So, in this chapter: Santana gets a new job, we meet Dani (Don't worry dear Brittana lovers, this isn't a Dantana story. Britt will come back soon.). Also Kurt gets back to and has a little chat with his boss. Rachel tells us how she feels about Finn, plus we have some Hummelpezberry fluff! Voilà!

Three chapters in two days, you guys are lucky! Don't get used to it. ;)

Enjooy ! xxx

'You were right, Rae !' Kurt said softly as he threw his bag on the couch of their New York apartment. 'It was a great idea to go back to Lima for the weekend.'

Rachel smiled to him.

'Since you're my best friend, I won't say that I told you so. And how many times do I have to remind you that I always have great ideas?'

'Er…No offense, Rae, but judging by the way you used to dress, before I intervened, I have to say that it's not entirely true.' Kurt chuckled.

'And I thought we were friends!' Rachel exclaimed, pretending to be offended. 'But I have to say that you were right too. Finn and I must have grown a lot these past few months. I thought it'd be awkward between us, but I guess I was wrong.'

'You two are still so cute together…You know my brother still loves you, right? I mean, he's being pretty obvious!'

'Yeah, I know. He told me at the wedding. He said we were 'endgame''. She smiled at that thought.

'Aww…But what about you? How do you feel?' Kurt asked.

'Well, I'd be lying if I said I'm completely over him. What happened at the wedding meant something, and when Brody left me, it hurt in a way, because he lied to me and he cheated on me, but I wasn't really…sad. I was almost relieved, actually. Whereas every time Finn and I broke up, I felt…You know how it feels.' Rachel said, looking Kurt in the eye.

'Yeah, I know.' He whispered with a sad smile. 'I guess I have my answer, then.'

'Where is Santana, by the way?' Rachel asked, changing the subject.

'No idea.' Kurt answered quickly. 'Satan!' He shouted.

No answer.

Kurt shrugged.

'I don't know, maybe she went for a walk.' he said before adding 'Would you mind to help me read my lines? We have to be nothing less than perfect for that final on Wednesday.'

'Sure. Perfect is barely acceptable.' She replied with a wink.

Less than an hour later, Santana was back in the apartment, a huge grin plastered on her face.

'Berry? Lady Hummel?' She called.

'Yes?' Rachel's voice answered.

'I found a new job!' The first girl yelled.

Rachel and Kurt came running from Kurt's room.

'Really? Where?' He asked.

'Well, it's nothing fancy, really. It's at a diner not far from here. I won't be paid as much and the uniform is ridiculous, but at least I'll be fully clothed at all times, and I'll probably get to sing, because there are plenty of jukeboxes there and almost everyone in the wait staff wants to make it on Broadway.'

'It's great, San! I'm happy if you're happy.' Rachel declared.

'And I might be able to get you a job if you need it, 'cause the owner is a fifty-year-old German perv. He probably doesn't have a green card, so I can blackmail him into doing what I want' Santana finished with a smug look.

'And there is the real Santana.' Kurt said simply.

'Ah, Lady Hummel. How did it go for your man? And what did Papa Hummel say about you two probably making out on his couch again…if not worse!' She asked, raising her eyebrow. 'I hope he didn't walk in on you while you were giving a little treat to the Hobbit to reward him for his audition!'

'Shut up, Satan!' Kurt retorted, his face flushing bright red. 'If you really want to know, Blaine was amazing. He'll probably get in.'

'So you're not denying the little treat. I must say I'm quite proud of you, Hummel!' Santana smirked.

Kurt's face reddened even more, causing Santana and even Rachel to burst out laughing. Both girls went giggling to the kitchen to take a coffee, and Kurt could hear Rachel say:

'I wonder when they got the time to get dirty; I was almost always with them!'

Kurt shook his head, wondering for what was probably the millionth time how he could be living with those two girls. If he had been asked three years ago who he'd like to share an apartment with, they would probably have been the bottom two on his list. That made him smile.

'Oh my Gaga!' Kurt squealed, after ending his Skype conversation with Blaine.

Both of his roommates rushed to see what was happening.

'What? What is it, Kurt? Is everything OK?' Rachel asked in a worried tone.

'Yes? Why?'

'Well you just screamed 'Oh my Gaga' like a little girl, which is not only extremely gay, but also mean that something serious just happened to you. So what is it, Hummel? Santana asked.

'It's…Did you hear about what happened to Tina?' Kurt asked, his blue eyes wide.

'No? What? Did she kill that Marley chick because she's the one who gets all the solos, or did she finally rape your precious boyfriend? Or maybe she simply got locked up for being the biggest creep on earth ever since boy Chang dumped her!' Santana asked. 'I saw it coming anyway.'

