A/N: Hello everybody! I am back because people seemed to like the last chapter! I'm going to tell you now, if you don't like Pezberry relationships, friendship or otherwise, this story isn't going to be for you. If you want to know the endgame, you can PM me or leave it in a review [to the first Guest reviewer, you might be in luck ;), and I will get back to you! I just don't want to spoil the endgame for everyone. It will become clearer as the story progresses as to who is endgame. If anyone has any questions, as usual, feel free to PM me. This chapter should finish setting the scene and answer a lot of questions. I hope everyone enjoys this chapter, please review if you do, and I will see you all...on the other side!
A/N 2: Also, unfortunately, Finn and Brittany are, as of the moment, dead. This will all make sense this chapter, and their fate is undecided as of yet. This story does have strong supernatural/Sci-Fi themes, and if I could, I would have listed it as 'Romance, Supernatural and Sci-Fi,' but I can only do two. I thought I'd let you all know anyway.
A/N 3: I am so sorry that it has been this long! I normally try to update within a week or so of each chapter but my computer honest to god broke. This made the uploading process a lot harder as I had to use my mother's computer to edit and there was a lot of transferring of the documents, then I had to upload using the app and oh my god, it was terrible. Sorry, I hope you enjoy, and I'll see you on the other side! -Lauren's Glee Stories
...Last Time on 'Get it Right'...
A tall man stood watching the screen, turning to a young blonde-haired woman with a fond smile,
"You ready?" He asked her,
The girl spun around in a circle, "Yup!" She replied with a grin, popping the 'p'.
Santana's POV
Santana found herself standing upright again, somehow... Her vision cleared and she blinked a couple of times until the spots cleared completely, finding herself in... Wait, was she at McKinley...?
"Sorry," A Cheerio apologised as she just managed to avoid walking into Santana,
Santana blinked again, this time in confusion,
"I must have hit my head when I fell," She muttered to herself,
Santana found it strange being back in the halls of McKinley, as it was a place she always found difficult to return to, even in her dreams. Even more strangely, it looked exactly the same as it did when she attended. Even that one person walking past looked exactly like someone from her year.
Then, she saw her. A small figure in a Cheerio's uniform, her blonde ponytail swaying as she walked down the halls of McKinley with a spring in her step,
"Brittany?" Santana called out,
Santana figured that even though she was hallucinating/dreaming, there would be no harm in talking to Brittany until she came to. She tried to avoid thinking about Brittany. Her and Finn's death still haunted her.
"Brittany!" She called out, much louder this time, "Wait up!" She shouted down the hall, running to catch up with Brittany and tapping her on the shoulder,
Brittany turned around and opened her mouth as if to speak, but everything froze. And Santana didn't mean things 'figuratively' froze. Everything was literally paused. Like, nothing was moving.
"Britt?" She asked confusedly, waving her hand in front of Brittany,
"I can't hear you," Brittany's voice responded, just, not from Brittany...
"We're behind you," Another voice pointed out,
Was that-
"Finn?" She asked slowly, turning around to face Finn, who was standing next to Brittany,
Wait, what?
"Britt?" She asked confusedly, turning around and seeing Brittany still standing behind her, then facing Finn to see another Brittany, who squealed and hugged her excitedly,
"What the fuck is going on?" She asked after Brittany stepped back, more to herself than anything else, "I'm going mad," She decided, and looked at the Brittany behind her once more, "Why are there two of her?" She asked Finn, "And why is there one of you?!" She screeched at him, "Why am I dreaming about you? I never dream about you two. You're dead. My brain knows that. So, what the hell is happening?" She asked, launching into Spanish as she ranted about losing her mind,
"San, calm down," Brittany said softly,
Santana stopped her rant to look at Brittany, "Why is the world being so cruel?" She asked in a whisper, "As soon as I wake up it's going to feel like you guys dying all over again..."
