The song is a Tonight Tonight cover by Tyler Ward & Alex G.
It's finally Mason's birthday. Santana is currently setting everything up in the house. She put Quinn in charge of hanging a couple streamers, while she bakes the cake, Santana went to check on Quinn to see her progress what she finds makes her laugh hysterically. She finds Quinn wrapped up in the streamers, she keeps spinning and streamers are getting more tangled. It's a disaster.
"Need some help?"
"No! I got this!"
"You know the streamers are suppose to hang from the ceiling right?"
Quinn turns to glare at Santana.
"screw you."
Santana laughs "you already did. And i returned the favor. You're welcome."
Quinn huffs "either help me or go play your guitar or something. You're bugging me!"
Santana holds her hands up in surrender and walks over to help Quinn get out of the mess she's somehow got herself into. Quinn throws her arms up and sighs.
"I quit. I suck at this!"
Santana laughs lightly "relax. You're fine" she kisses Quinn's forehead and walks to grab her guitar.
"Will me singing you a song cheer you up?"
Quinn shrugs her shoulders "it might"
Santana smiles "alright I'll see what I can do, if you know the words you can sing along."
And with that Santana starts the song
"It's been a really really messed up week
Seven days of torture seven days of bitter
And my girlfriend went and cheated on me
She's a California dime but it's time for me to quit her"
Quinn smiles and joins in right away
"La la la whatever la la la it doesn't matter la la la oh well la la la"
Quinn decides to take the chorus which makes Santana smile
Quinn: We're going at it tonight tonight
There's a party of the rooftop on top the world
Tonight tonight
And We're dancing on the edge Hollywood sign
Santana:I don't know if I'll make it but watch how good ill fake it
Quinn: It's all right, all right, tonight tonight
Quinn: I woke up with a strange tattoo
Not sure how I got it, not a dollar in my pocket
It kinda looks just like you mixed with Zach Galifianakis
La la la whatever la la la it doesn't matter la la la oh well la la la
Santana:We're going at it tonight tonight
There's a party on the roof top on top of the world Tonight tonight
And we're dancing on the edge of the Hollywood sign
Quinn: I don't know if I'll make it but watch how good i fake it
Santana: It's all right all right, tonight tonight
Just don't stop keep the beat pumpin
Keep the beat up, let's drop the beat down
It's my party dance if I want to
We can get crazy let it all out
Quinn: it's you and me and were running this town
And it's me and you and were shaking the ground
Ain't nobody gonna tell us to go cuz this is our show
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Santana: Just don't stop keep the beat pumpin
Keep the beat up, let's drop the beat down
It's my party dance if I want to
We can get crazy let it all out
Quinn: it's you and me and were running this town
And it's me and you and were shaking the ground
Ain't nobody gonna tell us to go cuz this is our show
We're going at it tonight tonight
There's a party of the rooftop on top of world tonight tonight
And we're dancing on the edge of the Hollywood sign
Santana: I don't know if I'll make but watch how good i fake it
Quinn: it's all right all right tonight tonight
Santana: Just don't stop keep the beat pumpin
Keep the beat up, let's drop the beat down
It's my party dance if I want to
We can get crazy let it all out
After the song both girls break out laughing.
"That did cheer me up but Mason won't be happy if you burn his cake, go!"
Santana jumps up and runs to the kitchen to save the cake. Quinn hears the door open and looks up to see Rachel, Mason, and who she is assuming are Rachel's dads, followed by Finn, Kurt and Blaine, and who she is also assuming to their parents. I hope my assumptions are right Quinn thought. Quinn is greeted by a hug by everyone and Rachel introduces everyone to Quinn and vice versa. Santana comes out and says hi and then disappears back into the kitchen to continue cooking.
A few minutes later Quinn follows her in there. Quinn walks behind Santana rests her head on her back and puts her hands on Santana's stomach under her shirt and rubs patterns on her stomach. Santana keeps moving around to ice the cake but Quinn is making it very hard to do so every time Santana moves Quinn makes a noise.
"Stop moving."
"I'm icing a cake." Santana deadpans.
"Stop"
"You stop. I was moving first" Quinn laughs so Santana turns around so she's facing Quinn.
"What's got you so clingy to me all of a sudden?"
Quinn looks up confused "nothing you're just warm, and I'm not one for Ohio weather. I'm a west coast girl which means I never see temperature lower than 70 in the winter"
Santana laughs "glad I could change that. One year we all went to Colorado during our winter break to go skiing. Kurt cried like a sissy lala because it was freezing. It was so funny and he didn't understand how I was running from the inside to the hottub in my bikini. He also couldn't figure out how to ski. Dude was a like a baby giraffe trying to walk, I'll have to look for the video when I get back to base and I'll show it to you."
Quinn laughs and Santana kisses her nose. Santana squeezes Quinn super hard the releases her to let the other know that the food is done and it's time to eat.
The party went off with a blast. Everyone was having a good time Santana and Mason spent most of their time building things with the Lego sets he got. When the two are together they are often in their own little world. Neither caring what someone has to say nor anything, that's mostly because they ignore whoever is talking to them.