Kurt couldn't help but sneer a little, before saying:

'No! No, she didn't do any of that!'

'But you're not saying she's not capable of doing it! See?' Santana retorted triumphantly.

'Actually, she was elected prom queen, and…' Kurt began, before Santana cut him off.

'Really? Are we talking about the same Tina who faked a stutter three years ago? The one whose only Facebook friends were her parents? She got elected prom queen when I, Santana Lopez – the hottest bitch McKinley has ever and will ever see – didn't? Tell me it's a joke, 'cause it doesn't make any sense!'

'SANTANA! Will you let me talk? Actually, no, it wasn't a joke, until the Cheerios decided to remake Carrie, only with red slushie instead of pig blood!'

'WHAT?' Rachel yelled. She had been silent the whole time.

'Well, it's not really a surprise, but…WHAT? How is she? What did she do?' Santana asked, almost looking genuinely concerned.

'Apparently the new head Cheerio, Bree, decided that a Cheerio should be prom queen, and she set up that prank when she knew Tina was gonna win. Obviously, Tina left the gymnasium, and she went to the choir room. Kitty gave Tina her dress, and the other girls did her hair so Tina was able to get back to the stage to claim her crown.' Kurt answered.

'Poor thing. But I always thought that Kitty girl was a worse bitch than I was. Guess I was wrong. And who's that Bree anyway? Never heard of her before!'

'Yeah, she was on the team since the beginning of the year, but Sue recently decided to name her head cheerleader. Oh, and Figgins has a new nickname for her!' Kurt added with a mischievous grin.

'Which is?' Santana asked.

'New Santana Lopez.' Kurt said with a huge smile.

'WHAT THE HELL?' Santana bellowed 'I'm not letting that happen! Who does she think she is? No, no, no, no, no! I am NOT letting that happened. Has Figgins lost his mind? That bitch is nothing compared to me!'

'Well, since you mention Figgins, he's now just a janitor. Sue's principal.' Kurt said in a disgusted tone.

'Wait, what does that mean for Glee club?' Rachel asked, worried.

'Apparently nothing for now, but Sue made it pretty clear that if they lose at Nationals, the club's over.' Kurt answered sadly.

'THAT BITCH!' Santana growled. 'How dare she? Oh, she's lucky I don't go there anymore! How are the kids feeling?'

'Well, nervous, of course! Like they weren't under enough pressure already. Sue's a real bitch.' He said coldly.

'And how's Mr. Schue?' Rachel questioned.

'How do you think?' Kurt simply asked back.

'OK, I'll call him.'

She left the room.

'Now what else did your little piece of man candy tell you, Hummel?' Santana said, smiling.

'Well, that's it!' Kurt assured.

'Don't lie to me, Hummel! You had that dreamy look upon your face…Wait, were you scheduling your next make out session?'

'Did Rachel tell you that?' Kurt asked desperately.

'Wait, you really do that? Wanky!' Santana chuckled.

Kurt blushed and hid his head in his hands.

'Oh. My. God.' He said. 'OK, if you wanna know, Blaine told me they were doing the Beatles in Glee club. And he told me that their last number was All You Need Is Love , And he got the lead – of course. And well, I thought that if he had proposed to me after singing that song, I might've said yes.

'Hang on, Hummel. When did the Hobbit propose to you?' Santana demanded.

'Dammit!' Kurt whispered. 'I shouldn't have said that!'

'Rachel!' Santana yelled. 'Did you know that the Hobbit proposed to Lady Hummel?' Santana shouted.

'Hold on, Mr. Schue. Can I call you back later?' Rachel muttered into her phone. 'What did you say?' She added, storming into Kurt's room.

'Nothing!' Kurt quickly assured.

'Don't you dare chickening out on me, Hummel! You either said too little or too much! Do you want me to call your Dad?'

'What is going on here?' Rachel asked.

'It seems that the Hobbit proposed to Lady Hummel. Did you know about that?' Santana demanded accusingly.

'Well, yeah. Blaine mentioned it when we were in Lima. He even asked Burt for Kurt's hand! How cute is that?'

'You knew? Heck, even Papa Hummel knew about this and you didn't bother to tell me?' Santana screamed at Kurt.

'Why should I? I said no anyway. I'm just not ready to get married. And I had to stay consistent about what I said to Rachel last year!'

'You should have told me anyway. I'm your friend, for fuck's sake!' Santana yelled.

She sounded almost hurt, and it pained Kurt to see her that way.

'I…I'm sorry, San! I just…I didn't think it'd matter that much to you.' Kurt answered sheepishly.

