Friday 4th of May

Prom was just around the corner, it was in 2 weeks. Brittany and the prom committee had settled on a dinosaur theme. It was rather unorthodox but the students seemed to like it.

Santana and Brittany knew they would be going together, they just hadn't formally asked one another. Brittany wanted to do it the proper way and ask her girlfriend to prom. She had a plan.


"Just a little further." Brittany said as she directed Santana through the hallways of McKinley. Santana had a blindfold on and was being dragged by the hands.

She heard a door creak to signal it being opened and she was pulled through. Brittany's hands rested on her shoulders to tell her to stay still. She heard footsteps walking away from her.

"And open!" Brittany called out excitedly. Santana removed the blindfold from her face to reveal Brittany stood with a bouquet of flowers in the empty choir room.

"Are those lilies?" Santana asked as she took in the scene before her.

"Yep! They're the lesbian of flowers!" Brittany giggled. Santana smiled at her girlfriend's way of thinking.

Brittany took a few steps closer and handed her the flowers. She then stepped back and took a deep breath.

"Santana Lopez, as you know the school dance is a couple weeks away and nothing would make me happier than to arrive with you on my arm and spend the whole evening dancing and singing with you. Would you like to go to prom with me?" She asked.

"Of course, I'd love to." Santana replied. "Thank you for formally asking me Miss Pierce." She giggled.


Friday 18th of May

The girls had agreed to get ready separately. They had keept their dresses a surprise so they didn't know how the other would look. It was destined to be a magical evening that they wouldn't forget.

Santana had chosen a red dress to compliment her caramel skin tone and dark eyes. It hugged her tightly around her upper body and flowed out into a ruffled bottom. It had a single strap that sat over her left shoulder. Her hair was split in half, the top was braided and ran down her back, the bottom was gently curled and flowed freely over her shoulders. She completed the outfit with a simple pair of black heels.

She walked downstairs to find her parents waiting for her.

"Oh mija, you look beautiful!" Maribel enthused.

"You look stunning sweetie. You'll be the prettiest one there." Raphael agreed.

"Actually, I'll be the second prettiest, Britt will be the first." Santana corrected.

Her parents beamed at her. They took plenty of photos of her. Then all three of the Lopez family went over next door.


They were welcomed into the house and stepped into the kitchen. Santana anxiously waited for her date to come downstairs and reveal her outfit.

"Brittany! Hurry up, the prom would have finished by the time you're ready." David called up the stairs to his daughter. He walked back into the kitchen shaking his head with a smirk.

"Coming!" Brittany shouted as she bound down the stairs. She was wearing a white shirt and a white suit jacket. She had a black bow tie and a flowing blue skirt. Her hair was slick back in a braid and hung down her back.

"Woah B! You look great!" Santana said as she stood up and looked the blonde over. She loved her individual fashion sense.

"Look at you!" Brittany replied. "Stunning!" They both smiled at each other. "Oh, I got this for you." Brittany said as she pulled out a corsage made of white lilies. "I didn't know what colour your dress would be so I thought white would go with everything. And you're a lesbian so the flower represents you."

"Aww this is perfect. Thank you B." Santana said as the blonde slid the corsage on to her wrist.

"I just want a couple of photos, then you can go have fun." Susan said as she pulled out her phone.

The parents stood there taking pictures of the teenage girls with different angles, backgrounds, poses and combinations of people. After a few minutes the girls climbed into Santana's car and made their way to the prom.


The girls walked into the gym hand in hand. They took in the sight before them. Dinosaur and prehistoric decorations filled the room. McKinley students were happily chatting away and dancing to the new direction boys singing one direction.

The girls went over to have their photo taken on the dinosaur set. They slipped into the booth smiled for the camera and exited again. They were eager to start their evening.

The song ended and the crowd applauded the mini boyband. Quinn walked onto the stage with Rachel and they adjusted the mic stands. Brad and the band began to play 'take my breath away'.

"May I have this dance?" Brittany asked as she bowed down and held out her hand for the brunette.

"Oh course you may." Santana answered as she curtsied and took the offered hand.

Brittany pulled them close so their bodies were flush. She wrapped her arm around Santana's waist and held their joint hands out as she lead them around the dance floor.

Brittany was an excellent dancer and she enjoyed dancing with Santana more than anything. She loved the way their bodies mould together and connected emotionally. They followed the beat of the song and glided through the other couples.

Santana stole a glance up to the stage to meet Quinn's eyes. Quinn winked and smiled back at her friend.

The song finished and the girls pulled away from their embrace. They cheered for Quinn and Rachel, their voices sounded amazing together. They were replaced on stage by Tina and Artie.

"Oh, I'm on after these two. I'm going to grab some punch and then I'll head back stage. See you in a bit." Santana explained. She gave Brittany a quick kiss goodbye. She had prepared a performance for the evening.

She strolled over the punch bowl which was guarded by Sue. The coach poured her a glass and she sipped at it. She turned around and watched Artie sing some Michael Jackson song.

"Sandbags, watch the bowl, I'll be one minute." Sue instructed. Santana nodded. She felt a tap on her ankle and looked down to find Puck hiding under the table. He crawled out and stood up.

"Thanks Lopez, I thought she would never leave!" He said. Santana was confused, and then she remembered how Puck tried to spike the punch every year.

"Okay Puck, you'll never do it. I guarantee she catches you and kicks you out like she did last year, and the year before." Santana said with a smirk. She watched the boy pull out a silver flask from his jacket, he unscrewed the cap and was about to start pouring when he heard a shout.

"PUCKERMAN! BACK AWAY FROM THE PUNCH BOWL!" Sue shouted as she stormed towards the boy. He ran away in sheer terror, the kind only the cheerio's coach could induce.

Sue resumed her position guarding the fruity drink and Santana walked off to prepare for her song.


Santana walked on stage. She was immediately hit by the bright lights. She took up her position at the front and lowered the microphone stand. The band began playing and she started to sing 'love you like a love song'.

A few Cheerios were dancing behind her and singing the occasional backing vocals. The dance floor was filled with students all jumping around and bumping into one another. Brittany stood right at the front and danced, she kept her eyes on Santana the whole time.

Santana took a second to wink at her girlfriend and Brittany traced a heart around her face in return. They smiled.

When Santana finished her performance, she received a round of applause and a variety of whistles and whoops from the audience. She stepped off stage and was immediately tackled to the ground by Brittany.

"You were awesome!" Brittany said enthusiastically as she hugged her girlfriend and peppered kisses all over her face. "I'm so proud of you!"

Santana just laughed. Once Brittany had stopped her attack, they stood up. "Thanks B. It was fun."

Brittany smiled. She was so glad Santana had gained the confidence to show her talents to the rest of McKinley.


The girls spent the rest of the evening talking to their friends, dancing together, drinking punch and watching the glee club. It was a great evening. They had also been invited to Karofsky's after party which everyone was going to.

As the prom drew to a close they had one last dance to 'the first time ever I saw your face'. They soaked up the romantic atmosphere and held each other tight.

"Come on, let's go!" Blaine called out to everyone. He was trying to move the party to Karofsky's. The girls nodded and walked out hand in hand. They thought about how much fun they had and how lucky they are to have found each other.


Next time: a picnic
