After Santana and Brittany meet up with Mikey and Lauren they go to find their parents. (At the regular table, of course.)
"Sanny!" Jackie shouts upon seeing the group.
The little girl is soon in the latina's arms and greets the others. Santana asks her father for his keys and and he reaches into his pocket to pull them out. He pauses and looks at her.
"Be careful." He tells her.
"Always." She replies, reaching for the keys.
"Have fun." Mrs. Pierce says with a smile.
Santana moves to place Jackie on the ground but she clings to her and refuses.
"Why can't I go?" She wails.
Santana looks at the sad girl who is staring at her. As much as she hates to admit it, she has somehow become close to the girl.
"Well," She begins. "I can't get you a surprise if you're there."
The small girls expression completely changes and she is smiling brightly. "Okay."
"You guys better get going," Mr. Pierce says as Santana places Jackie on the ground. "Don't get in any trouble."
"We won't daddy." Brittany replies.
The group turns and heads for the exit and they hear Mrs. Lopez shout after them.
"Drive Safe!"
The four quickly pile into the car; Santana in the drivers seat with Brittany beside her in the passenger seat, Mikey behind her and Lauren across from him, behind Santana.
They begin to talk excitedly about their trip for the first few minutes before drifting to other topics.
The song "Breathe" by Dev starts and Brittany squeals. "I love this song!"
Santana smiles and Lauren quickly agrees. Mikey just laughs at them.
"Are you gonna make me"
"breathe,"
"breathe,"
"breathe,"
"breathe,"
"I ain't no stripper,"
"But you're making me wanna..."
"Strip."
The talking fades as they listen to the song.
"Before everything fades to dark"
"Put your lips on me and"
"breathe,"
"breathe,"
"breathe,"
"breathe,"
Brittany has been texting since they got in the car, and Santana glances finally notices. Who is she talking to?
"I'm gonna get ya"
"Gonna (gonna) make you fall in.."
"Love."
Brittany begins to smile and she sends a text from her phone.
"Take a hold of my body,"
"Tell me what you're dreaming.."
"Of."
The continue to sit silently and listen to the song.
"Are you gonna make me"
"breathe,"
"breathe,"
"breathe,"
"breathe,"
The phone in Brittany's hand lightly vibrates and she lifts it up to check the message.
"See you standing there,"
"But are you standing there,"
Brittany reaches over and gently places her hand on Santana's arm, which is placed on the steering wheel. Santana glances at Brittany as she slowly leads her arm to the center counsel while running her arm down to her wrist and then places her arm next to hers.
"Better come over here."
"I need you right now."
Santana is still unsure of what is going on, but she reaches her pinky over and links it with Brittany's. Brittany fumbles with her phone in her other hand and brings it above their wrists and a flash goes off. Santana glances at her again in confusion.
"What are you doing?" Santana asks finally.
Brittany looks up form her phone and smiles.
"Quinn wanted to see our bracelets."
Brittany looks back to her phone and sends the picture to Quinn. Even though Santana doesn't really know what to say, Mikey speaks before she has a chance.
"Who's Quinn?" He asks.
"A friend." Brittany answers.
As the next song starts Lauren starts dancing in her seat, causing Brittany and Mikey to laugh. Mikey joins in first and then soon after Brittany joins. As Brittany wiggles in her seat Santana's hand is tugged every few seconds, seeing as their pinkies are still joined. Santana smiles at first but then lets her pinky escape Brittany's and returns her hand to the wheel. Brittany slows for a moment to look at her but then continues with her seat dancing.
About an hour into the trip Santana pulls into a fast stop. They walk inside and she tells them to get a drink. They walk over to the freezers and Santana grabs a can of tea while Mikey grabs a red bull and Brittany gets a Dr. Pepper.
"I have to go to the bathroom," Brittany says. "Will you hold this for me?"
Brittany motions for Lauren to take her drink but she ignores her as she digs in the freezer for her a Dr. Pepper. Santana extends her hand toward the drink.
"I'll take it." She says.
Brittany smiles and hands her the drink before heading off to the bathroom. Santana pays for the drinks and Brittany makes her way back over to them and they all head out to the car. As soon as Santana pulls back onto the road a new song starts on the radio. She takes a sip from her drink and everyone shuffles into a comfortable position.
