HEADCANONS

Lemon was biologically born to Brittany and yes, Brittany was the one who chose to name her and why Santana would allow? No one really knows to this day.

Lemon takes after her mothers in many ways. Other than her physical appearance, she takes after Brittany’s kindness and good nature and she takes after Santana’s ambition and determination. Being raised by Santana and Brittany, she was put into gymnastics and dance at a young age and she grew up loving it and still dances and cheers to this day.

Growing up, Lemon was always exactly how you’d expect a little girl named Lemon to act like. Beautiful blonde hair that never passed her shoulders, a smile you could see a mile away, and sporting a little yellow dress at all times. It was around her child years that she began getting into pageants. At first it was because her moms knew she could get extra scholarship money to put back for college, but Lemon fell in love with the thrill of it all and even more when she realized she could start using that platform for good instead of just hairspray and bobby pins. If she doesn’t have a cheer or dance competition on weekends, she’s typically competing in pageants.

Lemon is a self-proclaimed feminist and she began advocating for women at a young age. Being raised by Santana and Brittany, she realized what it meant to be an awesome woman and an ally to the LGBTQ+ community at a young age since she had two moms.

The red WMHS uniform has came with a downside; Lemon basically doesn’t know how to make friends with anyone who isn’t in that uniform. She doesn’t do it on purpose, especially with being as extroverted as she is, but the uniform tends to scare people.

𝐖𝐇𝐎: Candy Motta & @crhqstarters​​​

𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐍: Monday, March 1st

𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄: WMHS

Graduation was only two months away – and Candy couldn’t wait to get out of high school once and for all. There was nothing left for her in Lima besides for her mom, so she wanted to go to LA where she knew that she was going to be famous and live her best life there. But first, she needed to survive the next two months – as she was walking down the halls of McKinley High and after seeing some loser crash into another one in their skateboard, Candy leaned against the lockers next to a familiar face. Looking over at the person that was standing by their locker, Candy let out a small sigh. “Do you ever get tired of this school? Because I know I can’t wait for graduation, so I can just leave this place. Don’t you feel that way?” Candy asked to the person, raising an eyebrow at them – it wasn’t usual for Candy to just start talking to someone like that, but there she was, watching the people walk past the halls and talking to each other. “Do you think that I’ll be able to wear a pink gown for graduation? Because I’ve seen that red gown and I know it’s the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen. Pink is just my color and Remington should just know that.” She said with a small smile, before reaching for her phone that was on her bag as she started mindlessly scrolling on Instagram.

🍋

If there was something Lemon had been looking forward to her entire senior year it was prom and graduation. With both right around the corner, it came to no surprise that Lemon was deep into planning mode. Her dress was ordered, her graduation robe was ordered, she ordered all of the weird senior packs that had the school name and graduation year on it and with her early admission to Ohio State University, she was already hunting for dorm decor and all. She was ready. It was all bittersweet to her because she had been around most of McKinley’s population since she was in diapers and she was going to miss her uniform. Everything about it was sad, but she was ready to start fresh. No one in Columbus knew Lemon Lopez-Pierce... other than the people who were going there. She didn’t have to be anything to please anyone. She didn’t have to be the pretty cheerleader, the perfect daughter, the girl next door, she could just be Lemon and that was pretty awesome. At Candy’s question, Lemon let out a chuckle and shook her head. “No, I love it here. I’d stay here forever if I could, but I’m really excited for college,” a pause. “Did you apply anywhere, Candy?” She asked, shutting her locker and turning her back to rest herself against it. “And no, Remington definitely won’t let you get away with that one. Plus, pink and red clash so badly. You’d be better off in red, convincing everyone to wear pink, or match something with the red gowns,” she explained before piping up with a suggesting. “What if you wore a white gown? And then maybe wear a pink dress underneath the gown? You know so after we graduate you can unbutton it and take cute pictures?”

DYLAN: thats true ! but i have like ... no idea who that could even be ! im not talking to anyone else or anything

DYLAN: what if i scare him of :((

DYLAN: idk about a million .. plus i dont want anyone else !

DYLAN: ughhhhhhhh y me !

DYLAN: tell me about u pls ! who is wooing u these days ?!

