AN: Hey everyone. So this is my very first Brittana fic. The idea for this story pretty much slapped me in the face while I was having a conversation with another Brittana writer about something that was going on in real life. So between the idea gnawing away at my brain and her giving me a nudge to just do it, I finally caved. So a BIG thanks to her (who I will leave anonymous for now, just in case this story bombs).

Brittana do not start off as a couple or even friends in this fic, but they are most definitely endgame. Hope you all enjoy taking this adventure with me. Anyways, here goes nothing.

I do not own any of Glee characters, the songs, or the Universities.

Chapter One: Welcome to the DMV

Santana's POV

You have been lying in bed for the past hour trying to figure out why the hell you are awake at 10:30AM when you don't have to be at work until 3 PM. Then you hear Fuego bark again and it all comes rushing back to you why you are awake at 10:30 AM. This damn black squirrel, yes you are serious it is literally an all BLACK squirrel, decided to sit on your backyard fence and tease your damn dachshund. Sometimes you wish you had went and got him debark or at least trained him like you did Daemyn. You get up out of bed again and look out the window into your backyard. You see Daemyn, your Chocolate Labrador, simply laying in the shade staring at Fuego who is still barking at that stupid squirrel. Part of you wishes that you had your airsoft gun in your room so you can shoot the damn bushy rodent. The other part is wishing the damn thing would fall off the fence, just so Fuego can kill him and stop barking.

You are shocked Quinn hasn't busted into your room bitchin' and moanin' about Fuego's incessant barking yet. She must already be up and at work or has her earplugs in.

You look at your phone and see its 10:45 now. You guess you should go venture out and see what you can eat for breakfast. Now being the sexy and free spirited person that you are, it is very much known within the household and amongst your friends that you are not self-conscious about your body. So you being you, you don't think twice about walking down the stairs through the living room and into the kitchen in just a beater and boy shorts.

You see Quinn's back to you as soon as you get to the threshold. Her hair is sticking up at crazy angles and she is still in her pjs. She is staring at the coffee pot like she is willing it to hurry the hell up and finish brewing. She is so focused on the damn pot, that she has not realized that she isn't alone anymore.

You clear your throat, which causes her to jump slightly and turn around. "Morning Q". She glares at you, then mumbles "morning" and turns back to the pot.

You fully enter the kitchen and walk over to the cabinet and pull out a mug for yourself since Quinn already has one. You lean up against the counter next to Quinn waiting for the mouthful of words you know she will throw at you once she takes three sips of her coffee. The coffee finishes brewing and she fills both of your mugs with the oh so good you wanna slap your momma Colombian coffee, that you had to get from one of your "cousin's" bodegas in Langley Park. She pushes both mugs your way so you can fix them up just the way yall like them.

Quinn's moods gauge on how she wants her coffee. You take another side glance at her. Her hair and her facial expression tell you everything you need to know. You mix in enough creamer until the color is slightly lighter than your complexion, which is caramel by the way, and you add 4 scoops of sugar. You push hers to her and proceed to mix your own mug. Once you're done, you lean back against the counter while bringing your mug to your lips and simply wait for Quinn. As she takes her third sip she eyes you up and down then places her mug on the counter. She takes a breath and turns to you.

"You need to do something about that fucking dog! I was in the middle of an AWESOME dream where Alex Pettyfer was giving me a foot massage while we were watching I Am Number Four and the next thing I know I'm being yanked out of my sleep by a yapping dog! I still don't understand why you bought him, when you already have Daemyn! Like really Santana what the hell were you thinking when you got that little yapper! And it doesn't even make any sense! Like why would you buy a small dachshund when you already have a Labrador?! And don't you ever wear any fucking clothes while walking around the house?!" Quinn yells.

You're looking at Quinn with a neutral expression because you already knew that she was about to go off about Fuego. The thing you were not expecting was how short she actually made this rant.

You set your mug down on the counter and turn slightly to her with your arms crossed. You tilt your head slightly to the left and say "That's it?" You were totally expecting something longer than that, but cool. "Q, I don't know why you are fussing about Fuego when you love my little monster to death. Also you know good and damn well why I got him. With us in school and at work Daemyn was getting lonely. His separation anxiety was getting worse and did you really want another big dog here. A small dog was the best choice and you know it. Plus we just HAD to save Fuego from the Amish. I mean I think they were seriously running a puppy mill or something with all those different kinds of breeds there."