"Santana," Finn said gently, "You're not dreaming," He told her,
Santana looked at him, horrified,
"Am I dead?" She asked in shock, "Is that what this is? Some weird purgatory?" She said accusingly,
Finn chuckled slightly, and Brittany looked a little confused, probably at the use of the word 'purgatory',
"Not exactly," He answered with a smile,
"Well, if you're not dead," Santana said slowly, "And I'm not dead... Who is dead?"
Brittany rolled her eyes and smiled, "Nobody's dead, San," She answered, as if it were obvious,
"Then what the fuck is happening?" Santana demanded,
"Brittany?" Finn said, obviously handing the conversation over to Britt,
Brittany cleared her throat and put on a very serious face, which was, admittedly, a weird look on her, "Santana Lopez," She started formally, "I, Brittany S. Pierce, am your new, official, guardian angel. I am here on a very rare mission to guide you through the past and ensure you make the correct decisions in the future," She recited seriously,
She turned to Finn with a smile, and he nodded in approval,
"Huh?" Santana asked dumbly, having kind of switched off when she thought she heard the words 'guardian angel',
Finn looked at his watch in concern, "We should find Rachel," He suggested, and with a click of his fingers, Santana suddenly found herself in the choir room, not the hallway that she had just been in,
Rachel was sitting on the risers, touching her head gingerly and looked around at the room in confusion. Just as in the hallway, everything in the room was frozen, as if someone had hit the pause button on a remote,
"Berry?" Santana asked in disbelief, kind of happy to see the face of someone she knew without a shadow of a doubt was actually alive, "This is some fucking twisted-ass dream,"
Rachel looked at her, a flicker of relief showing on her face, "Santana," She breathed out, "While I don't appreciate the crude language, I must concur with your sentiments," She agreed, looking around the pair of them,
"Rachel Berry, I, Finn Hudson, am your new, official guardian angel. I am here on a very rare mission to guide you through the past and ensure you make the correct decisions in the future," He told her seriously, reciting the same passage that Brittany had,
"Finn?" Rachel said in a slightly awed voice, reaching her hand out hopefully before pulling it back, "How are you- but, you're...dead... Did I hit my head?" She asked confusedly, touching her head carefully,
Finn waved his hand at her, "Enough with the formalities, you guys might want to sit down for this," He suggested wisely,
"What the hell is going on?" Santana demanded,
"We're in the past," Brittany explained with a patient smile,
"2011, to be precise," Finn expanded, "Our senior year,"
"Bu-wha-how is that eve- huhhhh?" She settled with, totally unwilling to accept that she had been magically transported back to 2011,
"Brittany and I are still dead, but in this timeline, we haven't died yet," He explained, "We're here as your guardian angels to make sure you take the right paths in your lives. My supervisor was very insistent that we do this," He told them,
"This is fucking insane," Santana decided,
"Look, in this present, Brittany and I are still alive, which is why, Santana, you saw Brittany in the hallway, but there is only one of you and Rachel, so you don't have to worry about bumping into yourselves," Finn explained as if it were great news,
Santana scoffs, "Yeah, that's exactly what I was worried about," She says sarcastically,
"Don't be mean, San," Britt reprimanded gently,
"What are we supposed to do?" Rachel asks curiously, just maybe starting to accept her fate,
"You just have to right your wrongs," Brittany said simply,
"And... what are they?" Santana pressed,
Finn frowns, "We can't tell you that," He apologised, "We'll try to be here whenever you need us, just call us and we should come," He explained,
Brittany nodded, "We can't be here all the time," She said apologetically, "Our supervisor always calls us to check in and I have to have tea with Lord Tubbington Senior every week,"
"This is officially insane," Rachel decided, agreeing with Santana's earlier statement,
