The make over
Santana walked into her girlfriend's house and up the stairs to the bedroom, a bag flung over her shoulder, she opened the door and walked in, her girl turning to face her as soon as she heard the door open, a beaming smile taking over her face.
'I wondered when you would turn up.'
Santana placed her bag down and sauntered over taking her girl into her arms, she kissed the soft plump lips and pulled the tiny body up against her.
'I missed you today' was hummed against the Latina's lips as they were massaged by another pair.
'I missed you to Rae' Santana said as she pulled away from Rachel but didn't let go.
'What's in the bag?' Rachel asked eyeing it curiously. Santana smiled excitedly at her.
'I thought I could give you a makeover' Santana said she saw her girlfriend's hesitance and smiled softly. 'Just for fun Rach, and if you don't like it then fine and if you do then cool' Rachel smiled nervously up at her girlfriend before nodding her head slightly giving her consent, she laughed when Santana squealed and clapped her hands before rushing to her bag and setting everything up, make-up, hair equipment and a bunch of clothes that didn't fit her or wasn't her style anymore but she knew would look great on Rachel. She had even bought a few especially for her girl. Rachel chuckled and sat down letting Santana get to work.
The next hour was filled with Rachel's hair being pulled twisted and styled, her make-up being done and re-done, outfits being picked out and tried on. After that hour Rachel stayed in one of her favourite new outfits. It was black khaki pants with a ripped black t-shirt with a silver pattern on them, a cap like the one from when they sang empire state on her head, she smiled at herself in the mirror before turning to Santana with a smirk in place.
Santana was staring at her as if she hadn't just done all of the work and had only just seen the girl or the first time.
'Babe I am totally wearing this to school tomorrow' Rachel said taking the cap off before lifting her top off and chucking it at Santana's face with a chuckle, Santana laughed and walked to where Rachel was standing looping her arms around Rachel's waist from behind and leaning her chin on the girls shoulder.
'As long as I'm the only one who gets to see you out of those clothes that's fine by me' Santana says, 'now how about we give your floor a makeover?' she asks innocently.
'Oh and how are we going to do that?' Rachel asks her with a raised eyebrow, Santana moves the hair off of Rachel's left shoulder exposing her neck and she starts to kiss down it.
'I think your floor needs some new clothes on it' she says Rachel rolls her head to the right for Santana to have more access as she closes her eyes and hums.
'I think I agree' she says and with a chuckle she's guided to the bed and they start to give the floor Santana's version of a makeover.
The next morning and they both come out of the shower giggling, Rachel swats Santana's wondering hand away with another chuckle and a role of her eyes before they both get changed, Santana getting distracted along the way and ending up chasing Rachel around her bedroom before tackling the girl and getting the kiss she so desired, Rachel laughing underneath her. They finally manage to get ready and head downstairs.
Santana's not surprised when Rachel's fathers aren't there, she is actually yet to meet them, she knows it's rare for even Rachel to see her dad's. They have some breakfast with Santana still staring hungrily at Rachel getting some fond eye rolls and a playful slap, Santana just chuckles, she can't help it her girlfriend is fucking sexy as hell.
'Hey babe?' Santana calls out as Rachel sort a drink out to take to school.
'Hmm?' is all she gets in return and takes that as her turn to talk.
'What would you think of joining the cheerio's?' Santana asks and she hears coughing and spluttering coming from behind the fridge door, she bites her lip to keep the amused smile off her face. Rachel pulls out from behind the door and looks to look at her girlfriend, Santana just smiles sweetly at her.
'I uh what I mean uh ugh' Rachel stumbles out and if Santana wasn't seeing how this was actually affecting her girlfriend she would of laughed hysterically, instead she laughed until she was crying and then stopped.
'I've seen you, when you think the fields empty you go there and I've seen you do the routines we've practiced which means you've at least been watching, your amazing Rachel so please will you think about it?' Santana asked and looked at Rachel with sincere eyes.
'Uh yeah... think... I will' she says and then turns around and thinks about she was doing before. Santana cannot help but think about how fucking adorable her girlfriend is.