Quinn just looks at you because she is in somewhat disbelief you didn't shout back at her. The she opens her mouth and says "Wow S. I'm proud you didn't yell back at me for one. And two you're right about Fuego. I do love that little shit, but why does he always have to bark at every moving creature?!"

"Q, you know he's a hound. Hell, you did more research on his breed than I did. I just thought he was cute for a wiener." Quinn just chuckles softly at you while grabbing her mug, then proceeds to say "Whatever bitch...go make me some breakfast".

You scoff at her and say "do I look like your slave?! I think not you can make your own food." She laughs at you and says "Come on S. I mean your dog woke me up from a bangin' dream. You owe me!"

You laugh and shake your head at her. "Fine...you want your usual?" Quinn smiles and perks up some saying "Yes please." She gives you a peck on your cheek then says " Thanks bestie!" and skips out of the kitchen into the living room to watch the TV.

45 minutes later

You shout "Quinn! Get your fat ass in here, your breakfast is done!" as you finish putting all the food on the island. She comes scampering into the kitchen and smiles brightly at the spread she sees. Blueberry pancakes, scrambled eggs with cheese, bacon, hash browns, and fluffy biscuits. You smirk at Quinn because you can practically see the drool inching its way slowly to the floor from her mouth.

Laughing at her, you say "are you going to stand there and stare at it all day or are you going to eat?" She finally snaps out of her food daze and walks over to the island to sit on a stool. You sit down as well and yall start piling food onto your plates in silence. The silence remains the entire time you are eating.

Once you are done eating, you see there is quite a bit of food left over. You always seem to cook more than what is needed. You decide you might as well not waste the food and divide it into two bowls. You head down the hallway towards the back door. You take the bowls and place them on the deck after you opened the back door. You don't even need to call the boys because they already heard you come outside.

You decide to sit in one of the chairs that you have on the deck and watch the boys devour the food. You look up to your right and groan. That stupid squirrel is still on the damn fence.

One hour later

Quinn comes outside dressed in jeans and her work t-shirt. You guess she does have work today. She sits down in the chair across from you and glances at the boys real quick before looking back up at you. "You know we only have three days before school starts back up" she says. "Yeah I know. The summer break was fun while it lasted" you say. Quinn gives you a small smile and says "Well you know Kurt went in to work at 9 AM and will be getting off at 6 PM. I have work from 1:30 until 9:30 tonight. What time are you going in today and getting off at?" You look at her and smirk. "First off just...Wanky." She rolls her eyes at you and shakes her head. You continue speaking after you chuckle at her reaction. "Second I work from 3 PM until close today. So I should be home a little before midnight tonight. Why?"

Quinn sighs and proceeds to say "I just wanted the three of us to have a movie night before we get thrown back into our schoolwork." You think about it for a second and start nodding. You agree a movie night with your two besties before the craziness that is school does sound nice. You look at Quinn and say "How about tomorrow night? I work the 11 to 6 shift tomorrow and I believe Kurt has off. Is that cool?" Quinn smiles and says "Yeah that's perfect. I'll text Kurt to pick up the essentials. Well I best be off to work."

You think real quick if there is anything you want Quinn to pick up from work with her employee discount while she is saying bye to Daemyn and Fuego. Then it suddenly hits you that the new Soul Screamers book With All My Soul should be at her store, The Singing Book, by now. "Quinn." She looks up at you from scratching Fuego's belly. "Can you pick up the new Soul Screamers book for me please? It should be at your store by now, since it came out back in March." She laughs at you and you know it's because of a couple of reasons. One is because you are always using her discount to get music and books. And the other is because she is one of two people, the other being Kurt, that knows about your LOVE for paranormal fiction. It's true you love anything paranormal. Whether it's vampires, werewolves, witches, ghosts, succubi, Greek gods, etc. doesn't matter to you. Quinn finally answers you and says "Sure. Nerd." You look at her and say "You're one to talk you WORK in a book/music store." Quinn says "Whatever bitch and heads back inside to leave."

You look down at your phone and see it is nearly 1 PM. You call the boys to me so you can scratch their ears and say your goodbyes to them because you need to go get ready for work. After five minutes you head inside and back up to your room.