"When"
"I watch you walk,"
"And I watch you move,"
"I want some more."
Santana can't help but glance at Brittany.
"Eyes go up that skirt,"
"It starts me up,"
"When.. your.. legs walk through that door."
"I don't do boys,"
"Just do girls,"
"I just do girls with style and class."
"I don't do boys,"
"Just do girls,"
"Just do girls with kissable ass."
"Hot." Mikey mumbles, mostly to himself.
Lauren hits his shoulder and Santana sends him a glare but Brittany just laughs, making Santana realize how tight she had been gripping the steering wheel.
"Hot lips,"
Santana's eyes drift to Brittany's lips.
"Hot eyes,"
Then to her eyes, which are looking back at her.
"Hot stuff,"
"(Kiss me)"
"Hot smile"
Then back to her lips.
"I'm gonna drive you crazy,"
Suddenly a thudding noise sounds from under the car and Santana's eyes, along with everyone else's, shoot to the road. She quickly turns the wheel so they are fully and the road and going straight. She clears her throat and changes the radio station.
"Are you trying to kill us?" Mikey says with a laugh.
"Fuck off!" Santana snaps.
"Damn..." He mumbles, looking at the other two girls.
The rest of the trip is mainly quiet aside from a few short conversations that come and go. When they finally get there they pull into a parking spot and jump out of the car and begin stretching. Brittany and Mikey make their way to the other side of the car. Brittany smiles when she sees Santana leaning back and placing her hands behind her head. She steps closer and notices the latina's shirt riding up. She reaches her hand out and pokes her exposed stomach, causing Santana to quickly open her eyes and let her hands fall to her sides. Brittany giggles.
"That was rude." Santana says playfully.
"You can poke me back." Brittany offers.
Santana grins and is about to return the poke when Mikey and Lauren step up to them.
"Should we head in?" Mikey questions.
Santana lets her hand drop and they walk to the entrance to buy their tickets.
"So who's gonna pay?" Santana asks as they step into the line.
Lauren's eyes widen and she looks at Santana.
"Wait," Lauren says. "You don't have money?"
Santana rolls her eyes and says "I was joking."
Lauren sighs in relief and Brittany giggles beside Santana.
"Oh, well you shouldn't do that." Lauren says.
"Guess I shouldn't talk at all then." Santana says sarcastically.
"No," Lauren says. "It's just you don't usually talk to me very much and.."
She trails off and Brittany giggles more. Santana smiles and pays for the tickets when they finally reach the window.
When they get past the gate Lauren and Brittany are handed some brochures and walk forward.
"Do I need this?" Brittany questions, looking at the paper in her hands.
Santana shrugs. "No idea."
Brittany laughs and throws the paper in a nearby trashcan.
"So where to first?" Mikey asks.
"Dunno, never been here." Santana says.
They continue walking.
"We need a map or something." Brittany states.
"That was a map." Lauren says.
"Oh." Brittany says, causing both her and Santana to laugh.
They continue walking and come across the Simpsons ride.
"Let's go on this." Santana suggests.
They all agree and jump into line. They talk about who they will sit by and Santana picks Brittany. They don't stand in line too long and when they get on the ride Santana and Brittany talk the whole time. The next ride they decide to go on is the Incredible Hulk coaster. When they get in line Lauren suggest that they rotate who they sit by on the rides and they all agree. On this ride they can all sit together but Santana and Brittany sit on opposite ends. After they get off of that ride, they continue walking in search of another ride.
"San!" Brittany shouts. "Look!"
Santana quickly looks to where Brittany is pointing and notices the Men In Black ride and smiles.
"Awesome!" Santana replies.
Brittany and Santana eagerly run in with Mikey close behind, dragging Lauren with him.
"You guys are so lame!" Lauren complains.
"Come on," Mikey says. "This is awesome!"
Santana and Brittany quickly agree.
Though it was not their turn, Brittany and Santana sit in the front together while Mikey and Lauren sit behind them, each pair with a stranger next to them because it was a three seat row. Santana begins to feel more and more free as she defeats aliens by Brittany's side. They come out of the adventure laughing together. Their next stop is the Hollywood Rip Ride Rocket.