LEMON: well you're not going to know who it is and that's like the fun in every rom-com. it's always someone completely unexpected

LEMON: and i don't think you'll scare him off. i mean cam is super understanding and sweet so i think if there's any guy to be honest with, it's him.

LEMON: but love and crushes should be fun. you just need to be on the same page with him.

LEMON: which it's hard but we have our entire lives and i know high school couple tropes are amazing and i wish they did come true, but the honest truth is that were all so much better than lima guys.

LEMON: ugh literally no one. that football guy i was seeing a couple months ago came out which i should have expected when my mom said he smelled like lady gaga's fame perfume so. and kaden and i hooked up but that's like not a thing. so pretty dry on my end.

DYLAN: so now im like rly reading into things and idk what to do !

LEMON: okay okay

LEMON: i definitely wouldn't read into it? like clearly someone else is into you which is sweet but you know maybe just be up front? if you're into cam in more than a hook up way just say so and see what he says you know?

🥊 

Despite Lemon always seeming so disinterested in or annoyed by whatever Rocky had to say, she did always entertain him. To him this begged the question: did she really find him as insufferable as she let on? He guessed he was about to find out. “Why do you think I’m lying?” he asked with an unwavering smug smirk as Lemon sat on the inside of the booth stewing, “I liked it.” Realistically, he didn’t care for it all that much. Lemon was good, but her and Jaz of all people singing that song was kind of a joke. “You do know that song is about fucking though, right?” he asked with a shrug as he kept his eyes on her. Lemon’s clap back was honestly a little surprising. For someone who liked to act all high and mighty about morals and modesty, she was being awfully bold and confident. “Guess I am a little jealous,” he said with a quirked brow, “are you offering?” He was having fun with their little banter or whatever, but the second Nessa was brought up, he clicked his tongue. That was a lost cause. He liked her and shit, but every time he got close to her it felt like she was swatting him away. Why did every chick at McKinley try to be a tease all the time? “I’m not Nessa’s keeper,” he stated as he glanced around the restaurant, “I don’t know where she is.” And then a pause as he looked at Lemon again. “Wait, how the fuck did you even get in? You telling me that you and Kaden boned and he didn’t even ask you to come as his date?” Damn, Lemon really wasn’t the kind of girl she said she was. “Savage,” he said with a chuckle, scooting closer to talk into her ear, “I would’ve at least brought you to Candy Land.” 

🍋

“I’m aware of the context of the song, yes,” Lemon nodded with a strained smile as she glanced at Rocky. “I don’t know if you know this, but I did take 9th grade English so I’m totally capable of reading into song lyrics,” maybe she was being a tad too harsh, but Lemon had a habit of always acting discordant towards Rocky. This was how they always were. They never broke character and Lemon wouldn’t start now, but it seemed like every conversation they had, she was always teetering towards a point of snapping, but maybe she didn’t have to hold back as much now. She was a changing girl. Okay, so one hookup wasn’t going to change her entirely, but she was more open. More than she used to be, at least. “Not one bit,” she shook head head back and forth, sucking in a breath. While at times Lemon hated entertaining this game, tonight was different. She’d bite. “Perhaps I’d consider it though,” a pause. “You know, if you weren’t a total dick,” as the conversation dragged on, Lemon realized she hadn’t spotted Nessa either. Weird. She couldn’t have gotten too far, but she did clock it as an odd sight that she hadn’t spotted her anywhere. “Hmm,” that was her entire response to everything he said about Nessa. He raised a valid point, but she figured most people kept up with their dates. “I’m here with Finn,” She didn’t need to come to Candyland with Kaden because everything between them was strictly sexual and it had ended. That was what she liked to call progress. She simply didn’t care about being his date to anything. That was fun! As Rocky edged closer to her, she let out a wry chuckle. Lemon moved closer to him, this time to be the one to talk in his ear. “Too bad I would’ve said no,” she whispered. Satisfied with herself, she inched away and pushed a piece of hair out of his face. “Are you done now? I’d like to go hang out with my friends, if you don’t mind and you,” she knocked his leg with her foot, “are in my way.”

