A/N: The Santana and Rachel mashup names are based off the ones from Chapter 105 of purrpickle's story Pieces.

Santana was dying. She hadn't seen Rachel since they'd parted for first period that morning. It was now lunch. She sat at a table with Quinn, Mercdes, Kurt, Mike, and Tina. Her eyes kept darting from her food to the entrance to the cafeteria. "Where is Rachel?" Santana wondered out loud. Mike shrugged and Quinn grinned.

"What's the matter, S? Can't deal with being apart from your lover?" Quinn teased. Santana smiled.

"Well, at least one of my best friends is happy for me." Santana said.

"What do you mean?" Quinn asked.

"Britt slushied Rachel this morning." Santana explained. Quinn raised an eyebrow.

"Brittany? Sweet Brittany?" Quinn asked. Santana nodded.

"Yep." Santana said.

"But that doesn't make any sense." Mercedes said.

"Yea. Britt loves Rachel." Kurt said. Santana shrugged and started to say something when her eyes met the door. Rachel walked into the cafeteria. Santana instantly smiled, before noticing something was off and frowned as Rachel sat down.

"Hey San." Rachel said, smiling at Santana. Santana smiled back.

"Hey Rae." Santana said, leaning in. Quinn, Mercedes, Kurt, Tina, and Mike jokingly made sick noises. Santana turned and glared at them. "Hey. If I wants to mack on my girl, then I will." Santana said before kissing Rachel.

FLASHBACK

Santana and Rachel walked out of the bathroom hand in hand. Santana walked Rachel to her class and only let go of her hand when they reached the door. "So I'll see you later?" Santana whispered, wrapping her arms around Rachel's waist. Rachel nodded and hooked her arms around Santana's neck.

"See you at lunch." Rachel whispered. Santana smiled before leaning in to kiss Rachel. She pulled away when she heard the confused voices of their schoolmates.

"Don't you losers have anything better to do than to gawk at me and my girl? Get to steppin'!" Santana yelled. Rachel chuckled and grabbed Santana's chin, gently pulling her head around to face Rachel again. "Right. Sorry." Santana whispered. Rachel offered her a smile. "Lunch." Santana said.

"Lunch." Rachel repeated, kissing Santana again before going into her classroom.

END FLASHBACK

"So, Rae, how's your day been so far?" Santana asked. Rachel shrugged.

"Eh... uneventful." Rachel said. Santana nodded and started a conversation with Quinn while keeping a hand on Rachel's thigh. 'Wow... Santana is really unobservant.' Rachel thought. Santana finished her sentence before looking over at Rachel again.

"So... who slushied you?" Santana asked, trying to sound as calm as possible. Rachel looked over with wide eyes.

"Took you long enough to notice." Rachel said.

"Oh, I noticed the second you walked into the cafeteria wearing a different outfit than the one you changed into earlier. I was just waiting to see if you'd tell me. You didn't, which prompts me to believe that it was Britt." Santana said. Rachel was silent. "Was it her?" More silence. "Rachel, don't lie to me. Was it Brittany?" Santana asked. Rachel hesitated. "Rae..." Santana said.

"Fine! Yes, it was Brittany. Again. I just didn't want to tell you, because I knew you'd get mad and I don't want you to go and end your friendship with Brittany like you said." Rachel said. Santana sighed and took Rachel's face in her hands gently.

"Listen, we need to get one thing clear. You're number one on my list of people to worry about and protect. That means, if anyone messes with you, then you need to come straight to me and tell me so that I can help you, okay?" Santana said. Rachel nodded. Santana looked up and saw Brittany leaving the cafeteria. "Okay. Now if you'll excuse me for a second, I'll be back to walk you to Geography." Santana said. She kissed Rachel before getting up and running out of the cafeteria. "Brittany!" she yelled. Brittany turned around. "What the hell did I say about bullying Rachel?" Santana asked.

"And I told you that I wasn't giving up that easily." Brittany said.

"If you want to keep me as a friend, leave Rachel alone." Santana said. Rachel came into the hallway and turned the corner, practically running into the arguing friends.

"San? Are you o...kay?" Rachel asked, looking up from her phone and seeing Brittany. Santana gave Brittany a warning look before looking back at Rachel with a small smile.

"Yea, I'm good, Rae. Why don't you go back into the caf? Brittany and I were just talking." Santana said. Rachel nodded. "Right Britt?" Santana said with a pointed glare. Brittany sighed and looked down. Santana looked down and saw Brittany holding another cup filled with a slushie. "Britt... don't do it." Santana said. Brittany looked at Santana, looked over at Rachel, before looking back at Santana. "Brittany... I'm warning you." Santana said. Brittany hesitated.

"S... I can break up with Artie. I'll do it. We can be together now. I'll do it... I want to be with you." Brittany said. Rachel bit her lip and looked at Santana.