"This is gonna be so fun!" Brittany exclaims.
"Maybe.." Santana says nervously.
They stand in line for a few minutes when a boy runs past.
"I hope he had people up there." Lauren says.
A few minutes pass before she speaks again.
"We should make a barrier," She says. "Have our group all the way across so people can't cut."
Brittany and Santana begin to laugh again.
"We should get in formation!" Lauren says.
They do. Santana stands to the left of Brittany with Mikey in front of Brittany and Laurn next to him in front of Santana. The line moves a little further and Brittany notices a boom lift not too far away.
"I wanna get in and just drive around." Brittany says.
Santana looks over at the boom lift and smiles.
"Get in the basket and i'll drive you around!" Brittany says to Santana.
"We'll just take that home." Santana jokes.
The others laugh.
"Just get in and fling us back home." Brittany says.
"Fly home!" Santana adds between laughs. "Might not be alive when we get back, but we'll get there quick!"
The line moves up more and brings them in front of a trashcan.
"Hey, it's our friend!" Brittany says, gesturing toward the trashcan.
Santana burst into laughter, thinking about how they always end up sitting by the trashcan at their table. The line moves up more and a younger boy starts talking to Mikey. Santana can't really understand what is being said but the look on Brittany's face followed by her laughter makes her break into more laughter. Lauren begins talking about a slab of concrete behind Brittany and Santana and they look at it and then back to each other, only to burst into a fit of laughter.
"What?" Santana says.
"It's not red.." Brittany says.
Lauren stops talking and looks at them, confused by their laughter.
"Wait, what?"
"You said the concrete was red..." Brittany tells her.
Santana continues to laugh as Lauren explains to them what she was saying. After standing there for a few minutes Lauren turns to Santana.
"Are you high?" Lauren questions.
"No." Santana replies with the smile not leaving her face.
"Oh." Lauren replies. "Well you just keep laughing and stuff."
Santana just shrugs and looks back to Brittany.
"I have to pee." Brittany says.
"Don't pee on me!" Santana says quickly.
They laugh and the line moves closer.
"Okay, when we get there we have to dash to the front!" Brittany commands.
When they get to the front of the line they unfortunately don't get the front seats. Also, due to their rotation, Brittany sits with Lauren and Santana sits with Mikey, but is behind Brittany.
"Don't pee on me!" Santana announces to the girl in front of her.
Brittany laughs. "I'll try."
It starts to get dark when they get off the ride walk around in search of another ride.
"We should lock arms so we don't lose each other." Lauren suggest, linking her arm with Brittany's.
They continue to walk for a few minutes before Mikey walks over to Santana's side and links arms with her. Soon after, instead of linking arms, Santana reaches down and links her pinkie with Brittany's. Brittany smiles at her and they continue to walk. They end up at the TWISTER live show. They try to go in the wrong way and stand there for a few minutes while Brittany complains about having to use the bathroom and Santana whines about being hungry while still laughing. After a few minutes Santana tells them she thinks they are in the wrong place and quickly find the correct entrance. After the show ends they go in search of a bathroom for Brittany. As they walk Santana ends up walking so close to Brittany that she bumps into her. But she likes it. She feels the warmth from Brittany and smiles wider.
"San!" Brittany says, looking back at her. "You keep touching my butt!"
Usually, this kind of situation would embarrass Santana, but this time It doesn't. She just continues to smile and walks a little faster so she is more by Brittany's side.
"Well you're walking too slow!" Santana replies.
"You just wanna get your cooties on me." Brittany replies with a laugh.
When they reach the bathroom Mikey goes into the boys bathroom and the other three go into the girls. Santana stands against the wall in front of the door as Brittany and Lauren go into stalls. As she stands there she notices the huge smile on her face and lets it fall slightly. She stands there and waits and when Brittany walks out of the stall her full smile returns. Brittany looks up from her phone and smiles and Santana. Lauren walks out shortly after.
"So now when you text me I'll think about you going to the bathroom."
Brittany just laughs in response as her and Lauren wash their hands. When Brittany walks towards the door Santana opens it for her.
"Thank you." Brittany says.
