The thing about being in a relationship with four people is that there is always someone to go to depending on what you need.

When one of them felt the need to just be held and protected they went to Santana who secretly excelled at cuddling. When someone was unsure about their lives and feeling insecure they went to Rachel who could build a twig into a tree if she had enough time to make a power point. When one of them needed to hear the truth they went to Quinn who never hesitated to offer advice in her unique calm and undoubtedly loving way.

And without question when someone was just feeling bad they went to Brittany who could easily make a rock happy.

For this reason when Santana and Rachel were in New York scouting apartments and received word that the Fabrays had kicked out Quinn yet again they headed straight for Brittany's house the second their rental car crossed the Lima city limits.

Quickly the two brunettes were out of the car and heading up the walkway, their bags completely forgotten in favor of making sure that Quinn was okay.

When Santana opened the door they was met with the booming sound of the Lion King coming from the den and they took a second at the most to look curiously at each other before rushing into the room just in time to find Quinn jumping on top of the coffee table and belting out the first line of "I Just Can't Wait To Be King", her face a picture of happiness and what appeared to be utter freedom.

I'm gonna be a mighty king, so enemies beware!

Both Rachel and Santana had to hold back snorts of laughter when Brittany came seemingly out of no where and jumped up on the table as well, her smile wide as she ruffled Quinn's shaggy blonde hair into a mane and sang Zazu's line.

Well I've never seen a king or beast with quite so little hair.

Both brunettes were torn between letting out huge breaths of relief and trying their hardest to not dissolve into puddles of laughter when Quinn spotted them and jumped from the table to the couch to deliver the next part at the top of her lungs, her hazel eyes shining with love.

I'm gonna be the main event like no king was before! I'm brushing up on looking down! I'm working on my roar!

What control Rachel had left in her went out the door when Quinn let out an honest to god roar and extended her hand towards her. Without blinking the brunette jumped up onto the couch next to the blonde and looked to Santana who was leaning against the wall and shaking her head laughing so hard she was crying.

Brittany pounced onto the couch and caused Rachel and Quinn to shriek with delight as she poked and prodded them back onto the table so she could sing her next line.

Thus far a rather unispiring thing.

Santana winced through her laughter when Quinn jumped onto the table pulling Rachel with her and spun around to sing the chorus. Across from them Brittany sang her lines and Rachel unable to resist a good sing a long filled in for Nala.

Oh I just can't wait to be king!

No one sayin do this! Now when I said that-

No one sayin be there! What I meant was-

No one sayin stop that! What you don't realize-

No one sayin see here! Now see here!

Free to run around all day! Free to do it all my way!

Words could not describe how hard Santana was laughing at this point as the energy in the room built up and built up around her. At this point Brittany tapped into her gymnastics and jumped up to balance on the back of the couch, her arms sweeping to the sides as she delivered her next lines flawlessly in stern character.

I think it's time that you and I arranged a heart-to-heart!

In a flash Rachel cross the distance between the table and the couch prompting Brittany jump over the tiny diva and land between the table and the couch as the brunette sang her lines in of course, perfect pitch, a completely enthralled smile on her face.

Kings don't need advice from little Hornbills for a start!

Managing to look utterly outraged Brittany jumped up onto the table and started fussing with Quinn's hair again.

If this is where the monarchy is headed count me out! Out of service, out of Africa, I wouldn't hang about! This child is getting wildly out on wing.

Again Santana couldn't help but wince at the abuse that poor table was taking when Quinn suddenly leaped into the blonde dancers arms and wrapped her legs around her. To the side she could see Rachel daring her to join and she shook her head and laughed as Quinn through her arms up in the air to sing.

Oh I just can't wait to be king!

Suddenly the three froze in place and whipped there heads to the left when Quinn sang her next line.

Everybody look left!

When Rachel sang hers their heads whipped to the right conveniently where Santana was watching them clutching her chest and crying from laughing so hard.

Everybody look right!

Everywhere you look I'm standing in the spotlight!

Santana could feel the energy building and she wanted to stay back but when Quinn's eyes met hers and she could see the little part of her that needed to be held and protected the self-proclaimed badass jumped in for the Choir's (changing out a few words to suit) part singing at the top of her lungs and joining her girlfriends on the now loudly creaking coffee table.

Let every creature go for broke and sing! Let's hear it in the herd and on the wing! It's gonna be Queen Quinn's finest fling!

The last lines they all sang at the top of their lungs in perfect harmony as the table started to sway beneath them precariously.

OH I JUST CAN'T WAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIT TO BE KING!

Later that night after explaining to Brittany's mom and dad why their antique coffee table was in shambles the four girls lay in bed, each one sporting a couple of band aids a piece and a few bruises. Quinn sighed dreamily as she relaxed into the three girls wrapped completely around her. Her parents had kicked her out. They had set her free and now she was ready to take her place in the circle of life.

They all had their parts.
