Hi, I do not own Glee. Please review :)

Let's go back in time a little bit. Happened before Rumours but after Rekindle. I googled Santana's birthday, apparently it's October 31 1994. I'm not sure if RIB did this on purpose. (Diabla, devil, halloween?) Anyway, I'm not sure if this chapter matches the timeline. (I mean, let's be honest, the glee timeline is pretty confusing) and correct me if I'm wrong, season 2 happened in 2010, right? So Santana would be turning 16 at this chap. Hah.

"Artie, baby?" she said as she was strolling Artie down the hallways of McKinley.

"Yes, beautiful?" he turned his head and leaned a little bit to the right to look at Brittany.

She gave him a smile. "It's Santana's birthday the day after tomorrow and I'm preparing a surprise for her so I won't be able to go to your place later, or tomorrow, for that matter."

"Oh..." he looked forward to his disappointment. "Sure, baby. She's your best friend. It's cool."

"Yay!" she kissed his cheek. "Best boyfriend ever."

"How about halloween? Will we still go trick or treating with matching outfits?" he pleaded.

"Of course!"

Brittany spent her afternoon making a to-do list for them tomorrow, trying her best not to misspell anything. She wanted to bake a cake for Santana but when she was trying to read the instructions, she got a lot of stuff mixed up, ended up being a disaster and so she gave up and bought a cake instead. She dialed Santana's number on her phone and the brunette quickly answered.

"Hi, Britt-Britt!"

"Santana Lopez. Do you have plans with Karofsky tomorrow? Cancel them." Brittany it said in a monotonous tone.

"What? No. I'm having the usual Spanish dinner with my family then I'm free to go. You know my routine at that day, baby." Santana put emphasis on 'that'. Recently, she started to hate her birthday celebration with her family. They celebrate it a day before her actual birthday, October 31. Mainly because it was halloween and both her doctor parents had shifts; a lot of accidents happen in halloween. So Santana usually spends her actual birthday in a lot of Halloween parties. October 30 is a day when both of her parents giving her a lot of cash and clothes and other stuff, a day her parents were both there and they eat as a 'familia', and she used to like it. But when she grew a little older, she realized that weren't really there, that his father is forced to make it look like a family, but it isn't. So when she told her best friend about that, Brittany vowed to spend that night every year with Santana if she doesn't have any plans with other people.

Brittany smiled. "Good. Because we're spending the night outside! So I'll swing by your place after your dinner, around 9, cool with you?"

Outside? "Sure. But, um, outside?"

"That's a secret. Bye!" she made a kissing sound and ended the call.

"Hey, bring a jacket. It's almost November, it's cold out." Brittany was leaning on the fence of Santana's house both hands in her pockets. She was freezing. She saw Santana and thought she was a little underdressed.

Santana scrunched her face and pretended to look annoyed. "Okay, mother." she quickly stepped back in the house and took a jacket. When she stepped outside again, Brittany smiled at her.

"Much better." she kissed Santana's cheek. "You ready?"

"To do what, exactly?" Santana raised a brow.

Brittany brought one hand out of her pocket, revealing a folded bond paper. She handed it to Santana. "Read it, baby."

Santana quickly unfolded the paper and there it was, in multicolored crayons, she read it out loud.

"To do:

1. Eat the dessert Brittany made

2. Buy liquor

3. Get in somewhere off limits

4. Shout how much we love each other in the same place

5. Get to know a stranger

6. Lie down on the road

7. Prank call a friend or an enemy

8. Sing loudly while passing by houses

9. Reenact the famous Titanic scene

10. Star gaze at the park

11. Kiss each other under the stars

12. Outdoor sex

13. Build a tent/camp

14. More sex

15. After sex selfie

16. Sleep the whole morning"

while she was reading it, her facial expressions changed from happy to creeped out, from a cute smile to an evil smirk, but mostly, an occasional loving glance to Brittany.

Brittany broke the silence. "So, whaddya think? Whaddya think? There are sixteen items because it's your sixteenth birthday!" she furrowed her brow. "By the way, I didn't make the cake. I got too confused. I just bought it, sorry." Brittany frowned.

"Okay, let me go through this one by one. One to four, got no problem with that. Five, li'l bit creepy since the only strangers we'll probably meet at night are homeless dudes and ghosts." Brittany's eyes widened. Santana knew Brittany believed in ghosts and stuff like that so she teased her. "I'm kidding, love!" she gave Brittany an apologetic smile. "Six, sure. Seven, Rachel dwarfy, please. Eight to eleven, I would love to." Brittany smiled endearingly in response. "Twelve, no! Thirteen, I hate camping. So much bugs and shit... But maybe you can convince me. The rest is cool with me." she winked. "By the way, where will you get all the stuff we need?"

"No need to worry about that. Five, are animals considered strangers? And why no outdoor sex? That would be fun." Santana frowned and she grinned back. "Thirteen, let's see... if we don't camp, you won't be getting fourteen to sixteen." she gave Santana a smug look.

"Fine! Camping it is. But can you at least let me get a bug spray?" Santana pouted.

"I got that covered." she smirked. "Outdoor sex."

