I'm really sorry you guys, I had some serious writers block with this chapter and to be honest I am not all that happy with the way that it turned out, I hope that the next chapter will be better. I will also try to update a lot faster this time now that I am on my winter break.
Also I want to give a shout out to BrittzandTana, it's really cool when the author of one of the stories that you're reading starts to read your story, so if you guys haven't checked out her story you definitely should!
Okay, I hope that this isn't the worst chapter ever, but if it is do not be afraid to tell me, please review!
Thank you to all of my wonderful readers!
"Can everyone with our VIP tickets please start to make their way into the theater and find a marshal who will show you to your seats? Thank you and enjoy the film!"
Santana and Dani walked hand and hand and found a marshal who led them to seats in the front row where Santana was sat next to the last two empty seats in the row and Dani was next to Rachel. Rachel, Dani and Santana were talking about who excited they were to finally see the movie when another marshal led the two people who were to complete their row over. Santana turned around at the look on Rachel's face and gasped as she saw who would be sitting next to her for the next two and a half to three hours; the one and only Brittany S. Pierce.
"Hello Santana." Brittany said in a strained voice. "Rachel, this is my boyfriend Andrew."
"Hi Brittany, hello Andrew, I almost didn't recognize you with clothes on." Santana replied in a voice that was colder than Dani had ever heard speak, Rachel winced at the comment and Brittany just looked down at her lap while Andrew's cheeks grew red as a tomato. "This is my girlfriend Danielle Lawson." She said after a moment of icy silence.
"Nice to meet you Danielle." Brittany said with a tight lipped smile and she shook her hand.
Dani was saved from having to reply or try and make awkward conversation when an announcer introduced Will and Artie as the writer and director. After the applause for them died down Mr. Schuester began to speak.
"I am truly honored to be here, when I decided to write this book I never imagined in a million years that it would become something so popular. I have to thank my students, who have become like family, which I based this book on. They, their stories, and all the crazy drama that went on in our Glee Club is what this book was based on, and even though sometimes during all of this I wanted to rip my hair out I wouldn't trade it for the world. I have to acknowledge the 12 kids, well adults now, that were the basis for this book. First I'd like to start with Finn Hudson, who this film is dedicated to, Finn was my basis for Cory and he was killed in Iraq 7 years ago. Also I want to thank the other wonderful people who are the real life characters; Quinn Fabray, Noah Puckerman, Michael Chang, Tina Chang, Sam Evans, Artie Abrams, Brittany Pierce, Mercedes Jones, Kurt Hummel, Rachel Berry and Santana Lopez. I want to thank you all for providing the inspiration and stories for these characters as well as the amazing vocals that are heard in the movie, and Rachel and Santana for acting their roles as well. I also have to thank Blaine Anderson for lending his vocals to Cory's character and to Artie for directing this film and to all the amazing actors and actresses that did such a wonderful job acting in this film. Thank you all and I hope you enjoy it as much as we did when we were making it." Mr. Schuester said and then everyone applauded.
After Mr. Schue spoke Artie said a few things about the movie and made reference to a few inside jokes that only the kids who were actually in the New Directions got. After his speech was done the movie began. It opened with the Mr. Schue based character sitting in his office explaining to his wife about his diverse group of 12 students that made up his glee club, and how he hoped that they could go further in the competitions than they had the year before. The movie then goes on to show the New Directions personal stories, the breakups and new relationships, the closeted secrets, the friendships that have spurred that seemed impossible before the glee club, and of course every characters desire to win the national championship. The film also shows the club participating in all of their competitions, and eventually winning nationals.
The film, like the novel pretty much mashed together the two real years which the New Directions made it to Nationals, as there were events portrayed in the film from both years. Some of the most memorable scenes in the film were the scenes based on the relationship between Finn and Rachel, Santana's coming out scene, and when they finally won Nationals. Some of the songs that they covered were; Don't Rain on my Parade, Valerie, We Are Young, Paradise by the Dashboard Light, Light up the World and others. When the movie finished there was a picture of the character accompanied by a picture of the real person and a little information about each person.

