A/N: Hey guys, sorry this update took SO long! I had it half way done but then I didn't like it so I started over and then I found out the news about Cory and got a little shaken up and sad but that's not really my excuse. The point is I didn't update on time, it's my fault, and I apologize. The next one will hopefully be up sooner I have it started so maybe. Ten reviews and I will DEFINITELY update that day! I promise!
"Berry, why do you always invite unwanted guests to get coffee with us?" Santana asked glaring at a Warbler across the table.
Rachel elbowed her friends arm. "Santana, Hunter is a friend of Sebastian's which means that we have to at the very least tolerate him as well."
Sebastian smirked at the scowling Latina. "I have to put up with you don't I?"
Santana scoffed. "Oh please, you guys are freaking lucky that I grace you with my presence."
Rachel rolled her eyes. "Santana can you please at least act nice? Hunter did help get my suspension taken off of my record, and they're our main competition at regionals so it's good to let each other know that we respect each other and that the competition won't come between us."
Hunter smacked his lips. "Well actually I don't like to fraternize with the enemy, but since Sebastard here has decided to be in love with the star of our competition I have to make sure that he doesn't do anything too stupid. Oh and by the way the insults are welcome, they remind me of home." Hunter ended with a smirk directed at Santana.
Sebastian turned to glare at his friend. "Sebastard? Really?"
Hunter shrugged. "It seemed fitting since you are putting our team in serious jeopardy by continuing to be with the midget over there."
Santana chuckled. "I like this guy, Berry."
Rachel's mouth gaped open. "Midget? I will have you know that I am just two inches below average height."
"Two inches is still two inches." Hunter said smirking.
Rachel returned the same smirk. "I'm not so sure why you think that your team is going to win at regionals, I mean we have more diverse voices on our team and that means more variety. You guys are really just one trick ponies."
"Really Rach? Did you have to aim it at the whole group?" Sebastian asked somewhat offended.
Rachel put a falsely sweet smile on. "I'm sorry, I'm just trying deflate Hunter's head."
Hunter scoffed. "I may have a big head but at least I have a reason for it, I'm extremely talented. You on the other hand have a huge ego but no talent to match."
Rachel gasped offended. "Have you won fifty-three singing competitions? Didn't think so!"
"Well whatever, talented or not you guys have no chance at winning with us doing Michael Jackson."
Santana's eyes narrowed. "Hold on, you're doing Michael? No no no, we're doing Michael, you guys just do your regular top forties shit."
"I'm afraid that we can't, after Sebastian here told me about your guys' genius artist choice I couldn't resist." Hunter said still smirking.
Santana turned to Rachel outraged. "How did Sebastian know about this Rachel?"
Rachel shrank in her seat. "I may have told him, but he wasn't supposed to go blabbing to his teammates." Rachel said pointedly to Sebastian.
Santana's HBIC smirk fell into place. "I think that a sing off is in order, parking garage, tomorrow, three o'clock, bring your Warblers. Winner does Michael." Santana said as she dragged Rachel out of her seat and began pulling her towards the door.
"Where are we going?" Rachel asked nervously.
"To go tell the glee club that you blabbed and that we have a sing off tomorrow."
Rachel moaned in discomfort as Santana pulled her away.
Rachel knew that the 'sing off' wasn't going to go well, and she had been correct.
First of all, she knew how ridiculous she looked in her leather jacket. I mean somebody could have told her not to wear a dress because it would look ridiculous.
That wasn't even close to the worst part, but we'll get there.
They all insisted on walking in at once and of course even the preppy school boys in matching blazers looked more menacing than them.
After a few moments Rachel caught her favorite Warbler's eye and he began sauntering over.
"Why Ms. Berry, don't you look adorable in your leather jacket?" Sebastian asked rhetorically in a condescending tone.
Rachel chuckled and playfully slapped his arm. "Shut up, do we seriously have to do this stupid sing off thing? Can't we just get over it?"
Sebastian shrugged. "It's not up to me, but good luck convincing the devil over there." Sebastian said cocking his head towards Hunter.
Rachel cracked a smile at his little joke at Hunter's expense, but just moments later her face fell. "This whole sing off thing is your fault, you know that right?"
Sebastian quirked an eyebrow. "My fault?"
Rachel nodded her head as if to say 'Well duh!' "You were the one who told Hunter that the New Directions were doing Michael for regionals after I specifically told you not to!"
"Why did you tell me anyway?"
Rachel shrugged. "I was excited, and you're my boyfriend, I'm supposed to be able to share things with you."
Sebastian scoffed. "Oh come on, it's not that big of a deal, and to be fair had the roles been reversed you so would have told the New Directions."
