Song: 10,000 hours – Justin Bieber and Dan+Shay – Brittany and the boys: Bold, Puck and the boys: Italic.
After a night of barely sleeping, the group walks into the school with the boys and B wearing their Letterman jackets and smile as the students start cheering. Coach Beiste walks over to her team smiling proudly and looks at Brittany. '' How are you feeling Brittany?''
'' I am fine coach, still a little headache but I can live with that.''
Coach Beiste nods her head and smiles. '' I am glad that you are okay, I know we didn't get to celebrate the championship win yesterday so Principal Figgins decided to move it to today. He invited everyone last night so please be join us after lunch on the football field.''
Puck nods his head and smiles. '' We will be there coach.''
'' Twins, Fabray, Pierce my office now!''
Brittany growls softly as Sue storms past them and looks up at their coach as the girls follow her. '' Coach can I ask you a quick question?''
'' Yes of course.''
'' Would you hold any of us back for training when our family, friends or girlfriends get injured during training or a game?''
'' What? No never.'' Beiste states shocked.
Brittany nods her head and sighs. '' That is all I wanted to know, thank you.'' She turns to the group and bites her lip. '' Let's go, our parents are already talking to Figgins.''
She jogs down the hallway knowing the group will follow and knocks on Sue's door walking in, she walks over to her girlfriend and stands behind her smiling as she sees Rachel walking up to Quinn and the rest of their friends pile in standing behind them.
Sue looks up at them and glares. '' I didn't invite you!''
'' Yeah, I don't care.'' She replies glaring back, she leans down grabbing the bag her girlfriend dropped in front of her and places it on Sue's desk. '' I think these uniforms belong to you, now if you excuse us we really don't want to be here.'' She intertwines her hand with her girlfriends and wraps an arm around her sisters shoulders pulling them out of the office ignoring Sue as the yells for them to come back, Santana leans into her and sighs softly.
'' Thank you babe, I don't think we all want to hear her lecturing us again.''
Brittany chuckles and leads them down the hallway as the three other girls agree, she kisses her girlfriends head as they near Figgins office and smiles. '' I am just glad that she can't terrorize any of you again.''
'' Twins, Fabray come here now!''
Brittany turns around as she hears Sue yell and rolls her eyes. '' They are not your dogs Sue.''
'' Shut up Pierce and get your sister away from my cheerios, I will gladly let her go she wasn't that good.''
'' She was one of the best! She brought us to the top with her double back flip off the pyramid last year!'' Naya yells intertwining her hands with her girlfriends. '' You are just angry because she didn't want to do the canon trick!''
'' Shut up!''
Brittany let's go of her girlfriend and takes a step closer to Sue. '' Just leave them alone Sylvester, no need to try to get them back because they won't come back!''
Sue takes a step closer to her and glares snarling as she doesn't back down. '' Get out of my way Pierce! I always hated the football team and you joining just made it worse.''
Brittany chuckles and looks up at her returning the glare. '' Not used to someone who isn't scared of you huh? And without the team your cheerios would be nothing, you had no one to cheer for!''
'' You do know that I can make the rest of your senior year a hell right? I can also make sure they.'' She points at her four ex-head cheerleaders. '' Won't graduate.''
Brittany raises an eyebrow and smirks as she sees Figgins and their parents stepping up behind Sue. '' Yeah you might want to discuss that with Principal Figgins and our parents.''
'' Sue my office now!'' Figgins calls out walking past her to his office, Sue's eyes widen and she quickly turns to the blonde growling.
'' You set me up!''
Brittany shakes her head and smiles slightly. '' Nope our moms decided to talk with Figgins after they heard how you talked to them yesterday.'' She takes her phone out of her pocket and ends the recording she just made. '' But I did record everything, so if you try to sabotage any of them graduating I will send this to the headboard and you can explain the rest to them!''
Brittany stands tall as Sue walks towards her and turns her head watching her walk into the principals office after she shoulder checked her, she walks over to the row of lockers as soon as the door closes and drops against it massaging her temples softly groaning.
'' 1 to 10 honey?'' Susan asks concerned as she walks over to her daughter, Brittany sighs knowing she asks about how much pain she is in and bites her lip.
