A/N: I am so happy with all the alerts/favorites/reviews! Thank you for reading my story and I hope you are all enjoying it so far!

NOTE: This next lengthy paragraph is total irrelevant to the story because I am currently flailing over the episode I just watched. It is 4AM I have been up for 20 hours and yet I cannot go to sleep because of what the hell just happened. SPOILER ALERT First of all, I totally should have seen it coming after the sweetness that was last weeks episode but god damn! How could they pack so much sadness into one episode! Karofsky's attempted suicide? That was heartbreaking. I wasn't a fan of Cough Syrup at first but now...chills, every time I hear it. And then they won regionals and the berry's and hummel-hudson parents were hilarious and then Quinn got fucking hit. Holy crap. They cannot expect us to wait for seven freaking weeks. My eyes are wide open right now which is pretty much why I have finished this chapter. Sorry for the rant, I just have absolutely NO friends I can talk about Glee with:(

Read on! Also this is sort of a filler hence why it is a bit short...sorry:/

Disclaimer: Don't own it never will. It's late, there are probably a lot of mistakes of which they are all mine.

Brittany's POV

I woke up at 5, like usual. I liked to start my day earlier so I had more time in the day to do things. And I liked to watch the sunrise.

Then I remembered: I was going to hangout with Santana today. I instantly smiled at the thought, she was so great. Not just hot but a really cool person too, I couldn't wait to hang out with her. I already had a whole day planned, I just hope she liked it.

First I was going to take her to that secluded place in the Donithorne arm and we were going to have a picnic and then we'd go to that old cinema and watch a scary movie so she'd get scared and I could hold her in my arms and maybe kiss her...

Okay maybe that was too much of a 'date' rather then a hang out.

After reviewing the schedule I wrote down I decided it WAS too much...for the moment at least. I don't want to scare her off. Sighing I realized I had no plan again.

I threw on a light blue bikini, jean shorts, and a white shirt before quickly doing my make up and tying my hair.

I made my way downstairs to start my morning routine: Go to the kitchen, say hi to my parents, drink some orange juice, drive to the Marina, eat breakfast with Tina and Mike before they had to go to work.

"Good morning honey," my dad greeted.

"Morning dad, where's mom?" I asked, usually she was right next to him while he read the newspaper and she read TIME.

"She had to go to work early today," he said without looking up from his paper. My mom was the county sheriff, which meant she was at work a lot. I was proud of her sure but, well...we aren't exactly that close.

"So, what are your plans for today kiddo?"

"Oh I'm hanging out with Santana today!" See, things like that I wouldn't share with my mom. My mindset when I was around her was 'the less I said the less she could judge.' She always found a way to make me feel stupid or useless. Unless we were around other people, then I turned into her 'wonderful daughter of whom she was so proud of.' Pretending that she actually gave a damn about me.

Stop thinking about her Britt! She isn't worth getting mad at!

"Oh good! She seems nice and polite, I like her," he said. I smiled at his approval," Well have fun today, I'll see you tonight," with that he gave me a kiss on the cheek and left.

Going through the French doors that led to the deck I took in the fresh air. The sun was barely poking over the ridge to my left creating a shadow over part of the lake. Nature was my thing, I had always been outdoorsy, rumor has it I could swim on my own since I was two. And I learned how to drive a boat at 7. Even now I was untying my boat like a pro, it was ingrained in my system. I drove along the waters surface much better then I did on a road.

The lake was my life and I loved it but I couldn't help but wonder what living in a city would be like. I have been to Pittsburg once when I was really little and it was so much different...but not exactly a BAD different, just different. Here I would fall asleep listening to the wind sweep across the lake and the gentle lapping of water on the shore. There I listened to distant police sirens, impatient drivers honking and the general bustle of your typical big city. It was intriguing and I wanted to experience more of it.

I wondered what Santana thought of L.A. and if she hated the lake, I hope she didn't. Just as she re-en my mind her house came into view. I briefly slowed down, tempted to go over there so I could see her now because god, did I want to. But again I decided showing up at her doorstep at 5:45 might not go over well with her or her uncle so I continued out of Ellis cove and into the Johnson Arm. The closest Marina was nicknamed Mike's Marina, or just Mike's for short. They rented and sold space for houseboats (speaking of, my family's and the Fabray's were docked there) and they had a little grocery store/gift shop/cafe. Oh, and they had a gas station (trust me, with the way I use my boat much gas is needed (Mike's parents owned the place, which is why Tina had a job there- who wouldn't want to work alongside their boyfriend?

I filled my tank up, paid and parked before making my way along the long dock and to the store.

I greeted the regulars sitting out on their porches and visitors who were carting their things to houseboats for some vacation time. Billings was a popular place for families and college students.

As I entered the store a bell dinged. There was a couple looking around but no Mike or Tina. On the right side of the store were the essentials: milk, ice, bread, fruits, water etc. There were also toiletries and some medicine. Oh, and condoms, can't forget those.

Then there was the register in the middle and on the left side were clothes that either said 'Mike's Marina' or 'Billings Lake' on the various items. There were also miscellaneous things like playing cards, paper, pens, postcards, sunglasses and other random stuff. Upstairs was the cafe where Mrs. Chang made the best fresh-squeezed lemonade and blueberry pancakes.