"Are they always like that?"
Rachel looks up from her phone and answers
"Yeah. Good luck trying to get a word in edge wise. Those two are as thick as thieves. They're each other's best friends."
"Hmm" Quinn responses with her eyes never leaving Santana.
"Why?"
"No reason I was just curious. I think it's cute how she'll spend ninety nine percent of her time with him." Quinn shrugs her shoulders.
"Rachel?"
"Yeah?"
"Wanna take a picture? I don't think we've taken any."
Rachel smiles "Yes! let me grab my iPad."
Rachel gets up and returns a few seconds later with her iPad. They take a few pictures and Rachel posts them on twitter with the caption "Spent the holidays with my family and new friend QUINNFTW!"
Quinn smiles "you know the tabloids are going to go crazy now right?"
Rachel smiles and shrugs her shoulders "eh they'll get over it" both girls laughed. They then called Santana in and had a mini photoshoot that was later joined by Mason.
Once the party was over and everything was cleaned Santana and Mason set up the tent in the living room in front of the fire place. They had what seemed like every extra blanket and pillow in there with them. Rachel and Quinn had attempted to join them and after being shot down multiple times they decided to go to bed.
Santana and Mason were up most of the night playing with Legos and watching movies. Santana got out her phone and had a mini photoshoot with him. She took one of the pictures and posted it on with the caption "The best Christmas gift is being able to be home and spend time with the ones I love". The duo was up until Rachel had enough of their giggling and yelling and threatened to shut down their adventure. They finally settled down and fell asleep watching Shrek. They've seen the movie so many times that they both knew the whole movie line for line.
Quinn was the first one up the next morning. She got up showered, got ready, and packed up her things before heading downstairs to make breakfast. She made me way to the kitchen and started the coffee and decided to just have a bowl of cereal, she was sure Rachel and Mason were going to leave Rachel got up so they would probably eat on their way to airport, and she had noticed Santana wasn't much of a breakfast eater unless it was after 9:30am and it was only 7 something.
Quinn had her laptop out and was checking her twitter, she retweeted and favorited the tweets that Santana and Rachel posted last night. She changed her profile picture to the one her and Santana had taken on the plane when they first met, the one where Quinn made a serious face while Santana laughed at her. Then she posted a picture of her, Rachel, Mason, and Santana with a caption "enjoyed the holidays with some of my new favoritest people SSGTPEZ and RACHELB." She loved sending twitter and her fans into a frenzy.
Like clockwork around 9:30am, Santana and Mason had woke up and were digging through the kitchen for breakfast. Rachel came down shortly later ready to take off. So Mason took his cereal to go.
"I'll see you later bud, be good for mom. I love you."
"Love you too Aunt Tana, next time we'll come to you."
Santana smiled "sounds good buddy" and ruffled his hair.
She stood up to give Rachel a hug "I'll see you later too. Sorry I can't come to New York."
"It's okay San I understand. We will just have to skype the ball drop together." Santana laughs "of course."
Santana walked both of them to the car and waved as the backed out the driveway then made her way back inside and decided to change into her uniform and pack up her stuff. After she was done she went back down into the kitchen and poured her some cereal. Quinn watched her as she just pushed the cereal around in the bowl.
"What's bugging you?"
"Nothing"
Quinn raised her eyebrow "you sure? You've only eaten half of your cereal and you've been pushing it around and staring at it for the last fifteen minutes. You're obviously thinking about something."
Santana sighed "it's Sasha. She still hasn't woken up yet, she probably won't wake up and I don't know if I can see her in this state. I feel like I'll just break down and I don't want to do that in front of the general."
"I doubt the general is going to care if you break down. I'm sure he'd rather see Santana, not the soldier Santana. Her family is probably going to want to forget everything army for a bit and focus on their daughter and sister. I'm sure they won't care if you forget about the army to while you are there. Be the Santana who I've been around the last few days, be the Santana who is Sasha's best friend, be the Santana who is Masons favorite person, be the Santana who drives Rachel absolutely insane at times, be that Santana. Not the one who takes orders and says yes sir or no sir. They won't care"
Santana looks up with tears in her eyes
"I'm not ready for my best friend to leave me."
Quinn gets up and brings Santana into a hug.
"If I knew what would make this situation better I would do it but I don't. So I'm just going to hold you okay?"
"ok"
The girls lounged around until it was time to go to the airport. They made it through the airport without anyone stopping and asking Quinn for and autographed or a picture. Quinn's gate was closer so when they go there they found someone to take their picture who happily agreed. Quinn posted it to twitter with the caption "SSGTPEZ is just hanging out in airports these days. I'll see you when you get back to Cali!" The girls hugged and kissed and said goodbye with a promise to get in touch when Santana arrived back into California
Santana had made it to her gate and onto the plane when her phone rang she pulled it out as she got into the seat
Quinn- stay strong babes.
Santana- when'd this happen?
Quinn- when you were sleeping. Lol
Santana - creeper. I'll keep you updated and let you know when I'm back.
Santana then shut off her phone and slept preparing herself for the worst when she arrived in South Carolina.
