"San, they're going to be here any minute!" Brittany whined.
Santana appeared by her side carrying a cooler of various drinks. "Are you sure we needed to invite Berry to this little welcome back party? It may not be too late. We could call her and say there's a set height requirement. We could even say there's a height restriction for Man Boobs while we're at it, since he seems to follow everywhere the hobbit goes."
"They're my friends, S." she shrugged.
Santana sighed. "Alright. I'll put up with them. Just for you. But I'd really feel much better about all of this if we put plastic covers on everything so they don't get their weird T-Rex/Man Hands germs all over my stuff." She leaned over and planted a kiss on Brittany's cheek.
Brittany beamed and placed a hand where Santana's lips had been.
The doorbell rang and Santana went to answer it. Rachel Berry was the first to arrive. What a surprise. "Alright, listen, RuPaul."
Rachel ignored Santana and pushed past her. "You're having a girl!" she screamed with her arms out to hug Brittany.
"I am!" Brittany hugged her.
Finn was still standing outside with his hands in his pockets. "Finn, you've somehow managed to make standing awkward. Congratulations." Santana quipped.
"Oh. Uh. Thank you?" he said as he stepped into the apartment.
Sam was the next to arrive. "Trouty Mouth! Glad you could finally make it to one of our parties!" Santana teased.
"Hey, hey! A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. I work a lot." he made his way to Brittany. "This," he presented a small gift bag, "is for you, Brittany."
"Presents on the coffee table!" Santana called from the kitchen.
"A gift! Why didn't we get her a gift?" Rachel glared at Finn and smacked his arm.
"Ow! Hey! I don't know. It's not a birthday party or anything..."
"Hey! We're here!" came Quinn's voice from the front of the apartment.
Brittany hopped up from the couch and bounded towards Puck and Quinn. Puck wrapped her in a hug.
Quinn hugged Brittany and held up the bags in her hands. "I brought extra drinks and paper plates. Where's Santana?"
"In the kitchen."
"Oh good. I'll go set these down."
When Quinn walked away Puck looked at the remaining blond mischievously. "Want to open your present now?"
Brittany spoke as if rehearsed. "Santana said all presents on the coffee table until it's the right time to open them."
Puck shook his head. "Bitch is no fun." and he made his way to the living room.
Tina, Mike, Mercedes, and Kurt all showed up at the same time.
"Brittany, I got you a-" Kurt began cheerily.
"Dude, just put it on the table. Santana is crazy with this coffee table business." Puck told him in a low voice.
Santana whistled and got the group's attention. "I'm going to say it now. You guys can drink if you must, but none of you idiots better get too crazy. I will not clean anyone's puke, but I will hire someone to clean your brains off the walls." she finished with a smile.
"That was...kind of disturbing." Mike said in a low tone only Tina could hear.
"That was Santana." she replied.
Puck took it upon himself to be the bartender. "We have beer, we have Jack, we have Jim, we have the Captain, and if you're feeling crazy, tequila." he announced as he put each bottle on the counter.
"I would just like to add that we also have a variety of soda and juices and water. Alcohol is not the only option." Quinn interjected.
"Yeah, but it's the best option." Puck countered.
Quinn rolled her eyes and smiled.
"Well, I'm the D.D. for these three," Mike pointed at Kurt, Mercedes, and Tina, "so I'll take one of those waters."
Quinn handed him one and smirked at Puck.
"I suppose I could indulge in a drink or two. Bartender, what do you recommend?" Rachel said.
"I'll make you a special concoction I like to call the Puckzilla."
Rachel watched as Puck poured all kinds of alcohol and mixes. He handed her the cup and watched as she took a sip. "This is surprisingly delicious, Noah." Rachel said with a smile.
Puck nodded appreciatively.
"Rum and coke," Santana said. "You know how I like it."
Puck smirked. "Yeah I do!"
Santana glared at him. "Cool it, Puckerman."
Puck opened his mouth to say something but Quinn cut him off. "Don't you dare say something about being a 'sex shark'!"
Puck laughed and pulled Quinn by the waist. "Don't worry, baby. You know I only got eyes for you."
Quinn raised an eyebrow and half smiled. "Yeah, yeah, now why don't you make that drink for Santana before she kicks your ass?"
Puck poured the drink (heavy on the rum, thank you very much). Santana took the red cup and sauntered over to her girlfriend, placing a kiss on her cheek.
Brittany smiled and grabbed Santana's free hand. "Whatcha drinking?"
Santana took a sip of her drink. "Rum and coke."
"Mmm yummy. I've just got my handy dandy water bottle here."
"Oh babe! You better be careful. Dink too much of that and you'll get wasted. That can't be good for the baby." Santana joked.
