Santana lay in a lavish room aboard a ship to an island that was supposedly her home to rule one day. Princess, then Queen? That is what any normal person would be thinking, but not her. All she could think about was Brittany. She did not cry for the loss of her love, somehow the events that transpired the night before changed her. She was stronger not physically, but emotionally. She knew that she was gonna go back soon. She was sure of that, and the thought that when she came back she would be someone that no man or woman of any rank of royalty could forbid her from marrying the one she loved, it gave her strength in ways she could never imagine. She was sad, of course she was. Brittany was her everything, and they never spent more then a few hours apart. She was sad not for herself, but for her beautiful blond. She was so fragile, who would protect her from the world and the bad people in it? Who would sneak into her room when she was having a bad dream and whisper 'I am here, everything is okay. I will protect you,' in her ear? Who will wipe away her tears when her mother tells her things like there is no such thing as the tooth fairy? Who will make sure she soaks her feet after a hard dance class? Who will remind her which is her right hand? Who will understand exactly what she means when she says something like 'Did you know that dolphins are just gay sharks'?
The last thought made her smile as she stared at the stars threw the skylight in her room. At least they wouldn't change, they would still be the same stars that Brittany and her watched at night from the protection of their willow tree. She could see the change of colors in the sky as the sun began to rise.
-Knock-Knock-
She looked over at the door, afraid it might be her grandmother. The woman seemed nice and caring, but she also witnessed what happened last night. She might try to stop her from going back, stop her from loving Brittany, and maybe even force her to marry a man just like Brittany's mother. Still she had to be confronted at some point, so she just had to hold all her new found courage and get it over with. She swung her legs over the edge of the bed and onto hard wood floors, she straightened her night gown making sure nothing was accidentally revealed.
"You may come in," she said to whoever was on the other side of the closed door. She tried to sound as proper as she could, not wanting to leave a bad impression.
The door opened and a boy with dark brown hair and hazel eyes walked in. He seemed to be just a little bit taller then she was, he wore a a dark blue and red blazer with a matching tie, and a kind smile. When he entered the room and closed the door behind him, he bowed his head. 'Wow, Brittany was right having someone bow before you, is really annoying.' On her way onto the ship after leaving the castle, she witnessed her royalty at work. One by one as she passed everyone bowed.
"Hello princesa, I am Blaine. I am your servant, if I may say, it is an honor to serve you."
Santana seemed unfazed by this comment. "Please, I know how this works. I know that it is your job to say that kind of stuff, but don't worry I wont tell anyone if you hate your job. Also please don't bow, I have had to do that too many times in my life to make you suffer that as well."
Now Blaine was the one confused, no one of royalty had ever spoken to him like that or asked him not to bow, if anything some even made him bow more or even get on his knees. "I assure you that I don't say that it is an honor because it is my job, it is an honor because you are the long lost heir of La Isla Luna, and..." Blaine decided to stop mid sentence, afraid that as kind as his new princess was she may be upset with him, if he had spoken his true thoughts.
"And what? You can speak freely with me Blaine." she said standing up off the bed, and taking a step forward, still sensing his hesitation. "I don't want a servant, but I could use a friend."
She had never had a need for friends back home, probably because she had Brittany, and she was the center of her world, but this was a new place and she didn't want to admit it, but she didn't want to be alone.
"It is just that due to your arrival I was taken away from serving your cousin Prince Ricardo. No offense to your royal family tree, but he was not the best of people. That is why I was so happy when the Queen sent word that she had found you, because he was going to be made king since the Queen had no heir, and he is horrible. I have seen more sincerity with you in the last few minutes then I have in the years of serving him."
"I see, well you need not worry, because I have no knowledge of this royal family tree you are speaking of or the people in it, so I take no offense. I am happy that I could relieve you of serving a horrible person. I know how it feels to serve someone who doesn't deserve you. Lucky for you I also know what it is like to serve someone who is kind, generous, and understanding, so I hope to treat you like she treated me."
Out of happiness and habit Blaine bowed again, before correcting himself. "Sorry, I guess that is gonna take some getting used to."
"No problem, I will continue to remind you," Santana said with a smile. "Could you tell me a little about the island, the people, habitat and such?"
"Of course princesa..."
"Santana," she corrected.
"Yes sorry of course Princesa Santana..."
"No just Santana," she corrected again.
"Oh, ok Santana. Well La Isla Luna is a beautiful tropical place, it is a very big island, one of the biggest around, and it is rich with sand and cool clear blue beaches. It is mostly known for its exotic cats and precious jewels. Although lately people world wide are knowing us by Dark Moon Bliss, it is a coff..."
"Wait! Dark Moon Bliss as in the coffee? It is made here?" the new princess asked excitedly. "So like I would never run out, because it is made there?"
"Yes," Blaine answered confused as to what the big fuss was. It is the same coffee everyone drinks on La Isla Luna, even the poor drink that coffee. 'Too each their own'
"I don't think you understand, in Dashania Dark Moon Bliss is only for the rich, the only reason I was able to drink it, was because I worked in the castle. That stuff is like crack."
