When Santana and Brittany arrive back at Santana's house, they are practically tackled to the ground by a small boy.
"Can we pleaaaaaase play now?"
"Sure Trey. Santana will stay and play with you for a second while I go put my stuff in her room." Santana heads up the stairs to deposit Brittany's things in her room. She pauses before going back downstairs and stretched a little. Her and Brittany were going to have to act like each other until Wednesday. It's going to be a long few days...
Santana made her way downstairs and rejoined her girlfriend and her cousin. Trey wanted to play knights, one of his favorite games. He had a sword and a helmet and one of those fake horses on a pole toys. He had an extra sword which he handed to Brittany. Santana and Trey were always the ones who were coming to save Princess Brittany. The two teenagers would have to do some role reversal tonight and play parts they were not used to so Trey wouldn't suspect anything. Kids were more observant than ever these days.
Santana went over and perched on the recliner in the living room. It was always here that Brittany sat when she was "trapped" by the villain and had to be saved. Various couch cushions and pillows were laying around the living room. These would act as the only "safe" spots that you could walk on without getting killed by the lava.
Santana's house was pretty big, her dad was a doctor after all, and the living room was fairly large. The recliner was at one end while Brittany and Trey slowly made their way from the other side. The two knights battled various imagined creatures. Swinging swords and battle cries were the only signs of the invisible war being fought in the middle of Lima, Ohio.
Content to just watch in amusement until she was rescued, Santana let out the occasional "Help me!" to which she usually got a reply such as "Don't fear, we are coming!" Brittany was graceful, balancing on the pillows almost effortlessly. Much more smoothly than Santana did when she was pillow hopping coming to save Brittany.
When the two rescuers reached their damsel in distress, Brittany played the perfect chivalrous knight as Trey rearranged the pillows. It was a ritual that they had. Santana would usually explain to Brittany the dire situation she was in as Trey made sure they couldn't take the same path back. Brittany knew all of the lines though, and said them with a playful twinkle in her eye.
First, she took Santana's hand and kissed it. "My fair lady, we have come to rescue you. Cling to me and I will guide you across the treacherous path we have ahead of us. Sir Trey here will lead the way, killing all dangerous beasts in our way."
"Thank you for coming! I was worried I was never going to get rescued."
"C'mon! We have to start going before they notice we saved her!" Trey announced, as he had finished the rearrangement.
They slowly made their way back to the safety of the other side of the living room. Santana and Brittany never letting their hands part as usual. When they got to the other side, Brittany would always give Trey a quick kiss before he cleaned up the living room and decided on the next game. Santana did as was expected and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Trey lit up the room with his smile and quickly started mumbling to himself about which game was next.
"Do I get a kiss too, fair maiden?"
"Of course, my savior should be rewarded!"
Santana, momentarily forgetting the role reversal again, lifted Brittany up into her arms. Being taller and having the strong dancer muscles that usually belonged to Brittany had its perks. Brittany wrapped her legs around Santana as the girls kissed each other.
"Brittany, what are you doing? Don't you know it's the knight who lifts the princess?"
"I uh...I forgot for a second. Sorry Trey."
"You're lucky you're dating my cousin otherwise I would be a little more mad at you for that!"
Santana laughed, cuteness must run in her family. "I believe Santana is the truly lucky one." She caught Brittany's eyes and gave her a wink.
"Girls! Trey! Time to eat!"
"Can we play more after we eat?"
"Sure, Lil' Man." Brittany said. With that, Trey left for the dining room, all being right in his world now that his cousin called him by his usual nickname again.
Brittany took Santana's hand and gave her a worried look.
"You'll be fine, B. I'll be right there with you. We can get through this."
Brittany relaxed at Santana's words and the soft squeeze she gave her hand. With a calming breath, they walked to the dining room.
The girls made it through dinner without saying much. When confronted, they simply feigned being wiped out from Cheerios and school today. After a few board games Trey, being the little gentleman (more for Brittany than Santana) agreed to just watch a movie before he was sent to bed since the girls were tired. Santana popped in Finding Nemo.
"Brittany, I'm glad to see you figured out the DVD player." Santana's mom gave her a pat on the back. "We are going out tonight with your aunt, be sure to get Trey into bed at his usual time. You girls should probably get some sleep too."
"Bye Mrs. L."
"Bye mom—uh, mami."
After the parents left, Santana and Brittany made a small bed on the floor with all the couch cushions and pillows from their earlier game. They laid down with their heads together and arms around each other covered with a big fleece blanket, but their legs had distance between them. Trey snuggled his way into the space that was left for him between his favorite cousin and his crush with his small Cars blanket over himself.
Brittany watched the movie intently, Finding Nemo was one of her favorites. It was the only time that you would catch Santana's eyes completely glued to a television playing a kid's movie. Meanwhile, Santana kept the eyes she had control over, on the scene that lay before her. Brittany had adjusted during the movie so her head was laying on Santana's pale shoulder, easier now that Santana had the longer body frame. Santana also took in Trey, already asleep even though the movie still had about a half hour left in it.
Even in her current situation with the body switch and everything, life was being pretty good to her. She sighed in contentment and let her eyes drift shut.
Soon enough she felt lips peppering her face with small kisses. Finally, a gentle, nice wake up call.
"Movie is done, Sany. We should go to bed."
"Mk, can you carry Trey to the guest room and put him to sleep? I'll shut off everything down here and meet you in my room."
"Sure, see you in a second."
After Santana finished turning everything off, she made her way up the stairs. She decided to stop and pick Brittany up at the guest room and walk together back to hers.
"Good night, Trey. I had a great time today." Brittany gave the boys forehead a quick kiss as she tucked him in.
"Good night, San. I did too. Thanks for playing with me. You and Brittany are the best ever!"
Once again, like many so many times already, Santana's mind flashed to the future of when this might happen with their own kid. She almost couldn't wait.
When Brittany stepped outside the room and shut the door behind her, Santana took her hand. They walked together back into Santana's room and changed quickly for once. It didn't take long for either girl to fall asleep in each other's arms, not even bothering to think too much about tomorrow.
