Sunday afternoon 1:00 pm:
The next time her friends saw her, she had a busted lip, bruised eye, a cut above her left eye and bruised knuckles. They all gasped in shock and Rachel ran straight to her.
"Brittany, what happened?!" Rachel exclaimed touching Brittany's jaw softly
"He can mess with me but not my family." Brittany replied quietly
"Are you ok, sweetie?" Kurt asked concerned
"Yeah I'm fine" she replied as Benny hugged her leg
"I don't understand how he even got a punch in, Britt." Kurt said confused which confused the rest of the group
Brittany just said "three on one"
Kurt gasped along with the rest of the group.
"How did you get away without being completely purple" Mike asked
Rachel looked over her shoulder at the group and said "Brittany is an amazing kickboxer" then she turned back to Brittany so she didn't see Quinn grin and Santana's eyes go wide. They had both been watching closely at how Rachel ran to Brittany.
Benny spoke up and said "Yeah she kicks booty" Some of them laughed
Quinn leaned over to Santana and whispered "told you it made her hotter"
"What are to talking about?"
"Friday night in the kitchen I told I found something out about Brittany that she doesn't like to talk about, remember?" Santana just nodded
"Damn B, remind me not to piss you off." Diego said laughing
Brittany just smiled while Rachel led her to sit on the edge of the trailer. Benny hopped up next to Brittany and began playing on her phone. Rachel ran into the trailer and came back out with a first aid kit.
"Rachel, you should let Santana do that. Papi taught her all kinds of stuff, he's a doctor." Diego said
Rachel looked over to Diego then to Santana and said kind of sadly "oh ok, go ahead Santana" Rachel stood and walked out of the way.
Santana slowly walked over to Brittany "You ok with me doing the first aid stuff?"
"Oh yeah, sure." Britt replied
Santana crouched in front of Brittany and looked through the first aid box. She pulled out peroxide, butterfly band aids, gauze and gloves. Everyone watched, impressed.
"Did they hit you anywhere else?" Santana asked quietly while putting the gloves on
"Oh uh yeah but don't worry about it." Brittany said brushing off the question
"Well you need to go to the doctor, if they caused any internal damages…"
"Santana, thank you but all I need to do is clean up my mug" Brittany said grinning
Santana laughed and said "Well let me see what I can do"
Rachel and Quinn watched Santana and Brittany intently while everyone else just talked to each other. Benny looked at Santana and Brittany and furrowed his brows.
"Britt, is Tana gunna kiss your booboos cause that's what Mama does when I get hurt?" He asked innocently
Santana's eyes went wide as well as Rachel and Quinn. Brittany just laughed and answered him.
"Chief, I think my booboos need a bit more help than a kiss can do, so no, she's not going to."
"Well it might help you feel better" Benny replied going back to his game
Brittany quietly replied while looking Santana in the eyes "I'm sure it would, Chief."
Someone cleared their throat, breaking the eye contact. Brittany looked up at the person who made the noise.
"Oh hey Ma. What's up?" Brittany said
"I was about to ask you the same thing" Bonnie replied with a raised brow and slight smirk. Brittany's eyes went wide and her face went red, she quickly glanced down at her lap. She sighed in relief but sent her Ma a glare while Bonnie laughed. Santana and Quinn were confused while Rachel went red.
"Anyways I just came to tell you that the award ceremony starts in 10 minutes so hurry up and get over there." Bonnie said to Brittany then she turned to Santana and said, "Santana isn't it?" Santana nodded, "Well thank you Santana, for putting Brittany back together.
"No problem, Mrs. Pierce." Santana replied
"Oh please call me Bonnie." She replied and then looked up at everyone else "come on, all of you. We need to get to our seats. Santana, you can meet us over there when you're done. Move it, kids. Let's go Benny"
Rachel and Quinn were reluctant to leave but followed anyways. Now it was just Brittany and Santana. They stayed quiet till Brittany spoke up.
"You know, we never kissed during spin the bottle cause the pizza showed up and my lip is injured. Like Benny said, kisses help you feel better when you get a booboo. We could kill two birds with one stone." Brittany said with a smirk
"You think it's that easy?" Santana laughed
"I was hoping so" Brittany said quietly while subtly leaning in.
Santana met her eyes and leaned in as well. When their lips met it was so soft that Brittany wondered if it even happened. It lasted a few seconds till the heard footsteps and Santana backed away. A group of people walked by but Brittany kept eye contact with Santana. When the group was gone Santana let out a breath she didn't mean to hold.
Brittany stood up and simply said "Benny was right. Ready to go?" Santana just nodded her head and walked with Brittany. They didn't talk and then they split up when Brittany had to go to the stage and Santana went up the stands. Brittany sat down on one end of the stage along with the rest of the winners.
