Santana meets Lucy when she's seven years old.
It's the first day of kindergarten and she strolls up in there like she owns the place, which she does because hello she's Santana Lopez, and her gaze instantly falls upon a chubby, brunette haired girl that is quietly sitting away from all the kids. Her brilliant hazel eyes stops Santana in her tracks and makes butterflies appear in her tummy. They are so incredibly expressive and the pain is the most prominent emotion. It leaves her heart aching because such a beautiful girl shouldn't look so sad. Santana makes a decision and strolls up to the unknown girl.
"Hi, I'm Santana Lopez," the young girl states proudly. "What's your name?"
The brunette girl shyly looks up from her drawing of a unicorn and a look of confusion grazes her face. "Me? I'm Lucy Fabray."
"Well, Lucy Fabray, it's nice to meet you. Would you like to color with me?"
Lucy tentatively smiles and nods. "I would like that very much."
Their friendship blossomed from there. They played together during school, Santana protects Lucy from bullies, and Lucy teaches Santana how to color inside the lines. Even as the years went by, they grew closer together. They got their first matching best friend necklaces in the first grade, got their first piercings in the second grade, had their first sleepover in the third, went to see their first movie in fourth, spent their first vacation in Florida in the fifth, and had their first heartbreak in the sixth.
Lucy's family moving to Columbus for Russell's new job hit both girls the hardest. They were inseparable by then and spent everyday together. It was always Santana&Quinn or Quinn&Santana. From the moment they found out, the two girls spent every moment they could together, trying to savor the few remaining weeks they had together.
The day the Fabray's left, both girls cried all day. They hugged tightly, sobbing, promising to keep in contact through letter, phone calls, anything to keep the connected.
When they watched each other get further away, their hearts simultaneously broke.
Santana meets Quinn when she is sixteen years old.
It is her first day as a sophomore at McKinley High and she struts in like she owns the place, which she does because she is Santana Lopez and head cheerleader of the Cheerios. With her pinkie linked tightly with Brittany's, she easily maneuvered her way through the sea of red and to her locker in order to get her stuff for her classes.
Halfway there, she is frozen in place. Familiar hazel eyes meet brown and the entire world just melts away, the entire world except for her. She looks different, yet the same. She is taller, slimmer and her hair is dyed blonde. But those eyes. Those hypnotizing,beautiful, expressive hazel eyes are exactly the same.
Santana is running before she realizes what is happening and so does Quinn. It's so cliched and over played but at the same time, they are both too excited to wait. They meet in the middle and immediately engulf each other in a tight hug. Finally, years later, they are both together and they heartbreak they felt that fateful day is mended.
And this time, Santana isn't going to let go.