For some reason she always likes to hold the door for the girl. After Lauren walks out Santana follows.
"Time to find food." Brittany says.
Mikey and Lauren pull out their map and look for a place to eat. Santana rocks on her feet while laughing with Brittany. Finally they find a place to eat and look at the menu. As they stand in line Santana looks to her side and sees a odd sight. A few people are standing there, two including a girl with her hands covering her backside and a boy next to her continually poking at it. Santana looks back to Brittany and they burst into laughter causing Lauren to look at them in confusion. When they reach the window Brittany orders first. When she lowers her head to place her order though she begins to laugh, which makes Santana start to laugh again. When Brittany gets her food she makes her way to a table behind them. Mikey orders food for Lauren next.
"Stop laughing!" Lauren says with a small smile.
Santana looks at her but can't stop her small giggles. Santana holds back her laughter and orders her food. Mikey continues to say things in attempts to make her laugh as Lauren tries to stop her.
"It's not funny!" Lauren says with a small laugh.
Her food soon comes and she walks off to the table to sit with Brittany.
"They left me." Santana pouts.
"I'm still here." Mikey says.
When Santana's food comes the two make their way to the table.
"Just leave me." Santana huffs.
"Sorryy." Brittany replies.
Because of Lauren and Mikey sitting on either side of Brittany, Santana makes her way to the spot across from her. She begins to sit down and she puts her hand on the table, which happened to have ketchup on it.
"Ew.." Santana says, wiping her finger on the table.
Brittany laughs and Mikey moves from Brittany's side to the other side of the table next to Lauren so Santana moves to sit next to Brittany.
"I told her what happened." Brittany says, referring to what they saw before ordering their food.
They all laugh and begin to eat their food, which isn't that good. Santana was so hungry but the food didn't seem to be helping, it just made her feel sick instead of hungry.
"Listen to this." Lauren says, standing up and sitting between Brittany and Santana. Santana scoots away a little. Lauren brings up a video on her phone and hold it up for the two to listen to. She ends up standing so both Brittany and Santana can hear. Santana can't really hear it and looks back to her food. She picks up a fry and throws it at Brittany.
"Hey!" Brittany says, giggling at the latina's behavior.
Santana laughs as Brittany throws the fry back at her. Brittany jumps a little in result to whatever Lauren had her listening to and Santana laughs again. Both Lauren and Brittany urge Santana to listen to it. She scoots closer and Lauren brings the phone closer to her. Santana still can't really hear it. She picks up another fry from her basket but it breaks. She laughs and Lauren complains playfully about Santana trying to put fries in her drink. Santana then throws the fry at Brittany and it hits her in the face. They both laugh and Brittany once again throws the fry back, and it lands on the ground.
"Listen!" Brittany says sternly, smile still on her face.
Santana tries to concentrate on the words and hears the weird story. She brings the chicken strip in her hand in front of Brittany's face and wiggles it. They both laugh.
"Listen!" Lauren tells her.
She looks at Brittany and continues to listen. A scream comes from the phone and Lauren and Brittany laugh as Santana backs away from the phone. They both complain that she didn't get scared and Santana chucks another fry at Brittany. After a few more minutes of Santana and Brittany tossing fries back and forth they decide to leave. They all have still almost half of their food but throw it away and head of to another ride.
"I'm gonna throw up." Santana says.
The next ride they end up at is the Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man. As they stand in line Brittany leans against a pole and Lauren and Brittany end up talking about pole dancing.
"I'll be a pole dancer." Brittany jokes.
"But you need a pole."
"There's one right here!" Brittany says, gesturing towards the pole behind her.
"But it needs to be up and down." Lauren responds.
Brittany laughs and continues. "I'll do it horizontally!"
They all laugh and the line moves a little more. Brittany tries to sit on the pole but when it shifts she looks at Santana and they both laugh.
"Hey Brittany, when I throw up you gotta catch it, okay?" Santana jokes.
"Okay, you can trust me." Brittany says with a laugh.
When they get on the ride Santana and Brittany sit next to each other with Mikey in front of Santana facing her and Lauren in front of Brittany. Brittany and Lauren begin playing patty cake with their feet before the ride starts. During the ride Santana feels the urge to barf.
