Chapter 10: A Day With Skylar

Brittany was startled awake when she felt someone jump on top of her.

"Unless that is Santana, leave me alone." Brittany groaned while burying herself deeper in her bed.

Skylar laughed at her sister's reaction.

"You have been spending too much time with your girlfriend, you're starting to act like her. Come on, first thing we're doing today is running. I miss my jogging buddy."

Brittany made no indication that she was going to move anytime soon.

"I'm giving you 5 seconds to get up or else…" Skylar threatened her.

"Or else what?" Brittany asked, still refusing to move from her spot.

"I don't think you want to find out…" Skylar trailed off, "5, 4, 3, 2, 1."

Suddenly, Brittany found herself drenched in ice-cold water. She shot out of her bed and glared at her younger sister.

"Skylar, what the hell did you do that for?!" Brittany yelled as she tried desperately to stop her wet tank top from clinging to her body.

"I tried to warn you." Skylar shrugged.

"What's going on?" Sam came running in when he heard his sister yell. He took one glance at Brittany and fell to the floor laughing.

"This is not funny Sam!" Brittany fumed.

She watched Sam try to catch his breath but as soon as he took another look at her, he broke down laughing once again. Brittany frowned and stomped away into her bathroom.

"Five minutes!" Skylar yelled at her.

Once Brittany changed into her workout clothes, she headed into the kitchen for a light snack before meeting Skylar outside.

"You haven't been running with me for a while, are you sure you can still keep up?" Skylar teased.

"Oh please, it would take a miracle for me not to keep up." Brittany smirked.


"I totally beat you!"

"Oh please, I got here first by like a whole two seconds. Face it little sister, you'll never be able to beat me when it comes to running."

They had run for 4 miles before deciding to race each other on the last stretch. Skylar had come close to finally beating Brittany but it seemed Brittany had gained a burst of speed the last few feet because Brittany had barely managed to beat her.

Finally admitting defeat, Skylar headed inside, followed by Brittany.

"I'm starving, how about we get cleaned up then we can go to lunch and talk?" Brittany asked her sister.

"Sounds like a plan."


"Thank you." Brittany told the waitress that had just brought their food before turning to Skylar, "So what did you want to talk about?"

"You should move to L.A. after summer ends." Skylar blurted out.

Brittany furrowed her brow in confusion.

"You want me to move in with Santana? I mean I really like her but that is definitely too soon."

"No, that's not what I meant. Look Brittany, there's something you should know…"

After Skylar finished explaining everything she knew, she watched Brittany lean back in her chair and take everything in. A few minutes passed without either of them saying anything until Skylar couldn't take it anymore.

"Please say something." Skylar pleaded.

"I'm such a horrible sister."

Those were definitely not the words Skylar expected to come out of her sister's mouth.

"What are you talking about? Brittany, you are not a horrible sister, you're like the best sister someone could ask for."

"But I am. How have I never noticed how terrible I made you feel? I mean there must have been signs right? Skylar, I'm sorry for every time I made you feel like I regretted my decision to move with you to New York. The reason I never wanted to talk about it was because I didn't want to make you feel like you owed me something. Oh God, and this whole time I was just making it worse." Brittany put her head in her hands.

"Hey, you have nothing to apologize for, okay? You didn't know and I know I should've told you about the L.A. letter I found but I didn't know how to bring it up. I mean, I made you give up your dreams."

Brittany shook her head vigorously.

"You didn't make me do anything. It was my choice. Yes I had written the letter, accepting the offer but I still hadn't made up my mind about going. You and I both know mom would have preferred I choose MIT but let me tell you this. Even if she was 100% on board with me moving to L.A. to pursue a dancing career, I still wouldn't have gone and you want to know why? Because my little sister needed me."

Skylar tried to hold back tears as she got up off her seat and made to move next to Brittany. She gave her sister a tight hug.

"Thank you." Skylar whispered in Brittany's ear.

"You have nothing to thank me for. Look, maybe I'm not a professional dancer but I'm still dancing which is all that matters to me."

"I was serious you know."

"About what?"

"You moving to L.A."

Brittany froze. With everything that Skylar had revealed, she had forgotten that Skylar had said that in the beginning.

"Are you trying to get rid of me?" Brittany jokingly asked.

"No. I'm grateful to you for moving to New York with me but I'm going to be 18 in a few months. You moved with me because I was a minor and I needed an adult with me. I graduated high school and I start NYU after summer and hopefully Columbia after that. It's no longer necessary for you to be in New York with me. You finished college, the only thing you have left besides me is your teaching job and that's not your dream. Maybe I don't need to feel guilty for you giving up your dream 4 years ago but you no longer have to give it up. You can go to L.A. and see if that studio still wants you and if not I'm sure there's plenty of other opportunities for you over there."

This time it was Brittany's turn to hold back her tears. Her mind was racing with all the possibilities. She knew Skylar was right. Her sister no longer needed her and although she liked her teaching job, she didn't love it. There was still one thing that hadn't changed over the years though and that was what her mom would think.