"Look, all you have to do, is live through the next six to twelve months or so, and try to get it right," Finn said simply, "There are a few rules though," He added, "You can't tell anyone that you're from the future, not even your parents, and you can't do anything illegal." He says simply,
At their confused looks, Finn expanded on his comment, "It's a lot of paperwork," He said defensively, shrugging,
Rachel and Santana shared a look of complete confusion,
"Look, we have to go, just call us when you need, and we should come pretty quick," He said before he and Brittany faded away,
"Hey, wait!" Rachel shouted after them, "Finn!" She screeched indignantly,
"Wait for what?' Finn asked confusedly from the risers, meaning he must be present Finn, as in 'still-alive-never-killed-in-a car-crash-therefore-never-becomes-a-guardian-angel-Finn',
His voice made Santana realise that the room had gone back to normal,
Santana looked at Finn in horror, and gasped when she saw Brittany walk into the room, "Berry." She said in a 'no-nonsense' voice, "We need to talk!" She informed her glee mate, grabbing a still frozen Rachel by the arm and dragging her out of the choir room,
Santana pulled her into the nearest bathroom and checked the stalls were empty before locking the bathroom door behind them,
"What the fuck just happened?" Santana asked rhetorically,
"I don't know," Rachel muttered, sounding lost, "I was at home, and then I got a phone call and I passed out," She continued, pacing back and forth and rubbing her head,
"No," Santana objected, "I passed out, which means this is my dream and I'll wake up any minute," She decided, "Pinch me," She suggested, closing her eyes,
Rachel moved forward and pinched her arm,
"Ow!" Santana exclaimed, opening her eyes and realising that she was still at McKinley,
"This is my dream," Rachel decided triumphantly, "You need to leave,"
They were interrupted by a small, white piece of paper that floated down to the ground.
"What's that?" Santana asked curiously as Rachel picked it up,
"Santana and Rachel, it's not a dream, we promise. Finn and Brittany," Rachel read out,
"So we are just supposed to trust the two figments of our crazy joint imagination?" Santana threw her hands up,
"I trust Finn and Britt," Rachel said, "If this was a dream, we would have woken up by now, and it wouldn't be this real, and we wouldn't be sharing it. Besides, even if it is a dream, we would need to do what they say to wake up," She explained,
"Right," Santana agreed, "So, what do we do?" She asked curiously, "They didn't tell us anything,"
"Well, obviously, we are supposed to make sure they don't die!" Rachel said as if it were obvious, turning to walk out of the room,
"Wait, what are you doing?" Santana asked as she opened the door,
"What do you think I'm doing? We've been sent back to make sure Finn and Brittany don't die, so, that's what I'm doing," She answered with a shrug, walking out of the bathroom,
Santana frowned, but let Rachel walk off. She wasn't sure about Finn, but she was pretty sure Brittany wouldn't send her back to the past just to save her life. It didn't quite make sense.
She shook that thought off though, because; why else would she be there?
Rachel's POV
Rachel ran down the hallways to the choir room, running into the room and jumping on Finn when she saw him, hugging him tightly,
"Uh, Rachel...?" Finn replied confusedly, patting her on the back awkwardly, "You okay?"
"I missed you," She whispered into his chest,
"You were only gone for ten minutes," He told her in a confused voice,
Rachel pulled back quickly, "Yeah, I just meant, right," She mumbled,
"Right everybody!" Mr Schue announced as he walked into the choir room, saving Rachel from explaining why she had 'missed' Finn,
"This week our assignment is," He said slowly, walking over to the whiteboard and scribbling something on it, "Doubtful Duets!"
Rachel winced, she still remembered the first time they had done this assignment. The news of the assignment, along with the date in the top corner of the board, meant that it was late November.
