Oh my god, here it is: the last "official" chapter of this fic. No worries, there will still be an epilogue, but this is the end of the main story. Are you ready for the most important game in Brittany's high school career?

I am not.

And neither is Brittany.

When Brittany walks on the field, the people watching the game start to applaud. It's as if she's already won the game. She tries not to blush, but the attention is overwhelming. She scans the crowd real quick, and she notices that not all of these people are McKinley students. Sure, she sees the glee kids and she recognises a lot more people, but some are unfamiliar. They aren't Carmel students either, since they sit on the stands on the other side.

Great.

Groupies have come to see the game. Just the thing she needs.

Santana leads the other Cheerios during their cheer routine, and Brittany knows Santana is cheering for her today. They both know how much this game means to Brittany and her family.

Coach Beiste calls the team one last time.

"Alright guys and girl, it's time for probably one of the biggest games in your career," she says, and the players nod, "The Camels are as ruthless as Vocal Adrenaline, so we need to be ready. Don't be fooled by their appearances. They are as tough as coach Sylvester's protein shakes, and we all know she tend to put rocks in there."

More nods and shouts of encouragement from players.

"LET'S DO IT!" coach Beiste yells, and the Titans roar. At that point, the audience follows.

Brittany motions to the other glee club members on the team.

"Glee club huddle with your quarterback," she says.

"Why?" Finn asks.

"Because I can," Brittany answers, "and because I love you guys."

"Aw man," Sam fist bumps Mike.

"And I just want you to know that, whatever happens, it's been an absolute pleasure to be your quarterback, and I love being your teammate. Here on the Titans and on the New Directions." The others are clearly touched, but they don't know about the unspoken deal with Brittany's parents.

"Showcircle, yo!" Artie suggests.

The others happily agree. "We are the Titans and the New Directions!" Brittany yells, "One… two… three…AMAZING!"

"AMAZING!" the others yell as well.

They all do the showcircle, and other Titans are a bit confused, but the glee club members don't care. It's time to win this game.

"BRITTANY!"

"Brittany!"

"Pierce, look out!"

The next thing she knows, Brittany's lying on the ground. One of the Camels walks away, looking satisfied. Sure, he might have some consequences, but he knows that it might be worth it. He made sure the best Titan was no longer in perfect condition.

Or at least, that's what that idiot Camel thinks.

Brittany pushes off everyone, including Santana. Brittany had no idea Santana had run to her, so she quickly apologizes. Sure, she's hurt, but she will not let the Camels win. Carmel has already beaten her school at Nationals, so it sure as hell isn't going to beat McKinley again.

"Let's kick some ass."

The others Titans back away when they see the determination in Brittany's eyes. In less than half a minute, she tells everyone what to do and where to go.

Santana helps her up before she goes back to the other cheerleaders. "You can do this," she says and she squeezes Brittany's hand. Brittany nods, still extremely determined.

Let's do this.

Brittany is being dragged around the school grounds. Everyone is praising her. The other varsity teams and the glee club are celebrating with the Titans. The Titans don't even mind the New Directions singing in celebration.

They pass the Camels and its supporters and they try to suppress the urge not to boo, since they want to be a model school, but it's hard. Even Jesse, former Carmel student, is side-eyeing them.

They parade around the school for a little bit more before returning to the field. There, Titans talk to their friends and family, including Brittany.

"Brittany!" Brianna says, "That was amazing."

Brittany and Santana turn around to meet Brittany's family. Pierce completely ignores Santana, but she understands. He's extremely proud of his daughter. To their distress, Whitney has a camera and she keeps making photos of Brittany.

"We need to document this, Brit-Brit," she insists.

Brittany leans in to hug her father, who is still smiling.

Brianna keeps on rattling, but no one has the heart to make her stop. Santana smiles as she watches the family. For the first time they seem like a happy one, and Brianna looks like a sweet girl.

"OH MY GOD!" they all hear. Amizio is talking to a fancy looking man who hands him a business card. "Yo man, I won't let you down." They shake hands and Brittany's never seen Amizio this happy.

