A/N: Fluffyish filler chapter :)

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Glee!

PLEASE enjoy, favorite, follow and REVIEW!

On Monday, Santana woke up with a smile on her face. She jumped up, got dressed in her uniform, and did her makeup a little more thoughtfully than normal. She felt like she had to impress Dani, or something. Then she ate a slice of toast and went outside to wait for Quinn's car.

Quinn came right on time, and Santana jumped into the car without her. "What's got you smiling like an idiot?" Quinn wondered casually as they drove to school.

"Just something," Santana muttered, opening her phone and finding a text from Dani.

From Dani- Good morning!

To Dani- Good morning yourself! (:

"Just something? Just something doesn't get Santana Lopez this happy. You've got like a goofy grin on your face," Quinn commented, lifting an eyebrow.

"Yeah, I read something funny," Santana lied.

"Yeah, right," Quinn replied, rolling her eyes but keeping them on the road. "I saw you texting someone. Who is it?"

"I wasn't," Santana lied.

"Alright, Santana, I am tired of you lying to me! Aren't I your best friend?" Quinn demanded, sounding more sad and exasperated than actually angry.

Santana frowned as her phone vibrated and she put the thing in lock. She would read the text in a second. "Quinn, I'm not—"

"Yes, you are! So stop lying and tell me the truth!" Quinn exclaimed. They pulled into the school parking lot as Santana looked guiltily down at her hands. When the parked, Quinn turned to the Latina expectantly.

"Quinn... I want to tell you. But I can't. Not right now," Santana mumbled, feeling really bad. But she wasn't a hundred percent sure how Quinn would react, and if word of all this got back to Santana's parents because Quinn leaked it... there was no telling what they would do.

"Why not?" Quinn asked desperately.

"Quinn, you're my best friend. But last year, you didn't trust me with either of your biggest secrets," Santana told her pointedly, before continuing with, "and my secret could do just as much damage as yours did. And I have to be careful with telling people."

Quinn frowned. "It's comparable to sleeping with your best friend's hookup guy, getting pregnant, getting kicked out of your house and then having a baby and giving it up for adoption?"

"It could be, yes. I don't know. That's why I can't tell you yet," Santana told Quinn quietly. "Please don't be mad. I really wish I could tell you, Q. You're my best friend."

Quinn sighed. "Fine. Let's go to practice."

As they walked to practice, Santana tried to discreetly check her texts.

From Dani- I'll see you in Spanish (:

And that she did. Santana walked into Spanish class glowing. She felt elated, happier than ever before. Sure, she couldn't tell Quinn her biggest secret, and sure, only two people that weren't Santana and Dani actually knew what was going on, but it was still good. Even better than good.

"Someone looks happy," Dani commented with a smile.

"Someone is happy," Santana returned, beaming.

Suddenly, Santana noticed that Sara chick walking in the room looking utterly depressed. The Latina looked at Dani.

"What's got her all depressed?" Santana asked.

"I asked her to stop flirting with me," Dani admitted with a shrug. Santana felt a smile tugging at her lips.

"Oh is that all?" the Latina asked, guessing that she sounded like a huge dork, but she was allowed to be happy about that.

The blue-haired girl laughed and shook her head at the junior, who just smiled widely.

When lunch came, Santana found herself sitting up straight, eating her food and actually involving herself in conversation. Of course, she was occasionally glancing over a certain, blue haired girl across the cafeteria. Rachel and Kurt kept looking at her, but she ignored them. She wasn't going to let them make this awkward for her.

"Well, you seem happier this week," Mercedes commented, looking at her.

Santana shrugged, taking a bite of her sandwich as the others looked at her suspiciously. Finally, Rachel said, "Santana, have you started practicing your half of you and Danielle's sectionals song?"

Santana blinked. "Wait, wait, what?"

"Oh right, she ditched Friday's practice," Mercedes reminded the shorter girl.

"You're coming to Glee today right?" Rachel asked her.

"Yeah," Santana answered.

"Alright, we'll catch you and Danielle up then," Rachel decided with a smile, which Santana easily returned. It wasn't hard when she was so happy.

Quinn looked at the Latina. "That's weird, both you and Danielle ditched Glee." Santana just shrugged, not eager to respond to that.

However, she did find something to say. "Why do you always assume that I'm hanging out with her?" Santana asked, being careful not to accidentally slip and say "Dani". That wouldn't help her argument.

"Well, your crazy mood swings started when she got here, and you're always looking in that direction," Quinn explained.

"You guys always sit next to each other in Glee, and don't you have like two other classes together?" Mercedes added.

Santana shrugged. "Whatever. We're friends. It's no big deal."

Next period, in Theater, Santana and Dani spent the entire class time talking and joking around. They were supposed to be working on a short performance to do in front of the class, but neither of them were worried about it and they had three more days to work on it in class. Plus, it wasn't like they didn't hangout outside of school as well.