You stare at your closet trying to figure out what to wear. You don't even know why you are truly bothering since nobody will really get to see you since you work in the back. You grab a pair of jeans, then go over to your dresser to grab a black tee, underwear, a bra, and some socks. You throw all of this onto your bed and grab your phone and proceed into you en suite bathroom. Yes, you have en suite bathroom because you totally Deebo'd Kurt and Quinn for the master bedroom. You then put your iPhone on the dock and go to your music. You look at your playlists and think briefly of which one you want to listen to while showering. You pick the playlist uncreatively titled Shower 2 and hit play.

Next you hear En Vogue's Hold On come thru your speakers and you start to sing along with it.

When I had you

You walk over to the shower and turn it on while adjusting it to the right temperature.

I treated you bad

You strip out of your beater and boy shorts.

Wrong my dear

You grab a towel out of the bathroom closet and set it down on the counter next to the sink.

But since, since you went away

You pull the shower curtain aside and get in.

Don't you know I sit around
With my head hanging down

You grab your shampoo, squirt some into your hand, and start to wash your hair while you continue singing. And very loudly you might add.

And I wonder who's loving you

Oooh, my first mistake was
I wanted too much time
I had to have him morning, noon, and night
If I would of known then
The things that I know now
I might not have lost the time I complain about

Don't waste your time
Fighting blind minded thoughts of despair
Hold on to your love
You gotta hold on
Hold on to your love
Ooh, ooh, baby hold on
Hold on to your love
You gotta hold on
Hold on to your love

The art of playing games now
Is not the hearts you break
It's bound to good love you make
When it's heart's on fire
Give him love everyday
Remember he needs space
Be patient and he'll give his heart to you

[chorus]

Trust and honesty too
Must be the golden rule
You'll feel the strength of passion in your soul
Burn so deeply within
Ooh, the magic that you share
So sacrifice and show how much you care

[chorus][ad lib:]
Keep the ties
Hang on tight
And don't let go
No, no, no, no
If you need him
Just keep on
Just keep on hanging on
Little trust, honesty, golden rules
Feel the strength of passion in your soul
It's burning so deep
Have faith
Just keep the fire burning at home
Hey yea
He'll come home to you
He'll be there for you
He'll want to have you

[fade]

After washing, combing, and rinsing out your hair. You grabbed the conditioner while the next song was about to play. You have your 90s shower playlist, so it's no surprise that another En Vogue comes on.

You continue on singing with the songs that are on your playlist even when you are finished with your shower and are getting dressed now. You still have your hair wrapped up in a towel after you are completely dressed. You walk back in to your bathroom and grab your hair accessories. You apply the necessary products and pull your hair back into a simple bun.

You head downstairs and head towards the front door. You stop in the hallway to grab your purse and keys. You throw on your black chucks, grab your aviators, leave the house, and jump into your truck to head to work at La Riza Cafe in Du Pont Circle.

Brittany's POV

You don't have to be at work for another three hours. So you just continue sitting on the couch in your boxers and black beater eating your Cinnamon Toast Crunch while watching Avatar: The Last Airbender. You freaking love this cartoon. Sokka is hilarious and you think Katara is kind of cute for a cartoon.

You have the entire house to yourself right now because Mike and Puck are both at work right now. Puck wanted the extra cash so he decided to work a double shift today and Mike's last class gets out at 3:30. Mike texted you earlier saying he plans on swinging by your job after he goes through his new routine after his class ends. Mike works at Crazy Legs Studio on Georgia Ave. That kid has some SERIOUS moves and it's awesome to have someone who can keep up with you.

Mike and you met your freshman year at GW. You guys had English and Algebra together. So you got to know each throughout the semester since you always sat in the back and goofed off some. He is from VA and was looking to get out of his parents' house ASAP. You all got lucky because Puck, who you have known since Pre-K, and you were trying to get out of our parents' houses as well and found a nice house in Brandywine, but you needed another roommate to make rent. Mike told you he had a job and could cover the difference, but you wasn't sure how Puck and him would get along. So you decided we should all go out and see how they got along. Mike suggested this spot out in P.G. County where they could both hang out and possibly make some money. Come to find out it was a street race. Puck and Mike hit it off right away, not to mention won a couple of races. The next day Puck contacted the landlord, handed over the security deposit along with first and last month's rent, that we had mostly pooled together just from last night's winnings. Now it's almost two years later and you are all still going strong as roommates.