"What just happened?" Brianna asks, but her parents are extremely happy.

"I knew they'd be here," Whitney says proudly.

"Who?" Santana asks.

Brittany knows the answer.

"Hidden football scouts," Brittany answers, not as enthusiastic as her parents. She knows what this means. Santana immediately moves closer to her girlfriend and takes her hand. She doesn't care about the opinion of Brittany's family. Her girlfriend needs her.

When the man who was talking to Amizio makes his way to Brittany, everyone holds their breaths. Whitney, Pierce, and Brianna out of excitement and Brittany and Santana out of fear.

Brittany barely hears him when he talks to her. She doesn't really react when he also hands her a business card. She only nods when he leaves her alone.

Her mother screams from excitement. "BRITTANY, THIS IS AMAZING!"

Pierce is equally proud, and for the first time in a while, Brittany is happy with her parents' reaction. She's won the game. She did it.

At least, that's what Brittany thinks.

"I am so happy that your last game with the Titans is the best one!" Pierce says happily. Brittany, Santana, and Brianna stop celebrating when they hear him.

"Last one?" Brittany asks. Pierce tries to hug his daughter again, but Brittany pushes him off her.

Whitney sighs. "Sweetheart, sit down," she tells her daughter, "We need to tell you something."

"Mom…" Brianna says sternly, but Whitney doesn't look at her.

"It's too complicated to move between Lima and Columbus the entire time," she starts to explain, "So your father and I decided it's best to move the entire family to Columbus. I want to be close to Brianna."

"Mom," Brianna interjects, "I heard you telling dad that if Brittany wins the game, you'll say. Brittany won the game!"

Pierce shakes his head. "We did say that, but we came up with a new plan."

"But I don't want to go!" Brittany protests.

"Brittany, don't ruin your day of celebration by being stupid," Whitney says sternly and she takes Brittany's hand, "Aren't you happy to have the whole family together? Not everything is about you. I want you to be happy!"

And something snaps in Brittany. When Santana and Brianna see the anger on her face, they awkwardly shuffle aside. Brittany stares at her mother in disbelief. After everything that has happened, they still won't let her be herself.

Then why should she please them? Brittany realises she might never live up to her parents' expectations, no matter how hard she tries. She will never be like Brianna.

That is because she isn't Brianna. She is Brittany, for God's sake. But to her parents, she is nothing more than not Brianna. And Brittany knows they love her, just like she loves them, but apparently they don't love her enough to support her.

And for the first time in forever, Brittany is angry about that.

"Then let me be happy," Brittany says harshly.

Brianna doesn't say anything, but she nods towards Brittany. Their parents don't notice, since for the first time, their attention is on Brittany.

Brittany pulls away. "I'd rather stay with a family that actually supports me and listens to me, instead of staying by a family that only love the idea of me," she says coldly. She hasn't felt this mad in a long while.

She gets up and holds out the business card. She makes sure there's constant eye contact between her and her mother as she walks towards the nearest trash can.

"Brit-Brit, what are you doing?" Pierce says, sounding nervous.

With a grin on her face, Brittany lets the business card fall in the trash can. Her mother gasps and her father looks like he's about to have a stroke, but Brittany keeps grinning. She takes Santana's arm and together, they make their way to the choir room. The others are waiting there.

"Brittany!" they hear Whitney yell, but Brittany doesn't look back. Instead, she kisses Santana's hand as they continue walking.

"Are you sure about this?" Santana asks, but Brittany is extremely satisfied.

She nods happily. "Yes, it's time for me to stay happy, and I am happy with you. You're my best girlfriend."

"You're my best girlfriend as well, Britt," Santana says.

They're going to be happy, they're sure of it.

To playitcool: Hell yeah, let Artie be supportive. I think that he's smart enough to see that Brittany and Santana are not easy to break up. Also, the girls already had a lot on their plate (losing Nationals, Brittany's big game), and I did not want to be like glee and turn every romantic plot into a love triangle/hexagon/nonagon/etc.