"You know, Santana," Dani said at one point in their conversation. "You don't seem like a cheerleader to me."

Santana tilted her head. "I don't?"

Dani shook her head as a no. "No. I mean, I'm used to the outfit, and your body totally fits the cheerleader body, but like... I don't know. I just don't see it."

Santana's cheeks turned red at the mention of her body, but she ignored it and smiled. "You're the only one who can say that, because you're the only one who's seen the not bitchy Santana. Bitchy Santana is the cheerleader."

"I like not bitchy Santana a lot better," Dani admitted. Their eyes locked for a moment before they tore them apart.

"Well, maybe she'll try to make more appearances," Santana replied with a slight smile.

Their gazes kept locking in their conversation, and by the time class ended, Santana just needed to feel Dani's lips move with her own. They went to their bathroom and spent two minutes tasting one another's mouths and lips, before going to their next classes breathless and turned on. Santana couldn't say she was complaining, though.

During Glee later, everyone filled Dani and Santana in on what song they were going to sing for sectionals and who had which parts. Both girls really liked the song, so that was good, and their parts matched their voices perfectly. Also, it was a totally neutral song, which meant that it would be hard for their eyes to lock together and get people asking questions.

DDD

For sectionals, besides their number, Rachel also had a solo and the whole group had one big number. All of the songs were great and fun, and Dani found herself really excited for competition. Sure, she'd be singing in front of hundreds of people, but she didn't think it would be all too bad. Especially not with Santana standing right next to her the whole time.

Santana. That girl was something else, something really special. Dani found herself feeling closer and closer to the girl, and she wanted nothing more than to ask her to be her girlfriend. However, she knew how hesitant Santana was about the whole dating thing, so she didn't plan to ask that question for a while. And especially not before she called her best friend Anna and talked to her about it. Anna always knew what to do.

She and Santana went home separately that day, but when Dani got home, she couldn't help but think about the other girl, and wish that they were together at that very moment. She thought about texting her, but she didn't know if Santana was at home or with Quinn somewhere. Plus, she didn't want to seem clingy and freak Santana out. She knew she'd already freaked her out enough with the dad thing, and probably again when she'd called her "babe" via text message. The last thing she wanted was for that girl to go running away from her.

"Dani!" came Becca's voice from downstairs suddenly. Dani jumped up and left her bedroom, walking downstairs toward Becca's voice.

"Yeah?" she asked, finding her aunt chopping vegetables in the kitchen.

"How come I never heard about that Santana girl until Saturday?" Becca questioned, raising an eyebrow.

Dani felt a sudden clench in her chest. Becca sounded way too much like her sister, Dani's mom. And it freaked Dani out. "I don't know. I'm almost eighteen, it's not like I have to tell you everything."

"She doesn't live down in the heights does she?" Becca asked, ignoring Dani's comment.

"No, she lives just five houses down from here. Her grandma lives in Lima Heights," Dani told her aunt. She specifically said the last part to see if Becca reacted.

"Ugh, I need to move out of this neighborhood," Becca grumbled. "I've never felt safe so close to the heights."

Dani didn't know what to say, so she just stood silently for a moment.

"Do you know Santana's parents? I really wouldn't trust many of the people around here," Becca commented.

"Um, you live here, Becca," Dani pointed out, crossing her arms. "And to answer your questions, I have not met her parents. But, her dad is a surgeon at the hospital, and her mom is a nurse there. They work all of the time."

"Hmph," Becca replied, not really saying an audible word. "Alright. Just watch you who trust, Dani."

Dani hesitated, but then she felt words coming out of her mouth suddenly, "Can you stop calling me Dani please?"

"Why?" Becca asked, raising her eyebrows.

"I just... don't like it as much anymore," Dani lied.

"Alright... man, I get used to it and now I have to switch back," she said with a light laugh.

Dani returned it with a half smile, but then she turned and left the kitchen. She didn't like living here with her aunt. It felt like mom away from mom. Now, though, she understood why her mom had given her those two options.

When she got back upstairs, she saw she had a text message.

From Santana- Come over? (:

I know it was short and boring :(

"Their bathroom"

This story, like all of my other stories, are going to occasionally have filler chapters like this, and I apologize for that. It's just sometimes I need a chapter or so to sort everything out before I get back to the hard stuff. Plus, at least most of my filler chapters end up being fluff, because who wants drama ALL the time?

So for a while, I thought this story was going to end up more popular than WDCT, but I don't think it is. Hard to tell, bc I can't remember how many followers and reviews I had at chapter 16 of WDCT. That was like in November. Can't remember lol.

For anyone reading WDCT, be prepared because tomorrow is its last chapter. :3

Goodnight lovelies! Please review!
