Quinn knew that had truly pissed off her coach, Sue Sylvester; she knew this for a fact because Sue hadn't said a word to her all week, it's the quiet before the storm. This never happens; Sue Sylvester is a semi-psychotic maniac who torments people for her own enjoyment. So when Sue hadn't said one word to Quinn, not even a request for her to slap herself with a chicken cutlet, Quinn was ready for the apocalypse.

Quinn was about to walk into Spanish when she sees Becky. Becky has her Cheerios' uniform on and had her clipboard. Quinn takes notice and knows what is coming. Becky hands her a note and runs off. Quinn doesn't even bother to open note she knew it was an official summons to Sue's office. She turned on her heel and walked slowly to Sue's office.


Quinn walked into Sue's office, Sue was working on some paperwork. After a few seconds Sue glanced up, "Hello Quinn, sit down." Quinn hesitates for a moment and then sits. Just before Quinn can ask Sue why she is in her office, Sue stops her. "Quinn I am fully aware of the fact that you think I am about to bring the wrath of hell onto you but in reality I'm not going to, however you should know that I do have that ability and you should be both in awe and fear of that." Quinn nods her head slowly, it is the only thing she can do, besides breathe. Sue is stares at her and then continues, "You're not here for me to murderer your, or even ruin you entire life, because of the lack of effort you have been giving this team. You are here because its time you and I be honest with each other." A couple of things run through Quinn's mind before she responds to coach Sue Sylvester: 1) Sylvester has to be bi-polar nothing else could explain the sudden change in conversation from a threat to a some-what compassionate statement, 2) How did Sue know her secret?

Sue got up from her chair and began to pace around the room, it reminded Quinn of a cartoon super-villain pacing around his lair. "Quinn it has been clear to since day one that you have had a secret, and I respected your privacy. When I gave you the position of head cheerleader I knew I was in for a roller coaster of drama, kinda like the soap All My Children. An example of all the drama that I have dealt with, is your pregnancy last year." Quinn stares at her I shock for the moment, but before she could protest Sue cut her off.

"I saw how hard you worked to get back on this team, so I rewarded you, and gave you back your position, but here's the catch if you want to keep it you have to spill the beans."

Quinn abruptly stand up from her chair, she is angrier than ever, even Sue would admit that eyes look like they were possessed. "Is that a threat Sue!"

"No it's an ultimatum." Sue remains calm, and she is still pacing around her office.

"What's the difference?" Quinn shouts at the top of her lungs. She knows no one will hear her though, Sue had her office sound-proofed at the beginning of the year.

"You should know this Quinn, but since I'm in the giving mood I'll tell you. It means that you will tell me the truth if you truly want to be apart of this team." It is quite possible that Sue found the intersection between insanity and logic. Quinn tears began to well-up she had to tell, not just Sue everyone. Tears began cascading Quinn cheeks, and for moment Sue gives a sympathetic look.

"I'm-" Quinn takes a deep breathe, "I'm gay." She felt relief wash over her she glanced up at Sue. Sue has this one-sided smirk on her face, it almost made Quinn chuckle a bit.

"Well blondie I let you in on my secret, I know and as much as you think I torment you about this I won't. I have been protecting you since day one" Quinn stares in disbelief. "If you don't believe me go ask Santana, she is just as much as your protection as you are of hers." Quinn's eyes widen; on the first day of being a cheerio coach pulled her aside and explained to her that being on top meant staying on top, which in turn meant protecting you own. Since Quinn had grown up with Santana and Brittany, she was more the well aware other the reality of their "friendship", heck she pretty much saw them feel each other up everyday.

"Wait, so you're telling me that you have this system of protecting the entire team from any form of ridicule?" Sue finally sits down in her chair and leans back in it. "You bet it blondie. To be champions you have to eliminate all weakness, unfortunately I have to admit that this plan only minimizes possible weaknesses." Quinn stares at Sue, for the first time she is actually in awe of her. Sue had managed to have a heart, she wasn't just a semi-psychotic bi-polar maniac, whose main goal in life was to win, at all costs.

"So what do I do now?" Quinn asks.