“If Finn goes Amber Alert mode, I’ll go full blown Liam Neeson for her,” Otto said with a laugh before she was rolling her eyes playfully at Lemon’s compliments. Regardless of her laidback demeanor, Otto had done quite the work getting to the dolled up stage she was in. She had gone shopping with her mom throughout the week to find a good enough outfit, not to mention the amount of times she redid her makeup to make sure it was perfect. “Oh hush, we both look super hot then.” It was always easy falling into a more gossip centered person whenever she was hanging around her friends, but especially with her girl friends. Whereas Theo and Michael wouldn’t want to listen to the most gossip in the world, she knew that’s where her friendships thrived. “I don’t know,” Otto said with a fast paced low whisper before she was grabbing a hold of Lemon’s forearm and giving it a squeeze, almost as if she were trying to communicate that she was telling the truth. “It’s feels like we are but I don’t -” Otto’s words melted away whenever she caught sight of Michael having a conversation with someone’s parent. God, he looked so handsome. “I think I want that.” It was always easier for her to gossip about her feelings than to actually tell him. “And what about you? I know you’re not ogling Finn all night. Spill.”

🍋

Lemon loved to gossip. She was never at a Ruby-type level, but in truth Lemon did like to know what was going on with her friends and she always felt like there was a sliver of relatability in gossiping, as long as they were talking about themselves and not other girls at school. “I think you should totally go after him,” she replied. While Michael Chang was not the kind of guy she expected Otto to go for, she had to admit she wasn’t completely in shock either. It was one of the age old questions. Could guys and girls be friends without romantic feelings involved? Lemon would always answer yes, but in the case of Michael and Otto maybe that wasn’t the case. And Lemon did always love an outlier as much as she loved romance. “Well, I had sex with Kaden. Just a total hookup, so I’m basically a new woman,” she quickly told the other before grabbing Otto’s hand and pulling her towards an empty booth, sitting down in it. “But tonight isn’t about me, because I’m not the one with super hot romantic interests,” as much as she dreamed about it, “tell me everything with Michael. Like what made you go from friends to Candyland dates? We haven’t caught up in literally forever.”

lemon lopez-pierce is interviewing for the position CHOREOGRAPHER

So, not only have I been a varsity cheerleader at William McKinley High School for four years which is a huge feat in itself, I’m actually co-captain and I think this shows my tremendous leadership skills as well as physical skills to be able to choreograph such a show. Considering Spring Awakening isn’t dance heavy that means I would only have to choreograph a few scenes and that means you don’t have to pay me.

Aside from cheering, I have been dancing since I was four years old at my mother’s studio so I have about... over a decade of professional training and I have helped choreograph at my high school for productions such as Mamma Mia and I have played Rusty in Footloose and Cha Cha in Grease, Cha Cha being a dance heavy role so I think I’d be a perfect candidate.

Lastly, I’d simply like to step away from performing so much. During Into the Woods, I think I really realized I don’t enjoy being center stage, but I love helping and teaching but I do love being around the stage! So, even if you choose not to have a choreographer or go in another direction, I’d love to cater and help out in some way. Thank you!

VANESSA SHRUGGED AS SHE DISPENSED A SHOOTER and signaled she was going to toss it in lemon’s direction. “catch.” once she was alerted, v threw it her way. watching it soar into lemon’s hands, she uncapped her own, “i mean yeah, why not? it’s like, a holiday, bitch!” she exclaimed. stepping over to lemon, she clinked her mini against lemon’s and toasted, “cheers!” throwing back to liquor in a swift motion, nessa gulped hers down quickly, then came up with a gasp and a wince at the taste. when they were finish, v moved to hide the bottles under some wet paper towels in the trash can as her and lemon conversed, “i’m not hiding, i’m having fun.” she explained simply, “god forbid some adult see all the drinking everyone is doing.” she laughed. pondering her question, she shrugged, “rocky’s rocky, it’s all good.” a pause as she narrowed her eyes, “wait how’d you get in here?”

🍋

Lemon’s eyes widened as Nessa just nonchalantly dispensed literal alcohol from the tampon dispensary and threw it her way. Catching the bottle, it took her no time as she popped it open, clinking their tiny bottles together. “You’re actually insane, Santos. I hope you know that,” she said, before downing the liquid, a grimace coming onto Lemon’s face at the bitter taste. “Ugh,” she shuddered, passing the bottle back to Nessa so she could throw it away. “In the bathroom, though? You couldn’t think of a better way to hide your alcohol?” With a laugh, Lemon shook her head. There were a few other ways Lemon would have hid her alcohol in Breadstix, but none would have been as creative as V’s tampon shots. “Oh! Right,” Lemon exclaimed, “Finn and I tried to bribe our way in with Candy, which didn’t work, but we came in together so I guess technically Finn’s my date,” she quickly explained, waving her hands around for emphasis. “You have more of those little things?” She inquired, pointing to the tampon dispensary.