Brittany crinkled her nose and stuck out her tongue. "YUP. That's my goal for the night. Getting wasted."
Once everyone procured a drink, alcoholic or not, Puck raised his glass. "To Brittany!"
New Directions raised their drinks. "To Brittany!" they echoed.
"It wouldn't be a glee club party without singing." Rachel stated. "Karaoke time!"
Santana rolled her eyes. "Oh joy."
"I'll go first!" Rachel jumped up.
"Who didn't see that coming?" came from Mercedes.
Rachel shot her a pointed look and spoke. "Luckily I've got a large selection of songs in my repertoire so I'm prepared to sig at any moment. I've chosen to sing My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion."
The group took a seat on the couch or the floor and—for the most part—gave their attention to Rachel.
"...Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
You're here, there's nothing I fear
And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on"
When the song was over everyone clapped.
"Wow, Berry. Very few tears this time. Have you been practicing singing without crying?" Santana asked.
"Mock me all you want, Santana. I saw you pretending to sing this song to Brittany dramatically while I was singing. I know you enjoyed it."
Santana shrugged and sipped her drink.
Rachel grabbed her cup and took a seat on the floor next to Finn. "Who's up next?"
Kurt stood. "I'll go, but I'm going to need a little help from Brittany and Tina. One can't sing Single Ladies without one's backup dancers."
"Oh yay!" Brittany squealed and hopped up.
"Please excuse us if the performance is a little rusty. We don't have our leotards." Kurt informed them before beginning.
"...All the single ladies
All the single ladies
All the single ladies
All the single ladies
Now put your hands up
Wuh uh oh uh uh oh oh uh oh uh uh oh
Wuh uh oh uh uh oh oh uh oh uh uh oh
Cause if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you should've put a ring on it
Don't be mad once you see that he want it
If you liked it then you should've put a ring on it
Wuh oh oh"
Puck stared. "It's just not natural for a guy to be able to move his hips like that."
"Puck, sweetie, your gay is showing." Quinn told him.
"Fuck that noise!" Puck shouted before downing his drink. "Also, I think Quinn should go next.
Quinn stood and straightened her skirt. "Alright, I will. This song is called They're In Love, Where Am I? by the Weepies.
Lovers walk two by two
Doing things lovers do
They're in love, where am I?
I see them on my way home
How I hate to be alone
They're in love, where am I?
I guess I have to hope,
that today the sun will shine and,
maybe tomorrow you'll be mine
To the day I will wake,
watch the lovers on the lake
They're in love, where am I?
Walk alone a lovers lane,
pass the kisses in the rain
They're in love, where am I?
I guess I have to hope,
that today the sun will shine and,
maybe tomorrow you'll be mine
Lovers walk two by two
Doing things lovers do
They're in love, where am I?
They're in love, where am I?"
While Quinn was singing the group was swaying to the song.
"That was a really pretty song, Quinn."
Quinn smiled. "Thanks, Tina. Why don't you sing yours?"
"I'm gonna sing Little Bit by Lykke Li. This is for Mike." Tina grinned at him and he smiled back.
Uh ooh ooh uh ooh ooh uh ooh oooh
Uh ooh ooh uh ooh ooh uh ooh oooh
Uh ooh ooh uh ooh ooh uh ooh oooh
Hands down
I'm too proud, for love
But with eyes shut
It's you I'm thinking of
But how we move from A to B it can't be up to me
Cause I don't know
Eye to eye
Thigh to Thigh
I let go
I think I'm a little bit
Little bit
A little bit in love with you
But only if you're a little bit
Little bit
Little bit
In lalalala love with me..."
Tina ended the song and hugged Mike. "Guess what? Your turn!"
"We all know I don't sing much, but I do love me some Jack Johnson and it's a special occasion. So here's Banana Pancakes.
...You hardly even notice
When I try to show you this
Song is meant to keep ya
From doing what you're supposed to
Like waking up too early
Maybe we can sleep in
I'll make you banana pancakes
Pretend like it's the weekend now
And we could pretend it all the time
Can't you see that it's just raining
Ain't no need to go outside
Ain't no need, ain't no need
Rain all day and I really really really don't mind
Can't you see can't you see,
You gotta wake up slow"
Rachel stood up and cheered. "That was really good! You go girl! I mean…Mike."
Finn grabbed her arm. "Rachel, maybe you should sit down."
"I think I'm drunk." She said before sitting down and leaning over to Sam. "I think you should go next." She whispered very loudly.
"Yeah! I wanna hear Sam sing!" Brittany seconded.
"Alright, alright." Sam said as he stood up. "It's time to get some country up in this piece. She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy by Kenny Chesney.
