As for characteristics I'm trying to make Brittany seem like a very confident, outgoing, talkative, but also extremely friendly person and Santana is more like the girl who wishes she was someone else. She acts like a bitch but in all reality wants to be someone like Brittany and seeing as though its summer break in a whole new place it's the perfect opportunity to try and be what she wants to be. She's going to be shy at first but definitely come out of her shell. My favorite quote is "I believe in the person that I want to become." So that's how I want this to play out.


Today was a very drab day in Ohio. The sky was dark and it was humid. There were on and off storms so they obviously couldn't go outside. Santana was wishing that she could go back to Brittany's house. She hadn't been there since they met, mostly because of the crappy weather and because she was occupied with both the kids and couldn't bring Trent along.

This wonderful inside morning Emmi and Trent decided they wanted to do crafts. They had crayons, stickers, markers, and paint, everything they could possibly need to stay busy for a few hours. Emmi drew hearts and flowers while Trent more like scribbled lines in any which way, but it was still cute.

Santana was actually pretty good at art and things like that. She could draw people well. She also kind of liked it.

"Emmi what should I draw?" Santana asked the girl.

"A princess with a purple dress."

"Coming right up!" Santana started to draw with colored pencils. She drew the face in pretty good detail, then she drew her with a blonde curled ponytail and finished with the dress.

"It's so nice Santana!" Trent complimented.

"Thanks buddy, I like yours too."

"It's a puppy in a space ship!" He said with wide eyes.

"I can tell." Santana giggled at the little boy.

"Santana, your princess looks exactly like Brittany!" Emmi said with a big smile.

"It does?" Santana looked back at the picture and it did, a lot. She didn't even realize as she was drawing it, but she had been thinking about the girl almost every minute since they meet so maybe it's just what her brain did.

"You should give it to her as a present!" Emmi suggested.

"I don't know, she might think it's weird." Santana said knowing fifteen year olds don't normally give new acquaintances presents, let alone a picture she drew of her as a princess.

"No she won't. Brittany loves everything, why wouldn't she love something as awesome as this?"

"Ok, next time we see her I'll bring it." Santana sort of hoped Emmi would forget about it by then.

"Good, I'll draw some thing for Alyssa so we can give it to them at the same time." She wasn't going to let her forget now, great.

She began drawing a heart that she wrote her name in and then had Santana help her spell out Alyssa's name next to it. It was really adorable; Santana wished that those two would stay friends for a long time. Santana never had a friendship like that or any really good friendships at all. She always wanted someone to be that close person, but it never happened.

It was getting to be around two o'clock which was Trent's nap time. So the group started to clean up the supplies and he went to lay down in his crib.

"What can we do now?" Emmi wandered into her room and sat on the bed.

"Do you want to watch a movie on my computer?" Santana knew her laptop would come in handy.

"Yeah!" Emmi yelled with excitement.

"Shhh Emilia your brother is sleeping." Santana reminded her.

"Sorry." She frowned.

"It's ok girlie, I have the perfect movie to watch it's called 'the princess diaries'. It was my favorite movie as a kid." Santana pulled out the DVD from her case and turned on the laptop.

Emmi curled up on Santana in the bed full of stuffed animals. They watched as the movie started. Emmi seemed to enjoy it a lot, and Santana had a great blast from the past.

"Hi girls, what are you watching?" Aunt Jan stood in the door way.

"Princess Diaries, the one with Anne Hathaway and Julie Andrews." Santana explained.

"Oh, on Netflix?" Jan asked.

"Nope DVD."

"That's quite an ancient tactic." Jan joked.

"I know." Santana laughed.

"Can I ask you to pause that for a second and go do a load of laundry for me?"

"Sure, Emmi let's go."

"I don't want to do laundry, that's what the maids are for."

"You're silly, come on." Santana lifted the girl up and walked to the laundry room.

They emptied the drier, put the clothes from the washer to the drier, then loaded the washer and headed to the living room and folded the basket of towels.

Emmi was using one had and her chin.

"Why are you folding like that?" Santana asked observing the girl.

"Because this is how mommy folds." She replied with that child-like innocence. Santana realized that since the accident her aunt had needed help with that task and had tried to teach Emmi how to do it, but since she couldn't use her left arm that's how Emmi learned it. That thought made Santana sad, then grateful because she knew it really could have been worse, especially if the kids would have been hurt.

Santana then taught Emmi how to fold properly with two hands. After that they went back to her room and resumed the movie.


