"Rachel, your friend Brittany's here!" Rachel's dad called up the stairs, hoping she was able to hear him. When no response was given, he sighed and turned to the tall blonde who was studying the photographs on the wall. "I'm sorry, but it seems like she's either listening to music or her door's closed."

Straightening, Brittany tilted her head while she looked at him. "That's okay, Mr. B. I'll just go up." Then, before he could respond, she was already halfway up the stairs.

Not bothering to knock, Brittany swung Rachel's bedroom door open. Spying her girlfriend lying on her bed on her stomach, iPod earbuds in her ears as she read a book, Brittany smiled widely. Shutting the door, she took a running leap.

With a shriek, Rachel ripped out her earbuds before halfway rolling over, barely able to glare at the girl on top of her before an eager mouth captured hers. Immediately moaning and relaxing, she slid her arms around Brittany's shoulders to pull her closer. One of Brittany's long legs fell in between hers, and she arched her back to extend the area of contact.

"Mmm… Today you taste like cotton candy." Brittany smiled against her, pushing herself up a little and shifting to the side to lie beside Rachel.

"And you taste like frosting." Licking her lips to experience the combination of their two lip gloss flavors, Rachel shifted onto her side. Propping her head up, she reached over and gently moved some of Brittany's hair away from her face, "Hi."

Brittany grinned, surging forward and suddenly leaping on Rachel again, sweeping her up in her arms. Rolling them over so she was on the bottom, she tightened her hug, "Ra-ache! Guess what?"

Squirming a little but secretly loving the embrace, Rachel finally gave up and snuggled into the blonde's shoulder, "What?"

"The zoo's opening back up again today!"

Rachel paused the stroking of Brittany's arm for a second, "Oh, oh yes. It is, isn't it?"

"Yup!" Grinning broadly, Brittany's blue eyes sparkled, and she pulled Rachel with her off of the bed. "And you promised to go with San n' me, remember?"

Rachel's eyes widened, but she quickly schooled her expression into a soft smile. Placing her hands around Brittany's waist and leaning up to kiss her gently, she moved back, "I did, didn't I?"

Brittany's smile widened, and she nodded. "You did! Now c'mon!" Grabbing Rachel's hand, she tugged her out of her room, "Let's go get San! I want to see the new baby giraffe!"

Smiling fondly at her girlfriend's enthusiasm, Rachel managed to grab her phone and wallet when Brittany got caught up talking with her dad about the differences between echidnas and platypuses, which, sadly, the Lima Zoo had neither. Then, retaking the taller girl's hand and leading her out of the house after wishing her father goodbye, Rachel unlocked her car.

All she could hope was that Santana would remember their truce.

Santana was bored. She vaguely remembered that there was something she was supposed to be doing that day, but since she didn't keep anything like a usable calendar, she figured that if it was something important, someone would contact her. So, still in the pajama pants and tank top she had slept in, she lounged on her bed, trying to decide if she wanted to paint her nails red or keep them naked. She'd already painted her toenails black just because she could, but there was no way she'd ever do that goth shit anywhere where people could see it. She was no Stutt – well, ex-Stutters.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of the front door opening, followed by someone running up the stairs, and she barely had time to make sure all of the nail polishes were tightly closed before her girlfriend barged into her room and jumped on top of her.

"San, San, San!" Brittany squealed, almost crushing her with her hug, "Guess what, guess what?"

Scowling to cover up her sappy grin, Santana pushed Brittany away enough so she could breathe. "What, B?" she asked, situating herself so she could pull the blonde back on top of her and kiss her thoroughly, snaking her arms around her waist.

Kissing her back with just as much enthusiasm, Brittany pulled back in a natural pause and beamed at her. "San," she smiled down at her, sitting up to straddle her upper thighs, almost bouncing on top of her, "We're going to the zoo today!"

Sucking in a breath at the movements of the other girl, Santana curled her hands around Brittany's hips. "Oh, yeah?" she murmured, smiling seductively, "Sounds great. When are we leaving?" So that's what she had forgotten. Hopefully they had enough time to have some sexy fun…

"Well," Brittany kissed her excitedly again, then jumped off of her, "Rache's waiting in the car, so up! Up! Get dressed!"

Santana scowled for real at the mention of Rachel, but she grudgingly got up. "Fine, fine, I'm going, I'm going. Don't want to keep her waiting, now do we?" Grabbing the clothing she'd set aside for whenever she was going to have another date with Brittany, she left the blonde to her own devices as she went to the bathroom to get ready to go.

Yay… Have to play nice with the dwarf… Totally her idea of fun.
