"Separate rehearsals this week?" Derek asks when Brittany comes walking in.
"Yeah since I'm not sick I convinced Sanny that we should have separate rehearsals." Brittany says smiling. "Though she did warn that she'll know if you try anything."
"I wouldn't dream of it." Derek says. "Frankly she scares me."
"She scares everyone it's normal." Brittany says shrugging.
"That doesn't bother you?" Derek asks.
"Nope it just means she loves me so much." Brittany says all smiles.
Derek just shakes his head before they start dancing. This week they are learning a contemporary dance to Disney's Frozen "Do you want to build a snowman." Brittany had pouted at him asking if they could dance to a Disney song. Derek is starting to understand why Santana's so whipped by Brittany. As normal Brittany easily picks up the steps after a few go throughs.
"Well I think we're done for the day. We'll meet again in two days." Derek says.
"Okay see you then." Brittany says waving as she leaves.
Derek really likes her and is pleasantly surprised that they don't need more than a few hours only two days a week to perfect the dances.
Meanwhile in another practice room Santana is not happy with her partner Mark. They are waltzing and she's finding it really hard to pick up.
"I hate this fucking dance!" Santana shouts as she trips over her feet again.
Mark takes a deep breath as she's really starting to get on his nerves.
"Okay let's take a ten minute break." Mark says.
"Good Britt texted me and I now she got out of practice early." Santana says momentarily glaring at him before turning her attention to her phone.
"That' s because she's a great dance." Mark says mostly to himself.
He only lasts another hour of dancing before he's had enough and sends her home for the night.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Sanny you need to be nicer to Mark." Brittany scolds her as they enter the practice studios.
"But Britt he….." Santana trails off unsure of what she wants say.
"Exactly he's trying to teach you a dance." Brittany says raising an eyebrow at him.
"Sorry baby I'll try to be nice." Santana says giving her wife a kiss on the cheek.
"Good now go to practice." Brittany says slapping her on the ass.
Mark is pleasantly surprised that today Santana's in a much better mood. She's even having an easier time picking up the moves today.

"Welcome to our third week here on Dancing with the Stars." Tom says. "Remember that this week is our double elimination week. Up first is Nick and Karina dancing the tango."
Nick and Karina come out separately. Nick does a backflip over a bench before pulling Karina into his arms. They start moving down the floor with Nick leading the whole time. Near the end of the song Nick starts twirling Karina and doesn't stop until the end of the song. Tom is over the moon about their performance and calls Julianne to start.
"That was one of the best tangos of the season thus far. It's impressive how much you've improved in just a week." Julianne says.
"Nick you need to keep your foot work clean. At points your feet look sloppy, but overall it was a very good performance." Bruno says.
"Nick, I love your singing and I now love your dancing. Way to go." Carrie Ann says.
They get a score of twenty-five.
"Up next to Santana and Mark." Tom says.
Santana takes a deep breath before stepping. She's ready to kick this dance in the ass. Mark does a back flip down the steps when the music starts before dancing over to her. She pretends to shove him away. After that they come together and start dancing. The whole time they dance she smiles not wanting to be called out for that.
"Wow you two did an amazing job." Tom says as they join him.
Santana raises an eyebrow at him while Mark honestly just laughs.
"I know, I know you want to hear what the judges say." Tom says rolling his eyes. "Bruno start us off."
"What an improvement." Bruno says standing up. "That was a beautiful dance head to toe."
"Oh my god you actually smiled." Carrie Ann says. "It was good to see you let loose and let the music really guide you."
Santana smiles and nods happy for the good reviews.
"You must have taken some lessons from your wife or something as your dancing was simply amazing." Julianne says smiling at Santana.
Santana starts walking up towards Erin with Mark following her. She frowns when she sees a camera man hitting on her wife who is holding their two years old daughter.
"So Mark what changed this week? Your partner just seemed way happier." Erin says.
"I don't know, but overall she just seemed more receptive this week." Mark says.
"Let's get the scores I've got things to do." Santana says focusing back on them.
"Okay Carrie Ann,"
"Nine,"
"Julianne,"
"Nine,"
"Bruno,"
"Eight,"
"That gives you a total of twenty-six." Erin says.
"Yeah I know," Santana says taking off over to her wife who is still getting hit on.
"Get away from my wife." Santana growls lunging at the camera man.
Brittany rolls her eyes as her wife as she tussles with the camera man.
"Mommy's silly," Brittany whispers in her daughter's ear.
"And stay away from my family!" Santana shouts as the camera man runs away.
"Was that really necessary?" Brittany asks her wife.
"Yes he was hitting on you." Santana growls.
