Hello all, I know that I am normally someone who sticks to writing Brittana but I really liked the chemistry between Santana and Dani on Glee and I love Demi Lovato so I decided what the hell, and wrote a Dantana fic. I will always be a Brittana shipper, but for the time being I am also shipping Dantana because I think they're adorable, I really did not want to like Dani, but I do lol. So I hope that you guys enjoy this story, please review and let me know your thoughts and if you'd like me to continue or not! Thanks guys!

Also, just as a warning to you if you haven't read any of my stories before; while this may start out as a fic that is kind of fluffy and just about the relationship between them there will be drama, I love to write dramatic situations. Fair Warning!

Please review and enjoy!


Santana was sitting in Kurt, her longtime friend and manager's, office spacing out as he was talking. He was talking about this appointment and that appointment, this phone call and that one and she was supposed to be listening but she had caught sight of someone outside the office and that person had captured her attention. The famous singer Danielle Lawson was sitting on the couch in the small waiting area of Kurt's office, Santana thought she was incredibly talented and beautiful, and best of all she played for Santana's team.

"San, earth to Santana! Are you even listening to me?" Kurt asked slightly annoyed.

"What sorry?" she said turning her attention back to him and he sighed before beginning whatever he was saying again.

"They want you on the Ellen Degeneres show to promote New Directions!" Kurt said and through Kurt's slightly annoyed voice she could hear his excitement.

She thought that the source of his excitement was one of two things, or maybe both. She had just finished filming a movie, with Rachel, about their high school Glee Club. Mr. Schuester had taken the three years it had taken them to win Nationals and put all the drama of the competitions and the kids themselves and turned it into a New York Times number one bestselling book. The book had then been adapted into a film which was directed by Artie and starring Santana and Rachel, who were both now really well known, as the characters that Mr. Schue had based on them. The movie is highly anticipated and has characters based on Rachel, Santana, Kurt, Finn, Quinn, Puck, Brittany, Mike, Tina, Artie, Mercedes and Sam. All of the people who had characters based on them in the film recorded the vocals for the actors in the film, except Finn, Blaine supplied his vocals since he had passed away 7 years ago. No one knew that the characters Santana and Rachel are playing in the movie are based on themselves that is something that they haven't revealed yet. The film is set to premiere in September and Kurt was extremely excited about it.

Another reason that Kurt could be excited would be the deal that he and Santana had made seven years ago regarding Ellen Degeneres. Seven years ago Santana had taken Kurt on as her Agent/Manager after she booked a commercial and ended up getting paid in yeast infection medication. Kurt and Santana had thought it was best for her career if she didn't address her sexuality, and for the first five years that hadn't been an issue since she was just doing small roles here and there, but she had gotten her big break two years ago as Callie's cousin, Dr. Samantha Torres on Grey's Anatomy. After that her career had really taken off, she had been nominated for an Emmy in each of the two seasons she had been on the show, though she hadn't won either, then it had ended. She had also had small recurring roles on a couple of other shows and now she had just finished her first movie and she had also put out a duet with Mercedes that music critics had loved, including Simon Cowell. So now since she had been thrust into the spotlight more and more questions were arising about her sexuality, which is where the deal Kurt and Santana made seven years ago comes in. They had made a deal that if Santana was ever big enough that she got an interview with Ellen Degeneres then she would come out of the closet in the interview.

Now as Santana was sitting in Kurt's office thinking about the possibility she felt a little sick to her stomach. She knew that with this movie coming out that she would have to do this eventually because the movie had a part that was about her coming out in high school and the campaign ad and everything but now that the actual opportunity was here she didn't know if she could do it. It wasn't that she was ashamed or anything she was just aware of the impact something like this could have on her career but as she thought about this she stared out the door and saw Danielle Lawson again. She had come out of the closet in her first interview after gaining fame and five years later she was still one of the biggest names in music, she was even a judge on the X-Factor (the only one who gave Simon back what he dished out, and they were somehow great friends). She had been 22 when she had done this and here she was at age 27 still famous and selling out her concerts.

"Really?" Santana asked, still almost hoping that Kurt was kidding.

