Kurt and Santana are on the couch scarfing down junk food watching Jersey Shore as Rachel enters the apartment. She went grocery shopping and is carrying multiple bags to the kitchen. She walks back and takes a look at her best friend and her girlfriend staring at the tv like zombies. She continues to the doorway to grab more bags and take those into the kitchen. They are both still stuffing their faces and staring at the tv. She makes one more trip to the door to grab the rest and closes it behind her then walks back to the kitchen.

"Oh no honey, don't get up. I got this," Rachel says as she rolls her eyes and places the last bags on the table and walks towards the side of the couch and crosses her arms.

Kurt leans over to whisper to Santana, still not looking away from the tv. "Psst. I think Rachel is talking to you."

Santana leans in to whisper back, "She could be talking to you. Maybe you're honey."

Kurt shakes his head. "No, I'm sweetie. You're definitely honey."

Santana scoffs and turns to Kurt. "I'm sweetie sometimes therefore sometimes you can be honey."

Rachel uncrosses her arms. "Oh my god, I can hear you. I'm standing right here. I hear the both of you."

Santana looked shocked and leaped off the couch and threw her arms around Rachel. "Hey baby! I missed you!"

Rachel gently pushed Santana off. "Yeah I'm so sure. How about the both of you put away those groceries that I made three trips to bring in?"

Santana put her head down and hurried into the kitchen as Kurt turned to look at Rachel. "Why do I have to put them away? I didn't miss you."

"Because I paid for all of this food that you've been eating all afternoon. Now get your skinny self in the kitchen and help Santana."

Kurt got up. "I'm going. But not because you told me to. I'm doing it because you said I was skinny and I appreciate the compliment."

Rachel rolled her eyes and sat on the couch clicking through channels as the other two put away the groceries. Santana finished and then ran over to the couch and threw and arm around Rachel.

Rachel leaned up and gave her a quick kiss. "One minute fifteen seconds, you are so my bitch."

"Oh you wish."

Kurt took a seat in his usual chair. "She's right. She's got you so whipped it's scary."

"She does not! She just fills my heart with love so in turn I do whatever I can to make her happy." She turned to Rachel and gave her a sweet smile.

Rachel made an aww sound and then turned to Kurt. "More like I fill her vagina out like a job application and she behaves because she doesn't want me to stop."

"Hahaha wanky!"

Kurt sat there stunned. "I don't know why I hang out with you anymore."

Santana pointed at Kurt. "Oh I know! Because she buys us Sweet Chili Doritos."

Kurt nodded. "Ah yes, that actually is the reason."

Rachel laughed and slapped Santana's arm. "Oh you know what I want? One of those plant swings. We can hang it over the table."

"First, that hurt. And second, why do you even want that? It's a waste of money."

"It is not! I like the one Kurt has in his bedroom. It doesn't have a plant in it yet but just think how nice something like that would look in here."

Santana smirked and tried hard to hide her amusement as she looked over to Kurt.

Kurt blinked his eyes a couple of times. "Yes, a plant swing. That swing is totally for um...plants. You should get one."

Santana started laughing but doesn't have the heart to tell Rachel why.

Kurt shifted uncomfortably. "Anyway, guess who I found out are dating. Finn and Brittany."

Santana choked. "What? Are you serious? How? Why?"

Rachel looked over to her. "Does it bother you?"

"No it doesn't bother me. Brittany just always hated him. It's weird that they'd be dating now."

Kurt tilted his head. "Are you kidding me? You and Rachel act like a married couple and that was happening months before you even started officially dating. I think more people would be surprised over the both of you together now than them."

Santana rolled her eyes. "Stop making sense. I hate it when you do that."

"Whatever. Anyway I saw them in the city so I'm just passing along the information just in case you happen to run into them you won't die of shock."

They were surprised but still appreciated the irony of it all. At least they thought they did until they were leaving Nyada the next afternoon and saw Finn and Brittany waiting for them outside the school. Rachel being the civil one agreed to have dinner with them, much to Santana's disapproval. The four of them made it through dinner unscathed and Rachel and Santana put the encounter behind them. Five months have now passed and neither couple have spoken since and they figured it wasn't something they'd have to worry about again. Or at least they thought that until the couple was once again back in New York for a few days and they saw them again the nightclub. Rachel thought at least this time the encounter was random but Santana was convinced they researched where they worked just so they can see them again. They once again got suckered into hanging out because Rachel just can't say no to people. And now a day later Rachel and Santana are at home getting dressed. Santana angrily buttoning her top. Rachel will never admit that she actually thinks it's cute when Santana is angry, but she always tries to calm her down anyway.

"Rachel, what the hell were you thinking?"

"Have your breasts grown? They look so big and supple." Rachel said, as she rubbed Santana's shoulders.