"I'm gonna throw up." Santana says.
"I'll catch it!" Brittany says, extending her arms to the side in front of Santana.
They both laugh. Santana actually enjoyed the ride but when she steps off her stomach churns.
"I'm gonna throw up." She announces.
They walk a little farther and this time it actually happens. She tries to hold it but it rushes out of her mouth. Brittany looks at her with worried eyes.
"Let's get to a trashcan or something." Lauren says.
They walk a little more but it comes again. After finally getting to the bathroom it is too late and Santana is already done. Santana takes a drink from a water fountain and they sit at a bench for a few minutes before moving on. They end up going to a gift shop because Brittany wants a souvenir. They look around but no one gets anything. It is dark now and they make their way to The Eighth Voyage of Sindbad stunt show. Santana sits to Brittany's left as Mikey and Lauren sit on the other side. When the explosions of fire and light go off Santana can't help but cower behind Brittany a little. She wasn't entirely sure if it was just because she was startled or because she wanted wanted to touch her. Either way, the warmth she felt brought her comfort. When the show ended they were surprised that they actually enjoyed it. When they walked out they went straight for the Dots ice cream cart they saw when waiting in line earlier. Brittany orders strawberry and once again makes her way to a table with Lauren following shortly after ordering cookies and cream. Santana orders next but they are out of banana split so she also gets strawberry. Santana stands there and waits for Mikey as he orders cookies and cream. When they reach the table Santana sits next to Brittany, across from Lauren, and Mikey sits next to Santana, across from Brittany.
"Why were you just standing there?" Lauren questions.
"I was being nice, unlike you people." Santana responds.
"You copied me." Brittany says playfully to Santana.
Santana shrugs. "They didn't have what I wanted."
Brittany pulls out her phone and sends a text before returning it to her pocket.
"We're not interesting enough." Santana says causing Brittany to laugh a little.
"It's an addiction." Brittany replies.
"That's no good." Says Santana.
"Well, you wouldn't let me smoke or anything earlier, so..." Brittany says, referring to Santana joking with her when they would read "No smoking" on a sign when waiting in line for a ride.
"Hmm.." Santana responds. "I helped you with that addiction, so.."
She reaches her hand over and snatches the phone from Brittany and stuffs it in her own pocket.
"Problem solved." Santana adds.
"San!" Brittany whines.
"I'm helping you." She says with a smile.
"But I was talking to someone!" Brittany says, moving closer to Santana.
"Talk to me." Santana replies.
"Or us." Lauren adds.
Brittany pouts. "Give it back."
"I'm helping you," Santana tells her. "It's good to overcome your addictions."
Ignoring her, Brittany scoots closer and tries to sneak her hand into Santana's pocket. Santana notices quickly though and grabs her wrist. Brittany looks from her trapped wrist to Santana and back. Then an idea pops in her head. With her free hand she reaches to Santana's side and begins to tickle her.
"Hey!" Santana shouts, letting go of Brittany and trying to scoot away.
Forgetting about her phone, Brittany leans forward and quickly grabs the hand that was grabbing her just a moment ago and pulls Santana back to her. Brittany is now slightly hovering over Santana and they lock eyes. They are close, probably too close. Brittany's eyes dart down to Santana's lips and back to her eyes. Fuck she is so close... Santana swallows hard and takes a minute before reaching into her pocket and pulling out Brittany's phone. She lifts it up so Brittany can see it. Brittany stares at her lips for a minute before grabbing the phone and moving back. Santana stays frozen for a moment before taking a deep breath and sitting up. She just wanted her phone. That's all.
For the next few minutes they eat their ice cream and talk aimlessly while taking turns in playing music from their phones. One of the songs being I got a thing for her by Jason Derulo.
"That girl is just so fresh,"
"Yeah,"
"The way she look in her tight jeans and t-shirt,"
Santana can't help but notice that Brittany is wearing exactly that, and the shirt happens to be hers.
"You know that I'm gon' flirt,"
"'Cause shawty is a 10, (yeah)"
"And she don't even know it (know it)."
"I really wanna get with her."
"I got a thing for her."
"My turn!" Lauren says, interrupting the song with her own.