'' 5 close to 6 mom.''
Susan sighs and places her cold hand on the bandage, she kisses her temple and turns to the group. '' Figgins gave you all free time until lunch so you can rehearse of glee or learn, is there a room where you all can chill and she can lay down?''
'' The choir room is always free.'' Rachel mumbles also looking at Brittany in concern, Susan nods her head and turns to her daughter.
'' Go and take a nap honey, if it get worse please call me and we will pick you up.''
Brittany nods her head and kisses her cheek. '' I will, see you later mama.''
Susan kisses her head and walks to Heather also kissing her head. '' Be careful and we will be back for the party around lunch.''
Brittany pushes herself off of the lockers as their parents walk away after saying goodbye and groans. '' A nap sounds pretty good right now.''
Santana smiles and wraps an arm around her waist. '' Yeah thought so too, come on baby.''
Brittany smiles following the group to the choir room and walks in, she walks over to the chairs and pulls a few together immediately laying down. Santana smiles slightly and walks over to her she sits down in one of the chairs and pulls her girlfriend down smiling as she immediately lays her head in her lap burying her face in her stomach. She runs her hand through her hair and leans down kissing her head. '' Did you take a painkiller?''
Brittany nods her head keeping her head buried in her stomach and sighs. '' Yeah.'' Santana nods her head and keeps stroking her hand through her hair.
'' Take a nap babe, love you.''
'' Mh love you too.''
Santana smiles as her girlfriend quickly falls asleep and looks up at the group smiling as she sees them split up in small groups learning, she clears her throat and turns to her sister. '' Sis, can you give me my schoolwork out of my bag please?''
'' She out?'' Heather asks as her girlfriend brings the bag to Santana, Santana glances down at her girlfriend and nods her head looking back up at her.
'' Yeah, thank god.''
'' You okay?'' Heather asks softly walking up to her, Santana nods her head and sighs.
'' I will be, seeing her in pain sucks.'' She takes her biology homework out of her bag and pulls the empty chair next to her closer, Heather sits down in front of her and smiles slightly.
'' Yeah it does but the season is over now, B has a hard head nothing can break it.''
Santana chuckles and nods her head in agreement. '' True, sometimes she is too hard headed.''
Naya laughs and leans over Brittany kissing her sisters cheek. '' Same goes for you hermana, you are hard headed too but that kinda makes your relationship with B so good. The both of you are stubborn and hot headed but in your relationship and during fights the both of you can stay quite calm.''
'' Yeah you girls even talk about it the same day.'' Heather adds smiling
'' That is because we made the promise to never leave or go to sleep angry and we made the promise to always tell I love you to each other no matter how mad we are.''
'' That are two good promises San, who came up with it?'' Mercedes asks as she leans into her boyfriend.
'' B did after we had a fight and both left angry and without saying that we love each other, that was the day I fell off the pyramid and if it wasn't for B I sure would have broken a few bones.''
'' Oh that day!'' Finn exclaims smiling sheepishly as they all shush him, Santana immediately looks down at her girlfriend as she groans and runs a finger down her cheek.
'' It's okay mi amor, go back to sleep.''
She looks back up and smiles as the whole group joined her sister and Heather sitting in front of her, Marley leans back into her boyfriend and smiles as Puck wraps his arms around her waist. '' What happened?'' She asks curiously looking at the group, Puck looks at her and smiles kissing her cheek.
'' We all had training and the girls who didn't train sat on the bleachers, it was a little windy outside and Sue made the girls form a huge pyramid with the four head cheerleaders on top.''
'' During one of our water breaks we looked over and saw the pyramid sway because the girls didn't really know how to stand still with every burst of wind coming at them, I think Britt had a bad feeling and kept a watchful eye on them while still focusing on our training too.'' Mike adds looking around at his friends.
'' Britt was at the far end of the field catching a wide throw from Puck when we all heard the panicked yell and we turned to look at the cheerios, we saw them all sway badly and froze the second we saw one of the junior cheerleaders lose her grip on Santana.'' Finn mumbles biting his lip.