"That was a good movie." Emmi said at the end.

"Maybe we can watch the second one soon."

"There's a second one?! I want to watch it right now."

"Another day."

"Ok. We should invite Alyssa and Brittany to come over and watch with us. "Emmi really wanted to hang out with her friend and now that Santana was there Brittany would have an older girl to talk to.

"That sounds fun."

"We can have popcorn and maybe even Carmel corn. Have you ever had Carmel corn? Brittany made it for me a bunch of times. She is great at making food."

"I bet, she seems perfect." Santana said daydreaming about the blonde.

"Mommy! Can we invite Alyssa and Britt Britt over tomorrow?" Emmi ran into the living room to ask Jan.

"Sure sweetie, I have an even better idea. Why don't you call her mom and ask if she can sleep over."

"Brittany too?"

"Is that ok with you Santana?"

"Yeah, of course."

"Alright Emmi here's my cell phone, it's dialing."

"Hi Mrs. Pierce, this is Emmi wondering if Alyssa and Brittany want to sleep over at my house tomorrow."

Emmi started shaking her head up and down signaling a yes from Mrs. Pierce.

"Thank you very much. Bye bye!"

Emmi said being sure to use polite words.

"That's great; can you go clean your room so they will have a place to put their sleeping bags?"

"Yes!" Emmi practically skipped down the hallway into her room. She threw all the stuff on the floor into her big pink bin. If only cleaning your room was always that easy, Santana thought.

"Are you excited Sanny?! Look at my sleeping bag. It's blue with Cinderella on it."

"That's cool. I don't have one, well I do it's just at my house."

"You can just sleep in my bed! We're in here after all."

"Good idea. Maybe we should go make some dinner now. What would you like?"

"Eggs and toast."

"Breakfast for dinner it is!" Santana smiled picking up the younger girl and heading for the kitchen.

"Yay!"


"I see them walking down the street right now!" Emmi yelled as she watched from the window.

She ran to the door and opened it. Alyssa tried to hug her but she had her sleeping bag and clothing bag in the way. Brittany just had a green American eagle bag.

"Where's your sleeping bag Britt?" Emmi asked.

"Oh, I'm actually too tall for it now. I haven't gotten around to buying a new one." The girl explained.

"Well my cousin is already sleeping in my bed so I guess you have to sleep on the floor." Emmi said trying to plan the sleeping arrangements.

"Okay, I'm fine with that."

"Wait! She can share the bed with me if she wants. It's really no big deal." Santana would feel bad if she had to sleep on the hard floor. She also wanted to be close to her, she hoped that wasn't creepy considering she barely knows her.

She just seemed to be drawn to Brittany.

"That's way better than the floor. Thanks Santana." She smiled at her.

"You remembered my name this time." Santana smiled back.

"Of course I did! Sorry about that."

Brittany found that sort of thing happening to her often, forgetting stuff. Probably because she thinks about so many different things at once.

"I forgive you. I have a pretty uncommon name I guess." Santana shrugged.

"I love your name. Just think like this, I'm never going to meet another Santana Lopez again so I'll remember you. It also helps that you're like really adorable." She giggled and turned to her bag.

Brittany made Santana feel special. That sounds kind of lame but that right there is something no one from her school would say. She couldn't help but start to like this girl.

"Thanks." Santana blushed. Why was she being so shy? She normally owned it, and I guess the back home Santana would be flirting back, she didn't really know since she didn't like guys and no girls ever flirted with her. This might just be how Brittany is with everybody, Santana hoped that wasn't the case.

"Movie Time!" Alyssa and Emmi squealed snapping Santana out of her trance.

Santana took the princess diaries 2 DVD out of her case. She figured that it was that kind of movie where you didn't have to watch the first one to understand the second one. Which was true. She put it in the DVD player and the pre-movie ads started.

"Guess what I brought for us to eat during the movie!" Brittany smiled getting something out of her bag. "Alyssa don't guess, you already know."

"Carmel popcorn!" Emmi hopefully guessed.

"Nope, sorry sweetie. I would've made that had you asked though. Another time promise."

"Is it brownies?" Santana asked playing along.

"No. Give up yet?" Brittany fake yawned.

"Fruity rainbow pebbles treats!" Santana said a little too enthusiastically.

"How'd you guess?"

"I saw a glance and it had lots of colors."

"Cheater!" Emmi pouted, but easily moved on a second later.

"Guys, the movie's starting."

"I want to sit on Santana's lap." Alyssa said crawling over to the Latina.