'You don't think anything matters to me, isn't that right? Well guess what, you do matter!' She exclaimed. 'Both of you.' She added, looking at the other girl who was still standing in the doorframe (under the curtain rod, in fact). 'When will you guys understand that you are my family? Isn't a proposal the kind of news you'd like to share with your family? So next time something that big happens, I want to be the first one to hear it, alright?'

When she finished speaking, her voice was cracking, and her eyes were red.

'Of course, San. I'm sorry.' Kurt apologized.

'I know someone who could certainly use a hug!' Rachel chanted.

She grabbed Santana's arm. The taller girl smiled and hugged her back.

'C'mere!' Rachel told Kurt, gesturing for him to join them.

He happily obliged. When they parted, he said:

'I love you both. I hope you know that.'

'Of course we do!' both girls scoffed in unison.

They laughed, and Santana added:

'We love you to. But enough with all that cuteness! Now you're gonna get your butt over here, and you're gonna tell me everything about that proposal. And I mean everything, Hummel!'

'Yeah, me too, 'cause you didn't tell me anything.' Rachel pouted.

'Alright.' Kurt sighed, surrending.

Both girls looked at each other, exchanging identical sly smiles.

When Kurt walked into the building the next Monday, he felt like singing. Everything was absolutely perfect in his life. He was living in New York with his two best friends, he was a student at NYADA, an intern at with the best boss in the entire world, his father's cancer was cured, he had gotten his boyfriend back, and soon his boyfriend would be joining him in New York, and undoubtedly get into NYADA as well. But at the same time, all that happiness scared him. He had never had so much of it in such a short period before. When one was at the top, the only possible way to go was down. Kurt feared that something would soon come to snatch his happiness away. He was only hoping that he was wrong.

'Hello, Kurt!' Isabelle exclaimed when he came into her office, bringing her her first coffee of the day. 'I'd ask you how you are if the answer wasn't that obvious. What happened? It's been a while since I haven't seen you. How did your exams go?'

'I think I did pretty well, thanks. And thank you again for giving me time to prepare for my finals!' Kurt replied.

'But I can tell there's more. Is it about le boyfriend?'

'Hum…Yeah. We're back together!' Kurt squealed happily.

'Oh! That…That's great, I'm happy for you, really!' Isabelle chirped enthusiastically.

In fact, she even sounded a little too enthusiastic.

'What is it, Isabelle? What's wrong?' Kurt softly asked.

'Oh, nothing! It's just…I'm being stupid, that's all!' She quickly assured, faking a smile.

'You can tell me, you know!'

'Okay. I just…I'm forty years old, Kurt. I've been in this business for a long time, and I know what it can do to someone. I know you already told me that you wanted to be a performer on Broadway, but it's exactly the same. Now I don't want to scare you, or to spoil your happiness, but I have to tell you this: Enjoy that happiness while you have it. Live while you're still young. What scares me is that you remind me of when I was your age, my head full of dreams. Career-wise, I think I accomplished everything I wanted. But for the rest…I'm not saying that you will have to choose between your career and the rest! But what I do say is that you should make sure that you want that career, and that it'll be enough for you, because you might not be able to manage everything else. This kind of job is…Actually it's more than a job. It takes your whole life! When I was your age, I wanted to have a baby girl one day. That I could dress up, you know? In my mind, she was the prettiest girl on the whole planet. I came home to her every day after a long day at Vogue. I dreamed of that little girl who would love me unconditionally. But the truth is: I didn't have time for a child. I barely have time for myself! Why would I bring to this world a child who'd never see her mother? And without even going as far as having kids…You've seen The Devil Wears Prada! Well it's not only a movie! People grow apart! The longest relationship I've ever had was three years, and I think it might be a record amongst everyone who works here. And knowing why you and your boyfriend broke up the first time, I wanted to warn you.'

'Why are you telling me this?' Kurt asked, looking utterly terrified.

'Because I like you, Kurt. I care about you. Actually, I feel like I'm your fairy godmother. I don't want you getting hurt. That is why I encourage you to make the most of what you have while you have it. It might not always be there, you know?' She whispered back.

There was a long silence between the two of them, Isabelle looking anxiously at Kurt, and the boy staring blankly at the wall behind her.

'Kurt? Kurt, please don't hate me. I…I'm sorry, OK? I didn't mean to scare you, I only wanted to…'

She was cut off by Kurt's embrace. She stood there, stunned, before relaxing and hugging him back.

'Thank you.' He said, crying. 'I didn't know you cared so much about me. I…You scared me, I'll have to admit that. But I'd like to prove you wrong. In fifteen years, I'll be having a successful career, but I'll still be close to my friends, and I'll still be with Blaine. Hopefully by that time we'll have a couple kids, too.'

'I'm sure you will, Kurt. That's what I want for you. You're special, don't you ever forget that. I've never met someone so young and so talented. That's what you have. Pure talent. Your talent and your passion got you here. And if you're half as passionate about music as you are about fashion, then they're lucky to have you at NYADA.' She soothed.