"Wow, you really prepared, huh, genius? No. Someone might see. I like to keep you all to myself, you know?"

Brittany looked upwards, deep in thought. Finally, she smirked. "Fine. Let's change that to 'Brittany makes love to Santana so hard that she forgets her name and her birthday.'. I'm kidding. Leave it as it is, we'll make something up along the way."

Santana was sure she never been redder her whole life.

They went into a convenient store where the cashier guy was a blondie in his 20's. He was pretty fit and looked incredibly bored. Santana fluttered her eyelashes and leaned on the counter, revealing her cleavage. "Hi there..." she looked at the blondie's name tag, "...Mitch. You own the store?"

Brittany appeared beside Santana, holding a bottle of Absolut. "Nah. My pop owns it. You need something ladies?"

"Cool. So, are you in college or what?" Santana sweetly said.

"Going to college this fall. Leaving this small town. Are you in college, um, what's your name?" He smiled at Santana.

Santana smiled and lied. "Alison. Leaving for college too. This is my friend, Cynthia." She pointed at Brittany.

"I'm buying this." Brittany raised the bottle to Mitch. She gave Santana a smirk.

"ID, please?" Mitch took the bottle and checked the price.

"Oh… crap. I forgot my license. Do you really need to check?" Brittany gave him a cute pout and tilted her head.

"That'll be $20.99." He looked up to see Brittany and raised a brow. After processing the payment and giving them what they bought he smirked. "Please come by again, Alison and Cynthia."

Santana winked and the two raced to the exit, laughing. "Great job there, baby. Although I must admit, even I almost fell for your pout." She took out the crayon filled paper and a pen and crossed out numbers 2 and 5. "So, what do you suggest we do next?"

"Well, by my schedule, we should be going somewhere illegal to shout how much we love each other and eat the cake. By somewhere illegal, I mean the hospital's rooftop." Santana opened her mouth to say something but Brittany knew what she was going to say. "Yes, your mother's office. And yes, we won't get into trouble." She winked. She brought out her phone and started texting someone. After a few seconds, she returned the phone to her pocket. Holding the vodka in one hand, she took Santana's hand by the other and ran towards the hospital which was three blocks away. When they got there, they entered and the front desk lady smiled at Brittany, who promptly smiled back. Brittany took out a handkerchief from her pocket and turned it into a blindfold.

"Blindfold? Really, Britt?" Santana hesitantly took the blindfold.

Brittany helped Santana cover her eyes. "Yup. Now, take my hand. Let's go." She led Santana to the elevator and after a few seconds of awkward silence, the elevator pinged that they were on the top floor. "We're gonna take the stairs, baby, hold tight."

Santana raised her arms and baby-talked. "Carry me, puh-lease."

"Walk, you dork." Brittany laughed. "Or you know, I could carry you." She lifted Santana from her waist, carrying her like a sack up the stairs.

"P-put me down!" She lightly punched Brittany's back.

Brittany tried not to laugh. "Kick the door open, baby."

Santana kicked it open and immediately, she felt the cold October air through her hair. As soon as she did that, Brittany put her down. Santana felt Brittany's warm hand reach for her so she gladly accepted it. After a few steps, she felt Brittany's hand leave hers and started undoing the blindfold. When she opened her eyes, she saw a banner that says 'Happy 16th Birthday, Santana Lopez!'. She looked down at the floor and there was a birthday cake with sixteen candles, some were lighted, some were blown out by the wind. "Oh my god, Britt…" she felt the tears well up.

Brittany put the bottle down and hugged Santana from the back. "It's not yet 12am but happy birthday baby." She kissed the side of Santana's head.

"Oh my god… you are the best best friend ever." She broke free from the hug to face Brittany. "I love you." She kissed Brittany slowly, sweetly but passionately.

Brittany gave her a satisfied smile. Suddenly, her eyes widened. "Three and four."

"What?" Santana squinted her eyes. Then a sudden realization hit her. The list!

Suddenly, Brittany shouted in the loudest way that could wake the whole Lima community. "I LOVE YOUUUUU, SANTANAAAAA!" she looked at Santana who was covering her ears and gave her a megawatt smile. "I LOVE YOU SOOOOOO MUCH!" she shouted to the sky.

Santana grinned like a child who was given a new toy. She took a deep breath and screamed her affection at the top of her lungs. "I LOVE BRITTANY PIERCEEEEEEE!" Brittany's smile only got brighter. "I LOVE LOVE LOVE HER!" she took out the list and crossed out three and four.

"Hey, cross out one too. We're gonna eat the cake before moving to our next venue." She pointed at number one. "So that felt good, right?"

"Other than the fact that there are probably a hundred angry patients at us right now, yeah, it felt good." Santana lightly laughed.

Brittany placed a finger on the cake and poked Santana's nose with her cream covered finger.

Santana pouted at Brittany while wiping her nose. She sat on the floor and took a slice of the decadent chocolate caramel cake. She indulged to a spoonful of it and fed Brittany another spoonful. "But you know, if you got us in here without anyone coming after us, it's technically not off-limits."

Brittany just rolled her eyes and smiled at the brunette.