When they are almost done with their ice cream they decide to take another look at the gift shop because Brittany really wanted to buy something.
"How about this?" Brittany asks, holding up a shirt with "Universal Studios" printed on it.
"Do you like it?" Santana questions.
"Do you?" Brittany asks.
Mikey and Lauren walk up to them and Brittany asks what Lauren thinks. Lauren tells her to try it on. She quickly slips it on.
"How do I look?" Brittany asks.
"Fine." Santana answers.
"Just fine?" Brittany pouts. "I want to look great!"
Santana chuckles. "You look great, Brittany."
Brittany turns and asks Lauren and Mikey the same.
"Fine, my opinion isn't good enough." Santana mumbles.
The other two wonder off and Brittany looks back to Santana.
"Should I get it?" She asks.
"Do you want it?" Santana questions.
"I dunno.." Brittany says as she looks at the shirt.
"Do you like it?" Santana asks again.
"Yeah." Brittany answers.
"Get it." Santana says.
Santana and Brittany make their way to the check out and Lauren picks out a shirt of her own after arguing with Mikey about getting it. When they both check out they make their way out to the car to go home.
After about an hour of driving Lauren and Mikey are asleep in the back and only Santana and Brittany remain awake. Like on the way up, they are listening to the radio. After the previous song ends a new one slowly begins to play.
"Hold on,"
"What the rush? what's the rush? We're..."
"Not done. Are we?"
"'Cause I don't need to change this..."
"Atmosphere we've made"
"If.. you can stay one more hour."
"Can you stay one more hour?"
Santana glances over at Brittany when she notices her start to sing along.
"You know I'm gonna find a way to let you have your way with me."
"You know I'm gonna find the time to catch your hand and make you..."
"Stay."
She glances at Brittany again who is leaning against the door and looking at her.
"Hold on."
"I'll be here when it's.."
"All done,"
"You know."
"'Cause what's the point in chasing"
"When I can't enjoy your face and"
"We can be wrong tonight."
"Can we be wrong tonight?"
She can feel Brittany watching her and she wants to look back, but she makes herself focus on the road.
"You know I'm gonna find a way to let you have your way with me,"
"You know I'm gonna find the time to catch your hand and make you stay."
"I don't care what clothes you wear,"
"It's time to love and I don't care."
"You know I'm gonna find a way to let you have your way with me,"
"And if I was running, you would be the one who I would be running to."
"And if I was crying you would be lying on the cloud that would pull me through."
"And if I was scared I would be glad to tell you and walk away."
"I am not lying,"
"I am just trying"
"To find my way into you."
As the singing stops momentarily Santana can almost compose her thoughts and lifts her hand to change the station.
"Don't." Brittany says softly.
Santana leaves her hand in the air for a moment before returning it to the steering wheel. She can still feel the blue eyes on her but refuses to look in Brittany's direction as she continues to sing along with the song.
It is a little past 1 A.M. When they return and Santana throws her empty can at Mikey to wake him up.
"We're back." Brittany announces.
Mikey shakes Lauren to wake her up and they all exit the car after grabbing their trash. Lauren and Mikey quickly take off, ready to get into bed while Santana and Brittany walk slowly. When they get in the elevator Brittany links their pinkies and they both smile. Santana knows that they are about to part and she really doesn't want to. Her day had been so nice and she didn't want Brittany to leave, so she let some of her courage from the day take over.
"Britt," Santana says, causing Brittany to smile wider at the nickname Santana has finally given her. "Stay with me?"
"Yeah." Brittany answers quickly.
When they get to Santana's room they both change into a pair of Santana's night clothe. They don't turn the tv on tonight. With Santana laying on her side of the bed, Brittany quickly takes her spot next to her and rests her head against Santana's laid out arm and drapes an arm over her stomach. They quickly fall asleep to the sound of the others heart beat.
Santana turns over on her side. She tries to go back to sleep but she can't help but notice the lack of warmth. She opens her eyes to see an empty spot. Brittany wasn't there. She slowly sits up and grabs her phone from the nightstand. It was about 8 A.M., way too earlier for her to be up. She couldn't sleep though and decided to go find the person she wanted to see most. She took a quick shower and got dressed before making her way down to the table. She thinks about Brittany and what she is wearing, what she is taking about, and mostly whether Brittany wants to see her as much as she wants to see Brittany.
