Chapter 2

The Cheerios piled onto the bus, with Miss Pilsbury ticking off the register, Brittany was running late, of course and jogged across to the back of the queue still putting her high pony in. She just couldn't get rid of the grin plastered to her face; in like five hours she would be able to see her baby again.
"So little B aren't you even gonna give your surrogate momma a hug?!" The question came from the sunglasses clad blonde leaning against the bus door.
"Miss Holiday!" Brittany gave a squeal and practically jumped on the woman.
"Please honey; surely you can call me Holly by now. Ahh I've missed my girls, how long is this bus ride gonna be?" asked the older women, squeezing her younger counterpart.
"Wait you're coming with us? That's amazing, are you Sue's replacement? Oh you'll get to see Tana again too!" Another tight hug and a squeal for the substitute. A sharp cough came from inside the bus,
"Excuse me miss Holliday, but is that really appropriate, I think you're supposed to be on the bus, we're supposed to leave at seven thirty am, it is now seven twenty-nine please can you both register and take a seat."
"Oh Miss P how efficient of you, come on little B, five hours honey!" said Holly with her usual sunny disposition breezing past the shorter woman onto the bus.

Brittany spent the journey with the older blonde, discussing everything, from her application, to Holly's latest man friend. Gaining both of them disapproving looks and comments from Miss Pilsbury.
"Are you sure that's appropriate conversation to be having with a student?" then
"I don't think a young girl really needs to hear about such relations" followed by;
"Don't you think you should graduate high school" and;
"you shouldn't be encouraging high school drop outs" After 30 minutes of the journey the pair relocated to the rear of the bus.
"Honey, you know that she's right, as a teacher I really shouldn't encourage you to drop out, but I know you're going to be a shining star, I'll talk to your mom when we get back, you'll know then if you've got in and you can start planning everything properly." said the older blonde rubbing her hand down her former student's forearm.
"Thank you Holly, sometimes I think you know me nearly as well as Santana." grinned Brittany, enjoying having her favourite adult back by her side.
"Kindred spirits B, you and Tana are my soul babies, in another life I'd be your real momma."

By the time the bus pulled up, all the girls were dozing after having to wake up and head off at such an unsociable hour. As the doors opened it took a shake from Holly for Brittany to realise they'd arrived.
"Looks like you've got a welcoming party B" said Holly softly pointing out of the window at a figure who was being obscured by the raindrops running down the bus window and the downpour beyond the glass. Seeing the figure waiting out there, waiting for her, was like a shot of caffeine; Brittany was up and running down the isle of the bus,
"Outta my way! Let me off!" Her fellow Cheerios scattered as she made her way down the vehicle and leapt off out into the rain, dashing towards the soaked silhouette.

As she reached Santana the caramel skinned girl threw her arms around her neck and dragged the taller girl down to her tiptoed height. As soon as their lips touched everything was magically okay, Brittany forgot about all of her worries, nothing else mattered, her world was the right way around again. She moaned an objection as Santana pulled away from the kiss,
"I know babe but wait, just let me see you, I need to see your face for a second." Sparkling sapphire met the rich chocolate orbs,
"God I've missed you" mumbled Brittany as she leant into the hand that was softly framing her face.
"Britt-Britt, you have to ace that audition, I can't function without you." whispered the brunette bringing their foreheads together.
"I know, it's been torture, but we're together now, and soaked through, I need to grab my stuff and find out where I'm supposed to be sleeping. Oh and you'll never guess who's here San."

After everyone was off the bus and dorm arrangements were sorted, Miss Pilsbury called all the girls together to sort dinner arrangements. "Now we can either all eat together, or we can split into two groups..." After 20minutes of arguing it was decided that each teacher would take 10 students, one to get Chinese, one to get Indian, then they would explore the city
"Miss I'm really not all that hungry, in fact I feel a little ill. I might just get an early night before tomorrow" said Brittany, looking up sheepishly at Miss Holiday, who leaned in towards the younger blonde,
"Hungry for something else, hey" she whispered to the girl with a wink and a nudge, "Okay then, we'll be back by 11.30, I hope you feel better!" Louder this time, just to be sure that Miss P knew she'd allowed it, it's not like she could make a fuss about it in front of all the students.

Santana had been waiting with Brittany all that time their intertwined fingers never being separated. She'd missed the simple touch of her girl, the sweet scent that was hers and hers alone, the way she smiled every time their eyes met. When the others had left she wrapped her arms around her girlfriend's waist and pulled her closer in, "I've got a surprise for you back at my place baby, come on, we've only got what, nine hours? Before you need to be back here for a Miss Pilsbury head count" she said, softly into the blonde's ear, then kissing the pulse in Brittany's neck.
"Mmm nine hours." she muttered as Santana slowly moved her lips up her neck and along her jaw line, a low moan escaping Brittany's lips, "Are you sure we have to go to your place?" she whispered, knowing that the room she had for the weekend was only yards away with a lock on the door.
"I'm distracting you aren't I" joked Santana as she stepped away a little, "c'mon you won't regret it I promise baby, plus you'd hate me if you missed seeing Sammy, come on beautiful" she said practically pulling Brittany along
"I suppose you're right, I mean I have missed that trouty pout of his." mused the blonde skipping forward to fall into step with her girlfriend.