"What if I wanted to sit on Santana's lap?" Brittany joked.

"Maybe next time." Santana said with a wink. Now there's the regular flirty Santana.

"I just might." Brittany smirked.

Then the movie started and the girls became silent. The younger two watching with such curiosity, and Santana glanced at Brittany she had her eyes glued to the screen with a look of sheer enchantment on her face. This girl seemed like a lot more than just a great personality, Santana was intrigued and wanted to know more.


After the movie ended they gathered their pillows and blankets and went into Emmi's room. Emmi and Alyssa were laying out her sleeping bag, while Santana and Brittany sat on the bed.

"So what do you girls want to do now?"

"Sleep." Santana said curled up on the bed.

"It's only eight o'clock." Emmi said looking at her hello kitty watch.

"Maybe I have jet leg."

"You live half an hour away and have been here for four days." Brittany laughed.

"Details, details."

"Oh Brittany and Alyssa. We have presents for you! I almost forgot. We drew them yesterday." Emilia ran into the kitchen and grabbed the pictures off the desk.

She handed them to the pierce girls with a huge smile.

"Santana made yours Britt Britt." Emmi said not wanting to take credit.

"This is amazing! How long did it take?" Brittany loved it. She also didn't seem creeped out.

"About an hour. At first I didn't even realize it was you, but I guess it just happened."

"It was fate." The blonde smiled at her.

"Defiantly." Santana looked back at her.

Alyssa then received hers. It was the heart with their names.

"It's perfect Em, I'm going to keep it forever!" She hugged her.

"Thanks. I love you."

"I love you too."

That was so adorable even Santana started to tear up a little... Just a little.

"Ok now bedtime." Santana threw the stuffed animals off the bed to make room so she wouldn't be on top of Brittany, although she wouldn't really mind being on top of Brittany. Wanky;)

"Tell us a story."

"Who?"

"Both of you."

"I'll start, once upon a time there was a princess named Lilah. She was blonde with curly hair and gorgeous blue eyes." Santana began the story.

"Well this princess was being forced by her parents to marry this prince, prince ugly. He was not at all the type of person she would want to date, especially not want to marry." Brittany scrunched her nose whenever she said prince ugly, the younger kids laughed.

"So the princess ran away to the country side to hide from her parents and prince ugly. She was walking down a path one day and saw a girl picking strawberries." Santana didn't think she knew where to go with this story but hoped Brittany could come up with something.

"The girl smiled at her and instantly the princess was happy. It was like a magic spell was cast on her, but in all reality it was something stronger."

"True love!" Alyssa shouted out.

"Exactly!" Brittany agreed. Britt had always tried to teach Alyssa that it was ok to be yourself and she'd love her no matter what. She thought if you tell them that from a young age they'll have an easier time being themselves or be more considerate to others.

Santana at this point was over the moon. The girl she liked is telling a story about lesbian princesses. It was the sweetest thing.

"So she walked up to the girl and introduced herself, she found out her name was Victoria. Victoria brought her to her little cottage in the middle of the forest. They talked and laughed and had the best time ever."

"Then the two became very close. They both liked each other but were afraid to say it because they were scared they might get in trouble. You see, where they lived when two girls liked each other they got sent to the dungeon which was a very scary place." The kids gasped.

"One day the king, who was Lilah's dad, got very sick and couldn't be king anymore. Since Lilah was next to be Queen she was supposed to go back to the palace and marry prince ugly. She could never do that because she loved Victoria and didn't want to leave her."

"So what she did was she brought Victoria with her and went to the palace. Lilah stood on the front steps of the castle and the whole town gathered to celebrate the princesses' return. She told them she was ready to become Queen. They cheered and clapped. She then said she refused to marry prince ugly. She told them she had someone else she wanted to marry, Victoria. So she got down on one knee and proposed in front of the whole town. Now that she was in charge she banned the rules about who you're allowed to marry. And they lived happily ever after. The end."

"That was a nice story." Emilia and Alyssa were almost asleep.

"What'd you think?" Brittany looked at Santana hoping she liked it too.

"I loved it. Please go work for Disney and convince someone to make that a movie."

"That would be like the best job ever. You could draw it!" Brittany's eyes looked into Santana's and she felt tingles all through her body.

"I wish."


"So I guess we should go to sleep now." Brittany said looking at the bed.

"Ok I'll go change." Santana grabbed her pajama shorts and a tank top and went into the bathroom.

Brittany got her things and decided to change in Emmi's room since the girls were asleep anyway.