"Really? Everyone drinks it here, from the lowest to the highest."
"Wow, well anyways continue, or I am gonna make you talk about it for the rest of the trip and give myself an eargasm," she said urging him to continue.
Blaine was confused by the term 'eargasm,' but continued on, "we have the best army around, gifted lower class men, all men from high class and all men of royalty are trained at a young age to defend La Isla Luna. We have only ever had one major battle, and the enemy was slaughtered. I believe your father was leading that battle."
"My father?"
"Yes, all royal men learn to fight, but most are not very good so they take credit for what the other warriors do. Not your father though, he was a talented warrior, I often heard my parents talking about his gift with a sword. That is why the whole island was devastated when he died, well except for your cousins father, he was an evil man, much like Ricardo."
"Wow my father was a warrior, the only version of my father that I ever knew was a craftsman. Even then I dont remember much, he died when I was two."
"I am very sorry Santana, we all mourned the loss of your father. My father said he was a great man, and would have made a great king. He always said he was kind, brave, fair, honest and very loved by all. Like I am sure you will be too. If you are anything like your father, which I can already tell you are then you will make a great Queen."
"Thanks Blaine, I hope I can be like him. I need to, it is my destiny, I must become someone strong enough to defeat an army."
"That is very noble, but why? La Isla Luna has not had any problems with battles since the one your father won, and that was years ago. I believe that all other places fear us, so you need not worry about battles."
"No it isn't a battle against La Isla Luna, it is one against Dashania."
"I do not understand. Why would you need to worry about that place anymore? You are no longer there, they are no longer your problem."
"Blaine if I tell you this, then you can never breathe a word to anyone ever," she walked closer so that she could be right in front of him. "You have to promise me that this will stay between us. Soon everyone will know, but only when I am ready."
"Of course. I promise not to tell, and not just because it is my duty as your servant, but also because you are my friend," Blaine loved gossip, of course this was one piece of gossip he would never share, but he was eager to hear none the less.
So Santana sat back down on the bed, patting the spot next to her as a signal for Blaine to join her. She told him all about the prophecy, her birthmark, about her love for Brittany, and the impending battle that she was destined to fight in. Blaine hung on word for word, loving every detail, even shedding a few tears when it came to the parts about Santana trying to let her love for Brittany go. He didn't once comment on her sexuality, he just listened. Santana liked that, someone who would just listen to what she had to say. She knew Blaine would be one of her biggest supporters in the future to come. She really needed that.
"So that's the plan, train to be a warrior, become queen, fight in the battle against her evil uncle Elec, and win Brittany's hand in marriage?" He asked, and Santana nodded, trying to save her voice, having talked for the last hour. "Do you miss her?"
"Terribly, a part of me feels like my heart is ripped in two. One half is with me, and the other half with her. I guess that's why we have these birthmarks, but the other part of me is holding on to the fact that I know we will be reunited again. It is written in stone," she laughed at the expression. "Well actually it is written on paper, but you know what I mean."
"I know how you feel, I miss my boyfriend so much it kills me. Our love isn't prophecised or marked in our skin but he is it for me," Blaine said sadly as he played with the ring on his finger. "Maybe once your the queen, and you and Brittany are together again then I can actually marry him."
"I would like to do that, where is he know?"
"He works in the fields passing out water to the workers who are getting the coffee beans. He hates that job, but it is the only job that he could get. No one wanted to hire him, because he is different."
"Different how?"
"They say he isn't man enough for a real job, because he speaks a little femininely, and he loves clothes."
"What is his name?" Santana asked, having a brilliant idea.
"Kurt... Kurt Hummel."
"Well my first order of business as princesa de La Isla Luna will be to hire Kurt to work as my personal stylist," she said smiling. "Princesses there have one right? Brittany had one. I really hate dresses, and my daily attire consists of black pants and a white button down, but I guess I could use a little help looking a little more royal."
Blaine laughed. "Yes you can have one, I think they were just going to give you the same one as your grandmother, but I am sure she wouldn't deny you the right of having your own."
"Perfect, then I shall discuss it with mi abuela right away. First I should probably get dressed," she said turning looking for a chest or closet, some place where clothes go.
"Sorry im afraid we only have dresses for you, I guess the queen doesn't know your style just yet," Blaine said and went into the closet to grab a dress to put over the princess night gown. "Thank you so much Santana for helping me with Kurt. I do really appreciate it."
"It is no problem, it is nice to know someone who loves differently like Brittany and I. So thank you for confiding in me," she said watching Blaine try to find the least girly and more sexy of the dresses. "I am sure I can persuade mi abuela, being the long lost grandchild and all."
Blaine smiled at the princess, as he grabbed a slim red dress to dress her in. "I am sure you can, but I think first we should get you to the dining room for some desyuno first. Breakfast should be all ready for you, and im sure your grandmother has been waiting for you."
"Sounds perfect, do you think there will be bread sticks? My mom made the best bread sticks?" Santana asked, feeling a little odd being dressed by someone else, since she has been in charge of dressing herself since she was about 2.