...Well she ain't into cars or pickup trucks
But if it runs like a Deere man her eyes light up
She thinks my tractor's...
She thinks my tractor's sexy
It really turns her on
She's always staring at me
While I'm chuggin along
She likes the way it's pullin' while we're tillin' up the land
She's even kind of crazy 'bout my farmer's tan
She's the only one who really understands what gets me
She thinks my tractor's sexy
She thinks my tractor's sexy
She thinks my tractor's sexy"
"Sam, your tractor is very sexy and any lady would be lucky to have it. But not me because I have my Finny-Poo, even though you do have very cute lips." Rachel slurred. Finn blushed.
"Shut it, Berry." Santana growled. Rachel pouted but said nothing. "I think Frankenteen should go before his hobbit girlfriend spouts anymore babble." Santana voiced.
"Yaay Finny!" Rachel clapped.
"What did I say about talking?" Santana glared. Rachel's smile fell and she sat quietly.
"Uh. Alright. Well, I'm Finn Hudson and this is Life Is A Highway by Tom Cochrane.
...Through all the cities and all these towns
It's in my blood and it's all around
I love you now like I loved you then
This is the road and these are the hands
From Mozambique to those Memphis nights
The Khyber pass to Vancouver's lights
Knock me down get back up again
You're in my blood I'm not a lonely man
There's no load I can't hold
Road so rough this I know
I'll be there when the light comes in
Tell 'em we're survivors
Life is a highway
I want to ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I want to drive it all night long
Life is a highway
I want to ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I want to drive it all night long
There was a distance between you and I
A misunderstanding once but now
We look it in the eye
There's no load I can't hold
Road so rough this I know
I'll be there when the light comes in
Tell 'em we're survivors..."
Rachel jumped up. "That's my boyfriend! That's my boyfriend!"
"Berry!" Santana barked. Finn grabbed Rachel's hand and they sat down together.
"I've waited long enough. It's my time to be in the spotlight." Mercedes said as she stood up and took her place in front of the group. "I'm singing Breaking My Own Heart by Duffy.
...Save me
Somebody save me
From this misery
Love is killing me
Please save me
I need saving
Won't somebody save me
From this misery
Love is killing me
Ooo, save me
I hung on
To every word you say
In search of a sign boy
You felt the same way
But it was only me
Breaking my own heart
Breaking my own heart
Breaking my own heart..."
"Mercedes, that was fabulous." Kurt said as he patted her shoulder.
"Thanks, babe. You know how I do."
"Puck is going next." Quinn said as she pushed him to the front.
"What the fuck? Okay, well, I'm singing Jack and Diane by John Mellencamp.
Little ditty about Jack and Diane
Two American kids growin' up in the heartland
Jacky's gonna be a football star
Diane debutante backseat of Jacky's car
Suckin' on a chili dog outside the Tastee Freeze
Diane's sittin' on Jacky's lap
He's got his hand between her knees
Jacky say "Hey Diane lets run off
Behind a shady tree"
Dribble off those Bobby Brooks slacks
Let me do what I please.
And Jacky say
Oh yeah life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone
Oh yeah say life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone, they walk on
Jacky sits back reflects his thoughts for the moment
Scratches his head and does his best James Dean.
Well you know Diane, we oughtta run of the city
Diane says "Baby, you ain't missing' no-thing"
Jacky say a
Oh yeah life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone
Oh yeah say life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone,
Gonna let it rock
Let it roll
Let the Bible belt come down
And save my soul
Hold on to sixteen as long as you can
Changes come around real soon
Make us women and men
Oh yeah life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone
Oh yeah say life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone,
Little ditty about Jack and Diane
Two American kids doing the best they can"
Puck finished the song and sat down next to Quinn. She leaned over and kissed him on the cheek. "Little Duck, it's your turn!" Puck told Brittany.
"Okay!" she happily got up. "This is one of my favorite songs. Dancing On My Own by Robyn.
...I'm just gonna dance all night
I'm all messed up, I'm so out of line
Stilettos and broken bottles
I'm spinning around in circles
I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her, ohh
I'm right over here, why can't you see me, ohh
I'm giving it my all, but I'm not the girl you're taking home, ooo
I keep dancing on my own
I keep dancing on my own
So far away but still so near
The lights go on, the music dies
But you don't see me standing here
I just came to say goodbye..."
All throughout the song Brittany was dancing and Santana was mesmerized. The way she moved her body you would never guess she was pregnant. Her girlfriend truly was an amazing dancer. Brittany speaking finally snapped Santana out of her stupor. "San, you're the only one who hasn't gone."