'' Before any of us could react Britt was already sprinting to the pyramid at full speed taking off her helmet in the progress and managed to catch Santana before she hit the ground, she managed to cross the football field and the small fence in between both of our fields and still reach Santana on time.'' Puck continues
'' I think that it would've ended really badly if Britt didn't reach her on time, they weren't standing on any mats so she would've hit the ground from that high up.'' Rachel adds biting her lip.
Mercedes nods her head and sighs. '' Yeah it would have, but thank god B is insanely fast and prevented the worse.''
'' She had bruises for weeks because I pushed her pads into her ribs and gripped tightly on her arms the second I felt her arms around me, but every time I tried to apologize she would shush me and told me that it was worth it because I didn't get hurt.'' Santana mumbles looking down at her girlfriend with a small smile, Heather smiles and turns to the group.
'' She almost fought with Sue that day too.''
'' Seriously?!'' Madison asks shocked, Naya nods her head and chuckles.
'' Oh yeah B was pissed that Sue was so irresponsible and almost injured all her cheerios because she wanted to train during a storm so she flipped out, Sue yelled at her because she crossed the fence she build in between both fields and interrupted her training.''
'' B would've attacked her if we didn't held her back, at that moment she didn't care that Sue was a teacher. Thank god Beiste saw it and send us all back inside to get changed and canceled both trainings.'' Heather adds smiling as she glances at her sister.
'' After that we sat down and talked, that is when B came up with both promises. She wanted us to never leave angry or not say I love you to each other, because watching me fall and hearing me yell scared the shit out of her.'' Santana continues running her fingers through her girlfriends hair with a loving smile.
'' I was also scared to lose you and a stupid fight about god knows what just isn't worth not showing or telling you how much I love you, sure there will be fights because we both are stubborn as fuck but I am sure that we both will make sure that they won't last long.'' Brittany mumbles tiredly keeping her face buried in her girlfriends stomach. '' Besides the make up s…''
'' Okay enough babe!'' Santana interrupts blushing, Brittany turns her head squinting against the light and smirks tiredly as the group burst out laughing.
'' Oops.''
'' Tmi sis.'' Heather mutters chuckling, Brittany turns to her and smirks.
'' Oh I didn't even start yet.''
'' And you won't'' Santana warns softly, Brittany turns back to her and smiles cupping her cheek. She leans up without using her arms to push herself up and quickly pecks her lips, she lays back down and winks.
'' Believe me babe, that are stories nobody will hear.''
'' Aw man!''
Brittany grabs her girlfriends pencil and blindly throws it in Puck's direction as she hears him whine. '' Ow fuck!'' She laughs as she hears him hiss and turns her head smirking as she sees Marley glaring at him.
'' Not a good move to whine about not hearing any interesting stories, when you have your girlfriend sitting on your lap dude.''
Puck tightens his hold around his girlfriend as she tries to stand up and kisses her cheek. '' Just joking baby, I like our stories.''
'' If you ever tell them to any of them, I will cut you off for years.'' Marley mumbles warningly, Britt laughs as she sees the panic in his eyes and shakes her head.
'' Oh she means it Puck, thank god none of us want to hear about any of us getting laid.''
'' Thank god for soundproofed rooms.'' Naya and Santana mumble in unison, Quinn turns to them and smirks.
'' Does that mean that the both of you are screamers?''
Brittany sucks in her lips laughing softly as her girlfriend blushes and quickly turns her head burying her face into her stomach as she glances down at her glaring, Santana rolls her eyes as she feels her laugh into her stomach and slaps her shoulder. '' Cállate, mi amor.''
'' Yeah Shut up Quinn, or do I have to start about the first sleepover we all had with Britt and Heath?'' Naya mutters turning to her best friend raising an eyebrow, she smirks as she blushes bright red and nods her head. '' Yeah thought so Fabray.''
'' Hold up!'' Mercedes and Santana call out in unison, Santana looks at Quinn and tilts her head. '' Didn't all the girls sleep in the same room that day?''
'' Yeah sure did.'' Brittany mumbles shuddering, she turns her head and fake glares at Rachel and Quinn. '' I may fall asleep fast, but I am a light sleeper.''
