Alright everyone. Here's the next chapter. I've got a rough outline going so I should update pretty regularly. At least once a week. I hope that's alright with everyone. I hope y'all like it!

Chapter 2

BPOV

Brittany was excited! Today was a day that she had glee practice. That meant dancing and she loves to dance. She's also excited cause she would see Rachel. She won't admit it to S or Q until she has something concrete to tell them but she's worried about Rachel. Something is wrong, she can feel it, and she just doesn't know what it is. Oops, Mr. Schue was there. She'd have to worry about it later.

Before Mr. Schue can say anything other than "Good Afternoon" Rachel has her hand in the air and is asking to make an announcement.

Brittany smiles 'maybe she's better than I thought' she thinks as Rachel makes her way to the front.

"Good afternoon everyone. I just wanted to let everyone know that I will no longer be participating in Glee Club. I'm sorry for the inconvenience but I cannot stay." Rachel states.

The room erupts. Q and S are snickering that Rachel couldn't handle the pressure and that they are better than her. Mercedes and Kurt are yelling at her about trying to ruin their chance for nationals this year. Tina and Artie look like they're mulling things over and coming up with ideas. Mike, Sam, Puck and Rory look like they couldn't care less. Finn looks constipated. Seriously, does he ever get that look off his face? Mr. Schue is yelling at Rachel for not being a team player. She sees Rachel's shoulders start to droop and she can tell this all hurts Rachel but she just looks…resigned. Is that the right word? She thinks it is.

Brittany is confused. She knew Rachel had changed and that something was wrong but she didn't think it was this bad. She thought that Rachel was going to make an announcement about a song she wanted to sing. Not to quit. Apparently she was wrong. This does seem concrete enough to bring her worries to S and Q later. She knows that their "hatred" of Rachel was fake but Sanny said that they weren't allowed to be nice to Rachel. She doesn't understand why. She knows Sanny loves Rachel. S has probably noticed the change in Rachel too. She resigns herself to talking to Sanny about it as soon as practice is over as she watches Rachel calmly walk from the room. Rachel's shoulders are slumped and she looks sad as she walks out while everyone continues to yell at her.

She rests her head on San's shoulder and waits for everyone to stop yelling. She wishes she could fix this but right now she can't do anything.

Santana is taking her and Q home so they're all walking to San's BMW together. She's skipping ahead of the two and trying her hardest not to blurt out what she's got on her mind. She knows that it's probably a sensitive subject and decides to wait until they are in the car. She's getting impatient.

"S. Q. Hurry up! I want to go feed the ducks!" She called back to them. She knew the pond would be a good place to discuss this with her two best friends. Once she sees them nod their acceptance and pick up the pace she smiles. She decides to make them hurry up by dancing around them and quickly herding them towards the car. Kinda like Lassie. She was a herding dog, right? Lassie was helpful, too! Lassie ran though, she's going to dance. It's much more fun.

"San did you notice how unRachel-like Rachel looked? I mean she quit Glee. I've been watching her and I think something is wrong. Lord Tubbington agrees. You know how he always knows these things." She asked Santana while she feeds the ducks.

"I don't know Britt-Britt. It's probably just a phase or she wants some attention. You know how much she likes the spotlight," Santana sighed. She couldn't understand why San was saying this. She thought for sure that San would see the changes in Rachel.

"I think it's bigger than that. I don't know what but I'm going to figure it out." She then proceeded to point out why she thought something was wrong with Rachel. How quiet she was. How she quit glee. How tired she looked. All the while Quinn sat there with a serious expression on her face. Like she was thinking real hard, but she stayed quiet.

"Alright Britt-Britt. Let me know if there's anything I can do or what you find out. I'm sure she fine though," Santana states. To Brittany it sounds like she's starting to doubt that. Maybe San just doesn't want to admit that something is wrong with Rachel. She doesn't know why San would do that though.

"Me too. Though if B is right maybe we should at least stop the slushies and try to keep an eye on Manhands," Quinn interjects.

Everyone agrees that this is a good idea. Getting the slushies to stop should be pretty easy since they are the top three girls in the school and basically run the place. They decide they'll also try to keep an eye on Rachel but Brittany is the most perceptive when it comes to people so they all know that she'll probably notice more than the other two. And with that they all decide to head home.

Laying in bed that night she starts thinking of ways to keep an eye on Rachel without the girl every knowing that she's being watched. Or at least a way to figure out what's wrong. She can feel it that something is wrong. She decides that the next time she's alone with San she'll ask her why she isn't seeing it or admitting that she sees it. Those are the two big mysteries that are swirling around in her mind. Ooh mysteries! She could make this like a Scooby Doo episodes where they solve the mystery. She decides she'd be Daphne and she'd rename San's car the Mystery Machine since she drives them everywhere. With that she falls into a peaceful sleep now that she feels more prepared for the future.
