A/N: Today has felt so long. I've been awake 18 hours. I posted chapter one of Rebirth this morning, but I needed to update something else because it feels like it's been forever since I posted something lol.

Eighteen hours, on six hours of sleep.

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Glee!

PLEASE enjoy, favorite, follow and REVIEW!

In the next hour, Kurt and Rachel dressed Santana up until the former had approved that her look was date worthy. Actually, she was literally just wearing skinny jeans and a blouse, and she didn't understand what about it was so much better than all of the other jeans and blouses that Kurt had pulled out of her closet before finally handing her these.

"There, it's perfect," Kurt declared. Santana rolled her eyes, and she moved to look in the mirror. She did look pretty good. She just had to fix her makeup and she'd be ready to go. Which was good, because she had only half an hour until Dani was going to swing by in her car to pick her up.

"Well thanks, Olsen Twins," Santana told them with a smile that surprisingly wasn't forced. Rachel and Kurt returned the smile.

"What time are you leaving?" Kurt asked, even though he'd asked about fifteen times in the last hour. Santana thought it was completely crazy how he seemed more excited for Santana's date than she was, even though she was insanely excited.

"In half an hour," Santana answered. "Thanks again for the help, I guess, but I think I can handle everything from here."

"Alright. See you later, Santana," Rachel said with a slight wave. She returned it as the two left Santana's room. The Latina herself went into her bathroom to fix her makeup and her hair. When she was done, she suddenly understood what Kurt had meant about the casual thing. She wasn't dressed fancily, but she didn't look like the standard definition of "casual". Really, she looked kind of stunning, in her own opinion.

DDD

Dani was way too excited for her date with Santana. She was trying not to seem to obvious, though, to avoid her aunt asking questions. Unfortunately, while she was upstairs re-straightening her slightly wavy, blue hair, Becca came into her room.

"Can you knock next time?" Dani asked politely, hoping not to come off rude. The last thing she needed was for Becca to get mad at her twenty minutes before she was supposed to go pick up Santana.

"Oh yeah, sorry," Becca returned. "What are you getting all fancy for?"

Dani looked down at her clothes. She wasn't dressed particularly fancy, but maybe she was a little overdone for casual. She suddenly panicked, wondering if Santana would dress more casual than Dani and it would be all awkward. She pushed those thoughts away and replied to her aunt, "I'm going out."

"Well I figured that much by myself," Becca told her with a light laugh. "Where are you going? Who are you going with?"

"Just Breadstix," Dani answered. Really, that wasn't where they were going. Dani had found a small restaurant that no one would see them at. But she didn't want Becca to question it, and she was just avoiding the second part of the question. She knew that Becca would ask it again, so while she waited for it to come, she thought up something to say as her lie.

"With?" Becca asked again, suspicious.

"Just my Glee friends, Becca," Dani lied, giving her aunt a look that she hoped was confusion.

"Yeah, don't lie to me, Danielle," Becca commanded, and Dani was pleased to hear that her aunt had stopped calling her by her nickname. "I know what it looks like when a teenage girl gets ready for a date."

Dani frowned. "I'm not—"

"I just said to not lie to me," Becca interrupted. "Who are you going with?"

Dani narrowed her eyes and set down her straightener, unplugging it from the wall. "Just this guy," she lied.

Becca scanned over Dani's face, and then she said, "Be home by ten. If I catch you staying over at his house, you're dead meat."

That was much better that Dani had expected, actually, considering that Becca was no longer interrogating her. Dani gave her a smile and a nod, and then she grabbed her wallet and her keys.

"Why do you need your wallet? Isn't he paying?" Becca asked suddenly.

Dani blinked. "Oh, uh, yeah. He is, I just... I like to have it with me, you know?"

"Sure," Becca replied, giving her a suspicious look. "Have fun."

"I will," Dani replied, moving around her aunt and downstairs quickly. She grabbed her flats that matched her blouse and then immediately left the house. Sighing with relief at the thought that she was no longer trapped in her house with Becca, she climbed into her car and quickly drove it over to the Latina's house.

SSS

Santana heard her doorbell ring and felt her heart pick up its pace by like a billion times. She swallowed hard and hurried downstairs to open the door, where a gorgeous Dani stood. She was dressed in an outfit similar as her, and Santana was glad that Kurt hadn't over dressed her. He had been exactly right, and she now found herself very thankful for his help. She made a mental note to say that to him the next time they saw each other.

"Hey," Dani breathed out.

Santana blinked and gave her a smile. "Hey."

"You look... really pretty," Dani told her, looking like she felt really nervous. Santana hoped that her similar nerves weren't showing.

"Thanks," she said, feeling a blush on her cheeks. "You look beautiful."

Santana could practically see the breath getting caught in Dani's throat. "Thank you. Are you ready to go?"

"Sure," Santana answered, stepping outside and closing and locking the door behind her. After Kurt and Rachel getting into her house earlier, she even double checked that it was locked before following Dani down to her car. "So, where are we going?"

"A restaurant. A small one. I found it on the edge of town. No one will see us there," Dani explained. Santana felt her heart jump and do flips around in her chest when she heard that. She wasn't sure if maybe it was just because Dani had considered the fact that Santana would rather no one see them out, or maybe it was just the idea of being alone with Dani at a restaurant.

"Okay," Santana managed to say, her mind lost in its own thoughts now. She managed to add, "That sounds nice."

"It is," Dani replied. "I check it out yesterday. It's small, but their food is really good."