'' Oh hell to the no, please don't tell me the two of you got laid with all of us in the room!'' Mercedes and Tina call out glaring at them.
'' Oh would you look at the time, we need to go to the ceremony!'' Rachel squeaks out jumping up, she quickly pulls her girlfriend up with her and runs out of the choir room.
Brittany sits up stretching and turns to her sister chuckling. '' Be glad you sleep like a rock sis.''
Naya chuckles and turns to her sister. '' Yeah hermana, be glad you were already out cold when they started.''
'' Oh they are never gonna live this down!'' Tina mumbles chuckling, Brittany laughs and holds her hand out for a low five.
'' We will make sure of that T.''
'' Note to self, never share a room with Q and Rach.'' Madison mumbles leaning into Finn, Finn laughs and kisses her head.
'' Noted babe.''
'' Yeah please remind us about that too Madi!'' Marley mumbles smiling as her boyfriend nods his head in agreement, Brittany laughs and turns to Puck.
'' Hey Puck you wanted a tattoo right?'' She smirks as he nods his head and shrugs. '' Tattoo that on your forehead, that way we will never forget it!''
'' Fuck you B.'' Puck mumbles as everyone burst out laughing, he looks at the time and taps his girlfriends thigh. '' We really need to go now though, the ceremony will start in five!''
'' Oh shit.'' Brittany mumbles jumping up, she turns to her girlfriend and runs a hand through her hair. '' Do I look okay?''
'' Perfect baby.'' Santana mutters jumping up, she pecks her on the lips and grabs their bags. '' Go ahead babe we will follow and sit in the stands, I think you have to be there a little earlier.''
Brittany nods her head and kisses her softly, she turns on her heels after she told her to go now and looks at the boys. '' Ready?''
She jumps down the rows as they nod their heads and smirks. '' Race ya!'' She immediately takes off into a sprint and laughs as they all yell at her for cheating.
'' Yo B, wait up!'' Puck yells running down the hallway with the boys, they catch up with her as she slows down and he turns his head smiling slightly. '' Prom is coming up, did you ask San already?''
'' No not yet why?'' Brittany asks slowing down to a quick walk, Sam wraps an arm around her shoulders and smiles.
'' Well Heath and Q already did, want to sing for our girls after receiving the trophy? Puck will clear it with coach and we can find some objects for makeshift instruments or do it acapella.'
'' Yeah sounds good, what song?''
'' You will know it as soon as you hear the melody.'' Finn mumbles smiling as they walk outside onto the football field, Brittany chuckles and shrugs as Puck runs off to talk to their coaches.
'' We need flowers.'' She takes out her phone and smirks. '' I am sure mom and Maribel will grab some for us, every girl one bouquet?'' She quickly sends her mother a message as they nod their heads and walks up to their coach, Beiste looks at them and smiles.
'' Puck told me about your idea and I think that it's wonderful! After retrieving the trophy I will make sure you will get some headsets so you can sing, I will also make sure your family and friends sit in the front row.''
'' Thanks coach!'' Brittany and the boys say in unison smiling brightly, coach Beiste nods her head and smiles.
'' Alright we are about to start, please zip up your Letterman jackets and stand on stage please!''
Brittany nods her head and zips up her jacket, she follows Puck to the stage and smiles as the boys pull her in between them.
Fifteen minutes later.
Beiste walks up onto the stage and lifts the microphone in her hand smiling slightly. '' Hello ladies and gentleman and thank you for coming to this ceremony to celebrate the win of our favorite football team, I know most of you know them so I will skip the introductions that will only bore you.''
Brittany chuckles as everyone laughs and glances at the boys. '' Beiste is nervous.'' Puck nods his head in agreement and watches her hand the microphone over to Figgins.
Figgins takes Beiste's spot and smiles. '' Hello I am principal Figgins but I think you all know me!'' He smiles as everyone agrees with him and nods his head. '' We are here today to celebrate our McKinley Football team winning the state championship for the first time in three years! The players in this team are all friends and some of them played for four years together, we only have one student that joined us during her junior year and who helped us win the championship!''