Rachel stumbled for words only getting out some form of gibberish. "Whatever." She finally settled on.
Sebastian smirked at his unspoken victory before pulling her towards him as Rachel peeked behind her at the dangerous glares that the rest of her glee club (including Santana) was giving her for associating with the enemy.
"I should probably go to my team. I don't need another lecture." Rachel said with a sigh.
Sebastian chuckled when he let her go. "Well I would say good luck but I really want to win."
Rachel shot him a smug look. "Well I am going to tell you good luck since I know you'll need it to even have a sliver of a chance to beat us."
"If you say so babe."
Sebastian and Rachel both turned on their heels and went their separate ways.
Just as Rachel suspected the sing off went badly, she just hadn't expected it to go quite as badly as it did.
They had totally beat the Warblers, and this was clear to Rachel when they were about half way through the song. The Warblers however had most definitely had them beat in the "Bad" department.
This became obvious when Rachel felt herself basically being thrown out of the way by Blaine and just moments later hearing an earsplitting scream escape from the former Warbler.
She had, had enough slushies in her life to know that while they were painful they never caused quite this much pain and damage.
After a few moments she tore her gaze from Blaine to the Warblers, most of which stood there with their jaws wide open including her boyfriend.
All of them except Sebastian shied out of the garage at the intense glares coming from Santana and Kurt.
Rachel folded her arms heatedly. "Care to explain?" Rachel bit out bitterly.
Sebastian stepped forward swallowing thickly with his hands in his pockets. "I can't, I had no idea that they were going to do that."
Santana growled at the Warbler. "May I suggest walking away before I whip out my razor blades and cut off some parts that I have a feeling you find quite valuable."
Sebastian was about to protest before he saw the look of anger almost mixed with disappointment on his girlfriend's face. He sighed in defeat as he followed in the direction that the other Warblers had just went.
Much to Sebastian's surprise it hadn't been hard to get in contact with Rachel again, he had been sure that this was going to be one of their long, strung out fights that lasted days.
All he had done was call her and ask her if they could talk and she just said yes. Never had it been so easy.
So here they were, meeting at their normal spot at the Lima Bean (with Santana as chaperone to make sure that they didn't get off topic.)
A small smile crept on the Warbler's face as Rachel walked towards the table and basically fell into his arms.
"Um Rach, I missed you too but I sort of expected you to be all pissed until I got to explain."
Rachel pulled away abruptly. "Why should I be pissed? I believed you when you said that you had no idea and unless you had some involvement in that, that you didn't tell me about I see no reason why we need to fight as well."
Sebastian smirked and pulled her back towards him. "I told you everything that I know, which is nothing."
Rachel smiled softly moments later as she carefully pealed herself away from Sebastian. "I'll be right back, I just need to use the ladies room quickly." Rachel excused herself politely leaving Sebastian and Santana to sit at the table in an awkward silence.
Sebastian felt the Latina's heated glare on him. "Satan do you have a problem or something?"
Santana smirked. "Actually yes, look we may be cool and sort of friends but believe it or not I actually care about glee club. This is our last year and I'll be damned if I let you screw it up by manipulating Rachel."
Sebastian raised an eyebrow. "Manipulating Rachel? Where the hell did that come from?"
Santana scoffed. "Oh please, I don't doubt that you love her but let's face it you want to win. You and I are pretty similar, we'll do anything to win including taking advantage of what we love."
Sebastian leaned back with an amused expression. "Satan I'm insulted that you think we're anything alike. Yeah we're both conniving, insulting bitches but the difference is, my insults are cunning while yours are just expected and ruthless. My pranks are suspenseful while yours have one element to them. And finally I would never hurt the woman I love for some stupid show choir competition, so whatever theory you had is wrong."
Santana spotted Rachel returning back to the table out of the corner of her eye and groaned. "This isn't over." Santana spat quickly before returning her expression to a neutral one.
Santana hadn't been kidding when she said that it wasn't over. The next day she had shown up at Dalton dressed in a short black skirt with a matching blazer.
Sebastian walked into the practice room with a cocky grin on his face. "Is this going to take long? Because I sort of have a girlfriend that I'm going out with tonight to see Kurt's one eyed boyfriend."
Santana smirked. "No it shouldn't take long for me to kick your ass verbally."
Sebastian raised an eyebrow. "Verbally? I don't think that's how we do things around here."
Santana's eyes widened as a disbelieving smirk appeared on her. "You want a duel? Fine, but you would have been better off getting your ass kicked verbally."
Sebastian out his hand out to stop her. "Stop talking, you'll want to save your voice if you want even a chance to beat me."
Santana narrowed her eyes at the bronze haired boy before signaling for the cellists to begin playing.