Santana finished getting dressed and took her contacts out and put on her glasses. She went back to the room and saw Britt getting ready. She was so hot. Santana knew you should like someone for their personality but still it helped. She waited until Brittany was dressed to enter back into the room.

"Aw, you look really cute in your glasses Santana." Brittany complimented.

"I don't really like them but thanks. What side of the bed do you want?" Santana thought her glasses make her look like an elderly grandma.

"It doesn't matter to me, it's a twin sized bed so we'll be pretty close anyway."

"Yeah that's true. I hope you are ok with it since we barely know each other and all."

"Truthfully I feel like I've known you for years. Is that weird?" Brittany looked at her hands to avoid eye contact with the Latina.

"I feel the same, but I don't know all your favorite things, likes, dislikes, quirks, that sort of thing."

They climbed into bed, it wasn't too squished that they had to touch, but they were still not even a hand distance between them. It was dark and the only light was a small stream from the window that just outlined Brittany's face.

"Let's play the question game! Ask me anything. Then I'll ask you and we rotate."

"Favorite color?" Santana asked the very overused first question.

"Yellow. Favorite animal?" Britt smiled thinking about the color yellow.

"I like puppies, bunnies, and flamingos. Hmm favorite fruit?" Santana was hoping the questions would get better, like favorite fruit seriously what are we making a smoothie of friendship?

"Bananas. What's your best friend's name?"

"Rachel, she's kind of like a sister to me in the fact that I find her super annoying and probably wouldn't choose to be best friends with her. How about you?" Santana smiled knowing Rachel would probably be very glad to hear that, even though it was kind of insulting.

"Mike, he lives on the next street over. He's a super cool guy and is really good at dancing. You'll have to meet him sometime." Brittany said.

"Sounds like fun. Were you a shy or outgoing kid?" Santana knew how these question games started simple but then turned into real conversations, which was just what they needed.

"It was actually my turn, but I guess I was more of a weird child. I was always friends with boys, played in the dirt, annoyed the hell out of people, believed in unicorns. I mean I kind of still do like there's no definite answer to that. People say they are not real just because they've never seen one, in that case a bunch of things wouldn't be real."

"Wow that makes sense. You're really smart Britt." Santana had never thought about believing in unicorns as being so easy.

"You think so? I mean I'm not good in school at all and everyone thinks I'm stupid."

"Guess what, school stuff doesn't matter in real life. I think you're a genius." Santana hated school and logically you only ever need less than a fourth of shit you learn for your job.

"Can I ask you a personal question?" Brittany asked.

"Well it is your turn, but since you just asked the question 'can I ask you a question' I don't know if I should let you." Santana smirked but since the lights were off Brittany didn't see. "Just kidding. Ask me anything you want."

"What's your dream? Like the thing you want most from your life."

"That's hard. I don't really know. I just want to be happy." Santana sighed.

"You aren't happy now?"

"Not really. I don't have a reason to be." She knew that wasn't entirely true but she felt like feeling sorry for herself in the moment.

"That's a horrible way to look at it. You have Emilia, she looks up to you and wishes she could be like you. Alyssa makes me happy; she is like a little ball of sunshine."

"Of course she makes me happy, maybe I'm just a negative person." Santana sighed.

"You don't have to be. Happiness is a choice." Brittany didn't know exactly how to teach someone to be happy.

"I guess I'll work on that. What's your dream?" Santana asked.

"To dance on tour. Also to have a baby, I love babies."

"I want a baby too, but I don't want to get married." Santana didn't think that would happen.

"Why not?"

"I don't think I could ever find anyone I got along with well enough to commit to like that."

"What's your dream husband like?" Brittany asked still wondering why Santana wouldn't want to be married.

"Wife actually. She would be funny, easygoing, kindhearted, great with kids, and hopefully good at cooking because I almost burned down the house trying to make toast and eggs yesterday."

"Awe Santana."

"How about your dream husband."

"I actually have this saying that practically describes how I feel. It's not about who you are attracted to ultimately, it's about who you fall in love with."

"That's sweet. So traits of your dream spouse."

"They would be spontaneous, creative, talkative, patient and fun."

"We are going to have a hard time finding partners." Both girls laughed.

"I would ask another question, but I'm getting tired."

"Me too. Goodnight Britt. I'm really glad I met you, I hope we can become great friends."

"I know we will, you're very convincing, I mean we're already in bed together."

"So funny. Goodnight."

"Night."