Brittany chuckles as her teammates pat her on the back and smiles at them, Figgins smiles at the girl and turns back to the crowd. '' We didn't get the chance to celebrate yesterday because the mentioned student got injured and had to go to the hospital which was quite a scare for all of us, but thank god she is okay and gets to be here with us today to celebrate.'' He turns to Brittany and smiles. '' I am talking about our wide receiver Brittany Pierce ladies and gentleman!'' He calls out mentioning her hand at her, Brittany rolls her eyes as the crowd roars and shakes her head as her teammates start chanting her name.
Figgins smiles as she waves at the crowd and calls her over, he takes a medal from Beiste and turns to the girl as she stops in front of him. '' Brittany you and the team showed us the spirit a football teams needs on the field and your last run where you got hurt also made us state champions, watching you sprint and scoring for the team almost every game and scoring the most important points for our team showed all of us that you really belong in this team!''
He calls Puck over and smiles as he walks up to him, he hands him the medal and smiles. '' Puckerman you are holding a medal for the player of the year, who do you think deserves this medal?'' He smiles knowingly as he points at Brittany the same time the whole team does it and watches him walk over to Brittany, Puck hangs the medal around her neck and takes the microphone from Beiste smiling as he sees the shock in Britt's eyes.
'' The principal and coach Beiste asked all of us who deserved this medal and we all agreed on you Britt, without you we wouldn't have won this trophy and we wouldn't be standing here right now. You made our team function your spirit and encouraging speeches made us fight harder and play faster, on the field you are our teammate but off the field you became an important part in most of our lives. At first we were friends but now we are more like a family, a strange one but still a family.'' He smiles as she chuckles and hugs her. '' Thank you for motivating us and bringing new energy into our team Pierce, I loved to play with you and I am sure we will still play for fun sometimes when we aren't to busy with our adult lives!''
He takes the trophy as coach Beiste walks up to them and calls his team over, he holds it out for Brittany and smiles. '' As one?''
Brittany nods her head and on the count of three they turn around holding up the trophy smiling as their teammates jump around them cheering loudly, Brittany yelps laughing as Sam and Finn lift her on their shoulders and smiles as Puck gets lifted up by Mike and Ryder one of their defenders.
After the crowd quieted down and Figgins starts talking about the team again, Brittany walks to Beiste as she calls them over and thanks her as she holds five headsets out for them.
She quickly puts hers on and turns to the boys as she walks over to cut Figgins off. '' Ready?'' Sam nods his head and holds out a pair of drumsticks for her.
'' You will know the beat as soon as Puck starts singing.''
Brittany takes it and nods her head.
'' Alright ladies and gentleman, five players have a small surprise for all of you. I hope you enjoy it.'' Beiste turns to them and smiles. '' The stage is all yours!''
Puck smiles lowering his headset and walks to the middle of the stage looking at his girlfriend.
Do you love the rain? Does it make you dance
When you're drunk with your friends at a party?
What's your favorite song, does it make you smile?
Do you think of me?
Brittany walks over to the chairs on the stage and joins in drumming to the beat immediately recognizing the song, she watches Mike walk up to Puck and smiles as she hears the both of them harmonize.
When you close your eyes, tell me, what are you dreamin'?
Everything, I wanna know it all
She smiles as Sam nudges her and they both walk over to the two boys with Finn, Puck nudges her and mutters. '' You take the lead.'' Brittany nods her head and jumps off the stage knowing the boys will follow, she jogs towards the bleachers and locks eyes with her girlfriend smiling as she sees the curiosity in her eyes.
I'd spend ten thousand hours and ten thousand more
Oh, if that's what it takes to learn that sweet heart of yours
And I might never get there, but I'm gonna try
If it's ten thousand hours or the rest of my life
I'm gonna love you (ooh, ooh ooh, ooh, ooh)
They jump onto the bleachers holding onto the bars and easily climb over it, Brittany smiles as Sam joins her in drumming on the bars and they all look at their respective girlfriends.
Do you miss the road that you grew up on?
Did you get your middle name from your grandma?
When you think about your forever now, do you think of me?
She crouches down in front of her girlfriend after taking the roses from her mother hiding them behind her back and cups her cheek with a small smile, she glances at the boys and sees them all sitting in the same position.