Their duet was amazing, both of them brought their best and who won and who lost was never really determined but quickly forgotten.
Sebastian panted, out of breath as he looked Santana square in the eye. "This is about Rachel isn't it?"
Santana looked at the ground before scoffing. "What? No, this was strictly for Blaine to try and find out what they put in that slushie.
Sebastian smiled softly ignoring her protests. "You aren't mad at me because you think I'll manipulate Rachel, hell you probably don't even give a damn about glee club. You're mad because Rachel will never return your feelings. You're mad because you can't openly express your feelings."
Santana laughed sarcastically. "Well that's just great, congratulations you figured me out. I told you from the beginning, I'm not in love with Rachel it's just a damn crush. Do you know what it's like to not be able to do as much as flirt with the person you like because they'll get freaked out and try to get a restraining order against you?"
Sebastian sighed. "Well I did once upon a time. But that was before I discovered my real feelings."
Santana started wiping furiously at the tears that slid down her cheeks and as she tried to escape the large room that appeared to be shrinking.
Sebastian stepped forward and wrapped his arms around the crying girl. "Shh, Santana it's okay, I know it's hard but it will work out I promise. You'll find somebody amazing who returns your exact feelings and you won't have to feel ashamed."
Santana sniffled a little more as she melted into the friendly embrace. "How do you know?"
Sebastian stepped back. "Because, there's that one person out there for everyone, no matter who you are they're out there. Sometimes it just takes a little longer to find."
Santana smiled as her tears begun to cease. "Thank you Wonder Boy, and for the record I know you aren't manipulating Rachel."
Sebastian smirked. "Anytime Satan, now come on we've got an evil Warbler to interrogate."
Santana chuckled as they started towards Sebastian and Hunter's dorm.
They walked in taking strides of confidence and amusement at Hunter's wide eyed expression at seeing Santana.
"Um is there something I can help you with?" Hunter asked shakily.
Santana crossed her arms as a smirk appeared on her face. "Not much, just answer a simple question and I'll be out of your hair."
Hunter regained his usual confidence and sat up straighter. "What do you want to know?"
"I'm pretty sure that you know already but just in case you really are that big of a dumbass I'll ask anyway. What was with that slushie you threw?"
Hunter sighed. "Look, it wasn't supposed to hurt anyone, I don't know what was in it that did that damage but I didn't mean to."
Santana studied him for a moment before deciding that he was telling the truth. "Ok I believe you, but one last question, why Blaine? Blaine is the nicest person on our team, why him?"
Hunter looked at the ground with wide eyes and let out a nervous chuckle. "Well that's the thing, it wasn't actually meant for Blaine. It was meant for Rachel."
Sebastian rose a dangerous eyebrow. "You were aiming for my girlfriend?"
Hunter put his hands up in defense. "Look as I said before I didn't mean to hurt anyone. I just wanted to shake her confidence a little since she had all of that big talk at the coffee shop the other day."
Santana's smirk stayed in place. "You're not totally off the hook but you're better than you were, and next time you try to hurt Rachel just remember that I keep razor blades in my hair."
Hunter raised an eyebrow and nodded wearily.
"Well now that, that's settled we should be going. Come on Wonder boy, Berry and Lady Hummel are waiting for us in Blaine's hospital room." Santana said pulling the Warbler up with her.
Once they got to the former Warbler's room they quickly noticed the absence of a certain bossy, female, brunette.
"Where's Rachel?" Santana asked cautiously eyeing the couple in front of her.
Blaine shrugged. "I don't know she never showed up."
As if on cue the door burst open revealing said brunette.
"Sorry I'm late, the mail took longer than usual to get here today and I had to wait to see if there was a specific letter in there." Rachel said holding back a smile.
Santana grinned. "Judging by the look on your face you either, a.) just had some head board rocking sex, or b.) got your NYADA letter. And since the person who rocks your headboard is with me I'm going to guess it's the second one."
Rachel smiled widely and pulled the letter out of her purse only to have it ripped out of her hands by Santana who pulled her in for a large hug.
Rachel got passed around the group each of them offering their congratulations until she finally got to Sebastian.
Sebastian pulled her towards him so she was facing him. She put her arms around his neck and smiled. "I made it to the finals."
Sebastian kissed her forehead before resting his own on it. "I knew you would."
A/N: So yes? No? Good? Bad? Let me know in your lovely reviews! Anyway I had fun with this chapter and I'm kind of proud of it. One last thing, I still can't decide how I want to do season four, tell me what you guys want to happen. Do you want it to be fluffy at first and have him go with her and have other drama later on? Do you want them to have a long distance relationship or do you want them to just break up and get back together eventually? Or anything else that your creative minds can come up with. Let me know! And once again thanks for your awesome reviews!