As if sensing Brittany's inner turmoil, Skylar grabbed Brittany's hand to get her attention.

"Look, I'm not saying you have to move right away, I'm just saying that you should think about it."

Skylar could see that her sister still seemed worried about something.

"Look, if you're worried about what Santana will think and moving too fast, just tell her it's not because of her."

"No it's not that, I'm just worried about mom. Anyway, I love Santana but I wouldn't make such a big decision on our relationship alone. If I do decide to move, she won't be the only reason. What?" Brittany asked when she noticed the weird smile on her sister's face.

"Okay first, mom will be fine with it and second, you said you love her."

Brittany smiled. She hadn't noticed until Skylar pointed it out but the words had tumbled out so naturally. There was no doubt in her mind that she loved Santana Lopez.

"So when are you going to tell her."

Brittany shrugged.

"I don't know, you don't think it's too early?"

Skylar let out an exasperated sigh.

"I swear if I hear you ask one more time if something is too soon I'm going to slap you. There is no guide on when you have to do certain things in a relationship. If it feels right then it's not too soon. Now I'm going to ask again, when are you going to tell her?"

"Well I want it to be special. I almost told her when we were at the lake but Sam interrupted which I'm glad about. I just want a night with no interruptions."

Skylar face lit up.

"I have an idea but we're going to need help…"


"So it's happening on Friday, right?"

"What's happening on Friday?"

Brittany and Skylar jumped in surprise. They had just been finalizing their plan and hadn't noticed Santana walk up behind them.

"Nothing!" Brittany said a little too loudly.

Santana gave her a skeptical look. Luckily, Skylar was able to jump in before Brittany said or did anything else that would make Santana suspicious.

"We're just planning a race on Friday so I can finally kick her ass in running."

Skylar's excuse seemed to satisfy Santana.

"Are you two ready? Our reservation is at 7:00."

"Yeah but you seriously didn't have to take us anywhere fancy. Skylar and I would be perfectly fine eating at a burger joint or at the diner we always go too."

"Yeah Santana, you didn't have to do anything special."

"I know but we haven't really spent time together just the three of us and I figure I'm going to be seeing a lot of Skylar in New York when I visit so we should get to know each other better."

"You're amazing, you know that?" Brittany leaned in to kiss Santana.

"Okay, enough of that. I love you guys but can you keep the PDA to a minimum, it just reminds me of my sucky love life." Skylar grumbled.

"What? No hot guys in New York?" Santana teased.

"Oh there's plenty of hot guys, it's finding one that's not a complete asshole that I have a problem with."

"Well maybe you'll meet someone special here, you never know." Santana replied, not breaking eye contact with Brittany.

Skylar rolled her eyes at the goofy smiles her sister and Santana had on their faces. When she saw that they were about to kiss again, she abruptly turned around and started walking away.

"Come on, don't want to miss our reservation!" She yelled over her shoulder.


The three of them had just finished dinner and were now enjoying dessert. Skylar was red in the face from embarrassment. Brittany had been telling Santana non-stop embarrassing stories about her.

"No way!" Santana laughed.

"I swear! Skylar wanted to be a superhero when she grew up so she would wrap her blanket around her shoulders like a cape, put a diaper on her head, and go running around the house yelling 'I'm diaper head and I'm here to save the day!'"

"I guess diaper head will make an appearance if I ever hurt your sister, huh?" Santana teased Skylar.

Skylar scowled.

"I can't wait until dad gets here then he can tell embarrassing stories about you." Skylar grumbled to her sister.

"Your dad's coming to visit?" Santana asked with wide eyes.

"Oops," Skylar said, "I'm just going to go to the restroom."

Brittany watched her sister scurry away while Santana looked at her expectantly.

"Britt?" Santana questioned.

"Our parents come down every year for labor day weekend. I swear I was going to tell you but it's still a few weeks away so I didn't see the point of telling you early and have you freak out."

"I am not freaking out." Santana scoffed.

"Honey, I can see the panic in your eyes."

A smile graced Santana's face when she heard Brittany's term of endearment but she quickly wiped it away when she remembered what they were talking about.

"I swear I'm not freaking out, it's just I've never been in a relationship where I had to 'meet the parents' with the exception of Chelsea's parents and they hated me."

"My parents aren't going to hate you. All they care about is that I'm happy."

"Wait, have you told them about me?"

"Not exactly. I didn't tell them about you but they know I met someone. I was talking to them last week on Skype and they said they could tell because of how happy I looked. What about you? Have you told your parents?"

"No but my mom knows something's up. She said I sounded different on the phone but like a good kind of different. I'm actually going to visit my parents in Ohio before heading back to L.A so I thought I would just tell them about you then. I'm warning you now though, my mom is probably going to want to fly to New York with me as soon as possible to meet you."

"That's okay, parents love me." Brittany grinned.

"I have no doubt about that." Santana said as she leaned in for a kiss.

Once Skylar returned, they quickly finished their dessert. Santana paid the check but only after Brittany made her promise to let her pay next time they went out, which Santana reluctantly agreed to, before they headed home.
