Tina, Mike and Jason were already at Breadstix when the Unholy Trinity arrived, the hostess running at the sight of Santana made the Latina smirk, she didn't wait to talk to anyone she just headed for the other trio. Extra bread sticks and three ice teas with lemon were waiting for them. Jason smiled "Hey Moe."
"Curly." Santana nodded letting Quinn slip in next to him and then Brittany.
"Like the stooges?" Quinn asked curiously.
"The teachers started it, they called us the Three Stooges." Tina explained "So when we found out who they were we started calling each other the names, Santana got to be Moe because he was in charge and Jason has curly hair so he's Curly," Jason chuckled rubbing his shaved head. "I'm Larry by default." Santana glared at the waitress as she scurried by, another one right behind her slipped a children's menu on the table with crayons. Santana slid them over to Brittany who beamed.
"Tic tac toe?" Tina offered, Jason watched Brittany smile and hand the Asian girl a red crayon, making an x Brittany moved the paper to the center of the table, Tina smiled marking an o.
"So how are you finding McKinley?" Quinn asked Jason.
"Interesting...the cheerleaders are following me around."
"Sue likes us dating football players." Santana explained. "If we tell them you're off limits they'll leave you alone, unless there's a girl you like, then we'll nudge her your way." with the way the girls were throwing themselves at him Santana knew no girl would say no.
"Um..no, the girl I like has a boyfriend." Jason sulked, Quinn simply arched her eyebrow when Tina said.
"I'm sure you and Santana could scare him away."
"No..." the group looked at him, he'd practically shouted it, clearing his throat Jason explained "He's a nice guy, she's totally head over heels... it would hurt her if they broke up." Quinn glanced at Santana who rolled her eyes at her in agreement, Tina was clueless to see Jason had a crush on her. "Who are you dating?" Jason asked Santana getting the attention off himself.
"I used to date Matt back when Brittany dated Mike freshman year, but no we're single." Santana sipped her drink, the group knew better than to mention Puck.
"Santana says there's no other nice boys on the team," Brittany said without looking up from the paper as she drew another x. "she says I can only date nice boys." Tina gave a small smile marking the paper.
Santana shrugged not saying anything. "So who are you dating?" Jason asked Quinn.
"No one. Santana's right there's really no other nice boys on the team." Quinn shook her head.
"Shane's nice." Mike spoke up "And so's Sam."
"But Shane's got a thing for Mercedes." Brittany quipped.
"Wait? Seriously?" Santana straightened up.
"He looks at Cededs like Mike looks at Tina." Brittany marked the paper again not noticing Tina looking right at her or Mike blushing. "When I caught him he sounded like Tina used to." Tina rolled her eyes knowing Brittany was talking about the stuttering.
"It's true, he's always talking about her." Jason nodded "He said she sings beautifully."
"She does." Tina nodded. "You should actually stick around during a Glee practice and hear her, Santana too."
"Tina too," Mike added "Mr. Schue favors Rachel but everyone can really sing, almost everyone." Mike smirked, the girls chuckled.
"We're the best dancers." Brittany finally looked up, smiling she held her hand up to Mike, giving Brittany a hi-five Mike smiled back at her. "Santana too... we need another boy dancer, Matt was always Santana's partner." Brittany said sadly.
"We'll find someone Britt," Tina smiled "I promise." Brittany nodded frowning at the paper before marking it.
"Right now we just need enough people to qualify." Quinn frowned.
"Happy thoughts." Mike tapped the table "Our football team is actually worth cheering for."
"I hold my opinion until after I see you guys play the first game." Santana snorted "A few good players don't make up for crappy coaching and horribly untalented bullies."
"Coach Beiste is way better than Tanaka," Mike promised "she has the fire he didn't, I mean she's making Finn try out for quarterback not just giving it to him."
"She's not afraid of Sue I'll give her that." Santana nodded watching Tina finish her game with Brittany, Quinn watched Santana lightly tap her cup against the table then give a quick head tilt to Jason. Clearing her throat Tina handed the crayon to Jason, Brittany marked her x before pushing the paper back to Tina, Tina slid the paper to Jason causing Brittany to frown, Jason marked the paper sliding it over to Brittany. Santana tilted her head lightly bumping it against Brittany's murmuring "Please B? For me?"
"K." Brittany muttered, marking the x she pushed the paper to Quinn who pushed it to Jason.
Jason said nothing but marked the o and slid it back over, it took a few times pushing the paper back and forth before Brittany cracked a smile. "You're really bad at this." Brittany giggled putting her final mark on the paper, Santana smirked.
"More into lifting weights and martial arts." Jason admitted marking the paper and slipping it back to Brittany.
"Is Marshell nice?" Brittany asked scanning the paper.
"Not that Marshell sweetie." Santana softly corrected "He means the fighting martial, like karate."
"Oh. Dad wanted me to do that but I didn't want to be a stereo type." Brittany nodded "I mean really an Asian that knows how to fight."
"Um..." narrowing his eyes Jason studied Brittany's features, a tall slender blonde claiming to be Asian was the oddest thing he'd heard.
"Brittany's dad is Korean." Quinn explained "Britt took after her mom, her sister looks more like their dad."
"Oh." he nodded still confused.
"Did you know dolphins are gay sharks?" Brittany asked. Santana's head snapped up from the menu she was reading, watching Jason for any kind of reaction.
Jason nodded looking as if he was trying to understand what Brittany said "Where did you hear that?"
"Animal Planet." Brittany looked up from the game "You lost."
"That's okay." he nodded. "So the dolphins are gay?"
"And ducks and penguins and a bunch of other animals, there's even a penguin that likes everybody." Brittany explained.
"I heard about that." Tina piped up causing the entire table, except Brittany to look at her like she was crazy. "No seriously." pulling out her phone Tina quickly tapped it before handing it to Mike. "See, they were together for years and even had a daughter together." Tina's phone quickly passed around the table as the group read the article. Eyebrow arched Quinn read the article on the penguins before handing it to Santana who was just as surprised.
By the end of dinner Jason was happy that he'd won Brittany over, she was odd but she was nice just like everyone promised, she didn't even glare when he hugged Santana.