After Finn's picture faded to black and the credits started to roll everyone stood up and gave the film a standing ovation. Dani smiled as she watched Santana and Rachel get up and take a bow with the rest of the cast, she was incredibly proud of her girlfriend and friend, they had acted wonderfully in the film. Dani wrapped her arms around her girlfriend as she came back to where they were sitting.
"Are you ready to go to the after party?" Santana asked Dani, she also let out a little sigh of relief when she noticed that Brittany had apparently already left the theater, this didn't go unnoticed by Dani.
"Are you sure you wanna go? Isn't Brittany going to be there?" Dani asked, she kind of wanted to go to the party, but she didn't want to go if it was going to make Santana feel uncomfortable.
"There are going to be so many people there, plus she ended up next to us here, the odds of us running into her at the party are super low, and I want to spend time with my friends and I want you to get to know them better."
"Alright then, lead the way Madame Lopez."

Dani was having a great time at the after party and was really glad that she and Santana had come. She really liked all of Santana's friends, especially Puck and Mercedes, she liked Quinn to but just found out that she had once slept with Santana and didn't know how she felt about that. They hadn't even run into Brittany or her boyfriend once.
"The Boy is Mine was pretty great." Puck said, Mercedes and Santana were trying to decide which of their many duets over the years was the best.
"That's because we were sing fighting over you!" Mercedes said shaking her head.
"You two had a singing battle for Puck?" Dani asked confused and slightly amused.
"Yes sophomore year of high school." Puck said. "It was wonderful."
"Shut up Puck."
"I liked River Deep Mountain High." Mercedes said resuming the argument.
"Rumor Has It/Someone Like You mashup!" Santana countered.
"Shake it Out with me!" Tina said as she happened to be walking by.
"Oh! That was a good one." They said at the same time.
"Okay, well while you two try and figure that out, I'm going to go to the ladies room." Dani said smiling and walking to the bathroom.
As she was washing her hands she heard the door to the stall of the woman who came in after her open. She turned around and saw that it was Brittany, Dani gave her a curt not and began to dry her hands. As she was about to leave the bathroom Brittany spoke.
"She's just passing through, this is what she does ya know, she never stays with anyone for very long." Brittany said as Dani's hand was on the door knob and she froze.
"Excuse me?" Dani asked turning around.
"I'm just saying don't get too involved, she never keeps anyone around for more than a few months. And you two have been together for what? 4 months? Ya she'll be moving on to the next girl soon." Brittany said, it was now clear to Dani that she had had more than a few drinks. "She hasn't been in a serious relationship with anyone since me!"
"So you're saying that you broke her?" Dani asked, she knew that this had been true for a while but that Santana was now whole again, and Dani had helped her get there.
"I'm saying that I'm the only one that she will ever love and that you don't deserve her." Brittany slurred.
"And you do?" Dani asked with a laugh. "Because from what I've heard you don't deserve her even a little bit, and aren't you with your little boy toy anyway, why do you care who Santana is with now?"
"Because, I still love her and I just made a mistake." Brittany said.
"I don't think what you did is qualified as a mistake." Dani said
"And you just know everything?"
"No, and I don't claim to, but I know enough to know that you aren't going to be getting forgiveness any time soon."
"Dani are you okay- oh." Santana said coming in the door that Dani was standing in front of, clearly she had been in the bathroom a lot longer than she realized.
"She's not good enough for you San." Brittany said when she saw Santana.
"1. Don't call me that, 2. You lost the right to give me your opinion on my life a long time ago, and 3. She is perfect for me, not that it is any of your business anymore." Santana said and a low but serious voice.
"Santana,"
"No Brittany, please just leave me alone, you're drunk, go find Andrew and go home." Santana sighed.
"I still love you." Brittany argued.
