So, I've decided to continue with this. Especially after the good fortune of the Quinntana coupling in the last episode Thank you Glee!
Santana had decided to tag along with Rachel on her visit back to McKinley. Now that she had her priorities straight-no pun intended- because of Brittany, she felt it was no longer a temptation to be a big fish in a little pond. Still, some habits are hard to break-such as Rachel's insistence on musicals week, and Santana's insistence on rolling her eyes.
Still, it wasn't a total bust. Watching Rachel freeze at Brittany's insistence of doing 'Prom Night Dumpster Baby' from Family Guy was almost better than her sweet lady kisses- Brittany's, not Rachel's- almost.
"Brittany, I don't think that-that would be appropriate for this-this venue"
"Why? Because you don't like unwed mothers or dumpster babies?"
"I-I consider both topics of great concern-"
"So your contend that unwed mothers and dumpster babies are concerning to you? What are your plans to eliminate them?"
Rachel looked dizzy, so Santana decided to step in.
"Just let her do the song, Berry. It's a musical number and I hear that Seth McFarlane is, like, famous for his love of musicals, he sticks them in every episode. Not everything has to be about parades and the freaking wizard of Oz."
"Fine. Brittany you can do the song" Brittany made a gesture of triumph and grinned at Santana who returned the smile, and resisted the urge to go weak in the knees.
Things proceeded, regretfully, to Santana at least, at a steady and normal pace. Most of the guys besides Blaine had decided to do numbers from Green Day's American Idiot, and Blaine himself needed time to think, because the possibilities were endless. Santana knew he would take this as an opportunity to call Kurt, back in New York (She didn't think that anyone one besides herself ever, from Ohio, referred to New York as 'back in') to pick his brain and otherwise catch up. Wade/Unique settled on '525,600 Minutes' from Rent and Marley asked for some more time, not yet sure. Tina picked a song from Once and finally Rachel came to Kitty, AKA Miss Bitchy Fantastico.
This should be good, Santana thought, wondering what barb mini -Quinn might hurl her way.
Primly, Kitty responded, "Somewhere That's Green', from Little shop of Horrors" Santana was surprised, as were, given their faces, a few of the current glee club members.
"Sounds great. Okay, that leaves only Marley and Blaine undecided for today," Rachel ended, quickly; glad to avoid a possible confrontation with the blonde. Glee club ended soon after, but Santana found she was curious.
"What, someone had you spayed?" Santana approached Kitty while the rest of the members streamed out, and Brittany attempted to arrange an interview with Rachel for The Muckraker, and Sam attempted to pull her away from an increasingly flustered Berry.
"Good one. I hear Leno's looking for a token Latina to add to his team of writers, you should apply, if you not too busy reliving your glory days of five months ago." Kitty adjusted the strap of her backpack and waited for Santana to respond, walking away would just make the woman follow her into a crowded hallway, and besides, Kitty needed to save face after being called a bitch in their last encounter, however much she deserved it at the time.
"You just like musicals, suddenly?"
"I like that one. Besides if your ex is going be singing about abandoned fetuses, I think I can choose one from a musical about alien plants." Kitty looked over to where Sam had whispered run to Rachel, and she took off, Brittany in pursuit, with Sam in tow. Santana swallowed thickly, against the reminder that she was with him now, and had overtaken the role of Brittany's protector.
"Are we done now? Because I don't want people getting the wrong idea about me being alone in a room with you." Apparently the bitch was back, and wasn't planning anything as Santana had suspected, she wordlessly stepped aside, and Kitty trotted out.
In the now deserted hallway, however, Kitty broke into a run.
Life was relatively easy for Kitty. Her parents were generally supportive of everything she did (that they knew about anyway) and most of the students at school either avoided her or were ambivalent. It helped that there was little that interested her at the large high school- classes were easy, Cheerios was approached with the same ambivalence a middle aged man might his midlevel job at a firm, useful but unfulfilling, and Glee was just something to do, that didn't take up much time and gave her an outlet for her bitch tendencies; Glee club was a democracy, so shooting down the dumb ideas that occurred gave her a laugh or three.
Problem was that was beginning to change. Ever since losing Jake to Marley, things were lagging. Kitty didn't care. She had plenty of suitors, or least, fuck buddies. Hell, she had to face it; it wasn't even Jake she was upset about.
That was why she chose her song selection. It fit well; just like losing Jake wasn't the real problem in her life, Audrey, jr. the evil carnivorous plant wasn't the issue in Horrors. Seymour was.
Although she looked like Audrey, she felt like Seymour and wished she was a 'mean green motha' who took what she wanted, even if the price was a great deal of suffering. But she wasn't- she was the useless of all three characters: too subtle, like Audrey, too ensconced in her own issues like Seymour, and entirely destructive like Audrey, Jr. when left to her own devices. For now she would have to play all three characters. It was becoming tiresome.
A/N: So, this is the lead up to Kitty singing her piece. Next chapter deals with other parallels to the other characters issues, while working in the aftermath of the events of 'I Do'~LoungeLizard
