Brittany knocked on the Berry Resident's front door quickly before immediately shoving her hands back into her pockets. The warm weather had been replaced with the freezing cold over night apparently and she quickly decided that she preferred the blistering heat.
A frozen cloud emitted from Brittany's mouth as she let out a long sigh, tapping her foot impatiently against Rachel's porch. She huffed once again as she rung the door bell, it chimed an unfamiliar tune that buzzed annoyingly in the blonde's ears.
Said ears visibly perked up as she overheard hushed whispers and stomping from the other side of the door. Brittany rocked on the back of her heels when Rachel's familiar voice scolded someone quietly.
Brittany knocked loudly against the door again once it was apparent that no one was answering anytime soon.
"Rachel." She called, cringing when a harsh gale of wind rustled her hair, causing goosebumps to trail down her spine. "Open up, I know you're there."
Brittany brushed blonde locks away from her eyes and mouth before saying, "This isn't funny."
She heard rapid whispering from inside, making her roll her eyes at the occupants inside.
"What's the password?" She heard a boy call from inside, accompanied by Rachel's audible scoff.
"What password?" Brittany asked confusedly.
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0
"Kurt!" Rachel hissed as she swatted the neatly groomed boy on the shoulder. "We don't have a password!"
Kurt rubbed his shoulder gingerly before sneering at the shorter girl.
"Rachel!" He mocked back in the same tone before his face turned serious. "What if this girl has been abducted by some jocks and is being forced to show them our new sanctuary?"
Rachel's spine shoots up like a been stalk at the thought. Would Brittany really betray them?
"Ugh, you two are ridiculous." Mercedes groaned as she pushed her way past the squabbling duo. "I think y'all need to be tested."
Kurt pursed his lips and straightened his barely wrinkled, but very expensive, navy blue blazer. He narrowed his eyes at the larger girl as she made her way to open the door.
"I will have you know that my sanity is completely intact, no thanks to Berry's constant rambling and your hideous leopard print hoodie." Kurt scoffed, pinching the cheap material before rubbing his hand against his dress pants as if the article of clothing was infected. "If we're going to be meeting and spending more time together, I'm afraid you'll have to go shopping for a wardrobe that doesn't look like you went diving in the Target bargain bin."
Mercedes jaw dropped and she rounded on the boy, her eyes lit furiously.
"You best be taken that back, Hummel." She said as she poked him sharply in the shoulder.
"Come on, Rachel. It's cold out here!" Brittany yelled, knocking angrily against the door causing Kurt to jump and clutch his heart.
Rachel rolled her eyes as she swung open the door, revealing a chattering Brittany who was rubbing her bear arms. The blonde shouldered her way through the small crowd gathered near the front entrance.
"A-About t-t-time!" Brittany said as she kicked off her shoes. "Th-that was n-not funny."
"I beg to differ." Kurt snickered as he pointed to Brittany's dishevelled hair. "Forget about me and Berry, your hair needs drastic therapy."
Brittany combed her fingers through her hair angrily.
"Okay, okay," Rachel started as she rested her hand against Brittany's shoulder in case she needed to hold the fuming blonde back. "Why don't we all go down stairs and all get to know each other?"
Mercedes shrugged as she grabbed Kurt's shoulder, much to his protest, and dragged him downstairs. Rachel looped her arm with Brittany and followed the two divas.
"I am so sorry about that. None of us really left the glee club on the best of terms." Rachel grimaced. "But this is the perfect opportunity to catch up with each other."
Brittany smiled nervously. She had to admit, that she was a bit nervous about meeting the infamous glee club.
When the four got downstairs, Kurt aligned his stripped tie and strode over to an oddly dressed boy wearing a similar outfit. The boy wrapped his arm around Kurt's waist, causing the boy to visibly brighten. Mercedes stood around awkwardly until a gothic Asian girl who was sitting on a boy's lap, who Brittany recognized as Artie from gym class, and waved Mercedes over.
"Everyone." Rachel called out. "I think we should all get in a circle and introduce ourselves once again."
Brittany watched as a bunch of grumbling teens moved to make a circle. Brittany sat between Rachel and Mike, who gave her an encouraging smile.
"Well," Rachel beamed and clapped excitedly. "I'll start us off. Firstly; Welcome to our first annual, underground glee club meeting. My name is Rachel Berry and I like singing, dancing, and musical theatre. Since the old club disbanded I have been practising my dancing and vocals. Obviously."
