An-this is my first ever Glee fic and I'm just getting into the show. I hope you enjoy my story and feel free to give feedback. Constructive criticism is always welcome (as well as the good ones!).

The stars twinkled brightly above Santana. At least in her mind they were twinkling bright. Not as bright as her Brittany always shone. It was still a wonder to be able to say that Brittany was really hers not just behind closed doors and in a restaurant with a napkin over their adjoined hands. It was something she would have to be grateful to Finn for.

Although her parents had accepted her lifestyle, her Abuela had literally turned her back on her. That hurt her more than words could describe and made those bright stars not so bright. She had been very close to the older woman and had wanted to share every aspect of her life especially the ones that made her so happy. Though she was old fashioned Santana still held out hope that one day she and her Abuela would be able to reconcile and they could share their lives together once again.

Another thing making those stars not so bright was Christmas break. She and her family were not going anywhere this year but Brittany was. Her family had decided to go somewhere warm for the vacation and what better place to spend it than Disney World! The excitement in Brittany's voice almost made the pain she felt at their being apart on this special holiday their first real one together fade away.

But the pain was far too real at the thought of being away from Brittany for one of the biggest holidays. Tears streaked down her cheeks as she looked up at the glistening stars. Still it made her smile through the tears thinking about Brittany and how much fun she would have at a place like Disney World. It was the fact that she was so innocent and so untouched by the harshest things of life that made her that much more appealing.

The phone beeped letting her know that she had a text message. Her heart fluttered a bit as she realized that it was Brittany. It simply said 'missing you tons more so when with Mickey'. Santana didn't have the heart to tell her that Mickey wouldn't actually be in the hotel room with her. But she would still be able to see him so that would make a bit of difference.

Santana typed in a short reply of 'miss you too! See you when you get back!' And with that, the phone was dead. She had wanted to see Brittany before she left but the tickets had been purchased at the last minute and everyone was scrambling to get around to go. It was making this Christmas even more depressing by the minute.

The cheerleader forced herself to stop looking out the window. Looking up at the stars was only causing the pain to become greater. She threw herself down on the bed and wrapped her arms around her pillow. There staring back at her was a picture of Brittany. It was one of them together taken not too long ago.

It made her smile as she remembered the day. It was just before the election. They had gone on their date and Santana had forced her to cover up their hand holding. It was after that that the picture had been taken. Dark haired raven beauty had decided to make up for that little insult. She had taken her to a park that no one went to at night especially in the colder weather. Bundled up in a sleeping bag and blankets the two shared a few hours of simply snuggling with one another and holding hands.

That was one of the best moments she could remember ever sharing with someone. Of course what was even better was as they gathered everything up Brittany had surprised her with a gentle kiss on the cheek. That one kiss led to a gentle kiss on the lips. The gentle kiss had become passionate and the two girls had once again fallen on the piles of blankets and sleeping bag. Their hands had roamed and in one swift move Santana had undone Brittany's bra clasp.

But Santana had stopped before letting it go any further. There had been a hurt look in her girl's eyes not understanding at first why she had stopped. When she had explained that she wanted to wait a bit until they made love for the first time Brittany understood or at least she said she had. Santana wanted their first time with each other to be special. She wanted to give Brittany the moon, the stars, and everything else she could give her.

One special night, that was all the young woman wanted. She had even planned on this Christmas being that one special night. It would have been after both had spent their time with their families. It would have come after a day of joy and ended in more pleasure then either woman had ever felt before in their lives. It would have been something indeed.

Another tear rolled down Santana's cheek as she knew what she was missing out on. It went back to her Abuela as well as her missed time with Brittany. Even if they had just been together it would have made for a better Christmas. Still, Brittany was now her girl and it was out in the open so they would be able to hold hands and not be afraid of being outted.

Santana squeezed her pillow even tighter imagining that it was Brittany that she was holding in her arms. 'If only' was all she could think of. If only it really was Brittany in her arms. The way she smelled, the way that she tasted, the way that she felt was enough to make her feel alive in so many ways. It also made her ache with every fiber of her being.