Sunday afternoon 1:30 pm:
"Alright folks!" said a man in jeans and a motocross t-shirt. He was standing on the stage, in front of a table covered in trophies, holding a microphone. Next to him was a beautiful woman in a very short dress. She would be the one to hand the awards to the winners and give them a kiss on the cheek. "Let's pass these awards out. All of you kids did a great job. Let's give them a hand." Applause, shouts and whistles rang out over the stands. All of Brittany's family, friends and fans were louder than everyone else.
The ceremony only lasted about 15 minutes. Brittany ended up with 2 large trophies, 1 medium trophy and 3 checks adding up to $800. She met everyone back at the trailer. Sadly a few fans showed up as well and Rachel went straight into fake girlfriend mode. Brittany glanced over at Santana but couldn't get her to meet her eyes. Santana just kept talking to Quinn about something. Thankfully the fans left shortly after Rachel wrapped herself around Brittany's arm.
Brent walked up and got the whole groups attention "Let's all go out to eat. My treat! What do you all say to Breadstix?"
Everyone got really excited. Brittany offered to pay with the money she just made but Brent wouldn't let her. They all jumped into their vehicles and drove off to meet up at the restaurant. Brittany just stayed in her motocross outfit but she did remove all of the hard gear except the boots.
Sunday afternoon 2:00 pm:
They got to push all their tables together so they could chat. After ordering their food Brent spoke up.
"So are you all excited about school this year?"
"No!" Bridgett said
Brittany laughed and said "Bridge, you'll love 7th grade."
"Don't lie to me Britt. You hated 7th grade." Bridgett replied looking at Brittany
"Well my circumstances were different but you'll love it." Brittany said a little quieter. Bridgett just hummed in response.
Suddenly Brittany felt a hand on her left leg. She looked over confused. Rachel looked back and leaned in to whisper something. So Britt leaned in as well.
"Are you going to tell them?" Rachel asked and Brittany looked at her indecisive.
"I don't know. I'm not sure how they'll react." Brittany whispered back into Rachel ear. She didn't notice how Rachel blushed because of her proximity and she didn't notice Quinn and Santana, who sat across from them, watching them carefully.
"I think they'll be fine about it but it's your decision." Rachel replied in whisper
Brittany felt a tap on her arm and looked to her right to see Benny looking at her so she leaned down not realizing that Rachel's hand was still on her leg or that Rachel was having a silent confrontation with Quinn and Santana.
"What's up, Chief?" She asked Benny quietly but not quite a whisper
"Are you kissing any of those girls?" He asked pointing at the 3 other girls.
Brittany felt awkward because she knew they could her him. (I mean he's 5! He doesn't get the whole whisper thing!) "Why are you asking me that?" she replied trying to avoid the question
"Because I think they all want to kiss you. They keep looking at you and then looking at each other." Brittany raised her brow and then felt Rachel take her hand off her leg. Suddenly really confused, she was grateful that the food came and Benny dropped the subject. She set back up in her seat not meeting anyone's eyes and took a bite of her lasagna.
"So B, you were amazing today!" Diego said from beside Santana
All Brittany could think was that she was grateful that Diego didn't hear Benny and that he was changing to direction of conversation without realizing it.
"Thanks, D. I'm really glad that you all came. I hope you guys weren't bored." She replied with a smile, looking straight at him. Ignoring the fact the she could now feel the others girls' eyes on her.
"Of course not, Brittany, it was incredible." Mike added
"Yeah girl, you were killing it today. I, personally, would love to come to another race." Mercedes spoke up
"Yeah! You are all more than welcome to join us whenever." Bonnie spoke up
"Yeah what Ma said. I really enjoyed having you all there." Britt added smiling. She glanced, quickly, from Rachel to Quinn and then Santana.
"Cool! So D told me about you trying out for the basketball team. I think the girls tryouts are the same day as the guys team." Mike said catching her attention
"Oh uh…yeah they uh…are on the same day. You're on the team aren't you?" Brittany responded nervously
"Yeah I am so are Puck and Finn. Plus D's gunna tryout. So we'll all be there on Friday." Mike replied
"Friday? That's when the cheerios tryouts are." Quinn spoke up
"Yeah that's right. I forgot that. Last year when I tried out for the basketball team we took up one side of the gym and cheerios were on the other end. Are you trying out for the cheerios?" Mike asked
"Yeah I am, so is Santana." Quinn replied
"Awesome!" Mike said
"Hey, Rachel are you gunna tryout for the cheerios?" Diego asked
"Oh uh no. Cheerleading not really my thing but I am trying out for the girls' basketball team. I know that I'm short but I really love basketball so I hope they will at least give me a chance." Rachel answered
"Oh Rachel, darling, height doesn't matter. All that matters is talent and sweetie you have that." Kurt said smiling
"Thanks Kurt"
"He's right Rach, you're really good. I'm sure you'll make it." Brittany said nudging Rachel with her shoulder. Santana and Quinn narrowed their eyes slightly.