Rachel shouldered the tall boy next to her, causing him to jolt out of his daze.
"Oh- oh yeah!" Finn yelped. "My name is Finn Hudson and I like... I like-"
Rachel smiled encouragingly and whispered something in his ear.
"Oh! I like sports, mainly football, I guess. Sine glee club stopped happening I've been dating my girlfriend and playing football." He grinned as he scratched the back of his neck.
"My name's Sam Evans." The large lipped boy introduced. "I play football too, and I was never in the club long, but I wish I was. It seemed fun."
"My name is Matt." A large boy mumbled.
The group waited expectantly for him to finish, but when he didn't say anything, Rachel laughed awkwardly.
"Next." She barked.
"M-M-M-My n-name is Tina." The gothic Asian stuttered. "I like d-drawing and v-vampire novels, and I haven't b-been doing much since g-glee club." She paused and cast a sideways glance at Artie. "B-But I miss it a lot, and I'm glad we're all b-back together again."
"Yo, dawgs. I'm Artie." The wheel chair bound boy flashed a smile at the group as he waved shyly. "I like tech, filming, and directing. Since the glee club ended I've been working on this new film that I hope to have finished by college."
Brittany caught the boy's eyes and smiled encouragingly, causing him to turn a deep shade of scarlet and duck his head.
"Sup, I'm Puck." He said as he tilted his head in greeting and lounged against the front of the sofa. "I like chicks and I've been doing my own thing since we all left."
"Hey y'all, Mercedes Jones. I am one of the best voices in this," She paused as she examined the group with apparent distaste. "Club. And what have I been doing since you last saw me? None of your damn business."
"I think I'm too talented to be here too." A nasally voice emitted from the girl who was dangling upside down from the small stage near the back of the room. "Ooh! My name is Sugar Motta and I am not a mob daughter!"
Brittany scrunched her eyebrows in confusion as the rest of the group shuffled away from the oblivious girl.
"Hello, lovely people." Kurt announced, actually standing up to address the small group gathered in the basement. "I am Kurt Elizabeth Hummel and I am perfectly happy to say that I have been well since my well-deserved transfer to Dalton Academy, which also happened to be the best decision of my life. I am now on the student-board that directs the Dalton Academy Warblers, one of the best show choirs in the state."
A boy dressed in a similar uniform jumped to his feet besides Kurt and squeezed the taller boy's shoulder.
"Hey guys, some of you might remember me from when I came to visit Kurt last year. I'm Blaine." He introduced with a large smile, that Brittany thought that couldn't fit on his face. "I enjoy singing and anything to do with music. I'm also one of the few students in charge of the Warblers."
"Yeah, what are they doing here?" Artie asked as he raised his hand.
"Kurt overheard me talking to Rachel about it on the phone." Finn mumbled.
"Which is perfectly fine!" Rachel added to stop anyone from being offended. "We're taking all members, of course."
Kurt cast a tight-lipped smile at the group as he brushed his short bangs away from his eyes with a flamboyant wave of his hand.
"You need some talent after all."
Rachel forced a smile at Kurt before addressing the group.
"Okay then, now that we're do-"
"Wait!" Brittany shouted, louder than she intended, and blushed. "You, uhm, you forgot Mike."
"Oh!" Rachel's eyes widened in understanding as he turned to the boy who was sitting cross legged next to Brittany. "I apologize Michael, I completely forgot about you."
Mike chuckled.
"Yeah, I get that a lot." He said humorously. "You all know me, we should just get to the singing."
"Fantastic idea!" Kurt enthused. "I have the perfect opening number to start us off!"
Kurt bounded towards the stage and took the microphone off the stand. He coughed loudly and prodded Sugar with his foot, signalling her to clear the stage.
"Hey, Mike." Brittany whispered to the Asian boy while Kurt practised a few scales. "You're like really quiet. Like... a ninja."
"Well," He lent closer to Brittany and held a finger to his lips. "I do have mad skills in Mortal Combat."
Brittany giggled and swatted Mike's shoulder.
She was about to add something when Kurt started to sing an unfamiliar tune. No one seemed to recognize it either, except for Rachel who was positively fuming. All that Brittany knew was that Kurt was apparently the greatest star, and that he was indeed, very talented.
When he stopped singing, he was greeted with respectful applause.
"Dude..." Brittany looked at the feminine boy in awe. "Did you know that your teeth totally disappear when you sing?"
The question was answered by chuckling from the group and Kurt rolling his eyes. The laughter was interrupted by a barely contained squeal from Rachel.