"Ha that's probably because she was born on the island and all islanders make the best bread sticks in all the world," he said leading a fully dressed Santana out of her room, and to the dining room.
On there way outside onto the deck to get to the dining room, Santana halted. "Is that it?"
Blaine looked in the direction she was looking at an smiled. "Santana welcome to La Isla Luna."
Santana looked at him smiling, before looking back at the Island in the distance. 'I wish you could see this Britt, you would love it. It reminds me of you, sunshine and blue everywhere.'
Brittany lay in bed starring at the dark ceiling, as thoughts of last nights events raced threw her mind.
After the nights scene, the Queen ignored her and pretended like none of it happened. Telling her guests that it was all a joke, a hoax for their amusement. She told everyone to enjoy the rest of the party. Being the queen her guests did just that. Now mingling with her guests, Brittany took this opportunity to escape away to her room. She stood in front of the mirror, trying hard to remember all the times Santana had helped her put an outfit on, so that she can imagine feeling her touch again. She closed her eyes and tried to imagine that Santana was standing right behind her, whispering sweet nothings in her ear.
-Knock-Knock-
Brittany was taken out of her memory, and Santana disappeared. A single tear escaped down her cheek. "Come in," she said defeated as she sat in a near by chair.
She had expected her mother, or even Mike her dance instructor, but never did she expect who was actually about to come threw her bedroom door.
Prince Finn poked his goofy head in, before bringing his whole body in. "That wasn't some kind of act downstairs was it?"
A part of her felt like it was her duty to lie at this very moment, but she was just too defeated. Santana was gone and none of it mattered anymore. "No, it wasn't an act."
Finn's earlier intuition was right, he just needed to know for sure before he put his plan into action. He walked up to the princess and got on one knee. "Brittany will you marry me?"
Brittany gave him a look like the prince had just grown two heads. 'Is he really that dumb?'
"Finn did you not just here what I said, let me spell it out for you. I am in love with Santana, she is my destiny," she said easily turning away from the kneeling prince.
"No Brittany you don't understand, I have a plan. A plan that will benefit us both,"
At this point Brittany was only half listening, and that was really only because he was talking about something other then apples. "And what plan is that? Face it Finn you will not trick me into marrying you."
"I don't wish to trick you princess, merely everyone else."
Now she was intrigued. "I am listening?"
"Marry me, and you and Santana can be together."
"How exactly does that work? And what do you get out of it?" She asked. 'Ewww... he better not ask to watch me and San kiss and do other stuff. I don't even know what that stuff would be, but I know I wouldn't want him watching.'
"We are both in love with people we cant have," he said sadly.
Then it suddenly clicked. All the apple talk, it was because he was in love. I guess the same way I always managed to sneak San in our conversations, that's why he always snuck apples into ours. "Your in love with the Berry girl? Whats her name?... Rachel... yeah Rachel Berry of Berry Farms and Orchards. It all makes sense."
He blushed a little, and for the first time Brittany actually felt like she could like this guy. Not in a like like kinda way, but he could be a good friend.
"Yes, I am sorry if I bored you with all my apple chatter, I just cant get her off my mind. She is in everything I see, the trees, food, the earth, music, everything."
"I know what you mean," Brittany smiled as her thoughts went back to Santana.
"So will you do it, will you marry me? It would get your mother off your back and my father off mine. Then we could rule, and change everything that is against being with the ones we truly love. We only have to be affectionate in public, and then when were are home we can just go our separate ways. Maybe over time we can be friends even."
Brittany pondered it, it would get her mother off her back, and she could actually go after Santana, bring her home and spend the rest of her life with her. She smiled at the thought of spending every last day of her life with the girl she loved. She had to do this, she needed Santana so bad, she couldn't keep her mother from forcing her to marry, and she couldn't change rules that have been in place for centuries, not at least while she is just a princess, and not alone. She needed the help, and maybe Finn could be trusted. After all he had as much to lose and gain as she did.
"Okay lets do it, I will marry you."
They looked at each other and smiled, and Finn couldn't help but pick up the Princess and capture her in a bear hug. He whispered a million thank you's in her ear, and they began to plot. The one main rule being that they couldn't tell anyone of their plan, not Rachel and not Santana. Finn made it clear that anyone could accidentally tell and jeopardize the plan. Brittany hoped she was doing the right thing, but Santana wasn't there so she couldn't ask. So she had to have faith and hope that she was making the right choice for her and Santana.
Later that night as she stared at the dark ceiling, thoughts racing threw her mind she whispered the same thing her love said to her earlier in the evening. "Don't be sad my love, I will be back, and we can be together forever." She hoped that somehow Santana could hear her and as a single tear fell down her cheek, she whispered one last thing into the wind. "Don't worry my love, I have a plan."
What did you think? It is more of a filler chapter, to hold up the chapters to come, but it was necessary to the plot. Do you like the addition of Blaine? And Kurt in future chapters? How do you feel about Prince Finn now? Will he stay true to his word? Do you think Brittana will survive this scheme? How do you feel about some Faberry, because I think I have an interesting plot twist, just thought of it now and I think it is gold.