Lord Tubbington, your big-boned cat, waddles into the living room, looks up at you and meows. You guess he must be out of food because that is the only time he meows. He is giving you this look that is pretty much saying get off your ass and feed me bitch. You sigh while getting up off the couch and head to the kitchen with Tubbs trailing very slowly behind you. You place your bowl in the sink, then walk over to the pantry to get Tubbers food. You fill up his bowl with food and make sure he has enough water. You figure since you're up you might as well feed Faith because you know Puck and Mike didn't feed her before going to work.

Faith is Puck's little brother Jake's dog. Jake is an Air Force firefighter and since he still lives in the dorms on base, so Faith can't stay with him. Jake had found her wandering in the woods, where he was running at, when she was only about 6 months old. She had no tags and looked malnourished. Jake had somehow managed to coax her to him and ran back to his truck with her. He took her to the closest vet that he found on his iPhone. The vet doesn't allow walk-ins, but he made an exception this time once he saw the condition of the pup. Once he hooked her up to an IV, administered numerous shots based on her age and weight, and had his nurse stay with the pup. He walked over to Jake and informed him about the pup. The vet said "She looks to be mixed breed of a Labrador and Golden Retriever. She also is not micro chipped. She is severely dehydrated and malnourished. I did not know what you want to do, but I am willing to keep her overnight to treat her dehydration. I will also be kind and not charge the usual amount because of the situation. So what do you want to do? I need to know because otherwise I will have to send her to the shelter." Jake had asked the vet for a moment. He knew that he couldn't keep her in the dorms and his mom was allergic to dogs. He had faith she would make it and become healthy with time. He also felt guilty and conflicted just letting her get shipped off to the animal shelter. He did the one thing he could think of at the moment, he called his big brother.

Even though he has only known Puck for the past five years, they had formed a true sibling bond quickly. Guess their mutual dislike for their deadbeat dad will do that. Jake takes out his iPhone and calls Puck. Puck answers his phone "Hey little bro. What's up?" Jake takes a breath before speaking "Noah I have to ask you for a huge favor and I will owe you if you help me out." Puck says "Alright. Let's hear it." Jake proceeds to tell Puck everything about the pup. Puck immediately agrees to let the pup stay, even though he didn't even ask yourself or Mike. You guess he felt for his brother and the pup since she was a stray.

That was a year ago. Jake had ended up naming her Faith because he had all the faith in the world she would be alright in the end. Jake takes great care of her and is always here at the house whenever he isn't at work. He got real lucky that you live pretty much down the street from Andrews.

You head outside with her food bowl in your hand. She comes running at you full speed to greet you. She is really a wonderful dog and smart as hell. You've taught her a few tricks yourself, like how to "fist bump", she uses her head for that though. You thankfully already put the food down because she nearly tackled you to the ground. Once you got her to settle down and roll over, you rubbed her belly for a few minutes before you sent her to go eat. You went inside and headed upstairs when you saw it was 3:15. You need to get ready to head out for work soon.

After a shower you threw on black beater and some jean shorts. You grabbed your aviators off your dresser along with your phone. You head back downstairs grab your keys off the kitchen counter and continue to the hallway closet. You grab your black boots and put them on. You lock up the house and continue to your car hoping you don't hit too much traffic on your way to Adams Morgan.

Santana's POV

You look up at the clock in the kitchen and see its 5:15. You start mentally preparing yourself for the dinner crowd. La Riza Cafe has become quite a popular spot over the years since it has opened. You think about how you stumbled upon the small cafe a couple years ago, a month into your freshman year while exploring Du Pont Circle.

You saw that they were hiring and figured you'd like to have extra cash to hit the clubs and shop with. You had entered the cafe and asked the first employee you saw to speak with the manager. They went to the back and next thing you know you see a very large woman coming towards you. Once she reached you she stuck out her hand to introduced herself. "Hello. My name is Millie Rose and I owe this establishment. My employee said you were inquiring about the position." You grasp her hand and shake it while introducing yourself to her as well. "Hello Ms. Rose. My name is Santana Lopez and yes I was wondering about the available position. I'm a freshman at Georgetown and was looking for a part time job." She smiles kindly at you at how nice you are being while you are thinking to yourself, this is not normally how I act, but you play the part because you want a job. She informs you that there are two positions available and that both happen to be part time. The first is a waitress position, which makes you scrunch up your face because you are truly not a people person, and the second position is a chef. You smiled some once she said she is looking for a chef. You happen to love to cook and are really great at it. She automatically assumes that you want to apply for the waitress position because of your age, but you quickly inform her you'd rather the chef position at all possible. She looks you up and down, before saying to follow her back to her office.