Basically the store had all you would ever need.

I hoped over the counter like it was no one's business in search of my friends. Mike Chang Sr. was at his old dinosaur computer doing whatever it was he does.

"Hi Mr. Chang are Mike and Tina around?" I asked.

"Upstairs," he said in his stern voice. I'm not gonna lie, Mike Chang Sr. scared me a little, and I am pretty sure he hated ever since he caught Mike and I drunkenly making out in the storage room (Pre-Tina, it was a LONG time ago).

Exiting quickly I took the stairs by two, Tina was already seated, she was the only one in the small cafe.

"Hey Britt, there you are, Mike is getting the food," Tina greeted.

"Hey T, how's your morning going so far?"

"Same as always B, I woke up and then I came here, nothing too special yet."

"Well I have a feeling today will be very special," I said, my thoughts immediately going to Santana.

"That happen to have anything to do with hanging out with a certain dark haired Latina would it?" she asked.

"What? No! In fact, I completely forgot about that, thanks for reminding me!"

"Brittany you're a terrible liar."

I could feel my cheeks redden.

"No I'm not..."

"Britt it's okay to have a crush in her, she's hot." My eyes widened and I looked around to make sure no one was there.

"Shh! Tina!" I said.

"Look, I know that you haven't exactly told us but we all know you aren't as straight as you make yourself out to be- you should know we don't care." I gave her a small smile.

"Thanks T. I know I have your support it's just... The less people who know the less of a chance..."

"It has to get back at your parents?" I looked at her surprised. How did she know all this? Could Asians ACTUALLY read minds?

"Don't look so surprised Britt, I've known you since the second grade."

"I-I just...can you just not talk about this with everyone else. I don't want there to be any chance of my mom finding out."

"Course B." Perfect in everything as always Mile arrived with our food, 3 pancakes and lemonade for me, a blueberry muffin and coffee for Tina and eggs, toast, bacon, sausage and milk for himself.

"So what were you ladies talking about?"

"This college guy who was miserably failing on getting Britt to go on his boat with him," Tina lied, how did she do that? I could barely tell she was lying!

"Oh, sounds like Puck, minus the college part." We both laughed at that part because it was so true.

"So you're going out with that Santana girl today right?"

"We're not 'going out', it's not like it's a date or anything," I quickly said.

"Wow, way to be obvious Britt," Tina said slapping her forehead. There goes that blush again.

"So what are you doing for your non-date then B?" Mike asked.

"Oo are you guys gonna go on a romantic sunset ride along the water?" Tina teased. I groaned, burying my face in my hands.

"Brittany I am awesome at impressing the ladies, if you need any advice just ask."

"Eww you guys better not make out all the time, I hate when couples do that." Ignoring them both I ate my pancakes wondering what Santana and I could do.

Santana's POV

I woke up early to the sound of a doorbell. For some reason I was really tired and the sun wasn't even flooding my room yet. I moaned into my pillow wondering who the fuck would wake me up at this ungodly hour. If it's my mom 'testing to see if the doorbell still works' I was seriously going to cut a bitch. I cracked my eye open to see the time, 7:00. In the MORNING? Nu-uh, Santana does not get up that early during the summer, who in their right mind would- and then I did a double take. That wasn't my alarm clock.

Memories of the previous day came back to me, my mom driving me to the airport, Virginia, the Lake, the party, Brittany.

At the remembrance of the blonde my eyes shot open. What if that was her at the door? Oh my god I looked like shit!

"Santana! Brittany's at the door!" my uncle screamed. Shit shit shit!

"Give me 5 minutes!" I screamed back. I threw on a random bathing suit, thinking that I would need it, and a cute floral summer dress over the top. Quickly brushing my teeth, putting on the least amount of makeup I could possibly afford and tying my hair in a side ponytail I rushed down the stairs to the blonde.

All my anxiety literally dissipated at the sight of her. Gorgeous. That's all I had to say. Any feeling that I felt yesterday was somehow intensified.

"Hi, sorry to keep you waiting." Woah, Santana Lopez does NOT apologize! This girl was making me break all my rules.

"Oh my gosh San, I am so sorry I came so early. It was just- Mike and Tina were being all obnoxious, and I didn't know what we were gonna do and I- I just-" I started laughing, her little rant was so cute especially when she started to blush.

"It's okay Britt," where did that cone from? It was one thing for someone to give me a pet name but when I did? Totally different story.

She bit her bottom lip and I the look she was giving me almost made me think she knew exactly the effect she had on me.

"Umm, so I don't really have any plan because my other one...didn't really work out. So I was thinking we could drive into town or around the lake and I could show you around?" The smile never left my face from the moment I saw her sitting on the couch,

"The sounds perfect."

A/N2" So I realize that was kind of boring but the info was useful, so sorry. It's relevant I promise. I actually wasn't going to post another chapter till tomorrow night but like I said, after the episode that was 'On My Way' I just had to get my Gleek on.

Also if you have any questions about what the heck a 'houseboat' or an 'Arm' (No not the limb) or any other terminology is just drop a review or PM me. Again, thanks for reading and REVIEW.