He smiled and started to leave. Right before he was out the door, he said, without turning back:

'You would make an amazing mother.'

And he swore he could have heard her answer:

'And you'd make an amazing editor-in-chief.'

For the rest of the day, Kurt couldn't help but think about Isabelle's words. Would he really drift away from Blaine and his friends? Why wouldn't he? He already had once, and that was the reason that led Blaine to cheating on him.

Every time he thought like that, he would simply shake his head and think: 'No, I'm not gonna do that. I can manage both. Besides, Blaine wasn't there at that time. It'll change when I'm with him every day!'

At the same moment, at the Starlight Diner, Santana was freaking out. Who was that new chick who had been eyeing her for more than half an hour? Okay, so the girl was obviously a lesbian. She was wearing way too much eye-liner, and only a girl interested in lady parts would be staring at her for that long. Sure, the girl was hot, but was Santana ready for a new relationship? She still wasn't over Brittany. 'And I'll never be', she thought. Okay, but what would she do if she never got over Britt? Because Britt might never come back to her. And she could just be friends with the new girl, anyway. Or friends with benefits. Who knows?

The first thing she needed to know was that girl's name. After a few more moments of hesitation – what was she scared about? She could still talk to someone, whether that 'someone' was a hot lesbian or not!

'Hum Hi! Are you new here? I don't think I ever saw you, 'cause I'd definitely remember that.' She asked, smiling.

Wait. What was that? Was she flirting with that girl? Obviously. Why was she flirting with that girl?

'Yep. Started today. My name's Dani.' The blonde answered.

'Santana. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you don't look like a Broadway freak to me, unlike most people who work here.'

'Well, that's right. It's just me and my guitar. No Annie, no Phantom, no Evita.'

'But you're not from here?'

'Well, my parents weren't too pleased when I told them I was into lady parts, so I took my guitar and ran away.'

So she really was a lesbian. Great. Santana was freaking out even more. 'She'll definitely think I'm hitting on her.' But wait, was she? 'For fuck's sake! I have no idea what I'm doing!'

'Yeah, I know the feeling.' She nodded, before adding 'My abuela doesn't want to see me anymore.'

'What am I doing?' she thought. 'I just told her I was a lesbian too! What was I thinking? Now she must be thinking I'm trying to get into her pants. And I don't even know if that's what I'm doing!'

'Ah! I knew it. My gay-dar never betrayed me so far!' Dani said triumphantly.

'Ahem…Do you have a girlfriend?' Santana asked, sounding almost…hopeful?

'Nope. It's been a long time since I haven't had one. What about you?'

'Well I was dating that girl…She was my best friend. I still love her, but…It's over, I think.'

'Oops, sorry 'bout that. What happened?' Dani asked.

'Well she repeated senior year, so I broke up with her because of the distance, and she started dating a guy from our school.'

'Wait, she was bi?'

Santana simply nodded.

'Then I know what you need. A one hundred per cent Sapphic goddess. Someone who won't stray for penis.'

Santana frowned. Was she suggesting that Britt…?

'Wait, what do you mean? You think my girlfriend and I broke up because she was bi? Well that's bullshit! I set her free, that's what I did. She'd never cheat on me. You don't know her, but she is the sweetest person on earth. You think because she was bi, she couldn't stay with me? That is so reductive. And honestly, I can't believe that a lesbian could say something so…so biphobic!'

Santana stormed out through the back door, fuming. 'How dare she? How dare she insult Britt?'

She heard someone coming after her. Dani.

'What do you want?' She snapped.

'Listen, I'm sorry. I get it. You're not over her. And what I said was just stupid, but it's just…I wanted…I saw you this morning, and I thought: 'Wow, that girl's hot!' and I freaked out. And when I freak out, I usually say stupid things. I'm sorry.

'Yeah, I do that too. And I freaked out too, because I didn't know how to react. I didn't want to lead you on. In fact, I'm not sure what I want…I don't think I can be with someone right now.'

'Shh…It's okay, we can be friends. Let's start again. Hi, my name's Dani.'

'Santana.' She said with a smile.

They shook hands.

Yeah, friends would be enough. For now.

Hope you liked it, tell me in a review! :D

In the next chapter: Kurtana fluff (Santana tells Kurt about Dani !)! Yay! Some Tina drama right before Nationals and then, well...Nationals. A pillow fight in NYC. Blaine and Tina get their NYADA letters (cross your fingers). Oh, and a character that everyone likes (or almost everyone) might make a short appearance (guess who!).

Oh, and Brittana shippers...you might have a nice surprise before Chapter 6. If you review !