"Awe Britt thanks. You know, I'm interested to find out which basketball team you're gunna be on." Rachel responded then her eyes went wide
"What are you talking about? She's gunna be on the girls' team." Quinn spoke up confused along with Diego, Santana, and Mike.
"Oh um…" Rachel stuttered while Brittany stayed quiet
"Well kids I hope you all enjoyed today. I hope you guys will join us for more of the races." Bonnie spoke up noticing the tension.
"It was wonderful, Bonnie. Thank you for dinner." Mercedes said trying to move things away from basketball. (cause she's awesome like that)
"Yes we should all be getting out of here. We are really crowding up the restaurant" Kurt said following Mercedes lead.
They both stood up along with all of the Pierces and Rachel. Mike got the hint and stood up followed by Diego who pulled Santana up with him. Quinn stood up as well even though she and Santana were still giving Rachel and Brittany confused looks. Benny ran over to Santana and grabbed her hand. Santana looked down a smiled. Benny motioned for her to follow him outside quickly.
"What is it Benny?" She asked once they were outside
"Do you wanna come over and play?" Benny said
"Oh um…sure but only if your parents and sister are okay with it." She replied
"Do you think Quinn could come over too? Rachel will be there."
"We can ask…" she was cut off by Bonnie
"Ask what?" Bonnie said looking from Benny to Santana then back
"Mama, can Tana and Quinn come over and play? Please!" Benny begged
"Sure if Britt is ok with it." Bonnie replied
"Ok with what, Ma?" Brittany said as she walked up to the small group
Benny jumped into Brittany's arms, "Britt, is Rachel coming over?"
"Um yeah I think so, why?" Brittany answered glancing at Santana who just looked at the ground
"Can Tana and Quinn come over too? Please please please!" Benny begged again
Brittany narrowed her eyes at him. She knows how sneaky Benny can be. "What are you up to, Chief?"
Benny looked at her with big blues eyes and shook his head "Nothing I just wanted all of you to play with me."
"Alright, but you need to make sure that they want to come over." She said putting home on the ground
"Tana already said yes, I'll go ask Quinn!" He said and ran off.
"You do realize that he's up to something, right, Sweetie?" Bonnie said smiling at Brittany like she knew something
Brittany narrowed her eyes again but said "Yeah, I wonder where he gets that from, Ma."
Bonnie laughed and was about to walk away when Benny came back dragging A confused Rachel and Quinn which only made Bonnie laugh harder. "Oh this is gunna be good" bonnie mumbled as she walked off.
Kurt walked over with a very confused look on his face. "What's going on over here? Are we going back to your house, Britt?"
"I have no idea what the plans are. Benny, here is in charge," She said with a blank face and pointed at Benny who was looking from girl to girl.
"Kurt!" they all heard and turned to see Mercedes walking towards them followed by the boys.
"Hey Cedes." Kurt replied
"What going on over here?" Cedes asked suspiciously looking at the group. Brittany immediately raised both her hands as in 'I have no idea'
"Hey Santana, Quinn, Mercedes you all ready to go? Mike and I want to play some Halo." Diego spoke up oblivious to the odd feel of the group
"Actually Benny wants Santana, Rachel and me to go back to his house and play" Quinn answered with a blank face
Kurt immediately started laughing followed by Mercedes. They both received odd looks. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Kurt cleared his throat and looked over to Mercedes. "Cedes, would you like to go window shopping with me"
As she stopped laughing she nodded her head and said "Yeah sure, Mike could you drop us off at the mall?"
"Sure." He replied then looked at Quinn and Santana "How are you two gunna get home"
Benny spoke up "I'll take care of that, Mike" Kurt and Cedes immediately burst out laughing along with Bonnie who wasn't far away and was totally eavesdropping. Mike and Diego just looked confused along with the rest of the group.
"Alright, Benny, have fun with that. Let's head out boys" Cedes said laughing
"Come on, the rest of you!" Bonnie hollered still laughing
They all climbed into the van. Brent had already left with the truck and trailer. The ride was pretty quiet except for Benny's humming and Bridgett's texting. Brittany didn't know what her little brother was up to but she knew tonight would defiantly be interesting.