"Really! Next season's premiere!" he squealed in his excited high pitched Kurt voice.

"Wow when is that?"

"In about three-four months." He answered but before Santana could reply his office phone rang. "Yes, I'm just finishing up with San; will you ask her if she's okay with doing this over lunch? Thanks Tina!"

"Was that about Danielle Lawson?" Santana asked excitedly though Kurt ignored her with an eye roll.

"So Ellen, yes or no?" Kurt asked directly and after a moment he added. "You promised!"

"Ya, seven years ago when I was doing yeast infection commercials!"

"I think it's time, things are better now than they used to be, hello Danielle Lawson sitting right outside the door is proof, Ellen is proof!"

"Fine, Kurt, fine!" she conceded.

"Yay!"

"Now, when did you start working for Danielle Lawson and why the hell didn't you tell me?" Santana asked angrily, Kurt knew how she felt about the singer.

"About a month or so ago, I've become more popular since my three clients are incredibly successful." He said with a smile, his three clients were Santana, Rachel (who was a Tony award winning actress now) and Mercedes (who was nominated for a Grammy on her debut album). "You guys are good for business."

"Oh so that's what you put up with us for, I thought it was the fact that we've known each other forever, silly me." Santana smirked

"You know it Satan!" Kurt replied. "So I think you should come to lunch, I'm sure Danielle Lawson (he said mocking the way Santana said her name) won't mind."

"No, Kurt, don't you dare." She said fiercely but he was already picking up the phone.

"Tina could you send Ms. Lawson in, yes thank you." He said with a smug smile.

All Santana could do was shoot a glare in Kurt's direction before Danielle Lawson walked in the room and immediately hugged Kurt.

"Hey Kurt!" she said happily.

"Dani my darling how are you?" he responded kissing her cheek.

"Starving actually, I was very excited to hear that you wanted to do this over lunch because I was thinking of suggesting it myself." She said with a laugh as Santana sat noiselessly star struck on the couch.

"Do you mind if Santana here joins us, I didn't get a chance to ask her your question?" Kurt said and Santana could tell he was up to something by the mischievous look in his eyes.

"Oh my god! I didn't even see you over there, I am so sorry. I'm Danielle Lawson." She said sticking out her hand as Santana got to her feet.

"Santana Lopez," she replied taking her hand and gasping slightly as she swore Danielle had just shocked her. "Your music is wonderful, Skyscraper is phenomenal, and I wouldn't want to intrude on your meeting Danielle." She replied somehow keeping her voice even and not going completely crazy at the fact that her biggest celebrity crush was talking to her.

"You would not be intruding; I have actually been trying to get in touch with you. You have an incredible voice; I heard your duet with Mercedes Jones and was blown away how did she find you?" Danielle asked and Santana was still stuck on the fact that she wanted to get in touch with her for some reason.

"We were in Glee club together in High School." Santana replied. "And Kurt here too of course, who is also Mercedes' manager so it was kind of something she and I have always wanted to do."

"Well I am very glad that you did because I always thought you were a great actress, you were totally robbed at the Emmys by the way, but I never knew that you were such a great singer."

"Well I've always loved singing but acting was my break so I focused more on that, but thank you Danielle, hearing that from you is amazing." Santana said, the two women had seemingly forgotten that Kurt was even in the room.

"Oh well I'm just speaking the truth, but you should definitely come to lunch and please call me Dani." She smiled. Dani was kind of confused, she always thought that Santana was pretty and seemed really cool but she also always thought that the actress was straight and now she was seemingly flirting with her.

"Okay then Dani." Santana said throwing her a wink as she regained some of her confidence.

"I'll drive." Kurt said as if to remind the other two that he was still there and had been the entire time.

"Awesome, where to?" Dani asked as she and Santana followed Kurt out of his office.

"You'll see, see you in an hour Tina, I'll bring you back something!" Kurt answered.

"I'll see you and Mike later when you drop off Matt, tell him Auntie Tana is making his favorite." She said hugging Tina and kissing her cheek.

"I will, he loves when we have date night because he gets to stay with you."

"Well I adore him so you can have as many date nights as you want!" Santana answered and Tina just laughed.

