So I apologize ahead of time...it's a short chapter. But it's the date...or really a slight tell of the date. Not much talking involved. Uhh, yeah that's about it, but if there's something you'd like to see in here that hasn't happened or go more in depth about, don't be afraid to let me know. I like getting people's input. You can leave it in a review or you can p.m me...or go onto my new tumblr page that I have up for my stories. So if fanfic doesn't let you read the newest chapter you can go on there. it's landofpezberry. tumblr. com
Santana was excited. She knew this was going to be an epic date. She didn't go with what was in her dream or nightmare, whatever you want to call it. She figured that would be too cliché. No, she wants to do this right and when they get to school on Monday, she's gonna sing to her. She just has to figure out when, since they're not in the same glee club anymore. But back to this excitement. Santana was currently on her way to Rachel's. She told her she would pick her up at 7 Friday night since her date was going to take some putting together. Arriving at the Berry residence she went to the door, rang the bell and waited. Leroy opened the door and Santana was slightly afraid of the man, he was scary okay. So she made small talk with the Berry fathers and waited about 5 minutes for Rachel, she was early. Once all the pleasantries were over with, you know the shy smiles and the 'you look nice', they were off. No matter how many times Rachel asked Santana wouldn't tell her where they were going. Finally, after about half an hour of top 40s and songs from musicals they stopped at an old shut down theater.
"So, I know you like old movies and musicals, but I had no idea whether or not you've seen them like in a theater before," Santana said taking Rachel's hand and leading her towards the building. "But I figured it was worth a shot and if you hated the idea then I'd try something else if you agree to another date. I wasn't assuming you'd say yes," she rambled.
"Well, so far you're doing good," Rachel said glancing down to their conjoined hands. "What movie are we seeing? And why here?"
"Well, the guy that owns this place is my dad's friend and the only reason this place isn't open anymore is because people stopped coming since it's very old fashioned and they opened up the one in Lima that was all new and modern," she stated walking towards the concession stand. "Don't worry I made sure that there were options that you could have. Just pick whatever you want, it's covered," she said grabbing some airheads, bottle caps, and a soda. Rachel grabbed practically the same thing, plus some popcorn. Heading towards the only open door in the theater they took a seat in the middle, about half way up. "So I figured even though you've seen this movie like a million times it'd be even better on a classic like 50s style projection," she stated as the opening started.
Rachel let out a light squeal and hugged Santana. "We're watching Funny Girl?"
"Yes."
"Best. Date. Ever," she said looking back to the screen.
Santana just smiled, bit into an airhead and got comfortable. When the movie had intermission, she offered to go get Rachel a refill and whatever else she needed. She also told her where the bathroom was, reassuring her that while the theater was closed down, the owner still kept it clean. So far so good. She couldn't help but smile when Rachel quietly sang along to the movie, mouthing the dialogue, she could do this everyday of her life and never get tired of it. Once the movie was over, it was about 10:30, so she had around an hour and a half to get back to Lima and to the final part of their date, all while having Rachel home by midnight. An hour and a half. She so needed a reward for planning this so good.
It was right around 11 when they pulled into the local park. Walking the short distance to a gazebo, Rachel couldn't believe it. It was like Santana had climbed into her mind and pulled out the things Rachel dreamed someone would do for her. There were candles(fake lighted because those fuckers could burn shit), lilacs and a small table with two chairs in the middle. Dinner. Over dinner they talked about glee, what they planned on doing, that's where Santana learned that while Rachel really wanted to get into NYADA, she had backup plans, Julliard, NYU, a school in Ohio that was famous for it's theater department, she wasn't stupid. Rachel learned that while Santana got a scholarship to University of Kentucky for cheerleading, she wasn't sure she wanted to do that, she was considering New York. Columbia, NYU, even Brown. She was considering pre-law. When they finished, Santana decided she wanted to piggyback Rachel back to the car, to which Rachel giggled the entire time. Once they pulled into the Berry driveway, Santana parked and turned the engine off. Getting out of the car and going over to the passenger side, she opened the door and held out her hand for Rachel(what chivlary isn't dead fuckers!), and walked her to the door.
"I had a wonderful time, Santana," Rachel said shyly. "I didn't think you would ever do something that sweet."
"Yeah, well" she shrugged. "It was no big deal. You deserved it," she said looking at the girl. 'So beautiful' "So, how would you feel about a second date?"
"I'd like that a lot."
"Alright, well I'll text you when I get home, so you know that I made it and then I'll talk to you tomorrow?"
"That's fine. And thank you." With that Santana pulled the shorter girl into a hug, pulling away she gave Rachel a kiss on the cheek and said her goodnight. Rachel Berry was home at exactly 11:50.
Going back to the park, Santana packs everything up and realizes that she has a second date with Rachel Berry. That in itself is an amazing thing, so with renewed energy, happiness, whatever else she's feeling, she heads home, texts Rachel once she's there and looks at her parents schedule for tomorrow. They're both free. Breakfast for them it is. So she heads to her room, pulls out her laptop and goes over in her mind the song again. It's gotta be perfect.
