Santana and Brittany are best friends living in New York City in an apartment they share. Brittany is up for a huge promotion and her boss isn't against flattery and bribery on her employees' part to determine who gets the job. Luckily for Brittany, she learns she has something her competitor can't bring to the table.
Don't own Santana and Brittany, if I did they'd have more than two lines an episode. Just own this plot and a few original characters. Enjoy
Brittany groaned as she waited for the 16 page fax to go through. It was nearly quitting time on a Thursday and Brittany couldn't wait to catch a cab home and have a few beers with her best friend Santana.
They had been sharing an apartment in the city for about 4 years, ever since Santana graduated from Columbia with her accounting degree. Brittany got an internship at Cooper Designs a short time later. They hired fifteen interns at the time, running them rampant until they picked three to hire permanently. Brittany had made the final cut along with her friends Natalie, who was snatched up by the purchasing department, and Blake who wound up in customer relations. Brittany, however, was personally chosen by the mastermind behind the enterprise herself, Kristen Cooper. But while Brittany had celebrated, thinking she could finally get her hands on some real design work, she was sourly disappointed when she showed up on her first day of real employment only to find out she would be so very behind the scenes as Kristen Cooper's assistant.
Sure, she made three dollars more an hour, and the work was pretty easy. Kristen Cooper was all about her routine, and after almost four years, Brittany had it down pat. Every morning, Brittany would stop for Kristen's cinnamon raisin bagel; lightly toasted with fat free cream cheese, and a mango smoothie with an extra protein boost. She'd get to the office around 8:45, enough time to clear the voicemails off Kristen's phone and jot down the important ones. Once 9 o' clock hit, Brittany would spend her morning listening to her boss's sexual encounters of the previous night. Kristen Cooper was as gay as they came, but still had enough of a feminine side to be hot, Brittany thought.
"Did you fax those designs over to Mrs. Riley, Pierce?" her boss asked, breaking her from her thoughts.
"Yes, mam," she replied, handing the sheets back to her.
"Brittany. Look at me. I'm a flawless specimen in the prime of my life. Don't call me mam," she pointed out.
Okay, so she was a little arrogant. But Brittany didn't mind it too much. Hell, sometimes she even thought it was completely warranted. Cooper was brilliant, and a multi millionaire by the time she was 24.
"You got it, boss. Sorry, I'm just a little beat," Brittany explained.
"Well get your head in the game, blondie. And hey, get that Natalie from purchasing up here. I have something I want to talk to you two about," she directed. Oh God, Brittany thought. What could this be about?
Once they were both in Cooper's office, Brittany was fidgeting nervously.
"Natalie. Brittany. My two brightest stars. I need to talk to you about the opportunity of a lifetime. As you know, I just landed the new Hawthorne Loft over in Soho. It's a huge project, and it's going to make this company millions. But I need more than an assistant for this. I need a partner," she explained. Brittany's eyes lit up instantly. Kristen was about to make her partner! But why was Natalie here? Hell, maybe she would be Kristen and Brittany's new assistant. Suck it Natalie, Brittany thought.
"So it's between you two. This time next week I'll have my decision. Step up your game until then," she told them.
"Oh, Ms. Cooper thank you so much for this opportunity. How would you like to come to my place for dinner tonight? My boyfriend and I would love you have you. And of course I would love your opinion on my place. I did it myself," Natalie offered.
"Lovely. Leave the address with Brittany and I'll see you at 6 sharp. Brittany, I would like to have dinner at your place tomorrow night. Hard to believe all these years of you being my assistant and I've never see your place. But I guarantee I won't be hiring a partner with no taste in style," she told her.
What was harder to believe in Brittany's mind was that Kristen had to make this a competition instead of just giving Brittany partner. But damn, she really wanted this and she wasn't going to hold anything back.
"You bet. I think you'll like my place, and my roommate Santana is a great cook," she beamed, already planning the evening in her head.
"Very well. That's all, ladies. Good luck," she bid them farewell, kicking her feet up on her desk to read a magazine.
Brittany grinned as she grabbed her things and prepared to leave. She could almost picture her name on the side of that building already. Cooper and Pierce designs. Yeah, she liked the sound of that.