After Mr Schue has handed out the assignments, Rachel asked to be excused and went to the girl's bathroom, checking it was empty before locking the room,
"Finn?" She called out cautiously, cursing herself for sounding like an idiot, "Uh, Finn? You there? I need to talk to you," she called out,
"What's up?" Brittany asked from behind her, sucking on a lollipop and smiling at Rachel,
"Brittany!" Rachel exclaimed, "You, uh, scared me," She laughed, "Is Finn around? I kind of need to talk to him," She explained,
"Sorry, he's busy, but he sent me to talk to you!" Brittany replied happily,
"Right, okay," Rachel agreed, "That's fine,"
"What did you want to know?" Britt asked, sitting on top of the counter,
"Um, I was wondering how much we are supposed to change?" She asked, before realising she didn't quite make sense, "Like, the first time around, Santana and I only became friends right before graduation, weeks before the car crash, and we are kind of…. Okay… with each other in the future, right?" She explained,
Brittany nodded to show her understanding,
"Santana and I aren't enemies anymore, but in this timeline we still are, and everyone thinks we hate each other. I'm not sure I want to go back to hating her for the next few months….." She continues, finishing her question,
"Ohh!" Brittany exclaimed, nodding quickly, then shaking her head, "The reason Santana and you were sent back to the past was to change the way things went," She explained simply, "So, you can do whatever you want," she shrugged, "Just don't make it too suspicious. Santana and you are supposed to become friends anyway, how it happens doesn't matter,"
"Right," Rachel nodded, thinking over what Britt had said,
"Anything else?" Brittany asked in a chirpy voice,
Rachel thought for a second before shaking her head, "No, Britt, that's all, thank you," she thanked gratefully,
"No problem!" She replied, before spinning in a circle and fading away,
"I need to consult my therapist," Rachel murmured after Britt had left, smoothing down her hair before walking out of the bathroom with a determined look on her face.
Santana's POV
As soon as Berry got back to the choir room, Santana asked to be excused.
"Dios," She muttered to herself as she walked down the hallway to the bathroom,
She pushed the door to the girl's bathroom open and walked in,
"Britt?" She called out cautiously, "Damn it," She cursed, shaking her head at how stupid she sounded, "Um, how do I do this..?" She asked herself quietly, "Um, Brittany Pierce? Oh, wise guardian angel… I need to speak with you?" She called out, wincing at the strangeness of it all,
"All you need to do is ask," Finn said in an amused tone from behind her, making her jump,
"Finnessa!" She exclaimed in shock, slightly glad to see him again, not that she'd ever admit it, "Where's Britt?" She asked confusedly,
His eyes shifted to the side momentarily, "She's busy, she sent me to talk to you," He explained,
Santana narrowed her eyes slightly, not quite believing him. She was, however, glad to see him, so she decided to ignore it,
"Right," She said slowly, "That's alright. I just had a few questions… You guys left really quickly…." She explained,
"Fire away," He invited, leaning against the sinks,
"I was just wondering about Rachel and me…" She started cautiously,
A mischievous grin flickered across his face but was gone as quick as it came, leaving Santana to believe she'd imagined it,
"Are we supposed to go back to not being friends? I mean, current me hates current Rachel, so what do we do?" She asked confusedly,
Finn shrugged, "It's really not up to me," He told her, "You're here to change how your lives went, you can do that whichever way you see fit," He explained, sounding much smarter than human Finn ever did,
Santana nodded determinedly, "Right, I can do that," She affirmed, "Thanks, Hudson," She thanked,
"No problem," He said with a shrug, "We'll talk soon," He farewelled before fading away,
Santana shivered slightly, "This is weird as shit…" She decided, checking her outfit in the mirror before strutting out of the bathroom, her HBIC persona already her default setting.
After school had finished, Santana was momentarily confused about what to do,
"Hey," Rachel greeted from beside her, looking out onto the car park,
"Hey," Santana greeted back,
"Were you wondering what we are supposed to do?" She asked conversationally,
Santana nodded, "Yep," She agreed, "I can't remember how I got to school," She said slowly,
"It's going to be kind of weird to see our parents isn't it?" She commented,
"They're only going to be three years younger than they are in our time," Santana reminded, "Or is it four..." She added thoughtfully,
"It's not so much them as it is us," Rachel replied,
Santana raised an eyebrow up at Rachel, "What do you mean?" She asked curiously,
"Well, we aren't the teenagers we were… well, now… We've changed a lot in the years since high school," She pointed out,
Santana thought briefly of her life back in LA, she'd definitely changed since high school….
"Yeah," She agreed,
Rachel scanned the car park,
"Look, I can see my car, do you want a ride home?" She asked,
"Sure," Santana agreed after a moment, "I've got a feeling we have a lot of catching up to do..."
Rachel winced and nodded in agreement, "I've got a feeling that you're right," She replied quietly.