They leave soon after that Santana bites her lip as she watches the conflict in her girl's eyes, Rachel's been quiet ever since she mentioned joining the cheerio's and Santana knows it's because she is actually thinking about it.
They pull up into school for the first time together, they at least decided to act like friends at school, Rachel gets out the car and starts her journey to school, Santana quickly catching up to her and Brittany joining them soon after with a slight smile on her face. All three enter the school together with Rachel stuck in the middle of the two girls, she watches as everyone turns to look at her and the outfit she is wearing, she sees a different looks then she is used to in people's eyes, instead of disgust and the evil glints she is used to she has envy, desire and a little bit of want coming her way, she has to stop herself from walking backwards away from the attention her new look has caused, but she doesn't, she's stronger than that, they get to her locker and luckily Santana and Brittany happen to be just across the hallway from hers. She's getting her books when she feels a tap on her shoulder, she uses the mirror in her locker to see who it is and whether it's a slushie or not, when she sees Kurt and Mercedes behind her she sighs and turns around to face their scrutinising gazes.
'What?' Rachel snapped out after a minute's silence.
'What have you done with her?' they ask at the same time, Rachel raises an eyebrow at the both of them.
'Who?' she asks them.
'Look whatever she did to annoy you I am sure she is sorry just give back' Kurt said.
'huh what the fuck are you on about?' Rachel said started to get irritated.
'I don't want to anger you I promise, just give us Rachel back and we will leave you be' Kurt says, Rachel rolls her eyes slams her locker shut and manages to do a perfect storm off to the opposite side of the hall way and to Santana and Brittany who was watching the conversation go on between the three.
'Shall we go to class?' Rachel asks as the two girls nod before walking with her to their next lessons.
Santana doesn't really see much of Rachel after their first lesson and then when its lunch she doesn't really get to interact with her girl as the others are too busy asking the smaller brunette questions. Santana can tell Rachel's still quiet and conflicted about her suggestion this morning, she really wanted to talk to the shorter girl about her suggestion but she knows she can't at the moment.
At the end of last period she sees Rachel walking down the hall she rushes to catch up with her.
'Hey' she says and catching Rachel's attention, the girl looks up to her and smiles.
'Hey' the girls says quietly and if she didn't know Rachel outside of school she would of thought that it was weird but she does know the girl, better than anyone else actually so she doesn't stress about it.
'Look Rach about what I suggested this morning, if you don't want join the cheerio's then that is okay, it would have been nice for you to be there it would give us another reason to hang out but I don't want to pressure you into something that you aren't comfortable doing' Santana tells Rachel and the small brunette can see the honesty in girlfriends brown eyes.
'San I know you wouldn't make me do something I didn't want to, its okay don't worry' Rachel says with a smile. Santana nods and then leaves Rachel to go to her cheerio's practice, she misses Rachel going to her locker and pulling out her gym clothes, she soon follows in Santana's direction.
All of the cheerio's are confused when Sue suddenly stops the practice.
'Don't worry you sloppy babies you will continue your practice in a minute I have an announcement' Sue shouts through her mega phone, no one noticing the short brunette waiting behind her in the shadows. 'I want you to welcome your knew teammate' and she gestures for the brunette to come forward, everyone gasps in and Santana's eyes widen when she sees her smirking girlfriend stood next to her coach. 'She isn't in her uniform because it's only just been measured, if I catch anyone giving her crap you'll have me to deal with.' Sue says.
'But coach' gets called out from the ranks by a familiar nasally voice.
'What stretch marks?' Sue barks.
'We haven't seen her try out how do we know if she is any good' Quinn shouts up to her coach.
'If I say she's-'
'No worries if they want me to show em how it's done then I will' Rachel says cutting of Sue, who turns to look at her, she sees a smug smirk on the girls face and can't help but think of the girl reminding her of herself.
The brunette slowly walks down the stands stretching her arms as she does and on the second to last step she jumps into a forwards summersault landing on her hands and going into a front flip before completing one of the cheerio's hardest routines perfectly. The cheerio's watch stunned along with Sue. She stops in front of the squad.