"You- You-" Rachel's hands were shaking wildly and her face turned a deep red. Brittany was afraid that the smaller girl was about to explode. "You sang Barbra Streisand... MY Barbra Streisand! That was completely inconsiderate of you! You don't see me singing songs by your idols!"
"R-Rachel calm down." Tina said slowly, hoping to defuse the livid girl.
"I will not calm down! Aren't any of you going to stick up for me?" She didn't wait for anyone to answer. "Fine! You know what? I'll be upstairs till someone comes to apologize!"
Rachel turned on her heel and stormed up the stairs, leaving the room very quiet.
"Rachel, wait!" Finn called as he ran up after her.
"It's good to know that some things never change." Mercedes said dryly.
"So... Who wants to sing next?" Kurt said.
Brittany watched as the group's attention was quickly diverted.
A familiar ping drifted into Brittany's ears causing her hand to reflexively go to her phone.
Unknown Number:
Thanks for everything in gym – S
Brittany felt tiny little butter flies inside her stomach. She scowled to herself and immediately squashed the unwelcome feeling.
How did you get this number?
Brittany quietly ducked out of the room and up the stairs while the group was distracted over fighting for the microphone.
"Rachel!" Brittany called out to the empty room and was met with no answer.
"PING!"
You'd be surprised how much Jewfro knows and how easily it is to bribe me ;) -S
"Come on, Rachel. Talk to me, I know you're here somewhere!"
The door bell chimed causing Brittany to sigh frustratedly and stride to the door. In the distance she heard thundering footsteps from behind her.
I don't know if that is impressive or scary.
See you tomorrow -S
Tomorrow's Saturday?
I know -S
Brittany shot the text as she answered the door distractedly.
"Don't get the-" Kurt shouted, but the noise died out quickly when Brittany swung open the door. "Door..."
Quinn stood at the door awkwardly, freezing her butt of in her cheerios uniform, holding a plate covered in tinfoil.
"Uhm... what are you doing here?" Brittany asked as she slipped her phone into her back pocket.
"This is why we should have gotten a password." Kurt huffed, crossing his arm across his chest.
"I came here," Quinn paused and looked at the small group behind the other blonde suspiciously before continuing. "T-to apologize to Rachel. I felt really bad that I didn't apologize sooner for what I did. So I brought some of those 'I am sorry cookies' to her as a formal Fabray apology."
"What are you all doing here?" Quinn asked slowly as she ducked under Brittany's arm and set the platter of cookies on the coffee table. "Berry never had this many friends before."
"We're not her friends." Kurt said nonchalantly as he resumed filing his nails.
"We're a secret glee club." Sugar said as she smacked her gum loudly. "But don't tell anyone, our reps would go down the toilet.
Brittany internally face-palmed.
"Sugar." Artie hissed, signalling for the girl to shut up.
Quinn cocked a perfectly shaped eyebrow at her newly acquired information.
"Oh god, that is honestly the stupidest thing I've heard since Finn told me he saw our lord and saviour on his sandwich."
"Well your boy toy doesn't find it so stupid." Mercedes said as she pointed upstairs.
The group hushed and listened carefully.
Brittany heard the faint sound of Rachel sobbing quietly, along with a more masculine tone hushing her gently.
Brittany held her breath as she watched Quinn stiffen and her eyes glint madly.
Quinn turned on her heel and made a beeline for the stairs. Brittany followed shortly behind her, ready to defend Rachel if Quinn decided to get violent again.
The other blonde stopped abruptly at the top of the stairs, causing Brittany to slam her toe against the step she was currently on and swearing silently.
Quinn turned to Brittany, wearing a smile that made Brittany doubt the short-haired blonde's sanity.
"You know what?" Quinn started as she sat at the top of the stairs, Indian style. "I am tired of Finn acting more like Rachel's boyfriend, when in reality, he's actually mine."
"I am just going to wait here until they come out, and then dump his sorry ass. Humiliating him into Berry never wanting to be with him again."
Brittany blinked confusedly.
"And you think that will work?" Brittany laughed incredulously. "I don't think you're half as scary as you think you are."
Quinn stood up and brushed non-existent dust off her Cheerio's skirt.
"Fine. The I guess I'll have to do it front the entire student body then." Quinn sneered. "And I'll let everyone know about your stupid club to. You'll be ruined, all of you."
Brittany smiled and patted Quinn's shoulder.
"Good luck with that."