"Bye San, I'll see you later. Goodbye Ms. Lawson, have a good day." Tina responded.

"By Tina!" Dani said happily then turned to Santana and said. "Auntie Tana?"

"She was also in Glee Club with us in high school and I am her sons Aunt!" Santana defended and Dani and Kurt giggled. "Oh you shut up Uncle Kurtie!"

Dani doubled over in laughter as Kurt shot Santana a death glare. They walked in a comfortable silence to Kurt's BMW and got in the car. They laughed as one of Dani's songs came on the radio and was promptly followed by Mercedes and Santana's duet. They chattered about random things on the way to the restaurant so that when they actually arrived at the restaurant they felt like no time had passed at all.

"So, how many people were in this high school Glee Club with you guys?" Dani asked as they finished ordering their food.

"Well there were a lot of people who floated in and out but there is a core group of us, about 13 I think." Kurt answered.

"Any other big names that I'd know?" she asked curiously.

"Well me, Santana, Mercedes Jones, and a few others you may know."

"Are you going to tell me?"

"Well the movie that Santana just finished is kind of about our glee club and I don't want to give it away!" Kurt said.

"I'll tell you Dani!" Santana answered rolling her eyes at Kurt.

"Thank you Santana."

"Okay so you've got me, Kurt, Mercedes, Tina. So Tina's husband is Mike Chang, you may know him from-"

"Dancing with the Stars!" she said excitedly.

"Ha, ya he's one of the pros, also Brittany Pierce who is on the show was with us as well." Santana said, her voice hardening slightly, but only Kurt would notice it.

"Damn you guys must have had the dancing down!"

"Ya, they did a crazy routine together as I sang Valerie in one of our sectionals. But anyway you probably also know Will Schuester, the author of the book New Directions well he was our director."

"Wow that is awesome!"

"Oh and I forgot one more, she's like my sister, she Kurt and I lived together for three years in New York before I got my big break and moved out here, she and I co-own an apartment there and a house here." Santana said.

"Who is it?" Dani asked honestly curious.

"The one and only Ms. Rachel Berry." Santana answered with a smirk as Dani's jaw dropped because just as predicted Rachel had become the biggest star of them all, starring as Fanny Brice for two years on Broadway and winning a Tony both years and then starring in various movies and other musicals, she also was working on releasing an original album.

"Wow that is one hell of a glee club." Dani said.

"Ya but we weren't always the best, but that is a story for another time and of course you can catch the big screen adaptation starring myself and Rachel directed by another of our friends, Artie Abrams."

"Hopefully this will be Artie's big break," Kurt said. "We still see everyone regularly, every Christmas, we always have dinner with Mr. Schuester the day before Christmas Eve, and we also go back every year in September for a memorial for one of our good friends who was killed in Iraq."

"Wow, I don't talk to anyone I know from high school." She said.

"Yes well we had a lot of experiences that bonded us together. Now, why don't we ask Santana about your idea Dani?"

"Yes, I had almost forgotten about that." Dani said with a small laugh that both Kurt and Santana thought was a nervous laugh.

"Well Dani came to me with the idea and I think it is a great idea. She has one last song on her album to do and she was hoping that you would be willing to do it as a duet with her." Kurt said and Santana looked between the two as if they were going to start laughing because this was a joke.

"Me? Why on earth would you want to do a song with me, not that I am not honored but aren't there a million other people out there with better voices than me?" Santana asked uncertainly.

"That's what I told her," Kurt said but Dani shot him a look. "I'm kidding, seriously San you have a beautiful voice, critics loved your duet with Mercedes."

"Even Simon Cowell told me that he thought your voice was incredible and you had a voice that he would love to hear more of, he was one of the people that gave me the idea to ask you to sing with me." Dani said and Santana gave herself a moment to let that sink in. "I think that you and I would sound really good together."

"Just go with her to check the song out after lunch." Kurt suggested, though Santana suspected he was hoping for more than just a duet between his two clients.

"Ya, I have everything back at my house, you can come with me when we finish lunch." She said and Santana's heart sped up at the idea of going to her house.

"Ya sure." She answered after thinking it over for a moment.