"Huh? Oh. Yeah. Okay. I'm singing One and Only by Adele.
You've been on my mind
I grow fonder every day,
Lose myself in time
Just thinking of your face
God only knows
Why it's taking me so long
To let my doubts go
You're the only one that I want
I don't know why I'm scared, I've been here before
Every feeling, every word, I've imagined it all,
You never know if you never try
To forgive your past and simply be mine
I dare you to let me be your, your one and only
Promise I'm worthy to hold in your arms
So come on and give me the chance
To prove that I'm the one who can
Walk that mile until the end starts
I've been on your mind
You hang on every word I say, lose yourself in time
At the mention of my name,
Will I ever know how it feels to hold you close?
And have you tell me whichever road I choose you'll go
I don't know why I'm scared 'cause I've been here before
Every feeling every word, I've imagined it all,
You never know if you never tried
To forgive your past and simply be mine
I dare you to let me be your, your one and only
I promise I'm worthy to hold in your arms
So come on and give me the chance
To prove that I'm the one who can
Walk that mile until the end starts
I know it ain't easy
Giving up your heart
I know it ain't easy
Giving up your heart
Nobody's perfect, trust me I've learnt it
I know it ain't easy, giving up your heart
Nobody's perfect, trust me I've learnt it
I know it ain't easy, giving up your heart
I know it ain't easy
Giving up your heart
So I dare you to let me be your, your one and only
I promise I'm worthy to hold in your arms
So come on and give me the chance
To prove I'm the one who can
Walk that mile until the end starts
Come on and give me a chance
To prove that I'm the one who can
Walk that mile until the end starts."
Brittany and Santana locked eyes the whole time the brunette sung. Brittany had a knowing smile on her face. They knew the subject of unrequited love for a friend very well. But they were past that now, and it was so, so good.
Rachel stood and clapped enthusiastically. "Magical, Santana. Simply magical!"
Santana cracked a smile before straightening up and speaking. "Alright, Berry. Calm down before you cream your pants."
Rachel nodded and sat down on Finn's lap, putting her arms around his neck and kissing him sloppily.
"Well, Rachel and Finn have taken the train to Make-out Town." Kurt stated.
"Gross." Puck muttered before standing up. "Who needs a refill?" he shouted.
Kurt, Mercedes, Sam, Tina, and Santana all raised their cups. Rachel and Finn were too busy making out and Mike and Brittany weren't drinking.
"Oh Puck." Quinn called in a sing-song voice. "I'd like a drink."
Puck raised an eyebrow. "Thought you weren't drinking?"
Quinn shrugged. "I figure a nice buzz won't hurt anyone."
Puck grinned. "That's right." he kissed her and handed her a cup.
The night was going really well despite the many times Santana threatened Rachel. Santana spent a lot of the night sitting back and watching her girlfriend socialize and dance with her friends in awe. At some point the blond noticed that her girlfriend was kind of M.I.A. and came bouncing over to her. "Babe, what're you doing? You're missing the party!"
Santana smiled. "Just observing."
Brittany grabbed her hand and tugged. "Come dance with me."
Santana followed and they started dancing. Jeremih's Down On Me came on and the mood switched suddenly. Brittany was now grinding on Santana in ways that made her tingle. Santana put her hands on Brittany's hips and moved with her. Brittany glanced back at her and smiled seductively. Santana bit her lip and gulped. She couldn't take it anymore. She reached out and tilted Brittany's head back and kissed her hard. Brittany turned around, pressing her body against Santana's and kissed the brunette eagerly, biting her lip. Santana had to suppress a moan.
Puck and Quinn were watching all this happen from across the room. "Does this make us creepy?"
Puck shook his head. "Definitely not. Just...uh...concerned about our friends' happiness or whatever."
Quinn nodded, seemingly pleased with the excuse. "How long do you give it before one of them drags the other into the bedroom?" she asked as she danced on Puck.
"I don't even give it until the end of the next song."
"And what about Asian Fusion over there?" Quinn asked, eyeing Mike and Tina. Mike was completely sober but Tina was verging on drunk, and when Tina got drunk, well, she lost a lot of her inhibitions.
"I'd say we're about to see some heavy petting."
Quinn ran a hand through Puck's mohawk and let it rest at the nape of his neck. "We could do some heavy petting of our own." she husked.
Puck's eyes widened and Quinn grinned at him. She took him by the hand and led him to Santana's guest bedroom.
The song ended and Santana took Brittany to their bedroom. She went to undress Brittany but the blond stopped her. "No!" she regained composure and pushed the brunette down onto the bed. "Why don't you let me make you happy?" she growled as she climbed on top and started laying kisses down Santana's tanned flat abdomen.