Once you both enter her office she has you take a seat. She says to you that you are quite young and asks if you have a prior work experience as a chef. You informed her that you don't, but that you have grown up cooking and have learned a lot from your mother and grandmother. She looks at you very skeptically and is about to say something when you cut her off. "I know I am young and do not have any professional experience, but I am very good at what I do. I really want this job so I can be slightly independent from my parents and not have to rely on them for spending money. If I can be very blunt, you would fire me the first day if I was a waitress." She continues looking at you like she is weighing the options. Before she could come to a decision, an idea pops into your head. "I can make you a dish to prove how good I am. My specialty is Spanish dishes, but I can cook Italian and French dishes as well. Just please give me a chance to prove myself before you tell me no." Slowly she forms a smile on her face because for some reason you think she likes you. "Okay. I'll give you a chance to prove yourself. Just one chance though and we will go from there" she says. "Are you able to come back tomorrow around 9 AM?" she asks. You have a class tomorrow morning that ends at 8:50 and you know you won't be able to make it here in 10 minutes. So you ask "Can it be 9:30 please? I have an 8 o'clock class that does not end until 8:50." Once again she smiles and says "9:30 will work...see you tomorrow."

You snap out of your daydream back in time. That was nearly two years ago and you still feel so appreciative of Millie giving you that chance. You are making your way around the kitchen setting up the more popular ingredients that are used for the dinner menu.

Tina walks in with a slight smirk and says "Ready for the dinner crowd? You know it will be a lot busier now once the semester starts in three days." You shake your head at Tina and say "Hell no and thanks for the LOVELY reminder that are summer break is coming to an end." She shrugs while walking over to you and leans against one of the metal shelves. "You know this year we are going to really busy with our classes, but can you promise me that we still can make time to hang out with the group outside of the cafe" she says to you seriously.

You stop organizing your stuff and look at her. You remember back to when you two first met in your freshman year. You both had this stupid literature class together and had ended up getting paired together on a ridiculous project. You didn't even realize she was in your class because she was always so quiet and extremely shy. You guys got an A on the project and continued about your business of not really interacting. It wasn't until you saw her getting harassed at house party and for some reason decided to step in, ripping the stupid jock a new one, that you two started talking more. You had found out she didn't really have friends and got pressured by her roommate to go to the party with her as a DW (Designated Walker). After that you guys started hanging out more and it was you who told her about the waitress gig. Now she is one of your really good friends.

"Of course we will hang out with the gang. You know no matter how much work I get, that I NEEDZ to get my party on. Plus with you starting clinicals this year, so how else would I get to see my FAVORITE Asian. Yeah I would get to see you here, but it's not the same" you tell her this with a smirk on your face and bump her hip. She smiles at you and says "Thanks Santana. Well I should get back out there and check on my customers. Oh and Kurt texted me earlier saying him and Blaine will be coming here for dinner around 7." You tell her okay and she walks out the kitchen.

Great your two favorite gays are coming in, so that means you'll be making food off the special menu that Millie created just for friends and family of her employees. You go back to setting up your kitchen for dinner. You would think it'd be the same as lunch, but nope you're weird like that. You have your iTouch hooked up to the speakers you had set up in the kitchen and the next song that comes on is the late great Selena's Como La Flor. It gives you feels and fills your head up with memories of cooking with your abuela. Next thing you know you're singing along with the song.

Yo se que tienes un nuevo amor
Sin embargo, te deseo lo mejor
Si en mi no encontraste felicidad
Tal vez alguien mas te la dara

You continue onto the chorus while moving to the beat.