I'd spend ten thousand hours and ten thousand more
Oh, if that's what it takes to learn that sweet heart of yours
And I might never get there, but I'm gonna try
If it's ten thousand hours or the rest of my life
'' Santana Lopez will you go to prom with me?'' She asks pulling the bouquet of roses from behind her back, she smiles as the boys all ask their girlfriends the same question at the same time and hears the crowd coo.
Santana nods her head and smiles pulling her girlfriend closer. '' I would love to go with you Britt-Britt!''
Brittany smiles taking off her headset and leans in closer capturing her girlfriends lips in a loving kiss, Santana pulls out of the kiss and accepts the bouquet her girlfriend holds out for her. '' God I love you.''
Brittany smiles and pecks her on the lips. '' I love you too baby.'' She turns to the boys and smiles as she sees the girls all looking down at the flowers with a big smile, she holds out her fist and smirks. '' That was a good idea boys, but I would say that we need to go shopping soon.''
Puck laughs and fist bumps her nodding his head in agreement. '' Oh yeah, you joining us or the girls?''
Brittany raises an eyebrow and rolls her eyes as her mother starts laughing. '' I will go shopping with you, I don't think that I will survive another six hours roaming around the mall and only buying three things.'' She glances at her girlfriend and chuckles softly as she rolls her eyes. '' You know that I hate shopping babe, but I will still join you sometimes because I love spending time with you even if that means roaming around a shopping mall.''
Santana chuckles and kisses her cheek. '' I think we will all go shopping together babe, we can make it a girls and boys night.''
'' Hell yeah even after shopping we will have enough time to game!'' Sam exclaims excitedly, Brittany laughs and nods her head.
'' Yeah probably five hours.'' She flinches as her girlfriend pinches her and fake glares at her. '' Ow! It's the truth babe you all need hours to search for the perfect dress, but to me you look beautiful in everything.''
Maribel smiles as she sees her daughter blush and turns to Susan. '' B is quite the charmer.''
'' Oh you seen nothing yet Mari.'' Susan mumbles smiling.
'' Alright ladies and gentleman I think the promposal is a nice way to end this event! We will see each other during graduation day and next year when the season starts!'' Principal Figgins says through the microphone, Brittany stands up and pulls her girlfriend with her.
She turns to the group and smiles. '' You guys got any plans this weekend?''
'' Sleep in and game.'' Puck mumbles also standing up, he turns to her and smiles. '' What about you?''
'' We need to start packing, Demi's concert is tomorrow.'' She smiles as her mother walks down the bleachers and follows her wrapping her arm around her girlfriends shoulders.
'' Oh yeah that is tomorrow! Are you girls excited?'' Quinn asks looking at her best friends, Santana nods her head and cuddles into her girlfriend as they walk towards the parking lot.
'' Oh yeah, I am excited to meet Demi.''
Naya nods her head in agreement and chuckles. '' I hope she is as hot in person as she is in her videos.'' Brittany turns her head glancing down at her girlfriend as she nods her head in agreement and raises an eyebrow seeing her sister do the same, Quinn chuckles as she sees both blondes move as one to look down at their girlfriends and smirks looking at her best friends.
'' Yeah you girls might not want to drool over Demi with your girlfriends there.'' She says laughing as they stop at their cars, Santana looks up at her girlfriend and chuckles as she sees the expression on her face. She reaches up cupping her cheek and leans up on her tiptoes kissing her softly.
'' She is not as hot as you, mi amor.''
Brittany chuckles and kisses her head. '' No she is hotter but that's okay, I know you are coming home with me after the concert.''
'' I will always come home with you.'' Santana mumbles smiling as she cuddles back into her, Brittany smiles and looks at their friends.
'' We need to go home and start packing, we will send you a few photos from the concert and maybe bring some souvenirs.''
She smiles as Puck hugs her and kisses his cheek. '' If you need to get out of your house, you know that mom's door is always open for you.''
Puck nods his head and smiles. '' I know B.''
After saying goodbye to the group and driving home, the girls quickly packed their bags and enjoyed a relaxing night before going to bed early to leave in the middle of the night to drive to LA.