"Given the way that you've treated me I'm not so sure that you ever did, now if you'll excuse us we are going now." Santana said and pulled Dani from the bathroom before she could protest.
"Santana?" Dani said, Santana looked like she wanted to punch something and Dani was afraid that she just may if the right person walked in her path.
"Can we leave please?" Santana asked and Dani just nodded and followed Santana as she walked over to Rachel, Kurt, Blaine, and Mercedes.
"Santana are you alright?" Rachel said seeing the look on her friend's face. Dani mouthed "Brittany" to the group and they all seemed to understand.
"We're going to go, see you guys back at home? Kurt and Blaine you guys are coming over tonight right?" Santana asked trying to sound casual.
"We were actually just saying goodbye to Mercedes, and ya we are going to stay over tonight if you don't mind…" Blaine answered.
"Awesome." Santana said in a voice that was anything but awesome. "We'll have to get together soon Mercedes, I'll call you?" she said giving the other girl a hug.
"Ya definitely, it was great to meet you properly Dani." Mercedes said pulling her in for a hug as well.
"You too Mercedes." Dani said with a smile and followed Santana out to where the cars were.
They were sitting in the limousine half way back to Santana and Rachel's before Santana actually said anything, she was obviously trying to calm herself down.
"I'm sorry." She said to Dani.
"For what?"
"Brittany attacking you like that, she had no right." Santana said.
"You don't have to apologize Santana, I'm sorry that she came after you…"
"She has no right to say anything about me or my life, and to tell me that she loves me, she just shouldn't be able to do that."
"She was drunk."
"Yes but still, Brittany is the most honest when she's been drinking." Santana said.
"San, don't take this the wrong way but do you still love her?" Dani asked, she had been wondering for a while, she knew that Brittany had hurt her but she also knew that they had been together for a long time and feelings like those don't go away easily.
"I think that there is a part of me that does, and that always will." She said quietly. "But it's definitely not a big part, I love you Dani, I do, just when she says things like that it brings back old memories that I would rather not think of. I was naïve, I forgave her too many times, I thought that she loved me enough to stop doing what she was doing but apparently she didn't. I walked in on her and Andrew for the fourth time and knew that it wasn't going to stop, we just weren't meant to be."
"I'm sorry that it happened to you Santana."
"Thanks, but if it didn't I never would have had the chance to be with you, so I guess it wasn't 100% bad." Santana said giving Dani a kiss on the cheek.
"True." Dani said. "So, how about you, Rachel, Kurt, Blaine and I order some pizza, break out the wine, and play a little karaoke on the Wii."
"Oh my god, you've been spending too much time with Rachel!" Santana laughed.
"So yes to karaoke or no, because I really feel like singing!"
"Yes, if Berry, Lady Hummel and the Warbler agree, which I'm sure there is no doubt that they will."
"Wonderful!" Dani said as the limo pulled into the driveway. The other one with Rachel, Kurt and Blaine pulled up right behind them. The two women waited for the other three before making their way to the door, where there was an envelope taped to it addressed to Santana.
Santana opened the envelope and saw that it was a letter she let Rachel unlock the door so she could read it as she walked. Dani and Kurt noticed the frown on her face as she read the letter and looked at her with concern.
"Who is it from?" Kurt asked as they made it to the living room. Santana didn't say anything but handed the letter. "Oh my goodness." He said and then read the letter aloud:
Dear Santana,
I am quite disappointed that I missed you, I was unaware that you were going to be out tonight, I suppose I should have done my research better. I just want you to know that when I do meet you, you will be upset that you missed me as well. I know that you think that Danielle is making you happy now, but I will change that. I will do whatever it takes to make you mine, whatever it takes, I hope that you will come willingly but I must warn you, sometimes my temper can be a bit, shall we say, short…I hope to see you soon my dear.
Your Biggest Fan
"Well I guess that means the karaoke is off…" Rachel said in attempt to lighten the mood.
"I'm calling the police." Dani said running out of the room to get her phone.