Como la flor (como la flor), con tanto amor (con tanto amor)
Me diste tu, se marchito
Me marcho hoy, yo se perder
Pero, Aaaayyy! Como me duele
Aaaayyy! Como me duele

Si vieras como duele perder tu amor
Con tu adios te llevas mi corazon
No se si pueda volver a amar
Porque te di todo el amor que pude dar

Tina has walked in to give you an order and just shakes her head at you. She has been privy on more than one occasion to your singing and dancing while you're working. So you simply continue what you were doing and take the order from her while sending her a wink. She laughs at you and heads back out onto the floor.

Como la flor (como la flor), con tanto amor (con tanto amor)
Me diste tu, se marchito
Me marcho hoy, yo se perder
Pero, Aaaayyy! Como me duele
Aaaayyy! Como me duele

Como la flor (como la flor), con tanto amor (con tanto amor)
Me diste tu, se marchito
Me marcho hoy, yo se perder
Pero, Aaaayyy! Como me duele
Aaaayyy! Como me duele

Once the song ends, you find yourself in a better mood. The song reminded you that you really need to call abuela this weekend and see how she is doing. You haven't talked to her in a couple of weeks and you know if you don't call soon you will be in for an earful. You look at the order that Tina gave you. You see that the customers ordered Fettuccine Alfredo with Shrimp and Lasagna.

You say out loud, because yes sometimes you do speak out loud to yourself, "Whelp let's get crackin'."

Brittany's POV

You've been at work for nearly two hours now. You got lucky earlier by not hitting much traffic, just some congestion. Mike was already at the shop when you got here. He was watching Dom give a customer a piercing, specifically a surface piercing on the back of their neck. Mike had gave me a head nod in my direction to let me know he saw me come in, before turning back to the now whimpering customer. You head over to your area to get situated. While you were doing such, Mike walked in a couple minutes later.

"How many times did you run through the routine" you ask. Mike looks over the artwork that's covering the walls even though he has seen it millions of times now and says "Seven times. By then I was able to do it in my sleep if I wanted to." You chuckle at him and finish setting up. You see he is still admiring your work and you decide to break his concentration on a particular piece by asking him "You want to add to the collection or are you still waiting?"

He looks over to you and tells you he is still waiting. "I honestly do want another, but I'm not sure of what though. I want my next one to be meaningful like the others" he says. You nod at him in agreement because all of yours mean something to you, so you know what he is talking about.

You both head back out into the main area to talk with Dom and goof off until more customers start coming in. Dom asks the two of you "Are you guys ready for the semester to start back?" You and Mike look at each other briefly then back at Dom and shrug. "It's whatever" you tell Dom. He just laughs at you while shaking his head. Dom is like a big brother to you, Mike, and even Puck. He always checks in on yall and gives great advice when needed. You head over to the stereo system and hook up your iPod to it. The guys have come to a quick understanding after the first week of you working here, that whenever you are at work, you control the music. Once you have it hooked up, you hit shuffle, and Kanye's Monster blast through the speakers. Dom and Mike give you a smirk as you start dancing your way back to them. You bump Dom's hip then make your way over to Mike. He already knows you have something up your sleeve from the smirk gracing your lips.

You go behind Mike and push your body up against his while you snake your arms around him. You start dragging your hands all over his chest and abs while Dom is full blown laughing at the scene in front of him. You hear that Nicki's part is about to come on soon, so you push off of Mike, who wasn't expecting the dancing to be cut short. They both must see the gleam in your eye because now they are just watching and waiting for you to start. As soon as you hear it's time you start.

Pull up in the monster

The guys are smiling at you because now you're putting your all into it.

You hear the dink of the door signaling a customer entering, but you keep going anyways.

pink wig thick ass give em whiplash
I think big get cash make em blink fast
now look at what you just saw I think this is what you live for
Ah, I'm a motherfucking monster!

After you finish Nicki's part you spin around to face the customer with a smirk on your face. "Hey. Welcome to Got Ink? The place where you are able to get free entertainment along with a tattoo or piercing. How can we help you" you say to the customer. The customer looks at you for a moment before laughing and shaking his head. After he finishes laughing along with Dom and Mike, he tells you he looking at getting a tattoo on his upper back.

You tell him that he can check out the displays unless he already knows exactly what he wants. He nods and hands you a picture. You tell him to head into your area while you transfer over the artwork. He turns to head into your area, but then turns back to say "Nice flow by the way." You laugh at him and say "Buttering me up won't make me drop the price down." He laughs along with you for a moment before turning to head into your area.

