~1981~

It was a lovely September morning and the first day of school for thousands of little children throughout the country. In Lima, Ohio one child was not so happy about it being his first day of school and was currently trying his hardest to keep hold of his father while making a scene and not five steps away from him a tiny blonde girl tugged to get free of her parents, her excitement more than evident. A sharp tug from her father and she went tumbling into his chest her laughter ringing through the air, she wrapped her arms around her father as best she could before placing a quick kiss to his cheek, repeating the same for her mother.

It was probably fate that brought the two together, in the same class, on the same table, in seats next to each other. The boy was quiet and the girl never stopped talking, but when they finished their first day of school that afternoon both were best friends.

~1994~

Will Schuester loved his life; he was dating the most popular girl in school, had just graduated, got a place in one of the top collage’s and together with his best friend since Kindergarten, Brittany had taken their high school glee club to glory by winning Nationals. So tonight he was going to party, and he was going to party hard, Brittany seemed to have the same idea and when he met her at the party she was already slightly unsteady on her feet. By the time Will was starting to feel tipsy Brittany had moved on to doing body shots of Rachel Berry, who was looking alarmingly turned on when Brittany’s tongue trailed her stomach, unsurprisingly Rachel spent the rest of the night firmly attached to her boyfriend and star quarterback Finn Hudson.

Terry happened along later that night, completely wasted and hell bent on trying to get him into bed and even though he loved her, tonight was supposed to be about getting wasted and Brittany. His best friend, who jumped on his back moments later laughing manically before throwing up on Terry’s lap. Terry looked ill when Brittany danced off without so much as an apology and straight into the arms of some unknown girl who was promptly dragged into a corner for an impromptu drunken make out session. Will watched it all with mild amusement because this was never going to happen again, they were never going to be in a room with this same group of people ever again, nothing was going to be the same, except for Brittany.

At the end of the night Will could barely stand up let alone carry a passed out Brittany, so the task of getting the two of them home fell to Finn and Mike, their fellow glee members and friends. Unfortunately Finn was the only sober one and could do nothing but help support Will as Brittany and Mike sang and danced their way down the street and away from the house. It was Will’s mum and Dad that came to the rescue, extracting Mike and Brittany from the hedge down the street before lifting the two of them inside, Will on the couch and Brittany in Will’s bed leaving Finn to deal with a much more manageable Mike.

When Brittany and Will woke up the next morning neither could remember what happened but both had a strange sense of dread. Will was the first into the kitchen where his Dad and Stepmother sat quietly, cups of coffee half finished on the table and the smell of cooking sausages made him all kinds of queasy. Brittany emerged half an hour later, looking even worse than Will and attached by the hand to Will’s half sister Quinn who looked entirely too happy. Still it was to be expected, because his two year old sister loved Brittany even more than she loved him, and she practically worshiped Will. Breakfast was awkward to say the least, because both Brittany and Will knew that something had happened last night even if they couldn’t remember what and his father seemed to be punishing them by not telling them. Quinn was the only one who seemed oblivious to it as she sat on Brittany’s lap saying a bunch of random words that she had just managed to learn.

The rest of the day was spent collapsed in Will’s room with the door blocked, the curtains closed and a number of buckets scattered around the room. They were laid in a comfortable silence when Brittany shot off the bed and towards the nearest bucket, followed by a fit of laughter from both of them. When the two of them regained consciousness it was the next day and though they both felt much better the putrid smell of the room had them both dashing for fresh air. Thankfully they were home alone, with plenty of time to restore his room to normal.

When his parents returned the two were sat soaking up some sunshine and talking quietly to themselves about the future, because they were fast running out of time. In two day’s Brittany would be leaving for the military, because somebody had caught her without Will and put it into her head that it would be fun. No amount of convincing from Will could change her mind, because she had made a promise and she always kept her promises. It was precisely that fact that prompted Will to make her promise that she’d be there if he ever married Terry, she laughed and agreed on the condition she could be best man. He wouldn’t have it any other way.