WHO: @candymotta & @finnschuesters & @lemonlopez​ WHEN: February 14th WHERE: Candyland, Breadstix

It was Candy’s day – well, in fact, she had made sure that the whole month was hers, but today it was her birthday. She was lucky enough to be born on Valentine’s Day, so her day wasn’t about having a boyfriend or a girlfriend, it was about her. Some people had finally started arriving at Breadstix for the party, which she greeted with a smile – she was sure that the party was going to be a success. “What are you doing?! There’s supposed to be three microphones! Don’t you know how to count?!” Candy told the person that was taking care of the stage for all of the performances that were going to happen that night. As she rolled her eyes and walked away from the stage, she noticed Finn and Lemon approaching her – she didn’t know that the two were a couple now, but she wasn’t surprised that something like that had happened. It was Lima after all. As she looked at them up and down, checking their outfits, she gave them a smile. “Can I help you, ladies? And if you’re here to ask me if there’s no way that I can get rid of Lennon over there…” She motioned towards LJ, before turning her attention back to the girls. “I’m afraid that there’s nothing I can do about… that.” She said, before clapping her hands together, waiting for the others to answer her.

🍋

Showing up dateless was not Lemon’s idea but no guys had asked her and she wasn’t about to ask Soccer Kyle last minute so after hearing Finn was in a similar predicament, they paired up to buy Candy a gift which would hopefully buy their way into Candyland. Apparently both of them assumed that when Candy said dates she meant a real date, but they were also on a last minute schedule and limited bank accounts so they ran to the nearest thrift store, found something that looked like something Candy would wear, went half and half on it, went to another store, got wrapping paper, got a card, and then wrapped it all with time to spare to make it to Breadstix. Walking into the place, Lemon silently hoped they could just walk in and no questions asked but Candy was already in plain sight so with a sigh, they approached the birthday girl. “No, no, LJ’s fine,” Lemon said. “Um, happy birthday! We got you a gift!” She explained, nudging Finn to give Candy the gift. When the present eventually ended up in Candy’s hands, Lemon prayed that the Bath & Body Works perfume she sprayed on the item earlier would mask any kind of thrift smell. “And we were wondering if we could just come in? We don’t have dates, but like you know we got you a gift, we’re friends... we were hoping there could be some sort of exception.”

WHEN: candyland, 2/14. WHERE: girls bathroom.

 AS FAR AS NESSA WAS CONCERNED, candyland being a family friendly event was a load of bullshit. between coming to her own conclusions that rocky, her date, absolutely was not beard material and panicking that everyone in the breadstix vicinity was going to randomly be tipped off that she was into girls, v was forever grateful that vanessa-from-three-days-ago had configured the tampon machine in the ladies room to dispense little shooter bottles of alcohol. on and off throughout the night, she made trips to the bathroom for her minis. sometimes she brought friends, other times she shared with other girls in the bathroom, and all around the tipsy feeling that was settling over her ultimately calmed her mind and allowed her to get out of her head and start having fun. making a trip back to the bathroom again, she paused as the door never closed behind her. turning to the person, she raised a curious brow and smirked, “you wanna drink?” 

🍋

After her interaction with Rocky, Lemon needed to breathe. She needed a moment where she could just silently scream in peace so it was no surprise that she had made her way to the Breadstix restroom to hopefully get that, only to find Nessa in there. Of course. In any other instance she would be freaking out, but at her question, Lemon couldn’t help but smile. “Yes,” she said, simply with a smile. “Did you really bring alcohol here?” She asked, knowing the easy answer to that would probably be something along the lines of yes. Lemon didn’t know anything about the tampon machines being rigged to pop out little bottles of alcohol. “What are you doing hiding out here?” she questioned, moving over to lean against one of the walls. If she wasn’t going to skulk in the bathroom and chit chat with Nessa instead then she wanted to be a little comfortable. “Rocky being a fucking menace?”
