The envelope is heavy in her hand. It's thick, not just phone bill thick, not just acceptance letter thick, it's love letter thick. It's Sopranos birthday party thick. Coloring, Brittany asks a question with her eyes.
Santana slow blinks her approval, and Brittany tears into the envelope.
Inside is definitely a love letter. At least twenty pages, handwritten, both sides. With hearts drawn on. And drawings in crayon, too.
"Can I read it now?"
"Mmhmm. But find the other thing first."
Brittany scrambles the pages out, but carefully puts them back in order. Then she sees the other envelope.
"It's a plane ticket?"
"Mmhmm. Open it."
"Los Angeles? Santana, there are three tickets in here."
"Mmhmm. For you, me, and—" "Me!" shrieks Sugar, from out in the hallway.
"I already had mine," says Mercedes, also just outside the classroom door.
Brittany's smile overtakes her entire body. She does a little happy dance.
"Troubletones reunion!" she squeals.
"Mmhmm, I know that's right."