~1996~

It was a strange feeling coming back home after nearly a year of freedom and four boys crammed into a tiny little room, but the anticipation of spending an entire month with Brittany. It was strange how different their lives had become; Brittany had taken to military life and was now involved in a recently rolled out military project known as the judges. An elite police force dedicated to protecting the country and Brittany happened to be the best of them, unsurprising given Brittany’s natural grace and athletic ability. Will for his part is loving college learning Spanish is like second nature for him, and if he never gets to Broadway then he’s going to live in Spain, it’s sort of his new dream.

~1997~

It’s in the middle of exams when Will’s life starts to fall apart, because some scientist has leaked details of the judge programme and it turns out that their abilities are the result of some sci-fi rubbish. Brittany rings him one night and she’d in tears, can barely make her words out. He doesn’t waste a moment and drives across three states to find Brittany on the floor of her temporary apartment a piece of paper in her hand. As he reads it his heart stops, because Brittany’s one of the enhanced judges and recent legislation has marked her as dangerous, even if she’s the least dangerous person he knows. He demands to know what it means, but Brittany can’t tell him for crying.

Her cries have subsided into sobs when the door flies off its hinges and six heavily armoured men enter, guns trained on the two of them. “Judge Pierce, you are to report to the cryo facility with immediate effect. We will use force if necessary.” Will can’t quite work out what’s going on when he’s forcibly removed from Brittany and she’s carried off through the door the word termination ringing in his ears. He spends the next day crying on the floor shouting for her to come back because she promised.

Its three weeks later when he finds out what happened to her, because he’s spent all of it locked in his old room where promises were made and good times were had. It’s his dad that brings him the news with a sympathetic shoulder and a few tears of his own. Fifty judges, all frozen using the latest cryogenics and another ten killed while trying to escape. There’s a sad sort of mood in the house, and when Quinn finds out she takes it just as hard, it takes a talk from Will and the introduction of a group of pictures of Brittany into the house that things start getting back to normal.

~2010~

The old banger was the bane of his life, it rarely worked and he had to tape the doors together but there was a special place in his heart for it, even the constant jibes from Quinn and her best friend Santana or the vicious coach of the cheerleaders could convince him to part with it. Parking in his usual spot he climbed out, not bothering to lock the door because a, the locks didn’t work and b, nobody would want to go through the trouble of trying to steal it anyway. His walk through the car park was greeted with jeers and wolf whistles, because really he wasn’t a bad looking guy but his car was a banger and despite teaching Spanish he helmed the highly unpopular glee club. Which despite including the head cheerleader, Quinn and a reluctant Santana was still highly and irreversibly unpopular, quite a change since the days of the Schuester-Pierce-Hudson-Berry-Chang reign.

Brittany was the one thing he was never able to forget and the reason his life was not how he wanted it to be. He was supposed to be living in Spain, or singing his heart out on Broadway, not teaching a bunch of bored kids a language that there only interested in knowing the swear words, not teaching a glee club when he hasn’t sung since Brittany disappeared. He doesn’t hate his life, but he doesn’t like it either.

He’s pleased to see Quinn flourish though, but he’s noticing remarkable similarities to Brittany. There both blonde and now Quinn’s head cheerleader and glee club member and worryingly she’s even talked about joining the army when she’s finished school. Her friendship with Santana is also remarkably similar to his and Brittany’s, sometimes he wonders if she still remembers Brittany on some level enough for her hero worship to subtly influence her decisions. It’s scary really.

It’s almost Christmas and when he see’s Santa sat in the toy department he lines up with the other children, much to the embarrassment of Quinn and Santana, who are already embarrassed enough because there shopping with a teacher. When it’s his turn he sits down on Santa’s lap and asks for his best friend back, when he stands back up he’s positive Quinn’s crying, and there’s a strange look on Santana’s face that makes him think she knows the whole story.
