"Who's gonna be captain?" Puck asked the group.

"Dunno. Since it was my idea. I should be one. And, everyone else should vote for the next captain," Mike responded.

Everyone nodded his or her head in agreement.

After some deliberation, it was decided that Santana would be the captain.

"No. I don't even want to be here. I just want to go home and sleep. I'm tired!" Santana whined.

"San-tana, you'll have fun!" Brittany said. She almost slipped though. Tina never called Santana, San.

Santana narrowed her eyes on Tina.

"What's your point, Cohen-Chang? I'm perfectly fine. I enjoy the confines of my own bed. I find that fun. This," Santana swirls her pointer finger in the air to suggest their surroundings, "this, is not fun. This is putting gear on and sweating our balls off. And having balls filled with paint shot at opponents. Do explain… bed or this?" Santana concluded.

Brittany was at a loss for words. Santana seemed so calm, yet so off. She definitely saw through the façade.

"You'll see. You may think this isn't fun. And don't get me wrong, I love sleeping in."

"You can say that again," Mike chimed in.

"Anyways, I say try this. You can get your aggression out. You may be acting all dandy and fine, but deep inside you're hurting. We all get it. We're all family. We all love you. You and Satan." Brittany winked at Santana.

Santana rolled her eyes playfully. "You may have a point. I guess it could be fun shooting people." She said with a mischievous smirk.

"Uh oh. What'd we create?" Puck mumbled.

Quinn hit his shoulder. "Shut up, Puckerman."

"Fine, I'll be the next captain… Leggo!" Santana fist pumped the air.


The teams were Mike, Puck, Kurt, Sugar, and Rachel on one team, and the other was Santana, Quinn, Mercedes, and Kurt and Tina.

By the end of two hours, and multiple games later, Santana's team without a doubt won.

"Wow, thanks guys. That was really fun." Santana said excitedly.

"Of course you thought so. You basically beat everyone up. Our team is sore as hell." Puck complained.

"Just because you lost, doesn't mean you have to be a big baby." Santana smirked.

"If I could say something." Rachel interjected. Everyone groaned and rolled their eyes.

"I understand you're hurting Santana, but you didn't have to take it out on us. Seriously, if Brittany were here she'd never let you get away with this." Her eyes widened. She didn't mean for that part to escape her mouth.

Everyone gasped and slowly rotated their head towards Santana.
Santana stood there, calm as ever.

Quinn and Tine, closest to Santana, started positioning themselves to get ready incase Santana were to pounce.

Santana took a deep breath in and pursed her lips. She took one step forward and Quinn and Tina braced themselves.

"Well, Rachel," everyone knew that wasn't a good sign. Santana never used Rachel's real name. "She's not here, now is she? She left me. Not only me, but everyone else too. She told no one where she was going. So excuse me if I'm a little bitter right now." She took another step forward.

Tina (Brittany) looked at Quinn giving her a knowing look.

Before Santana could make another move, Brittany grabbed Santana's waist. Just in time too. Santana was about to tackle Rachel.

"Let me go, Tina! The fucking Hobbit deserves it!" Santana yelled. But, Brittany wasn't letting go.

"No! Santana, she didn't mean to. Calm down! I'm not letting go unless you calm down!" Brittany said as calmly as possible.

"No!" Santana turned around into Brittany's arms and started hitting her. Brittany knew Santana thought it was Tina, but in a way, she thought she deserved this. She did after all leave Santana – the love of her life.

Quinn was about to grab Santana off of Brittany, but Brittany just shook her head.

"Shhh. Calm down, Santana."

"No! She fucking left me! My heart belongs to her! I have no heart anymore! It's gone! She's gone!" Santana sobbed while still hitting Brittany.

"Shhh. We're all here for you. We'll always be here. Shhh."

"Sh-she's gone. Th-he love o-of my li-ife." Santana collapsed into Brittany's arm. She had enough fight and had nothing left in her.

"She's gone." Santana let out barely audible but everyone heard.

People knew it was time to go home. Tina, Mercedes, Quinn, and Kurt took Santana back to Tina's house.

A few hours later, Santana was asleep.

"I can't believe Brittany. How could she do this to Santana?" Kurt said in disbelief.

"I don't know. Especially after everything San has done for her. She can't be this naïve. She must have known what could have happened if she left." Quinn said getting mad.

"Maybe, maybe there was a reason." Tina (Brittany) chimed in.

"What do you mean? What good reason? My girl's heartbroken. Brittany just left like it was nothing. Like, Santana was nothing to her. Like we were nothing to her." Mercedes voice started to tremble.

"I, I just think what if Brittany thought it was better to let Santana go on her own path and that distance was hard."

Everyone stared at Brittany.

Quinn narrowed her eyes. "You know something, don't you."

Brittany started to panic. She already gave too much away. Shit, shit, shit!

"N-no. I don't know a-anything." She gulped.

Quinn started slowly walking towards Brittany in a predatory kind of way.

"Spill it. Now." She demanded.

"I-I kno-ow n-othing." Brittany's eyes widened.

Quinn clenched her jaw and threw herself onto Brittany. She pinned her down on the floor yelling at her to tell her what she knew.

"Tell me now!" Quinn seethed.

Before Brittany could answer, she saw Quinn raise her fist and then everything went black.


"…me alive. I only miss you when I'm breathing!"

Stupid alarm clock.

"Baby, don't you love this song?"

Brittany looked up and immediately smiled.

"It's nice."

"I know. It reminds me of you." Santana blushed.

"Aw! You're too cute!" Brittany propped herself up and took a look at those luscious lips. She then looked into the most gorgeous brown eyes.

"You're staring." Santana teased.

"I can't help it." Brittany said seriously. She closed the gap between them.

The kiss was passionate and held so much love.

When air became a need, they rested their foreheads together.

"I love you so much Santana. You have no idea."

Santana gave Brittany a quick peck. "I love you too."