"Simple. You break up with that Sam kid, you do know he is gay, right?" Quinn nods, his hair gave it away. "Then once you are ready, you find yourself a girlfriend, and eventually come out. But first you have to leave my office, and get your ass to class" Quinn nods, then quickly walks to her next class. Sue returns to her paperwork, she knew Quinn would be a great head cheerleader, but Quinn had surpassed her expectations.


After school Quinn found her red suv in the parking lot, she threw her stuff in the trunk. As she turned the key in the ignition, she saw

Rachel Berry drive away in her yellow Volkswagen Beetle, Quinn thought the car was very fitting, it was cute like her. Yes, Quinn Fabray had the hots for Rachel Berry.

She tormented Berry because she didn't want anyone to think that she was gay. Yes her tactics were similar to Karkoskfy, but for the record he did apologize to Kurt and he did come out. So she made up horrid names for Berry like RuPaul, Treasure Trail, and Man-Hands; out of all of those she favored Man-Hands because she thought it was the least mean out of all of them.

She heard a knock on the window next to her, which brought her out of her daze, it was Santana. Quinn rolled down her window. "What do you want Santana?" Quinn asked this in a silently annoyed fashion. With no sense of aggression Santana said "We need to talk now, coach told me about your meeting with her." Quinn nodded, "Get in Santana." Santana smiled and got in, "So where are we going?" Quinn was looking dead ahead when said "My house."


When they arrived at Quinn's house, both of them were dead silent; this was extremely unusual for both of them. Although they appeared to only deal with each other, they were actually best friends. They walked into the house, Quinn mom wasn't home and wouldn't be for a while, some kind of church function. This would make it possible for her and Santana to talk freely without being over heard. Even though her mom let her come home, there was still some tension between Quinn and her Mom. Santana plopped on the couch, "So when do you know?"

Quinn knew that this was coming, "I've known since middle school." Santana nodded in agreement. Quinn was taken aback by this comment, " Yeah Quinn I have known since middle school" Santana said in all knowing manner. Quinn jaw dropped, "what gave it away?" Quinn asked hoping that her sexual orientation wasn't too obvious.

Santana burst out loud laughing, once she caught her breathe she said "How could I not know, you have been staring at Berry with infatuation since then. Besides that's when my gay-dar kicked in." This reveal of information was enough for Quinn to collapse and to start sobbing uncontrollably. Santana rub her back to calm her down, telling everything was alright, and her staring at Rachel was not blatantly obvious, it was just obvious enough for every who was gay to notice.

Once Quinn had stopped crying Santana told Quinn her about when she came out to her family. "It was the first day of day of school of high school. You know how my mom is big on family dinners?" Quinn nodded. "Well, she's huge on family breakfast on the first day back to school. So me, my mom, my dad, and my brothers Carlos and Alex were sitting around the table. I was so nervous about the first day of school that I announced that I was gay, when all I meant to do was ask for the maple syrup for my pancakes." Santana was smiling proudly as she remembered the incident.

"Really?" Quinn couldn't believe what she was hearing, Santana always seemed she was in control of herself, especially when she was acting like a total bitch. "How did they react?"

"Well after a few seconds of total awkwardness had passed, my told me 'I'm very proud of you mija, but this isn't news to us' I asked how the all knew. They told me that they just knew, and that it was clear that I was head over heels for Brittany. After I got home from school Carlos said that it didn't mattered who I loved as long as they were a good person and that I was still his badass sister he knew and loved. Te only on who had a bit of a hard time with it was Alex. He avoided me for about two months until I confronted him; when I did, I asked him what the fuck was going on he told me 'that if I was all out and proud' like I wanted to be, 'then he will be bullied' ; he then told that he still loved me but he made the point that this is Lima, Ohio not the most open-minded of places in the world. Which is why I have never actually come out at school."

Quinn gave Santana a hug, "Wait a sec, Alex graduated a year ago, why haven't come out yet?"

"Because what Alex said about Lima is true, and it scares every fucking bone in my body." Santana's eyes well up, "but the only way this town will become less homophobic town is if more people come out. So are you in or out?" Both of them started to laugh uncontrollably and some how Quinn managed to say "I'm in for getting out." A few seconds later Judy Fabray walked in. Judy surveyed the situation; she saw Quinn and Santana laughing on the couch so hard that they were crying.