"Don't try to compliment me."

Rachel stopped and turned to face Santana.

"Look, we were in a terrible situation and I made the first choice that came to mind."

Santana huffed. "But Game Night? With our exes? Have you gone full retard?"

Rachel starts laughing. "Oh come on. It's not going to be that bad."

"I hate game nights. You know that. It intensifies personalities. They make people crazy. You ever play Monopoly with friends and family? Four hours into a game you got hotels and cards flying all over the room and you're calling your own grandmother a cheating whore. Game nights ruin lives."

"Hey, I freed up our anniversary. You heard Brittany the other night. If I hadn't suggested this you know what would have happened. Do you want that? I certainly don't."

*Flashback to last night*

Rachel and Santana were in Finn and Brittany's hotel suite. The four of them sitting together on the balcony.

Finn sighed. "... You two, us two, a boat, some beers. It's the ultimate party."

Santana blinked and stared at him. "There's no way we said yes to this."

Brittany pulls out her planner. "Sure you did. See, October ninth. We bought the tickets. We're so excited!"

Finn smiled. "You owe us two hundred dollars."

Santana cleared her throat as she realized the date Brittany said. "October 9th is me and Rachel's one year anniversary."

Brittany looked even more excited. "Oh my God. That's perfect. We can be part of your precious moment!"

Rachel and Santana share a look as Rachel cleared her throat. "Can you excuse us a second?"

Santana and Rachel got up and moved into the suite and Rachel started pacing. "So here's what we know: Our anniversary on a boat with them ain't gonna happen."

"Right? How can they think we agreed to this?"

"Because we did. They trapped us with the 'far off plan'."

*Flashback. 5 Months Ago*

Finn, Brittany, Rachel and Santana were having dinner together at a delicious Italian restaurant.

Brittany pointed towards the girls, "Hey, what are you guys doing the second Saturday in October?"

Rachel and Santana in unison, "uhhhhhhhhhhhhh…"

*End Flashback*

Santana now starts pacing. "Ugh, I hate when people do that! It's so manipulative. Well, it ends now because this is unacceptable!"

Santana starts stomping towards the balcony but Rachel holds her back.

"No! This is when bad things happen. You're this sweet, lovely person, someone does something 'unacceptable,' and you go 'Red Santana'. Look at you. The big eyes, the attack stance. You're Hulking up here, baby."

Santana is all crazy eyed and panting. "I'm fine. I just want to talk."

"You look nuts. It's like Nicholas Cage is playing you."

"I don't want to spend our anniversary with them! There is so much wrong with that I cant even begin to fully express it. All I want is that night alone with you. Dinner, some wine, sex or too much pizza, whatever feels like the right call…Probably sex though."

Rachel hugs at Santana's side. "And we'll have that. We can get out of Saturday with no tears, we'll just give them something in exchange. They can have Friday. What's something that would excite both them and Kurt?"

Santana looked at her. "Kurt? What does Kurt have to do with anything?"

"I have plans with him Friday."

Santana rolls her eyes.

"Santana you know I can't cancel on Kurt. He's far too needy and dramatic."

*Flashback*

Rachel is sitting uncomfortably with a very upset Kurt in Starbucks.

"You want to cancel on me? On this of all nights? We were supposed to see Bridesmaids. What did I do to you to make you hurt me this way?"

*End Flashback*

Rachel snaps her fingers as the light bulb goes off in her head. "I got it. The thing that will make everyone happy. Finn, Brittany, Kurt. Not you though."

Rachel turned to yell towards the balcony. "Guys, we actually made anniversary plans Saturday, but we're free Friday! How about a Game Night?"

*End Flashback*

Santana shakes her head. "Game Night with our exes. Whatever happens tonight is on you."

"It will be fine, baby."

Santana sighed. "You know what? Let's have sex now. We're not going to want to after tonight is over."

"No. If we're going to be competing I feel like I should have my edge."

"Your edge? What, you feel that your gaming skills are infused with a particular sexual energy?"

Rachel crossed her arms. "Your tone is mocking but when I play there is a certain vigor I don't care to compromise."

Santana rolls her eyes and then hears the front door open. It's Kurt, of course. They hear him yell from the living room.

"I'm here! Am I the first to arrive?"

Santana yells back from their bedroom. "That happens when you're forty minutes early!"

Rachel grabs Santana's hand. "Relax. Tonight will be fine, and it's gonna buy us a nice quiet 'just us' anniversary tomorrow. Let me do this for you."

Rachel kissed her and she smiled. Santana walked to the door and let out a long deep breath, not quite ready for this. There are so many things Santana would have wanted to do today. Playing board games with her ex and her girlfriends ex who are now in a relationship with each other doesn't even make the top fifty.
