A/N: Hello everyone and welcome back to the final chapter of HAI, it's been a good run, but I can't run this story forever. I want to thank all my loyal reviewers, and all the readers. I really appreciate all of you, and I hope you read more of my future stories.
I don't own Glee or the characters, just Storme, her family and the plot. Please enjoy
Storme and Rachel walked into the choir room and everyone noticed their completely opposite facial expressions. Rachel had total confidence and Storme looked extremely nervous. So much so that Rachel was holding her hand. But Santana thought nothing of it now, since Rachel was now hers.
"Rach, you're like the last one here, what happened, you usually beat everyone here" Santana said.
"Oh well, I had to encourage someone, because we have a story to tell you all" Rachel said clearing her throat before going to pull up one of the many chairs in the room.
"It might take some time, so I hope you brought popcorn" Storme joked. Everyone else exchanged looks of confusion, however Brittany seemed excited.
"Yay story time" she cheered before the two began to talk.
Rachel was currently pacing in her room, while Storme was lounging on her bed humming and Aly &Aj song. It was almost the end of summer and Storme had come up with a crazy plan to get Rachel and Santana, long time crush, together. Rachel had told her the good things she saw in Santana and she failed to mention all the previous torture she had endeavored, due to the fear for Santana's well being.
"Storme, I don't know what to do, she's a cheerio and I'm a Glee loser" Rachel sighed,
"Rae listen, it's a simple plan, I come to school playing the long time best friend, who just moved back, and you and I have this "reunion time" Santana sees that we have stuff in common and feels threatened by me, so she tries to get rid of me, but in reality, I'm just a small obstacle that can easily be pushed away if she asked you out, that bada bing bada boom mission accomplished, besides, Aunt Tiana and Aunt Destiny already agreed to go with it, and so did Uncle Leroy and Uncle Hiram, we just have to convince a few teachers to help us and we'll be set, just think of it as a play" Storme grinned assuringly. She knew this plan could work, but getting the small brunette to think so as well may be a challenge.
"I think Mr. Shue would help" Rachel said thoughtfully, her music teacher was an understanding man.
"Is he the Spanish teacher you told me about before" Storme asked as she rolled onto her stomach to look at Rachel fully.
"The one and the same, I'm sure you'll like him when you come to McKinley in a few months" Rachel smiled.
"Maybe, oh and thanks again for letting me come visit you before I move back, it's been so long since I've seen home, I'm surprised how much has actually changed since I left" Storme smiled before glancing out Rachel's open window.
"Anything for you Storm" Rachel grinned.
"I know, so a few questions before we actually start" Rachel asked as she diminished her pacing and turned towards the latter.
"Go ahead" Storme encouraged already prepared for the anticipated list of questions.
"What happens if I blow our cover" Rachel said.
"Rachel you're a great actress, have faith in yourself" Storme said breezily.
"What if you blow our cover" she shot back.
"Rachel, how long have you known me" Storme asked with a raised brow.
"My entire life" Rachel answered truthfully.
"Exactly, that's answer enough, now please continue" Storme said again.
"Very well, what if this plan doesn't work" Rachel asked.
"We regroup and try again" Storme shrugged.
"So what if we succeed and we explain everything, what if Santana hates me for lying to her" Rachel pouted.
"I won't say what Storme said after that particular question, seeing as it insulted Santana's intelligence level amoung other rude topics, but eventually I was eased into being comfortable with the plan" Rachel laughed.
"Okay so this whole Storme "going Rachel thing was a façade from the get go" Mike asked in slight confusion.
"Afraid so my dancing amigo" Kurt cut in, making everyone else, other than Brittany and the story tellers, look at him in surprise.
"You knew about this" Puck asked bewildered.
"Well I only knew of Brittany's plan to help Rachel win Santana over, but I didn't realize Storme's whole transfer was planned also" Kurt said impressed. Quickly, everyone's gaze shifted to Brittany, who just looked around and smiled innocently.
"You made a plan to get Rachel and Santana together" Quinn asked.
"Uh huh, but I do know something that their not telling us" Brittany smirked. This made Rachel and Storme blink in surprise.
"What are you talking about Britt" Santana asked.
"Storme and Rachel, their family" Brittany said like it was the obvious thing in the world. The room got quiet and jaws hit the floor. But no one seemed more surprised the two girls who stood front and center.
"Brittany, how you know that, they look nothing alike" Finn interjected, causing Storme to glare at him.
"Excuse you, but we are related, she's my younger half sister" Storme defended.
"Wait so you are related" Santana asked clearly shocked. Rachel nodded,
"That is correct, Storme is my older sibling, however due to starting school late, she and I are in the same grade, but what I want to know is, Brittany how did you know that" the tiny brunette asked clearly impressed and intrigued.
"My turn for a story" Brittany exclaimed before jumping from her seat and pushing the two sisters to sit on two chairs on the bottom row. When she was sure they were situated, Brittany cleared her throat and began to talk.
"You remember when we to help Storme unpack the moving truck right" Brittany asked. And those who had attended this said event nodded in agreement.
"And you remember when we were eating dinner" Brittany asked again. And again everyone nodded.
