43. Wish

Brittany loves her best friend and she knows that she loves her too but sometimes she thinks that Santana can be too over protective. Brittany knows that she's not the brightest crayon in the box, but sometimes she wishes Santana would tell her the truth.

That's why when her mother asked her to make her a birthday wish before she blew out her candles, she wished that Santana couldn't tell a lie for twenty four hours.

Brittany knew that her wish had come true the next day when she had asked Santana if Santa Clause really did exist and the Latina had replied with a simple "No".

Brittany had enjoyed asking Santana questions all morning and finally finding out the truth about many things Santana had previously lied about. Brittany also enjoyed the faces Santana made when she was trying to hold an answer in or when she said something that she really didn't mean too.

The Unholy Trinity were gathered around Brittany and Santana's locker doing a quick make up check when Rachel walked past on her way to her own locker.

"What the hell is Manhands wearing today?" Quinn scoffs.

"I agree the argyle has to go but I like the skirts. They show off her legs and she has really nice legs."

The words were out of Santana's mouth before she could stop them.

"Did you just admit to checking out Berry?" Quinn asks.

"Yes, I do it all the time."

This time Santana slaps a hand over her mouth to stop herself from revealing any more.

"I need to go before I tell you anything else I don't want you to know"

"What is her problem?"

"I don't know but I need to go too. See you later Q" Brittany replies before chasing after Santana.

"Santana wait up. I need to talk to you. I know why you keep telling the truth."

Santana stops walking and turns towards her best friend.

"I don't understand."

"You're my best friend, but sometimes you lie to me and I know you're trying to protect me but I wanted to know the truth. So yesterday when I blew out my birthday candles I wished that you couldn't lie" Brittany explains.

"Brittany that isn't possible. I've told you before wishes don't come true."

"Do you want to date Rachel?"

"Yes. Damn it Brittany!"

"I'm sorry. I might have not thought it through properly" Brittany frowns.

"How long is it going to last. I can't let people find out about me."

"I only wished you wouldn't lie for a twenty four hours."

"When did you make this wish?" Santana asks.

"When I blew out my birthday candles" Brittany replies.

"Okay so I just have to make it until four without revealing anything which means I definitely have to stay away from Berry."

Santana didn't want to blame Brittany. She knows that her best friend didn't mean any harm when she made the wish. She just wished that Brittany hadn't made it on a school day. Her mouth had already gotten her into trouble this morning.

Every single cheerleader's jaw dropped when she told Sue what she really thought about her and her unorthodox teaching methods. She had to endure five laps around the football field for that slip of the tongue and she's still not convinced that will be her only punishment.

Other than keeping her eye out for coach Sylvester for the rest of the day she had also had run-ins with teachers and students throughout the day. She didn't care about some of the things she had said to some students, after all it was the truth and she probably would have said it regardless of Brittany's wish.

As much as Santana tried she hadn't be able to avoid Rachel all day. She had complimented Rachel's intelligence when they were paired up on a science experiment and she had even told Rachel that she looked good in her gym clothes. She was just appreciative that she managed to rein the compliments in so that they could be deemed friendly and nothing else.

All she had to do now was make it through glee and then the wish would be over. As she walked into the choir room, she got a couple of stares from the glee club, including Mr. Schue. This was probably due to the fact that she had told him that his Spanish was just as bad as his sense of style during his class.

Santana almost made it to the end of glee unscathed that was until Mr Schue had told the glee club that for the next competition Sam and Quinn would be taking the duet. It was expected that Rachel would be against the idea but nobody expected Santana to agree with her.

"I just think that with Rachel signing we would have a better chance at winning" Santana announces.

"I don't know what you're complaining about, you got the solo" Mercedes says.

"I'll give up my solo for Rachel."

Even Santana was shocked at that revelation. She never thought that she would give up the chance to be in the spotlight but it turns out for Rachel she would. She starts to feel uncomfortable under the intense stares from the glee club.

"You're making me feel uncomfortable so I'm going to leave."

Santana grabs her bag and heads to the door ignoring Mr. Schue who shouts that glee isn't over yet. She didn't care she just wanted to go home, but first she had to grab a couple of books she had left in her locker.

When Santana slams her locker door shut she's met with the face of Rachel Berry.

"What do you want?"

"I was just interested in knowing why you defended me in there" Rachel replies.

"I like when you sing and I stand by what I said in the choir room. I think without you we lessen our chances of winning."

"Is this joke? Are you messing with me?"

"I've never been so truthful in my life" Santana replies.

"Okay then since you're being truthful, why have you been so complimentary to me today?"

"You want the truth?" Santana asks.

"Yes."

"I'm in love with you. I've been in love with you since we first won at sectionals. I don't expect you to say anything."

"It's only right that I be honest with you since you were so honest with me. I'm not going to tell you that I'm in love with you, especially with our past, but I think that if I get to know this Santana you showed me today then I think one day I possibly could."

Santana can't help the big smile that appears on her face that is until she realizes something.

"Wait, why aren't you in glee club?"

"It finished" Rachel replies.

"What time is it?"

"Six minutes past four, why?"

"I've been able to lie for the past six minutes which means that it wasn't the wish that admitted my feelings it was me."

"I have no idea what you are talking about. Are you okay?" Rachel asks with slight concern in her voice.

"I'm great."

When Brittany made the wish to allow her best friend to tell the truth for twenty four hours, she did it so that Santana would be truthful to her but by making that wish she also allowed Santana to be truthful to herself.