"Great! I'll drive you two back and then you can follow Dani back to her place San." Kurt said sounding more excited than anyone.

"Sounds good to me, is that okay with you Ms. Lopez?"

"Yes," Santana answered with a laugh.

"Good, now that that is settled may I speak with you about some business things Danielle?"

"Ya, is that okay with you Santana?"

"Of course, this is your meeting that I'm crashing here."

"Thanks Tana, now Dani, since your album is almost ready and will be released in a few months it is time to start lining up some TV appearances and pick a single to release. I was thinking that we should lead with Heart Attack." Kurt said.

"I was thinking that would be the best to go with first also." She answered with a smile.

"Great now, we have the TV appearances with GMA, Leno and Fallon but I got a call for one more today and I know that it would be a lot but I have a feeling you aren't going to want to say no to this one as it is your favorite…"

"No way!?" she said excitedly.

"Yes ma'am, Ellen Degeneres wants you on her next season premiere!" Kurt said and Santana's eyes snapped up from her phone where she was sending out a tweet about lunch. "Incidentally Santana is also making an appearance on Ellen that episode as well, so I was thinking if you two decide to do the duet that could be your performance!"

"That's such a great idea, Santana now you have to the duet."

"I'll have to have a look at the song and see how well we work together first." Santana said and added a not so subtle wink and flirty tone to her voice which both of her companions picked up on.

"Well I guess it's a good thing that you're coming over to my house then isn't it?" Dani said in a similar tone. Kurt smiled to himself since neither of the girls were paying any attention to him. xxxx

Kurt walked Dani to her car and left her with a hug and kiss on the cheek before leading Santana to her Range Rover which was a few spots away. He hugged her and kissed her cheek as well but as she got in the car he talked to her through the window.

"It's time for you to move on Santana, it's been almost six years now Hun, she's moved on and told you that you should do the same. You act like you are fine and are her best friend but it hurts you every time you hang out with her, I see it, Rachel sees it we all see it. It's more than time for you to have another relationship, someone who will be good for you. Dani would be really good for you, I love you Santana and hate to see you like this. I know you are much better but it still hurts you I saw that when you were talking about her earlier, the only way to make it hurt less it to move on." He said honestly.

"Kurt, thank you." Was all she said and gave him a smile before starting her car. "Love you too Kurtie!" she yelled out the window before following Dani out of the parking lot.

Santana pulled into the driveway of Dani's massive house and was very impressed, it was a gorgeous house. She parked her Range Rover next to Dani's Porsche and saw that Dani was standing by the front door waiting for her. Santana sat in her car for another moment pretending to be messing with her purse but in actuality she was trying to calm her heart down which was now beating ten thousand beats a second. She took a large deep calming breath before stepping out of the car and walking confidently, as confidently as she could, towards the shorter girl.

"Your house is beautiful." Santana stated as she followed Dani through the front door.

"Thanks, I'll give you the tour." Dani said grabbing Santana's hand and leading her around the house pointing out various things along the way to what Santana assumed was their final destination. "That's my bedroom, but we are going in here." She said with a wink and led Santana into what looked like her own music studio, there were microphones, guitars, mixing equipment, a keyboard, a desk, and even a couch with a little fridge next to it and a coffee table. Santana was impressed and while she was standing there looking at the room she realized for the first time that Dani was still holding her hand.

"I'd love to have a room like this in my house," Santana commented reluctantly removing her hand from Dani's and taking a seat on the couch.

"It's definitely one of my favorite rooms in the house." She smiled as she sat down next to Santana on the couch. "So are you a singer for real or are you just an actress who just happens to have an incredible voice?"

"I have always loved to sing, and picked up acting in high school when we would do the musicals every year." Santana answered with a smile as she remembered the plays.

"Which musicals were you in? Who did you play?" Dani asked sounding genuinely curious.

"Well the first one we tried to do was the Rocky Horror Picture Show, and you can imagine that didn't get approved. So then I played Anita in West Side Story and then Rizzo in Grease which was probably my favorite."

"I'm sure you made a great Rizzo, but I think I'd like to see you as Anita, West Side Story is my favorite musical and she was my favorite in it." Dani responded.

