A/N: Clearly, I will not reach my goal of 50 drabbles by the time I leave South Africa. I am, however, really enjoying writing them (as infrequently as it happens) so I think I will continue with this particular project.
Requests are welcome! What would you guys like to see?
Still not mine.
When the time comes for getting class rings, Brittany is thrilled to learn that they can personalize them by selecting the emblems that go on the sides of the ring. She listens as all her friends agonize over their choices, but doesn't really understand their indecision. She didn't even have to think twice about what to put on her ring, shouldn't it be the same for them?
Santana goes back and forth over her decision as much as everyone else does, and is surprised when Brittany tells her that she has already picked her two insignia and ordered the ring. "Well?" she asks the blonde bluntly. "What did you choose? And how did you decide?"
"It was easy," Brittany says, a little confused. "I wanted to have the two things I'm most proud of, and there were only two things that came to mind right away."
"And? What were they?" demands the Latina.
"The National Honor Society torch for one side, and a musical note, for Glee, for the other," Brittany replies, uncertain what her best friend would think. "You don't mind that I didn't pick the cheerleading pom-poms, do you?"
Santana thinks about it for a minute. Brittany loves Glee, and the original twelve members of New Directions have become their own little family. And contrary to popular belief, the blonde is very intelligent; she just needed a little pushing in the right direction to do well in her classes, and she quickly found herself doing well in all her classes. (The push? Came in the form of one Rachel Berry.) When Brittany was inducted into the National Honor Society, no one cheered harder for her than her Glee teammates.
So yes, Santana is a little surprised that Brittany didn't pick a symbol to commemorate her time as a Cheerio. But she couldn't be prouder of her friend for her two choices, because she knows those are the two things for which the blonde has worked the hardest.
"No, Brit. I think that's perfect. I don't mind at all," Santana smiles.