'Outstanding' Sue says through the mega phone, Rachel looks back and cocks a smug eyebrow, then looks at Santana.
'Surprise' she says and they all take it as she's talking to all of them, but Santana knows better, she smiles at the girl happily.
They start practicing the routine and Rachel surprises them all by already knowing it, Rachel scrunches her face up at on bit and stops before walking to Sue.
'Berry what are you doing?'
'The middle, it isn't right' Rachel said.
'Of course it is, I know because I thought of it'
'No it doesn't go with the rest of the routine, when you come out of that turn you should make every other girl do a back flip and make a separate line behind the others instead of us keep turning, most of us are getting to dizzy to concentrate on the routine, put the flip in and then get us to turn out of it and it will look better and more synchronised' Rachel said standing up to her coach, the coach raises and eyebrow and stands up to intimidate the small girl, only to have the brunette to look up at her with a cocked eyebrow. 'Whatever Sue you know I'm right' Rachel says and folds her arms against her chest keeping the coaches stare. Sue cracks and genuine smile graces her features.
'I like you Berry' Sue says.
'Well duh' Rachel says, Sue chuckles.
'You got balls Berry, wait a minute' the girls of the squad had stopped after Rachel had decided to leave the routine and they were focussed on their coach, she pulled the mega phone to her lips. 'Listen up you useless bags of horse poo, Berry brought up an excellent point and for it I am promoting her to captain, Santana you will be her second in command, Brittany her third.' Sue states and Rachel looks up wide eyed.
'WHAT?' was shrieked out from the crowd and Quinn storms forward 'NO WAY! That little midget is not taking my spot, I earned it, she's been here for two seconds no that is not happening.'
'Shut up you cry baby, I decide what happens this is my squad and Rachel is my captain, you're lucky I even let you back onto my squad now shut up and get back in line' Quinn scowls and glares at Rachel before going back to her place. 'Rachel tell them your idea' Sue tells her and the girl runs off to do so. They finish their practice and all enjoy a shower, Santana and Brittany give her a congratulatory hug once they are finished and Quinn gives her a harsh glare that she just ignores, she grabs the letterman jacket and uniform that was placed in her locker by Becky during practice and walks off to meet her girlfriend at the car.
The next day Rachel was in her new uniform, her letterman was on and she walked out to her car, driving to school and meeting up with Santana and Brittany outside the entrance and all three make an entrance, again Rachel was in the middle but this time instead of feeling like insecure, she walked down the hall like she owned the place and had all the power in the world, she was a show of confidence but on the inside she was anything but, she didn't like the stares she was getting and the fact that she was captain has turned a girl that she was becoming friends with against her. Speak of the devil, Quinn approached her and she swallowed at the glare she was receiving.
'I thought we were friends Rach' Quinn said through gritted teeth.
'We are' Rachel insisted.
'No, no, we were' Quinn said making to put emphasis on the were, 'you stole my position, I worked hard for that and you took it, you do not deserve it' Quinn growled and stormed of Rachel looking after her.
Rachel sighed, the rest of the day she avoided almost everyone only being with Brittany and Santana, they tried to talk to her but she hardly said anything, she was thinking over Quinn's words, was losing a friendship worth being a captain? She just sighed and leant against Santana as they had lunch in the auditorium, Santana looked down at Rachel and slid her arm around her.
That practice they were doing another routine, they were going to form a pyramid at the end with Rachel on top and Santana and Quinn because they were the same height just underneath her. They ran the pyramid through once with no problems.
'Okay you simpletons time for the whole routine.' Sue shouted through the mega phone. They all nodded and got into the starting position and they started, they performed it perfectly and then got into the pyramid, they stood there and smiled Rachel had her right hand fisted and pumped into the air, they all missed the evil glint in Quinn's eyes before she shifted and all of a sudden Rachel was falling from the top down in front of her and landing on the floor with a food and a tiny bounce, Quinn regretted what she did immediately when she saw the girl that had become her friend lying unmoving on the floor. Sue was already sprinting to the girl and the girls were dismantling from the pyramid, Santana somehow being the first one to Rachel, followed quickly by Brittany.