"Thank you honey," Brittany says shaking her head.
While that is happening Diana and Maksim are announced as dancing the jive. Maksim starts out holding Diana up in the air before they start dancing. The whole time Diana has a huge smile on her face as she's just having so much fun. When they get the judges scores they tell her that it was obvious that she was having fun even though she had several miss steps. They get a respectable score of twenty.
"Our next couple is Peyton and Emma dancing the Rumba." Bruno says.
Peyton who sprained his ankle is having a hard time doing the dance. He's trying his best, but it just doesn't look pretty at all. By the end of the dance he's really hobbling around.
"I know you were injured during the week, but it looked like you were still injured and it definitely hurt your performance." Tom says as they walk over, well more like Peyton hops over.
"I'm really proud of Peyton here for pushing through injury." Emma says.
"Well let's see what the judges have to say." Tom says. "Julianne you're up first."
"All things considered you did okay, but the injury obviously affected your dancing." Julianne says.
The other two judges say very similar things, pointing out the injury really affecting his dancing and thus will be affecting his score. They head up to Erin to find out their score.
"Hopefully your injury doesn't get you kicked off this week." Erin says.
"Yeah I just feel bad for not doing my best." Peyton says.
"Don't you did your best." Emma says.
"You heard the woman." Erin says smiling. "Now let's find out your scores."
"Carrie Ann,"
"Five,"
"Julianne,"
"Five,"
"Bruno,"
"Five,"
"You have a score of fifteen." Erin says.
"Up next is Brandi and Valentin dancing the waltz." Tom says.
Brandi and Valentin dance extremely well. All the judges comment on how well they dance together and that it's one of the better dances they've seen this season. They score a twenty-nine with only Bruno not giving them a ten.
Following them Jimmy and Cheryl go dancing the cha cha. Jimmy spins Cheryl around like a pro and even does a semi good backflip. The judges tell them that they danced well, but Jimmy still need to work on his foot work. They end up scoring a twenty-two.
"Dancing last, but certainly not least is Brittany and Derek dancing contemporary to Disney's "Do you want to build a snowman?"." Tom says.
Derek comes out dressed like a prince as Brittany comes out dressing as a princess. They glide around together with ease as normal. By the end of the song the whole audience is on their feet cheering.
"Wow what a way to end our show tonight." Tom says. "As we're running out of time judges please keep your comments short."
"Wow just wow." Julianne says. "Each week you keep getting better and better which is scary to the other contestants considering that you're obviously a dancer."
"You are simply amazing. One small note your feet and posture sometimes slips more into a hip-hop, club dance sloppiness for a few steps. Try to keep them on ballroom dancing the whole time." Bruno says.
"Best dancer I've seen on this show though I do have to agree with Bruno." Carrie Ann says.
"Okay now on to the scores." Tom says.
"Carrie Ann,"
"Nine,"
"Julianne,"
"Nine,"
"Bruno,"
"Eight,"
"Well there you have it a twenty-six for Brittany and Derek. Remember tune in tomorrow is a double elimination." Tom says.
Backstage Brittany catches Spencer who tootles her way over to her mom staring up at her.
"Mommy," Spencer gruggles.
"Yes Spencer mommy looks very pretty doesn't she." Santana says walking over and wrapping her arms around her wife.
"Sanny," Brittany says blushing.
"You danced beautifully Britt. Now let's head home." Santana says kissing both her wife and daughter on the top of the head.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Welcome back to our elimination tonight where two couples will go home." Tom says.
Santana scoots over to Brittany wrapping her arms around her.
"We'll make it through today." Santana whispers in her wife's ear.
"Our first couple up for elimination is Nick and Karina." Tom says.
Brittany curls more into Santana's body. She's hoping that they don't get eliminated as she doesn't know if she could stand not being her or having her wife here.
"Our second couple up for elimination is Peyton and Emma." Tom says.
Santana breaths a huge sigh of relief. She doesn't care if she's eliminated, but she'll be damned if her wife doesn't win. Dancing is her life and she knows winning this show means a lot of her.
"And our first eliminated couple is Peyton and Emma." Tom says.
They all take their turns dancing in different groups and pairs. The last dance before they announce the second eliminated couple is Brittany and Santana. The crowd and other dancers cheer as Brittany and Santana glide around with Brittany leading her wife.
"Now that was entertaining and it shows who's the boss in their marriage." Tom says.
"Hey!" Santana shouts.
"Our second two couples up for elimination are Brandi and Valentin and Jimmy and Cheryl." Tom says.
Santana does a fist pump as Brittany shakes her head at her wife.
"And sadly our eliminated couple is Brandi and Valentin."