The young woman covered herself up and tried to go to sleep. The pain would lessen if she was dreaming about Brittany. Being awake made it easier to concentrate on what she did not have instead of what she did have. After all, it was Brittany's heart that belonged to her. And unlike those before her, she would never treat it wrong. Never.

Brittany read the return text message and smiled. It took all that she had in her not to reply to it. She knew that her girl was probably unhappy right not and she hated doing that to her. Santana had always been good to her over the years whether they were simply friends or more than friends. It was time for her to be the one to treat her girl right.

It had taken all her willpower but she had told her parents that she would not go to Disney World with them. Though meeting Mickey Mouse and even more importantly Tinkerbelle was difficult to give up there were some things that were more important. True, the pair had other holidays together. But this was their first holiday as a real actual couple.

Thinking that they were a couple made her heart skip a bit. While the young blond had been in other relationships this felt so different than any that had come before. Santana was someone with an inner strength, a beauty beyond compare, and someone with a gentle soul. Though she kept a guarded exterior with most, with Brittany she was simple amazing.

Many would not think that the young cheerleader would be able to plan something like this. But many underestimated her in the past. Artie had called her stupid and that was the reason she had broken up with him. He was nice enough but he had suddenly changed. Perhaps it was because he was jealous. But he and Santana had been the few not to call her stupid.

But the guy in a wheelchair was not worth thinking about. She loved being in Glee Club with him but nothing more. She even liked him less when it came to being a director. But this time was not about him nor was it about anyone from her past or Santana's. This was about new beginnings. This was about starting a new relationship with a bang.

Brittany waved as her family drove off in the minivan. Again a part of her wanted so badly to go with them to the magic kingdom. Who wouldn't want to see where all the magical things in the world originated from? Even Santa was known to hang out there at this time of the year. And who said that Santa wasn't real? Whoever that was needed to be shot!

The young blond skipped through the hallway and back up the stairs. She had to make everything perfect for their oh so special night. To plan something like this was not exactly in her realm but she'd been surprised a couple times in the past. It was her time to pass on that magic that had been passed onto her. Again, this was so different. This was with Santana.

Quickly she tore off her old bed sheets and threw them into the bathroom. They could be taken care of later. It took only a few moments to put on the red satin sheets she had bought on e-bay. Already she had washed them thoroughly but who could pass up the sheets used in a Brittany Spears video? It would make their night that much more special.

The cheerleader then placed candy caned scented candles all throughout the room. It wasn't the usual thing for a romantic evening but it went with the time of year nicely. She had learned the hard way though that they were only for smelling. It had taken about twenty minutes of brushing her teeth and using mouthwash to get the taste out of her mouth.

The final touches were putting silk scarfs over her lamps. She had found out the hard way last summer that you had to be careful how you put them on there and how long you left the light on. It was a difficult thing to explain to her parents about how a fire had started in her room. Fortunately they had just assumed that she was being a teenager and nothing more.

What other special touches could she do? Brittany ran down the stairs to the kitchen. She had hidden a tray of strawberries behind the moldy cheese. That was one way to make sure that nobody touched them. She also found the hidden chocolate dip and the whipped cream. Those both had more possibilities than just the strawberries.

Brittany grinned a mischievous grin with that thought. It made her want to move faster so that she could gather her girl and make it known just how much she cared for her. The cheerleader had known a lot of people but no one like her girl. This was going to be like the first time for her. When it was with someone you truly loved it was that more special.

The anticipation was killing her so she put everything in its place and proceeded to bundled up. She grabbed the keys to the small car. So glad that only the ambiance of the room that they were to make love in was the key and not how she got her there. The roads were clear and the night was bright. All the stars and the moon shown down on her almost lighting her way to her girl's house.

Brittany's heart skipped several beats as she pulled up to the front of Santana's house. It skipped even more as she made it to the front door. Her breathing was a bit ragged and she was just so excited. It took a bit to get herself calmed down enough but finally she felt it was time. Slowly she reached out and rang the doorbell. The door opened and there stood…