'Rach?' Santana asked her girlfriend who was still unmoving.
'Rachel?' Brittany asked but she got nothing to.
'Rachel please baby wake up' Santana said not caring that everyone had just heard her call the girl in front of her baby. They heard a groan and then the girl lying on the floor shifted and rolled on to her back coughing.
'San? What happened?' Rachel asked with a croaky voice.
'You fell honey, from the top' Santana told her.
'But we were stable right? We were holding there was no way I could of fallen.' Rachel said finally opening her chocolate eyes, it held some pain in it and she moved to sit up.
'That's because she didn't fall' came a voice they all knew and they turned to face their coach.
'What? What do you mean she didn't fall?' Santana asked.
'Quinn would you like to explain?' Sue asked turning to the quiet girl who looked regretful, 'Or shall I?'
'She wasn't meant to get my spot I didn't mean for her to fall I just wanted to scare her' Quinn told them. Santana stood up fire in her eyes.
'What?' she gritted out.
'San I didn't mean to...'Quinn trailed off not knowing what else to say.
'You mean you knocked a girl who is your friend of the top because you wanted her spot?' Santana said stepping closer to Quinn who flinched back.
Santana felt a hand on her shoulder. 'Leave it San, please'
'No, she should never have done that, how pathetic can you get!' Santana shouted out.
'San come on I think we need to get to the school nurse anyway just leave it, she isn't worth it.' Rachel tells her calmly as she stared at Quinn who looked down ashamed.
'You stay away from my girlfriend Quinn understand' Santana growls out and then without letting Quinn say anything she pulled Rachel away.
'That's it girls you can go now, Quinn stay behind.' Quinn nods and watches as all the girls leave. 'Q, Q, Q, what on earth were you thinking?'
'Oh come on coach it's not like you wouldn't have done it.'
'I may have thought about it, but I would never have done that to a coaches' niece, you are suspended from the squad for two weeks.'
'What? Coach, no!' Quinn shouted, 'look I'm sorry I didn't mean for it to end that way.'
'But it did Quinn and that's not what a team is all about, I put Rachel as captain because she stood up to me, she didn't back down when she was making a point that she was in fact correct about, I never seen anyone do that, as you can see I do not favour anyone whilst in school and coming to cheerleading, not even niece, you have to earn it, you just broke my trust, and you showed me that you cannot work in a team and for that I need to do something and so I am suspending you from cheerleading for two weeks, once that time is up then you can come back' Sue says and leaves to check on Rachel.
Quinn stands on the field stunned for five minutes before she slowly made her way to the nurse's office, she walks into to see Santana and Brittany laughing along with Rachel, she knocks on the door and Santana's head moved to her, a glare already taking over those brown eyes.
'I uh came to apologise Rachel' Quinn told her 'I was so stupid and pathetic about a spot on the squad and I put that before thinking about how much danger you might have been in, and I am so incredibly sorry.' Quinn tells them.
'It's okay Quinn' Rachel says shocking them.
'What?' Santana yells incredulously.
'I know that spot means a lot to you and I'm sure my aunt has probably punished you enough for what you did so it's okay, however the trust that we built and that I had in you is gone and to be honest I think that's what I'm sorry about' Rachel said as she got up.
'Wait your aunt?' Santana asked.
'Yeah, Sue's my aunt, I actually help her come up with the routines we do that's why I know them so well' Rachel explains. Quinn steps forward to talk once more.
'I know I broke your trust Rachel but I am going to make it up to you and once I am back on the squad you will know you can trust me with your life' Quinn promises and Rachel gives her a small smile before heading out of the door followed by Santana and Brittany.
'Oh and San, Rach?' she calls out, they all turn to her 'congrats you make a great couple' she says with a genuine smile.
'Yeah' Rachel says as she looks to Santana 'we definitely do'
Santana beams at her and takes Rachel's hand into her own and they left to go home, missing Sue hiding round the corner smiling at the