Dom and Mike are talking about something while you are transferring the artwork over. When you are nearly done transferring Dom tells you he buying dinner and asks what you want from the carryout. You look over at Mike because you already know he is going to go get it and tell him "Get me the usual." "Four wings & fries with Mambo & Hot Sauce over everything and a half & half right?" he asks. You nod at him and he heads out with everybody's orders.

You finish transferring over the artwork and walk over to your area. You show the guy the transfer and he smiles. You shake your head and say "You ready to do this?" The guy nods and smiles then lays down in the chair face down. "Aight cool. Now I must warn you if you cry, whimper, or complain a lot I WILL laugh and make fun of you." The guy picks his head back up to look at you after hearing you say this and laughs. He tells you he got you. So you get to it.

Santana's POV

You're in your truck heading back home from work. Its 11:30, but the roads are still littered with cars everywhere. You guess that's what happens when you live in the DMV area and it's a Friday night. You think about earlier at work when Kurt and Blaine came in for dinner. Since Millie is cool with your friends from them being at the cafe all the time, she doesn't mind them popping their head into the kitchen to talk to you briefly. Like usual Kurt popped his head in to talk to you. "Hey Pretty Boy Rainbow" you shout over the music and kitchen noises. "Hello Satan" Kurt replies back. You look up at him quickly and say "what's up" before returning your attention to the dishes you are making. He says he just wanted to let you know that he was heading home, but is stopping to get all the food for tomorrow night's movie night and wanted to know if you had any special requests. You thought about it briefly and said you wanted some Sweet Cream ice cream from Cold Stone. He laughs and says okay before waving goodbye. You wave bye and return your focus to the food. You would never admit it, but you love when your friends come here to eat when you are working. It kind of makes you feel special to know they enjoy your cooking that much.

You snap back from thinking about earlier because you need to pay attention to the construction on the roads. They are always doing road construction in this area. You can't wait to get pass this mess and home to your bed.

You finally make it home at 11:57 PM. You park in the driveway and make your way inside. Quinn is still up and on the couch reading. You know she's waiting up for you to get home. Living in this area has made her extra worrisome about you. You never say anything or make fun of her about it because you are the exact same way with her. You head over to the couch and plop down next to her.

She places the book down after marking the page she is on. She then leans over to the side table and tosses you a book. You look down and see it is With All My Soul, the book you had asked her for. You look over at her and say thanks. She nods and says "I'm tired from work and getting up earlier than I intended, so I'm heading to bed now." You tell her okay and goodnight. She grabs her book, gets up, places a kiss on your forehead, and tells you goodnight before heading upstairs.

You sit there for a moment before heading upstairs too with your book. You get to your room and strip out of your clothes to just your underwear and beater. You look at your bed and say out loud "Oh how I have missed you" before crawling under the covers and letting sleep take you over.

Brittany's POV

It's 12:45 AM and you just got home from work 10 minutes ago. Jake, Puck, and you are out back smoking Newports. Faith is lying down at Jake's feet. Mike went to sleep because he has an 8:30 AM class to teach. You guys are talking about what to do later on this evening. You shrug because you honestly don't give a damn about what yall do as long as yall do something. You start back on Monday and this is your last Saturday before the semester. You finish your Newport and tell the boys to figure out what yall were doing. You tell them goodnight and head inside with Faith trailing behind you. Even though Jake is spending the night in "his room", which is actually the spare bedroom for guests, Faith sleeps in your room. Jake understands why she stays in your room. It goes back to when we first got her and she seemed to pick you and your room as her safe haven. You didn't mind and now it's so routine it would feel weird without her there.

You get to your room and hop into bed since you are already in your beater and boy shorts. You tell Faith to close the door, which she does, then she jumps onto the bed and lays down at your feet. You two already have an agreement, in which when there are other people in your bed with you that she has to sleep on her dog bed at the foot of the bed. You see she has already closed her eyes. You do the same and as you are drifting off to sleep you think about how those Puckerman boys better come up with something damn good to do tonight.

AN2: So that was the first chapter. It is mainly showing the established friendships, living situations, jobs, and their pets. It is set in the DMV area, if there were some people who did not catch that. This Brittana story will be going at a slow pace in the beginning. I do not want to rush the girls and throw them into a relationship because that does not feel very realistic to me. Anyways, all grammar or spelling mistakes are mine.