"Ya well my version of 'There Are Worse Things I Could Do' could rival that of Stockard Channing's."

"So is it true that your new movie is really about you and your friends in high school?" Dani asked.

"Yes, and it reveals quite a bit about all of us." She said with a slightly faraway look in her eyes.

"Really? I look forward to seeing it then, am I going to get to go to the red carpet premiere?" Dani asked flirtatiously.

"I guess that depends…" Santana replied with a wink.

"Santana can I ask you something?" Dani said, she just had to know.

"Of course you can Dani." Santana smirked, she knew exactly was going to ask her.

"Are you gay?" she whispered because of the intensity of Santana's eyes staring at her in that moment.

"Yes, yes I am." Santana whispered back and she leaned in toward Dani, and just as their lips were about to touch Santana pulled back abruptly and said, "So what about this song?"

"Jesus." Dani said letting out a long breath. "Ya, it's called Neon Lights and it's one of my favorites from this album but I wanted to do it as a duet."

Dani stood up and walked over to the desk on the other side of the room and grabbed a few pieces of sheet music and handed them to Santana. Santana took them and began to read through the lyrics and a few moments later she began to hum the music which Dani found impressive because she had no idea the girl could read music. About half way through the song Santana began to sing it, never taking her eyes of the papers but she had Dani completely captivated by her voice.

"I actually like this song a lot." Santana smiled as she finished it.

"You were incredible, and that was singing live, wow." Dani replied incredibly impressed.

"Thank you," Santana said blushing slightly.

"So, what do you say? Will you sing the song with me?" Dani asked hopefully.

"On one condition." Santana replied taking a step closer to Dani.

"You would get half the profits from the song." Dani replied gulping as Santana took another step toward her, they were incredibly close now.

"No not that, well ya that's nice, but I was going to say, if you want me to do this song with you then you have to go on a date with me." Santana replied smirking as she took a final step forward so that you could only fit a magazine in between them now.

"Oh, well I think I can manage that, if I have to." She replied cheekily.

"Lovely, give me your phone and put your number in mine and I will text you my address. I will make dinner for you, does Friday work?" Santana asked wondering where all of her confidence had come from, she hadn't felt like this in a long time.

"Yes Friday works just fine, what time?"

"Eight o'clock! Here you go querida." Santana said handing Dani her phone back.

"You speak Spanish?" Dani said excitedly.

"Si querida, me llamo es muy Latina, tal vez yo hablo espanol." She said and smirked when she saw the look on Dani's face.

"That was so sexy." Dani whispered suddenly realizing that they were still in very close proximity.

"Yo se," Santana winked. "Well I should probably go."

"You don't have to," Dani said quickly.

"I really do, I am on babysitting duty tonight, its date night for Mike and Tina which means I get to spend some quality time with Matthew, but who knows maybe I'll text you or something." She winked.

"I'll walk you out."

"Thanks, I am really excited to work on this song with you, and of course for Friday." She smirked, Dani noticed that she had been doing that a lot but couldn't get enough of it.

"Me too, have fun babysitting." Dani replied.

"See you Friday." Santana said and leaned in and this time didn't pull away. The two kissed until they absolutely had to pull away for air. "Wow, now I'm really excited for Friday."

"Holy hell." Dani said to herself as she watched Santana drive away.

She pulled out her cellphone as she walked back into her living room, her mind still reeling from the kiss. She called Kurt and he answered on the third ring.

"Kurt!" she said as he said hello.

"Dani!" he replied with much enthusiasm.

"You did not tell me that Santana Lopez was gay!" Dani practically yelled.

"You never asked me." Kurt said playing innocent, he knew that Dani had a crush on the Latina.

"Well she is and her voice is incredible and she's beautiful and I can't wait to do the song with her and oh my god she asked me out." Dani rambled causing Kurt to laugh.

"Well I'm happy for the both of you." Kurt answered.

"I can't believe that she's been able to hide it for all these years." Dani said sounding astonished, she herself had come out within months of reaching fame.

"She never actually denied it."

"True, well I have to go Kurt, you are the best!"

"Ya, I know." He replied and hung up with a smirk on his face because he had just gotten the same type of phone call from Santana.