"Not Artie?" Santana asked. Rachel looked down. Brittany smirked internally and shook her head.

"Only you." Brittany said. Santana looked down.

"Britt..." Santana said. Rachel took a step back.

"Actually, I think I am going to head back into the caf. I'll see you guys later." Rachel said. She started to walk away, but Santana grabbed her arm.

"Hold up Berry. You need to calm yourself and listen to this piece of news I'm about to throw your way, clear?" Santana said, Rachel looked at her and Santana saw the hurt and pain in her eyes. Brittany smiled. Santana reached over and hugged Brittany. "Thank you for telling me that, Britt." Santana said. Rachel looked down. "But I don't like you that way anymore. I don't want to be with you like that anymore. I'll always love you, but... more like a friend. I'm sorry." Brittany's jaw dropped in shock.

"But... S... We're perfect for each other. We're Brittany and Santana..." Brittany stuttered.

"Not anymore. I'm with Rachel now." Santana said. Rachel looked up.

"But we're Brittana!" Brittany exclaimed. Santana bit her lip and shook her head and grabbed Rachel's hand.

"Britt, I'm sorry. But I'm on team..." Santana thought. "Team... Lochel...no... Sa... Sanchel... uh... Pez... chel... no wait... Lopez... Berry... Lo... berry... ugh... wait... Pez... berry... Pezberry. There we go. I'm on team Pezberry now, Britt." Santana said, pulling Rachel closer. "And I want you to back off." Santana said. Brittany shook her head.

"I'm sorry S. I can't do that." Brittany said. She lifted her cup and started the motion to throw the slushie in Rachel's face.

"Britt, don't." Santana yelled, pulling Rachel into her body in an attempt to shield her from the cold drink. Both girls were showered in cold, purple liquid. "Ah! God dammit! Britt, you know I hate grape!" Santana yelled.

"You weren't supposed to jump in!" Brittany yelled back.

"Well, what the hell did you expect me to do when your throwing a slushie in my girlfriend's face?" Santana asked. She let go of Rachel and got in Brittany's face. "What did I tell you about bullying Rachel? I said if you slushie her again, we're gonna have a problem. Well guess what? We have a problem!" Santana yelled. Rachel came over and pulled Santana back. The furious Latina tried to escape her girlfriend's grip and move back.

"Santana! The longer you wait, the harder it will be to get the slushie out!" Rachel said. Santana looked at Rachel. The smaller brunette silently pleaded with her eyes and Santana gave in and nodded.

"Okay." she whispered. Santana allowed Rachel to pull her in the direction of the nearest bathroom. Brittany's voice pulled her back.

"San, it'll never work out! You always said you wanted someone who you didn't have to protect from the masses! At least with me, the masses already respect us! Oh my god! Dump the loser already!" Brittany yelled. Rachelo looked down. Santana turned around.

"Don't you get it? We're all losers! Everyone in this damn town is a loser!" Santana said.

"Well, Rachel is an even bigger loser." Brittany said. Santana laughed sarcastically.

"Great comeback." Santana said as she walked back to Brittany.

"Santana!" Rachel protested. Santana ignored as she got back in Brittany's face.

"We're through." Santana said. Brittany looked at her in shock.

"What?" Brittany asked.

"You and me? We're done!" Santana yelled. She turned around and walked back to Rachel, pulling her into the bathroom. She grabbed some paper towels and ran them under warm water. She went over to Rachel and started wiping the slushie off.

"What about you?" Rachel asked. Santana shrugged. Rachel stepped around Santana and grabbed some more paper towels, wet them, and started cleaning Santana off as well. "Are you okay?" Rachel asked.

"Why wouldn't I be?" Santana asked.

"You just broke up with your best friend." Rachel said.

"She insulted you. It pissed me off. Ergo, friendship is over." Santana said.

"You just ditched your best friend of many years for a two week old relationship. Ergo, you're gonna resent me soon." Rachel said.

"I'm not gonna resent you. We're good, Rae." Santana smirked as she leaned down and kissed some of the ice off Rachel's neck.

"I thought you hated grape." Rachel said. Santana smiled.

"It's not so bad when it's on you." Santana said. Rachel smiled.

"So... Pezberry?" Rachel asked.

"What do you think?" Santana asked.

"I love it. You'd never know you came up with it on the spot." Rachel said. Santana smiled.

"So you want to finish cleaning up?" Santana asked with a sly smile.

"Yes. But in a productive manner that won't leave me with a hickey." Rachel said. Santana frowned. "Santana..." Rachel warned.

"Fine. I won't leave a huge hickey." Santana said.

"San." Rachel said. Santana laughed.

"I'm kidding baby. Let's get cleaned up. First let me text Q and tell her to bring our stuff." Santana said. Rachel smiled and kissed Santana.
