After 5 hours Britanny had to leave to go to her Spanish 303 class, explaining that she had called Sam to ask why he wasn't there. Five minutes later, during which only one customer came in, luckily in search of a cup of black coffee, Sam came sprinting into the shop muttering something about traffic on highway 100.

"Hey I'm so sorry, it never takes that long to get here, did everything go alright?" He seemed nervous, much more than he should have been for a guy who owned the store he worked at.

"Yeah I'm good it's all fine, umm, what's up with you, you look, pale?" She wasn't sure what to do, he looked really off, but she also didn't know him at all.

"'ll be fine, my mom just called me and said she might have to go get some scans done because he her brain cancer might be coming back. I just… I'm trying to process." Santana just stared up at him. She had just started her job and she was already considering quitting. "And now this is awkward, you didn't want to know any of that, crap I'm sorry."

"No, it's fine, that sounds terrible, I'm so sorry man, does she live near here?" Santana decided she might as well just buckle down and talk to the kid, he did seem pretty messed up about it all."

"Yeah she lives in suburbia, St. Louis Park, but she has to go to The Mayo Clinic for all her medical stuff so she's looking for apartments in Rochester." He walked over to the stack of mugs and grabbed one of the top row pouring himself a cup of coffee and adding 3 shots of espresso. "She doesn't want to tell Britt, she thinks she's under enough stress. I just don't know what to do."

"It'll all work out, I mean all your super hero's had to over come big things like this, maybe you'll even get super powers out of the deal." She tried to comfort him, or at least get his mind off of things. But God this so wasn't her thing, where was Kurt when you needed him? Sure he was an annoying little twink most of the time but he would know what to do in this moment.

He laughed a little, "I wish that was how it worked." He downed the rest of his coffee and pushed his hair back "Time to help these little snowman get their caffeine fixes." It took Santana a minute to realize it had been a terrible attempt and a Richard Nixon voice.

"Wow that was bad man, I mean you," a laugh over took her words "you really thought that was to one you should go for?"

"Britt always says that ones the worst too, I figured I'd try it some one new." He rolled his eyes and jokingly added "Women…"

Santana smiled and put her hand over her heart "A women after my own heart." She and Sam snapped to attention as the door of the shop opened.

As Santana looked over to see who the new customer was, she liked to amuse herself by guessing their orders before they ordered, a wave of something close to hatred washed over her.

Dani.

The blue haired girl stood in the doorway holding a box of who knows what. Clad in a Twenty-One Pilots t-shirt and a pair of tight jeans she looked at the people behind the coffee bar, she sighed rolling her eyes and walked over.

"Samuel," She said curtly handing the box over to the boy "Could you give this to your sister please, she left her stuff all over my apartment." She looked over to Santana "Long time no see 'Tana, see you around."

She left the shop quickly leaving them both in a state of shock.

After a minute of silence Sam proclaimed, "Well that was awkward." All Santana could do was nod as she looked at the door through which Dani had vanished. The rest of the day went by with out anything interesting happening. Santana left at 5 leaving Sam to finish the day up alone.

She walked down the street trying to decide which movie she should watch that night (she had pretty much narrowed it down to Bridesmaids and Ghostbusters) she saw Brittany sitting out side of a small French restaurant with a group of her friends. She smiled and waved at Brittany as she walked by thinking very little of it.

"Wait Santana," She heard a voice call out behind her, "Let me introduce you to my friends." Santana walked back a few steps awkwardly standing on the other side of the fence. "Guys this is Santana, the new kid at the shop I was telling you about, and San, these weirdoes are James, Sarah, Madison, and Joe."

Santana tried to act normal well her mid was still reeling from Brittany's use of her nickname. "Hey guys," she waved awkwardly, totally unsure what to do next. Brittany invited her to sit down and eat with them, insisting when she initially refused. She eat a sandwich and relaxed with Brittany's friends.

James is a fencer at the U of M and dating Madison's sister, which lead to a lot of bad jokes. He seemed chill, even if he was a bit full of himself at times. Sarah seemed to be a ball of stress and laughter. She's the Stage Manager for the main stage productions at Augsburg College and majoring in flute, which meant this was her first time seeing her friends in months. Madison is an Anthropology major at the U and ridiculously engrossed in all things social Justice. Joe's and actor as well, he seemed kind of sad throughout the meal but she could tell he was normally chill.

Santana didn't miss the glances Brittany's friends would through at each other every time she cracked a joke, or the smirks that would cover their faces anytime Britt did anything remotely like flirting.
