didn't she ever react like this in Glee they have been just as rude in there."

"Come on what's the point, Schuester is in charge."

"Point taken." he said

Santana turned to the cheerios. "Right Bitches, this is now Rachel Berry's show. Me, B and Puck are are her number two's. Do as she says or I'll come down on you. Trust me when I say that is better than her coming down on you." Everyone in the room looked at Quinn and believed her. "You all need to go collect a folder and the DVD off Becky. In that folder is dietary rules and training schedules. Do what is required, we will know if you don't. There is also a new structure this year. Varsity and Junior Varsity. What group you are in is in the folder. You freshman are mostly Junior Varsity. This isn't a demotion. Put the work in and you will become Varsity. Do you understand."

"Yes."

"If you have any issues or Questions, do not approach Brittany, Rachel or the Coach, they will be busy. Come see me or Puck. Now get your stuff and get out of here." Santana watched as they all scrambled towards Becky. The small girl looked a little terrified but stood her ground knowing that Rachel and the Coach would protect her. And right on cue, Rachel's voiced barked out.

"KEEP IT ORDELY, IF YOU HURT BECKY YOU WILL JOINING QUINN WHILE I COME UP WITH A SUITABLE PUNISHMENT."

Santana watched in amusement as all they all froze. Then began an orderly cue by Becky. She turned and saw Matt and Mike waiting.

"You better get you stuff guys because you really don't want to get on Rae's bad side."

"You guys are just putting on an act to lay down the law, we have seen Berry in Glee she isn't like this really." Mike said.

"Oh trust me the real Berry you have never seen, where stuff like this is concerned she is totally different. You will be seeing a lot more of it this year. Trust me when I say she is badass, that video, she leads that lot and Brit has told me what she does to them when they fuck up. You think the coach is bad, she ain't got nothing on Berry, if you get on her Bad side."

"Your are joking." Matt asked sounding unsure.

"You see what she did to Quinn, nothing trust me. Did you see her face." The boys nodded suddenly realising what she meant. In the whole confrontation with Quinn she had had this sweet innocent smile. Rachel's voice barked out again at that point at Quinn who was bent over trying to get her breath.

"FABRAY! GET MOVING YOU HAVE 20 MINUTES TIL HOME ROOM AND I HAVE JUST ADDED 5 MORE LAPS FOR SLACKING."

"Oh my god she is actually evil." Mike groaned, fear written all over his face.

"In Glee, the Gym or at practice. Yes she probably will be. She will also be the same Rachel she has always been. Sweet, kind forgiving and annoying, talks to much when nervous with big long words. All those things you thought where Rachel Berry will still be there. Its simple respect her and listen to her and Brit and you will have no problems. You saw the video its dangerous stuff." Mikes phone buzzed he pulled it out of his pocket to read the text.

"Its Tina." he said then a bemused look came over his face.

"You told her already" Santana asked

"No she asked but she won't believe me. She was just telling me that she saw Mr Schuester coming in. Apparently he has no hair. Eyebrows everything gone."
