AN: Okay guys, this is the last chapter before all the fun begins. I'm sorry that the last chapter was lacking in words. I felt that it was important to showcase the immediate affects that each group has on the other. But trust me when I say that once the characters are officially "introduced" to their counterparts, there will be no details spared. As always I owe everything to Allie and Sara and a huge thanks to Erica for reminding me that I am sane. Without their encouragement this story would have never seen these pages.

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the errors and a few characters that will be introduced throughout the story. Glee unfortunately belongs to RIB and any song that I may choose to use in this story belongs to the amazing artists who poured their hearts into them. With all of this said, let's move on to the next chapter, shall we?

Mission to Tear Down the Walls

It has been a month since the gang had moved to Coldwater Canyon and between getting the house set up and spending ten to twelve hours a day in the studio, Rachel hasn't seen anyone that doesn't live in her house except for her producer, Artie. Home alone, she decides the best way to spend the day is to relax out beside the pool. She is so happy that her friends have adapted to the Los Angeles lifestyle so well. Quinn is currently in a meeting finalizing Rachel's contract for a new romance comedy, "Full Moon" which will start production in two months. Santana is out shopping declaring that Rachel needs a new Los Angeles makeover, while Blaine is filming for his new TV show "Happy High" which he auditioned for the week after they moved to Los Angeles.

Rachel has been resting on her chaise for about an hour reflecting on her life when she is startled by a loud shriek. "Oh my Prada, they were telling the truth, Rachel Berry is indeed my new neighbor."

Rachel raises up from her chaise and walks over to the low fence that separates the properties with the biggest smile that she can muster, "Kurt Hummel, I presume?" as she reaches her hand over the fence to shake his hand.

"Please call me Kurt and I apologize that you had to meet the cavemen before you met me, I'm so glad that they didn't run you off."

"Of course not, Puck seems very friendly, your brother hardly spoke except to say that he knows who I am from West Side Story," shrugging her shoulders, "he seems less than thrilled to have new neighbors."

The fact that Finn remembers Rachel from when they went to see West Side Story shocks Kurt, "Finn hasn't always been like that, he was hurt real bad by a woman; so unfortunately the only life he cares about now is his work." Rachel can't help but the think she knows just how Finn feels. "Enough about my grumpy brother, I hear that we are going to be working together on "Full Moon" in a couple of months. I was so excited to learn that I would be dressing a real woman with curves instead of a stick figure!" Kurt says interrupting her thoughts of self pity.

Rachel smiles at Kurt and is getting ready to tell him how excited she was that he's going to be supplying her wardrobe when she is interrupted by Blaine coming out of the house.

"Rachel?" Blaine hollers from the terrace doors as he walks down the stairs.

"Oh my, who is that, and please tell me that he is single and swings my way?" Kurt sputters.

Giggling at the look on Kurt's face Rachel says, "That is Blaine Anderson, one of my room mates." Looking over to Blaine, "Hey Blaine, come meet our other neighbor, Kurt." Not missing the looks that they're giving each other, Rachel turns to walk back to her chaise when Kurt spoke up "I know that it's only two weeks away, but I would love to invite you and your friends to our Independence Day Extravaganza, it is the party of the summer and I will not take no for an answer", he adds while not so subtly staring at Blaine.

Rachel laughs nervously "Well since you said that you won't take no for an answer, is there anything that we can bring?"

"Absolutely not, just be sure to bring your bathing suits for our water volleyball battle and be prepared to be here way into the night. Our parties usually end at sunrise; I'll see you all around noon on the fourth, tootles," Kurt says as he walks away, already deciding that Rachel Berry is perfect for Finn. "She is the one who can mend his heart and I, Kurt Elizabeth Hummel will make it happen" he whispers to himself.

Blaine turns and looks at Rachel and says, "Well, he is just a bubble of joy, isn't he?" with a dumbstruck smile on his face, he adds sincerely, "I really am going to enjoy living here."

"Moving out here is exactly what I needed, we found the perfect home," pointing over at her neighbors' backyard, "and the perfect neighbors, it seems." Rachel says with a smile on her face.

"And the best part, no Brody in sight!" Blaine adds as he wraps his arm around his best friends shoulder, walking back to their backyard.

A/N: So tell me what y'all think? Next up the 'Party of the summer' and you will be seeing more familiar faces.