But when she gets close to the table her previous thoughts are gone. Lauren is sitting in her chair again, next to Brittany. They are facing each other and Brittany's hand is palm up in Lauren's hands. Santana stops and just stares at the two. Do they always eat breakfast together? Like this, holding hands? She suddenly feels horrible. Sick. When she is just about to retreat to her room, she hears Brittany.
"San?"
Her eyes shoot up and meet Brittany's. Her usual smile is gone and she looks at Santana with worry. Lauren lets her hand go and Brittany stands up and walks over to her.
"San?" Brittany repeats. "What's wrong?"
Santana stands there for a minute, motionless, before finally becoming aware of the expression of confusion on her face and the girl in front of her. Before she can say anything the blonde speaks again.
"Are you okay?"
Santana scrambles for words and tries to get something out. What do I say? I don't even know what's going on. Why do I feel like this?
"No." She says. "I mean y-yes. Just... too early."
"Oh," Brittany says, not completely convinced. "Come sit with me?"
"Sure." Santana responds.
Brittany smiles a little and turns back to the table. She whispers something to Lauren before taking her seat and looking back at the unmoved latina. Brittany motions for Santana to come over as Lauren stands and picks up Jackie before sitting in her chair and placing the girl in her lap. Santana walks to the table and Jackie looks around in confusion.
"Sanny!" The little girl shouts upon seeing the latina.
Once Santana is in her seat, Jackie scrambles onto her lap with some assistance from Lauren and wraps her small arms around her.
"Why are you up so early?" Her father asks curiously, lowering his paper.
Santana glances at Brittany and then looks at the table. "Couldn't sleep."
"Sweetheart, let the girl breathe." Mrs. Pierce says, looking at her daughter.
"But Sanny is soft!" Jackie objects and hugs tighter.
Santana smiles. "I don't mind."
"Alright." Mrs. Pierce says before turning back to her husband.
Jackie begins telling Santana about a movie she watched the previous night, so when a cup of coffee is placed in front of her she looks up, confused.
"You were kinda busy," Brittany says. "I hope that's okay."
"Yeah, Santana responds. "Thanks."
Santana takes a sip of her coffee and turns her attention back to the girl in her lap.
After finishing her coffee she quickly excuses herself from the table and goes back to her room. When she got to her room she plopped onto her bed and thought of the previous night. She had felt so good and so free. Almost the entire trip she just felt happy and did whatever, not really thinking too much about it. It seemed like a dream because now all she did was think and worry. Her thoughts are interrupted when she hears her phone go off.
"Hello?" She says into the phone.
"Good morning," Quinn says. "I'm surprised you're actually up."
"Then why did you call?" Santana replies.
"Well I'm talking to you, aren't I?
"Whatever."
"Guess I should have waited." Quinn says. "You're such a grump."
"Is there a reason you called?" Santana snaps.
"I just wanted to talk." Quinn answers sweetly. "And talk about your beautiful friendship bracelet."
Due to a lack of words, Santana doesn't respond.
"So did you have a good time?" Quinn continues.
"Yeah." Santana says.
"That's nice... I heard Brittany spent the night." Quinn teases.
"What?" Santana says quickly.
"We were talking earlier." Quinn replies. "She told me she stayed with you last night, like you do a lot."
"And your point is?" Santana snaps.
"I am just trying to make conversation!" Quinn says trying to hold back a laugh.
"Fuck you." Santana mumbles.
"No thanks." Quinn responds with a laugh.
There is silence for a moment before Quinn speaks again.
"I'm sorry." Quinn says seriously. "Do you want to talk?"
"Nothing to talk about." Santana says.

The songs I used are: Dev - Breathe, Elektra - I Don't do Boys, I Got a Thing ForHher - Jason Derulo, and Safetysuit - Find a Way. The trip in this chapter was based off of a trip to an amusement park I had not to long ago (though it was not nearly as awesome as the trip in the story) and I have been planning it for awhile. I've been excited for this chapter so I really hope you like it. What did you think?