They were silent for a moment, and then Santana found herself laughing. Dani gave her a puzzled look. "We're so weird," Santana explained. "We hang out pretty much every day and it's never awkward, and then we do something as simple as a date and neither of us know what to say."

Dani stifled a laugh. "A date isn't all as simple as it seems."

Santana glanced at the blue haired girl. "I guess that's true. But still, you'd think we'd have something to say to each other."

"Okay then, Miss Conversation. Why don't you come up with something not awkward for us to talk about?" Dani asked with a laugh.

"Fine," Santana agreed, laughing as well. "Did you know Becca well before you came to live with her?"

Dani hesitated, but then shook her head. "No, not really. I'd met her a couple times, but not much. The most she knew about me was from my mom told her."

"Isn't that weird though? To move in with someone you barely know?" Santana asked.

Dani shrugged. "It was that or stay with my mom. Although I've begun to realize that there isn't much of a difference between them. They both like to be bossy and annoying, and they're both all conservative and narrow minded."

Santana picked up the bitterness in Dani's tone, and felt like she understood what the senior meant. "Is it hard to lie to her?"

Dani shrugged. "Not very. She thinks I'm going to Breadstix with some guy."

Santana nodded that she understood. At least she didn't have to lie to her parents, they weren't ever around. "What... what do you think she would do if she knew?"

"Who knows?" Dani answered. "Hopefully, she won't know before I get out of her house anyway."

Dani was now pulling into a parking space in a small parking lot in front of a small restaurant. Santana had to admit that it looked like nothing special at all, but Dani said the food was good, so who was Santana to complain? Plus, there wasn't really any downside to spending time alone with Dani, no matter where they were.

The hostess immediately seated them, because there were only two tables occupied, of the ten or so total in the restaurant.

"You weren't kidding, this place is small," Santana commented.

"Yeah, but you know, you can't judge it by how it looks," Dani pointed out. Santana nodded in agreement, and then a server approached them.

"Hello ladies! What can I get you two to drink?" he asked in a cheerful voice.

They both just ordered water and the server nodded and walked off. Santana opened her menu. "Hey, Santana. Can I ask you a personal question?"

Santana looked up at Dani with an amused look. "I don't know, the last time you asked me that and I said yes, you ended up knowing my deepest, darkest secret."

Dani laughed. "Well that didn't get us anywhere too bad, did it?" she teased. Santana felt herself blush a little bit, so she looked down at her menu and shrugged.

"Sure, go ahead," she said, bracing herself for the question.

"What made you change?" she asked.

"Change?" Santana looked at the senior with confusion.

"You said that you used to like... sleep around. I was just wondering what made you change," she asked in a quiet voice, sounding like she already knew the answer. Santana moved her gaze down to her menu, but she wasn't looking at anything in particular. She never told Dani when she had been with Brittany. Honestly, it wasn't long ago. Right before the end of sophomore year. Only about seven months ago. And, although most people didn't know and the few who did thought the time was shorter, that was almost how long she'd gone without sleeping with someone. It hadn't been until two months after the Brittany stuff that she stopped sleeping around. Five months.

"Brittany," Santana said finally. "I mean, after her I slept with a few guys. I thought maybe it'd help me turn straight, I guess. Then I gave it up entirely."

"Oh," Dani replied softly.

"Not that I won't have sex every again... just not with guys. You were right, it doesn't make sense for me to do that when I like girls. Plus, it's nasty," Santana muttered, shuddering. Dani's lips turned up in a smile.

The server came out with their water, and asked what they wanted to eat. Santana hadn't looked at the menu yet, but she found that Dani was already ordering for her. Honestly, she didn't mind either. It made her feel special or something? She didn't know, but she didn't mind.

"I hope you like pasta," Dani told her with a laugh, after she ordered and the waiter left again.

"Who doesn't?" Santana replied with a wide grin.

They avoided personal discussions as they waited for their food, and when it came out, Santana's mouth practically started watering. The pasta looked amazing. She immediately started to practically inhale it.

Dani raised an eyebrow. "Someone's hungry?"

Santana shrugged. "I haven't eaten since lunch. Plus, this stuff tastes awesome."

"I told you," Dani replied with a grin.

They ate their food, and Dani took out her wallet to pay. Santana felt really special by now, and she didn't really understand why. She'd been on a lot of dates where guys paid for her. Lopez, haven't you learned by now that Dani is nothing like any guy... or girl, for that matter?

They left the restaurant and as started back to Lima Heights Adjacent. They made polite conversation, but as they approached Santana's house, Dani said to Santana, "Thanks for going out with me tonight, Santana."

The car stopped in front of the Latina's house. "No, thank you. It was fun... we should definitely do it again."

Dani's eyes lit up at that, and Santana leaned forward and placed a soft kiss on her lips. Then she turned and opened the door of the car, stepping out and looking back at Dani with a soft smile. She waved and headed back up to her house. That had seriously been one of the best nights of her life.

DDD

Dani felt like she was walking up on cloud nine, and she really didn't mind. That date was the best night of her life. She walked into her house and ran upstairs before Becca could ruin her good mood.

Unfortunately, someone else decided to ruin it.

Her phone rang, and she answered it without looking at the ID. "Danielle!" came her mom's voice.

"O-oh, hi mom," Dani returned, frowning. "What's up?"

"Becca told me that you went out on a date with a boy tonight!" she exclaimed excitedly.

Shit.

Becca and Dani's (still unnamed) Mother -.- No one likes them.
