Thanksgiving

Juniper was at her locker switching out her books. Sectionals was this week, and she heard a rumor that Finn invited back all the alumni – including Santana – which meant that she was dreading Glee Club knowing it meant she'd have to see her ex-girlfriend.

Santana still didn't know about Juniper and Brittany dating, and it was no secret to the students in the Glee Club that Junitty was going strong.

When the brunette closed her locker, she saw one of the alumni coming around the corner, smiling when her gaze met Juniper's.

"Quinnie!" the younger girl exclaimed as she ran up to hug the blonde, throwing her arms around her shoulders as the older girl lifted her up slightly.

"It's so good to see you, Juniper."

"How's Yale?" the brunette asked as they pulled out of the hug.

"Classes are hard, but you know how I love a good challenge," said Quinn. "I'm really sorry about you and Santana," she added in a gentle voice.

"It's fine," Juniper mumbled. "I'm just a little frustrated because everytime I forget about her she shows up again. It's too much for me to handle. If it wasn't for Sam I'd probably be halfway through a bottle of vodka right now."

"Don't let this define the rest of your life," Quinn said, brushing a strand of brunette hair out of the younger girl's face. "You're too special. And I know it's hard, but you'll get through it. And if you ever need me, I'm just a phone call away."

"Thanks, Quinn," said Juniper, smiling softly.

"No need to thank me."

Quinn smiled and wrapped an arm around the shorter girl as they headed to the choir room. When they got there, the first person Juniper laid eyes on was Santana.

"Don't let this ruin your day, Juni," whispered Quinn before going over to join the other alumni by the piano.

Juniper crossed the room – avoiding Santana's gaze – and sat down next to Brittany. A few moments later, Finn came in.

"Do you realize that standing in front of you are legends?" he asked. "Any single one of these guys could be president of the United States one day."

"I don't know about that," said Artie.

"And, lucky for us, they've agreed to help us-"

"Hang with the new chumps," interrupted Puck. "And see if some of our sheer awesomeness doesn't rub off on you."

"When you hear your name, pair up," said Finn. "Puck, you're with your brother. Mike, you're with Ryder. Marley, you're with Santana. Kitty, you're with Quinn."

Kitty excitedly got up and hugged Quinn. Juniper rolled her eyes.

"Stupid wannabe," the brunette muttered underneath her breath.

"Wade, you're with Mercedes," finished Finn.

"I knew it, Mercedes was cloned," Brittany said, turning to Juniper who laughed.

"Your mentors are here to help you with whatever you need. Singing, dancing-"

"Birth control," said Quinn and Kitty laughed.

"You're so funny and self-depreciating," said the younger blonde. "We're so much alike."

"Wanky," smirked Santana.

"The worst mistake we can make is to underestimate our competition," said Finn. "The Warblers are ruthless this year. Juni and Blaine will handle our duet."

"Wait, what?" asked Juniper.

"And for our showstopper, we're doing Gangnam Style."
