"How are you holding up?" Charlotte asks handing her younger sister a mug of coffee and sitting across from her in the dining room of their new home. 

"Everything is perfect." Madeleine hisses rolling her eyes. 

Charlotte looks at her softly and takes her hand, she hadn't seen her sister often after her Dallas issues since she was busy at college. 

"How is school?" Madeleine asks avoiding her sister's questions and looks. 

"Okay... the cheerleading is intense- but I can thank Sue for preparing me I guess. Coursework is boring, not really into it." The girl answers sadly. 

"Charl... what happened to your New York dreams? Before I left you were certain you would move away to be an actor- or a model." Madeleine questions. 

"I grew up Mads, the industry is hard out there- I can't risk not making it." Charlotte explains. 

"Lottie! You could totally be a model- I mean you are the prettiest sister and you probably were the prettiest girl in school. It bugged me so much but now I've matured, you could one hundred percent get a contract with any modelling industry!" Maddie rants. 

"I'll think about it. What about you huh?" Charlotte replies after a long sip of her coffee. 

Madeleine looks at her closely, her sister was always difficult in High School. Always making sure the twins lived up to her Parker name which she worked so hard to achieve. This always bothered Madeleine, she just wanted to be her own person with her own life- specifically back then she really didn't want be to associated with her family name. Nowadays, the situation has changed. Charlotte matured greatly after having the pressure of looking after her siblings when her father was jailed and her mother was comatose. This meant Charlotte was able to drop her perfect act, she was allowing her sister to live her life in anyway that made her happy. Because of this, Madeleine didn't feel ashamed or anxious to share her true dreams with her sister. 

"I want to apply for Juilliard, Charl. I want to dance- you know... after everything that happened. It was like dance, singing or just Glee in general was one of the only things to truly take my mind off it all. I know you are so against the Glee Club but frankly I don't care-" Madeleine rants. 

"Woah! Listen. Back then, yes. I thought everyone in Glee were complete losers- but the way I see you guys perform and interact... It makes me regret not just getting my head out of my ass and joining." Charlotte admits. 

"Wow. After all this time... you were jealous of Tom and I?" Madeleine says, a smirk forming across her freckled face. 

"Drop it. Back to Juilliard, you really wanna apply? Will you move to New York?" Charlotte asks. 

"That's if I get in. But I was hoping someone would join me... specifically someone with a modelling contract." Madeleine says cocking an eyebrow. 

"We'll see." Charlotte says simply.

"Good luck!" Madeleine waves to Thomas as the twins walk into school. 

Madeleine smiles when she feels a familiar hand slither into her own. 

"Good luck with what?" Santana asks taking the girls books off her hands. 

"Cooter, he's here for the boys football. I've never seen Thomas so worked up." Madeleine explains as she opens her locker. 

Santana looks left and right in the corridor to make sure it is deserted before she wraps her arms around the girls waist from behind, Madeleine sighs into her arms.
