Part 1
The night before the NYC crew go to watch Nationals
To say Dani was nervous about her upcoming trip to Philadelphia was an understatement. Dani was joining Rachel, Kurt and Santana's trip to Philadelphia to watch the New Directions at Nationals but the New York Crew were not the only one go to watch Nationals all the other New Direction alumni were going to, up until now Dani had not met any other glee club member with exception of Blaine, Kurt fiancé and she was quite scared to see how people reacted to the fact Santana had moved on from Brittany and she was also scared to meet Quinn Santana's best friend and a two time hook up of Santanas. Rachel is in the middle of Funny Girl stuff and the Philadelphia trip will be a good break from all that craziness but she was also a bit nervous because it would mean seeing people from Lima for the first time since Finns memorial and in some case since his funeral, Kurt had said the performance is a dedication to Finn and was a bit scared of all the memories which were going to be brought up since last nationals Finn and Rachel were engaged and due to get married very soon and now he was gone. "Dani, table 3 is ready to order" one of the other waitress said breaking her out of her trance
"Thanks" she said and made her way to table 3. The rest of the shift went pretty quickly and before she knew it she was heading to Bushwick via her apartment to pick up her bags because they were leaving to Philadelphia early the next morning. Once she arrived at the loft she found Kurt and Rachel had just returning from school and Santana nowhere to be seen. So the three of them started dinner, Dani was in charge of dessert which was pie she got from the dinner. Just as dinner was being put on the table Santana rushed in all sweaty which Dani didn't mind but she saw Rachel pull a face.
"Sorry I am late , dance ran late and I missed the train and had to catch a different one and walk the last couple of blocks" Santana said as she made her way to her room to drop her stuff off but not before planting a kiss on her girlfriends lips which made Dani smile and Kurt and Rachel gag.
"Well hurry up dinner is getting cold" Kurt said
"Calm down Porcelain" Santana replied. Santana's nicknames for people was still something Dani was getting used to while to be honest Santana's bitchiness was something Dani was getting used too but hearing a bit more about her up bring and her Abuela explained a lot.
"Hey Satan be nice, remember we are a happy family" Rachel said
"Zip it Yentl" Santana replied
"Hey guys the more you bicker the colder the dinner is getting" Dani said which shut them up quick and dinner was peaceful as they talked about their days , Santana said she had an audition for a music video, Kurt was busy helping Isabelle at Vogue and of course Rachel had Funny Girl which made Dani feel a little inadequate because she was just working at the dinner and doing a night class.
"Hey Tana, do you know if they yeast-i-stat ad plays in Lima" Rachel asked
"God I hope not" Santana replied
"I like yeast in my bagel but not in my muffin" Kurt and Rachel said at the same time and then busted up laughing as Santana gave them the stink eye
"It was funny, I don't know the first couple of times but not now" Santana replied
"You are aware the Blaine has shared that gem with the glee club" Kurt said
"I know I should of killed that little cabbage patch kid when I had the chance" Santana said as Kurt looked a bit scared for Blaine's safety
"You can't kill Blaine Warbler Tana, if you did who would sing male lead at nationals" Rachel said
"Warbler? I thought his surname was Anderson mean that's what you write all over well everything Kurt" Dani said
"It is Anderson" Kurt said "but before Blaine was in the New Directions and was at McKinley he went to Dalton Academy and was a Warbler"
"So did you meet at competition?" Dani asked
"No they met when we sent him to spy on the Warblers" Rachel said
"And then Kurt went to Dalton, because Karofsky threatened to kill him if he told anyone that he kissed him" Santana continued
"Oh my god Kurt" Dani said "what a psycho"
"Karofsky was once Santana's beard" Rachel added
"Babe, what the hell" Dani proclaimed
"It wasn't my best move ok" Santana said
"So then what happened" Dani asked "I mean you graduation from McKinley"
"I went back to McKinley because I missed everyone" Kurt said
"And we beat the Warblers at regionals" Rachel added
"Then at the start of my senior year and Blaine's junior year he transferred to be with me" Kurt finished
"And he stayed after you left" Dani said "that's sweet"
"He considered going back to Dalton after they broke up because of all the memories but he stayed and thank god for cause the Warblers cheated at sectionals and so the New Directions got to go to regionals in their place" Rachel said
"Did the New Directions not win at sectionals?" Dani asked
"No they only sang one song before Marley passed out from not eating and sleeping in ages" Kurt said
"Yeah because that Kitty bitch had convince her she was fat" Santana said
"Kitty is the one who idolises Quinn, right?" Rachel asked
"Yep and has a poster in her locker which says what would Quinn Fabray do?" Kurt said "that's what Tina told me"
"What would Quinn Fabray do that's a good question she would sleep with her boyfriend's best friend and get knocked up, put the baby up for adoption, have a mental breakdown and join the skanks, text and drive and get hit by a truck resulting in her being in a wheelchair but make a recovery just in time for nationals, go to yale and sleep with her professor "Santana listed
"And hook up with her best friend at her teachers wedding which got called off but they still had a party" Rachel added "But not judgement because everyone hooked up with people at that wedding"
"Wanky" Santana said
"Hey is Sam's new girlfriend coming" Rachel asked
"What as staff chaperone?" Santana said as Dani started coughing as she inhaled her drink
"She isn't staff really, she is a sophomore at college and a trainee nurse I mean McKinley doesn't really hire qualified people for the nurse, remember when Mr Schues ex-wife was the nurse and gave us all Pseudoephedrine and all the mash-ups were cray cray" Rachel said
"Oh god that was so funny and Schuester was so disappointed in us" Santana laughed
"But not as disappointed as the time was got drunk and performed at assembly for alcohol awareness week" Rachel said "And Brittany puked on me"
"That was the same week you made out with Blaine and thought you had turned him" Kurt said laughing
"Fuck me, you guys are so messed up" Dani said
"Gladly" Santana said with a sexy grin
"No" Kurt said "we have to get up at the butt crack of dawn and I actually want to sleep tonight"
"Yeah I agree with Kurt save it for when you have your own hotel room tomorrow night" Rachel agree
"You guys are not fun" Dani said "are you going to get any allow time with my man Kurt"
"Maybe after nationals are finished and before we come back to New York, I will try to snuck off with him" Kurt smiled
"Well make sure I know the sign because I have walked in on you and Blaine before and I am still recovering" Rachel said
"Don't worry diva the feeling is mutual" Kurt replied
"Lumps the clown or the living mannequin" Santana asked
"Both" Kurt replied simply
"I really don't know which one is worse" Santana said
"Well you slept with one of them so" Rachel started
"I know I slept with Finnocence, I was embracing my inner Madonna and going after the younger man" Santana said
"But Finn's older than you" Rachel said
"Yeah will math was never a strong point for Britt" Santana replied
"According to MIT Britt is a math genius "Kurt added
"Yeah well simple math was never a strong point for Britt" Santana said. The gang cleaned up after dinner and made their way to bed due to their early start tomorrow.