"Well while we were eating I noticed that there were a bunch of pictures hanging on the wall, and each one was of the Berry family reunion and Storme was in each and every one of them" Brittany said. From their seats Storme leaned over and whispered,
"I told you we should've hid those" and Rachel nodded in agreement. After ending her, very short story, Brittany hopped towards the duo and pushed them back to the front of the room and going to sit down.
"Okay so if your Rachel's older sister, why is your last name different from hers" Lauren asked.
"It's not" Storme said shaking her head slightly.
"Indeed, our Aunt Destiny if my father Leroy's younger sister" Rachel explained.
"Yup, so 'Uncle Hiram'" Storme said putting quotes around the man's name,
"Is our biological father" Storme grinned proudly gesturing between the two of them. Once more there was a quiet room. And Storme took this as a sign to talk some more.
"So basically, hello my name Storme Berry-De Luca, it's nice to meet you all" Storme grinned. Absolute silence,
"Sis, I think we broke them" Storme guffawed as she elbowed the younger girl lightly on the shoulder. Finally Finn spoke out,
"Okay, well since you had this all planned out, did you plan for Brittany to have a 'crush' on you" Finn asked challenge, heavy in his tone. Storme blushed lightly at this and froze on the spot. She really hadn't planned for Brittany's obvious affection, but then again she didn't plan on falling for her either. But hey, its life what can you do? However, Storme hadn't worked up the nerve to ask the beautiful blonde dancer out yet.
"Finn that was terribly rude" Rachel ostracized, but all he did was shrug, which made Santana and Brittany glare at him.
"Rachel it's okay, but since we've come clean, I say we start anew, Nationals is coming up and I'd love for us to win this year" Storme smiled. She hoped that a topic changer would get everyone talking again. And it seemed to work, soon everyone, after a few minutes of adjusting to the ground breaking news, Storme called Santana out of the classroom to talk privately.
Out in the hallway Santana felt an air of comfort from new friend as they walked down the hallways. But when they stopped, Storme turned to her and gave her a hard look.
"I want you to listen and listen well, I know were friends, but I'm an older sister first" Storme stated. Santana sighed; she didn't realize she was going to get the older sibling threat.
"Look yeah I get it, and if I ever hurt her, you'll kick my butt" Santana said. But Storme shook her head, her glare getting harsher.
"Listen, I know about you and your little cheerios and jocks bullying my little sister over the years" Storme said as she began to circle the Latina, who was now stuck in place, seeing she was under, what seemed to be vengeful eyes.
"And before you say anything, I know she warned you and the rest of our club about not telling what went down before I came, but I already knew, and no, she didn't tell me, I have eyes in this school that she didn't even know about" Storme said as she continued to circle the girl. Santana wanted to speak, to defend herself, but she couldn't.
"So despite it all, I have the means to get revenge on you, if I wanted, but after Rachel told me that you had apologized for begin so cruel, I finally let it go, even though it took a few years" Storme shrugged as she finally came to a stop. She was square in front of the Latina. The glare was now gone, and her loving smile had returned.
"But remember, one slip up, and you won't have a prayer" Storme said sweetly. Finally Santana spoke up,
"Hey, the same goes about Brittany, I know about your crush on her, and let me tell you something, she's the closest thing I've ever had to a sister, and nobody gets to hurt her feelings, so if you do grow a pair and ask her out, and you slip up, trust me when I say, I will go fifty shades of Lima Heights on you" Santana threatened back.
"I believe you, and this is why, though I'm still going to watch her, I'm trusting you with my sister's safety, believe me it's a big deal" Storme smiled before sticking out her hand, like she did all those months ago. Only this time, Santana took it and shook it earnestly.
"Good so we have an understanding, lets head back, I don't want Star thinking I killed you" Storme grinned before pushing the girl lightly in the shoulder.
"Whatever, I could totally take you" Santana said pushing the girl back.
"Keep dreaming Lopez, I have three years of kick boxing under my belt" Storme said back before lightly pushing the Latina back and running ahead of her laughing. Santana quickly caught up and they raced the rest of the way.
It was the end of Glee and everyone was talking up a storm about the possible song setlist they could create, depending on this year's theme.
"I know we're excited but it's time to go home, I want you all to get plenty of rest" Mr. Shue said to them like a father would to his child. Everyone filed out towards their vehicles and waiting rides. Santana had offered to take Rachel home today seeing as Cheerio practice was starting a bit later today. Santana waited patiently for the smaller girl as she talked to her half sibling who hugged her. And as she watched, Santana still couldn't believe how Storme and Rachel had set up a plan to get the two of htem together. She was very impressed, and thought of many situations and parties she could throw with their intelligence and excellent secrecy.
"Come on tiny" Santana called. But before she could get a response, out of nowhere Brittany came out of nowhere and pulled the slightly shorter blonde girl into a surprising kiss. Rachel was left speechless, and even though Santana couldn't hear what was being said, she was pretty sure Brittany had just asked the girl out. And Storme was about to accept. Yup this was going to be an interesting year. However, Santana may have helped Storme out a bit by telling Brittany that Storme wanted her to kiss the latter. But she didn't need to know that yet, she'd wait for a moment when she could use it to her advantage. Now that's an Idea.
TADA all finished. And just in time, I have to leave to catch a plane and I wont be back in a whole month! But that's okay, when I get back, I'll probably have a story waiting to be written. So again, thank you all for your reviews and the constant following. It means a lot! See you guys later!
